Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Book 6: Chapter 54

Scarlet

Without hesitation, I begin sneaking in bits of the Red Plague through the shattered scales, into the Voided Overlord’s body. But I keep the Red Plague pacified within it to make sure it doesn’t damage the creature.

Instead I make sure to build up more and more inside of the creature. All the way till it finally notices and lets out a roar while directly its own void energy inwards.

And right when they do, I immediately set the Red Plague inside of it into a frenzy. Devouring large chunks of the Voided Overlord’s insides.

Although, by large chunks, I mean entire dozens of meters of flesh.

Which, compared to the creatures size equaling that of multiple planets, isn’t much. At all.

But it’s a start.

Far more damage than I was doing before, with just cracking its scales a bit.

I hear cheering coming from Earth and Tartarus, but I ignore it as I begin to focus on cracking scales in different locations on its body. Managing to do that without as much trouble this time due to the creature’s focus being on eliminating the Red Plague within the other hole.

Then I go ahead and fill it with some Red Plague in those new places as well. Taking out more chunks of the creature in the process.

The Voided Overlord lets out a loud shriek of rage as the void energy around it begins to swirl around, immediately wiping out the Red Plague within it and devouring it. But, just as with any other Red Plague it devours, the creature doesn’t obtain my power.

Probably because the Red Plague is my domain. Not just a power.

And it can’t use my domain.

It’s mine, after all.

What it can do, however, is send that swirling mass of enlarged void energy straight at me with another roar. A mass that I quickly try to block with my Red Plague, only for it to break through, making it straight to me before devouring half of my body.

I immediately reform several thousand meters behind the Voided Overlord, leaving that body behind as the Voided Overlord proceeds to devour it. Then, while it’s distracted, I go ahead and prepare my own attack. Opening my mouth wide and forming a powerful orb in my mouth.

It’s an attack I’ve been working on for a while now.

One that mixes all of my domains together.

It doesn’t take too long for the Voided Overlord to notice the massive power building up around my mouth. But I don’t care.

I just keep going, forming a glowing crimson and white orb of pure power. One that grows larger, and larger, and larger, all the way till it resembles and entire moon.

A glowing crimson moon.

A blood moon.

Then the moon begins to shift a little, with swarms of wolf-like manifestations of blood charging straight out of it in a swarm at the Voided Overlord.

To my surprise, the Voided Overlord lets out another roar and moves back, making a massive rift appear in front of it leading to the void.

A rift that immediately releases one void creature after another that clashes with my manifestations of Red Plague.

My eyes narrow a little, but I don’t stop the rest of my attack. Instead letting out a loud howl as the red and white energies inside of the planet begin to focus on one spot in the center while more and more of the wolf manifestations are released.

And after the light from the energies grows so bright the humans and demons on Earth and Tartarus have to close their eyes, a beam spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers in width shoots out of the blood moon straight at the Voided Overlord and its rift. One made out of the white null magic and the crimson Red Plague, with the null magic on the outside making most of the beam look white.

I breathe a little heavily at the exertion I just put out to do that, but not to the point of panting. Meanwhile my beam, or breath attack, or whatever anyone wants to call it, pierces straight through the rift to the void and into the Voided Overlord’s scales. Simply erasing one scale after another thanks to the null magic before my Red Plague starts to flood into the Voided Overlord’s body.

But to both my relief and disappointment – disappointment that I haven’t saved the universe yet but relief that the hunt is still on – the battle isn’t ended this easily.

The Voided Overlord lets out another roar of sheer anger before a strange ringing sound suddenly echoes out followed by silence. Then a massive black orb appears over the Voided Overlord’s form, absorbing a large amount of my breath attack in the process, even as I shoot out more. And the more of my attack it devours, the larger it gets.

Until I put in more power into my attack. At which point the two begin to clash instead of mine simply being absorbed.

And the clash once again sends waves of power out across the universe, causing even more damage to the planets on this side.

Neither of us let up, however, and continue our assault.

But over time, I find the Voided Overlord’s attack slowly beginning to overpower my own. Making me grimace as its orb grows larger.

Then, to my surprise, the Voided Overlord suddenly roars once again. A roar so loud that it echoes across the entire universe, even audible around Earth and Tartarus. And with that roar, the creature’s void energy orb expands rapidly. Pushing against my breath attack and immediately enveloping me entirely.

Devouring my body in an instant.

I reform again several thousand kilometers away, feeling exhausted at this point. But I’m reassured by the fact that no matter how much this creature does to me, I’m immortal.

So long as some of my blood exists within the universe, there is no way to kill me.

And I prepared for this even if I was rushed.

I sent my blood everywhere. Scattering it to every single corner of this universe, and even within the void itself.

But… this is a problem.

My eyes narrow on the Voided Overlord as the orb begins to shrink back down into its body.

Despite the major damage all over its body from my attack, and the exhaustion it also seems to be feeling…

I can sense that its magic has grown stronger.

Its domain.

So that’s how this is gonna go…

I quickly turn back into my wolf form while grinning at the Voided Overlord.

If that’s how you want to play, then fine.

“Let’s play,” I growl out loud before rushing at the Voided Overlord again, the creature rushing at me in return.

Resuming our clashes from earlier.
