Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Book 6: Chapter 2

Scarlet

I let out a light yawn after dealing with this most recent Void Assault the name that people have started calling what were formerly called Demonic Assaults since now theyre just Corrupted Fractures opening up and void creatures attacking instead of demons. Meanwhile I float up high in the sky lying down on a reclined throne made of blood metal while staring up at the moon that had just returned to its normal shade.

Its been boring. Very boring. Ever since Tar left for the rest of the fae tournament.

None of the fae have been allowed to leave the tournament universe since, and none of us Guardians or demons can enter it either.

In all honesty, I could probably just brute force my way into it through breaking into the void using a corrupted fracture and then finding them, but that wouldnt amount to much. Not when Oberon could just teleport me back out. Plus itd be disrespectful and probably get us disqualified.

So Im left here defending Earth without much else to do aside from video games.

Gramps is dealing with protecting Tartarus from the Corrupted Fractures, so I dont have to go there at least. Not that Id be able to, what with the reality energy requirements of the Fractures and Gates no longer being able to handle my crossing.

At best I could go there using the Fae Kings teleportation power. But I dont have that, so I cant.

And King Oberon is still busy with the tournament.

Thankfully both Gramps and I have managed to keep the casualties to a minimum during this void invasion. So theres that. And the Voided Overlord is still stuck in the void without being able to escape.

We wont be at crisis level emergency until after it breaks into the universe itself and starts destroying it just from its very presence.

Which thankfully shouldnt be for a while.

I just hope the stupid fae tournament ends soon.

Its getting boring here.

At most Oberon has displayed the overall point total for the entire Fae Ascension Tournament at the end of every round, showing who is currently winning. Which is still me and Tar, but the gap is very slowly starting to thin as the other fae clearly beat Tar in the competitions.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Theyre currently starting the twenty-third competition. Probably. I think. They just announced the results for the twenty-second, so Im assuming theyre starting the twenty-third competition now.

And this is after about a month or so since the end of the twentieth competition.

Of course, they only announced the end of the twenty-first competition about three weeks after the twentieth competition, with the twenty-second a week after that. So theres a good chance they just didnt start doing them right away after the twentieth competition ended.

But still. It sure is taking a lot longer for these competitions to go on.

I let out another sigh while staring up at the moon in the sky. Just waiting for another Void Assault to begin.

Since they seem to occur every half an hour or so. Ish. With quite a few of them happening at the same time across the world during those instances.

And while I deal with the majority of them, I do leave a couple in places that dont have any civilians but do have Guardians for the Guardians to handle. Just to give them some experience dealing with void creatures.

Even if theyre not very happy about not getting any EXP from them.

That parts not my problem though. Especially since I do get reality energy from them.

Not all that much though. Even with a month straight of almost nonstop killing these things and devouring them, Ive only raised by two levels.

Not that much considering that I need almost two hundred more levels to reach the level cap of Class V.

My thoughts come to a halt when the moon turns a glowing shade of black once more, following which I sense tens of thousands of Corrupted Fractures appearing across the planet.

I let out a sigh before activating that really uncomfortable skill and summoning thousands of clones from droplets of my blood Ive left scattered across the planet. One of the skills I bought with that massive amount of skill points I had just because its even more uncomfortable to do it with Ruler of Blood.

Since I can do it with Ruler of Blood. I can do anything blood magic related with it. So long as I figure out how.

But not as well as a skill. And Perfect Blood Clone, a legendary skill that lets me make a perfect clone of myself albeit with my mind stretched across them making it pretty much impossible to form a coherent sentence if I have too many clones, is very uncomfortable to do without the skill. Its uncomfortable with it actually. Just even moreso without it.

Plus hard to figure out.

Although its not necessarily that its hard to form a coherent sentence in one of the clones, its more like its hard to focus on one particular clone hard enough to do so. I can see what theyre seeing, but to share more than two of their senses is a bit much.

And I need it for either sight or hearing.

I can still think coherently from here.

So I do just that. Continue lying down on my lovely reclined throne while controlling thousands of clones to destroy the Corrupted Fractures and kill the void creatures. Almost all of which are Class I or Class II. With only a few Class III.

Meaning they die in an instant.

I let out another sigh as I cancel all of my clones, reaching behind my head while wearing my original outfit. One Ive taken a shine to over that stuffy armor from before.

Not like I need armor after all. And Im making my outfit now with my own magic, so might as well wear what feels most comfortable.

Some time passes before the moon finally returns to normal again, the Guardians handling the rest of the Corrupted Fractures.

This really is boring.
