Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Scarlet

The same old process repeats itself over and over again for days on end. And after five more days, the twenty-third competition draws to a close with me and Tar still having a two thousand four hundred and one point lead over second place. But considering that we had an almost three thousand point lead over second place by the start of the twenty-first round, that doesnt bode all that well.

We should be find though. Even if this keeps up.

Guess Tar was being honest when he said he probably didnt stand a chance against his siblings.

Which makes sense when I think about it. The competitions between the fae shouldnt have anything to do with combat. Theyre all about strategy, decisions, intelligence, and the like. Most of which are gained through experience and age.

Both things Tar is lacking compared to the other higher ranking and older fae.

After the twenty-third competition, it takes another week for the twenty-fourth competition to come to a close. With our lead dropping down to about two thousand two hundred and thirty points between us and second place. Then it drops down further six days later when the twenty-fifth competition comes to a close and our lead goes to two thousand one hundred points on the dot.

Overall, the only thing worrying me is the thirtieth and final competition. Since the tenth and twentieth competitions gave a lot more points than the others. Which means the lead is more at risk during that competition than the others.

I yawn while still floating high in the air even after all this time, briefly wondering if Ive just turned into Earths guard dog or something. Since I dont really do anything other than sitting up here playing video games and watching TV while occasionally stopping to deal with Corrupted Fractures.

Makes for a very boring past couple months.

My thoughts come to a halt when another Void Assault begins, only for me to be rather surprised when a Class IV Corrupted Fracture appears. So, after quickly dealing with the other Fractures, I decide to go check it out by teleporting my main body into the clone I have nearby. Something I also purchased a skill for.

Once I arrive, I quickly create a bunch of blood around each void creature that comes out of the Corrupted Fracture before solidifying it all into little blood metal coffins over the creatures. All while I walk over towards the Fracture Core.

I purse my lips after stopping right in front of the thing, only briefly glancing to the side when several Guardians and some demons begin to arrive. All of whom are Class V, with some Class IVs.

Guess Im not the only one curious about the first Class IV Corrupted Fracture of the Void Invasion.

Up till now all of the Corrupted Fractures have been Class III and below without a single Class IV or Class V. Which has definitely been a good thing considering the Class IVs I have sealed away.

Class IV void creatures are the ravagers. The ones that are basically just large blobs of tentacles, claws, and scales the size of a house that likes to pull everything living nearby it into its mass in order to absorb them. Which doesnt bode well with a Corrupted Fracture full of several dozen of the buggers, along with the regular void creatures mixed in with them.

Seeing as theyre, once again, the size of a damned house.

Every. Last. One of them.

Good thing this Class IV Corrupted Fracture appeared in a park outside. Otherwise any building they spawned in wouldve been destroyed the moment the things appeared.

Even with it being a park though, quite a few buildings were destroyed along with a lot of the natural landscape.

A pity, but nothing can be done about that. At least not by me.

A nature magic Guardian or demon can deal with it.

Your Highness, some of the Class V Guardians and all of the demons state as they get near me. And if Im being honest, I dont remember most of them.

Ive always had trouble remembering names of people Ive never interacted with, so the chances that Id remember these people from the few meetings Ive attended for Class Vs is rather miniscule.

Putting that aside, I state, Watch out for Class IV Corrupted Fractures from now on. Take these specimens as samples or test subjects to train Guardians and demons.

The most serious looking Guardian near me nods his head before I break the Fracture Core and teleport back to my lovely little throne in the sky and lie back down again. Having already dealt with all the other Corrupted Fractures of this particular Void Assault.

Its not a good sign that stronger Corrupted Fractures are beginning to appear. Especially when the fae tournaments third arc is only halfway finished, with them only now starting the twenty-sixth competition.

Theres not much I can do right now though. Not when the fae are all gone and all I have to do is protect the planet.

Just means I have to deal with the Class IV Corrupted Fractures too. And have to be more careful to catch those quickly than the other Fractures.

The Class III Fractures are annoying since they have those broodmothers that like to endlessly give birth to more voidlings and other void creatures. But the Class I and Class II void creatures arent really a problem in the slightest. Hence why I often leave those to the Guardians and demons.

But a Class III or Class IV Corrupted Fracture is a different matter entirely. They can grow worse and worse the longer theyve been open.

So the best I can do is seal them away to give the Guardians and demons a chance to learn how to deal with them. Since I cant risk them running wild and killing a bunch of civilians.

I let out a sigh, beginning to feel more and more overwhelmed with all of this the longer it goes on.

Why couldnt these fractures wait a bit longer for me to go on the offensive?

Its just plain rude.
