Wolf of the Blood Moon - Book 5 - Chapter 5 - Bloodborne Apocalypse (Patreon)

Somewhere in the Mountains

Velron counts to three in his head before initiating the plan and teleporting straight through the trees across a mountain to appear right in front of where he senses the Princess at. All while the other two cover his traces and even put up an illusion of him somewhere else to distract the Princess.

But what he finds when he tries to link the personal portal gate he made to the Princess is the distinct lack of a Princess nearby.

The hell?!

He quickly looks around in confusion. Because he can sense that the Princess is here, but he doesn’t see her and he can’t find her presence despite sensing her for some reason.

Then foxkin’s eyes finally lock on a drop of blood floating in the middle of the clearing.

Without hesitation, he immediately tries to teleport away from the clearing, only to find blood raining down from the sky, making a burning sensation begin filling him from the Princess’s plagues. And one of the plagues, a terrifying one known to many of the demons in the demon army by now, starts draining away his mana. Particularly the mana he means to use when trying to activate a skill, making the skill activation sluggish.

Which leaves him to staring up as the blood merges to form the Princess as she floats in the sky, no doubt using her Blood Manipulation to make herself fly. Then her eyes begin glowing even brighter than they already are with a red and black light with hints of purple mixed in, the light reflecting off of the blood rain with the dark red clouds filled with blood above them blocking out any light from the sky.

Just a single identify of the Princess sends a shiver running down Velron’s spine despite his level being one hundred and eighty-one levels higher than her own.

<|{Apex Predator } – Blood Lyca\n – Level 1010|>

Shit, I need to get out of here!

The Princess slowly grins as she glances in the direction of the other two Nobles, both of whom Velron senses running away. Because why would they stay there to help him? None of the three are combat focused Nobles, even if they outnumber her. And the very fact that she’s their Princess means they can’t kill her if they want to remain amongst the living themselves.

Then the Princess turns her attention back to him as she whisper mutters, “Let’s see what this can do on Nobles…”

Velron’s eyes widen with fear as her body leaks a faint red light with the black and purple glow from her eyes shining brighter. And immediately after that, he feels his body growing increasingly uncomfortable as his skin turns red and bubbles begin to form. Then he feels plagues building up all throughout his body, making it incredibly difficult for him to concentrate on teleporting.

Fuck…

The foxkin coughs out a mouthful of blood ranging consisting of various different colors, none of which are natural, as he falls down to his knees. And his sensitive hearing picks up the other two Nobles doing the same.

Velron grits his teeth and tries to push himself back to his feet, focusing on his skills once more in order to teleport out of there. But then he feels plague-ridden blood begin surrounding him, spinning in a giant sphere with him at the center and only a small air pocket. One that vanishes within seconds as he feels chains made of blood locking him down. Chains he can’t fight against on account of not being a physical focused demon.

No…

The foxkin feels his teleportation blocked after the Princess tosses a strange box into the blood and then crosses her arms high above him.

How is she…

Velron’s thought slowly grow more and more sluggish as the plagues fill his body from head to toe, and soon enough, his own blood begins leaking out of his pores, his eyes, and his mouth to join the sphere around him. Until no more blood is in his body.

And right before the Noble’s mind goes dark one final time, he has a single thought. One filled with hope.

Please… Princess… save the demons… save… the Demon King…

Scarlet

I frown after clearing away the blood. Because while I managed to kill the foxkin, the other two Nobles got away. Even after using Bloodborne Apocalypse.

Then again, that skill was made for large groups of enemies. After all, the blood plague bullets it shoots out don’t exactly harm the ones that are firing the bullets. They’re meant to harm others around them.

A pity, but I managed to deal with another one of the demon Nobles.

That should put some more relief on the front lines.

And it was a spatial magic user too, which makes me extremely glad that I took that magi-tech item made by Allen’s father with me. The one that interferes with the space-time around the area, making teleportation almost impossible unless they’re a higher level than the one who originally helped Allen’s father to make the item.

Honestly, that item really is groundbreaking.

Then again, it figures that the genius who invented magi-tech in the first place would somehow come through and invent a brand new, groundbreaking device during humanity’s lowest hour. It’s classic after all.

I glance in the direction that the other two Nobles vanished in, not finding any signs of their travel in the process. Which makes sense. After all, while I could find them when they were first here, that was because they were here. They still specialize in this sort of thing after all, so there’s no way they’d leave traces to follow.

Although, I’m still rather curious about why they bothered to try kidnapping me out here in the middle of nowhere through an ambush. It just doesn’t make sense and risks their own Nobles in the process.

Normally Lily wouldn’t be that reckless with her plans.

A few seconds pass as I consider their plan before eventually shaking my head and heading back to the base after storing all of the foxkin’s blood in my blood storage.

I still have other matters to attend to right now. No use worrying about that.
