Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Book 6: Chapter 55

All Across the Universe

No matter where someone is in the universe, every last being feels the effects of the battle of the gods. All the way down to the smallest of insects as waves of power soar across every last world, leading to the worlds atmospheres and weather cycles being affected in the process.

But little to none of them know what exactly is happening. Unlike those on Earth and Tartarus, where every last demon and human holds their breath whenever they look up at the massive screens floating above their heads.

The battle itself goes on for entire months, and during this time, life on Earth and Tartarus slowly begins to return to what it used to be now that the void creatures themselves are gone. However, despite this, no one relaxes. No one feels safe.

And everyone spends at least a few hours every day watching the battle.

Because this battle will determine the survival of the universe at large.

Even the fae and other spirits residing within their realms in the void keep watch on the battle. None of them daring to get anywhere near it, but also not wanting to miss a second of it.

Out of the spectators, a small group of them stands out.

The Demon King repeatedly taps his foot on the balcony of his palace as he stares up at the screen directly above him. High in the sky.

As the other Demon Lords – except for the Blood Calamity – all gather around him on the balcony alongside the leaders of each Noble Clan, looking up as well.

Some of them feel anxiety. Others fear. Both directed towards their own princess and the Voided Overlord itself.

And some even feel reverence, or even awe.

At the same time, on Earth, all of the Knights of Humanity gather atop White’s tower in the middle of the ocean. Just staring up at the sky with the Blood Calamity standing next to the White Knight of Humanity.

The two holding each other close as they watch their daughter fight for both her own life and the lives of every other being in the universe. Each feeling proud of her, and, consequently, ignoring the look of glee she has on her face and replacing it in their imaginations with a serious expression fitting a savior.

And far away from her tower, on the other side of Earth, where the Silver Association base is, Allen and Cynthia can be seen standing on the roof of their building watching the battle in silence. Merely worrying about their adopted daughter as Belle and Arthur stand not too far away from them holding each other as well. Their wedding having been delayed due to the battle.

If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Because there is no way either of them would ever have their wedding without Scarlet present.

Time gradually passes as the battle continues on within the screen, far from any inhabited world. As the two godlike beings tear each other apart, with Scarlet regenerating from any and all damage she takes, and the Voided Overlord perfectly defending against the majority of her attacks. If not eating them entirely and growing magically stronger.

But after half a year passes since the beginning of their fight, things begin to change.

Scarlet

I pant in exhaustion as I face the Voided Overlord, who is currently covered in hundreds of thousands of holes across its body where scales used to be. With glowing red blood devouring parts of its flesh. And after a brief pause to dodge another beam of void energy sent straight from its mouth, I find myself grinning.

Then I finally let out a loud howl, controlling the Red Plague I’ve let build up in the Voided Overlord’s body to turn into metal. Slicing apart one part of its body after another and cutting off several of its fingers while making mincemeat of parts of its legs and arms and torso. Pretty much everywhere.

Unfortunately, it’s only the first half of its body closest to the surface. And it doesn’t include its heart.

But now…

My grin grows wider as the Voided Overlord lets out a massive roar of pain and instantly loses control of a lot of its void domain around us. Letting me push back against it with my own blood domain.

I charge forwards along with my domain before latching my fangs onto the Voided Overlord’s shoulder while it’s distracted. Then I pump in as much Red Plague as I can into the creature’s body, spreading it around and devouring more and more of it as I do so.

Only for my mind to blank seconds after I hear a loud roar come from the Voided Overlord. Following which I find myself reforming a couple thousand kilometers away, where I spot the Voided Overlord completely devouring my body. Growing stronger again in the process.

But at this point, that doesn’t matter much.

It’s on its downfall right now after all.

Or, at least, I thought it was.

My opinion changes as I find myself gaping at the creature just seconds later.

As the Voided Overlord’s gaze suddenly narrows at me with absolute rage in it and the creature suddenly deforms itself. Turning into nothing but void energy.

The same as how I often turn into blood.

I watch the void energy turn into a large swirling mass in space, just straight up devouring the Red Plague I had inside of it. Then it slowly forms a single shape.

That same humanoid shape I saw earlier on in the battle.

My eyes narrow at the Voided Overlord, only for it to open its mouth unnaturally wide and let out a powerful screech.

I lower the sensitivity of my ears before deciding to follow suit and transforming into my own humanoid form, with my usual outfit on.

Then the two of us find each other facing off once more.

Except this time, I feel it.

The Voided Overlord is on its last legs.

But at the same time, it’s as strong as it can possibly be right now magic-wise.

I glance at Earth and Tartarus for a second before refocusing on the Voided Overlord, ignoring my own exhaustion in the process as my grin slowly morphs into a serious expression.

Let’s finish this.
