Meanwhile, the Yulfin Wolf Lord, the Orc Orc Lord, the Nagazis Snake Lord, and the Goblin Ruler Cavelior all had their gazes showing extreme shock.
As for the Magic Emperor Aster Guilford, the Magic Master Belgord Kathalli, the demonic assassin Yuta Casseral, and the responsible students and professors present on the battlefield, they were divided into two categories; One quiet group, another happy group, the latter included the responsible professors and most of the students.
Everyone was looking at the place where Reinhardt de Moliard was fighting, where the echo of the Black Ruler Ashurin's power and prestige had completely disappeared, and only the echo of Reinhardt's power remained in the air.
Declaring the fall of the first monster ruler in this war, which lasted several hours.
At the ruler of the wolves, Yulven, who was in his human form, with long silver-black hair that reached his waist, golden eyes, and a black broadsword in his hand, was looking at Yukimarus with calm eyes, before taking twenty-three steps away from him.
"He is a very strong opponent, and he has not even used his Blessing Wing yet."
He spoke to himself calmly, before avoiding Yukimarus' sudden attack that targeted him from behind.
With moderate difficulty, he moved several steps away from the site of the attack, muttering in a low voice while gathering energy in his sword:
"Alpha Art: Supreme Moon Blades!"
Several silver energy blades, each over three meters long, shot towards Yukimarus at an insane speed.
Yukimarus snapped his fingers, disappearing immediately from where he was, along with the blades, before appearing behind Yolvin's back.
Yulvin suffered several serious physical injuries to his back, causing him to spit blood from his mouth and lose a large amount of his blood, until he lost the ability to control his body.
Yukimarus inflicted several stabs on his body very quickly, but the speed of the Wolf Lord's regeneration was greater than the speed of his stabs, causing him to use teleportation to escape from Yukimarus' attacks.
"Kh, kh, kh, kh, kh... Ha-ha-ha-ha!"
Yolvin was laughing at times and coughing at other times, while looking at his hand planted in Yukimaros' chest.
Even though his arm was severed, he was able to easily restore it thanks to his terrifying regeneration ability. However, if he fought an entity like Venerable Lotus Venerable Jihao Yuxuan, End Patch Venerable Ping Tao Shen, or entities of their level, his regenerative immortality would be of no use to him.
Yukimarus pulled Yulvin's arm out from the middle of his chest, causing blood to start flowing profusely from his chest and mouth, right before he threw the arm away.
However, Yulven split his body from his chest to his waist, and was thrown several meters, hitting a giant rock that was destroyed and turned into a pile of dust.
Amidst the pile of dust, Yukimarus was looking at Yulvin with cold eyes, as if he were looking into a cold, endless void.
He advanced with steady, heavy steps, while a cold silver aura formed behind him in the form of a giant wolf with white fur, whose limbs began to turn black.
The wolf tilted his head closer to that of Euchemaros, who spoke quietly:
"Ragnulf, come."
The wolf behind Yukimarus let out a powerful howl that was enough to shake existence itself in the Infinite Realms.
A giant rune appeared above the wolf made of aura, and then a pillar of energy appeared that surrounded it for several seconds, before it began to disappear, revealing a milky-white statue.
The statue began to crack, revealing a giant wolf with blackish-white fur and abyss-like eyes. He was the protector of the Mactyre family, Ragnwulf.
The ruler of the wolves, Yulfin, could not move. Ragnulf was so strong, that he was stronger than Reinhart himself. Ragnolf was one of the Ten Supreme Beast Lords, and the Supreme Lord of the Wolves.
Yulfin automatically took several steps back due to Ragnulf's cold, authoritative gaze.
Ragnulf looked at him condescendingly, just before he disappeared, speaking in a tone full of mockery and contempt:
"I wouldn't fight a lowly bug. "The next time you summon me for such a trivial reason, it will be you who will die."
He disappeared after inflicting an injury on Yukimarus that he would not be able to heal, as punishment for summoning him for something he considered trivial.
