Arpious of the Planes

A/N - In the last chapter, there were just a few pieces of information at the end, which will be recapped here. And for context, Arpious basically showed her status to Lily (Elfy).

*****

"Is this… her status?"

"Indeed," Mistress muttered, and I was left shocked as if she was left free. She could probably destroy this entire plane.

It was a good thing Mistress picked her up first; otherwise, other kingdoms would topple and fall… which isn't that bad, but there are some big suppliers for this kingdom, so I guess some parts will be troublesome.

…

(Arpious POV)

(Present Time)

"That's a beautiful sight," I muttered before trudging deeper into the forest, but for some reason, there was nothing else here.

Either I cleared out every single monster, or I scared off every single one of them.

But, I was more inclined to think that a top predator was here and that it definitely wasn't me since I hadn't been here yet.

Grrrrrr

All of a sudden, the growling of something ferocious appeared behind me, and it felt as if the same worm from before was behind me.

The bloodlust felt almost identical, like claws scraping the back of my neck, trying to make me bleed to death as I stand before it.

But the worms didn't growl.

As I slowly turned around, I saw a long black tail and pale gray eyes which seemed to stare straight into my soul.

A slick long body with pitch-black scales that immediately turned white upon having a few rays of light shine upon it.

[Demonic Snagger]

[A rare species of monster that has the body of a snake and the head of a lion. It uses its long and slick body to squeeze through tiny spaces, and its large lion head has enough bite force to tear through anything in its path. It is very resistant to magical attacks and has some resistance to physical attacks.]

This time, the description of the monster gave me a pretty informative one, so I wasn't about to let this one go to waste.

For a split second, the snake with a large lion head with a flaming red mane disappeared, and I almost lost it.

If it wasn't for my godly senses, I definitely would've been bitten half… as this thing appeared behind me and already had its jaws around me.

I just barely managed to slip into the shadows below me and reposition myself away from the thing, but it just disappeared again.

I wasn't watching carefully, so I had no idea how it disappeared, but I was sure it was something related to magic.

If it was speed, I would've been able to kind of track it, but it must be something like teleportation because it literally just disappears from my vision.

CHOMP

I just barely managed to dodge another set of jaws from closing sideways onto my body and most likely killing me.

But, it continued this pattern a few more times, so I read its move and shot a pillar of black flames from beneath its body.

FWOOSH

It was sent flying into the air, and the thing wriggled around like a slimy worm as it was not defenseless in the air.

"So it was the shadows," I muttered before activating [Heavenly War Flag of the True Hero].

I stuck it straight into the moist ground, lighting up the entire place and revealing the exact location of the snake which had just landed.

It didn't take much or any damage at that from my flames, but that was just to confirm something as I now had a sure way of beating it.

SHING

I summoned my scythe once again and swung down, completely tearing the end of its tail off, and the lion head roared in pain.

But, the roar created a blast of black wind that had a few sickles mixed into it, so I was forced to tank it as I had no more shadows to slip into.

The now white monster was slithering towards me, clearly enraged, which was apparently due to its blood-red eyes.

ROOOOOOAAAAAR

Another blast of black wind with sickles mixed into the attack was sent flying towards me, but I expected it this time and blew it back with [Unparreled Slash].

The slash even managed to slice up one of the monster's eyeballs, creating a blind spot for me to slip into.

Once I was under the giant thing's chin, I swung up and collided with the thick scales that completely negated my attack.

"It seems different parts of your body have thicker defense than others… So, I'll just look for an achilles tendon," I muttered.

Suddenly, as the thing began to slither towards me at an incredibly fast pace, it bamboozled me and shattered the giant flag sitting in the middle of our fight.

It was an unexpected move as it looked like it was completely focused on fighting me and forgetting about the main reason for its loss in power.

"Smarter than I thought," I muttered before dashing in when it destroyed the flag; a massive blast of light overwhelmed it, stunning it for a couple of seconds.

I used this chance to appear right behind its chopped-off end and then dig my scythe inside before activating [Forbidden Magic: Medusa].

The monster began to petrify from the inside out, and as it screamed its last breath, it flopped onto the ground, motionless and still like a rock.

"Well, it kinda is," I chuckled before trodding deeper into the forest.

…

[Demonic Crawler]

[A crawler that has been influenced by demonic energy, causing it to evolve into a monstrous thing that tears apart cities. Its scythe-like legs are large and powerful enough to cut the surrounding trees in half. Its sixteen eyes allow us to see every single movement in the real world and soul world. There is no escaping this thing, and your best bet is to just kill it.]

A twenty-meter-tall crawler appeared before me, its body pitch black, its eyes pitch black, and the tips of scythe-like feet had a tinge of white.

A normal person wouldn't have been able to see this thing despite its massive body, but I have enhanced eyesight and night vision, so it's within reason.

But, the description was a bit misleading as the crawler didn't want to seem to fight and instead just chill.

Even when I went to slice its leg off with my scythe, it didn't react… well; maybe that's because I wasn't even able to cut through.

I was able to draw a bit of blood, but steam soon came through the wound, and it healed in an instant while the crawler continued to chill.

So, I didn't disturb the guy any longer as I just gave him or her a fist bump which I doubt they felt, and then left as I could see the edge of the long forest.

It had been about a week since I re-entered the forest and now I was finally leaving.

"Alright, my status is looking better," I muttered.

"Plus I gained a few skills finally, but they aren't going to do much for me. I'll just wait until I obtain some more skills to actually fuse them with others," I muttered as this kingdom had a new species I was excited to eat.
