Overview
After Subaru and co. successfully overcame the five obstacles in the Pleiades Watchtower, he finds himself in a mysterious jungle with Louis, and Rem—who has not regained her memories after regaining consciousness. The jungle soon turns out to be the Buddheim Jungle located in the southern Sacred Vollachia Empire, and after meeting the ousted Emperor of Vollachia, Vincent Abellux, he participates in a campaign to help the man calling himself Abel regain the Imperial Throne. However, the situation evolves when Priscilla Barielle and her camp arrive to help Abel. To end the rebellion, thereby allowing Subaru to return home, he and Abel must recruit more of the Nine Divine Generals than the two who deposed the Emperor, Berstetz Fondalfon and Chisha Gold. But the situation is far more complicated than it appears, and while Subaru is engulfed by an unfamiliar technique, the signs of a looming disaster predestined by the stars begin to assert themselves through a Stargazer who facilitated Abel's dethronement.

Trivia

 * Arc 7 is the first story arc that takes place outside of the Kingdom of Lugunica. More specifically, it is set in the southern Vollachia Empire.
 * It features a rich cast of Vollachian characters, some of whom already made their appearance in the Ex 4 and Ex 5 spinoff volumes.
 * The title of the Arc is a direct reference to the Vollachia Empire itself. Just like how the Dragon is the symbol of the Kingdom of Lugunica, the Wolf is the symbol of the Empire.
 * According to the author himself, Arc 7 will very likely feature his favorite chapter in the story.
 * The author stated that Arc 7 represents the around-halfway mark of the series.
 * Both Arc 7 and Arc 8 were meant to be the same arc. However, the author later chose to split Arc 7 into two arcs, creating an additional twelfth arc outside of his previous plans.
