My Soul card is a Reaper

From the moment Prince Vann summoned his gold dragon, Leo felt like he will be able to tear down those limits of his soul orb once he consumes the gold dragon\'s core, which means, eating Prince Vann.

He also felt the same towards the black wolf but he knew that he will die the moment he tries to kill the boy. So, Leo targeted Vann, instead.

However, there\'s also a huge issue with this prince of Hildegard.

One is that he\'s a mid-rank-6. So, he won\'t go down without a fight.

The second is that his Arcana spirit is a giant dragon. So, it\'s easy to cause a commotion.

And finally, he\'s the crown prince of his kingdom. Meaning, it\'s hard for Leo to battle Vann alone without any audience.

For him to reach his goal without getting caught, Leo needs to solve the above three issues.

Luckily for him, the first two issues were solved on their own. Neither Vann is conscious to put up a fight against him nor the dragon\'s physical body is alive to cause a commotion. The only thing that he needed is to isolate Vann from everyone.

And he immediately acted without wasting time. He immediately volunteered to take him to the infirmary giving an excuse that it is his duty as the student council president of the academy and the fifth prince of the nation.

Leah was the only one who frowned at his statement. She clearly didn\'t want any human in this platinum-grade beast\'s hands. However, she can\'t anything about it because the representative instructor gave his permission.

She neither belongs to the host nor she belongs to Moon Academy. Moreover, she didn\'t even know Vann personally. So, she was forced to keep silent and then, turned her attention to Azzy.

Now that she saw Azzy\'s prowess with her own eyes, Leah wanted to recruit him even if he had nothing to do with her destiny.

Meanwhile, with his plan successful, Leo brought Vann to the infirmary. As the timings are over, only one nurse is present at the infirmary and Leo simply informed her that Vann needs to rest for a while.

With his reputation in the academy, Leo fooled the nurse and finally, attacked Vann who is in a vulnerable state.

"You…" The blood trickled from Vann\'s mouth as he opened his eyes. His eyes widened in shock, finding the most unexpected person ambushing him at such a moment. It turned out to be Leonard Light…

"Why…" It was all Vann could speak from his mouth before Leo pulls out his heart by force. "Sorry but, I need to live too…"

After killing Vann, Leo wiped the blood from his hands, and then, stored his body into the storage card.

While the whole academy started to talk about Azzy and at the same time, fellow competitors diss Prince Vann for overestimating himself and losing his prestige in the process, Leo casually left the academy in front of everyone\'s eyes.

After an hour of walking, he stopped and looked around.

Making sure no one is spying on him, Leo started to run at his maximum speed. Within no time, he reached the outskirts of the city where there\'s no rank-7 and above Arcana masters in the surrounding three-mile radius.

Leo then proceeded to go into a dark alley with no people around and finally took out the dead body of Prince Vann before he assumed his original form.

As soon as he appeared in his original form of Galarian beast, it immediately triggered the senses of rank-7 and above experts in the city.

They were able to sense the presence of a beast somewhere nearby the city.

Thousands of miles away, a frail-looking old woman is wobbling in the streets with a gourd in her hand, dressed like a commoner. She seemed very drunk.

However, right then, she suddenly stopped in her steps and looked in the direction where Aclein city is located. A frown appeared on her face, "A wild beast snuck into the human world?"

At the same time, inside the Principal\'s office of Aclein academy, Principal Barton was rejecting the offers from the instructors. "Sorry but, I will only think about it after he graduated from the academy. So, all of you must wait at least 2 years. This is also the decision of my student. Now if you…"

Suddenly, all of them felt the presence of a beast outskirts of the city. Barton immediately stood up on his feet, "gentlemen, I think you already sensed it. I don\'t know how it happened but I\'m leaving, right now."

Meanwhile, in the city outskirts, the Galarian King opened its mouth widely and swallowed Prince Vann\'s entire body in one bite as it was intelligent enough to figure out that humans will be able to spot him if it wastes any time.

So, it didn\'t bother to taste such a fine delicacy in front of him.

As soon as it swallowed him, Vann\'s body was rapidly digested. Meanwhile, the gold dragon\'s core dissolved in the stomach of Galarian King.

Suddenly, the Galarian King felt a surge of power inside it. the core/soul orb within its body began to expand and become denser.

At the same time, it also felt an abundant amount of knowledge passed down to his brain. it not only contains the memories of Vann but also the soul skills knowledge of the gold dragon. An imprint of the gold dragon also appeared on its soul orb.

The Galarian King grew gold dragon wings and horns. Gold dragon scales also appeared on its skin.

"Yes..." The Galarian King clenched its fist in excitement. At the moment, it not only knew that it mutated once again to become a Celestial grade beast but it also broke through the limits of rank-4. It was now a high-rank-5 beast capable enough to wipe out rank-7 experts.

Just then, it sensed a rank-8 human is approaching and just two miles away and a couple of rank-7s is a mile away.

The Galarian King then transformed into the deceased Prince Vann and stayed there until the arrival of Barton who reached there first.

"Prince Vann, what are you doing here?" He asked in surprise. Just a minute ago, he felt the presence of the beast disappeared.

Vann replied with a serious tone, "I was strolling around and sensed the presence of a beast. When I arrive here while suppressing my aura, I saw a beast was eating a human. It transformed into Prince Leonard Light before teleporting away. Mr. Everglade, what\'s going on?"

The Galarian King acted as if it was the victim and in return, put the blame on the Principal instead. It even intentionally revealed that Leo was a disguise of the beast all along to remove any amount of suspicions towards it.

And now that it\'s a celestial grade beast, with the memories acquired from Vann, it realized that only a peak-rank-9 Arcana master can detect him.

So, it intended not to return to Hildegard where a peak-rank-9 is staying.

"Leonard Light?" Just like Vann expected, Barton\'s face frowned in realization. He connected all the dots of how Leo never used his Arcana spirit and is always rank-4.

Suddenly, something clicked in his mind and Barton immediately grabbed Vann, "Your soul power should be at mid-rank-6. Why is it now peak-rank-5? Prince Vann, I apologize for my actions but prove your Identity."

The Galarian King who longed prepared for such question, let out a smile and said, "relax, Mr. Everglade, I\'m indeed Vann Hildegard. That was just a technique to let me improve my soul power by two levels for a certain time. Let me show you something."

Raising his hand, he spoke, "come out, Delphina."

Instantly, the familiar-looking Gold dragon was summoned in front of Barton.

It was actually a part of its soul that was transformed into a fake Arcana spirit due to the gold dragon\'s imprint.

"Now, will you remove your hands?" He once again turned serious, indicating his stature as a royal prince.

Barton apologized and moved away. In the meantime, a few rank-7s arrived at the location. Vann explained the same to others.

Everyone was alerted upon hearing that the Prince of the nation has been dead and was replaced by a platinum grade Galarian beast.

<strong>Meanwhile, at the kingdom of Hildegard;</strong>

An old man was in a deep meditation while floating in the air at some remote temple.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, "My imprint on Vann is gone?" As he traced down the location, he narrowed his eyes, "Aclein city?"
