2.11 The Harbinger of Death, BloodMoon

On the Red team's side...

"Guild Leader UnderHeaven, what are we we gonna do with that bitch when we finish with her." Sinister was licking his lips thinking of how Scarlett was gonna struggle underneath him. Just thinking about it made him howl at the moon.

"We will use her as a lesson to people that want to provoke us. After this, they will think twice before messing with my Paradise." After saying this, he looked at his elite troops and said. "After this our next goal is to rule this kingdom and take our rightful place as a superpower in this game. Let's get ready to end this quickly. The sooner, the better. We are getting everything that she owns after all." Thinking of that bow and the bird of hers, he can't help but take this chance to covet it.

Fight!

"Let's go! Paradise forever!" There team was full of cheers and smiles at this moment. They never knew that this would be the last time they smiled inside of Creed of the Fallen.

The map the fighters were teleported to was a forested area with a single clearing in the dead center. BloodMoon spawned inside this clearing. Looking up at the moon, she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her irises were filled with crimson flames but her face was almost too calm. Silver wings spread out from behind her as she soared into the sky.

With her bow in her hand, she searched for a bunch of people which she found in a short amount of time. She flew past them for a bit and landed on the ground. After landing on the ground, she turned around and utilizing her advantage, she quickly and quietly sprinted through the forest as if she were only the wind. When she reached the last destination, she climbed the trees and proceeded to traverse the forest like this. As silent as the void. Everyone looking at her point of view, whether it was from her stream or in the spectating area couldn't help but admire her.

In just 6 minutes, she managed to track down and catch up to the very upbeat Paradise Guild elites. Seeing how excited these players were, she couldn't help but shake her head. 'Its not who wants to ban you but the creators them self, they are only using me to do it.' After consoling herself, she decides to spring into action. She aims her bow into the sky, and releases her Raining Hell.

UnderHeaven Sees a red light fly into the sky not too far away from them and knows that it is BloodMoon. He decides to let his team charge forward and he follows them. At this moment, this red light explodes. Seeing this, UnderHeaven feels that something is off and steps back 3 steps. Right after he stepped back three step, he sees 3 arrows lodge themselves into the grass and burn through the earth. He then heard screaming and turned towards the source. It wasn't just one person but everyone within a 20 meter space turned into burnt swiss cheese. 40 people died in an instant! This scared everyone as BloodMoon hadn't even shown herself to them yet.

"Your intuition is extraordinary, Guild Leader UnderHeaven." Everyone heard an emotionless voice echoing in the woods giving them chills. "You see, I am in a really good mood right now and we really don't have any bad blood between up. We taunted and mocked eachother on the internet but that was about it. How about you surrender and I will not let you guys be banned from this game. As far as I know, some of the people in your clan rely on the salary you give them to live and I would hate for them to lose a job like this. Do you wanna think about it?"

Everyone was shocked but quickly understood. She didn't want to be know for a whole guild of players losing their jobs but if they didn't accept her proposal, then she would act as the executioner.

"Are you so confident that you are giving me a way out?" UnderHeaven was really currious of the source of her confidence.

"I am confident but that's not why I am saying this. Do you agree or not?" BloodMoon said.

"No, My guild is very interested in your weapons and gear you have on your person. If I surrender, I will never have a chance like this again." UnderHeaven said with a light chuckle.

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for the downfall of Paradise. You brought this onto yourself." BloodMoon appeared in front of them and their guild looked at her with bloodshot eyes. All of their ranged players attacked and their melee players rushed forward.

Seeing spells and arrows flying at her, BloodMoon laughed and rushed forward. Activating gale steps, she rushed towards their healers that were being protected by thieves. With the spells and magic failing to even touch her shadow, she began to use her movement technique, Illusion Steps.

At this point, 3 thieves came out and stabbed towards her back but BloodMoon acted like she didn't care. Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but wince thinking that she was gonna die just like this. This was something amazing happened.

The 3 thieves connected with their blade and stabbed her but for some reason, they felt no resistance. In the next moment, they all felt that death was approaching them but it was to late. BloodMoon's blade entered their throats and she instant killed them. Her face covered in blood, she turned and looked straight at the guild leader and smiled. This smile sent shivers down everyone's spine. At this time, the illusory BloodMoon faded away and everyone's pupils shrank.

How did she pull it off? What was that wierd movement that she did just then. No matter who it was, everyone thought that BloodMoon died but another her appeared behind her afterimage and the next thing everyone knew was that there were 3 bodies on the ground.

