Arpious of the Planes

As soon as I notice the changes in our surroundings, I immediately activate [Mind Magic].

"Everybody, keep fighting the opponent in front of you. Akito and his party, I leave the wolf to you. It should be the easiest to kill," I say mentally.

I don't even wait for their response as I immediately try and sense where the guardians are coming from. Once I closed my eyes, I saw all living beings as white specks and on the opposite side of the battlefield, were 2 massive white spots.

I open my eyes and fly over in their direction without hesitation. I also see Akito and his party running ahead of the army with Mia taking control. Surrounding her were 6 floating whitish-pink koi that circled her.

Not even 10 seconds after, I arrived at the signal, and there they were. A 5 meter tall, black wolf with yellow stripes and stars as eyes. And a 6 meter tall, brown deer with dots of bright green all over its skin. With massive green antlers, about half the size of its actual body.

They both stared at me while preparing their attacks. Spears and swords, made from moonlight flew at me from every direction while the wolf charged towards me, teeth protruding from its mouth.

The deer had taken a few steps back, while a massive plant with sharp teeth shot out of the ground. I easily dodged it and cut it in half with my sword.

As soon as I saw the plant fall to the ground, the wolf appeared in front of me, trying to bite me in half. Instead of dodging, I decided to swing upwards and caused a small laceration on its stomach.

It predicted this and tanked the slice while swatting at me with its paw.

BAM

I crashed into the ground where carnivorous plants proceeded to surround me.

"I just remembered, I forgot my scythe,"

I was in so much of a rush to get here, that I forgot to even bring my new weapon.

*sigh*

"This katana might do though," I mutter while cutting up the carnivorous plants around me.

"Your highness! We can take it from here!" Akito says, blocking the incoming wolf's bite with a wave of blood.

"Thanks," I say before darting past the enraged wolf.

I moved my gaze onto the massive deer which shuffled slightly, while a green ball was forming in between its antlers. Instead of letting it do as it pleases, I activated [Commanding Guardian Phoenixes Presence], [Concentration], and [Tangible Bloodthirsty Aura], which created an arched halo above my head.

The sudden pressure and ominous feeling the exuded from my body, was enough to make the guardian flinch slightly. It even interrupted the charging process for its green ball attack.

Since I arrived in my cutting range, I swung my katana but it was blocked by the deer's antlers. They were harder than any metal I have ever encountered. Even the sound when they collided sounded like bashing metal together.

"You dare challenge us. That damn bird was growing senile, so of course, you could kill him. If you hadn't done it, I would've done it already," a woman's voice spoke in my mind.

"Shut up you fucking deer," I say before taking another swing at her.

She blocked it once again with her antlers but this time my halo burst out, throwing red spikes at the deer's eyes. She turned her head to the side and I used that split second of weakness to swing once again at her neck.

The deer tanked the hit which my katana barely did any damage. If I wanted to do damage I needed powerful magic or my scythe… which I left at home.

"[Forbidden Magic: Zeus's Nimbus],"

"F-forbidden magic! How do you have forbidden magic- wait you have 3 different forbidden magic skills!" the deer shouts.

"So you do have [Inspect]... Then you should also see that I'm not a siren anymore… idiot," I taunt before letting the thundercloud rise into the sky.

"W-what is that evolution, I've never seen it before… " the deer stutters, while creating a massive carnivorous plant below me.

It shoots up like a bullet, jaws wide open ready to devour me. I didn't have enough time to react since it caught me off guard, but once I entered its jaws… I cut it open from the inside.

Its head split into 6 separate pieces, splitting like a blooming flower.

"You'll have to do better than that," I taunt.

"Urk,"

The deer charges up another light green ball between its antlers while creating another carnivorous plant below me. It looked like a venus fly trap from earth… but much, much, bigger.

