Warlock of War: My Ares System

"I'll make good use of you," I muttered.

…

After a few minutes, the man's eyes suddenly shot open, and as he began to look around, I greeted him.

He was still a bit dazed, but after I explained everything to him and the status of the others… which he should've already known, he began to say some stuff that was out of character for him.

"Did you really think I was this righteous man?"

"Yes," I immediately replied.

He laughed out loud as if to make fun of me before speaking again.

"I guess I am… But, just a small tip from a pro like me… never-ever judge somebody off their adventurer profile or what they seem to be on the outside. Every adventurer at my level has been through hell and back, which of course changes something inside of us," He says.

I stare at him blankly for a few seconds before speaking up.

"I already knew that…." I responded before lifting myself up with the help of my spear and then glancing at the large stone gates.

What lies behind them is one of the weakest bosses… but it is still a boss, so of course, it's going to be very strong compared to the pitiful slimes within this dungeon.

"Sure…" The leader replies, thinking I just came up with an excuse to cover up some incompetence.

But that wasn't true in the slightest.

I was already aware of the possibility that he had a different side, but the more I saw his bright and leadership side, that thought began to slowly crumble into dust.

But, also, he was definitely trying to hide his softer side as previously, when we were both on the brink of death, he tried to save me, ignoring any repercussions…

His actions were contradictory, so that was the only conclusion I could come up with…

"What am I supposed to attack the boss with?" The leader asks me.

"Take my spear. I expect you to return it to me," I respond, tossing my spear at him, and he catches it with one hand.

The spear was like a dagger within the center of his palm as it was created for a smaller body while he had a jacked and large body.

After he inspected the spear a bit, I quickly untied the rope wrapped around a rock and then swung it over my shoulder.

He chuckled a bit at the funny sight of the large rope practically crushing me under its weight before I knocked on the stone gate twice.

Knock Knock

[Would you like to open the gates to the Boss Room?]

"Yes," I muttered.

[All Raid Members must consent to the procedure]

"Yes," The leader mutters.

[The Boss Room has been revealed]

[The Dungeon Boss greets you with a surprise]

All of a sudden, a gust of wind blew us into a massive dome-like cave with a stone throne towards the end of it.

It was covered from head to toe with green vines that looked like parasites trying to feed off of it.

Once we had recovered quickly and stood firmly on our feet, the stone doors closed behind us with a loud,

BAM

And darkness enveloped us.

"Get ready," The leader muttered, but I didn't respond as I was already getting into position, right next to the throne.

[Night Vision] wasn't working like always, but my eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness.

Why should I wait for the boss to appear when we can set a trap that'll allow us to kill it in a few seconds?

FWOOSH

Hundreds of squishy glowing orbs of green light appeared all over the cave, lighting every inch of it and not leaving a single spot dark.

Though I would've rather not have looked at the boss who was staring right at me, its skeletal face right in front of me.

BAM

But just before the slime within its skull could leak down onto me, the leader distracted it by slamming its bony foot with my spear.

The spear was coated in a dark red aura, but the most prominent part was the leader himself, whose muscles bulged like balloons, and his pupils had turned a dark red.

Veins practically burst from every square inch of his forehead, and blood even began to draw from his nose.

ROOOOOAAAAAAR

As I backed away from the throne, my trap set, I caught a glimpse of the boss's entire body which was so big I had to crane my neck all the way back.

It was a massive skeleton coated in a corrosive and toxic green slime that oozed from each bone in its body.

But that wasn't the dangerous part as the actual danger came in its second phase… of course, it was already pretty deadly in its first phase, though.

As the massive skeleton stood up, its green slime forming a foot in its place, it tripped on my rope which caused it to fall flat on its slimy hollow expression.

The rope may have snapped in half, but now the leader was right above him, his spear glowing a bright red.

FWOOSH

His piercing motion stabbed through the air, sticking straight into the toxic slime and then reaching for the nape of the skeleton.

The boss is unkillable unless you break his spine which is coated in a thin layer of slime, but that thin layer is so dense you might as well call it metal.

The leader's attack managed to reach the skeleton, scratching the dense slime, but it quickly regenerated in an instant.

BAM

And, before the leader could land right next to me, he was swatted out of the air.

I quickly ran behind a rock, right next to the leader, who immediately pulled a vial of red liquid out of his left boot.

"*cough*... *Glug* *Glug* *Glug*,"

The sound of the liquid sliding down his throat was so loud it was almost as if it echoed through the cave.

BAM

I glanced back at the boss, who stood at a might twenty meters tall, its eyes sockets glowing with a green aura.

"That was my last potion," The leader mutters before wiping his mouth and gripping the spear tightly in his hand.

"Do you think you can tear through that slime?" I ask him as the boss suddenly charges towards us, each stomp of his feet echoing throughout the cave.

"Yeah, but I need more momentum," He says as it is clear his base strength wasn't enough.

After glancing up at the boss bar in the corner of my eyesight, I highlighted it in my mind.

[Giant Toxic Skeleton - Boss]

[Health Remaining: 9261/10000]

Typically, you would dwindle away at the dense slime with long-range attacks, but as we didn't have that luxury, we had to aim straight for its weak point.
