Warlock of War: My Ares System

Well, the commander gave us a description, but it was vague as hell, so I doubt it was going to help me.

Upon climbing up a few hundred floors, we finally reached the top of the building, which gave us just enough sight into the camp only a few hundred meters away.

Obviously, in order to prevent snipers, the camp was built in a way where it was hard to catch a glimpse of anybody from the side of the city, but the entrance wasn't safe.

"Can you hit a moving target?" I asked Aisa as we set up on the roof of the building.

The harsh breeze ruffled our hair, and the howling winds seemingly cheered on our dangerous act.

"Depends how fast it is moving,"

"What about distance?"

"I can hit a target at any distance… Plus, we're so high up that bullet drop would be minimal… making this the easiest shot of my life,"

Chuck… Chick

Aisa loaded a bullet into her chamber, and as I used the scope of my sniper to scout out the entire place, I realized some important figures were already there.

"I guess the vague descriptions are helping out a lot," I chuckled before quickly tossing my sniper behind me.

I proceeded to grab a pair of binoculars and observed for the next hour.

…

"Orion~... I'm so bored. Can't I shoot them already? I can hit them from here… This sniper isn't suppressed, so the power mixed with a touch of gravity can still shatter their skull through walls," Aisa complained.

I was confident she could do what she described, but I wasn't about to risk it, especially when there were three targets we needed to hit.

The sponsors are from the Boisgeze family, so now I understood why the Wony head wanted me to come here.

It was like they were still at war, but indirectly… well, I guess that is what war is like, especially between two wealthy families.

They'll try to eat their forces up and eventually just dwindle them down to a size where they can swallow them whole.

"Oh, there we go. They're finally leaving… Do you see the three arrogant-looking people? They have dripped out suits and messy brown hair,"

"Ah, the ones about to leave?"

"Yep… Hold on. I'm sure they'll be ready for snipers, so keep your scope turned away. The glint will reveal us," I muttered and then activated [Scout].

It was as if I was using binoculars but without the chance of ever getting caught using them.

"Alright, once they're driving away, they'll be an open target. Aim for the one sitting in shotgun, and I'll aim for the one sitting in the driver's seat since I have a suppressed sniper, and I think I'll be able to penetrate that glass,"

"Sure, sure… Alright, wind… east… Good… Harsh winds, but it should still be doable. Bullet drop should be minimal… So I have to aim… about here.. Sssssssss,"

A familiar sound which was caused by breathing through your teeth and then molding the breath with your tongue came from Aisa.

She squeezed her chest with her left hand, and once her eyes looked as if they were about to gloss over, she stopped inhaling.

She was so silent that I almost forgot she was there.

Her bloodlust was undetectable… and finally…

BAM

She shot, and I shot.

"Motherfuckers… They used magic reinforced windows. But it seems they didn't do the same for the car's exterior," I smirked as Aisa had completed her job by killing the one in the passenger seat.

The ones in the back weren't really needed as they were talentless and only sucked up to the one in shotgun.

"Okay, let's head back-"

All of a sudden, a light rustling sound came from the floor below us, but it was way too early for people to begin invading this building.

I gave Aisa some signals, and we both posted up beside the entrance to the roof, where we gripped a single combat knife in our dominant hand.

The rustling got louder and louder until finally, somebody began to walk up the steps to the roof.

We both swallowed a large drop of saliva, and finally…

Click… Creeeeek

The door slowly opened, and as we gripped the knives tighter in our hands, a little girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old walked through the door and onto the roof.

"Excuse me… C-Can you help me," She muttered, and just as she passed the door, we launched from our spots and stabbed directly into the target.

"What the fuck… How…" He muttered as he faded out of his semi-invisible state and plopped to the floor, blood spilling onto his black clothes.

"Mister… Miss… Please help me," The girl muttered as she then turned towards us and revealed an irresistible face.

She was way too cute for her own good.

Her long white hair, circular face, and baby blue eyes made her almost seem like a doll, but she was clearly human, from what I could tell.

But, one thing was strange… she clearly knew we were up here while the person who tried to ambush her wasn't aware of our presence.

I stopped Aisa from hugging her and pulled her back towards me.

"Who are you, and where do you come from?" I quickly asked as Aisa pouted and tried to rip my hand off the back of her shirt.

"I-I don't know. I just woke up here," She muttered with teary eyes, and as Aisa finally released herself from my grip, she tightly hugged the little girl.

"Do you know how old you are?"

"N-No… Please, I want to see my mommy,"

"Well, that's a shame,"

Soon, we heard people storming the place, so Aisa immediately picked up the little girl and held her as I picked up all our stuff.

We then jumped off of the tall building.

We followed the long concrete pillar which separated two windows, and upon reaching close to the bottom, we stabbed our combat knives into the concrete, just barely breaking our fall.

"Damn, I dislocated my shoulder," I muttered as we ran as hard as possible.

The steed we used had already been killed, so this was our last resort.
