Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 163 Battle Of The Tormented (13)



“I’m a Demonic Fire Mage,” Bella replied with a wide smile.

“How edgy,” I smirked, and Bella just rolled her eyes before sitting down on the bed next to me, glancing at the scars going around my neck.

“What happened to you after we fainted? It looks like you went through hell and back,” She muttered and then plopped down on the pillow next to Luna.

“I faced their commander who was just as strong as I had expected… no, even stronger than I anticipated. At first, I felt confident, then not as confident, then confident, and then finally I felt like if I wasn’t careful with each of my moves, I was going to die,”

“Do you think you survived cause of luck?” Cy asked.

“Absolutely. That guy was way too strong… even with my sudden burst in power, I felt like I was absolutely nothing compared to him. An ant, if you will,”

“Then how’d you win? Luck must not have been the only thing saving your ass….” Findir asked before taking some of my snacks.

“Oh, I unlocked a few new skills. They’re very powerful and just what I needed, which is also how I kept up with the commander,”

“Oh, then what’s your class?” Bella asked.

“It’s called the Prince of Blood. I had an option to become a warlord, but this class intrigued me way too much for me to not pick it,”

“Ohhhh, that sounds interesting,” Luna commented and then sat up on the bed, pushing Bella as she used her as some sort of lever in order to actually sit up straight.

“What the fuck was that for?”

“Yes,”

“Huh?”

Both of them had a strange exchange before Aisa finally spoke up about a more important topic that I knew everybody was wondering about.

“What happens next? The general hasn’t given us any other information or orders,”

“We don’t have to worry about anything else. I’m sure we’ve fulfilled our purpose, and we can leave everything else to the general… But I’m still itching to move around. They’re going to launch attacks on the main bases which hold the enemy’s families… This will be a turning point as to whether some will betray their side in order to protect their family or protect the chance of us going after the rest of their family,”

“Seems they’re going to have a much more stressful time,” Luna chuckled before hopping out of my bed and slapping my back.

“What the hell,”

“Come on. After classing up, I’m sure you feel much better than before. Let’s go get some food and then help with the battle… I’m sure they need us,” Luna smirked before dragging me out of the tent and into the chilly winter air.

The dead of winter was finally upon us, and snow slowly trickled down from the sky, setting the cold and lifeless mood of the battlefield not very far away.

My breath was ghostly as it clawed its way out of my mouth, the slightly chilly wind creating goosebumps across my entire body.

The camp was dead yet active as the scent of death lingered in the air, only to be wafted away by the healers quickly running in and out of the medical tents.

Their shouted requests were silent yet loud as they all muddled into a single mass of incomprehensible words that nobody could discern from very far away.

“Hey… Let’s all live a peaceful life once all of this is done. I never want to do something like this again,” Bella muttered as we all stared up into the dark and cloudy sky.

A full moon hung behind the layer of thick clouds, just barely creating enough moonlight to illuminate the camp.

“Agreed… I hate this place,”

“Yeah…”

“I guess,”

“Well, I have no other purpose since my family is on the brink of extinction… so I don’t mind,”

“Why not,” I replied before we all entered a tent that was filled to the brim with delicious fumes that made all of our mouths water.

Though, our agreement would not come true any time soon.

The next day, we received direct orders from the general to stay behind and protect the camp, so we all groaned as we wanted to test out our new powers in the final fight of this battle.

Everybody had fought long and hard, and now that the finish line was in reach, the mood of the camp was slightly lifted.

Everybody had come back from the frontline as the enemy had retreated upon having too many of their lieutenants and their single commander die.

Nobody was capable of leading them, and the soldiers made a smart move, though I doubt their higher-ups will be happy about it.

“Should we just sneak out?” Cy muttered, a bit dazed from the disappointing news.

“We could try and convince them. They’re heading out tomorrow, so we have the entire day to potentially convince him… Hey, you said you talked with the general, right? Then that means you must have a good relationship with him,” Bella said as she turned towards me.

“I could try, but I doubt he’ll listen to me. We only talked once, and though the meeting went well, I didn’t want to spoil the good air between us. Plus, an order from a general is absolute, so going against it would be treason… Let’s just stay behind,” I replied, and then Luna added a few things.

“If we stay behind, we’ll still get some action, so don’t worry. There will definitely be some people coming,”

“I hate that smile of yours,” Aisa muttered as she chucked a pillow at Luna’s face.

“Well, I hate your smile as well, so the feeling is mutual,” Luna replied, and as sparks flew inside our tent, we all just slowly backed away, ready to party hard with the rest of the army.

p And at the end of the night, we were all completely wasted to the point that none of us could barely even talk.

If an enemy decided to launch an attack on us now, then we would be killed in instant.

Of course, the general gave us an earful as well in the morning when they were just about to set off.