This made a confused smile appear on Yolvin's face; He no longer knew whether to smile or be upset by what was happening around him.
Regaining his focus, he charged toward Yukimarus, who seemed shocked by the situation, or so it seemed, and then struck him with his sword, trying to split him in half.
Slack!
Signs of astonishment appeared on his face as he looked at Yukimarus' body turning into pieces of shadows.
Discovering that he was exposed to a high-level illusion, he turned his gaze towards his right hand, only to find Yukimarus pointing his foot towards his face.
Yolvin was thrown several meters into the air, with his nose and jaw broken, and several of his teeth shattered.
"foolish! Do you think Ragnulf will let me summon him so easily? Who would have thought you would believe that?
Yukimarus's tone of voice was calm, as he took off towards Yolven.
Yulven was falling to the ground, almost unconscious, and Yukimarus directed another kick at his stomach, launching him at the speed of light towards the ground.
"Oh, my head! What the hell is going on, Creator of Hell?!"
Yolvin said, semi-conscious, as he fell towards the ground, creating a portal using his last shred of consciousness.
He fell to the ground with injuries half less than what he would have otherwise sustained, and yet, enough to break the bones in his entire body.
He used a dome around his body, while his regenerative immortality began to heal his injuries relatively slowly, his injuries were many, and his immortality had difficulty healing them.
Several minutes passed, during which Yukimarus continued to hit the dome, while Yulvin healed himself. However, the dome was not even slightly scratched.
Yulven blew up the dome, creating a blanket of dust mixed with enhanced mana, preventing Yukimarus from seeing what was happening around him.
Yulven took several steps away from him after managing to treat all of his injuries, while holding his Chaos Universe Radiant Sword.
He launched a powerful attack that wiped out an area of three square kilometers with complete ease.
"Yukimarus, are you still playing these games? What a fool you are!
Yulvin blocked Yukimaros' surprise attack, while speaking sarcastically.
They both took several steps away from each other, their gazes remaining as calm as they had been.
They both spoke at the same time, with terrifying determination:
"I will win this battle!"
Yolvin heaved a sigh full of determination, then inspected his body and spoke very calmly:
"My body won't handle that force for long. "I have to finish it as soon as possible."
He headed toward Yukimaros again, alternating between attacking and defending. It has become a life or death battle for them.
While Yulven was repelling Yukimaros' attacks, a lotus flower appeared before his eyes.
\[Borrower Yolvin, 15 minutes left to repay the loan.\]
The lotus flower disappeared immediately after, as if it had never existed.
Yulvin felt disoriented for several seconds, and those seconds were enough for Eukimaros to stab him in the shoulder and part of his stomach.
Yolvin walked away immediately without saying anything, the message was on his mind.
Loan... When did you borrow from someone?
This question was running through his mind without any answer.
Yukimarus attacked with great force, but the latter blocked the attack, firstly because he was prepared for it, and secondly because Yulvin was not focused when he attacked him, allowing Yukimarus to block his attack quite easily.
"What a fool you are, Yolvin!"
Yukimarus's tone of voice was calm, as he threw him several meters after his sword was destroyed by the force of the impact.
Yolvin said to himself:
"I must win, whatever the cost."
Then he fell straight to the ground.
Yolvin then got up and wiped the dirt mixed with blood from his body, before speaking:
"I have to win. The strongest are the only ones who survive in this world."
Yolvin's gaze was calm and full of determination, as he looked towards Yukimarus McTire.
Remember the features of the face of the person who killed his parents, as he was dying.
Yulvin was heading towards the mercenary leader who had killed his parents a very long time ago.
"Aw, are you so afraid of death, huh? All entities fear death eventually, but it is the path we will all take."
Yulven's tone of voice was full of sarcasm, as he looked at the pale-faced mercenary leader.
The latter spoke fearfully, begging for mercy, while looking at Yolvin, who was approaching him with steady steps in his human form:
"Please, have mercy on me! I don't want to die, please!
