My Soul card is a Reaper

"Vajra, release your aura and drag the beast out of its hidden state." Choosing the second option, Azzy ordered the black wolf.

*Grrr*

Growling towards the lava that settled at the bottom of the volcano, the wolf released its aura to provoke the monster to battle.

All of a sudden, the surroundings became chaotic.

The beasts that are resting in the lava, the beasts that are battling some experts sensed its presence and started to run away towards the forest.

None of them were willing to stay in a ten km radius around Azzy and his beast.

Looking at such a scene, the adventurers wondered whether the Volcanus king woke up from its sleep.

It is known that whenever this platinum-grade beast woke up, a volcanic eruption takes place.

As monsters, naturally, they can sense natural disasters better than humans. So, everyone started to leave, right away. Even Gideon and Lark were no exceptions either.

As for the four students who are still at rank-3, they were saved by the teachers and escorted away.

Meanwhile, the beast that was resting in the magma, at the bottom of the volcano, felt its aura and started to dive further deep to escape for its life.

Azzy was taken aback as he sensed what's happening around him. "What's happening? Did Vajra scare them away?"

Only did then the Reaper remembered the most important thing and let out a deep sigh, 'I forgot the child neither know how to control his strength nor suppress his Arcana…'

"My mistake, Azrael." The Reaper apologized, "I forgot that you hadn't completed the Decarune sealing yet. I should have warned you about the suppression of celestial grade beast's aura on lower grade beasts."

The Reaper then ordered the wolf to retract its aura. Everything became calm quickly. The beasts no longer felt that terrifying aura.

"Eh?" The Reaper's response surprised him further. "Celestial grade?"

He never heard of such a grade.

Azzy then remembered the Reaper mentioned him once about how the black lightning wolf is on another level compared to platinum grade beasts.

The boy thought it was only a top-tier beast. However, like others, he was also mistaken about its grade.

It seems it wasn't a platinum grade but a celestial-grade spirit.

He wondered whether it comes after the platinum grade.

Azzy then asked, "How many grades are there, Chronos? What is the highest grade of an Arcana spirit?"

The Reaper answered, "In your textbooks, Arcana spirits from White, then goes on to, Red, Blue, Silver, Purple, Gold, and ends with Platinum grade. You also learned that a beast that goes under mutation two times will change its grade."

"Like the Galarian beast," Azzy commented.

"Then, ever wondered what would happen if a platinum grade spirit double mutates?" The Reaper asked.

"Eh?" Azzy only thought it now. 'That's right… There's no rule that Platinum grade spirit cannot mutate two times…'

He then remembered something that the Reaper told him about the origins of Vajra.

"Does that mean, due to the corruption of Protos energy, Vajra double mutated and became a celestial grade spirit?" Azzy asked him.

"No." The Reaper replied that his conjecture was wrong. "Vajra was born as the celestial grade lightning spirit and mutated into a black lightning ball. If it mutates again, it will step into the next grade."

"There's one more above Celestial grade?" Azzy was shocked to hear it.

The platinum grade itself scares many people. And now, he learned that there are even two higher grades above.

"Yes… Above platinum grade, there's Celestial grade. After that, comes the Divine grade, which is the final stage. When a spirit reaches such a grade, in its next life, it will reborn at the Celestial world where the immortals reside."

Azzy was stunned as he continued to listen.

After all, it was unbelievable to hear such a grade even exists. According to Azzy, Gold grades are being treated as a genius. And people with platinum grade… no need to mention about them. They are obviously stars wherever they are.

However, now he heard that his black wolf not only is of celestial grade, and if it mutates just one more time, it will even reach divine grade? Just how crazy is that…

So, he asked the Reaper whether there's any existence of the beast in the past that was able to become a Divine grade.

In response to his question, the Reaper answered with a Yes but when asked about it, he didn't say the name and just told him that he wasn't ready for it.

As someone who trusted him a lot, Azzy didn't probe it further and concentrated on the lava below him.

Using aura sensing, he only found out that the beast has already escaped his 5 km range.

Having no other choice, Azzy turned around to walk away.

Right then, the Reaper's voice once again sounded in his head. "There are no people around you, right now. You can take advantage of the situation and attack the lava to drag it out as long as you dispel the wolf."

"But, it was already out of my sensing range. How would I even able to attack it?" Azzy asked him.

If the attack won't even reach it, it wouldn't make sense that it would come out, right?

In response, the Reaper chuckled, "did you forget your strongest weapon, the hourglass?"

"You mean Chrono Rewind?" As soon as the Reaper brought up the usage of the hourglass, Azzy immediately realized what he was supposed to do it.

It was one of the soul skills that will let him rewind the time of a target. Upon turning back their time, they will revert to the state and appear at the place where they were supposed to be, at that particular point in time.

However, the only issue that's bothering him is the control. What if he rewinds its time more than necessary?

The Reaper who understood his thoughts said, "You don't need to worry about that. In your current state, the most you turn back the time is around 1 week. So, even if the Volcanus King went on a rampage that day, it would still be nearby. You can catch it up either way."
