My Soul card is a Reaper

A while later;

*Swoosh*

A ball of light flew like a flash and crashed onto the walls, falling to the ground. As the flash of light diminished, Gideon's face was filled with bruises, especially his blackened right eye.

"Ugh…"

He was groaning in pain while rolling on the ground left and right, and the immortal bird scoffed at him, "If you think you can be a match of my strength with such power, you can try again after training for ten thousand years."

It then flapped its wings, releasing a gust of wings and throwing Gideon out of its chamber.

Gideon slid on the floor and hit the leg of someone. A familiar sweet voice heard from above, "Babe, you don't give up, do you?"

"Ugh…" Gideon looked above to meet his eyes with the woman's and forced out a smile, "One day, I will definitely receive an acknowledgment from the guardian and receive its blessing."

The woman bent a little and commented as she stretched her hand, "That won't happen anyway. Come, let's go home."

Gideon took her hand but instead of getting up, he pulled her down. She fell upon him and he tightly held her, looking at her with just an inch of gap between their faces, whispering, "I'm feeling low now, Zora. How about a quickie for encouragement?"

"Are you sure?" Zora asked in a bit of surprise. Gideon didn't catch that and gave a kiss to her and replied, "Why not? It's not like there is anyone who would come here at this time."

"I'm a clone though. Haven't you figured it out yet?" Zora responded with a mischievous smile. She touched her lips, "That was a good kiss but I'm not authorized to have s*x with you in my master's absence. So, whatever you want to do will come under s*xual assault. You sure you want to proceed with it?"

Gideon's face was immediately crestfallen and his mood for romance disappeared in an instant. He got up quickly and dusted off his clothes, commenting, "Let's just assume that we didn't talk about this in the first place."

"How though?" The clone gave him a look of innocence, "When I disappear, the memory of our kiss will go back to her though."

*Slam*

Gideon couldn't help but facepalm himself and hung his head, "forget it. That jealous woman will roast my skin today. Let's go."

Gideon and Zora's clone were on their way to the tower's exit, nodding to every disciple who greeted them on the way. They left the tower and were on their way home but the sudden appearance of an energy envelope in front of Gideon's eyes halted his movements.

"It's from tower master."

The message from the Tower master is simple. Come and see him at his chamber urgently. Another message was attached to the message. The description was a bit vague but Gideon's entire body shivered for a second with his eyes widely opened.

Gideon immediately left his lover's clone and rushed back to the tower with his purple lightning sparks dancing all over his body.

In a matter of twenty seconds, he reached the tower master's room on the sixteenth floor and opened the door so powerfully that it was broken.

Nevertheless, Gideon couldn't care less about the damaged door and had his attention entirely on the young man sitting right across the tower master with a coffee mug in his hands.

"Azzy?" His voice shook in nervousness as he called out his friend.

Azzy let out a rare genuine smile and got up, "It looks like you remembered me, bro."

Gideon rushed forward to give his friend a tight hug and looked at his face emotionally, "Bro, you haven't changed much compared to 31 years ago."

"You have changed a lot, I should say," commented Azzy in response. Playfully punching his biceps, Azzy said, "Honestly, I never imagined that you would buff up your body. Speed was your thing you know."

Gideon scratched his head in embarrassment, "It kinda happened. I realized that sword fighting doesn't really suit me. I'm more suited to brute fight."

Azzy then silently stared at him for a few seconds, as if he was lost in thoughts.

Gideon saw it and asked, "What?"

Azzy replied, "You are at the Supreme realm already. Shouldn't you have left the tower to keep up your promise to Estella?"

"Wha… How do you…" Gideon was taken aback by Azzy's reply but then he remembered something and sighed, "Yeah, I forgot about my clone at the clan village. You must have known everything from him."

"So, what happened? Why are you still here?"

Gideon let out a sigh once again, looking at his friend, "We broke up, bro. Two years ago."

"Wha…? Why?" Azzy too shocked at first but then he remembered something important and he asked, "Did she break up on her own or something?" Exclusive tales from m v lem|p-yr

"Hmm?" Gideon was once again surprised. "She did it. How do you know?"

Azzy could only let out a sigh, "No wonder. It's the Moon Clan that's behind it."

"Moon Clan?"

"A couple of days ago, we got a proposal from the Moon Clan, a marriage proposal for my father. And the bride is…"

"Estella?" Gideon took a step back in surprise.

Azzy explained, "I believe the Moon Clan has been forcing her to take this step for a while. If not for this situation, I would have still waited for you to finish your goal of reaching the supreme realm and leave this place. But, thank goodness that it happened while I was still here.

Or else, who knows what would have happened." After a brief pause, Azzy patted the shoulder of Gideon who collapsed on the nearby seat in shock, "Look, you got to talk to her and resolve your misunderstanding."

"I…" "I…" "I thought we broke for truth as she told me that she moved on. So, I said yes to Zora a couple of months later to forget her, and we are now… damn it… I should have pursued the matter."

"Uhh… Zora? That Zora?" Azzy knew one Zora who was recruited into the Tower of Abel. He was friendly with her and didn't have any hard feelings for her. It's just that he never imagined Gideon and her together. At once, the situation became awkward for him, making Azzy whether he really made a bad choice or something.

"Uhh… So, Gideon, you are in a relationship with Elder Zora just to forget your old love? My successor, You have really done it this time." The Tower Master's words echoed in Gideon's ears, making his face paler.
