Warlock of War: My Ares System

Various races congregated here, with the dark elves being the majority and all the other demons split into several subgroups. Some looked more elvish than others while some looked like completely different races, but at the heart of it all, everybody here was demonic. 

“Stop gazing off and follow me. You wanted to meet the boss, right?” The dark elf called me back to my senses and I instantly got absorbed into the nature-bound society. It could have been the skills quaking in my status, or it could have just been my lineage quaking in my DNA, but I felt very at home. 

“Yeah, my bad… I just didn’t expect this place to be so-” 

“Welcoming right?” The dark elf finished my sentence as I began to follow her. “Here we’re practically connected to nature. We can get as absorbed into it as possible and seeing how you look so connected with it… your words from before don’t mean much now… or are you starting to go back on your words?”

“It’s the skills in my status. I have a lot of affinities that connect back to my elven roots, but just because the system says something doesn’t mean the actual tangible life is the same way. It’s nothing but a stupid coincidence,” I replied and as she just smirked at me, we arrived at what seemed to be an adventurer guild. 

As we entered the bustling building of wood, I was greeted by a few unwelcoming eyes. I had no clue how they managed to pinpoint me out of every other demonic dark elf when I looked practically the same and didn’t even wear any exotic-looking clothes. 

“Our community here is quite close. If there is somebody everybody doesn’t recognize, you stand out by quite a lot… but don’t worry, it’s not that deep. They won’t do shit to you as long as you display your strength.” 

“Hmmmm…”

If I use a skill to accentuate my aura, that would be seen as showing off, giving me an arrogant display. But if I use my bloodlust or killing intent to accentuate an aura that shouldn’t be looked down upon, they’ll most likely see me as a threat… so for now I’ll just sit back and relax. I have no clue how long I’ll be staying here due to elements of time dilation, so making enemies wouldn’t be the smartest idea. 

We walked past the front desk where the receptionist looked at me with suspicion, but upon feeling the cold glare of the dark elf before me, she quickly looked away and silenced her hostility. And as we walked up a flight of stairs connecting at the top second floor, we were greeted by a few more adventures who were even stronger than the ones below.  𝒐𝑣𝗅xt.𝗇𝓔t

“Who’s this?” A demon snarled right at me, his killing intent practically shooting out to try and knock me down a peg. 

“He’s nobody. Just ignore him,” The dark elf said, but I couldn’t tell if it was a reply to the demon or a comment for me. Nevertheless, I ignored the demon still glaring at me while the surrounding dark elves gripping their weapons prepared themselves for a fight. “Don’t fight here.” 

SHING 

Despite her words, a single spear shot towards my throat, intending to kill me with a single strike. But it was so blatantly obvious. It moved like it was in slow motion as I dodged it, my hand coming up and breaking the blade off of the metal handle. 

I let out a grunt of excitement as my mouth twisted into a smile. The dark elf immediately running towards me, attempting to stop me from doing anything was useless as I took a step back out of her range, causing her to fall to her knees in front of me. She almost looked like she was groveling for forgiveness as a single swirl of wind fluttered my long white hair. 

[Sheer Tornado Body]

The other dark elves and the single demon which joined into the fight sent all of their weapons flying towards my vital points. Clearly, they underestimated me as they didn’t even care to use buffs, causing such flimsy weapons to snap in an instant. 

[Sheer Tornado Body] allowed any part of my body, even my head to become a tearing gust of wind. It still took the form of my body, but as soon as it spread throughout every inch and corner of my flesh, I looked nothing like a human. 

CLANG 

Their blades all folded into themselves as they crumbled upon meeting my body completely turned into a rushing gust of wind. It was not only denser and harder than metal, but it was probably as strong or stronger than an entire mountain compressed into a single marble. 

My chaotic smile burst through the gust of wind, sending chills down the spine of every single being present. But, just as I was about to twist their heads off with a stream of wind sliding off of my spinning vortex arm, a hand placed itself on my back. 

In an instant, my wind was dispersed immediately, but I didn’t retaliate. I felt like living longer so I calmed myself down with a click of my tongue and brushed the man’s hand off of my back. It was calloused beyond belief, giving it this gravelly feeling that sent a wave of disgust to flush through my body. 

“Boss, I apologize for the ruckus. I tried to prevent it, but you know how everybody is here,” The dark elf that had led me here took a single knee and lowered her head toward the man who stood right before me. 

Long limbs of black so dark they might as well have been night itself. He had to be at least as tall as Orion, scraping that seven feet mark. And with eyes carved from the finest and clearest quartz possible, he looked down at me with an amused smile. 

“You’re more reckless than I signed up for.”
