Warlock of War: My Ares System-Chapter 205 Manipulating The War (2)

How fun…

As we stepped into the large mansion, we were greeted by familiar halls that were just a bit darker than the ones in the Wony household.

Everything besides the outer frame and gardens was the exact same as the ones in our very own fortress… and if that was true… that means the bedrooms should be in the exact same place.

"Alright, let's go," I said before Aisa placed her hands on my shoulder, and we disappeared into a cloud of snow, only to reappear before the many bedrooms that were barely even used.

Findir gave us a signal to stay quiet for now and wait for him to come out as we could sense a presence from inside the room.

It was strong but not strong enough to kill any of us.

Creeeeeeek

After only waiting for a few minutes, the door to the room quickly creaked open, allowing the boy who had his guard down to exit the room.

We waited in the shadows, fusing with them and almost becoming them the longer we stalked the boy from a reasonable five meters away.

"*yawn*... Hmmmmm… Is there somebody here-"

SHING

,m Suddenly, Aisa and Findir erupted from their positions and slashed at the boy's arms, allowing them to only dangle from just a few strands of flesh.

They purposely held back for now as we still had to put our plan in motion.

After slashing up the rest of his body a bit, he finally began to counterattack while running away, knowing he couldn't beat the two assassins currently after him.

Three swords materialized around him and spun, slashed, and hacked away at my two friends, but they both deflected each sword with care and ease.

But I did have to give it to him… making both of them have to deflect his attacks instead of just dodging them… that's an impressive feat. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Each one of his swords was like something out of a martial art movie where he moved the swords around with "ki," which was most likely just mana… or a skill… who knows, it's not my skill.

TING TING TING TING TING

Though, he wasn't a match against two assassins who were already well aware of these familiar halls.

They bounced around like a rubber ball, slinging from each wall to the ceiling and then to the floor, only to gain more momentum as their bloodlust slowly seeped from their eyes.

TING TING TING TING TING

Each ravishing attack got only worse and worse with each passing second, but suddenly, they stopped as soon as the boy escaped through the back door of the mansion, riding on one of his swords like a hoverboard.

"Alright, first step complete," Aisa smirked before we made our way to the next bedroom with a girl in her older teens, and she was sleeping so defenselessly.

It's a trap…

It was a trap, but the two beside me were already aware of it, so they pushed their speed to the maximum, tearing through the atmosphere around them and slicing open the girl's throat.

Her instantly summoned swords then fell to the ground lifelessly.

But, it seems my friends picked up a bit too much speed as they flew into the wall, completely destroying it with their followed-up powerful attack.

"Impressive," A sudden voice clapped from behind us, and I just about managed to sense him as soon as he entered the room.

He is… dangerous.

…

(Orion POV)

"Finally… The guests are finally here," I smiled as I took a peek out of the window while slowly moving the curtain to the side.

Upon seeing almost all of our troops leave without any cover and even three of our most powerful soldiers: Luna, Findir, and Aisa, of course, they would come to attack… it's only the correct decision.

You can't trick them with such a wide-range illusion attack, and I'm sure they've already confirmed that they've left far enough so that they can't rush back and help us.

"Everything is falling into place," I muttered before exiting the room, where Bella soon greeted me.

"What should we do about the small fry? Should I get rid of them instantly?"

"The Boisgeze have been absorbed into the Bonebloom family, and the Humblecrest is currently trying to absorb the Bonebloom… of course, they're failing terribly, but with this, we'll have some leverage," I smiled as the two men at the front of the small army had signature white hair.

Is this their last attempt to make their mark, or have they come to beg… whatever one it is, everybody gets crushed anyway?

Soon, I exited the front door and greeted the two men with a gaze so cold that they could barely even look straight at me.

"What is it?" I asked, my voice even colder than my siberian eyes.

"We have come to ask you for help. The Bonebloom family has achieved too much power! They need to be knocked down a peg, and the only way we can do that is by working together!" One of the two men announced, still not confident in their measly plan.

"Hmmmmm… I think… not~," I smiled before a wave of green flames toppled from the top of the mansion and burned the army alive, leaving only the two commanders at the front to grit their teeth with anguish.

"Hoohhh… You're still alive. How fun," Cy muttered as his spear was soon coated in dark flames, and he dashed towards the just barely alive commanders.

Frightened by Cy's menacing presence, they stumbled back a few steps while creating two white clouds above their heads.

They reached into them and grabbed out their own weapons, but just as they reached out to block Cy's spear… his spear ripped through their weapons and tore through their torsos.

"He should be here anytime now," I smiled as I sat on the edge of the steps, staring down at the long stretch of road in front of me.

Tup Tup Tup Tup Tup

And finally, a boy with gunmetal-gray hair ran down the street, his face pale and his eyes filled with fear.
