"So you are the person known as Azrael. I expected something more out of you." The spider queen muttered as she was the frits one to step indie the library.

Behind her was Kira the cursed swordsman and the behind him were the fairy queen and the fairy king. Their expressions were neutral as they glanced at Azrael's experience.

Both of them also agreed with the spider queen's comment. But they didn't like how relaxed she seemed in front of such a powerful person.

"He is what he is. You can't judge a person's power by their appearance or else I would have come off as nothing more than a handsome man." Kira muttered as the other three people in his party sighed.

"He is an annoying person..." The fairy queen muttered as the others agreed with them.

"As annoying as he might be, he is still the most powerful person amongst us. So all of you better shut up." Glindhor muttered as he was the last person to step into the room.

"You dare tell your king and queen to shut up?!" The fairy king roared as Glindhor chuckled.

"You really think that you are the king now? I am more powerful than both you and her combined." Glindhor pointed towards the fairy queen. "If I wanted, I could just defeat both of you in a minute."

"Guys, we can continue this later. Did you forget the reason for us being here?" Kira asked as the fairy king and queen glared at Glindhor before looking at Azrael.

"The one known as Death must be slain and his scythe must be taken from him. Other than that, every person who knows Kai should be kidnapped and held hostage if they are at Azrael's library. That's our mission." Glindhor said as Death's mouth twitched.

'I would have definitely beaten Kai if they were specifically here because of him. But unfortunately, they are here for my scythe. And since I am going to do this anyway, I should protect the other people here too.' Death thought with a sigh.

He then struck the ground with his scythe again and the entire place started to tremble. A black void surrounded everyone at once as Azrael smiled.

"Hasn't anyone told you that you should never fight your opponent in a territory he is extremely familiar with?" He asked with a grin but instead got many grins in return.

"Soulless void. It's a place where any person with a soul would slowly get their soul sucked by the place. We were warned about this ability pf yours." The fairy king replied as Death narrowed his eyes.

'Could it be…' Before he could complete his thought, the soulless void broke down."We also have a lot of tricks up our sleeve." Glindhor loved the expression on Azrael's face when he had seen it break down.

"And here I was thinking that I could defeat you all without destroying my library. Well, fuck it." Death then snapped his fingers as he teleported everyone in the arena, back to the library.

He then teleported every person to the arena as he eyed them carefully. The spider queen, the fairy king, and the fairy queen were standing a good distance away from the two other people.

It was clear as day that they were going to fight him together. Azrael then glanced at the person who Glindhor had said to be the strongest among them.

He was carrying two swords on his back and his expression looked calm and cool. He even had the nerve to smile while standing in front of Death, the literal one.

Turning his gaze away from him, Azrael glanced at the last member of the group who was eyeing him with an irritated expression.

The only noticeable things about him were his race and soul immortality realm cultivation.

'If he is at that realm, why did he say that he is not the strongest person here?' Death couldn't help but think about the words Glindhor had said.

If the person with two swords really was that strong that someone at the soul immortality realm was stating himself to be weak, Azrael didn't know whether he should worry about that or not.

But in the end, all of them were his enemies and he had to fight them alone.

"Fairy king, if you would be kind enough to use your powers, this would be a good time to do it." Kira suddenly said as the fairy king gritted his teeth and raised his right hand.

"Sacred spear Chastifel, fourth form, forest of poison." The fairy king muttered as the entire land suddenly started to change.

A golden spear appeared in front of the fairy king and started changing within a few seconds.

Instead of the plain arena, the place was now covered with trees and purple-colored wines which looked poisonous."If you were thinking of poisoning me, I am happy to tell you that poison doesn't work on me." Azrael suddenly commented as the fairy queen smiled.

'That's not what we are trying to do." She said while raising her right hand.

"Sacred spear Kingstein, fourth form, mist of eternity."

A platinum-colored spear suddenly appeared in front of the fairy queen before it changed its shape and expanded into mist.

The mist was so thick that even Death couldn't see through it. But he still had another way to know where everyone was.

His eyes had a unique ability that allowed him to see the souls of living beings, no matter where they were or what their situation was.

As long as they were alive, he could see their souls.

But this ability was sometimes annoying because he couldn't see objects that didn't have any soul or life in them.

But now that a curtain of mist was blocking his vision he decided to use it.

The moment the ability awakened, he could see the entire forest as well as the people inside it. The spider queen was attached to a tree while being upside down whereas the fairy king and fairy queen were flying in the air alongside Glindhor.

But in the middle of the mist, Azrael was left shocked.

'Thousands and thousands of souls.' He thought silently as Kira held his swords in his hands.magic

A black aura engulfed them which told Azrael the exact numbers of souls the swords were holding. And on close inspection, he could see that at least a million souls were inside the swords.

But another shocking this was that the person himself didn't have a soul.

'The only reason he is living is because the two swords are powering him. Otherwise, he would be lying dead on the ground.' Death took a deep breath as he tightly clutched his scythe.

After all, the two weapons were like each other.

But where Kira's swords were trapping souls, Azrael's scythe only held willing souls which would be later on released.

The reapers were also souls and that was the reason they were able to travel from one place to another. And that was also the reason Azrael could use them as powering material.

'This is going to be a long and tough battle.' He silently thought before stepping forward in the thick mist.
