In the past timeline, during a mere investigation of missing livestock, he somehow ended up solving the experimentation of missing humans, killing the werewolf, and digging up the bodies on a mountain.
He didn't know what was Fenrir and he didn't ask the Reaper either. He just assumed that it is probably a shape-shifting wolf.
According to Loren's memories, which he found with the "Soul Search" soul skill, the wolf named Fenrir ran away after it was found out. If it was truly a powerful beast, why would it do that?
However, as Azzy directly witnessed its appearance while his aura sensing is still active, he realized how wrong he was.
It was a fuc*ing top-tier celestial-grade monster like Vajra and far more powerful than even Qridus Garcia.
Azzy's whole body started shivering uncontrollably on its own as he stared at the wolf. "A demigod?"
"Yes, it is a demigod realm beast. During the time of your ancestor Azrael, it used to be an Arcana spirit of Loki, who is the adopted brother of the Asgardian leader," replied the Reaper.
"Thor Odinson," said Azzy, remembering one of the names of the nine generals of Emperor Arthur. Leah informed him back then.
The Reaper continued, "Yes. Later on, just like Thor, as Loki also entered the god realm (rank-11), he had to part with two of his Arcana as they couldn't become the divine grade spirits. One of them was Fenrir. And the other one is named Jormungandr.

"No, let me face it." Azzy rejected the Reaper's suggestion to possess him and fight the opponent. Since there the restriction in the surroundings still working, he was confident that he can fight the beast. Not to mention, the Reaper's statement also ticked him off.
He also wanted to prove him wrong.
The Reaper understood his thoughts and didn't argue with him anymore. However, he didn't forget to remind him about the 47 students behind him.
Meanwhile, Fenrir was slowly walking toward him. Seeing Azzy in silence for a while, he said in an arrogant tone, "No matter what kind of strategy you think of, there is no escaping from this place. You are dealing with a demigod. Even if the entire humanity gathered to fight against me, they will still lose."
Azzy was forced to respond to it with bold words, "Take a look around you, Fenrir. If you wanted to take revenge, you should have chosen a better place. In a restricted environment, fighting me is just the same as committing suicide. In the end, you proved that your intellectual brain is still comparable to that of a beast."
"You dare…"
Azzy's words not only displeased the opponent but also boosted the confidence of the panicked students.
Halting his footsteps, Fenrir replied, "That might have been true at Nlethemar but the situation here is different. In this region, I could unleash my domain. Even though I couldn't summon the final form of my domain, it is enough to restrict you for eternity. And you lacked the power to destroy this."
"Nlethemar?" Azzy furrowed his brows. "You have been following us?"
"Of course, I am. How else do you think I ambushed you in this spot?" replied the wolf. He further explained, "When you rewound the time yesterday, I sensed your existence but you are a bit too far to trace your exact location. And when you did it again, I found you.
Originally, I planned to massacre the entire city along with you but it will only cause me trouble because of my oath to those gods. So, I had to wait until the right time."
"Oath? What is he talking about, Chronos?" Azzy didn't waste his time and contacted the Reaper for the answer.
The Reaper answered, "He cannot kill a civilian. It doesn't matter whether they were right or wrong. The moment he murders a civilian (the one with no Arcana spirit), the seal will be activated and the divine chains will strangle him to death."
Azzy couldn't help but turn his head to glance at his students in reflex and muttered under his breath, "Damn it."
He then looked at the wolf and said, "Fine, if you think I'm your culprit, you can kill me but the students are innocent. Why drag them into this? Free them from this domain. We can settle our score with a fight."
"Well, I don't plan on killing them at first but then I thought since I was having a handicap in this location, you should also have one," replied the wolf as he showed his sharp fangs. Fenrir further said, "I promise you that I won't target them on purpose but if they were hit accidentally and get killed, then, their death is upon you."
"You…"
The faces of dozens of students changed when they heard that. Their faces turned pale in fright and some of the girls lost their strength in their legs and collapsed on the ground.
"No way" "Did we invite our death by following his idea?" "We should have just paid the entrance fee to those Nlethemar City guards" "Why did this maniac come to our class" "I should have stayed behind" "We are done" "No, I don't want to die here" "Why did that bi*ch Snivy challenge him and lost?" "It's the fault of those 10-A bast*rds. If only they didn't lodge a complaint to…" "Mummy, Daddy, I miss you" "Waah!" "Someone please help"
As everyone was either busy cursing Azzy, Snivy, 10-A students, and even their fate, Raydon commented with a look of disgust on his face, "How pitiful you lot are. If you have a fear of death, why do you even bother entering this path of Arcana and studying in an academy located in Arcana World? All 46 of you are just cowards. If you make it alive, drop from the course and return to your homes."
"Who is afraid of death?" Ace argued with him, not intending to admit that Raydon is right. He added, "One day, I will become a general of my nation and lead thousands of soldiers. If I die, I will die on a battlefield, not in a place like this and too, to a beast."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGaining a slight bit of courage from Ace's words, the class monitor, Julius stepped forward and then looked back at his classmates, "Don't worry, everyone. Believe in our teacher and our own abilities. If we work together, we can protect ourselves with fusion skills. Remember what we have learned in our class? C'mon, those with earth and water attributes, we need you the most."
Under Julius' lead, the students started getting up on their feet one after another.
Watching the scene, Azzy was slightly overwhelmed and a smile appeared on his face for a moment before it disappeared as he unsealed his soul orb.
Keeping his identity a secret no longer mattered for the moment.
"Come out, Vajra, Ruby, and Jinn."
He summoned not one but three soul cards before the three Arcana spirits made their appearance one after another.
*Woof* *Pui* "Master"
The students were shocked to see the three of them. Even Fenrir appeared to be taken aback for a second.
However, Azzy wasn't done there.
He raised his hand and a death scythe with a handle twice his size was summoned.
"Four Arcana spirits?" Raydon's eyes looked like they were gonna pop out. He was greatly shocked by what he was witnessing.
"A bunch of celestial-grade spirits, eh? Well, let's get started then." The wolf made the first move by opening its mouth. A tremendous amount of energy started gathering in its mouth.
