Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Book 6: Chapter 18

Scarlet

I rush through space while devouring the armies of void creatures swarming it, letting my Red Plague handle the weaker ones on its own. While occasionally looking back just to make sure it doesn’t try to eat the planet.

Fortunately for me – and the planet in question – the void creatures are a much nicer meal to it. So the Red Plague focuses on them even with me largely letting loose their chains.

Of course, even if they went after the world and its citizens or the spaceships, it wouldn’t be a problem. I’d just tighten the chains in an instant. Problem solved.

I stop moving once I get close to the four void heralds still moving towards the planet. Then I take a moment to study them for anything the Fae King may’ve missed when he filled me and the others in on the void creatures during the Fae Ascension Tournament.

But I don’t see anything new about them that he didn’t already mention.

No intelligence, check.

Instinctive control over the other void creatures, check.

Large, check.

Very large, double check.

And Class V. Check.

Judging by the power I sense coming from them, close to the end of Class V. Almost on par with the power I sense coming from Gramps.

Which isn’t a good sign for the world.

It is for me though.

I grin at that thought as the Class V heralds all turn their focus to me. The creatures being just as reality hungry as the Fae King mentioned.

And who better for them to target than the person with more reality compressed in them than the entire planet and its people behind me?

I transform into my beast form while growing in size more and more until I almost mirror the heralds in size. Which is bound to be quite a sight from the ground on the planet. A wolf as large as a moon.

But I’m just gonna ignore the whispers of a goddess I hear coming from them. Because they aren’t happening.

Then I rush towards the closest of the heralds with one paw raised and a massive wave of Red Plague coating it before the massive herald moves forwards to intercept. One of its own claws raised to strike at my paw. And when we clash, a massive shockwave shoots out from between us, destroying space debris, killing void creatures, and pushing away spaceships in the process.

The other heralds don’t just sit pretty though as they quickly try to join in too. But I block all of their strikes, whether with my paws or with my Red Plague. Using it to form defenses and weapons around me to block all of their attacks.

One shockwave after another is sent out, and our battle quickly begins to deal more than a little damage to the void creature swarm even with them being devoured by my Red Plague near the planet.

It’s to the point that I have to create a massive barrier to defend the world from the aftermath of our clashes.

A barrier that just so happens to block them from seeing anything, hopefully cutting off their whispers of a wolf goddess.

The four heralds continue teaming up against me, making the battle a bit harder than I was expecting. Simply due to their numbers game and the fact that it’s like I’m fighting four mini-Gramps. But with void magic instead of his blood magic.

And their void magic is far stronger than little ol’ Anthony’s void magic. Theirs is a massive black corruption filling the entire space around us that I have to block with blood that I create through Ruler of Blood. Spreading it in a vast mist all around us.

I try to control the blood in the void heralds’ bodies while we fight, but I find that to be rather difficult for more than one reason.

For one, the blood in their bodies is… unfamiliar… to me. It’s weird. Like I don’t recognize it, but I can still control it if I focus enough.

But I don’t have the time to focus since we’re fighting, and they’re actually far faster than their size would imply.

The bright side though is that with every void creature kill amongst their swarm, I grow stronger. I devour each and every one, refilling my reserves and getting boosts from Blood Thirst in the process. And at one point I learned to mix Vampiric Ascendancy and devouring things with my Red Plague to be able to enter my pseudo frenzy without having to move up to and drink the blood of things personally.

I also make sure to summon creatures made out of Red Plague, making them ever so slightly more intelligent than the random masses of Red Plague floating out around there. Turning them into an army of monsters that rush at the army of void creatures.

Turning space above this world into a full on war.

All while the spaceships quickly make their exit, proving to be useless.

To my surprise, the void heralds slowly begin to expel more and more void energy into the surroundings. To the point that the space around us is nothing but a red and black mist that I can only sense through with my Ruler of Blood skill that gives me full senses of my surroundings. Of everything that has blood nearby. Which includes the red part of the mist.

But the mist occasionally still clears whenever me and the heralds clash, sending shockwaves out more and more with the mist replacing what’s pushed away each time. Slowly though, ever so slowly, the heralds begin to wear away. Because they can’t heal like I can.

Every single wound I take heals over time, proving to the heralds that taking me on is an impossible task.

Eventually the heralds all begin to back away from the world. Trying to make their escape from me.

I just narrow my eyes at that before raising my head and letting out a howl, making a massive sphere of Red Plague surround us all.

Then, the moment the heralds stop moving, I transform back into my lycan form, put my hands in my jacket pockets, and make the sphere begin condensing.

Let’s see them escape this.
