"I will ask you a question and you will answer it. In return, you can ask me a question and you would answer me. We will each ask three questions and have to answer them truthfully. Understood?" Azrael asked as the woman nodded.

"Then I will begin. What is your name?" Azrael asked as the woman snorted.

"You are wasting your one out of the three precious questions to know my name? Very well, my name is Eira." The woman replied as Death nodded.

"My turn. What were those white balls of light from earlier?" Eira asked with a curious expression.

"Those white balls of light were souls." Death answered as the woman blinked in confusion.

"Are you telling the truth?" She asked with narrowed eyes as Death smiled.

"Yes, I am telling the truth. You have asked me your second question." He replied as Eira gritted her teeth.

Even though she wanted to deny it, it was technically a question that she had asked the 20-ish man in front of her.

"You sly bastard." She said through gritted teeth as Azrael shrugged.

"You should have thought about it more carefully." He replied before proceeding to ask his second question.

"Are you an assassin?" He asked as the woman narrowed her eyes as she realized that the man in front of her was asking very cunning questions.

If she said yes, then he might be able to figure out who she was and if she said no, he would investigate about her since he knew how she looked. And if she hesitated to answer, he would still investigate about her.The only way by which she could protect her identity as if she killed the man but if what he had been saying was the truth, then he might be able to extract her soul. So she instead decided to use her last question to gain some more information.

"Yes, I am an assassin. My last question is that you tell me everything about this scythe that you are holding." Eira replied as she pointed at the scythe in Death's hands.

"This scythe has the power to collect the souls left behind by dead creatures and any living being who is touched by this scythe will die. So if my touch doesn't kill a person, this scythe definitely will. Currently, that's all I know about this scythe." Azrael replied as Eira stared at the scythe in disbelief.

"I feel as though you are lying." She said as Azrael shrugged and looked at the nearest tree.

"If you don't believe me, then here is the proof." He replied and walked towards the tree as he raised his scythe and touched the tree's trunk with it.

The tree suddenly started to dry as its branches and leaves dried. The entire dree then suddenly started to crack as it started coming apart. Eira's eyes widened as the entire tree broke apart in front of her eyes.

"Is that a good enough proof?" Azrael asked as Eira nodded.

"Then I will ask my third question. Are you a member of any particular assassination sect or are you an assassin who works alone without any sect or organization backing you up?" Azrael asked with an interested expression.

"I am a member of an assassination sect." Eira answered as Azrael nodded.

"Can you bring me to your sect? I want to become an assassin too." Azrael said a second later as Eira frowned.

"With such god-level powers, you still want to be an assassin?" Eira asked as Azrael smirked.

"Says the girl who can free people with just her touch." He replied as Eira smiled."I guess that's true as well. Why do you want to be an assassin?" She asked with an interested expression as she wanted to know the man's reason for becoming an assassin.

"Being an overpowered person doesn't actually pay you know. Though I can pressure anyone into handing stuff to me for free, that wouldn't feel too good." Azrael answered as Eira was surprised by his answer.

"I guess that's a pretty fair point. I will take you to the assassin sect with me but what happens after that depends on how you perform and behave. The sect elders will explain everything to you so let's just go there." Eira said as she rose in the air and started flying towards the east direction.

'So she is at the 1st stage of the spiritual soul realm.' Azrael noticed as he flew behind Eira.

"By the way, my name is Azrael." He said as Eira giggled a little before going back into her professional half emotionless form.

"Who names a person Azrael?" She asked in a half-serious tone as Azrael shrugged.

"Who knows what my parents think, I have neve3r really met them so meh." He replied as Eira suddenly go serious.

"Oh, you have never met your parents." Eira said in a sad tone as Azrael looked surprised.

"Any past life trauma you would want to share with me?" He asked as she shook her head with a small smile.

"You think that I will tell about my life top a person who I have barely known for an hour?" Eira asked as Azrael shrugged.

"In the novels, usually asking a female about her past and consoling her makes the heroine fall in love with you. I thought that it was the best pickup line out there." He replied as Eira controlled another giggle.

"Anyways, here we are at the sect." Eira suddenly said with seriousness as she pointed at a city in distance. They landed outside the city before walking up to a supermarket.

"You are telling me that an assassination sect with hundreds of assassins for hire actually operates from a supermarket?" Death asked with narrowed eyes as Eira nodded.

"We need funds to buy things you know. Sometimes we have to stop assassination activities to get away from the royal family's radar but we are mostly safe anyways." She replied as Azrael raised his eyebrows.

"It feels great to know that we are mostly safe." Azrael muttered as Eira smiled.

"Follow me." She said as the two figures entered the supermarket.
