Arpious of the Planes

"Huh… Seems reasonable… but why should I trust your word?"

"Go ahead… Get your assassin to investigate," I said with a cheeky smile.

"Fine… But if you're wrong, I'm going to kill you,"

"Sure, sure," I respond before exiting the tent.

'That should be fine… But I'm sure he's going to change the plan after you saw it and after hearing your opinion, so just be aware of the future,' My inner demon warns me, and I just nod my head slightly.

Soon, I made my way back to my tent, where all twelve succubi girls were waiting for me on the bed.

"Any of you want to have a spar?" I ask, and I could see a flame light within their eyes.

"Oh, you wanna go?" One of them asks, and I just gesture for them to follow me to the training area with which I immediately made space by using [True Queen Overlords Dominating Presence].

All demonic soldiers immediately scattered as one of the succubi stepped up without any hesitation in her eyes.

She's quite prideful… I'll enjoy my time breaking it.

"Okay, I'll use about 25%... Will you be able to handle it?" I asked her, but her only response was a blast of pink flames that erupted from her body.

The flames began to melt the training area, and I could feel the air around me starting to warm up.

"Quite impressive," I say as I give her a slight applaud, and as soon as she charged towards me, I clapped once again, creating two large nimbus clouds above me.

But, she didn't even give them a glance as her feet stomped on the ground, building up more and more momentum… until I shot her down with a bolt of lightning.

The lighting crashed against her, but she was surprisingly still standing, so I clapped once again.

Another clap of thunder rushed through the air, striking the succubus down again and again, but surprisingly she was still pushing forward.

"You're quite persistent… I'll give you that," I mutter before drawing Raiu out the center of my palm while slowly walking towards her.

[Instant Foot Smash]

I didn't even lift my left foot as the ground below it turned into a massive crater that devoured the entire training area.

The succubus fell down into the crater, and just as she created a bow of pink flames, I slashed upwards, cutting off her arm.

"ARGHHHHHHHH!" She screamed an ugly cry, something unbefitting of her appearance.

"Don't worry, don't worry… The fight isn't done yet," I said before healing her with [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Healing].

The pain rushing throughout her body had disappeared, and what replaced it was her new arm which I slightly readjusted… just slightly.

"ARGHHHHHHH!" She cried out in pain once again.

And as I felt like she needed a crack in her shoulder since it seemed a bit stiff when we were fighting, I readjusted it as well.

"ARGHHHHH!" She screamed once again, tears flowing from her eyes.

The other succubi then ripped her away from me before glaring at me with intense eyes.

"I'm a professional chiropractor. I just thought she needed some readjustments," I chuckled before healing her with [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Healing] once again.

I could see she was terrified, but as the other succubi held onto their pride, they all individually challenged me once again.

First, I faced one of the succubi who used a flame sword that was able to cut Raiu in half, but that wasn't surprising as Raiu was extremely weak.

It seems she gained a bit too much confidence after seeing me step back a bit as she charged in with so many openings revealed to me.

Let's see… Where should I hit her… Oh, that seems cool.

As soon as she slashed towards me, I stepped to the side before winding up a haymaker that I brought down onto the lower vertebrae of her spine.

The snapping of her bones was nauseating to the surrounding demons, but as I was a merciful saint, I healed her before readjusting her spine once again.

"It seems the lower vertebrae are a bit out of place so let me just readjust it," I muttered with a sadistic smile… but she still hadn't extinguished that raging pride of hers.

"AHHHH!" She shouted as she conjured a hundred swords made from pink flames above me, which were so fast that even I couldn't dodge them… well, I was at 25%, so of course, they hit me.

She immediately reversed the position and began to bash my chest with a flurry of punches.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

The surrounding demons cheered for her as she took a sadistic smile… but all while this was happening, I cocked my head all the way back to look at the dragon in black armor.

He gave me a thumbs-up of confirmation, so the smile on my face slowly crept back as I summoned a small icy needle and thread that sowed through the woman's arms.

Her arms were then tied right behind her back, and just as she was about to kick me, I stabbed the needle through her legs, turning her into a living pretzel.

"Adjustment done. Now, who else needs some adjusting," I taunt the other succubi, and another one of them comes up to me, readying a pink spear in hand.

She then closed the distance between us in an instant and swung her spear downwards towards my head, but strangely it was out of range.

FWOOSH

The spear tip extended into a massive scythe that almost cut me in half, but as it was so obvious, I had already moved back before summoning my own scythe.

She began to twirl the scythe over her head and then threw it up into the air like a baton in a marching band.

VWOOM VWOOM VWOOM

The momentum it built up was so insanely fast that it looked as if the spear was now spinning backward.

And even as she caught it, she didn't lose any of the momenta as she spun around and then threw it at me like a chakram.

TING

I deflected it with my own scythe and then slashed it a couple of times while loading my spear with black flames.

Blades of black flames flushed out of my scythe and threatened to cut the succubus in front of me in half.

She was a bit surprised by the power, but after seeing the previous fights, she quickly adjusted to my strength once again.

SHING

As the blades were too strong to be blocked, she deflected each blade by redirecting them with her own pink scythe.

The scythe she used was strange as it wasn't made of tangible material, but it could interact with tangible objects.

"That's pretty cool," I muttered to myself before deciding to end the match as I had grasped enough of her power… or so I thought.

Thousands of sickles appeared in the crater, forcing me to use my wings as they coated the ground like caltrops.

My eyes couldn't help but gleam as I never thought you could use flames like this.

I'll add that to my collection of moves.

As I was intrigued with this one succubus, I decided to let her close the distances as tiny bat wings appeared on her back.

She flew up towards me before throwing her scythe at me.

It was a textbook way of closing the distance against a long-range user, so as soon as I blocked the pink scythe, she punched me in the face pretty hard.

In fact, I might even feel it tomorrow.

"Impressive," I muttered before cracking my neck.

Just as she was about to kick off of me with her right foot by placing it on my stomach, I grabbed her foot and then lifted her up before slamming her against the ground.

Surprisingly, she was able to stay conscious, giving me a good idea of the durability and defense of these succubi.

A tank, huh? Are they used at the front lines?

In a desperate attempt to close the distance again, she conjured five scythes that were sent spinning towards me like chakram.

I immediately blocked both of them with my scythe, but she just repeated the same move… so I ended the fight as she wasn't showing me anything new.

FWOOSH

I flew down towards her, but it seems I fell for her bait as she suddenly stopped flying and began to fell down, allowing me to punch her stomach.

She coughed up a bit of blood before wrapping her legs behind my head and locking my arm in an armbar.

"ARGHHHH!" She cried out as she pulled down hard on my arm, instantly shattering the bone.

She expected to see my expression melting in pain, but all she saw was a face-recognizing and approving her strength.

"You're quite strong… I'll give you that," I say before healing my arm with [Sirens Apostle: Forbidden Healing] and then lifting her up.

She tried to break my arm again, but now I was resisting, so I began to punch her into the ground continuously while she tried to fight over the control of my arm.

BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM

"You did a great job," I muttered before tossing her to the side.
