Book 5: Chapter 82: Dragon and Wolf


    <strong>Scarlet</strong>


    Huh. Well then. This is not what I was expecting.


    I stare at the massive fucking dragon thats currently standing in the volcano while staring back at me. And after a few seconds, it begins to p its wings and fly up into the air, following which we float on opposing sides of the crater facing each other.


    Hmm. Yeah, thisll be harder than I thought.


    Tar.


    <strong>Got it, </strong>he says without any hesitation. <strong>Good luck.</strong>


    Then he vanishes. Because even he can be hurt by my Red gue, and if the battle gets bad enough, then it might even spill into the void where he usually watches.


    And now, with Tar gone and a massive wall ofva blocking the otherpetitors from interfering, I finally let a full-blown grin stretch across my face. I even let out augh, probably shocking more than a few of the viewers.


    My blood feels like its boiling right now. Like it wants out.


    Like it wants to eat the fucking dragon in front of me.


    And what self-respecting Warden wouldnt let their ward eat? Its only natural after all.


    So I let the Red gue out, near instantly filling the sky with nothing but Red gue. Just glowing red blood for as far as the eye can see. Which, for the dragon, cant be very far.


    To my surprise, the dragon  who I can see through my blood since its my own blood  suddenly begins to glow with a dark ck light. Then ck mes erupt all across its body, fighting back against the reality devouring gue with its own reality devouring hellmes.


    What shocks me more than the dragons ability to fight back at all though, is the sight of the ck mes actuallypeting with the Red gue without just instantly being devoured.


    A sight that proves just how much stronger this dragons hellfire ispared to Vorgrim or Red.


    The dragon rushes through the sky full of Red gue before raising a w and striking me faster than I can respond, sending me flying through the sky until I crash into the ground. And when I look back at the creature, the only signs of damage on it from its strike is some small ck mist rising from its body, proving its blood to be ck, along with the slow deterioration on its ws that doesntst long. Deterioration from my Red gue blood it cut through.


    A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the vition.


    Then, just as quickly as the ws deteriorated, they regrow without the dragon even looking at them.


    My grin grows even wider.


    Its about time I found something that could put up a real challenge again, even against my Red gue.


    Im not holding back this time around.


    The Red gue Ive already released suddenly shes once, then twice, and finally a third time. Then it all rushes back towards me and converges into my body. But it doesnt end there as I quickly begin growingrger andrger, using the condensed Red gue in my body to increase my mass to match the dragons. And, of course, I make my clothes grow too. A benefit of them being made of Red gue.


    Something Id realized during my void creature hunt. I can deform and reform my body in any way I want so long as its my body. So long as I dont create new parts and the like.


    But the skill never specified a size that I had to reform myself at.


    Both the dragon and I end up reaching incredible heights in the middle of the ck me and glowing red blood covered wastnds around us, with therge pirs ofva still blocking anyone from getting near.


    Then I go ahead and push things further by transforming into my quadrupedal beast form, leaving me standing at almost two dozen meters in height, with ck fur streaked with crimson, glowing crimson eyes, and razor sharp ws made out of pure metallicized Red gue.


    I raise my head before howling at the sky once and lowering my head again. Meanwhile dozens upon dozens of creatures made out of my Red gue blood albeit diseased even further with a slightly grayish tint to them appear all around me. The creatures more often than not look like malformed wolves, but with no flesh. Just blood. Although some of them are even made out of metallicized Red gue blood.


    And theyre all ranging from the size of a normal wolf to several meters in height as they all howl or growl at the dragon who is currently looking around at me and them.


    Of course, I also feel the massive boost from both Blood Thirst  which I made sure to max out before arriving here through the wonderful help of the monsters on the way  and Apex Predator. And blood soon begins to rain down from the skies above the volcanic region filled with Red gue that kills off the area around us even further.


    The first time Ive used Rain of Blood with Red gue for a while now, since thest time I did it I had to quickly stop. Because it began to try devouring the entire world.


    Which, even if it was an empty world with no one on it, wasnt a very good idea.


    This time around is different. The Rain of Blood version of the Red gue is weaker even if it can devour a, so it shouldnt break the reality around us. And the others are all far away from theva pir by now, with the exception of Amelia who seems to be attempting to break through it. With no luck.


    And,st but certainly not least, I begin to drain the energy, power, life energy, mana, whatever I can that isnt life force out of every being within my range. Whether thatspetitors or monsters.


    I just drain it all while watching the dragon, who, to my surprise, appears to be waiting for me to finish my preparations.


    How kind of it.


    Looks like dragons really are arrogant in real life too. Not just in games.


    Lets y, I growl out loud using that odd non-speaking speaking thing that blood lycans can do while transformed.


    And immediately after saying it, both me and the dragon rush towards each other, one limb raised to sh.
