Warlock of War: My Ares System

As I smiled, everybody cocked their heads to the side in confusion like puppies unable to understand their owner.

“Don’t act like that. You heard the info, right? There are new guys being sent here, and we will try to assassinate some of them with the power of sniping! Yayyyyyyy! How fun!” Aisa monotonously cheered before standing up.

We had nothing else to say, so the meeting ended swiftly after.

We took the entire day to prepare our gear, making sure nothing would jam, nothing would get in the way, and nothing would cause our unearned death.

So, once night came, we swiftly left the mansion in our blacked-out assassination-looking clothes and made our way towards the Bonebloom household where everybody was currently staying.

It had to be in chaos as of now, so we needed to take this as our chance to pick off a few of them.

“So, we going for the weakest one, first?” Aisa asked once we had arrived at the highest spot near the mansion, only about six hours later.

We were able to run faster than any other car, and we didn’t even have to follow roads, but we still took so long to get here… but at least we still had four or so more hours to do our mission.

“Yep,”

And if it didn’t work, then we could just wait another day-

[Next Side Quest has been revealed]

[Reward: [Proficieny Book – Long Ranged Weapons]

[Penalty Upon Failure: [-10 All Stats]

[Time Left: One Week]

.

“Tch… the reward is pretty good, but the penalty is so atrocious. Tens stats for running away? Goddammit,” I muttered under my breath.

“What? Something wrong?” Aisa asked.

“Nah, it’s nothing… just keep preparing,” I said while gritting my teeth at the bullshit side quest in front of me.

I should just give the book to Aisa once it is over since I don’t see myself using a bow or some other long-range weapon in the future.

After only waiting for half an hour, we caught a glimpse of some of our targets sparring outside in the middle of the night.

Clearly, they were trying to settle some conflict, but their battle was just too powerful for their surroundings to handle.

Right now, a fire mage and a lightning mage were currently going at it, and though their skills weren’t anything really unique, their firepower was insane.

Each lightning bolt was almost as powerful as the one Bella could make, but the user could use it in rapid succession as if it cost only one mana.

On the other hand, the fire user was creating pillars of fire so large you’d think they were trees from a distance.

Each time they clashed, parts of the mansion would crumble, and the Bonebloom kids couldn’t do anything about it.

“I see… so in terms of our cities standards, they’re considered one-man armies… but in terms of the outside cities… they’re just chess pieces to be disposed of,” I muttered with a weary smile.

Then does that mean some of the D-rank adventurers out there are as strong as me? What kind of bullshit is that?

“What’s wrong again?” Aisa sighed as she kept her binoculars on the fight not too far away from us.

Maybe about one hundred meters away… nothing we couldn’t handle.

“I just had a terrifying thought, and I hope it isn’t true… anyway, let us continue with the plan. I’ll go and release the people from the warehouses, and once they escape, you’ll pick off a few of them, okay?”

“Are you going to be able to make it back quick enough?” Aisa asked, a bit of worry lingering in her throat.

But that worry branched off the fact that I wouldn’t be able to pick off some of them, leaving all the excitement to her… what a crazy thing I’ve raised.

“Okay, let’s start,” I muttered before making my way down the large building and quickly infiltrating the first warehouse.

It was made completely of metal, so breaking it down wouldn’t be the best option, but if I exposed an opening to some of the eager ones within here, then they’ll definitely take it.

The eager ones weren’t hard to find as they were mostly huddled around the entrance, eyeing the guards… who I swiftly killed upon them, changing shifts with another four guards.

After waiting for another thirty minutes, they took action after I slipped some information that the head of the Bonebloom family was killed.

They all began to charge out, and as guards tried to push them back in, they were completely overwhelmed by the ones who had some skill in creating makeshift weapons.

Each weapon wasn’t the best and broke easily upon colliding with a real one, but the users were skilled enough to go for vitals, leaving the weapons to break in these special spots.

I proceeded to repeat this process two more times before the last warehouse got the gist of the situation and followed after.

Thousands upon thousands of angry men, women, and children charged toward the Bonebloom household, only to be slaughtered by the Bonebloom Descendents, who quickly came out, clearly panicking.

“Hey, where are the commanders?” I asked Aisa as they were supposed to check up on her as soon as the plan began.

They were going to be covering our flank, and if they betrayed me once more, I swear I was going to chase them down the ends of the planet before they could even have a chance to rest.

“They already came here. I picked off one of them, but they’ve noticed our location… isn’t that handy?” Aisa muttered before taking another shot.

This time, she shattered the lightning mage’s shoulder blade, leaving him to drop to the ground, writhing in pain.

Aisa’s expression warped into that of a sadistic smile as four figures began to run in our direction.
