Wolf of the Blood Moon - Book 4 - Chapter 104 - Tower in the Ocean (Patreon)

                                                                       Scarlet

In the end I do as the general suggests and find Amelia. Which doesn’t take very long considering I can smell pretty much anyone and everyone within a very large radius around this base, not to mention hear everything.

A rather unpleasant factor of my advancement only dampened a bit by the fact that I have more control over it. Since I can lower my sensitivity.

Good thing too, considering the fact that base or not, we’re still near the frontlines. Even if there’s a ceasefire right now.

And battlefields don’t tend to smell very good.

Anyways, the main reason I manage to find Amelia though is probably because she’s not hiding herself. So the moment I arrive at the cliff she’s staring out from, she turns around and smiles at me, saying, “Congratulations on reaching Class V, Scarlet.”

I give her a nod of appreciation and a brief, “Thank you,” then I move on to ask, “Would you mind if I used your training facilities? The general doesn’t want me breaking his.”

Amelia’s eyes widen and she covers her mouth at my blunt statement, as if she’s trying to smother a laugh. But I swear I hear a snort anyways. And after a second she manages to return her gaze to me, uncovering her mouth to reveal not a hint of amusement there as she says, “Of course.”

Then everything turns white around us, leaving me stumbling slightly from the sudden change.

“What the…” I mutter, only for us to appear in some sort of dome at the top of a tower in the middle of the ocean.

I quickly walk to the edge of the tower to get a better view outside, and for as far as my Class V enhanced vision can see there’s absolutely nothing but ocean. Just water, water, and more water.

Holy shit, this is…

“It actually looks pretty beautiful,” Tar comments, making me blink for a second before I nod in agreement.

It’s currently dawn outside, so the sun is rising. And the sight of the dawn in the middle of the ocean is rather breathtaking.

I smile a little at the sight.

Yeah. It is beautiful.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the ocean at this time of day before. And the only times I crossed the ocean on Tartarus were when I was crossing the Bloody Duchy with the help of those bodyguards – which I kind of wonder where are now – and when I was being chased across the ocean by the lunatic.

Neither really gave me time to actually enjoy the beauty of the ocean. And neither were at dawn either, considering Tartarus’s inverse day and night cycles.

Several seconds pass in silence as I look out into the ocean before I smile even brighter.

“What’s up?” Tar asks, landing on my shoulder.

Nothing much. Just thinking about everything that’s happened over the last years.

About my trip to Class V.

I reach up to pet him as Amelia walks up beside me to look at the ocean and says, “This is my tower.”

It is a really nice location for a tower, I have to admit.

“Well,” Tar begins, responding to my thoughts before Amelia spoke as his gaze focuses on the horizon as well, “you have been through a lot.”

Yep. And I’m sure I’ll be going through even more in the future.

Although hopefully I won’t be tortured again by another lunatic.

Tar doesn’t snort at that, instead showing a dark expression on his face that tells me that I probably shouldn’t joke about that subject.

You mentioned before that the last requirement according to the prophecy to upgrade Gradual Corruption Nullification is to just use the skill a bunch?

“Yeah,” Tar says, his mood shifting again now that the topic has changed. “I can’t say the exact amount, but you have to nullify a certain amount of corruption.”

That’s not bad.

I’m assuming there’s no time limit? No requirements on that either?

“You assume correctly,” Tar says with a nod.

Hmm.

In that case, I should probably head to the Arctic. Since undead often love their corruption.

That’s also where most of the spider demons are too, and those love corruption just as much. Maybe even more, considering the arachnae.

Although the place will be tougher to handle since a lot of undead don’t have blood. Which will limit my offensive capabilities by quite a bit.

Then again, some of my new upgraded and merged skills should be a large help with that.

I smile at the thought of the merged skills. Something that doesn’t happen often.

On that note, I open my status and stare at it for a bit. But with my rare and lower rarity skills hidden, since my status is starting to be a little full. And only after I distribute my free points.

“That is one monster of a list of skills…” Tar mutters, sounding more than a little flabbergasted.

I just smirk at his response.

And my total mana… it very nearly tripled from its previous amount. Somewhere between two to three times its previous amount.

A very nice benefit to reaching Class V.

Not to mention the new stats per level.

It is a nice looking status.

The two of us stare at it for a few more seconds before I close out of it and return to staring at the ocean for a little while.

Then I eventually turn to Amelia and ask, “So where’s the training hall?”

It’s time to test out my new power.

And then I’ll be trying to advance Gradual Corruption Nullification.

Because I will end this war.
