Warlock of War: My Ares System

182 Ancient Torterras Trial (2)

"How cute," I smirked before placing all of my strength in my arms and swinging down with the power of a mountain behind me.

[Round 24 is commencing]

[You have swiftly passed Round 24]

[You have acquired the Healing Pill: Natures Bloom]

After a while, all of the rounds began to blur into one big fight, and I almost lost my mind amidst this hellish trial.

The only thing keeping me alive and sane was the Nature Bloom pills which eased my stress and healed my body to the perfect condition… but even with that, I was on the brink of imploding.

[Round 51 is commencing]

[You have swiftly passed Round 51]

[You have acquired the Healing Pill: Natures Bloom]

Soon, I could no longer feel my body, but I continued to move on my own in hopes of stopping this trial.

Whenever I asked Master when I could stop fighting, he would always just tell me a few more rounds and then proceed to give me ten more rounds after.

But, just as I lost hope that I would ever escape this trial, I reached the final round.

[Round 100 is commencing]

[You have reached the Final Round]

I was invigorated back to life upon eating the last healing pill, and with the boost of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, I got my shit together and started fighting as hard as possible.

This time I was fighting one of his Dark Knight Commanders: Raknes, a talented individual who specializes in magic and the way of the sword.

He uses a long and dark, black blade with almost impenetrable dark armor, but with the help of my trusty spear's sharpness, I was slowly able to chip away at his chest plate.

I also made sure to toss in a few blunt blows in order to widen the cracks and cause a bit of internal damage… which I used perfectly to my advantage.

[Tangible Bloodlust]

I stomped down hard onto the ground, shaking the earth beneath me and causing an eruption of bloodlust to explode from my body.

After my newest evolution, my control and the overall pool of bloodlust had exponentially risen, thus allowing me to coat a cavelike this in a thick and sticky aura.

It bogged down the dark knight's movements, and even has he used his nature magic, and earth magic to try and tie me down, my [Blood Envision] would automatically respond to this and cut it.

It was like an extra consciousness protecting me and also looking for any openings that it could slip its blood-stained hands in.

"And now… for the finale," I muttered with a smile so wide that the tips of it touched my ears, and I could feel my lips cracking.

Both of us were covered in wounds from head to toe, leaking so much blood that I could probably turn it all into another blood pill.

"How intriguing… I've never seen somebody fight so hard before," The dark knight before me muttered and then looked back at Master, who gave him a slow nod.

I was a bit confused as to what this was about, but the dark knight's next comment informed me of everything.

"He has given me permission to use 5% of my original power. Prepare yourself, boy because anybody who encounters this skill ends up dying,"

"Like I give a shit,"

I activated [Cloack of Blood], causing a literal, tangible dark red cloak of blood to coat my body and enhance my power even more.

It felt like my body was going to explode from the amount of power surging through my veins.

"I haven't had this much fun in a while! COME ON, BOY! DON'T DISAPPOINT ME!" He shouted and then took a deep stance before green vines, and an earthy mud swirled around his sword, slowly growing darker and more evil with each passing second.

The vines spread to his body, forcing his blood to flow towards his arms and legs, and the earth reinforced the rest, making sure he wouldn't collapse as he charged up this move… but I wasn't about to let him finish.

FWOOSH

I dashed in and cocked up a swing with so much power behind it that it sent chills down the dark knight's spine.

A haze of blood swirled around my spear, and the bloodlust radiating from me was enough to tear a platoon apart.

CLANG

But, I was too late as he swung his spear and collided with my swing, both of us frozen in place as our weapons fought against each other.

Our bodies were on the bring of collapsing, but our weapons hadn't given up.

Sparks of red and black lightning shot through the cave, tearing the walls, floor, and ceiling apart until only rubble remained.

Master prevented the cave from collapsing in on itself, but even with his level of control, he was wondering if he could keep this up.

And then, the deciding factor came.

The skin under my left eye throbbed, and it felt as if somebody was branding a seal onto it with a hot poker.

The tattoo of roses on my hand spread to my body and wrapped around my throat with a strange hold so tight that I could barely breathe.

Fwip

I suddenly let go of my spear, causing the man to follow all the way through with his swing, completely missing me and cracking my spear.

Though, I didn't dodge to the sides or back… instead, I closed the distance between us and let out an earth-shattering blow, completely crushing his armor and denting his chest.

BOOOOM

He was sent flying across the room, and as I held onto my broken hand, I prayed he wouldn't get back up.

"*cough*... *cough*... Shit…"

Though, he did, and his spear from behind me ripped straight through the side of my body, tearing off a large chunk of flesh.

Vines began to sprout from my wound, and as the man used his weapon to stand up, he looked at me with a proud expression.

"You're strong," He muttered before suddenly turning into mud that flopped onto the ground lifelessly.
