Wolf of the Blood Moon - Book 5 - Chapter 87 - Ruler of Blood (Patreon)

Scarlet

I find myself feeling… odd… when awareness returns to me. Kind of like how it used to feel when you’re really groggy after having slept for waaaay too long.

But I’m not really given very long to think about what’s going on or push past my grogginess, because soon enough a wave of System Messages appear in my vision.

{Level 2500 Dragon defeated and devoured.}

{Three thousand Skill Points are awarded for defeating a legendary creature.}

{Two thousand Skill Points are awarded for reforming your reality after it’s almost completely erased.}

{One thousand Skill Points are awarded for more than five mythic skills.}

{Five hundred Skill Points are awarded for dying more than once and reforming.}

{Five hundred Skill Points are awarded for killing a creature of two hundred and fifty or more levels above you without help.}

…

To my surprise, the messages about points continue on and on and on until I eventually end up with over ten thousand Skill Points. Then the level-up messages begin to flow.

{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 2214. Ten Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

…

{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 2321. Ten Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

And finally, after the level-up messages, the universal and regular notifications start appearing.

Starting with an achievement-locked mythic skill that I’ve been wanting to have for quite a while now.

I blink at that as the people around me talk, but I still feel too groggy to really pay attention to what they’re doing. Then the next one appears.

A faint smile stretches across my face as I instinctively open my Skill Store and purchase both of the mythic skills. Then I go ahead and check the next notifications.

So many notifications… so sleepy…

Dragon… Slayer?

I suddenly feel a rush of power entering my body, making my eyes shoot open as I wake up fully. Most likely the result of my new… transcendent… skill?

What’s a transcendent skill?

Wait, it said it was one of those redacted skills, or, rather, a new one. So I guess the redacted word was transcendent.

Another notification appears, making my eyes narrow slightly, now fully awake.

Now that’s the one I remember seeing before. And I was right about it being an upgrade to Blood Domain.

And immediately after getting that terrifying skill, I feel a sense of awareness of everything around me. And along with it, an understanding of all the blood in everyone. Every last person nearby.

I feel like I can create blood at will. Real blood. Not just manifested blood.

I can also erase the blood or manipulate the blood of anyone near me. Although I can also tell that some of their blood is harder to mess with than others.

Like the Demon King who I now realize is still holding my hand, with Leonidas holding my other hand, Amelia hugging my head, and Allen and Cynthia both with a hand on one of my legs each. All of whom are crying, not even saying anything anymore while they’re doing it.

A smile stretches across my face at the sight, and I tighten my grip a little on Leonidas and Arkaz’s hands as the universal notifications finally start coming in.

One after another, all the way till it ends up hitting around a dozen fucking notifications.

Probably spammed everyone and confused the tournament competitors during their compe..ti..tion…

I stiffen up as I remember the competition, only for Arkaz – who apparently calmed down at some point during the notification spam – to say, “You’ve missed four rounds of the competition, and your fae missed two.”

That calms me down a little.

Better four than the rest of the tournament.

It also means that I wasn’t unconscious for as long as I expected I would be.

I feel very conflicted about having missed the competitions, but eventually I settle down again at the thought that I should hopefully be able to… oh, wait, these aren’t combat competitions. So my new powers won’t matter…

Fuck.

Well, rest in peace my points…

“Congrats on the three thousand points you got for killing the dragon by the way,” Leonidas suddenly says, making my head snap towards him as my eyes widen.

Huh?
