Wolf of the Blood Moon - Book 5 - Chapter 98 - The Warden's Reign (Patreon)

The Stadium

“Don’t worry, I’m using the remaining stockpiled energy in the System to do this,” Titania adds after noticing Scarlet’s distrustful look. “No one will be able to negate the Red Plague again after this.”

And after saying that, Titania immediately teleports to a spot high in the air above the arena. A spot where she will wait. And where she will watch.

As the Wolf of the Blood Moon is truly sired.

Where she earns her name.

Then, just as Titania foresaw all those years ago, the Wolf of the Blood Moon, Warden of the Red Plague, Dragon Slayer, and the other Titles she’s gathered, floats up into the air, a faint grin stretching across her face. Meanwhile the other contestants all focus their gazes on her.

But Titania can already see the droplets of blood beginning to appear all across the entire arena. And in mere seconds, the droplets all begin to shoot towards the sky of the artificial arena, forming a sphere. One that grows larger and larger every second.

Soon enough the audience grows speechless as the torrents of blood mixed with some of Scarlet’s own Red Plague rush into the massive sphere, making it grow so large that it’s begun to dwarf the people below.

So large that in just a few minutes, it grows to the size of a small moon.

One emitting an eerie crimson glow.

Then Scarlet transforms into her quadrupedal wolf form and lets out a vicious sounding howl that leads to some of the contestants’ ears bleeding. Blood that quickly joins the moon.

And Titania watches with a mixture of terror, awe, and relief as the Wolf of the Blood Moon tilts her head downwards, her glaring radiant crimson eyes searing their way into everyone’s minds while the blood moon above her begins to fall.

After a brief pause, all of the contestants immediately begin focusing on attacking the blood moon. Including the Demon Lords, Knights, and all of the other contestants. Except the Wolf of the Blood Moon’s cousin, who has an orb of regular blood around her, protecting her from any attack.

But none of the attacks leave a dent in the falling blood moon. In fact, Titania sees the moon growing larger from their attacks merely feeding the Red Plague within the moon.

And by now, the White Knight of Humanity’s Title-Bearing Mythic skill called Erase is unusable on her own daughter or her skills thanks to the level gap that has grown between them. Leaving the White Knight unable to do anything as all of the blood she nullifies is replaced just as quickly with more blood.

“Behold! Every denizen of Earth and Tartarus! The Warden’s Reign has just begun!” Titania declares with so much emotion in her words that she feels tears begin to run down her face. At the prophecy finally beginning to reach its climax. A prophecy she has risked so much of her life for. “Behold the power of the Wolf of the Blood Moon!”

Then the blood moon finally crashes on the arena, instantly annihilating everyone and making all of the contestants reappear in the arena again. All except Aria, who is still in the arena unharmed.

An arena filled to the brim with an entire ocean of glowing red blood. Which leads to all of them being killed again soon after except for the Knights of Humanity and the Demon Lords, who all manage to fly out of the ocean of blood.

Then the ones who didn’t escape the ocean reappear for a third time, and die for a third time before appearing above the arena itself with their fae next to them, all showing their own shock.

But the Wolf of the Blood Moon doesn’t finish things there. She proceeds to appear right in front of each of the Knights of Humanity before eliminating them without so much as giving them time to blink, tearing them apart in instants.

And she does it a second time after they reappear, making them appear outside of the arena again as well. All showing their own shock.

By now the audience is split between cheering so loudly their voices have gone hoarse, and staying completely silent out of terror.

Terror at the sight of a new being who may even be on par with the Demon King himself.

Or even stronger than him.

At this point, all three of the Demon Lords in the arena just stare at Scarlet as she returns to her lycan form and floats in the air in front of them, a confident smirk on her face. Then she raises a single hand and clenches it, taking control of the blood in the Demon Lords’ bodies before tearing them apart from the inside out.

With the sole exception of the Blood Calamity, who manages to stop it through his own Blood Domain.

So after she does this once more to the other two Demon Lords to deal with their last mark, the Wolf of the Blood Moon is once again left floating alone in the air next to the Blood Calamity.

With her cousin casually floating far away from the two in a bubble of blood.

“This is the power that’s necessary to save the universe,” Titania declares, her voice echoing throughout the stadium over the cheers. “It’s the power I spent the last two millennia working towards creating. And even this power is not enough to deal with the Voided Overlord.”

Her words silence the audience as everyone focuses on her, not paying attention to the very short battle that occurs through pure brute force between father and daughter in the arena.

“In order for us to have a chance to save the universe,” Titania continues, her gaze never leaving the Wolf of the Blood Moon as she defeats her father in the arena twice, leaving her all alone there other than her cousin who she is still protecting. “The Wolf of the Blood Moon must reach Class VI.”
