Warlock of War: My Ares System

The girl's eyes slowly trailed over to me, and her eyes practically displayed the cogs turning in her head.

"What?" I blurted out as her gaze practically dug into my skin.

"N-Nothing," She muttered before we continued down the hallway, but it seemed this event had shaken her core, allowing us to infiltrate her mind much easier than before.

"So, do you have any allies within the family? Should we be looking for some of them if you do?" Bella asked, and our eyes trailed along to the girl.

"Not really. They can't even be counted as my siblings from how much we hate each other," She shrugged, and we soon turned a corner, appearing in front of hundreds of goblins stacked into one large room.

They had made a camp and on the very end of it was a goblin in large robes with a staff held in its hand.

"A magician?" Bella muttered before raising her hands.

"No, it's a shaman. Try not to get hit by any of its attacks otherwise, you'll be having a terrible time," I muttered before we both dashed into the room, hungry for some more XP.

Our skills completely tore through the goblins, but the shaman was quite proficient in its job as the large masses of purple energy continued to come at us when we least expected it.

But this was the perfect chance to completely overwhelm the Bonebloom girl who was standing back, watching us get rid of the enemies like we were her servants.

Even the knight looked at us as if he were our superior, so you know we had to teach them a little lesson.

As I traveled around the room, going to slice up another huddled group of goblins, a dark mass of energy came flying towards me, but I instantly stepped back and then ducked, causing it to fly into the girl's face.

There was no impact or anything that looked deadly, but her face instantly paled and tears slowly flowed from her eyes as she looked up into the air.

"Miss! MISS!?" The knight cried as I returned to the slaughter, and we eventually slipped under the shaman's two goblin knight guards and got rid of it entirely.

Not even a corpse was left as it slowly burnt into ash, dissipating with the small gust of wind that erupted from my attacks.

And just like that, we had leveled up once more, but now we had to deal with the problem of the Bonebloom Miss, who was writhing in fear.

"I wonder what she's seeing now," I chuckled before maneuvering right beside the knight who had taken his helmet off and revealed a heavily scarred face.

His hair was pitch black, and his eyes were even darker. His face was deathly pale as if he hadn't touched the sun in years. And, one of his eyes almost seemed to be going blind the way he turned his head to get a full view of his young miss… he was practically a training bag.

"YOU BASTARD! WHAT DID YOU DO!?" He shouted after laying his Miss gently along the stone brick floor.

His fingers gripped my armor through the gauntlet, and his anger displayed a bloodlust so thick that it might've been close to mine.

But, his skills seemed to be deteriorating.

"Hello~? I'm over here," I waved at the man as he stared right at my ear instead of my face, meaning the helmet was also meant to cover up situations like this.

"GODDAMMIT!" He shouted before pushing me away and returning to his miss, who slowly came back from the darkest illusion she would ever see in her entire life.

"Huff… Huff… Huff… Shit," She muttered as she gripped her forehead, sweat drenching her back and beads rolling down her cheek.

"You good?" I asked, and I could see Bella snickering to herself in the corner, just barely managing to control her laughing as the young miss fully woke up.

"Y-Yeah… maybe I should've stood a bit further back," She muttered, and I even helped her up, the knight just standing beside her, still like a statue.

"You raised this puppy quite well," I complimented the girl as the knight didn't slip even a single word as he now knew we could both eradicate them instantly.

He would probably try to pull something fishy later on, but for now, I knew he wasn't a threat in the slightest.

He was a seasoned veteran who was way out of his prime. In fact, this might even be one of the lowest points in his entire life.

"Well, he's been my guard since I was young. He's quite loyal to me, and I don't see him betraying me anytime soon, so I'm quite happy with where I am in life," She muttered earnestly before glancing over at her loyal knight.

He's a shadow. Nothing else to it. A retired shadow, most likely who had probably been passed down in his prime from the head who had just rose to the position.

With enough power to be the head, he wouldn't need a shadow, so he gave his favorite child the best shadow he could find, and what better option than the one who assisted in his climb to the very top of the throne?

"Alright, let's continue down the hallway. Our friends shouldn't be too far now," I muttered, and not even half an hour later, we found the still sleeping Aisa and Cy, who were surrounded by piles of goblin corpses.

"Have you adjusted to it?" I asked as the two stood behind Bella and me, just observing us as we interacted.

"Yeah. It took a while because I kept trying to use it as a spear, but soon information and guidance on how to use the sword flowed into my mind. I still had to comprehend it, but I must say it's easier to learn than demonology," Cy smirked before summoning a sword from a ring he had stolen from Aisa.

It was a plain and dull gray sword that needed lots of sharpening… yet it seemed the girl behind us had something to say about it.

"Where did you get that sword?"
