My Soul card is a Reaper

Aura tracing is a technique derived from Aura Sensing where one can trace the location of the person from the aura left behind at a place.

Azzy had used it a few times in the past like finding Claire or his friends when they were supposed to meet at a place for casual outings.

But, the problem is that the auras of Estella and Gideon were gone. Even in the peak concentration, where he can scan a maximum range of a 100-kilometer radius, he cannot find them. Isn't it why he took the help of Vajra in the first place?

The Reaper understood his thoughts and further said, "The auras of Estella and Gideon are gone. But, not their abductors. You can find their auras in this place, can't you?"

Realization dawned upon Azzy and he started his work, eliminating all the auras that were in the store before 10 o'clock.

Of course, this wasn't an easy task for an inexperienced Azzy.

It took several hours for him to finally single out two auras that also slowly disappeared right after the disappearance of Gideon and Estella.

Along with that, he also found out that the aura of the person behind the desk was also disappeared right then. Either he was also involved in this abduction or he might also be abducted or worse, killed.

Anyway, after that, several different auras entered and exit the store. But, with no owner, the displayed objects have no security. Naturally, the missing items could be explained, although Azzy would be in trouble if the real owner comes in now and frame in for theft.

Fortunately, nothing sort of that happened and Azzy used the teleportation skill card to randomly landed five kilometers away from the place after scanning the entire city with no results.

Azzy ventured into the wild zone that lies in the east of the city.

Roughly about half an hour later, after scanning the east and the western regions to the Moon City, he sensed three of the auras at the same place, somewhere in the jungle, which lies in the north.

"Let's hope my suspicions are right and Gideon is with them." Azzy poured soul energy over his legs and picked up his speed. On the way, he didn't forget to absorb the natural energy and continuously use it to enhance his speed further. Moving at mach 2.8, he was almost as fast as one of the fastest jet aircraft in the world, crushing every tree, rock, or monster in his path.

<strong>Meanwhile, somewhere inside the jungle;</strong>

Gideon was bathing in lightning sparks; somehow they are red in color, which is more powerful than the usual lightning attribute. However, the injuries on him were too high.

Estella motionlessly sat against the tree but tears could be seen dropping down her cheeks. She was arrogant but not a heartless person. How couldn't she be touched by Gideon's action when he was fighting for her when he has the choice to leave her and escape?

She wanted to scream out loud, tell him to save his own life but the words couldn't escape her mouth.

She was helplessly watching Gideon fighting against three rank-6 experts while depending on nothing but lightning attribute power, which looked like he was about to hit the limit.

In a way, Gideon was a little bit lucky as he was in the jungle where huge beasts like the Dragons couldn't enter. Even if they could, they will be restricted by the movements. Of course, the two subordinates never thought of going all out because their young master wanted to capture him alive.

Meanwhile, the defeated Cedar Ravillon was sitting on the ground. He spits out a mouthful of blood and growled, "Brier, Eldwood, restrict his mobility. Cut off his limbs. I just need him breathing."

He then glared at Gideon in hatred, "Once I take you back to the clan, I will torture you so much that you will beg for death."

Gideon let out a heavy laugh, "Good luck, Mr. Whatever your name is. I will neither faint nor will I let you cut off my limbs. To take her away, you will have to kill me. But, it doesn't matter. My friend will avenge me for sure. Before that happens, I will make sure to take one of you with me to the spirit realm."

"Cut him down." Cedar passed an order without caring much about his words.

The two rank-6 experts charged forward once again with soul energies covering their hands. They controlled the soul energy to make energy blades.

Gideon, on the other hand, stood on the spot knowing that he can't waste his energy by making excessive movements.

As the two opponents reached him and thrust the energy blades, Gideon took a step back and ducked to evade their attacks, and threw consecutive punches on the both of their respective abdomens, pushing them back.

"Aren't you ashamed of not being able to defeat a mere rank-5 who cannot even use his soul energy?" Cedar harshly scolded the two of them while he continued to take a rest on the ground.

The two subordinates rolled their eyes as this guy was also a rank-6 but had his ass kicked. Unfortunately, they cannot say anything back to him because of his position. Not to mention, they were also a bit embarrassed for not being able to secure victory.

They charged forward once again.

It was at that moment they sensed something. They instantly jumped back away from Gideon and glanced behind them. Even Cedar could sense it.

"Young master, something is coming." "No, someone is coming in our direction."

There were continuous screams of the monsters in the jungle; there was the destruction of the trees, and they could sense the speed of the incoming human in the legendary realm. How could they not be panicked?

"Probably some elder from the Moon Clan," commented Cedar before giving his next order, "Guys, we are leaving right away. Forget the brat and grab the girl."

He then rose to his feet and charged toward a motionless Estella.

Gideon instantly went to her protection and grabbed her before he did.

"No!" Cedar roared in anger and threw an energy spear at him. Because of the less distance, as soon as Gideon lifted her, the spear pierced his back. It contained the power of peak-rank-6.

"Ack…" Gideon screamed in pain with a huge wound on his back. Maybe, he was really at his limit. The lightning sparks over him disappeared and he suddenly lost strength in his legs, making him collapse to the ground. Estella also fell to the ground.

"Haha, I win," shouted Cedar in happiness and ran forward. Just as he went past Gideon to grab Estella from the ground, Gideon used all of his strength to move his hand and grabbed onto its leg.

Due to the obstruction of movement, Cedar tripped on his feet.

He stopped Cedar's advancement for only a second but it was enough.

"Grab her…" Cedar roared and kicked Gideon in the chest and rose to his feet.

A streak of flash struck him on the back without any warning. Cedar crashed onto several trees one after another before hitting the ground.

The other two subordinates stopped in their tracks and looked at the new person who came just in time.

It was only for a fraction of a second but they saw an hourglass in his hand. Azzy had used it to Time Stop when he was about a few hundred meters away and saved Estella in time.

But, at the moment, they aren't in a situation to care about it as it disappeared already and its owner put his attention on the injured Gideon.

A trace of surprise appeared on Gideon before a pleasant smile appeared on his face, "You are here, Azzy."

He closed his eyes and lost consciousness right away.

Azzy observed Gideon's body and took out a six-star healing card before applying it to him. Gideon was recovered in an instant, although still out of consciousness.

Azzy then shifted his attention to the two men who rooted on the spot with their legs shaking in fear. They wanted to escape but their young master was knocked out, a dozen meters away. What should they do? Should they leave Cedar to his fate and try to escape? Or should they plead for mercy?

Before they made the decision, Azzy opened his mouth while giving them an extremely cold gaze, "I don't care much about Estella but you have crossed my bottom line by harming Gideon. For that, you will face the consequences."