Tears were flowing from his eyes as he pleaded with him.
But this increased the anger and contempt in Yolvin's eyes, so he began hitting him in the face several times with his foot, until his entire face was disfigured.
"You want mercy and compassion? What a pile of filth! Didn't you kill my parents and slit their stomachs open for something that was theirs in the first place? You humans are scum; You kill not to live and survive, but to provide for your trivial needs!
Yulven continued to hit the mercenary leader's head hard, until it was completely shattered.
Then he grabbed him by the neck and devoured his mutilated head in one bite, sending blood mixed with the remains of meat and fat flying into the air without stopping.
Yulvin opened his eyes, finding himself several steps away from Yukimarus, who was holding his dagger in his hand, while holding the remains of his sword, without showing any intention of surrendering.
"However, I avenged my family in the end, after two hundred years of training. Even though that man was an old man, 856 years old, I did not prevent myself from killing the biggest beneficiary of my parents' deaths, after the leader of the Hunters' Guild."
Yulfen spoke ecstatically, while looking at the lotus flower right in front of his eyes.
\[The loan term has expired, Master Yulven, Lord of the Wolves. It's time to pay.\]

Debts owed by the Lord of the Wolf Lords, Yulfen, to the Lord of the Venerable Lotus Venerables, Jihao Yuxuan:
1) Lending an amount of power of 665 deshilar AP, at 15:58 pm.
2) He was treated for all his injuries, at 15:44 p.m.
The price agreed upon by both parties, with evidence proving this from the borrower's words.]
The Yulven Wolf Lord heard a voice in his head that made him feel strange.
"You want the power to defeat your opponent, Yukimarus McTire? "I like your determination to fight."
Venerable Venerable Lotus Flower Jihao Yuxuan's tone held a great deal of admiration, as he looked towards the Wolf Lord.
Yulvin was confused, he was such a mysterious person; The fog surrounded his entire body, and only his mouth was visible. However, he realizes that the voice he hears is not his real voice.
He spoke in a tone of disbelief, while looking at him:
"Will you give me the strength to defeat Duke Euchemaros MacTire?"
A slight smile appeared on Venerable Lotus Flower Venerable Jihao Yuxuan's lips, before he spoke:
"Yes, I can give you the power needed to defeat that person called Yukimarus MacTire. But you have to give me something in return, according to what is called the law of equal exchange. Give me your soul.
A sign of hesitation appeared on the Wolf Lord's face, causing Venerable Lotus Venerable Jihao Yuxuan's smile to widen.
He directed his hand hidden by the mist towards him, and spoke in a loud voice:
"As I expected, you lowly coward! She says things I'm not capable of doing. "You're really pathetic!"
"A while ago, you were saying that you would do anything to win, but I see something else."
"But I didn't mean to. How...?"
«How what? You're still that cowardly puppy, you're really pathetic! Okay, I'll leave.'
The Wolf Lord's facial features were undecipherable as he looked at the ground, and his own memories of when he was a young pup began to come back to him.
Wolf Lord Yulfen cleared his mind of that memory, then looked at the place where Venerable Lotus Flower Jihao Yuxuan was standing, and shouted loudly:
«I agree to your request! Give me the strength to win, and I will certainly give you my soul!"
Several minutes passed without any response, which made him feel disappointed. But that did not last long, as Venerable Lotus Flower Jihao Yuxuan appeared, with a slight smile on his face.
"An excellent choice."
He snapped his fingers, and a wave of energy shot out from the Wolf Lord Yolven's body, raising his power level until he was stronger than Yukimarus.
An amused smile appeared on Yolvin's face, and he spoke gratefully:
"Thank you, sir. My soul is a small price to pay for what you have given me."
Jihao Yuxuan disappeared immediately after that, because his time within this world had ended.
Venerable Lotus Venerable Jihao Yuxuan laughed mockingly, as he looked at where Yulfen was standing.
