Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Book 6: Chapter 61

Scarlet

When I finally wake up, I find myself naked in a large orb of energy. Both blood and null energy.

So I quickly create clothes for myself before dispelling the energy and stretching. Feeling all of the stiffness of my body fading away in moments. Even if I still feel lethargic despite that.

Which makes sense. I haven’t actually moved outside of my mind space for like two or so decades.

According to Shirou at least.

Speaking of Shirou, I glance to the side when a bright white light shines forth, and she appears out of nowhere in front of me. Only for me to raise my head when the rumbling of what sounds like thunder echo throughout the entire universe. Then bolts of crimson energy begin striking out of nowhere at the girl.

I just appear in front of her and slap the bolts away, though. Feeling just a bit tingly around my hand where I slap them. Making me look at my hand to see some very faint redness on my fingers.

Redness that fades almost instantly as it’s healed.

And after I slap away a couple more bolts, sometimes using blood to do it instead of my physical body, the universe tries to make bigger bolts to distract me as it goes around me.

All of the bolts of crimson lightning halt before fading away like nothing ever happened.

I nod my head in satisfaction and turn back towards Shirou again with a smile on my face.

“Welcome back to the mortal universe, Shirou,” I tell her as I float forwards and hug her.

One of if not the first times I’ve ever actually hugged a person of my own accord without them moving first in my life.

She immediately hugs me back, squeezing me as tightly as she can despite me not really feeling much of any force myself. What with her not having anywhere near as much physical strength as me thanks to my devouring of the void invasion and the Voided Overlord making me brutally overpowered now. Even moreso than I was before.

“Thank you… thank you so much…” Shirou mutters while hugging me, but I just quietly stroker her hair without saying a word.

If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

We stay like this for several minutes before I finally separate from her and turn towards the direction of Earth. Just spreading my senses across the entire universe to see what condition it is in.

And interestingly enough, everything seems very peaceful.

Although this half of the universe is just a dead zone now.

I turn my attention to Earth to find quite the number of demons living on it now. And to my surprise, none of them seem to have any problems with the humans. Vice versa as well.

Interesting.

But what surprises me even more is the sight of some species from some planets on other planets.

Including some elves and dwarves on Earth and Tartarus.

What the what?

What happened while I was taking a short nap?

“A lot,” Tar’s voice echoes in my head before the tanuki appears in front of me and immediately moves up to snuggle against my chest. With my arms instinctively reaching out to hold him as he does so. “Thank you for coming back…”

I find myself more than a little surprised by how weak his voice sounds right now. But before I ask any questions, I just smile at him and hold him in my arms.

Guess I went to holding Shirou to holding Tarankar.

Another several minutes pass before he finally raises his head to look at me, only to glance at Shirou and tilt his head in confusion as he asks, “Who’s that?”

Oh, right. No one but me knows about her.

Shirou floats forwards while opening her mouth, only for me to blink as I remember something. So before she can say anything, I close my eyes and focus on her own eyes.

Then I flare my marks for a moment and control her eyes. Restoring them within seconds.

And when I open my eyes again, I find her frozen in shock with her mouth wide open.

Wide enough to catch bugs. If there were any in space.

I go ahead and introduce Shirou for her, “This is a good friend who I spent the last several years talking to inside of my head. They’re also a Class VI being, but they’re what you might call a diviner.” I turn to look down at Tar. “She’s the one who foretold the prophecy in the first place.”

Tar opens his mouth wide to say something, only to close it again. Then he opens it and closes it once more like a fish.

A sight that has me chuckling.

Until I’m tackled by another hug from Shirou as she returns to muttering ‘thank you’s over and over again.

Just this time for my healing her eyes instead of my freeing her.

She had said before that the reason she couldn’t heal her eyes was because no one was strong enough to do it. But she didn’t really consider the fact that blood magic is one of the best types of healing magic in existence.

And blood magic is my domain.

Certainly goes to show how selfless she became in the end of her life, even if she was incredibly selfish in the start of her life if her story has any merit.

Actually, she reminds me of how I used to be at the start of her life. When she first ran away from her father, the king.

She’s even a princess, same as me.

That has me smirking in amusement.

Although I get the feeling some of her story was fibbed a little. And she left a lot out as well.

Well, that aside, I focus on the two who are both still clinging to me while either speechless or repeating the same thing over and over again.

This might take a while before either is ready to actually talk.

So I’ll just take a peek at Earth for now.
