Chapter 275 The Blood Moon Summoned
Under Sophia's coercion, the members of Night Blades finally divulged all the information they knew. However, they were not high-ranking members within Night Blades, which meant that the intelligence they possessed was not particularly valuable.
Ultimately, Sophia only learned that Elder Howard was collaborating with another powerful entity in Shadow City. As for who this powerful being was, or how incredibly strong they might be, the Night Blades members had no idea.
After sizing up the people in front of her, Sophia coldly remarked, "It seems what you said is indeed the truth. I won't kill you, but I won't keep you in the shelter game any longer. I will kick you all out of the shelter game!"
Sophia took out a special item from her pocket. This item could expel anyone from the shelter game without threatening their life.
The members of Night Blades were actually quite reluctant. They believed that only within the shelter game could they gain greater power. However, before they could take any action, Sophia expelled them all in one swift motion.
After completing her task, Sophia turned her gaze towards the center of Shadow City. Even though Sophia had clashed with Irving and the others, she still felt deeply concerned about the safety of everyone else.
To herself, Sophia murmured, "Please don't get into any dire situations! I'll hurry to join you as soon as I can!"
With that, Sophia moved forward at the fastest speed possible.
Meanwhile, at the center of Shadow City, Elder Howard was engaged in a fierce battle with Irving and Benjamin. Although Elder Howard had successfully eroded Wendy with the black mist, Wendy still managed to escape his control using her innate assassin skills.
Wendy helped Irving and Benjamin create a space for their decisive battle against Elder Howard. Naturally, Irving and Benjamin were not about to miss such an opportunity.
Irving directly tapped into the power of the Primordial Flame Pearl, absorbing a substantial amount of dark energy into his body, which he then unleashed through his staff in the form of dark magic.
Although the black mist surrounding Elder Howard was also powered by dark forces, the dark magic was entirely different from the dark energy of the mist.
In the clash of dark powers, the strength of the black mist controlled by Elder Howard was significantly weakened. Seizing this opportunity, Benjamin approached Elder Howard from behind, weapon in hand.
"I'm going to make you pay for this! You will definitely regret kidnapping the president!" Benjamin exclaimed as he launched an attack on Elder Howard, leaning in to whisper in his ear.
Upon hearing those words, Elder Howard's expression suddenly shifted to one of panic. He realized he was in a dire situation, and without hesitation, he shouted, "What are you waiting for?! It's time to strike!"
Howard's words successfully distracted Benjamin and Irving. Seizing the opportunity, he evaded Benjamin's attack and swiftly retreated to a spot 100 meters away from both of them, enveloped in black mist.
"It seems you've gotten a lot smarter since before. You've even learned to distract us during battle by feeding us false information," Irving said with a smile upon witnessing this turn of events.
Elder Howard coldly replied, "Do you really think I'm trying to deceive you? You're gravely mistaken! I wouldn't bother to deceive you because you have no chance of winning in a direct confrontation! Your true enemy is about to arrive!"
After finishing his statement, Elder Howard transformed into a swirl of black mist and vanished quickly. He intended to take Vicky into the depths of the ruins to hide. Find adventures at m_v l|e-NovelBin.net
Upon seeing this, Benjamin and Irving naturally chose to pursue him. However, they had barely made any progress when a tall werewolf blocked their path.
Irving, upon seeing the werewolf, immediately called out, "Are you still going to be my enemy? Don't forget, we were allies before. Night Blades is our common enemy—don't let Elder Howard's manipulation turn you against me!"
Irving was addressing the werewolf leader, believing they had previously worked together. Even if their paths had diverged for some reason, they could still unite against Night Blades.
The towering werewolf glared at Irving and Benjamin with his crimson eyes but did not respond to Irving's question. He merely stared at the two of them.
"Have you completely lost your mind? If you've truly lost all sense, then don't blame me for being rude!" Irving declared, unwilling to waste any more time.
To him, Elder Howard had already taken Vicky away, which meant she was now in even greater danger. No matter what, he had to rescue her as quickly as possible.
