Once he was done talking, the guardian god sent away Leah to her home and Azzy back to Aclein without letting them speak about Leah's confession, not wanting to embarrass them in any way. Earlier, he was just fooling around with Azzy, that's all.
Azzy also thought that it is better that way and neither did Leah attempt to contact him out of embarrassment. She even fought with Excalibur for not telling her that the one she proposed is a real one.
In the end, she decided to busy herself with the kingdom's affairs and forget about it so that she can act calmer the next time she meets her love.
Meanwhile, Azzy had a similar thought and continued his journey to Aclein city.
Later, at midnight, Affea mansion, Aclein City;
After locking his door, he sat on the floor and placed the mirror before him as advised by the Reaper. Upon facing the setback, Azzy no longer wanted to mess this one up and diligently followed the Reaper's instructions.
"Okay, now listen to me carefully." The Reaper explained the process to Azzy. "What we are currently doing right now is freeing the Jinn from its prison. Since it was already revived, you need to make sure that it won't escape.
First, we set up a space barrier that will isolate the surroundings from the rest of the world. Then, you will keep your hourglass ready. As soon as you free it from the mirror using the gluttony beast, you need to stop the time so that it won't try anything funny.
To concrete your chances more, you can also summon your undead general and hold it tightly when time stops.
Once you are in control, you have to control the beast like it is the extension of your hand. After you swallow him whole into your body, I will take care of the rest. By the way, don't forget to display the three cosmic gems."
Azzy firmly nodded without asking any questions, "Okay, let's do this…"
Taking a deep breath, Azzy proceeded to follow the procedure after summoning his three artifacts which the cosmic gems are embedded in.
Since Azzy doesn't know about setting up the space barrier, he let the Reaper do it for him and then returned to the mindscape.
Soon, the slime-like beast with a huge mouth and countless teeth made its appearance in the form of energy before swallowing the mirror.
The seal that bound the mirror and the Jinn was broken quite easily and the demonic creature quickly made its appearance.
With the presence of the cosmic gems that stunned it for a few moments, Azzy took the opportunity to use the soul skill of Hourglass and stop the time, followed by summoning the peak-rank-9 undead.
From there, everything went smoothly as the Reaper planned. In fact, the Jinn didn't put up any resistance from the start to the end.
Within no time, it found itself on the edge of the cliff in Azzy's mindscape, where the Reaper is waiting for his new slave.
Just like how Azzy was staring at the sky and the barren land when he awakened for the first time, the Jinn was also doing the same, except that the ground is actually full of undead beasts roaming around and there was a floating island in the sky. It had the look of confusion for it doesn't know where it was.
"Hello there, the creature of the cosmos."
A voice was suddenly heard from its behind and the Jinn abruptly turned around.
"Who… who are you?" The Jinn felt extremely afraid of the creature floating before him. For cosmic creatures and spirits like Jinn, the cosmic gems were akin to the greatest delicacy or the most beautiful thing in the universe.
If there is only one cosmic gem, the creature will probably stare at it and even become greedy to acquire it after coming out of its stupor but seeing three of them at the same time took away the willpower of Jinn.
But, now, it felt like it has fallen into a trap. And the Reaper made it feel like it would be erased from existence if it tries to attack.
As the Jinn stayed on the spot like a statue, wondering how to escape this place, the Reaper opened his mouth. "Since you have already been freed from your prison and I have no intention of letting you run wild, you have but three options to choose from.
One, I will bind your soul to my host's soul. You will voluntarily serve him until the day he dies. In this situation, you will be free to enter the material world without needing any price.
Two, I will turn you into an Arcana spirit. In this case, you will be freed when your master enters the god realm. You will also get your own home to live in this place. But, you aren't free to move as you wish.
And if you don't agree to either of those two, then, the final option is for me to seal your existence for eternity."
The Reaper ended his proposition with a threat while summoning a vase-looking object.
The Jinn shivered for a while as it looked at the object.
"So, what it is going to be?"
***
The next day, at Affea Mansion, Aclein City;
At dawn, Azzy was picked up by Aspen Night (the son of Oakley and the brother of Avia) and another bodyguard of the 7-star realm.
Aspen Night told Oakley to come along but the latter refused his invitation, stating that he doesn't want to make Avia feel uncomfortable by showing his face to her. Not to mention, he wasn't alone now. If Oakley goes with his son, his sister would be lonely.
Since Azzy planned on taking the both of them after his parents return from their training, he too didn't try to convince his grandpa and just left with Aspen.
Through the portal points, they went to Snow city, and from there, they traveled by flying cards to the Helenus mountains in the northeastern part of Freyles nation.
Maybe, the treatment will change once Vesyrn becomes the clan heir but for now, Azzy wasn't treated much special when comparing the time when he was the clan heir.
But then again, all of this didn't hold much importance in Azzy's eyes as he had so many other things to worry about.
Azzy went on his way toward the Crescent clan compound after parting ways with Aspen after entering the clan village.
