Warlock of War: My Ares System

"Those fucking pieces of shit… ruining my satisfaction,"

We were left in the steaming hot mess of corpses that used to be a graveyard, the fresh smell of burning human flesh wafting through the air, seductively trying to pull us in.

A dark cloud of rain covered Amlas as Luna reawoke, smiling widely before kicking her former family members, that were now just charred pieces of flesh.

The small fires were soon put out by the rain, and just as we were about to exit the small garden, a pair of shadows latched onto my feet.

A man then came out of my own shadow, cloaked in a black cloth and a smooth black mask that covered his face.

His calloused hands wrapped around my thin ankles and tried to drag me down with him, but in just half a second, Findir danced around me and stabbed the man in the back of the head.

The shadow had a strange reaction as it shot me out as if there was a geyser beneath me, expelling any foreign objects.

Tup

I landed softly on the grass before glancing upwards, locking eyes with at least fifteen men cloaked in pure, pitch-black darkness.

It wasn't a cloth but literal shadows so deep in darkness that you'd think they pulled them straight out of hell itself.

"I needed somebody to let off some steam," I muttered before gritting my teeth and calling my spear.

"Oh shit… you, clear out of the vicinity," Cy said, but Luna didn't understand his words, so Finidr was forced to pick her up and drag her out of the way.

BOOOOM

My spear had been completely dodged by all the assassins who dove into the shadows beneath them, but just as they resurfaced, their heads were sliced off by Findir and Cy.

Only one managed to travel far enough away from us, only to resurface and be met by a strong punch from Luna.

She grit her teeth with anger, but her movements were way too wide, eventually causing her to be used as a hostage as the assassin begged for us to let him go.

His words just went in one ear and out the other as Findir gathered dark winds around him, only to be unleashed again in a burst of speed.

FWOOSH

He was like the wind itself as he traveled behind the assassin and slit his throat while shielding Luna's neck with his own hand.

"Tch… That's gonna take a while to heal," He muttered before walking back over to me.

His wound was very deep and almost cut all the way through his hand, so we quickly made our way back to the Wony mansion… with Luna following our tail.

…

"Who is that?" Bella asked as she gestured for some maids to help out Findir, who was just barely keeping it together from the pain that coursed through his mind.

"My girlfriend," I muttered, and suddenly, Luna gave me a kiss on the lips.

This mother-... Whatever.

Luna's smile was a bit taunting as she looked at Bella, who was unphased, already trained in keeping it together with somebody like her.

Disappointed, my "girlfriend" frowned before immediately making herself at home while calling over some attendants.

"I see… What a fucked relationship you both have," Bella muttered, and I chuckled a bit as she really was getting intelligent and attentive to little details.

But I think it was time to cut off this little act.

Cy and I went to the dining room, where we devoured plates upon plates of food, and only after we were stuffed completely did Cy ask a few questions.

"So… Oomph… Shit, I might've eaten too much… So, what was that about when you said those people from the government ruined your satisfaction?" He asked, using water to keep down everything he had eaten.

"Well, there is a reason I went to the funeral. I could've just stayed back and not let myself get in harm's way… but where's the fun in that,"

Cy visibility shivered before chuckling a bit.

"I wanted to go to court or something with the boy in order to see his face of despair more, as I had planned everything perfectly. There is no way I would've been charged as the bombs are something tailored to the Lunascar family, and as he was already detained by the family and such, he was the obvious suspect,"

"And I guess you didn't get to see his face, which is why you were disappointed,"

"Exactly… Well, not everything can go to plan, but honestly, I might not do this again. The government is just going to keep getting in my way and ruining my fun… If they're just going to make instant decisions like that, then I could possibly be charged as well,"

"Huh? Didn't they read off a scroll?"

"Pfffftttt… HAHAHAHA! Come on, dude! Look closer next time! They were obviously bullshitting from what they've seen… They don't want to waste time investigating something that could potentially lead to the prolonging of this war. They want it to end as fast as possible,"

"Oh, okay," Cy replied, looking a bit disappointed in himself as my words were a bit harsh.

"*sigh*... Come on, let's go look at their library. I want to show you something that I've been struggling to even click with,"

"I-Is it a new skill!?"

p Cy's eyes widened with excitement, but to his disappointment, it was just a book, and of course, he wasn't that proficient in books.

"Ughhhhh… I can't read this. Can you read it for me?" Cy asked as he lay on the carpet of my room, staring up at the book while turning it in different directions.

"Wait, can you not read?"

"I can, but I just don't understand. I read it, and the information just doesn't retain in my head,"

"That's truly unfortunate. That book holds some information on spears that could help improve your base skill, but I guess it's impossible since you're an idiot,"

"F-Fine… I'll try as hard as I can,"

And just as Cy began to get invested in the book, a familiar face walked in.
