Warlock of War: My Ares System

"We will pierce through the center. As soon as I release my bow, you will destroy them, and then when I signal once again, you will split to the right or to the left. The choice is up to you," Lu Bu ordered, tearing apart soldiers like they were mere leaves falling from a tree.

Slowly, he took the massive bow, which probably weighed at least half of his weight from the massive horse that only it could withstand the weight of.

He placed his blood-stained halberd and locked onto a man on a massive horse at the very back of the battlefield.

The general of the opposing side quickly noticed as the halberd had been cocked back into place, ready to release at a moment's notice.

A wall of shields gathered before him… but it was practically air before this man's combination of weapons.

ZWOOM


The air lifting and pressing down on the battlefield almost seemed weightless, gravity not even an option as the man's bow lit with a bursting golden flame similar to the same color as his near angelic halo of sweat that gathered around his back.

Every single human, bug, and animal watching pauses for just a moment, their eyes glued to the god who had just descended to our mortal realm.

He looked like a god who had come down to punish all he sees unfit of living, his cold eyes accentuating this dark and frightening idea.

He almost looked like he had come to this battlefield not to win the war but instead to kill and slaughter his enemies, coldly looking down on the men who blocked his path with useless metal shields.
"BRACE!" The general at the back of the opposing army shouted, but as Lu Bu had finished cocking the flaming halberd back, his fingers slowly released.

Time almost seemed to slow down before returning to normal, a massive strike of lightning horizontally crossing everybodies vision, freezing their bodies in place.

"Huff… huff… huff… huff… What the hell was that?" I wheezed, out of breath from just watching the spectacle that had appeared before me.

His halberd magically created flames and upon release the halberd had disintegrated and turned into a literal bolt of lightning that struck past the wall of shields and tore every single molecule in the enemy's general to shreds.

It was almost like he had evaporated from existence, the man who had just released such a powerful attack raising his massive wooden bow into the air.

"CHARGEEEEEEE!" The general roared as adrenaline pumped through my veins, a rush of excitement brought me to whip my horse, causing it to sprint right towards the enemy.

I felt unstoppable with such a godly being at my side, and just like that, we began to overwhelm our opponents, the shifting tides of morale slowly working in our favor.

Some opposing men attempted to fight back while most just ran away, their tails between their legs and trails of piss wettening their leather pants.

And it wasn't much longer uintil the fight had ended, and everybody raised their weapons into the air, chanting the name of our heavenly general.

"LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU! LU BU!"

It was impressive how long the chant roared on, but eventually, all good things must come to an end, and most importantly, we must finish the main reason as to why we were here.

"EVERYONE! RAID THE TOWN! DO NOT KILL INNOCENTS! BRING PEOPLE WHO YOU MIGHT THINK ARE IMPORTANT STRAIGHT TO ME!" The general ordered just as we all began to gather ourselves, feeling the rush slowly fade out of our bodies.

We all marched towards the oh-so-important town, contiously chanting the name of our general while horrified screams echoed throughout the walls of this trade center.

I was hoping I could find somebody who would inform me more about this world because, clearly, this wasn't earth. Clearly, the general just used magic, something impossible before the great conversion.

"Wait… now that I think about it… didn't somebody in the previous teacher quest also uses magic? And… wait… didn't the gods talk about this… with the smithing god or something?" I muttered, feeling pieces of the past flood into my mind.

Wait, then wouldn't that mean even before the world even had mana, the gods were-

"NEWBIE!" A man shouted straight into my ear, laughing with his other men before gesturing for me to follow him. "Let's go. Don't you want to have some fun?" The man smiled, lightly licking his lips as soon as we passed through the front gates.

This disgusting pig… not like it's my business…

"But I just don't really like you. If I could, I would stab a stick through your head and wave it through the air like a flag," I muttered coldly, causing the other men riding horses to quickly glance at the captain, who was bright red from embarrassment.

"F-FOLLOW ME!" He shouted, and normally people would have attempted to escape, but I knew he would cause me trouble later on… so I decided to just deal with it now.

There were no direct orders for the horseback riders, so we all grouped up and went deep into the two before reaching a semi-remote area where people hadn't hidden.

"Now, lower your spear unless you want me to slice off your-"

A blast of dark aura exploded from my body, instantly chopping off the man's head, leaving everybody around me staggering in place, puzzled, confused, and most of all, fearful of me as they could barely crack open their lips.

"Oh, what a shame. He was a good captain, but I guess he couldn't handle the pressure of being in that position… suicide… how sad… am I right?" I sadistically smiled at the remaining members, who lightly nodded before turning away, holding back the urge to throw up as the captain's head rolled through the streets.
