Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 187 Signs Of Battle



"Oh, o-okay,"

A few days later and Master gave me a new robe which I immediately began to wear instead of my baggy, beaten, and torn cloak.

It was soft to the touch but seemed powerful enough to negate an entire fireball with ease.

"Alright, kid. Make sure to get back safely… I'll just be relaxing in my throne world for now until one of the other ancient monsters makes a move. Try not to die on me," He said, and after ruffling my hair a bit, he pushed me through a portal.

A sinking feeling turned in my stomach and as soon as I began to seemingly freefall to my death… I arrived at the small exit of the warehouse gang.

It was right where the fur coat dude and I departed to cross the moat and reach the other side of the city.

"*sigh*... Had me worrying for nothing," I smirked and then walked through the underground base this gang had built.

Strong metal support beams held up the ceiling and a powerful and unbreakable bond held the gang members together as if they were family… but it's a shame they ran into me.

"[Kneel]," I ordered upon stepping into the underground base, and as everybody got on their knees before me, I summoned my spear and twirled it around a bit.

Notifications signaled to me that I had killed a few people, and once I saw each and every head rolling on the ground, I made my way up to the actual warehouse.

Using the tongue was still very difficult, and my throat felt as if somebody had poured lava down it, but besides that, there was no blood, no strange liquid, and no activating from my rune.

The rune of ruthlessness seemed useless in the beginning, something that helped me suppress some of the pain and suffering I would go through… but eventually, I saw some progress.

I was able to use the rune of ruthlessness to some point where I could not only increase the power and speed of my body but also my durability.

I was like an immovable rock, but the reason why none of my runes have turned into skills is that I still suck at their purpose…

For example, the rune of ruthlessness is supposed to also give me a skill for when I become proficient in enhancing my body with it, but since I still suck with it, I didn't get the skill.

Same thing with the runes along my back, but according to Master, they all count as a single rune, so once I obtain it on my status, it'll most likely be something related to the tongue.

"[Cover Your Eyes]," I announced, and as the warehouse helped reverberate my words across the entire building, everybody covered their eyes.

People began to panic, so I added an additional order that actually made me spit up blood.

"[Silence],"

The warehouse soon turned into a dead silent mess, and after passing through the two guards without even a sound, I looked back at all the people who were suffering.

It's less than before… Another war has broken out.

After eating the last nature pill that I had saved in order to heal my throat, I continued down the road for at least half a day.

It was as silent as ever, and more battlefields had erupted across the city… and from what I saw, it wasn't going to be long until the entire city turned into one bloody battlefield.

But, that was the least of my worries now, as once I had arrived at the Wony mansion, an entire army greeted me, and they were currently trying to raid the mansion but now turned fortress.

"Kekeke… So, just cause the head is out of commission, they think they can trample over this place… What a bunch of fucking idiots," I smiled before glancing up at the roof of the fortress and seeing Bella menacingly gazing over the battlefield.

We had our own soldiers here, meaning she already expected this to happen… meaning she really is the perfect fit for the next position.

"It's time to excrete the old and come with the new… Everybody here is so old I feel like I'm breathing in dust. I think it's about time the newer generation took the reigns of this world," I muttered before smiling even wider as Bella slowly raised her hand.

I made sure to back up into the city and watch as chains of green flames erupted from the battlefield, slaughtering many, but that wasn't it.

The chains then formed into a massive green sun above the battlefield, which then slowly fell onto the enemy.

Some of our soldiers were burnt to a crisp, but the other side, including the strongest soldiers, were burnt past ash and into the ground, melding with the dirt.

"[Flame of Judgment: Catastrophic Failure]," A voice rang throughout the city, bouncing off the tall buildings and permeating through the mansions of every single wealthy and influential family.

Her voice was like a declaration of war, announcing the real start of the single most important event in this city.

"The War of Attrition has stopped, and absolute bloodshed will now commence," I muttered before walking over the burnt corpses littering the fortress' front garden.

"You took too long, so I decided to finish it off myself," Bella said as she hopped down from the fortress roof and landed in front of me, calming down the soldiers who felt my unchained bloodlust-like aura.

I made sure to tone everything down before following her through the army, which parted like the red sea.

It was a wonderful display of power, just showing how far she's come.

The thousands of soldiers around us cheered for our glory and victory, pumping pure adrenaline through the air.

The atmosphere was dense with stress but also joy that the battle had finally ended.

"Hey, I got a question?"

"What is it?" Bella asked as she pushed open the front doors to let me in.

"What's for dinner?"
