My Soul card is a Reaper

Chapter 591 Raydon and Serestia (part-1)

Upon entering the pocket world, all the students are randomly scattered all over the wild zone.

Some ended up in groups, and some ended up alone. Some have a great amount of luck that they ended up in safe zones while some have high bad luck that they had to appear right in the middle of a bunch of undead beasts.

Two of those teenagers who faced bad luck were Raydon and Serestia. In fact, they might have the worst of luck, if seen through the lens of the secret guardians.

Both of them ended up together in the monster zone where rank-5 undead beasts roam. Adding on top of that, it is an open field of barren land with nowhere to hide.

"F**k that bastard" "Eek…"

Raydon and Serestia were quite surprised as they realized their situation. 

Usually, the soul realm of Azzy's undead beasts cannot be sensed due to the fact that they were merely skeletons. But, the bosses of the monster zones were quite special.

They retained their core due to the Reaper's special technique of merging their spirit core that was behind after their death with their skeleton in Azzy's mindscape.

It's just like with Hydra, the skeleton snow wolf, and the rank-8 skeleton spider. Retaining the core will let the others sense their realm. 

Since neither of them was willing to look for an escape, both of them summoned their Arcana to face whatever coming at them.

Until that moment the undead beasts acted as if they didn't see them. But, the moment Arcana spirits were out, the rank-4 and rank-5 beasts rushed at them. Combined, they were about 30 in number. 

"Take the altitude and attack from above. I will take care here." Raydon quickly formulated a battle strategy. 

However, he doesn't have a great relationship with Serestia and the latter has no intentions of teaming up with him, much less acting as a support.

Ignoring his instructions, she rushed forward. 

"Damn it," Raydon was slightly frustrated a little bit, but he followed her instead of taking care of the beasts around him.

Seeing that the boss wasn't moving, Serestia sat on a rock and concentrated on recovering her soul energy. She wants to be at her peak when facing a boss like that.

Shimmerwood tortoise is something well known to her. Even though it is in an undead state, she is still recognized by its four eyes.

The monster is a rank-6 of gold grade. It is an earth-type beast that has a high defense. Unless you have attacks with an armor penetration effect or you have far higher strength, it is difficult to beat this boss.

However, luckily for them, the boss is an undead with nothing but a skeleton. Even if it tries to hide in its shell, they can still attack it through the gaps, although from the front. Its huge size and slow speed are another advantage for Raydon and Serestia.

Serestia was meditating, Raydon was staring at her and he was lost in his thoughts.

This silence went on for 15 minutes, but Serestia couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in frustration as she broke out of her meditation. "What is it?" She asked as she turned toward him.

Raydon shook his head, "Nothing."

"Then, why do you keep staring at me?" Serestia looked quite annoyed. She further added, "Go and kill the monster if you want to. Or just leave the zone. No need to stick with me."

Raydon replied, "I was just wondering. Whether it is luck or not, you are talented enough to release the attribute energy. You must have great potential. Why did your mother arrange your marriage with him? It's not like he is intelligent, wealthy, or has high potential. Not to mention, you are neither born in some 7th Epoch nor the ruling royal family."

"Hmm? Why do you have a sudden interest in my personal life?" Serestia continued to speak in a rude manner, not intending to forgive him.

However, Raydon showed patience, unlike his usual self, replying to her that he was merely passing the time and she wouldn't need to bother herself to answer him.

Upon staring at him for a few seconds in silence, Serestia let out a deep sigh and looked at the false sky, "Nearly four decades ago, during my grandpa's second term as the President, the police arrested Bill's grandparents in a money laundering case. It hurt the company's reputation badly and it went bankrupt. Not being able to pay money to the investors, they committed suicide.

However, a few years ago, it was discovered during an investigation of another case that they were innocent and were framed by their in-laws. A Life for life; that's what Bill's parents asked my mom when she went to their house to apologize and propose compensation. Since she cannot just give away her life, she promised them to marry me to their son and make them our in-laws."

Raydon blinked his eyes twice and asked, "Then, what would you do if Bill was in a secret relationship with someone else?"

"Hmm?"
