Arpious of the Planes

She just barely managed to dodge it, but now I buffed myself completely and swung hard down towards her nape.

My scythe immediately collided with her barrier but the swing that was reinforced by tons of buffs and a swing skill managed to shatter it.

TING

But, she slipped her green sword in between her nape and the scythe before swinging the scythe away, completely deflecting my powerful attack.

Just how strong is this bitch?!

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

In a flurry of attacks, she struck me at least twenty times, and if it wasn't for my new black battle dress, I would've easily been cut to pieces.

"Ack… *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough* *cough*,"

As soon we split ways, and I did a long jump back, the elf queen eyed Ysal at the top of the wall, continuously shooting beams of light at her.

"How amusing… the struggle of ants is quite interesting, is it not?" She asked me before swinging her green blade down towards the top of my head.

TING

I quickly deflected it and closed the gaps, swinging the end of my scythe like a spear, causing some of the daggers at the end to clip the queen's nose.

I smirked a bit as blood drew from the bridge of her nose, and I could barely contain my excitement as I actually landed a hit on her.

"What a joyous occasion," I smirked but then felt a chill get shot down my spine as the queen slowly looked up at me.

Her bright green eyes faded into a dark green color, deeper than a swamp's leafy foliage… it was absolutely frightening and almost disturbing.

"Tch… Goddammit," She muttered before appearing in front of me, almost like she teleported and reaching out her hand to grab my neck.

Her fingers dug into my windpipe as she lifted me up with just a single hand.

VWOOM

But a beam of light soon came crashing towards her… and for some reason, it hit her directly square in the face.

Her automatic barrier was nowhere to be soon, and she was sent flying across the battlefield with a massive crater in her torso.

It immediately began to regenerate, but I used this moment of instability to use Hermes and then infuse [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Flame] into my spear.

VWOOM

A sound like the space itself around my scythe was collapsing rung through the battlefield, and the red flames formed some kind of draconic depiction as they sliced down into the queen's armor, piercing her and searing her flesh.

The flames continued to consume her body, but she was already making her next move, forcing me to flash backward using Hermes.

"Fucking bitch," A voice suddenly appeared behind me, and when I looked up, I noticed the queen had disappeared.

Instinctively, I ducked down and then went for a back kick, but I should've learned my lesson with using martial arts on thesis woman.

She caught my foot, threw it to the side, and then stabbed her green blade straight through my stomach, just barely missing any of my vital points.

"Oh, you were able to make it non-fatal… how amusing, the struggles of the weak," She muttered before reaching her hand towards my throat once again.

VWOOM

A beam of light was shot towards her, but this time, her sword came up and deflected it, sending it straight into her own army.

This crazy queen!

But, just before she could stab me again, a draconic claw came straight from the side and swatted her like a fly away from me.

'You good?' Ysal asks, her voice immediately entering into my mind rather than coming out of her mouth.

"Y-Yeah… Ugh… That hurts," I muttered before a glowing golden flame poured onto the stab wound, closing it up almost instantly.

'I can finish her off. I just needed to help out the front lines a bit as the elves are stronger than we thought, but now… I can go all out,"

All of a sudden, Ysal shifted into her humanoid form, and a large golden set of armor with white flames erupting from it appeared on her.

In her right hand was a halberd made of a magical golden material, also flaming with white fire, and in her left hand was a large golden shield shaped like a turtle shell.

"Kekeke… FINALLY!" Ysal shouted before a gust of golden wind sent me flying back, only allowing me to catch a split-second glimpse of Ysal spreading white flames across the ground.

I was forced to fight off a wave of elves by myself, but in between kills, I snuck a glance at the monstrous fight happening at the very center of the battlefield.

Nobody even dared to get close, as coming within range would just be an instant death for you.

…

(Ysal POV)

"Goddammit!" The queen shouted before an angellic white armor erupted from her fairly normal-looking armor set.

She then held a glowing white sword in her hand and flew towards me with a pair of angelic white bird wings attached to her back.

TING

But she was weak… but not so weak that I had to hold back in order to enjoy this amazing occasion.

"Don't disappoint me, baby," I muttered before swinging my halberd, shattering the sword almost instantly with a pair of white flames sticking to the queen's armor.

An amazing amount of spirits came from the forest with their little butterfly-like wings creating a humming sound that phased through the air like a wave of water.

These spirits all shot little green, spiritual arrows at me, creating another wave of water, but this time was actually a tangible attack.

"Interesting," I smirked before swinging my halberd once, eradicating every single arrow and spirit in sight, their little burning cries evaporating with my power.

The queen looked a bit nervous underneath that stoic expression of hers, and as a spiritual green wave of aura passed by me, the woman took a step back.

"Sorry, babes, but that skill only works on people weaker than you… And guess who is stronger~,"

VWOOM

My halberd tore through the air, shattering the queen's armor and eradicating any attack she tried to build up.

And as I stood above her, my face crumpled with disappointment.

"Well, it seems I misjudged you," I clicked my tongue with disappointment before the queen looked up at me with… rebellious eyes.

She looked like she was still going to attempt to struggle against me but was trying to find a way.

"Hoh… That makes me want to take you right here and now… such a cute face," I muttered as my armor dispersed into white flames.

As I crouched down, I grabbed the elf's cheeks and inspected her, pulling her head side to side, and I had to say, she was very cute.

That expression which just doesn't want to give up, also pisses me off… but I feel like killing her would be a waste.

"I'll give you two options. One, you die here, and your army gets eradicated. Same with your little civilians over there. Two, you become my wife, and your race gets spared," I said with a sadistic smile, and the queen tried to struggle even harder against me now.

But, with my immense strength on her stomach, she was unable to get up and just loosely flailed her sword around.

She was clearly running out of mana and stamina, especially from using that status suppression skill so many times.

"Come on… you got one more minute before I give the order to kill the citizens," I muttered with a large smile, and I could see the queen was slowly breaking down.

Despite how merciless she was against her soldiers, she still cares about her race and knows that with time she could build up her forces again.

Under the protection of the sun drakes, not only would her race thrive, but they would also have the benefits of our special buffs.

Nobody would be unhappy, and everybody would be pretty joyous unless something terrible like a friend or family member died.

"Thirty more seconds…." I teased the elf below me, and seeing her thinking so hard while also eyeing me was adorable.

Having such a feisty girl wouldn't be so bad as it can get boring with the succubus and Arpious always being so submissive in bed.

Of course, outside of bed, they aren't boring, especially Arpious, but it would be nice to spice it up in the bedroom.

"F-Fine… B-But give me some control over your kingdom if I'm your wife. I mean, you're the guardian monster, so you can get me that, right?"

"Well, you'll have to ask the Empress for that," I smirked before the elf immediately raised the white flag of surrender, causing all the elves to fall to their knees hopelessly.

Some were understanding, and some were not, but most didn't expect the amazing life we were about to give them.
