Warlock of Oceans: My Poseidon System

FWOOSH

A massive web of blue flames connected over the cityscape, covering the entire plaza, erupting a few screams of terror but also garnering a few eyes of awe as they looked up at the spectacle. I was one of them.

Upon closer inspection, nine still wriggling bodies hung from their torsos on each strand of the blue web, slowly being consumed from the inside out by these blazing flames of liberation. Enjoy more content from empire

"Well? Shall we get going now?" My sister stretched out her hand, the web disintegrating, allowing the bodies to fall limply toward the ground.

And so, I took her hand and followed her down the dirty street, ignoring the screams of terror that echoed through the skyscrapers.

…

"Hey… are you going to kill our family?" I asked the young woman out of the blue, but she handled it quite well despite the lusting, killing intent hidden beneath that smile of hers.

"Nope…"

Her eyes scanned downwards towards me, but this time she looked at me with a bit of indifference, as if looking at a tool in a shed.

Clearly, she wanted me to get rid of the family, so I took all the blame… and to be honest, I didn't mind that since I wanted to usurp the throne of our household anyway.

I wanted all the fame and recognition that came with it, and even if it made me out to be an enemy of the city, I truly didn't care. As long as I got to slaughter those fuckers… I didn't care what my reputation would be.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Don't go killing them yet. I know what you want to do, but right now, your forces are scarce. I'll only help you if I see you have a chance of winning… okay?"

"Sure, but ummm… can I ask you a question that might seem really weird?"

"Whatever, go ahead,"

"Do you know where I can find the Temple of Light, or I think it goes by Elven Temple… something like that. Just a temple that holds apostles of light and the saintess and shit… that place. Do you know where I can find it?"

"I do know where you can find it, but first, tell me what you're doing there. It doesn't sound like you're there to have a bit of fun,"

"I'll be doing other things, so… can you tell me, or is such information restricted? Its existence is all over the internet, but no matter how deep I dive, I can't seem to find a shred of its location."

"Well, that's because the last time its location was revealed, a bunch of dark apostles raided the place. It barely came out unscathed, but since the light apostles are so forgiving, there was no war, and the dark apostles were practically untouched for another century until they fucked with the continental government."

"So, is that a no?"

"Well, you'll have to tell me your class and verify why exactly you want to go there… and what your intentions might be. I've managed to just barely establish decent relations with them, and if I send my brother in there, and he creates chaos, then I'll be completely fucked. My plans will slowly unravel,"

As my sister and I entered the lunch room, we were greeted by a few people before we were finally allowed to sit down in peace.

We didn't really get anything besides water to cleanse our parched throats, which eased the slight tension between us while I thought over the deal.

"Okay, fine. Do you want to pull out something to verify that I'm telling the truth?" I finally caved since discovering this strange side of me, which had been connected through the system, might be worth exposing a few things.

My sister swiftly pulled out her phone and opened up an app, and it seemed simple enough, so I placed my hand on her phone screen and watched the device calibrate.

"Okay, what is your class?" She asked. A simple enough question.

"Water magician…"

A slight tension expanded between us as the app began to go through various stages before finally shimmering with a bright… green.

I almost couldn't suppress my smile as the app actually accepted the fake truth I had spread out, and as my sister raised an eyebrow at my growing smile, I quickly spoke up.

"My bad, my bad… It's just… I didn't expect it to actually work… in fact, let me test a lie," I smiled in order to shake just a bit more suspicion off of my presence.

My sister let out a long sigh before staring up at me and asking yet another genuine question. "Do you love your family?"

"Absolutely," I smiled, and the app immediately went off, shimmering a bright red, confirming the previous events, which caused me to nearly burst out laughing.

Most lie detection works based on your heartbeat… but what if you could control your heartbeat? Then what? The lie detector will practically be useless.

"Okay, water magician. Pretty good. Now, why do you want to visit the Temple of Light?"

"I'm only visiting to establish good relations with them. Of course, I would like to garner their favor, as later, I will attempt to use them when attacking my family. I'm sure you could have assumed that already,"

The woman snorted slightly before chuckling under her breath, not expecting the words that had just flowed out of my mouth.

"Well, I guess I did," My sister continued to laugh after checking that the light was shimmering a bright green color.

It was. I mean, of course, it was. My heartbeat was at such a low resting point I doubt the app could even pick it up.

"Alright, I trust you, but if you tell anybody the location of the temple, I will be forced to kill them. I won't do anything to you, but they will be forced to die."

"I understand," I smiled, leaning closer in, but my sister quickly pushed me back before opening her mouth.

"The location will come to you at a random time, on a random person, at a random place. Nobody can know about this, okay?"