As Irving charged toward the Werewolf God, the Werewolf God raised his arm. Suddenly, Irving felt an unusually powerful force slam into him. Under the astonished gazes of Benjamin and Wendy, Irving was sent flying and crashed into a distant building.
The towering werewolf then slowly spoke, "You actually think you are worthy of collaborating with me? Do you not realize that I am a true deity?! Are you unaware of the title of the Werewolf God?!"
Upon hearing the title "Werewolf God," Benjamin immediately understood the gravity of the situation. He grabbed Wendy and dashed toward Irving's location. Benjamin was acutely aware that even with Wendy's help, they were no match for the Werewolf God. Although Irving had just failed in his attack, they could only ensure their safety under Irving's protection.
When Benjamin and Wendy reached Irving's side, he had already regained his composure. Irving crawled out of the rubble and coldly stared in the direction of the Werewolf God.
"Another deity has arrived! I've encountered many who claimed to be gods! But those so-called deities are far from powerful, and in the end, each one has been vanquished by me!"
After declaring this, Irving pulled out his staff. He then harnessed the power of the Primordial Flame Pearl, combining his chaotic energy with the strength of the Taikoo Divine Clan that the Pearl possessed.
Such immense power caused the tip of the staff to warp and twist. Under Irving's control, the Staff of Calamity unleashed an unimaginable force. A blue-purple beam shot rapidly toward the Werewolf God.
The Werewolf God did not attempt to dodge; he simply stood his ground and was struck directly by the blue-purple beam.
At the moment the beam hit the Werewolf God, a violent explosion erupted, accompanied by a shockwave. The explosion was visible to everyone within the Desolate Canyon.
Irving, Benjamin, and Wendy, who were very close to the Werewolf God, felt the brunt of the shockwave.
Irving was barely able to stand firm thanks to the protection of his staff. However, Benjamin and Wendy were directly thrown away by the shockwave. Even Elder Howard, who hadn't moved far, was affected by the blast. He struggled to maintain his balance, but despite this, he did not relinquish control over Vicky.
At the edge of Shadow City, Sophia was also impacted by the shockwave. She stared in disbelief at the source of the explosion and the ensuing chaos. "Was that spell too powerful? Could such a formidable spell have been cast by Elder Howard?" Sophia thought to herself, feeling that this operation had been recklessly executed. She regretted not having stopped Irving from the very beginning.
However, Sophia's assumption was incorrect; the attack had been initiated by Irving. As the shockwave and explosion subsided, Irving coldly gazed at the spot where the Werewolf God had been. He was acutely aware that the Werewolf God had not been vanquished, as he could still sense the deity's presence.
Before long, the silhouette of the Werewolf God emerged from the smoke. Although he appeared somewhat disheveled, he had not sustained any serious injuries.
"It seems I underestimated you a bit! The power of the spell you just used is indeed formidable! But that doesn't mean you can win this battle! I have yet to unleash my true power!" the Werewolf God declared, lifting his gaze toward the sky.
He then let out a chilling howl that sent shivers down Irving's spine. As the howl echoed, Irving felt a metallic taste of blood rising in the atmosphere around him. The scent grew stronger with each passing moment, until Irving felt as though he was surrounded by blood.
Instinctively, Irving looked up, and his eyes widened at the sight of a massive blood moon hanging ominously in the sky. The blood moon loomed like a crimson eye, fixated on Irving.
"Do you see it? This is the source of my true power! The great blood moon, revered by all werewolves! As the Werewolf God, I can summon the blood moon with ease!"
The Werewolf God was now bathed in the pink light emanating from the blood moon. His form appeared significantly more imposing, and his strength had increased correspondingly. Most importantly, his wounds were healing rapidly, indicating that the blood moon greatly enhanced the Werewolf God's ability to sustain himself in battle.
"I will make you suffer the most excruciating fate today! I will tear you apart, your flesh and blood will become my nourishment, and your soul will be sacrificed to the great blood moon!"
The Werewolf God's raspy, terrifying voice echoed as he charged toward Irving with ghostly speed. Everything was happening so quickly that Irving found himself unable to react in time.
