Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 319 Meeting Of Rulers (2)

"That's strange… Shouldn't a secret weapon be able to fend for themselves against a single demon?" The drake king asks with a smile.

My eyes grow cold, and my overwhelming black and white bloodlust explodes from my body.

"Those fuckers brought a commander… and of course that pests demonic fire caused permanent scars," I say, my eyes glowing a dark yellow and gray color.

Amanda was a bit surprised as well since I never informed her of my encounter with the demons on the corrupted plane.

"And how can we trust you?" The bunny king asks.

"You'll have to trust me. Also, it wasn't a single demon… It was an army of 100 hundred strong with a commander on top of that. The battle lasted for a week-long, and by the end, I almost committed suicide," I responded with cold eyes.

Everybody in the room went silent, and their eyes were that of fear… besides two.

Amanda and Loni… They gave me eyes of pity.

"Okay, let's get back on track. Now that we know why the demons are here, how are we going to take care of them?" Amanda slices the tense air.

"Isn't it obvious? We destroy that damned ancient frost," The bunny king says but the drake king roars in protest.

"HELL NO! That is a sacred treasure to our race! If we destroy that, that's basically the equivalent of insulting our ancestors!"

"Well, what else can we do? Who knows how many demons are here… If it is something they really want, then they most likely brought an army. Besides the angels, they are the only race capable of turning planes into corrupted planes,"

"Still, I don't give a shit if I make both of you my enemies. I'll be guarding it with my life… or, bring me a frost drake candidate that is capable of handling the power of the ancient frost,"

"I'm pretty sure I have some candidates, but they're not frost drakes,"

"Then don't ask,"

"STOP!" Amanda breaks the fight between the two kings.

"Look, if you have nothing to add, then shut up and sit pretty like you always do. Next time have your husband come," The drake king says, and Amanda began to shake from anger.

"You bastards," Amanda muttered through gritted teeth.

[Forbidden Magic: Hermes]

"*sigh*... Fine," I muttered, appearing above the stone table, all six of my wings extended from my back.

Everybody in the room was speechless as I stomped on the table, dividing it into thirds.

"All of you are incapable of settling anything, so I'll be taking charge here," I announced, and just as the rulers all tried to shout at me, I activated [True Queen Overlords Dominating Presence].

The already cracked castle around us began to shake and crack even more while the stone table I was on had flattened to the ground.

Everybody in the room, including the rulers, took a knee as I created a throne of ice and snow with [Forbidden Magic: Skadi].

"Speak up if you have any objections,"

Nobody spoke up.

"Good… Now, since you won't offer up the old frosty thing, I'll let you keep it… And you should think of that as a blessing as I if I wanted to, I could probably take it from you forcefully, but since I'm so benevolent, I'll let you keep it,"

"Y-you bitch," The drake king mutters, and my eyes shot towards him.

"Seems you don't understand your place," I muttered as I stepped down from my throne and the man somehow managed to squirm his way out of my skills and stand up.

I then walked up to him, looking up at his face, which had crumpled with anger.

"I'll give it to you… You're pretty strong… But all kneel before the Kaiser," I say as I place my hand on his shoulder and force him into a kneeled position.

A gust of wind blew through the run-down castle.

It almost howled in anger as I sat back down on my throne.

"*sigh*... But what I mean by when you keep it… Is that you'll keep watch of it as we use it as bait. This plane has absolutely no chance against an army of demons, so the only chance we have is if we surprise attack them," I say.

"B-but what if the army is too big?" Amanda asks.

I chuckled a bit before answering her question.

"Then this plane is fucked,"

The slight heavy breathing in the room soon stopped as everybody's face paled.

"Well, I have a backup plan,"

"And what is that?" The drake king asks.

"You are going to use that ancient frost. And if you die, I'll have this bunny use it. And if you die, I'll have the king of the moths use it. And if he dies, then I'll use it," I respond with a broad smile that was large enough to send a shiver down his spine.

"I-I said anybody other than drakes can use it," The drake king says, interrupting the peaceful silence once again.

"That's such a lie. The fattest lie I've ever heard in my life,"

"S-Shut the hell up. What would you know? The words of our ancestors are… never… wrong,"

The drake king eventually began to see the fault in his words as not only were his ancestors selfish, but they were assholes… so of course, they'd spread fake information down the linage in order to keep their race at the top.

"B-but, I still won't give it to you. You don't even know where it is,"

"Okay? I'll find it,"

"T-that's impossible. It doesn't even have an entrance,"

"Oh, that's fine… Because I'm sure your subjects would be willing to talk,"

"YOU ARE SO STUPID! YOU'LL BE MAKING AN ENEMY OF MY KINGDOM! DO YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR BELOVED MASTERS KINGDOM FALL!" The drake king laughed sadistically with a smile as if he had done something.

"Oh… You thought she was my master?" I say in disbelief.

"W-what?"

"Come on, dude, pick a side. Stupid or intelligent… I honestly can't read you. She's my big sister, not my master. Just cause she said I was a weapon doesn't make me her's. I even just interrupted her… What kind of servant would do that to her master?"

The drake king, once again, shook in anger as I had just embarrassed him badly in front of all the important figures in his kingdom.

"Now, how big is this ancient frost? Small? Large?"

The man grits his teeth before answering reluctantly.

"S-small,"

"Is it something close to a ball shape? Because that will make it much easier to hide,"

"Y-yes, it is in a ball shape. It can also fit in the palm of my hand,"

"I see… So, how about we lay a trap here? This place is the perfect area for a trap as we could just block them in here, and I'll take care of them in one fell swoop… Of course, that's if there aren't too many of those bastards. Also, I'm betting they brought a commander, so that will be something we'll have to take care of later,"

I continued to rant to myself before space itself seemed to shift.

VWOOM

The space around us had been cut in half, and I noticed most of the weaker monsters around me had fainted.

The only ones still barely hanging onto their consciousnesses were the rulers and some guards… but Loni had fainted.

"Pardon the intrusion," A deep voice says as it lands in front of me, looking up at me from my throne.

A man clad in spiky black armor with a dragon-shaped helmet appeared in front of me.

"YOU BASTARD!" I shout as I stand up from my throne and summon my scythe, which ripped through the air, creating a blast of black flames that the man just barely managed to block with a massive black greatsword.

I could see a drop of sweat slide down the side of his head, on his purplish-black skin.

"Geez, you're as powerful as ever," The man says as he swings his greatsword back, creating a blade of demonic energy that I dodged effortlessly.

"You, I thought I killed you," I say, my bloodlust exploding from my body.

"Oh, did you really think we came for you?"

The man smiled psychotically as he stepped towards me.

"HAHAHAHAHA! DID YOU REALLY THINK WE CAME TO THAT CORRUPTED PLANE, JUST FOR YOU!? NO! OF COURSE NOT! DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU'RE ALL THAT! YOU WERE JUST A PIT STOP FOR US AND A BUG WE TRIED TO CRUSH AS WE NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING HERE!" The demonic man shouted, his purple bloodlust exploding from his body.

? Everybody around us fainted, and now it was just us two.

[Ten Masks of Emotions]

[Please select your emotion]

"Sadness," I muttered and a blue oni mask appeared on my face.

"Wait, wait, wait! I didn't come here to fight," The man suddenly changed his attitude, but I didn't care as I sliced my scythe towards him and he blocked it with his greatsword.

"Shut up,"