"It seems that she is already proficient with Illusion Steps. Let's keep watching." Grace Heatherfield was looking at the battle as well and was surprised to see this. There was someone else beside and It wasn't President Blackburn this time.

"I already think she is qualified to join us. At least in the game anyway. The only problem..." At this point, the person speaking froze. "Shadestep!"

He had just see Bloodmoon use this movement technique to blend with the shadows and appeared behind a healer like a nightmare. Her blade silently enter their throat. The healer died without even knowing what killed him. She then began to kill these healers like she was reaping wheat.

Only after the 6th healer died did they notice something wrong. Thier slow response allowed BloodMoon to clean up almost 40% of their healers before anyone attacked. Sensing fire mana comverging into her area, she used gale steps again with vanish and dissapeared from view once more. At the same time the spell could be stop. The mage that fired this spell panicked and screamed. "Noooo! Get out of there!" Unfortunately, it was too late.

The ground immolated and the forest had suddenly turned into a hell on earth. The attack range was very large at 90 × 90 meters. Scarlett was almost cooked alongside the elites of Paradise. While still in stealth, she looked towards the mage that fired the spell and took out her bow. Activating her wings, she once again took to the skies, her eyes never leaving their target. She knocked a mana arrow, making her stealth stop working and UnderHeaven was the first to spot her.

"She's up above, ranged classes, fire your spells and arrows." UnderHeaven was shaken by her display and tried to keep his voice normal but everyone could hear a change in his voice compared to earlier. The mages and hunters all used their longest ranged attacks but nothing managed to even reach her. BloodMoon looked at all of them with a cold expression and summoned Luna. When everyone saw this bird, they were wondering why they though this bird was dangerous.

This was when they heard a cold voice from above. "KILL!"

The bird immediately changed from being cure to becoming a nightmare. Flames blazed outside of its eyes as the flames covering its body became more violent. While the flames became increasingly more violent, Scarlett check Luna's moveset and could help but feel sorry for the people under her.

At this point, the eyes of Luna, flashed a bloody red color and the ground under most of fhe forest began to catch fire. A flame lotus appeared under the foot of a Paradise Warrior and he began to open his mouth to scream but in the end, nothing came out. Instead, his body turned into nothing.

When everyone saw this, they felt their hearts stopped. The people that were think of having designs on her pet were very disappointed as even with man power, it would be useless unless they had something that could reach and kill the bird.

A flame lotus appeared one after another and anyone that made contact with it was obliterated into nothingness. It was like the map they were playing in turned into hell and BloodMoon was the Demon Lord. She looked on coldly at everything and came back down. When she came back down, she summoned her own flames and took out her short sword which had also been covered in her flames.

After Luna's attack, there where still at most 125 people left from her rough count. She raised her eyebrow when she noticed that UnderHeaven was still alive, but only barely. "Guild Leader Underfoot is as tenacious as a cockroach. You have my admiration!"

UnderHeaven was in a very sorry state. The only reason he was still alive was because he found a treasure in a hidden dungeon that could create a shield around your body for a full 60 seconds. Just as long as Crimson World Illuminator lasts. Barley surviving, he didn't even hear BloodMoon's mocking. He just sat there and said. "We surrender." He saw his troops looking at BloodMoon with fear and knew that anymore would almost traumatize them. He almost couldn't hold on so he thought to end it here.

With a flash of light, BloodMoon was teleported out of the space while all members of Paradise dissapeared from the game forever.

"The winner of the battle is BloodMoon. Paradise will from now on cease to exist. Everything they own will belong to BloodMoon. If there is nothing else, I will be leaving." He then disappeared into the void as if he was running away because he felt a piercing gaze drilling into his skull while he was speaking.

Everyone looked at BloodMoon like she was a demon. Whether it was her items or her skills, they were all top tier. BloodMoon looked at everyone staring at her and made her way to Lord Quinn because after the battle ended, the game notified her that her quest was completed.

Without turning back, she exited the Heavenly Punishment arena and went on her way. The audience was still silent as this ended way too quickly and even more so at the cards that BloodMoon revealed.

After this battle, the VoD's were circulated around the world and by the end of the next day, every continent's players had heard of BloodMoon and watched her 1 v 1000 battle.

On a player run website, there is a list of the top experts in COTF (Creed of the Fallen) and on the last page, there is a list of players whose placement can't be determined. There are a total of 20 names listed and the last one being listed is none other than BloodMoon.
