Chapter 57: 57: Unsealing the Sands of Time

"Indeed the boy is very naïve…"

It happened almost instantly. Not even a second has passed and the assassin found Azzy behind him. 

"But, don't worry, he'll learn sooner or later. However, you won't be able to live until then to see it."

"Sands of Time, unseal…" As the hourglass turned upside down, the white sand inside didn't just fall from one glass bulb to another. It completely fell onto the ground, escaping the hourglass.

Meanwhile, the assassin was stunned.

"H… How?" Even a teleportation skill leaves behind a trace of shadow for a second during the time of disappearance but here, he saw the boy just vanished into thin air as if he was a mirage.

And even he assumed that was a mirage while the real one is behind him all along, then, how he didn't sense him until now? 

The assassin wasn't also able to comprehend how Azzy, a mere high-rank-4 did that. What's strange here is that the boy was referring to himself as a third person.

It's as if he was talking about someone else. He remembered something that his teacher once said to him.

"Arcana Possession?" His eyes widened in shock and his voice shook as he whispered. "You are indeed a platinum grade beast…"

Platinum grade beasts have the ability called possession which lets them possess their hosts in times of need.

Until now, although he was sure that the black wolf is a platinum grade, he still had a little bit of doubt but now, he confirmed it.

However, he didn't have time to think of that nonsense as his foot was captured by the white sand. He poured soul energy into his legs and tried to escape but he wasn't able to move his legs no matter how much he struggled.

The white sand slowly crept up, covering his thighs, and quickly, it reached the waist. By now, he already lost control over his lower body.

"Please spare me…"

He begged for his life as he felt he was going to die for sure.

"You don't have the right to live…" Azzy's cold voice terrified him. Meanwhile, he felt the Arcana spirit inside him felt unconscious. "Before you die, let me clarify your doubts, so that you can die without confusion.

One, I'm not the black lightning wolf.

Two, the wolf isn't a platinum grade but it's a celestial grade spirit. 

And three…"

Before he finishes his sentences, the white sand completely covered the assassin's body.

"Return." The sands quickly flew back to the hourglass, leaving behind nothing. There was no trace of the assassin left. 

The Reaper then sealed the sands again and spoke in the air, "The justice has been served. May your spirits rest." His voice echoed around the world, although no living person heard it.

Meanwhile, some of the vengeful spirits who are roaming on the planet suddenly disappeared.

They are the victims of the assassin who weren't able to ascend to the spirit world because of their desire for vengeance. However, as they don't remember their past, they just roam around the planet, spreading dark energy.

They corrupt people's minds, especially, mortals and make them commit sins. But, now, some of them were put to rest.

Looking at the remaining ones, he sighed, "The death god isn't managing his underlings properly. Well. it won't be long anyway…"

Azzy who was possessed by the Reaper walked away.

Reaching the same spot, the Reaper returned to the mindscape, leaving Azzy at the same spot he possessed him.

Azzy halted his steps.

He looked around in confusion. The assassin was nowhere to be seen. Because of the dim light, he failed to spot the six-star card on the ground.

In his eyes, everything was the same as before. Even his soul power remained unchanged. He mumbled, "why do I feel like I lost consciousness for a few seconds?"

The Reaper was silent.

"Maybe, I'm too tired." Shaking his head, Azzy started walking. Since the assassins have nothing to do with the abduction of Avia and the disappearance of the other two, he thought his Master might help.

But, he didn't know his address either.

So, Azzy decided to stay at the Mansion for the night and if they still don't return by morning, he will go to the school and ask his help.

Defeating a mid-rank-6 easily also gave him the courage to face the other assassin if she tries to ambush him.

On the way, he also complained about Reaper how he almost made him believe that he needs to go all-out to face the assassin.

Forget about fighting with everything he has, he didn't even get the chance to show half of his skills…

The Reaper frowned, sensing a little bit of arrogance in Azzy. He mumbled to himself, 'no, this isn't good. He needs a rival who can battle him equally or else, Azrael will move far away from his destiny.'

The next day, at the downstairs Hall in the Mansion, Azzy was seen sleeping on the sofa.

After having dinner, he waited for them all night but wasn't able to stay awake. 

He felt someone nudged him, trying to wake him up. "Azrael… Azrael… Wake up"

Azzy suddenly opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep. 

He raised his head only to see nothing. There was no one around. "They didn't return?"

At first, he got worried but then, remembered that he hasn't influenced the timeline enough for the history to change.

So, he realized that the kidnap has nothing to with his actions and it's likely that this event happened in the past according to his timeline too.

After all, Avia grew up to a rank-7 in the next twenty years and his grandpa's wife will also stay alive for sure at least for the next 10 years.

When he realized the truth, instead of being relieved, Azzy became more stressed.

He wondered whether it is okay to report to his Master.

What if his Master's intervention will change their history and Affea will face the crisis earlier. Not to mention, Aspen still hasn't been born yet. Will he disappear from the timeline forever?

Such thoughts caused him a headache.

"Argh…" Grabbing his hair, Azzy looked down, trying to make a decision.

And just like every time, the Reaper gave him a piece of simple advice, "follow your heart, Azrael. Do what you think is right…"
