My Soul card is a Reaper

The Reaper possessed Azzy quickly took out an SP recovery card to recover the latter's soul energy. 

As Azzy's soul energy was recovering at a rapid pace, the Reaper spoke as he resummoned the death scythe, "What are you waiting for, puppy?"

"You dare…" Fenrir was enraged upon being called that way. He charged forward at his maximum speed.

Raydon was stiffened on the spot as the wolf was coming straight at him. He wanted to unleash his shadow form but he couldn't.

Just when the Fenrir was just a couple of feet away from Raydon, the wolf suddenly stopped its movements and was frozen like a statue. Except for its eyes and mouth, the wolf couldn't move anything else.

Of course, Fenrir wasn't the only one who froze on the spot. The other four wolves and all the students including Raydon were also in the same situation.

"How is this possible?" The Fenrir was shocked in realization. He roared, "This is my domain. I create the laws here. How could you freeze the time without my permission?"

"That might be true for my host, but not for me, Loki's lost puppy." The Reaper let out a chuckle as he raised his other free arm. The hourglass was summoned but it was already in an inverted position, meaning the soul skill was already unleashed without the need of summoning. But then again, the reaper never needs his weapons to unleash their soul skills anyway.

"It's impossible even for the gods to bypass the laws. Who the hell are you?" The Fenrir roared in anger. He was a demigod realm beast of celestial grade. How could he be stuck in such a situation? He just couldn't believe it.

Looking at the confused wolf, the Reaper spoke as it became his turn to slowly walk forward and give dialogues, "True but you see, we aren't in exactly an unrestricted environment. Your domain is barely a basic one. My host is currently too young, inexperienced, and quite complacent if I might add. He has a lot of room to grow but for his growth, opponents like you are necessary. So, how about this? I will let you live but in return, you postpone your revenge for another twenty years. Deal?"

"You will let me live? How dare you? I'm the Fenrir." The Fenrir's body suddenly started shaking in the time-frozen environment. Feeling humiliated, the beast was so angered by the Reaper that he managed to break the restriction on him with his sheer willpower and charged forward. "Raaaa"

"Oh boy. It looked like the puppy became crazy," mumbled the Reaper. He was completely calm as the wolf reached him and swiped its claws at his chest.

Just as the claws were about to strike Azzy's chest, his pitch-black eyes glowed. Once again, the Fenrir was frozen on the spot, although it is just for an instant before he suddenly returned to the spot before Raydon where he was earlier frozen in time.

"What did you do?" The Fenrir was shocked. But this time, the Reaper stayed silent. The Fenrir used everything once again he can to break the shackles of time and charge forward.

One more time, he reached his enemy and tried to kill him but then he somehow found himself in the same position.

"Oraaa…"

"Oraaa…"

"Oraaa…"

After three unsuccessful attempts, Fenrir didn't escape from the time freeze in realization. "I'm stuck in a time loop."

The Reaper responded with a comment, "Time is mysterious you know. Don't underestimate it."

The Fenrir thought of a quick way to escape this loop by changing its action. After freeing himself, the wolf swiped its claws at the frozen Raydon instead of charging at Azzy.

The Reaper didn't move from the spot and quietly watched Raydon's head separate from his body. 

"Haha, easy to beat it."

Just as Fenrir thought he escaped from the loop but in the next second, Raydon returned alive and the wolf was returned to the same spot.

The Reaper shook his head, "Changing your action will not break the time loop. I told you right? Never underestimate the time."

As the Fenrir was silent, thinking of ways to break this loop, the Reaper put more pressure by continuing to explain, "The only thing that can stop this time loop is my host's soul power reaching zero. Under my control, I need just a mere 1 SP for every loop while my host currently has more than 100 million SP. Go and calculate by yourself how long it takes just to empty the current reserves. 

Of course, I will also use SP recovery cards to keep the skill longer and there's an abundant amount of natural energy in the surroundings. I can also absorb and refine it to recover soul energy.

In this place, neither my host nor the other students will age. As long as both of us are in a time loop, the time outside of the loop remains frozen because of my time stop. And I will not let my host gain his consciousness. The two of us will remain here for eternity while only you feel the passage of time. 

To crush your mental spirit, I wouldn't take your life and will make you suffer for eternity if I have to make my point.

At first, you will be in disbelief, then, you will try various methods. You will try to kill me, you will try to teleport away, and you will even try to commit suicide. 

Eventually, you will realize the fact that you are helpless and you will be begging me to free you from this prison. But, I won't. You will lose your willpower and stop talking, will be staying in that frozen state for eternity. 

As a million years passed, you will lose your emotions and memories, you will even lose yourself. All of that could be avoided if you just give us twenty years of time. I'm putting my dignity as the personification time as the wager. I will not interfere and will not let him use the time abilities in your battle either. 

Now, what it will be? Will you accept my proposal or be stubborn and face the wrath of the time? I'm counting down to 10 and if you didn't accept my proposal by the time I was finished, I will take it as you denied it.

10… 9…"

Just like any other beast and human, the Fenrir doesn't properly understand the time and the limitations of the Reaper's powers. This celestial-grade monster could only think about the impact on his mind.

Furthermore, the Reaper sounded so convincing that Fenrir couldn't help but believe him. As the number downed to 5, a trace of fear struck Fenrir. Each number was like thunder in his ears. He desperately wanted to escape but wasn't confident enough. 

He wasn't weak or a fool to not understand his current circumstance either.

"5, 4, 3, 2…"

Just as the Reaper was about to speak the final number, The Fenrir gritted its teeth in frustration and shouted, "Alright, stop. I agree to your proposal."

"Good decision," nodded the Reaper calmly. In reality, he had already seen the future and in every kind of possible timeline, the Fenrir only took one decision. It is also the reason why the Reaper took such a gamble.
