Claria glared at Ridus, she knew it was a bad thing to leave her sister to this idiot to look after her. First of all his world is seen in black and white they weren't getting anywhere if they left her with him.
"Where's sister." (Claira)
"15th hell circle, she hates being down there the most." (Ridus)
"Correction she used to hate there, yet she went there. There must be more than that." (Claria)
--- Izumi back at the trial grounds ----
"(pants) That's the (pant) last of the 13 trials. I swear if I see another warped soul reaper that looks like a pretty boy or girl with rank A threat I'm going to kill any of them on sight." (Izumi)
The last trial was fighting against soul reapers. And they were all A ranked she could barely even breath because though they were soul reapers in this world and many others rank A soul reapers eat people alive along with their soul to maintain their youthful appearance and peak condition bodies. She was ok if it was S rank since she'd be able to breathe at least but she cursed when the trial grounds let loose A ranks. S rank soul reapers keep a tight leash on souls and balance the world itself.
"Those things were too close for comfort. Ugh they always go for the guts and stomach. I'm just glad I had regeneration when they took a arm or so. I had to kick them off. Even the vampires didn't go that far. That was scary as hell. My arms still have goosebumps from it. Ah if I get back I'm staying away from any pretty boy or beautiful girls for a while. Seriously it was even confusing since they looked humans. If not for that stupid floating message in the sky warning me the start of the 13th trial had unleashed those things I swear I'm going to probably flip by then."
Izumi threw away her half eaten arm and regenerated a new arm. She was nearly thrown off when the little girl came up to her and said hi before lunging herself at Izumi. It made her cringe as she picked up her wakizashi. Her left hand tightly gripped her kantana. Instead she fell to the ground as her weapon was recalled into her storage.
She let out a scream as she felt her body change, her bones were reconstructing herself as her race was changing to that of a devil. In place of her angel wings two dragon like wings grew. Her hand clawed at the black sand as she felt her hand changing into claws. There were three type of devils: those that look like a dragon demihuman with human features but instead had horns and a third eye in the forehead, then there was those that looked like a succubus, and lastly those that looked like a ordinary human but had only a tail. Izumi was changing to the first one co her whole body was changing at a very high rate that was consuming her energy.
What she didn't know about devils were that they needed bloods kinda like vampires but there's a difference they eat souls and blood. Her hair changed from a grey color to amethyst color. Both her eyes changed to a green color. She tried to open her eyes but it stinged. (She was seeing too much at once so she had to close her eyes again plus her body was still reforming.) The sides of her arms and legs were scales forming. Horns were forming on her head, she couldn't bear it and fainted.
Devils often killed without being conflicted since it was done as to quench their hunger. If ignored too long, the devil will go insane. Or they could kill and use the souls as meals. It was inherited in their memories with gen skills from their lineages.
Soul reapers lower than rank A were normal individuals that died from accidental deaths indirectly by someone or directly. They as individuals had no clue as what led to their deaths thus have to live as soul reapers to help manage the worlds they live in or the planets they were on. As Izumi mentioned they have ranks among themselves and rank S and Rank SS fights against ranks A to keep the world in balance.
(Ranks: SSS < SS < A < B < C< D < E < F < G. But soul reapers skip ranks G > E, F > D, E > C, D > B, C > A, B > S, except A ranks stays the same and S can turn to SS.)
Soul reapers can be considered a different race or they can be considered a class. Depending on who the person is. These soul reapers can also reincarnate lost souls or spirits. They help manage the souls in the cycle of reincarnation the only one that doesn't apply to that rule is the Rank A's that love to eat souls while tormenting their victims while eating them alive and aware. Those souls eaten don't get a chance at reincarnation. Even a normal child in Aries their world know this for it's common sense to learn of sense avoiding rank A soul reapers is a must.

Rank A also play a bit with necromancy to taint and corrupt a soul so it turns into a monster after they eat the body. Once the soul is corrupted they let it loose in society to go crazy then eats the soul that doesn't have a clue it's dead. They're the worst that you don't want to meet.