I sighed deeply while cutting its head off. I then tried to pick up speed but was rudely interrupted by another plant head filled with teeth.

tsk

I turn my head back to see the carnivorous plant that I just cut had grown back its head but another head grew with it. Once I cut it again, it grew back with 4 heads this time.

"It's like a hydra," I mutter with a smile.

Suddenly, the air started to vibrate and when I turned my head back, I saw the deer completed her charging process. Without panicking I close the distance between us while dodging and ignoring the hydra-type plant's bites.

I struck the deer with [Forbidden Magic: Zeus's Nimbus] causing it to seize up for a moment. Once it unfroze the deer started to back up and before I knew it, the light green ball had shot at me.

[Mystic Arm and Leg]

A purple exoskeleton of my arm and leg was created and then I tried to block the beam of light with the millisecond I had left. I felt my body become warm, but that was it. My [Pain Immunity] was doing wonders for me.

Since there was no pain I was easily able to nudge my way out of the strong beam of green light.

"W-WHAT! HOW!"

Before the deer could launch another attack, I swung at it with my sword. A blade of black flames cut its face but wasn't strong enough to do any significant damage. For some reason, the black flames didn't stick, and just assumed it was because I didn't have Amaterasu anymore.

BAM

I used the nimbus again, creating a lightning bolt strike that struck the area between us. Instead of waiting for the bolt to die down, I charged through it since I had [Lightning Resistance] and [Pain Immunity].

The deer didn't expect me to appear right in front of it with a sadistic smile. I had very few burns that quickly healed up in a split second before I activated [Forbidden Magic: Medusa].

I dug my purple ethereal hand into its skin as the deer cried out in pain. Then I placed my left hand which was using medusa, onto its skin, slowly turning it into stone. The deer was horrified by the sight of its face turning to stone, which then caved inwards.

The deer tried to shake me off, but my grip was too strong, allowing medusa to work its way into its brain. It let out one last blood-curdling scream, that ripped through the forest before its head crumbled into dust.

The body dropped to the ground with a loud crash, signaling me to deactivate all my attack skills.

*sigh*

"The antlers weren't affected at all…" I say, crouching down.

The green antlers were still intact, shiny, and full of life. They also gave off a faint green glow that warmed me up.

ROOOOAR

What I heard wasn't the roar of a bear or wolf, but the roar of something else.

I cut my finger and let my blood minions bring back the corpse and antlers before I dashed in the direction of the roar.

I saw Akito and his party fighting the wolf ahead of me, but there was also the hydra-type plant, that now had 8 heads.

"I'm gonna end this quickly,"

I take in a deep breath before crouching down. I then pushed out all the air in my lungs, causing the world to slow down as I jump straight at the plant, creating a web-like crater below me.

Instead of aiming for its heads, I instead aimed for the body. Where I activated [Forbidden Magic: Medusa]. The gray mist emitted from my hands, as I dug my nails into the plant's body.

ROOOOAR

It roared in pain once again, as it started to turn to stone. All 8 of its heads focused on me, trying to remove the parasite that clung to their leg. Their saliva drenched me, but their necks weren't flexible enough to bend down and eat me.

I smiled smugly at all 8 heads, causing the plant to roar out in anger once more, before its dying breath.

The rubble that remained, fell to the ground, disintegrating into tiny pieces.

…

"HER HIGHNESS HAS ALREADY FINISHED HER FIGHT! WE WILL NOT DISAPPOINT HER!" I yell towards my party.

They were battered and bruised. Any one of them could fall over and die right now if it wasn't for Ichika's healing. I could've used my healing magic, but I didn't want to waste any mana if we already have a healer doing her job.

I look over to her highness who has just turned the giant carnivorous plant into dust and saw that she was carefully observing our fight. She wasn't going to step in just yet, but I didn't want to disappoint her.

"WE WILL FINISH THE WOLF OFF WITH ONE LAST ATTACK! ICHIKA, USE THE REST OF YOUR MANA TO HEAL US!" I shout.
