Arpious of the Planes

"You're quite strong… I'll give you that," I say before healing my arm with [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Healing] and then lifting her up.

She tried to break my arm again, but now I was resisting, so I began to punch her into the ground continuously while she tried to fight over the control of my arm.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

"You did a great job," I muttered before tossing her to the side.

Another succubus stepped up, and she drew a bow made of flames this time.

The arrow was made of flames as well, and as soon as it was shot at me, it felt as if a bullet was quickly approaching my face.

Zing

It even sounded like a bullet, but as soon as it hit the ground behind me, a massive explosion of pink flames sent me flying towards her.

She then takes out a massive shield made of pink flames and smashes the underside of it against my chest, causing me to cough up a bit of blood.

"Oh, tryna readjust my chest now? I thought my breasts were small, so why are you jealous?" I smirked before grabbing the shield and crushing it within my palm as if it were a flimsy cookie made of the most fragile dough.

I thought she would be surprised like the others, but it seems she's adjusted to me as she quickly kicks me away and makes space.

And just as I conjured my scythe in my hand once again, she conjured her weapon as well, another bow.

The arrow she pulled back this time was noticeably smaller, and as soon as it was released, I didn't have time to react as it shot straight through my left lung.

"Wow… That was impressive," I muttered before healing my wound once again with a golden flame that flowed from my mouth.

"You should stop talking," I suddenly hear a voice from beside me, and I duck down upon feeling a massive amount of bloodlust appear.

The underside of the shield smashed down to where I was just standing, creating its own mini crater within the already massive crater.

And just as I backed up once again, she drew another arrow… but this time, I wasn't about to let it go her away.

She was dictating the pace of the match until I swung my scythe a few times at her, creating blades of black flames that tore through the air.

She stumbled back a bit before undrawing her bow and molding the flames into a shield that just barely managed to block her in time.

I could see her visibly sigh a sigh of relief as she would've been a goner if one of them sliced her in half.

"You should look around," I say as I appear behind her and punch her square in the jaw.

The pain and adrenaline caused a deep rage to well up within her, and it seems she took me not using my scythe as another form of taunting… as she created a massive shield of flames between us, obscuring my vision.

But, it was so obvious what she was doing, so she dashed to the very edge of the shield and smashed through it, revealing the succubus who drew a massive bow with a massive arrow made from pink flames.

She panicked a bit as she adjusted the bow towards me and shot it with full power.

FWOOSH

I just barely managed to dodge it as it only tore off my left arm, but I had instantly closed the distance.

I punched her square in the jaw again, but just as I began to make more space between us in order for me to heal my arm, she reached out a lasso made of pink flames that wrapped around my right arm and pulled me towards her.

And I was impressed by her quick thinking as she quickly shut my jaw with an uppercut, preventing the golden flames from pouring out of my mouth.

Then, her palm, which was pressed against my heart, created a massive arrow that tore through it.

She smiled maliciously as she thought she had won… but…

BUM BUM… BUM BUM…

There was no need to use the revive feature as she only tore through three-quarters of my heart… allowing me to regenerate the remaining quarter with ease.

"Hmmm… I can conjure the flames wherever I want, by the way," I taunt her as I adjust my jaw while also healing it with [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Healing].

I could see her give me a smirk as she was clearly enjoying every second of this fight.

That's right, show me more.

All of a sudden, a thousand arrows, just like the sickles, appeared inside the crater, which we all designated as the arena.

So, I flew up once again, and she flew up as well.

She then conjured a bow in her right hand and then a shield in the left, creating a menacing presence that emitted strongly from her.

It seems I've entered her domain…

Suddenly, an arrow draws by itself from the bow before getting shot towards me, but it was a bit disappointing as it was slow and not that powerful.

She continued to rain these types of arrows on me, but with a twirl of my scythe, I immediately negated them into nothing.

It seemed to be a stalemate, but in reality, I was waiting for her to do something else… until I noticed she was breathing heavily and she was sweating bullets.

"Ah, so that was it?" I muttered before swinging my scythe at her a few times, causing even more blades of black flames to explode from my scythe.

The blades tore through the air, and so she hid behind her shield, blocking the incoming attacks… but it was stupid as, as soon as she peeked from outside her massive shield, I cocked her square in the face with a punch.

Her consciousness wavered for a few seconds, and those few seconds were enough to cause her to come crashing to the ground.

She tried to get up but stumbled as if she was dizzy.

A minor concussion maybe… oh well.

I healed her with [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Healing] before walking up to her and giving her some advice.

"Make your shield smaller… and actually learn how to use one as it seems you don't know how," I say before gesturing for another succubus to come to me.

This time, the tallest succubus, who was almost as tall as Aika, stepped up before creating twin daggers, something I didn't expect from her stature.

Let's see… Will she focus on speed? Or will she focus on defense and attack just like the others?

SHING

And it seems my predictions were correct as she immediately appeared behind me, and I just barely managed to block her from slicing the back of my neck with the handle of my scythe.

A drop of sweat ran down my cheek as I ducked under another slice and then blocked another one that came crashing down from above.

Each of her attacks was so fast and powerful that they seemed to vibrate the air around me.

She clearly had the best physical capabilities and used her pretty long arms to reach for attacks that would normally be impossible for a shorter person.

We exchanged a few blows, but she wasn't really doing anything, so I was getting a bit bored until I felt a chill get sent down my spine.

A sadistic smile warped onto her face, and as I looked up, I noticed a volley of pink daggers made from scorching flames barreling towards me.

There was nowhere to go, and I was unsure if my scythe could even stop them, so I decided to activate another forbidden magic.

[Forbidden Magic: Medusa]

[Unparreled Slash]

My spear was injected with medusa, and as I swung upwards, the black flames had turned into a pale gray, and upon coming in contact with the daggers, they all began to crumble into stone.

But, it seems the succubus had already expected this as I felt her daggers dig into my back while I was trying to save myself from the daggers above.

"Now this a true assassin," I muttered before conjuring a few gray flames on my back, which then exploded towards her.

She just barely managed to dodge out of the way and just as I thought she'd stumble a bit due to her unbalanced stance, she jumped back just as I slammed her original spot with a punch.

"Oh," I muttered as I saw her take a deep and wide stance.

She almost looked like a praying mantis as the daggers in her hands had turned to sickles which she held tightly against her body.

Long limbs. Sharp weapons. A piercing yet cold gaze… it was beautiful.

She lunged towards me after creating a column of pink flames that erupted before me, blocking my vision.

All of a sudden, she came lunging through the pillar, but her move was a bit obvious as I had already stepped to the side and kicked her in the stomach.

She was sent flying into the air, coughing up a bit of blood.

"Oh, still alive?" I muttered before flying up.
