Book 5: Chapter 9: Hell on Tartarus

Scarlet

I let out a long and drawn out sigh as I tap my foot in impatience, simply letting the zombies around me each take a single bite out of my arm. On an already wounded spot, of course. Otherwise they wouldnt be able to scratch me.

Then I blow up the zombie in questions head with nothing more than a tiny needle of blood I made from Blood Manipulation.

A rather long and drawn out process that has me wondering if I can try getting a game console or something out here that the demons wont just destroy. But I eventually drop that plan since I dont think it would work out very well.The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñòv€l-B1n.

Im pretty sure the zombies biting my arms would make playing a game rather difficult.

And Im pretty sure anyone passing by would think you need to go see a psychiatrist, Tar mutters, but I ignore him.

How many more instances of corruption do I need to clear out, anyways?

He doesnt say anything for a few seconds before answering, A lot.

I just turn an unamused stare towards him without saying a word.

The tanuki shrugs his little tanuki shoulders from his place floating several meters above the ground, outside of the zombies range.

I eventually let out a sigh before suddenly stiffening up, the process of which sends all of the zombies on me flying before they turn into little pastes on the trees around us as I focus on the powerful life source I sense approaching with life sense. And within seconds, my wounds all heal and my armor repairs itself.

Then I activate my armors crest, making it appear on my chest as I call out, I know you wouldnt approach me like this to attack. Lily isnt stupid enough to send someone to do that. So why are you here?

It takes a second, but the source of the life energy and powerful mana enters my sight through the trees, revealing themselves to be a vampire.

Would he notice it if I stepped on Tartarus myself? Or if I tried entering his castle?

Its not likely, Tar says, surprising me. He has completely sealed himself in, and no one can enter his castle at all. Neither can he sense anything around him since his focus is entirely on moving the planet without killing the inhabitants in it or destroying the planet itself.

The very fact that hes worrying about destroying the planet on accident is a terrifying notion.

Actually, come to think of it, if he can move the planet then why didnt he move it towards us?

Because he doesnt know where in the universe Earth is, Tar answers. He only knows where the void invasion is because of the pure power sent out through the rift from the Class VI voided overlord. Something that can be sensed from halfway across the universe.

Oh. Thats rather frightening.

What could I possibly do to help this situation? I ask the Count in front of me before adding, From what my fae partner has told me, there shouldnt be anything I can do.

The Count grimaces and asks, Are you sure?

If you didnt already know, Gramps wouldnt be able to sense me since hes so busy, so the only thing I might be able to do to help is to clear the curse from the demons, I answer with a light shrug. An answer that seems to give the Count some hope before he frowns again.

Is he

What do you need to do that? the Count asks, an incredibly serious look on his face.

A light grin emerges on my face.

This could be useful.
