Arpious of the Planes
Chapter 286 The Kingdom Of Twilight Vs The Plane Of Twilight (20)

"Oh, you're a flirt," Aika chuckles to herself.

"I would love to take any one of you on a date later… of course if your side wins,"

"You won't survive long enough to go on a date with one of us," I reply, creating a sizeable pink barrier around us.

"Shall we bring his body back for Arpious to eat?" Homura asks.

We all chuckled to ourselves as the man dressed in long black and brown robes furrowed his eyebrows.

Suddenly, lava poured from the palms of his hands, but Homura pushed it back with her blue flames that seemed much hotter.

"Damn… You all are really too strong," He scratches the back of his head before a blast of molten aura threatens to kill us.

I retracted my barrier as we needed to get away.

Deflecting this aura would be impossible, so dodging it was our best bet.

We were able to dodge it by jumping up, but soon realized molten lava began to pour from the palace's ceiling like sparkling diamonds.

They were shiny but as soon as they came in contact with our skin, an overwhelming amount of pain jolted through our body.

It felt exactly like how it looked… We were melting.

tch

I poured all my concentration into reactivating my pink barrier, but instead of surrounding us, I plastered it along with the ceiling.

This gave the other girls a chance to land an attack on the man who created two long swords entirely made from lava.

Their structure was rough around the edges, but as soon as we saw him swing his sword once, cutting the floor below, we became warier.

Ting

Aika came in contact first, and her deathly aura poured into the man, creating an opening that allowed her to slice directly at his throat… but he was sent flying?

As soon as his body slid down the wall, we noticed he had coated his entire body in molten lava infused with some kind of magic.

"That hurts," He mutters, rubbing the molten lava along his neck that began to crumble into sand.

But we didn't let up as I shot out one large chain from the palm of my hand that wrapped around the man tightly.

The cracking of his bones could be heard, and just before Homura could land a palm-full of fire in his face, he melted into lava, escaping us once again.

The puddle of lava that he shifted into, quickly split into three parts, confusing us except for Homura, whose nose twitched.

Each part shifted into the exact same person from before.

But with the slightest signal, Aika managed to land a one-shot kill blow.

"What… the hell," He mutters, the two other bodies beside him melting back into lava that seeped into the ground like water entering a sponge.

"Step back," Aika says as she removes her sword from the guy's chest.

FWOOSH

A gust of wind exploded from his body, and a few drops of molten lava spat across our face.

It melted our skin, but our regeneration quickly took care of it… It still hurt like shit, though.

"Damn, was that his last-ditch effort?" I mutter, reweaving my dress which had melted in a few places.

I also helped the other girls with their clothes.

BOOM

"What was that shake?" Treyni asks.

A drop of sweat ran down the back of my neck.

BOOM

The temperature in the hall suddenly rose, and the surrounding monsters who checked up on us fainted almost instantly.

The weaker slave that Aika acquired also seemed faint as she was using the stronger slave to help herself up.

A small drop of sweat ran down my cheek.

BOOM

A large boney hand with cinders of green flames grabs the corner of the hallway, pulling a giant skeleton out from behind.

"PAIMOOOOON!" Aika shouts.

The skeleton smiled broadly, its green flames exploding in excitement.

CRASH

But just as we were about to attack, a woman dressed in black, with two demonic horns and demonic wings, burst through a window.

…

(Arpious POV)

My bloodlust poured out like a tsunami, pinning the giant skeleton down before I could even touch him.

My eyes were bloodshot, and both of my weapons appeared in my hands.

SHING

I swung down with both of them.

But to my surprise, both of my weapons were deflected by green flames, as if they were made from a type of metal.

"HAHAHAHAHA! YOU REALLY ARE AN IDIOT!" Paimon shouts despite his unfavorable position.

[Forbidden Magic: ******]

I activated the mysterious skill, coating my red bloodlust in a purple tinge.

The feathers on my wings also shifted into a dark purple, with my eyes following after.

But, the bloodlust didn't change much besides its color… except for it quadrupling in size.

The bones of Paimon began to creak, and his green flames slightly shrunk back from the pain, displaying his gradually building panic.

"It's too late to panic," I mutter before swinging down once again.

The green flames reflected my blades, but they were also pushed back, unlike previously where they seemed to be immovable.

I smiled slightly before swinging down once again.

I don't need to use any more skills to take care of this guy.

Plus, [Apocalyptic Weapon Swing] would just do more damage to my surroundings rather than the man in front of me.

More… More… More! More! More! More! More! More! More! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!

I swung more and more until the green flames that were produced from his boney hands dwindled.

I smirked before continuing my barrage of attacks, showing no signs of letting up.

ROOAAAAAAAAAAAR

Paimon roared like a cornered lion trying one last time to intimidate its foe… but it didn't work.

I quickly shattered his boney hands before eating the small chunks.

Paimon tried to scurry away like a worm, inching backwards.

BAM

I shattered his rib cage and ate every piece.

Paimon roared in pain once again while everybody around me watched in horror.

MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE! MORE!

I swung more and more.

Paimon looked like a rabid animal desperately trying to crawl away as I shattered his boney legs into pieces before devouring them.

Eventually my purple aura turned into a pair of jaws that began to devour the pieces of bone with me.

And then finally, I reached his head.
