Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 181 Ancient Torterras Trial (1)



"So that's what you read… we'll see if that comes true or not because death is omnipotent and can even cut through fate,"

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" I asked, but the man just stared at me before helping me to my feet.

"Nothing. Anyway, your body will need time to adjust to the runes. Learning them immediately might fry your nervous system so let's wait about a day before doing anything else,"

"Ummm… Okay? Then what should we do? We can't just leave this place,"

"I'll have you train against my kin. Kill them, and I'll allow you to move onto the next stage,"

[You have unlocked the Secret Side Quest: Ancient Torterras Trials]

[A strange energy flows through your body]

All of a sudden, the torterra disappeared from in front of me and appeared in the corner of the room, standing right beside the fur coat man.

He had already fainted from something, so he was unaware of anything currently going on around him.

Just as I tried to ask a question, a man who was a whopping seven feet tall with chain mail armor, a metal spear, and a tortoiseshell on his back appeared in front of me.

His skin was a light tan and had a few scales crawling up various parts of his body.

"Now, take your spear and fight this guy. If you can't kill him within two minutes, I'll take something away from you. That might be one of your senses, some of your gear… or maybe even your clothes," The torterra smirked, and I shook with embarrassment.

"Alright, fine," I muttered before taking a single step, brown and green lighting shooting from the sole of my foot as I entered to be what seemed to be a domain.

In an unfamiliar language, the torterra ordered his kin to do something, but as I couldn't understand it, I decided to test out one of the two obvious things it could be.

[You have entered the Testing Zone: Ancient Torterras Arena]

[Progress through each level in order to obtain a reward]

I smiled at the few notifications in front of me before dashing towards the tall spearsman, ready to counter anything he swung at me.

Of course, I also pulled out my trusty third eye and gripped the handle tightly as I was a bit nervous from the torterras omnipresent aura that continued to permeate through this entire small cave.

It bounced off the walls and suffocated me mentally and physically… and now that I think about it, that was probably the reason why the fur coat dude fainted.

"I will show no mercy," The man in front of me said in a strange accent before taking a step toward me and chucking his spear at me like a javelin.

It was so fast and strong that even with my newly trained body, senses, and stats, I could barely just dodge it before charging in again for a counterattack.

Now that he had no weapon, this was my chance… just kidding.

"That's what you wanted me to think, right?" I muttered with a large smile and then took a step to the side, causing the man to collide with his own retracted spear.

"Hooooooh… Dashner, you're getting destroyed," The torterra commented as the man gripped his spear again and, this time, held onto it while charging towards me… openings plentiful.

"Forgive me, your majesty,"

"Oh, that old man is a ruler? So if I kill you, does that make me a traitor!?" I shouted as I dodged to the side and slashed upwards at the man's chest, but unsurprisingly, he was extraordinarily skilled and managed to pull his spear back in time… though my spear was just too sharp.

SHING

My blade cut through his spear, flesh, and bones, leaving him to drain blood as he lay on the ground, in whole two pieces.

"What a cheat weapon you have there," The torterra muttered and then suddenly frowned as he looked straight at me.

"What? Can I not use this weapon?"

"No… I mean, yes, you can use the weapon but start referring to me as Master. I keep hearing your inner dialogue, and you're referring to me as torterra… Master! Call me Master!" He shouted like an angry teacher.

[You have swiftly passed the First Round]

[You have acquired the Healing Pill: Natures Bloom]

.

[The Second Round will not commence without the Owners Permission]

"Seriously? Tch… M-Master… Now do it!"

"That wasn't loud enough. Come on! Praise your master! Worship every part of your master, and then maybe I'll give you a noble title!" The ancient torterra smirked, but I took a piece of bread out of my storage ring and chucked it at his face.

He immediately caught it but then clicked his tongue as he really wanted to hear me worship him or something like that… so weird.

"Alright, Master! Start this shit again!"

"That's very nice to the ears… Very, very soothing… Alright, the second round shall commence!" Master announced before snapping his fingers.

A new man appeared in front of me with similar features, but this time he was absolutely jacked, and his spear was now a large and heavy halberd ready to cut through anything.

"I'll save this green pill for later,"

I stuffed the pill I had received as a reward in my pocket and then dashed towards the man, this time activating a few skills.

[Spear Coating] [Berserk Coating] [Empower]

"Let's test the basics…."

He was too strong for me to instantly kill him, but that didn't mean he was so strong that he could overpower me.

Compared to the commander I had fought, this guy was just a little pea in the pod, ready to be steamed and eaten by yours truly.

SHING

We both swung our weapons at each other and exchanged a few blows, but as my aura began to spread to my spear, the man began to get pushed back with each and every single one of my swings.

Plus, he didn't expect the kicks that I threw in to throw him off balance or just create a new opening for me to use.

"How cute," I smirked before placing all of my strength in my arms and swinging down with the power of a mountain behind me.
