Chapter 116: The King of Blood
788 Words
Dark crimson energy exploded across the temple.
The Blood King’s transformation was terrifying to witness.
Massive shadow wings stretched behind him, scraping against the ancient stone pillars.
His armor hardened into dark crimson plates that pulsed with power.
His glowing red eyes burned brighter than ever.
The pressure of his aura alone made the entire chamber tremble.
Darius slowly stepped backward.
“Yep… that’s definitely his final form.”
Roran tightened his grip on his sword.
“We need a plan.”
But Kael stepped forward without hesitation.
His golden Lycan aura ignited like a blazing sun.
“Aria.”
She looked at him.
“I’ll handle him up close,” Kael said firmly.
“You focus on controlling the Moon power.”
Aria nodded.
“Be careful.”
Kael smirked slightly.
“When am I not?”
With a powerful roar, Kael lunged forward.
His body shifted further into his Lycan form—his claws lengthened, his muscles expanded, and golden energy surged around him like flames.
He struck the Blood King with incredible speed.
Their claws collided with a thunderous impact.
A shockwave blasted across the temple floor.
The Blood King laughed.
“Yes!”
His crimson wings flared outward as he pushed Kael back.
“Now this is a worthy fight!”
He swung his arm violently.
A wave of blood energy shot toward Kael.
Kael dodged and slashed across the Blood King’s armor.
Sparks flew from the impact.
But the armor barely cracked.
Roran joined the fight immediately.
He rushed forward and struck the Blood King from behind.
The Blood King spun around and blocked the attack with one wing.
The force of the block sent Roran sliding across the floor.
Darius jumped in next.
Dark energy exploded from his hands and slammed into the Blood King’s side.
This time the attack actually forced him to take a step back.
The Blood King looked impressed.
“You mortals are surprisingly stubborn.”
But his crimson aura surged again.
With one violent burst of power—
Kael, Roran, and Darius were all thrown backward at once.
They crashed into the temple walls.
Across the chamber, Aria watched the fight with growing determination.
She could feel the Moon’s energy flowing through her stronger than ever before.
But she knew something.
Kael couldn’t defeat the Blood King alone.
The Blood King turned toward her again.
His crimson eyes gleamed with dark excitement.
“Yes…”
He slowly walked toward her.
“Show me the true power of the Moon.”
Aria raised her glowing hands.
Silver light gathered around her again.
The entire temple began glowing with moon energy.
Ancient runes across the walls lit up.
The temple itself seemed to respond to her presence.
The Blood King paused.
For the first time—
He looked slightly cautious.
“You’re drawing power from the temple itself…”
Aria’s silver aura expanded across the chamber.
“Yes.”
Her voice was calm.
“This temple was built for the Moon.”
The Blood King laughed.
“And yet I conquered it.”
He launched forward with terrifying speed.
His crimson claws aimed directly at her.
But before he could reach her—
Kael appeared between them.
His golden claws blocked the attack.
The clash shook the entire temple.
Kael growled fiercely.
“You’re not touching her.”
The Blood King smiled darkly.
“You really do love her.”
Kael’s eyes burned with fury.
“More than you’ll ever understand.”
Behind them, Aria lifted both hands toward the ceiling.
Moonlight burst through cracks in the temple roof.
The silver beam poured down directly onto the central platform.
Her power grew stronger.
Stronger than ever before.
Darius stared in amazement.
“Uh… guys?”
He pointed upward.
“I think she’s about to do something big.”
The Blood King felt it too.
His expression darkened.
“No.”
His crimson aura exploded violently again.
“You will not awaken the full Moon power!”
He pushed Kael back and rushed toward Aria again.
But Kael roared and tackled him before he could reach her.
Both kings crashed into the temple floor in a violent clash.
Meanwhile, Aria’s silver light continued growing.
The entire chamber filled with radiant moonlight.
The temple voice echoed once more.
“The Moon’s Daughter stands at the final gate.”
Aria’s eyes glowed like shining stars.
“The final power awaits.”
The Blood King realized what was happening.
His voice turned furious.
“If she awakens that power—”
He blasted Kael backward and rushed toward her.
But it was already too late.
The silver light exploded across the entire temple.
Aria had begun unlocking the final power of the Moon.
