Arpious of the Planes
Chapter 83 Full Mastery And King Of Hell

About 10 more minutes passed as we got out of the steaming hot bath. We wrapped ourselves in towels and then walked to the changing room. The maids changed us into our preferred clothes which was a mix of shirts, pants, and dresses but I wore the new clothes that Aimi finished yesterday.

The dirt marks collected from practicing yesterday were already gone, due to the maids washing all of our used clothes immediately after we change out of them.

All 4 of us then had a nice breakfast where we talked about how long it will take for a baby to form. I felt kind of awkward talking about it during breakfast but I just went with the flow since my wives were excited.

Once we finished breakfast, Homura and Kumo went to go hunting since they were so close to evolving, while Aika wanted to practice at her usual training spot. I decided to train as well but it seemed training for full mastery today will take up all of my schedules… not like I have anything better to do than monitor my leader's preparations for war.

…

"HUFF HUFF HUFF, finally," I say while wiping away the sweat that dripped to my chin.

It was currently late in the afternoon and I was holding the last training scythe on the rack. It turned from silver to dark grey with multiple cracks on it. The cracks released a dark grey mist that petrified anything that it touched.

This scythe might look like a scythe that I just petrified but if it was, then...

CRACK

My scythe would've shattered from that blow. My scythe had created a spider web-type crack in the ground from the impact of my swing.

I was able to fully transform it after lunch but it would shatter after about 2 seconds of holding it. Eventually, I was able to keep it together but I needed to keep [Concentration] activated all the time while deactivating [5 Heightened Senses and More].

After picking the scythe back up and swinging it around a couple more times, I got a new notification that put a huge smile on my face.

…

Finally…

I undid the transformation for the training scythe and picked up my newly forged scythe. I began to intertwine [Forbidden Magic: Medusa] into it, causing cracks to appear all over it. If Aiso saw what I was doing, he would probably faint from the sight of one of his most prized weapons turning to stone and cracking.

A grin slipped onto the side of my mouth as I activated my feathered wings and flew out the top of the training room. I then continued to fly until I was close to Qliphoth's seed.

I landed and took in a sharp breath. I held it in and then swung my shark scythe causing a blade of gray mist to come out of it. It was just like with Raiu, if I swung hard enough I could create a projectile blade made from the skill that it uses.

I swung a couple more times until I was satisfied and looked down at where I planted the black and ominous seed. The ground around it was starting to turn black but nothing has sprouted from the seed yet.

"Well, that was to be expected,"

While I was here, I wanted to also test out some of my new wings that I got. I've been only using the [Great Wings of the Cursed and Blessed Lamassu] since I was used to it, but now that I have some more free time I can test out some of the newer wings.

[Bat Wings]

My feathered wings turned back into a tattoo while tiny, black bat wings the span of my back appeared. It was something that you would normally see on a vampire.

When I flapped them, I was lifted off the ground easily and was able to make quick and more nimble turns in the air. It had its pros and cons but the worst of the cons would be that it was much slower than my feathered wings.

Satisfied, I landed on the ground and then activated [Piranhas Spiny Fin Wings].

My bat wings turned back into tattoos as the dark orange and white fins of a lionfish appeared on my back. They were 3/4 the size of my original feathered wings. When I tried to flap them, I wasn't even able to get a millimeter off the ground.

"Seems this only works underwater,"

I deactivate the lionfish-looking wings and reactivate my feathered wings. I was going to fly back but suddenly I heard the rattle of bones and squishing of slime in the distance. When I turned my head, I saw the Slime Bone Servant that I had created.

It gestured for me to follow it and once we ran over a hill I saw a massive 3-meter tall pile of bones and chunks of slime. I smiled at the servant's achievement and then walked directly up to the massive pile.

Without hesitation I said,

"[Assimilation]..."

I pictured the image of what I wanted and soon I heard the cracking of bones. I started with the base shape using bones and then reinforcing them with chunks of slime. I couldn't make its body similar to my current slime bone servant but since there wasn't enough slime to make a body it.

I didn't even realize I was holding my breath until I finished the assimilation and opened my eyes. Right in front of me was an 8-meter tall giant skeleton with 6 arms. The slots in its skull for the eyes were filled with greenish slime that gave off a demonic aura. The most noticeable feature would be the giant 1-meter long demon horns that I gave on the front of its head.

It looked around at the new world it was born in and saw me. It immediately noticed that I was its creator but for some reason had a displeased look on its face despite having no muscles.

"ARE YOU MY CREATOR?" said a loud low, and demonic voice.

I was surprised at how my assimilation could talk until I inspected it.

『Status』

[Status: Servant]

[HP: 3000/3000]

[Strength: 150]

[Defense: 150]

[Magic: 100]

[Speed: 25]

…

"Hohhhh… a king of hell?" I say, raising my eyebrow slightly.

"WHO ARE YOU? MY CREATOR SHOULD NOT BE THIS WEAK," Paimon says in a very low and demonic voice again.

Paimon displeased, swings 3 of its arms at me which I dodge easily.

This time I was displeased. The thing I just created is going against me when I brought it to life…

I activate [Commanding Guardian Phoenixes Presence] and [Tangible Bloodthirsty Aura]. A red arch appeared above my head giving off the sense of death itself while the pressure that leaked from my body sent fear rattling through its bones.

Paimon froze in place as I flew up to his eye level. Again, even though he didn't have any muscles I could see and sense the fear on his face. If he could sweat, he would be sweating cold bullets.

"IT SEEMS I WAS WRONG. HAHAHAHA! YOU ARE STRONG! YOU DID A GREAT JOB AT HIDING YOUR POWER!" Laughs Paimon.

I deactivated my presence skill but left the arched halo above my head. Paimons body unfroze as he entered a more relaxed position and green fire erupted from his horns, hands, eyes, and mouth.

"I'M GLAD I DIDN'T RECEIVE SUCH A WEAK CREATOR! ALL OF THE KINGS WOULD BE JEALOUS OF ME WHEN THEY SEE WHO BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE!" Paimon shouts.

"Now tell me… how did you end up being my creation,"
