Warlock of War: My Ares System

Seems I was already chosen to be the first one sacrificed or whatever bullshit was about to happen, so as I was led up to the raised piece of stone with a massive white star painted across it, I turned back towards Bella.

She suddenly began to regret not going first upon seeing my comforting smile and struggled against the chains, begging to replace me.

But, as I turned to the demon lord, I just nodded, wanting to keep him here as long as possible.

"Your friends are here… but there's no way they'll be able to find this place-"

CRASH

Suddenly, the roof to the massive cavern we were in opened, scattering a ton of rocks that turned into shrapnel that crushed and cut some surrounding guards.

I, on the other hand, swiftly dodged the pieces that came near me, and Bella was the same, smiling as she saw our siblings, who looked a tad bit different, barreling through the roof.

"Oh man… that's kind of bad," The demon lord lightly smiled before raising his hand into the air, conjuring hundreds of portals around him that emitted different weapons.

Each and every single one of them was sharp and powerful, to the point that their tips glistened in this dark cave, ready to pierce my siblings and the other beings that swarmed through the roof.

They were like stinky pests that crawled and flapped their wings, directly locking onto the demon lord who just coldly gazed at them, ready to eradicate each and every single one of them.

He treated this like he was spraying a few bugs that suddenly needed to be taken care of… and as my siblings dodged the incoming weapons, the others behind weren't so lucky.

Their flesh was torn to bits, burned into ash, melted into goop, frozen in literal ice, the moisture in their flesh getting sucked out of them… every single status condition you could think of was enchanted into this array of godly weapons.

But soon, he stopped as he grabbed a single sword and twirled it in his hand, the air and slight shrubs around him decaying and withering into nothing.

"This was a sword granted to me by Hades himself… And I believe this is the best way to kill you… by sending you straight back to him,"

"Like I care… [Throne World…"
"[Throne World…" Both of their voices resonated, and a chilling sensation ran down my back as the siblings behind Orion hopped back a few times to create space.

"...DRIPPING HELL]!"

"...KALEIDOSCOPIC BASTION]!"

From now, it was obvious as to what had happened, and the world around them distorted into a mass of reflecting pieces of glass, and a hellish landscape was torn straight out of a biblical textbook.

This appearance was true hell.

Orion's skin suddenly cracked open in various places, pouring out gallons of blood which should have definitely killed him by now, but it felt like it just continued to pour and pour and pour and pour and pour until the ground below was covered in this gooey red liquid.

My throat went dry as the blood began to form into several minions with knife ears, yet they were different from elves.

They were deathly pale and had blood-red eyes, their backs were laced with the wings of a bat, and their long red hair seemingly flowed to the ground.

"Vampires?" I muttered as about one hundred of them charged forward, Orion at the back suddenly placing a red crown atop his head.

His red eye glowed even more while his distant purple eye bled, only stopping upon closing it fully.

"How amusing," The demon lord muttered as he swung his sword, the glass-like atmosphere around him reinforcing and attaching itself to each of his swings.

They were grand and beautiful, and their destructive power was unmatched as it tore through these waves of vampires who came from below, the air, and from each and every side.

As the blade grazed their skin, massive gashes would open, pouring out even more blood that would harden and turn into spikes that burst towards the demon lord.

Once again, his unmatched sword destructively swung through these vampire corpses that emitted such a deadly move that only a demon lord was able to dodge it… yet, Orion wasn't nearly done.

A thin spear and an insanely long spear, almost in the shape of a cross, were held tightly within the palm of his right hand.

It vibrated with tinges of blood exploding off of it, just displaying the idle power of this solid and near-powerful weapon.

VWOOM

As Orion swung it, his single eye, which was bloodshot and now had a crown shape around his pupil, began to bleed even more.

Each swing caused more blood to rip straight out of his body and be used as reinforcment as not only did it tear through the atmosphere, but it tore through his very own vampires that didn't mind giving up their life for their master.

"What the hell… what has he been doing…." Bella muttered behind, and only then did I realize my siblings were rushing towards me to attempt to take me out of this place.

I swiftly followed them, noticing some of their changes which were most likely through evolution.

"What about Orion?" I asked, looking back at the battle, which emitted an aura so strong that not a single lifeform could approach such a clash.

"He'll be with us in a bit… don't worry," Cy reassured me, but the way he looked now… was like he would never want to escape from this battle.

It was like he wanted to end this right here and now.

…

(Orion POV)

I wanted to end this right here and now without my siblings around.

I did a good job at managing to make sure they escaped with the others while I took on this demon lord head-on.

For a quick second, I thought my convincing didn't work… but it seemed they trusted me way more than I thought.

"Almost makes me feel guilty," I lightly chuckled before raising my spear into the air and screaming. "LET'S TAKE THIS TO NEXT LEVEL, SHALL WE?!"
