Wolf of the Blood Moon: A Blood Magic

Book 4: Chapter 84: Planning

The Main Headquarters of the Republics Military

A bright purple light shines out from within the main meeting hall of the Military HQ where the Purple Knight of Humanity frowns, the light shining from her hands as she shows an image of the vision she had just had to all of the leaders of the military along with the other Knights of Humanity. A vision of the Demon Moon rising and of Satan rallying his forces for the war.

Of Satan coming personally to this very base.

This is bad, the General of the Republics Military states, a grave tone to his voice. And Purple just lightly nods her head, wishing she could go back to her tower.

But she cant right now. Not when the Republic is facing its worst threat yet.

Even if the people around her are making her skin crawl due to how close they are in the cramped room.

Knights of Humanity, a voice echoes into the room before a man Gabrielle annoyingly recognizes as the Chairman of the Republic appears in a flash of purple light indicating his space magic. I hereby request of you, on behalf of the Terran Republic to engage in direct combat with Satan and rid our world of the Lord of Hellfires son.

The man is no longer using his second persona as a government official and is instead wearing his flaming purple armor, his brown hair now purple with varying different shades in it and his eyes glowing purple as well. A color that bothers Gabrielle just the slightest bit due to her own Title matching the jerks colors.

I dont like him.

Will you accept my request? Jacob, otherwise known as the Spatial Ripper, asks the five Knights gathered around the long table in the meeting hall.

Why wont he just let me live in my tower in peace?

Gabrielle sighs internally at his question, but nods her head after Amelia and Will both answer in the affirmative. Meanwhile Noah just grins, seemingly lost in thought about the upcoming battle with Satan.

He really does want to fight Satan, doesnt he?

Jacob turns to look at Alexander, the last one who hasnt agreed yet, just to find the man narrowing his eyes at the Chairman.

Alexander? Jacob asks, sounding slightly trepidatious as he does so.

Gabrielle focuses on Alexander as well, genuinely curious about what hes going to say.

And what he actually says shocks everyone in the room, I think we should consider speaking with father about this.

Silence fills the room for several seconds, no one in it saying a word. Gabrielle even notices Amelias mouth opening and closing like a fish.

Then Jacob eventually breaks the silence with a short, Agreed, shocking the others even further. Because its common knowledge that the government and the Knight family doesnt get along at all.

Gabrielle doesnt particularly blame them though, since the Knights are the most powerful family in the entire planet. Even more powerful with more influence than the government itself.

If Isaac Knight actually cared about Earth, that is.

As it is, the Knight family patriarch doesnt care about humans or Earth at all despite his vast influence in society, so he never does anything.

Despite the power gap between her and Isaac, Gabrielle feels slightly fearful of the man. The only man on Earth to have ever reached Class III without help from the System. And if her visions are correct, likely to reach Class IV without the help of the System within the month.

Unlike people in the System who have to pay a toll to the System in the form of some of their mana every time they use a skill, Isaac doesnt have to pay that toll just to use his magic. And his magic isnt restrained in the way theirs is in the form of skills in the first place.

Hes also spent centuries studying his own magic, uncaring of whats gone on around him in the world. Three hundred years spent studying destruction and creation magic till the point that he was capable of countering null magic and beyond that.

He himself wont be able to help beyond fighting the Class IVs and maybe some of the lowest level Nobles, but if we used him to set a trap and used his resources

Gabrielle admits that the idea has merit to it.

And out of the corner of her eye, she finds Amelia eventually nodding her head as well.

Looks like were all agreed, Jacob declares after seeing the other Knights giving their confirmation as well. He then turns to Alexander and Amelia as he asks, Do either of you know what the monster might want in return?

Both of the Knights shake their heads, indicating that they dont know.

Jacob sighs before muttering, He better not ask for too much But then he shakes his head as well and focuses on the general as he says, General, please make sure everything is ready. We need to evacuate HQ lest everyone be killed in the battle merely by proximity.

Yes, Chairman! the general exclaims, giving the man a salute.

The Chairman then turns back to Alexander and repeats, Will you help in the battle, Blue Knight of Humanity?

Gabrielle finds herself rather surprised when the Blue Knight actually nods his head without another word, not even so much as asking for compensation.

Then she blinks as she notices something.

Is it just me, or is his face not as dead looking as normal?

She stares at him for a few seconds before eventually shrugging, deciding that she doesnt care enough about the Blue Knight to try figuring out if it was just her imagination or not.

In that case, let us prepare for the start of the real war with the demons, Spatial Ripper declares, his eyes flaring purple again. And all of the Knights nod their heads in agreement as the general returns to the room, having given orders to his men for the evacuation.

I hope I can get back to my tower again soon.
