Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 377 Succubus Queen (7)

Suddenly, the worm closed its mouth and then opened it right away, causing a blast of green ooze to come from its throat and shoot right toward me.

The stench of the slime was horrible, and it made me gag, slipping up my moves as I dodged to the side.

As soon as the slime touched the dirt, the dirt began to sizzle and then completely dissolved into nothing.

"Geez… That's scary," I chuckled.

To be honest, I was definitely frightened when I first encountered this thing, but now, after realizing all the negative traits, this thing has, I am feeling a bit more confident in my abilities.

First of all, it has absolutely zero mobility, though I do believe it can go back underground and maybe pop up right below me.

I mean, there must be a way it appeared in front of me, so basically if I remove the thing from the ground it will be an easy win.

Then there is its slow attack speed but high damage which looks to be more of an AOE attack rather than a normal, full-on power attack against a singular target.

I just have to continuously dodge the attacks…

"Just kidding," I muttered before dashing straight towards the worm without a care in the world, my scythe raised above my head.

A blast of bright red flames coated the three blades on my scythe and the knives on the end clanged together, creating sparks like a blacksmith forging a weapon.

Potoo

The worm spits a mouthful of slime directly into my face, but I just charged right through it with a large smile and then swung downwards.

SHING

I had cut the worm entirely in half and its guts spewed into the shadows of the dark and creepy forest surrounding me.

I was completely fine and surprisingly, my armor was also fine as well.

[500 XP]

As I had immunities to pretty much everything, that also included poison which somehow created an umbrella with acid and venom under it, though that shouldn't be possible.

But, I didn't mind as I could use this to the fullest of its advantage.

Also, I was expecting the armor to melt but I guess my Mistress wasn't lenient in the slightest as there wasn't even a slight mark on the entire thing.

"Very nice," I muttered before trotting deeper into the forest where I encountered some more of these things.

As I wanted to have a bit more fun, I decided against charging straight in and killing it but yanking it straight out of the ground and then killing it.

"But, that's not the fun part," I muttered once again with a large smile and I could already feel the assassins' faces paling around me.

Their nerves were so apparent that they practically hung in the air like fruit hanging from a tree, ready for me to pluck at any moment.

I was thinking of getting rid of them, but that would only worsen my relationship with the succubi, so I decided against it and let them be.

I wouldn't mind if they died of fear or something, though… though that's likely, not going to happen as they are all professionally trained assassins.

[Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Flame]

As I stretched my hand into the massive hole where the worm had been yanked out of, the screeching of fearful worms felt the impending doom quickly approach them.

Their screams were like music to my ears as I blasted the hole with a large quantity of flames that burnt everything inside to a crisp.

"Alright, let's see what's down here," I muttered and hopped straight into the hole where I was met with dirt.

Just plain old dirt but massive passageways that were so big that somebody with megalophobia would probably just drop dead.

It was so tall that it took me about fifteen minutes to reach the very top of the seemingly expansive cavern I was in.

All of a sudden, a rumble came from below me and the ground under me split into a crack that threatened to drop me into a larger hole.

But, I just flapped my wings and flew to the side as I dodged the spewing worms that came out of the crack.

They were moving freely and already spitting tons of goo that once again, smelt so horrible that I was forced to cover my nose.

Enhanced senses are nice until you run into a situation like this.

"Yuck… Can't you guys brush your teeth or something," I muttered before activating [Forbidden Magic: Skadi].

The entire expansive cavern froze over into an icy wasteland where the frozen corpses sat still as statues in front of me.

There was no other rumble this time so I just smiled sadistically before lifting up my foot and staring directly below me.

"I sense you little worm~,"

[Instant Foot Smash]

The ground below me crumbled under the weight and power of my stomp, causing a blast of rocks to travel upwards and the cavern to cave in.

But, I just froze over the entire place with Skadi again, preventing the expansive cavern from losing its beautiful largeness which slightly attracted me.

Everything about the cavern was beautiful besides the disgusting worms which kept trying to retake the massive place.

"Alrighty, let's see who is down here," I muttered before swiping with my scythe, clearing the cloud of dust that appeared in the crater below me.

What has revealed to me was a nest of these fucking worms and right in the center was the largest one with a small brown crown that looked to be formed from their literal skin.

"So disgusting," I muttered before snapping my fingers again, sending a blast of the deepest and coldest parts of the underworld straight into the massive crater.

All the small fry had died but the boss stood strong as it shrunk its body like a slinky and then bounced straight towards me.

I quickly stabbed my scythe into it and then spun around before throwing it across the expansive cavern where it just flopped to the floor.

It was quite funny so I couldn't help but chuckle a bit before watching the boss enter an enraged state where its entire body turned red.

Its small black beads which I assumed were eyes had now turned dark red and its crown also had the same matching color.

"You know that is my favorite color, right?" I asked and had decided to keep the head as a trophy.

Mistress won't mind if I bring it back to frame, right? I'm sure I could probably just do a quick pitstop by.

I mean, it's only about a half day's worth of travel away from here.

"Also, I want some beer," I muttered while practically drooling over the bubbly sensation and slightly bitter taste that is oh so refreshing.

Maybe she will even praise me?

'Arpious. Mission! You're on a mission! And I'm not talking about the one the succubus gave you but the one which your family relies on to survive,' My inner demon cried out, wafting away some of the cloudings in my mind.

"My bad," I muttered before dashing forward and cleanly slicing off the boss's head… or so I thought.

Before, I just needed to build up lots of momentum which is how I was able to kill that first worm, but it seems the boss's skin is extra hard.

"How lewd," I chuckled before waving my hand downwards, completely freezing over the boss who was hit directly by Skadi.

The boss only got the residual freeze of Skadi before, but now it was direct so there is no way I will lose now.

And just like that… the boss had died… or so I thought.

"Oh come on,"

The ice coating the boss shattered into a million pieces and the worm lunged towards me at an incredible speed which I just barely managed to dodge.

But like a bouncy ball, it hit the wall adjacent to me with its face, slinkied, and then burst right back towards me.

It was yet another funny sight, but I had no time to laugh as the end of this worm had created yet another hole.

'The devil's anus, am I right?'

"Shut the hell up," I muttered before flying upwards, but the worm just used another wall to direct itself towards me.

I dodged in the air but it then used the ceiling to bounce right towards me again.

Not only was the worm cornering me in mid-air, but it was also gaining more and more speed with each time it hit a surface.

Eventually, I was unable to read far enough into the future and I was slammed by the worm in the stomach, sending me flying across the room… but this time it was really over.

Even though it was my inner demon's idea, no normal person inside my body would've been able to pull this off.

"Geez,"
