Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic
Book 6: Chapter 15

“Oh,” I mutter after Gramps tells me about the emergency. “How close?”

He answers right away, “You have probably a week before it’ll reach the sun.”

Ugh.

“Which means I’m gonna have to leave now to make sure it doesn’t get anywhere near our sun,” I state while rubbing my forehead, my grandfather nodding his head in the corner of my eye.

Well this certainly… throws a wrench in everything.

I didn’t forget about the Red Plague planet, but I didn’t expect it to arrive so soon either. Considering that it started its trip on the opposite end of the universe.

Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough to deal with the thing right now. I’ll need to be another fifty to a hundred levels higher for that.

Which means I need to start hunting void creatures.

Then I need to go find the Red Plague planet and devour the entire thing in a safe location far from other worlds.

“Oberon said he would be willing to take you to different worlds to fight the void invasion personally until the end of the tournament,” Gramps says, making me nod my head.

“That’s good,” I tell him while glancing back at the arena down below as the next round commences. “I’ll have to tell a few people about what’s happening before I leave though.” I turn back to Gramps. “Got some responsibilities I need to clear up first after all.”

He nods his head and says, “Just tell me when you’re read to head out. I’ll be waiting in here.”

I nod back before teleporting straight to Black, making the audience go wild while also startling the man. Then I whisper into his ear, “Red Plague planet is getting too close. I have to leave Earth.”

That makes him drop his mic. Literally.

I back up and tell him, louder this time, “Make sure to tell the other Guardians that as well.”

Then I go ahead and teleport down to where Aria is surrounded by other eighth graders, startling them all and driving them into a frenzy as well. Only for me to simply wave at them before giving Aria a hug and saying, “I’ll be leaving Earth for a little while, okay? The Red Plague planet is getting near.”

She looks incredibly saw when I pull away, but I just pat her on the head with a sad smile. Following which she says a quiet, “Okay.”

I begin to turn around, only for her to grab onto my jacket, making me glance back again.

“Come back soon,” she says with a smile this time.

“Sure,” I tell her with another pat before teleporting back to Gramps. Then I tell him, “Alright, I’ll stay here for another hour or so while the people of Earth set up countermeasures for me not being here to deal with the Corrupted Fractures.”

“Understandable,” Gramps says as we both just float in place above one of the stadium walls, simply watching the tournament go about. “So how have you been doing?”

I glance at him before focusing on the arena again while answering, “Not bad. Although most of my time has been spent dealing with the Corrupted Fractures.”

Gramps grunts at that as he says, “Yeah, same here. Though I feel like you have a bigger issue with them than I do.”

“True,” I state without taking my eye off of the competition currently underway in the arena. “Tartarus’s demons can handle themselves a lot better than Earth’s humans can.”

The two of us go silent again after that, neither of us being all that good at small talk. Then we just kinda sit here, or rather float here for a long while watching the competition.

Eventually though, the hour runs out, and I turn back towards Gramps while saying, “It’s time.”

He nods his head, following which Oberon appears next to us. And without wasting any time or even so much as saying a word, he waves his wing and teleports me straight to a world being overwhelmed by void creatures.

To my surprise though, this world is inhabited by sapient creatures. I can tell that right away from my place floating high in the air, looking out over the cities beneath me.

Wow. Never really… I guess I never really fully processed the fact that there are other worlds with sapient life out there.

Well, anyways. I ignore the cities for now as I turn towards the sky and the massive forces of void creatures currently entering the atmosphere.

Time to get started.

I transform into my quadrupedal beast form before expanding my size significantly. Then I summon forth an entire rain of blood metal blades that I point towards the void creatures.

And without any hesitation, I send the blades right at them, tearing through their weaker numbers with ease while also swallowing them up into the Red Plague blood metal blades. Something I learned to do with ease from my time dealing with the Corrupted Fractures on Earth.

The void creatures begin to spread out, attempting to swallow the world up. But I don’t let them, instead spreading out my own attacks. Summoning forth waves of Red Plague blood metal blades all across the entire stratosphere of the planet. Covering up the entire planet and blocking out its sun for the duration of this battle.

Sorry about that little fellas down there, but I don’t really have much choice.

Gotta eat after all.

My blades tear through the void invasion, with the void creatures growing in number almost as fast as I tear their numbers down and devour them.

The process goes on repeat over and over, with my blades just constantly manifesting and being launched at them before they devour the creatures, return to me, feed me, demanifest, and manifest again.

And I feel like I hear mutters of a wolf god down below on the planet. But I’m just gonna pretend I didn’t hear that.

Because I didn’t.

Yeah. Definitely didn’t.

I just continue slaughtering the void creatures by the masses until I finally deal with all of the breeders.

Then the higher Class ones are the only ones left remaining. Several dozen Class IVs.

All the size of houses.

This’ll be a bit more fun than those other wimps at least. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
