Arpious of the Planes

"Huff… huff… huff… Damn, monster," I muttered before summoning a bright sword of white light and swinging at the woman's ankle.

Ting

My blade collided with her ankle, but for some reason, it barely even drew blood… just a small cut was formed, and that was enough to anger this humanoid thing even more.

"I guess you all have some decently strong guys," A cold voice muttered.

And as I looked up at the woman from my collapsed state, a foot came slamming down on me, making everything go completely pitch black.

…

(Arpious POV)

"So boring…" I muttered as my tongue hung out of my mouth, trying to get a taste of the sweet bloodlust in the air.

Maybe I'm turning into a vampire… well, not that it matters. That would be pretty cool, to be honest.

As more small fry came to greet me, a burst of adrenaline traveled through my veins, seemingly waking up something inside me.

"Ah… She's dangerous," I muttered as I glanced upwards, meeting eyes with the elven queen sitting atop that strange white deer.

She looked at me with such frightening eyes that it felt like I was staring back at the elven empress I had met before.

But… this woman was nearly nowhere as strong. Possibly just as strong as me…

"Maybe I'll have to go all out again," I muttered before swinging my scythe in a circular motion, tearing apart each and every single soldier who tried to confront me with their pitiful strength, speed, defense, everything.

Everything about them was so pitiful and disgusting.

Soon, the queen came straight to me, charging on her white deer but then descending off it to greet me with a sword of green light.

The sword was fast and swift, possibly even faster than the swordsmen assassins I had encountered before… but she didn't have the numbers.

As I dodged the slash, I came in with a front kick to her chin that she somehow blocked by letting go of her sword and catching my foot.

"What… the fuck," I muttered as she punched me in the chest, sending me flying away.

I activated my wings so I could catch up to her, but she greeted me in the air with her own pair of massive, fairy-like wings.

Her sword quickly approached me at full force as I tried to swing my scythe down onto the top of her head.

SHING

But, her sword was faster and slashed my arm off, leaving me to grab my scythe with my other hand, a move she wasn't expecting in the slightest.

SHING

I swung down with my own scythe, tearing through her chest and leaving a massive claw-like wound on her battle armor made from a sparkling metal.

"Hmmm… You're stronger than I expected… Siren," The queen finally muttered something as she brushed her tender hands across her chest plate.

"Finally talking… You would pull if you talked more with that beautiful voice of yours," I smirked before slashing again at her but this time infusing [Unparreled Slash] and [Apocalyptic Weapon Swing].

You could see my scythe visibility tear through the air as it quickly approached the queen's helmet, but her sword suddenly came up and deflected my attack, redirecting all of its power to the army right behind her.

"What a terrible commander you are,"

"Like I care about those weaklings," she replied before grabbing the handle of my scythe and swinging her sword right at my throat.

SHING

Her sword erupted with green flames and white flames, tearing through the air above me as I snapped my head downwards and let go of my wings.

I plummeted to the ground, and as the queen followed me, I reactivated them and went for an uppercut straight to her chin.

Tup

But she easily caught it, only her hand stinging a bit as she looked down at me with cold yet enraged eyes.

Dammit, I'm already using all of my buff skills, and I can just barely keep up with her… but her status doesn't seem that good.

Even if her stats are just a few points higher than mine, there shouldn't be this much of a difference, especially with my amazing buffs.

…

"Well… maybe not… Did I misfire on another elf?" I muttered to myself before catching a fist coming straight at my face and then ducking a green blade that cut a few strands of my hair off of me.

"Goddammit, do you know how hard it was to grow this hair out?" I muttered jokingly before finally taking it seriously.

[Divinity Domain] [Forbidden Magic: Skadi]

My hair erupted with white strands, and an immediate layer of frost covered my body, leaving me in a new icy form with cold dark blue eyes.

But suddenly, the queen muttered something, and my domain disappeared, leaving me in my regular form.

"W-What?" I muttered before glancing down at my status.

…

"M-My status is still here, so what happened?" I muttered to myself, but I guess the queen was benevolent enough to actually reply.

"My skill resets your body to the state it was in previously, meaning all the buffs you've applied have been taken away. Even with all the gear and jewelry, my stats will be higher… meaning you'll never win a close confrontational fight,"

"And why are you telling me this?" I smirked with a large drop of sweat rolling down my face.

"Because I want you to make this fight more interesting,"

At this point, a vein on my forehead almost burst open with blood.