A ranks can be found in a forest clearing at nights eating people. So most people avoid clearings in the forest at night unless they're confident of fighting against one. As she and the Phoenixes grew up it's often used to tell stories to scare children to not run off into the forest or be weary when you meet a soul reaper. Sure there were death gods too helping manage worlds but they themselves avoided rank A's. Even normal people (humans) knew better since they themselves were the one that spread information.
Disaster class if you must label them. Normally you wouldn't want to meet one. Seeing one in a trial is already considered having bad luck. Seeing a army of millions (which in the case of the mc) is considered like a curse luck where you meet them isn't possible. Because they only gather in groups of tens. Seeing more than that is asking for opposing individuals to kill each other on the spot. If your luck is good those individuals that hate each other will kill themselves. The worst news is who ends killing you. Outrunning them is the worst plan cause they can out run you. Flying away will just have them teleporting to you. Since they'd track you down by soul.
So Izumi had no choice but to slaughter her way through the millions of A ranked soul reapers. She did get creeped out by seeing too many of them.
(Flash back of what mostly happened to her)
Her third trial was two earth dragons, earth dragons aren't normal they're insane and attack based on instincts. They're dangerous since they can't really think and attack according to their stomachs instinct. These dragons are always hungry no matter what you do or feed it, taming them is a no go. Only a idiot would try to tame it, which can become the cause of many deaths for those that think it's a normal dragon. Cause of death rate for trying to do so is in 7 millions. Even Izumi knows better and the quickest way to free a earth dragon is killing it.
The 4th trial was 700,000 demons raiding her as she defended a castle. She was cursing at the fact that she didn't read any strategy books. 5th trial was a war with snow dragons on mountain. She was pissed at whoever made these trials so annoying because fire magic wouldn't work on snow dragons and she had to fight them on their home terrain with cliffs and snows. She had use her fists since one of her kantana broke. (Do note she had to fight them in their dragon form)
Snow dragons live in snow mountains their love for cliffs is their joys. They hate socializing with outsiders, have a human form but they don't fight in it cause they're uncomfortable in it. Unless it's a special individual that specializes himself in fighting as a human. Snow dragons have a thing for shiny objects, very peaceful unless a idiot goes into their territory. Known to be very territorial, will attack a person on sight for trespassing. (That's why she got annoyed by the trials. It's situations you hate the most.)
Her 6th trial was against divine beasts. A very peaceful race, their love for nature and life is what makes them loved and easily tamed. The trial made her appear near them destroying the forest near them which got her chased down. (Yep she swore that the one that made the trial wasn't out to get her.)
7th trial helping the mermaids against Leviathans. Which nearly killed her from a blast it used. Leviathans are considered demihumans and they are all pretty and are known for their eccentric personality. When angered they can flood many continents, avoid lands loves being near the sea. It's very rare to see such a monster in land. If you do it's best to befriend them not anger, she was very tired by end of this trial after injuring the male leviathan.
8th trial going against a destruction dragon which she got herself wiped out making her really moody. (Her brother is also a destruction dragon.) Destruction dragons were immortal, can't be killed with weapons, curse or spells. She tried to send him into a black hole she got herself blasted after it came back. Leaving her depressed. It can't even die by a weapon that is also used to kill a immortal. Which she yelled cheat.
9th trial she had to fight Flora her best friend which ended up with a close win. She was mentally drained from all the illusion spells casted on her. 10th trial appeasing centaurs, ended with her hanging her head in a headache. She tried to negotiate peacefully and ended up in prison and tortured being suspected for a spy. Trial then ended after that.
11th trial decision to save either her brother (Ridus) or her sisters. Her automatic answer sisters. Cause her brother was hypocrite and he'd survive either way.
12th trial fighting herself as Aries, she killed other her cause her overpowered 12 wings as angel and her other life abilities and powers that carried over.
