As the Jewel of Fire was slowly rging with Leah's soul orb, she went into a deep state of ditation, and the soul card was seen revolving around her body.
anwhile, her soul power rose rapidly.
Within no ti, 1 billion SP on her soul card changed to 2 billion, then, 3 billion, and eventually, reaching 9.9 billion.
However, it didn't seem like it wasn't slowing down at any ti.
Her Soul power pushes past through 10 billion in number, making her breakthrough to the legendary demigod realm just like that and it continued to increase until it reached 70 billion before it finally stopped as the Jewel of Fire was successfully integrated with her soul orb.
At the sa ti, her mind also experienced Azzy's mories she automatically received because of their earlier soul fusion technique.
While she understood Azzy and Claire truly loved each other, she still couldn't understand why their bond was so strong when they only dated, for like a year. This agitated her even more, which only caused her soul energy to go unstable for a mont.
In the anti, Azzy also received the mories of Leah. Her struggle and the pain, she felt to fulfill the expectations of her family, the burden to carry the responsibility of Calot's future, and the unrequited love. Azzy saw everything.
He couldn't help but feel bad for her as he could not reciprocate her feelings.
As it disturbed his mind, Azzy decided to put those things away and shifted his focus to exploring the knowledge of lightning manipulation.
In the anti, Jupiter's essence was slowly being integrated with Azzy's sage core.
The Reaper was overseeing the process and it was incredibly slow as unlike Thanatos, who only gave a speck of his essence for just tracking purposes, Jupiter's essence was wholeso. It was as if Azzy was inheriting everything that Jupiter owned, like mories, knowledge of techniques, lightning manipulation, and even secrets to the universe.
Unfortunately, this true essence doesn't have any soul energy. Hence, his soul power remained unchanged.
Ti passed away slowly.
A day turned into two, two into three, and three days eventually turned into five days; Leah was still ditating on the ground, at the sa location as before, and Azzy took this ti to explore his new abilities while making sure to protect his partner.
anwhile, Louis, who also defeated Faunus a while ago, was doing the sa at his clan village. Elias stayed there as a guest and was in the process of improving his language prowess.
On the morning of Day 6, Azzy was busy practicing that lightning bolt weapon technique he witnessed a while ago, but instead with soul energy.
The Reaper is guiding him naturally.
He first took out his soul energy and compressed it into his palm. He then added his Protos-empowered-lightning elent to it and then proceeded with transforming its shape.
The Lightning bolt was ford successfully but it was bigger than himself. Hence, Azzy had to focus on compressing it while maintaining its shape. His veins all popped up and his facial expression indicated that he was struggling to compress it further.
It was at that mont the Reaper suddenly spoke shocking words in his mind and the energy compressed inside the lightning bolt went out of control.
Azzy's eyes widened and his body involuntarily rushed forward. His legs were enveloped by sparks of lightning as he tried to beat the explosion that would expand to atleast a kiloter in radius.
Unfortunately, the explosion of lightning fused energy was faster. He saw a vulnerable Leah was about to be struck by the lightning energy.
*Boom*
In almost an instant, everything in a 1 km radius was flattened completely.
"Leah…" He couldn't help but scream her na.
"Soul skill: Eyes of God"
Azzy readily activated his God's Eyes to look through the dust, checking upon Leah. He saw a sword revolving around her. A mont later, her silhouette slowly rose, making him put a brake to his feet and let out a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness, she looks fine. I guess it is Excalibur's 'nullifying' soul skill."
Due to the dust enveloping the region, he flew high. Leah followed suit, eting him in the sky.
"Sorry, it was a mistake on my part. By the way, congratulations on your breakthrough, but, I got to go…" Azzy looked relieved but at the sa ti in a hurry too.
He didn't wait a second for her response and turned away. Enveloping himself with sparks of black lightning, Azzy flew toward the northeast at his maximum speed, disappearing from her sight in an instant.
Leah let out a smile in response and shook her head as she mumbled, "I sensed her too, Azrael. And as always, I will be there to help you."
As she raised her hand, an envelope appeared and she whispered, "Louis, co here this instant. It's an ergency."
A couple of hours later, Azzy reached a snowy desert, to find an intense battle going between a blonde-haired woman with angelic wings and a man with insect-type wings alongside a twelve-legged giant spider-looking creature, having the strength of a demigod.
Other than both of them, there was soone else. The robust figure, standing tall with almost perfect features of a man, also had eyes that looked very pure and innocent. Even with a simple glance from far away, Azzy felt a disturbance in his heart, as if he felt envious of this stranger's features.
However, Azzy didn't have ti to focus on soone else. His attention was swiftly returned to the blonde-haired Angel and soon, his vision went slightly blurry as tears filled up in his eyes. However, he didn't go ahead and interrupted the battle and watched it from the ground, far away.
Back to the battle, the woman was using her broadsword to fight against the creature while her divine pillars kept Beelzebub busy.
Had the battle been in outer space, it would be one-sided but the true demon of God's realm has his strength suppressed to the demigod realm due to mortal world laws. Not to ntion the suppression of divine energy on demonic beings like him.
As a result, he couldn't gain an advantage over his opponent.
As he was wondering how to deal with the situation, he suddenly sensed the presence of a mortal standing on the ground, a couple of kiloters away. A mysterious grin appeared on his face as he took a glance at the other spectator floating nearby.
Stretching his hands away, Beelzebub created a transparent glass-type barrier around himself, which blocked the divine pillars once and cracked.
The woman, slashing another leg of the spider, glanced to the right and spotted the glass barrier. She mumbled, "More power, Agatha."
The broadsword in her hands glowed for a mont before the five divine pillars glowed and thrust at the barrier once again. The cracks filled all over the barrier. "Again."
The third strike of the five pillars successfully destroyed the barrier, only for the woman to realize that the demon wasn't inside at all.
She looked around and activated her senses but failed to find him at first. It was then she heard the charming man let out a sigh and say, "We can't expect honor from a demon, after all. Girl, enhance your range to 5000 cubits."
Cubit is the unit of asurent of the Angels, with each cubit roughly around 48.5cm.
As the woman understood the task and enhanced her senses, she found Beelzebub standing behind a mortal.
She flapped her wings and flew to the location, only to find Azzy was seen standing beside Beelzebub, but he seed to be in a trance.
"Rael? What is he doing here?"
At once, her eyes flickered and her lips shivered.
