My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 30 Power Overload Once Again

'Protos Energy? High Rank-5 Physical strength?' Azzy was shocked to hear the Reaper's statement.

He was scared of how strong he might really be if he were to go all out. He thought he might contend even against Rank-6 Arcana Masters easily.

Most people would be happy with such strength but Azzy was terrified at the moment. He knew how bad his control is. He suddenly grew too strong and didn't know how to deal with it.

The situation might be a blessing in a place like Death Clan that has so many experts but in an academy like this, he was especially scared that he will kill someone accidentally in a spar.

"You said you can help me with controlling my strength, right?" Azzy then turned to the teacher. "How?"

Uphiar came out of his daze and looked at this monster. Immediately, a grin appeared on his face as he stroked the cobra's head. "It's very simple actually. Off you go…"

He used the same soul skill again and this time Azzy was transported to a beautiful place.

There were two waterfalls on the opposite of the cliffs with a rainbow appearing between them.

The lake formed by those waterfalls was calm and still.

Azzy sensed a monster, sleeping on the bed of the lake. "A low rank-4." He mumbled. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

"Yes. It is…" The voice resounded in the surroundings.

"Your task is to engage in a fight but not kill it. Your punches and kicks should contain soul energy. Until you were able to punch with a strength of only rank-2, your training partner will be this beast."

Azzy moved to the lake and stood on the shore but it seemed like the beast didn't sense him yet. So, it continued to sleep.

Closing his eyes, he released his aura, an ability that lets you pressure lower-rank Arcana masters or beasts.

To not scare it away, Azzy retracted his aura after a second.

And just as he expected, a giant snake rose from the lake.

Azzy recognized the beast in one glanced even though he never saw it in person or the picture.

It is because of the unique feature, three heads.

He remembers the old Avia mention that multi-headed snakes are the descendants of the legendary rank-10 beast, Hydra. The higher the rank, the higher the number of their heads.

One of the unique abilities of such a beast is that each head represents an element.

It was also clear to Azzy about it since he can point out which head is which element by the color of the head.

"Red, Green, and Brown. That means, fire, wind, and earth."

The impatient Red-colored head didn't even waste time as soon as it found the prey.

It breathes out a beam of fire towards him.

Azzy's eyes clearly captured their path and he stepped aside to dodge the flames.

He concentrated on pouring down the soul power to his legs.

The soul energy quickly seeped out of the soul orb and hurried to its destination, the two feet.

Once again, more than 2/3rds of the soul power was diminished, boosting the strength of his legs by an unimaginable amount as he jumped dozens of meters high in the air.

The three-headed snake raised its head and glanced at the sky. The green head hissed, implying that it will take charge of this move.

Azzy, who reached the peak, began to fall at an extreme speed, but he wasn't concerned about that and concentrated on using soul power in his fist.

Once again, the remaining soul power was emptied in an instant as he failed to control the amount.

As he can't do anything about it, he decided to punch lightly.

Just then, he felt a powerful wind coming towards him in the form of a tornado. In the eye of the formation lies the three-headed snake with its green head was releasing the skill.

As he was hit by the tornado, Azzy's first thought was, 'it was weak.'

But, then, he realized the might of the skill.

Even though it didn't do the slightest of the damage to Azzy, the latter was still affected by it and now, was no longer falling down directly but was moving in a spiral path along with the wind.

*Hiss* fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

The redhead hissed angrily and breathes out fire into the tornado, forming a fire tornado.

Azzy tried to move his hands and legs but he fails to escape from the fire tornado. His body temperature rose, and his skin started to burn lightly except for his feet and the right arm.

"Ugh…" Azzy groaned in pain for the first time since he arrived at this timeline. He got the urge to summon his Arcana but hold back himself, trying to get out of the situation with force.

Right then, he heard the voice of the Reaper in his head. "Soul energy won't disappear as long as it's your body. Soul orb or some organ, the soul energy will always be alive unless you use it on external things…

Direct the excess soul energy of your feet, back to the soul orb."

"Argh…" he groaned once again as his clothes turned into ash, and his upper body that keeps on getting burned was turning slowly into charcoal.

"Soul orb? How?" Azzy roared inside his head.

"Forget about it. I'll tell you later. For now, redirect them to all the body parts instead.

Just like how concentrated on your fist when you redirect the soul energy, you concentrate on your whole body, now."

Forgetting the pain on the outside, Azzy closed his eyes and concentrated on his right arm and the legs, and located the energy.

He tried to redirect some of it to the other organ. A gush of soul energy from his legs was spread to the heart and lungs.

He once again diverted some of it towards the bones.

Time slowly passed. Azzy no longer felt pain even though he was still moving along with the fire tornado.

As he opened his eyes, he saw his entire upper body until the neck turned to charcoal. Thankfully, his lower body was fine with pants still intact, or else he will be embarrassed to death.

After all, there's someone who was peeking from above, and as someone who was going through puberty, he felt disgusted about that even in his imagination.

The Reaper's voice disrupted his thoughts. "Good, now, you should concentrate on how to expel the soul energy from your body to outside to become free.

Expelling is quite easy. If I should say in human terms, think of how you expel the waste from your body when you have constipation or when a mother gives natural birth to a baby. Just force the energy out…

Remember, it must be at once. Only, then, it will work."

Following his advice, Azzy concentrated on the soul energy that was distributed all over his body. Just like the Reaper said, it is indeed a bit similar to it.

However, the image in Azzy's head was quite different. Since he never had constipation and doesn't know how the other situation feels like either, he imagined himself in his own room surrounded by walls except that there's no door. He then, imagined the walls are shrinking with each second.

The person inside is the soul energy and the walls are the human body.

"Argh…" He roared and let the soul energy that was lingering in his body expel out.

Suddenly, an enormous amount of dark energy was erupted from his body and hit the tornado and all the surroundings.

The three-headed snake shivered for a second as it sensed the mixed energy of Protos and Death.

Then…

Azzy opened his eyes as he felt like he was falling towards the lake but he sensed no soul power inside him.

*Thud*

He fell to the ground and made a small crater.

"Ugh…" Azzy groaned in pain as he stood up. He felt aching all over his body but that's it.

"Eh?" Just as he looked around, he saw the lake disappeared along with the monster. The grass and the trees around him were pitch-black.

"What was that?" Uphiar who was watching it from above felt like his heart shook for a second.