"We'll see that soon, Yulfin, Lord of the Wolves. Will your body handle that force or not? However, you are more determined and resolute than the ruler of the lions, Asurin.'
Yulvin was shocked; He did not forget any detail, whether small or large, and even the feelings he felt were written down as if he were reading a novel or an excerpt from a story. The same applied to the ruler of the lions, Ashurin.
He felt a beautiful sensation, as the lotus flowers gathered around him very quickly, covering almost his entire body in an extremely short time.
\[The loan will be repaid by the spirit of Master Yulfin, nicknamed the Ruler of the Wolves.\]
Yulfen closed his eyes, a faint smile on his face, as he looked at Venerable Lotus Flower Venerable Jihao Yuxuan with his only eye not covered by lotus flowers.
"I was a fool, Venerable Venerable Lotus Flower Jihao Yuxuan. The soul, in the end, is the greatest treasure."
These were the last words he said before he lost the ability to speak, along with his other four senses.
A slight smile appeared on Jihao Yuxuan's face as he looked at him.
"Yes, in the end the soul is the most precious thing."
In a very white world, there were three wolves looking at each other.
"Sorry, parents. Looks like I won't see you again after all. But I killed the person who killed you, and my goal was to win, but my death came because of the price I paid."
Yolvin's tone of voice was full of bewilderment and self-mockery, as he considered himself selfish.
Tears flowed from his eyes, while his parents remained silent as they looked at him.
"I love you, mom and dad. I've always missed you both. You are the only family I lost when I was young. I have always remembered you and visited your graves throughout the past thousands of years."
"But I will never see you again because of my greed and cowardice. My death is near, and I will not die as an honorable fighter, but rather I will become fuel or a tool for another entity. "I wanted to survive, but death attracted me with great force."
His parents gently wiped his head, and he looked up at them, finding their eyes cold.
Then he discovered that they were just an illusion created by his mind to ease the burden of the idea of death on him, and to express his desire to see his family again.
Outside of Wolf Lord Yulfen's subconscious, lotus flowers had covered his entire body, leaving nothing of it visible.
Venerable Lotus Venerable Jihao Yuxuan transformed into his dragon form, as he looked towards the body of Wolf Lord Yulfen, and spoke in a calm and respectful tone:
"You were a true warrior, someone who faced death with a smile, arms outstretched to welcome it. But you were not satisfied with yourself."
In a real dimension, Yukimarus was looking at the corpse of the Yolven Wolf Lord, which had returned to its original form, and had begun to turn into a golden mist.
Yolvin's voice came from his body, while tears were flowing from his eyes:
"Thank you, Duke Euchemaros MacTeer. "My death was so ridiculous that it seemed like mere entertainment, but my opponent was stronger than me in the end, and he did not use his full strength."
"However, the end was settled from the beginning. Thank you. But please, split me in half or do something before I die completely. "I do not want euthanasia, as I see it as humiliation and disgrace."
Yukimarus closed his deep crimson eyes, then pointed his dagger at Yulven's neck, cutting off his entire head.
However, not a single drop of blood fell; Nothing but ethereal dust was released into the air, in a greater quantity than before.
"You have been a worthy opponent, Yulfin, Lord of the Wolves. I will remember you as long as I live. After all, you were a better wolf than me, a good son, and you would have been a good father too. As for me, I was neither a good father nor a good son."
Yukimarus spoke respectfully, while looking at Yolvin, who had completely disappeared from existence and blacked himself out.
Venerable Lotus Flower Venerable Jihao Yuxuan looked at the lotus flower embodiment, while three petals recovered.
"There are only two people left who I lent, and Six Petals will be back soon."
Venerable Lotus Venerable Jihao Yuxuan's tone of voice was full of contentment, as he looked at the hundred-petaled lotus avatar.
\[Note from the author: The soul in the novel does not mean the soul in the literal sense, but rather the essence that makes the entity exist.
