Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Book 6: Chapter 46

Scarlet

About a week passes since meeting with Belle before I’m given the exact time and date of the wedding. Which turns out to be about one and a half months from now. Right at the start of the new year in the capital on Earth.

A bit later than they originally stated, but it makes sense that they might want to have it during the holidays. Since holidays are holidays.

And, unsurprisingly, Belle asks me to be a bridesmaid. Along with Denise and Emily.

On the other hand, Arthur’s best man is Michael, and some of his friends as the groomsmen. Which isn’t surprising, considering how much time the team spends together.

I don’t really have any actual responsibilities except for when the wedding happens, so it’s more of an honorary position for me. Since I kind of have to deal with the void invasion and making sure the world, and more importantly, their wedding isn’t destroyed.

“Don’t let anyone hear what you just thoughts,” Tar mutters in my head, making me give a single, expressionless salute without any sort of verbal response.

I continue looking out over Earth from space with my arms crossed, simply letting my clones go around slaughtering and devouring the void creatures like cattle. Something I learned how to do about a year ago. To automate the process so that I don’t have to give most of the areas my full attention.

Just the places with stronger void creatures.

Specifically the Class V disaster planets, as I like to call them. Planets that are just filled with Class V void creatures who are quite literally devouring the planet. Where I have to actually repair holes in the planet myself.

All while ignoring their praises to me, the ‘Goddess of Blood’. Because no.

I have checked in periodically to see how I compare to the Voided Overlord, but even after years, I still don’t feel confident beating it. Even if I won’t just be crushed like a bug anymore at the very least.

Kind of ironic that the Voided Overlord is just feeding me the strength I need to beat it though. What with its little army just going through to feed me.

I tap my finger on my arm while looking out over Earth for several seconds. Then I turn to look in the direction of the Voided Overlord again, pursing my lips a little.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

Should be fine now.

I teleport straight over to the Voided Overlord, finding myself in a hellish abyss within space. One filled with void energy just coating everything like grime, including the very few planets still here that haven’t been completely destroyed.

But even those planets are nothing more than dead husks covered in nests of void creatures.

The massive rift the Voided Overlord is trying to go through is much smaller on the edges, with the creature’s hand trying to stretch through the center, widest part of it. Meanwhile I immediately lock eyes with the Voided Overlord itself when I look through the edges of the rift.

Or, rather, lock eye. Since the thing is so big I can only see one eye from here.

A massive eye at that.

And when my eyes lock on it, I feel a shiver run down my spine.

I turn away from the Voided Overlord, whose gaze I feel nothing but an all-devouring sense of gluttony. Like all it wants to do is eat and destroy. To devour everything in reality and leave nothing behind. And what I find after turning away isn’t all that much better, since there are quite a few black holes in the galaxy around here.

And the void creatures here are all Class V. There isn’t a single weaker void creature. Not a single one.

If I’d come here a couple years ago, I probably would’ve succumbed to the void energy alone. Void energy that is so dense that it makes it hard to even stay here.

Almost like it’s trying to force itself into me and devour me from the inside out.

But now my own energy is strong enough to protect me without any issue from the ambient void energy.

A faint smile stretches across my face.

Well, I have my new focus for the next month and a half. Maybe the next month, since I need to figure out what I’m gonna wear to the wedding. What with Belle banning me from wearing anything that isn’t a dress.

Something about her wanting to dress me up in something nice for the first time in ages. And since it’s her wedding, I decided to just let her do what she wants.

I’m not all that against skirts and dresses anymore anyways. Not since the curse broke.

Anyways, I’ve been wanting to come here and devour the buffet of Class V void creatures for a while now. I just haven’t been able to thanks to the whole ‘void energy atmosphere’ thing that would’ve ended with a death and me having to revive myself somewhere else.

Which would’ve been a pointless waste of time, since I’d die before getting anything done.

Honestly, I would just go ahead and spread the Red Plague from here and let it devour the void creatures on its own. But then I could very well have another Red Plague planet on my hands going around killing off worlds on its own.

So not a good idea.

I’d rather avoid making this little apocalypse even worse.

Certainly would make things a lot easier though…

I shake my head at the thought before floating a little bit away from the rift the Voided Overlord is still working his way through. Then I spread both my arms out and release a massive flood of Red Plague at the void creatures that are finally starting to make some headway in their little charge towards me.

And in seconds, my Red Plague begins to devour the void creatures by the thousands. Despite them being Class V void creatures.

This will make for a lovely boost in my growth.
