Arpious of the Planes

The succubus nodded her head violently up and down before Ysal removed the tip of her heel from her mouth and spanked my ass, alerting me that we were now heading out again.

"O-Ow… You could've hit it a bit lighter," I muttered, but Ysal's angered expression was enough for me to know that talking anymore would just be the death of me.

Why is she so angry? Is this about the elves? What's wrong with the elves?

As soon as we made our way out of the palace, Ysal turned into her dragon form, which I hopped onto, and we immediately flew to the outer walls of the capital.

And there it was… an entire army of elves who were chanting but also trying to tear down the wall guarding the civilians.

"*sigh*... And what the fuck are we supposed to do here? Eradicate the elves?" Ysal muttered, but instead, a voice came out of her draconic mouth, her voice teleported straight into my mind through some kind of telepathy.

"I guess so, but let's see what the empress- er, I guess queen now wants to do," I muttered, and Ysal quickly landed next to the sun drake queen standing atop the wall.

She was just glaring down at the enraged elves who were demanding a better life as it seems the demons destroyed all the elven trees here.

It was most likely a last-ditch effort for their race to do something on this plane… how pitiful.

"So, watchu' gonna do?" Ysal asked before shapeshifting into her humanoid form, dangling her legs over the wall and staring down at the elves.

"Kill them… most likely… though they're useful, so I have other plans for them… but the way they keep demanding things makes me really want to kill them. Like, really, really badly… Shit… What annoying pests they are," The queen muttered through gritted teeth.

Her eyes were cold and dangerous, like a kid getting ready to stomp on a mound of ants, destroying their livelihood and colony just on a whim.

She's strong… really fucking strong…

"I can take care of them if you want," I suggested as I was feeling better and wanted to gain some more experience as I was so close to evolving.

"Well… we'll see if their leader comes. I don't see any chiefs nor empress'... interesting… have they fled, or are their points of pride just too much to handle?" The queen chuckled a bit, her face warping into that of a sadistic smile.

Scary… She's scary as hell… no wonder she was the empress of an entire empire without any actual support.

"This queen here has always beat me whenever we went for a little spar. I have never once beaten her in battle," Ysal said, making me even more, intrigued to see her true power.

She's always focused on maintaining the livelihood of her civilians, causing her to hold back most of the time… but now, it seems like I might just be able to see her full power.

"Baby, did I scare you before?" Ysal asked as she walked up behind me and sat me down in her soft lap.

"N-No… You're fine. I was just a bit surprised, that's all,"

"Hmmm… I see…"

…

(Elven Chief POV)

Our plan has already begun to move, and with the empress and Sun dragon already here, we could proceed at any moment in time.

We just need the Empress to give the signal to start as her orders are absolute, and rebelling against her would practically be suicide.

"Sir, the soldiers are ready to move at your command?" My trusty right-hand man said as he walked up right next to me.

All of us elves were behind the tree line, ready to attack and charge at the newly built wall meant to protect them against the now eradicated demonic kingdom.

It's nice knowing they're out of the way, but how do we know the sun drakes won't follow in the same footsteps as them?

Everybody is aware of the sun drakes empress who has now turned queen's personality which can switch at the flip of a button when it comes to matters dealing with other races.

She definitely thinks of other races as sub beings who are more monsters than actually humanoid things… in fact, she might just think of us as things not even worth mentioning.

Does she even know we exist?

And just as I began to ask my final questions within my mind, a bright light swept across the sky like a shooting star.

"There we go… ALRIGHT, MEN! MARCH!" I shouted, and they all followed behind me as I rode my white unicorn, whose horn had split into that of a tree branch.

The footsteps of my soldiers stomped in tandem with the other armies, which soon slowly emerged from the treeline, causing the sun dragon to return to its original form.

She took to the skies with her large, bright yellow and white wings, with each flap creating a vortex so powerful that the space around her bent.

"SHIELDS!" My raspy voice cried out, and soon a large ethereal green barrier appeared in front of all the armies.

VWOOM… BOOOOOOOOM

The dragon who had charged up a massive beam of light shot it directly at us, only to be redirected by the powerful barrier reinforced by the empress' power.

She rode on a large deer that was a heavenly white and had two large antlers splitting off into various monster horns.

The way she rode the sacred beast Tethla was incredible as it was supposedly an untamable thing that no other empress dared to even encounter.

Suddenly, I felt a little twitch in the back of my neck, and so every single elven soldier looked in her direction, eyes filled to the brim with loyalty and impressive motivation.

"Soldiers… I shall protect and guide you all. May the great spirits bless you in the afterlife," Her heavenly voice rang in our heads, like a guiding light ready to lead us into heaven.

We all followed her orders and charged through the barrier, crying out with blazing arrows of sunlight shooting past us.

Each arrow had enough power behind it to rip through even our highest quality gear, but even so, the adrenaline was too great to stop now.

We all ran and ran until our legs could no longer move, but even then, we began to crawl towards the wall with the stupidly ignorant citizens who demanded something from the sun drakes.

They were arrogant and hostile beings ready to take over anything at a moment's notice!

Bowing down to them would only inflate their egos and possibly put our race in an even worse situation than right now.

"CHARRGGGGGEEE!" I shouted before tearing through waves of scattered sun drake soldiers.

They were not ready for this ambush entirely, and if it wasn't for these citizens bringing the two out there, then we would've had a better chance at seizing this capital.

Suddenly, a golden light enveloped us all, filling us with a newfound type of power that all of us could not identify… but we could at least know where it came from.

It came from the empress who overlooked this battle like a queen of war, ready to fight for her soldiers and be there for our deaths.

She wished us all a great afterlife, and there was no better joy than using that to our advantage.

"RAHHHHH!" I shouted as I jumped off my unicorn, who just had its throat slit open, and then charged into the dog pile of corpses.

Blood splattered against my face, but this was only normal for such a war.

I activated all of my skills to help me lead my army deeper and deeper into the wave of sun drake soldiers who were absolutely no match for me now.

Seeing my large presence and almost angelic fighting style, they followed after, crying out with the hopes of their families and comrades lying on their shoulders.

"*sigh*... What a bunch of fucking losers," A cold voice appeared behind me and all of a sudden, a woman with black hair and creepy eyes slammed the ground with her foot.

BOOOOOOOOM

A large explosion of rock and dust kicked up my entire army, some even dying to impact.

I, on the other hand, was injured greatly with both of my legs broken and my chest seemingly collapsed in on itself.

"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.
