Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 291 The Kingdom Of Twilight Vs The Plane Of Twilight (25)

"Are you kidding me?" I muttered.

VWOOM

[Sacrifice is sufficient]

[The cogs of life have turned once again]

The purple light filled my vision, and it was so bright that I could only squeeze my eyes closed and hope for the best.

But no matter how long I closed my eyes… nothing happened.

Just a bit of pain in my back, but that was it.

"Damn… That was close,"

I slowly open my eyes and see my inner demon carrying me in a princess hold.

But she looked a bit different.

Her hair was utterly pitch black, like my previous evolution. No, she looked almost exactly like my previous evolution.

It was just that she had two rigid black horns that stood tall on the top of her forehead.

They were just a bit longer than mine as well.

"Hey," She says with a smirk.

"Are you serious?"

"No, of course, I was fucking kidding," She says, dropping me on my ass.

A vein was about to bust on my forehead in anger, but I took a deep breath in and calmed myself before assessing the situation.

And… it wasn't looking too good.

In fact, it looks as if we are about to die.

All five of the turtles were slowly charging purple beams of light that began to shake the space and time around us.

It looked as if reality was warping itself, causing a chill to be sent down my spine.

I was a bit worried until I looked at my inner demon, who just smirked.

"Well, we can't beat them yet," She says.

"Then why do you look so happy?"

"Cause we can just leave now," She says before pushing me.

Suddenly, I began to fall, and just when I thought I'd hit the invisible floor, I continued to fall past it.

I felt weightless as I nosedived into the abyss.

I began to pick up more and more speed, straining my muscles as I'd never gone this fast before.

I could no longer breathe because it felt like a rock was lying on top of my chest.

And then… I passed out.

…

"*gasp*."

I tried to gasp for air upon snapping awake but realized a sword was still stuck in my chest.

I felt absolutely no pain, but I could already feel my consciousness wavering as the lack of air cut the oxygen to my brain.

'Only a few minutes have passed! Quick! Get up!' A familiar voice echoed through my mind.

"Uh, shit," I mutter after pulling the sword out of my chest.

Glancing up, I saw the man who had almost killed me, walking away very slowly.

He was limping a bit and held an injury near his ribcage.

"Master?" I hear a woman's voice call out to me.

I turn my head and see White, who was applying Ichimei to my various wounds.

Then there was Black, lying on the ground next to me, completely unconscious.

"Uh, my head," I mutter, sitting up and shocking the other humans who were about to tend to the swordsman's wounds.

Suddenly, a wave of water began to crash towards us, but I stopped it with [Forbidden Magic: Midas].

It immediately turned to gold as I heard a ding ring through my ears.

[Evolution has succeeded]

[You have evolved into 10 Faced Devourer of Demons]

[You have gained the following skill]

.

[Ten Masks of Emotions]

.

[You have gained the following body modification]

.

[Bloodline of the Devourer of Worlds]

.

The one skill was a bit disappointing, but I still used it anyway as it was my only hope of turning the tides of this battle.

Crash

Suddenly, the gold-encrusted water broke through the gold and began to crash towards me once again.

[Ten Masks of Emotions]

[A skill used to maximize the effects of each emotion, which then grants you fantastic buffs. Each emotion also comes with its own unique personality that fuses with you, so be careful of using this skill around allies.]

I stood up after seeing that most of my wounds had healed.

"Why did you not finish off, White? Did you think I was already dead?" I ask the group in front of me.

"Hmmm… I'm sure I saw your heart stop beating," The man with a large wizard hat says.

"Well, it's beating again, isn't it?"

And it seems I ticked him off as a solid white blade came flying towards me.

WHOOSH

I just barely managed to duck out of the way with the help of [Abyss Magic] and its precognition ability.

And as I leaned back, my toes in my shoes gripped the ground.

[You have activated Ten Masks of Emotions]

[Please say the emotion you would like to enhance]

'Sadness… Do sadness. It's the best one,' My inner demon says as if she's reminiscing about something.

Okay, Miss Depression, I'll heed your words this time.

"Sadness," I mutter, and a mask appears in my hand.

It was an oni mask made of dark blue material.

I breathed out slowly as I put it on, and even when it attached itself to my face with absolutely nothing, I could see clear as day.

But something began to cloud my mind, and it felt as if I was being pulled back by something.

"*sigh*... Do I have to kill again? What about their families?" I mutter.

VWOOM

I swiped up with my scythe, which had just appeared in my hand.

My swing had manifested into a blue blade that cut straight through the healer's shield, which had just magically appeared in front of them.

It was literally an iron shield, lined with golden patterns, and right behind it were wings, allowing it to float in the air.

"*sigh*... I don't want to kill people who have families," I mutter before glancing at my status.

…

I had basically become a glass cannon, with me having much lower health than my mana and stamina.

But if I could beat these guys, I honestly wouldn't mind.

My torn black dress turned into a mix of black and blue robes which flowed from the mask.

I could feel so much sadness within me that tears wouldn't stop flowing from my eyes.

"Heh, so this is the strongest monster of this plane huh? Interesting," The man with a giant wizard hat says.

"*sigh*... Fine… I'm sorry… [Forbidden Magic: Hermes],"
