Warlock of War: My Ares System-Chapter 184 Rune And Ancient Tongue Training (2)

"Alright. Let me teach you about each of these runes…."

"Aren't they just letters in a foreign language? I don't think I need to know much more about them… unless you're teaching me about these specifically,"

"... Fuck, it seems you already know about runes… Okay, let's just move on to the good part," Master said before snapping his fingers again, causing the mirrors to fall into mud that sank into the soft dirt below us.

"Okay, what you're going to want to do is to focus all your consciousness on a single point, and that point is going to be your tongue. You should be able to see through your tongue, talk through your tongue, hear, taste, and feel through your tongue…."

"Is that even possible?"

"I'll be helping you direct your consciousness but be prepared to stay motionless for a few days now. With your talent and bone structure, you should be able to acquire the skill in no less than a week, but after that… will depend on your will,"

"How does that make sense,"

"Shut up, sit down, and close your eyes. Try to imagine your body becoming your tongue…."

"This sounds a bit lewd-"

Suddenly, Master smacked me on the back of my head, so I quickly shut up and sat down, making sure to squeeze my eyes shut.

"Relax, you're too tense,"

"That's hard to do when somebody with an aura as powerful as you is sitting right behind me. Can't you turn it down a bit?"

"I've already slimmed it to 10%. Any more, and I'll be concentrating too much on that instead of helping you out… NOW SHUT UP AND RELAX!"

"Alright, alright…"

…

Within a week, I had finally received a notification, but I didn't recognize its existence as I had almost completely fused with my tongue.

It was a strange feeling as I was aware that I had entered a weird state of consciousness, but at the same time, I didn't realize it… it was bizarre.

But soon, everything clicked into place like a neatly tucked puzzle piece, and at that moment, I knew I had completely become one with my tongue.

I felt as if I could talk out of it, hear from it, smell from it, feel everything around me with it, and just overall do practically anything with it… but at the same time, I couldn't.

I knew it was possible, but I couldn't do it.

It was like I had gaslit myself into believing that I had achieved something great, but in reality, I was nowhere near it.

"Did I do it?" I asked Master, who still had his hand placed on top of my head.

Master didn't answer, so I continuously kept asking until I got fed up and snapped my head around, only to see him asleep, drool running down his chin and his head conked back in an uncomfortable position.

"You fucking old man… I DID IT! SO WAKE UP!"

"Ggg… Huh? Oh, cool. Now check your… status… I'm gonna sleep some more," He muttered before laying back on the grass and feeling the nightly breeze wash over him like a soothing wave of wind.

"Tch…"

"Humu humu… I understand now… WAKE UP AND TEACH ME HOW TO USE IT-!"

Suddenly, a wave of exhaustion rushed through my veins, and everything around me spun as my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

I could barely keep my head straight, and everything around me was tinted in a strange brown and green color.

Then, I fell asleep almost instantly, with my eyes rolling back into their sockets.

When I woke up, I was greeted by a strange urge for destruction, like a feeling of the need to destroy something was coursing through my veins.

"Hey, calm down a bit, and I'll let you release the urge. For now, you won't be able to control it, so unleash it onto this mountain range, and only then will I be able to teach you the tongue," Master said as he sat right next to me.

Slowly, I got up from my passed-out position and glanced down at the mountain range with an almost beastly hunger for destruction.

[Tangible Bloodlust] [Blood Manipulation] [Blood Envision] [Blood Sampler] [Cloak of Blood] [Spear Coating] [Berserk Coating] [Empower]

In just a few seconds, I activated almost all of my skills, and my body exploded with power.

My bloodlust was the first thing to pull the strings on my limbs, and it took control of me like a marionette.

My bones and muscles creaked as they tried to withstand the power of these destructive skills, and as I took out my spear, I could physically see it smile.

I didn't know how an inanimate object could smile, but I saw it smile… and it was terrifying.

BOOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOM BOOOOM

This release of rage happened for about thirty minutes until I was quickly drained of stamina and mana, but instead of feeling miserable like last time, I felt at ease.

[You have quelled the Destructiveness of your Rune]

"You did quite a bit of damage… You almost destroyed this mountain here," Master smiled as he looked at the massive sideways crater dug into the mountain before us.

He suddenly tossed me a green pill which I swallowed and felt the power of it slowly spread through my body, healing it and revitalizing me with a newfound sense of perseverance.

"Huff… Huff… huff… Alright… Let's learn how to do it,"
