Warlock of War: My Ares System

406 How Strong Are They?!



"My Master's name mustn't be said so lightly. Even if you are his friends, I don't believe I'm allowed to name him like that… but if you would like to meet him, please follow me." 

"Where are you leading us, though? We still need to meet up with one of our friends at the Capital of Leviathan's territory," Findir asked just as the woman snapped her fingers, causing all of the dhampirs, including the newly turned ones, to disappear into a massive cloud of smoke. 

"It seems we are heading in the same direction. My Master also resides there, so I could potentially guide you if you follow me to his quarters." 

"*sigh*... wait a second…" Bella reluctantly agreed before turning her head to four men, bruised and battered, standing straight up just a few feet away. Their eyes were completely and utterly lifeless while a purple aura surrounded their heads, seemingly manipulating their brains with pink strings that dug into through their skull. 

Suddenly, the aura disappeared, and they dropped to the ground, their minds coming back to life, and the pain of getting burnt and cut by the debris quickly rushed and overwhelmed them. They screamed and writhed on the ground before Luna went up to each and every single one of them, crushing their heads with a single foot. One. By. One. 

… 

It took us nearly a day and an entire night of running to reach the capital, but once we had arrived, infiltrating was as easy as pie due to the fact that the vampire was able to cloak us with her bats. We were practically invisible, and the fact that we were carried effortlessly over the tall stone walls only made the feat even more impressive. 

There was no need to infiltrate the initial gate as we were able to quickly scale the walls with the bats lifting us up without a care in the world. And upon reaching the other side, we found an initial slum that served as the base of this tiered capital. 

It all slowly tilted upwards the further you went in until the massive castle of what I presumed to be the demon lord's fortress presented itself. Towering with massive white pillars and an almost royal amount of quartz lined the outside, practically screaming that nobody but the highest of the highest beings could even approach it.

"Well, he seems like an asshole," I muttered before we continued to fly over the capital until a small villa with an open training ground overlooking most of the capital revealed itself. It was definitely of nobility as it glimmered with an arrogant aura. 

"Alright, we're here," The vampire muttered before the flock of bats took us down to the training grounds and gently let us rest before scattering into dark smoke. We all took a quick glance around, gazing over the incredible architecture and its fascinating amount of detail. 

As I finished looking over everything and sucking in the blood-tainted air, we all turned back towards the vampire, who just stood there, uneasy. She continuously kept looking around like she was lost until finally pinpointing her sense of uneasiness. 

"There was a fight here between two incredible beings… can you all feel it? It must have been my Master and the other girl he was with…." 

"Okay, then, can you take us to this Master?" Luna asked, and while the vampire frowned, she still led us into the building and then onto the second floor. The walk wasn't as peaceful as I had hoped since the entire time we were there, I felt uneasy. We were definitely being watched by something or someone. 

"Hey, you feel that, right?" Bella nudged me. 

"Yeah… it's them. They're here." 

Soon, we arrived at a pale gray door. Its handle was oozing with malice, and as the vampire slowly approached it, nearly gripping it with her hand, she stopped. She stopped right in her tracks as if she had come to some realization. As if she come to some kind of conclusion that forced her to retreat her hand and take a few steps back. 

"He's terrifying. My Master has undergone… I don't know… some kind of transformation," The vampire began to sweat profusely while my friends and I just kept glancing at each other. We all felt it—the presence of a familiar being. And as the presence seemed so different that they were almost a completely foreign person, we couldn't help but stay wary. 

"Haven't you all stayed the same." 

All of a sudden, a chilling voice grazed the backs of our necks. A presence that was never even there in the first place appeared out of thin air. We all hesitated to turn around as two ice-cold eyes radiating some kind of golden glow dug into us. They held an almost electric amount of power that could crush us at any given moment. 

"Aisa?" I heard Findir almost gasp as he turned around, so I also swiveled my head, only to meet eyes with a goddess. 

She still looked the same age, held the same mature and cold tone, and enveloped us in a blanket of icy skills and words… yet she was different. Very different. With long pure white hair and golden eyes that glistened like two brightly electric-infused suns, she created an aura and presence so different from before that I could hardly recognize her. 

"What did you do?" The vampire suddenly questioned the woman, but upon feeling her eyes go cold and sink their icy teeth into her skin, she looked down as if respecting a higher being. And well, she wasn't wrong, as it felt like we were talking to royalty. 

"I've become somebody stronger than before… so I'm hoping you all… my friends can do the same," Aisa smiled, slowly circling us before reaching the pale gray door. The aura it held around its bronze handle was menacing and even caused the newly rebirthed Aisa to hesitate. "And I assume you would like to see Orion… then, please go ahead. I think he's meditating."
