Warlock of War: My Ares System

"προσευχές για τους πεσόντες,"

…

(Orion POV)

After the little burial session and small funeral we held, we made our way back to the mansion, of course, without our little troubles.

I mean, we were currently in the midst of war, and going out unguarded like this is a free target on our back for people to fuck us.

"I'll take care of th-"

"Shut the hell up and stand there," Aisa muttered, and as her bloodlust exploded out towards the cloaked figures, they all froze in place.

Before, they looked as if they were ready to brawl it all out and go for our swiftly, but now they just look like a bunch of pathetic ants.

"Try not to torture them for too long!" I shouted as Aisa took a step forward, creating a bolt of lightning in the clouds above her.

She then took another step, causing a bolt of lightning to shoot from where she stepped, paralyzing the enemies with pure and utter fear.

"Hey dickwads, you came to us. Don't go backing out now," Aisa muttered before a bolt of lightning struck beside her, forming a pair of magical lightning daggers that she gripped with her bare hands.

They clearly weren't really lightning, but from how they appeared and the power they emitted, they obviously weren't fucking around.

Even I don't think I could hold them so carelessly.

Her eyes began to bleed thick yellow blood as she took another step forward, shaking the earth around her like a crack of thunder.

[A sadistic god smiles down at the scene below him]

Seems she's already drawn the attention of the gods, but this lightning… this lightning isn't normal at all.

Before, it was weaker than normal lightning, but as it grew into two longer daggers, it absorbed and created more power from within it.

Each spark that flew off of it destroyed the buildings around it, having as much power as some of Bella's stronger skills.

"This is my strongest skill… So I commend you if you survive this… [Funeral of the Storm]," Aisa muttered before disappearing into a blur of snow.

Huh? When did it start snowing?

Her body which turned into snow mixed with the surrounding falling snow, completely erasing all proof of her existence.

It was as if she was never here with us in the first place.

And then, a trace of mana appeared in the distance, my harshly trained senses just barely keeping up with Aisa's movements as she slit the throat of each and every single cloaked person in front of us.

Once she returned to my side, I took a few steps back and watched the unbelievable spectacle unfold.

The bodies which slowly fell limp to the ground were struck by massive bolts of lightning, creating craters and cracks in the ground that ran up and down the street, leaving their mark on the world.

"That's quite the powerful skill you have there," I muttered as the bodies slowly faded into ash and disappeared with the passing wind.

But just as everything died down, Aisa still didn't reply to me… and I soon realized why as she fainted with me, just barely catching her body.

"Geez… what the hell," I muttered as she was sweating bullets and her breathing was heavy, but she wasn't having a nightmare… so what could it be?

…

"She has mana sickness. She used a large quantity in such a short amount of time that her mana veins couldn't handle the pressure of all that mana traveling through them… Do you know why she had to push herself so hard?" The doctor explained and then asked an easy question.

"We were ambushed, and she was already pretty mad… so she said she was using her most powerful skill, which… to be honest… might be more powerful than Bella's most powerful skill," I said, and then Bella looked at me with a glare.

"There's no way. I haven't even shown it to you all yet,"

"Hm, then maybe not. But that's beside the point… Will she make a full recovery?" I asked the doctor of the Wony household.

He also helped on working with the head, so I knew he was proficient in his work… but not nearly enough to figure out the truth behind the head's sickness.

He's somehow managed to delay his death for a bit, but if he doesn't get his shit together quick, he will die without a doubt… I hope.

I just hope this doctor isn't too good.

"She definitely will, but she will be out of commission for at least a day or two. And after that, for a few more days, she will not be allowed to use mana. This could have some serious side effects, so no skills once she's out of infirmary… well, until after a few days, of course,"

"Thanks, doc," Cy said before all of us quickly left the room.

"So, what really happened?" Bella asked, getting right up to my face as she knew I was about to lie my ass off.

I wanted to keep this between us… but I guess I should share it.

"Her grandfather died, but the part I just said was entirely true. Either she'll be filled with rage, filled with overwhelming sadness, or possibly just be empty… that could definitely happen," I explained, and both Cy and Findir immediately put everything together.

"I knew his combat was too good to be true, and I'm assuming he got jumped by his former comrades. What a shame. He was a great guy," Findir muttered.

"Is there anything we should do for her?" Luna asked, and everybody looked at her with a strange glance.

"I think the demon has taken over Luna's body," Bella said, and we all nodded our heads in agreement.

"Hey! What are you doing!? It's me!" Luna exclaimed as we were about to beat the living shit out of her.

"Yeah, right! Luna would never say such a polite thing!"

We all laughed and laughed until we couldn't laugh anymore before having a peaceful and light-hearted dinner with Aisa, who only woke up a few hours later.
