Arpious of the Planes

"Sadness," I muttered, and a blue oni mask appeared on my face.

"Wait, wait, wait! I didn't come here to fight," The man suddenly changed his attitude, but I didn't care as I sliced my scythe towards him, and he blocked it with his greatsword.

"Shut up,"

"*sigh*... You're as aggressive as always," He muttered before dashing towards me, and his feet created a dent in the ground.

SHING

He swung down on me, and I just barely managed to dodge it, but his next attack came so fast that I couldn't retaliate.

Dragon teeth began to protrude from the cracked stone floor, and they were so sharp and powerful that they could cut my skin with just a touch.

Tup Tup

I landed on both my feet before feeling power swell from within me.

[Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Flame]

A black flame coated my scythe, and as soon as I swung down, I felt the weight of my scythe lift off my hands.

I glanced down from the man and noticed he had cut both of my arms with massive dragon teeth that protruded from the ground.

I jumped back before activating [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Healing], which created golden liquid flames that dripped from my tongue onto my two cut arms.

The arms disappeared and then suddenly reappeared back on my body, surprising the man as he hadn't seen this before.

"My, my… You've gotten much stronger… But did you think that was my full power back on that plane?" The man says, and all of a sudden, the space around me shifted as if it was cut in half.

ROOOOOOOOOAAAAAR

A few massive dragons appeared in the room, craning their necks downward in order to not break the castle around us.

"Come on, Arpious… I thought you were better than that," The man says after clicking his tongue.

Slowly, I removed the blue oni mask, causing it to disappear into thin air, just as I began to speak up.

"Fine, you win,"

I raised my hands into the air while feeling the hot breath of the black and red dragons brush against me.

"Also, I thought you were a commander… I guess not," I rolled my eyes while glancing at the few nobles being crushed under the weight of the dragons.

"Of course, I'm not a commander. Commanders are much weaker than me… I am a personal aid of one of the king's, and per the request of Lucifer, I came to this plane to retrieve the ancient frost,"

"So you were after it… Also, why are you here if you didn't come to kill me anyway?" I ask while slowly raising my scythe in front of me.

"Trust me… I want to kill you as well,"

The man's bloodlust once again explodes from his body, and the dragons surrounding him reacted to it, causing them to breathe black flames that began to shake the floating castle we were on.

I also couldn't help but swallow a drop of saliva as this man was much stronger than when I had previously fought him.

It must've been a clone or something because his power has been practically doubled since our last fight.

"But, I can't because it is a request per Lucifer's orders as well. She is quite the feisty one when it comes to orders, so if I slip up once... I'll most likely die,"

"Okay, get on with it,"

"Quite some angry words for somebody who can die at any moment,"

"Tch… Just go,"

"As you wish… Kaiser," The man taunts me as I sit back down onto my throne, but the man wasn't having any of it as a dragon lowered its head which he then jumped on.

The dragon then brought him close to me, and we were now at eye level.

"So, my magnificent and benevolent ruler has given you an offer that you can't refuse. I was told to eliminate you if you do, but even if you do manage to escape, I'll just kill your precious woman here," The man says as she looks at Loni.

"Huh, you think I care about that woman?"

"Yes… You do care about that woman,"

But before I could say anything back, he began to explain the proposal.

"You will join the demonic army and climb your way up the ranks. That also means you have to help us retrieve the ancient frost and everything else we need to get. You won't be given a reason, but we'll also provide you with everything you could ever need… even if you do start off as a foot soldier," The man says.

'Take it… It's an offer that you can't resist,'

Any average person would've been like, "I will never yield to the darkness! I will always stay by my friend's sides!"

But why should I do that?

There was no con to me joining them besides the hate from Amanda and Loni… which will hurt a bit, but there is a way to fix that.

Hey, what if I join their side but act as a double agent. I'll be the mastermind of the war on this plane and take all the benefit in the end… While also making The Kingdom of Frost Moths the sole remaining survivor.

'That's a good plan, but you are incapable of achieving such a thing. If Kumo was here, she might've been able to do it, but not you,'

That's why I have you. Just tell me what I need to do… simple as that… but I am the one with the final say.

I won't be following any orders that I don't want to do.

'You've changed….'

What do you mean by that?

'Before, you were so arrogant that I could barely give you any advice, but now you are asking for advice. Plus, you even admitted defeat for the first time in your life… I feel like a proud mother… *sniff*... *sniff* I might even cry,' My inner demon mutters as I hear her hold back stifled tears.

Dude, stop. You're giving me second-hand embarrassment…

"Hello~ Your answer?" The man asks, and the dragon prompts me with a ferocious breath of fire that I deflected with my own black flames.

"Fine… But you have to give me a few beautiful women and good living quarters," I say, and the man's smile widens.

"Very good, now you are my subordinate,"

"Mhm… Anyway, leave. I have to finish this meeting,"

"Sure, but I'll be contacting you later as I want you to work as a spy. Make sure nobody finds out; otherwise, I'm going to kill you," The man says, but just before he left, he also asked to see my status.

…

"Angry? Why are you angry?" The man chuckled.

'Just hold it in until he leaves…'

"Also, this status is a bit different from what I was given… Thank you very much… my subordinate," The man taunts once more before warping away.

"BASTARD!" I shout before breaking my throne into pieces.

'I guess you didn't swallow as much pride as I thought,'
