Chapter 287 The Kingdom Of Twilight Vs The Plane Of Twilight (21)

I swung more and more. ;

Paimon looked like a rabid animal desperately trying to crawl away as I shattered his boney legs into pieces before devouring them. ;

Eventually, my purple aura turned into a pair of jaws that began to devour the pieces of bone with me. ;

And then finally, I reached his head. ;

FWOOSH ;

The flames that molded Paimon's expression suddenly burst out, but I blocked it with my own black flames. ;

"What a monster," Paimon mutters before my aura completely devours his head like it was a treat. ;

[Gained 50000 XP] ;

[You have leveled up] ;

[Gained the following skills] ;

[Flames of Hell] ;

[Insightful Thinking] ;

[Accelterated Thought Process] ;

[Decisive Planning] ;

… ;

I breathed out slowly, creating a black flame that poured from my mouth like liquid. ;

It coated the remaining bones, melting them into ooze, and I then activated my newly acquired flame. ;

[Flames of Hell] ;

Green flames ran from eyes like tears. They slowly dripped from out of my ears and nose… My mouth was untouched, though. ;

[Assimilation] ;

[Flames of Hell + Ancient Fire Magic: Amaterasu = Forbidden Magic: Prometheus] ;

The flames that poured from every orifice on my body suddenly turned into a bright red flame that began to coat the palace we were in. ;

"Master, I am impressed by your speed," Black says as he appears beside me. ;

I had used [Forbidden Magic: Hermes] to get all the way here in an instant, which is why my mana was so low… but I still ended up using the unnamed skill. ;

Snapping once, all the flames were extinguished. ;

I noticed everybody around me, including my wives, who were burned by my flames. ;

Their regeneration took care of their wounds, but they still seemed mad at me, so I walked over to them, ready to receive a scolding. ;

My anger had been extinguished with the flames, but I couldn't rid the disgusting smell that lined my nostrils like pollen in spring. ;

"Good job," Aika says, patting my shoulder. ;

"T-thanks," I respond, surprised by their calm reaction. ;

[HP: 1190/1200 ; MP: 249/1000 ; SP: 1000/1000]

Damn, this evolution is a cheat. ;

"Okay, shall we get this over with?" I ask my wives. ;

"Wait, Master, I feel a mighty presence towards the throne room of the palace," White interrupts me. ;

"I noticed," ;

"T-then?" ;

"What do you mean? Of course, we're going to kill them," ;

"Wait, Arpious, don't be rash. You need to think about all the soldiers as well… plus, there is the bait which I think we have pushed to its limit… The other humans who we blocked outside the wall have probably made their way back into the kingdom," Kumo says. ;

"I know… I saw," ;

"Then think more carefully," ;

"*sigh*... How about my newly acquired servants and I take care of all the strong humans in this palace, and you girls hold back the insane amount of humans currently on their way here," ;

"Sure. I don't have a problem with that," Kumo responds as it seems that is what she was already thinking about. ;

"I don't mind," My other wives say unanimously. ;

"Wait, who's going to lead all the monsters in this palace?" Black asks. ;

"Me, of course," ;

"As you wish," ;

"Also… who are they?" Kumo asks just as they are leaving. ;

"I'll tell you later. It's a long story… kinda," ;

"Okay, see ya. You better not die," Kumo says as she glances towards the end of the corridor where a warrior appeared. ;

A man clad in metal armor held a long, roughed-up gray sword. ;

He looked like an ordinary knight. His height was pretty average, and his body didn't seem that jacked, but the amount of pressure this guy exuded was unmatched to anything I have ever seen on this plane. ;

"Hello," I greet the man as I signal for all the soldiers to go down another hallway. ;

"Hello," He greeted me back. ;

I gripped the two weapons in my hand tightly, and the aura that dissipated after my slaughtering with Paimon re-erupted from my body. ;

"That's quite a monstrous aura you have there," The man says. ;

"Thanks-" ;

I was cut off by the man releasing his own aura that seemed to devour mine. ;

What the hell… This guy… Is he even human? ;

SHING ;

In an instant, a sword met my neck, but I was able to just barely deflect it with Raiu, allowing only a large scratch to appear on my cheek. ;

Holy shit, if it wasn't for [Accelterated Thought Process] and my [Abyss Magic], my neck would've been cut clean off.

The thought process skill slowed it down by just a second and [Abyss Magic] allowed me to see his move just slightly into the future. ;

"HUFF HUFF HUFF," ;

Near-death was close by as the Knight directed his missed swing downwards. ;

TING

I redirected it with Raiu and swung down with my scythe. ;

For some reason, my arms felt heavier than usual. Like they were filled with lead or I was trying to move in a swimming pool. ;

SHING ;

I missed completely. The knight barely moved out of the way and I was more embarrassed rather than scared. ;

The knight then took a step forward and kneeled down, grabbing the back of my legs with one arm and swinging his sword with the other. ;

I raised my knee a bit, cocking him in the chin, but his sword managed to slice off my left arm which held Raiu. ;

We both than separated as blazing red flames exploded from my scythe. ;

"That is quite an interesting flame you have there… It looks like it has been forged with life itself," ;

"Thanks," I mutter, as I winced in pain. ;

[Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei] ;

My arm began to regrow as the burning red flames turned white and coated my missing arm. ;

… ;

I was shocked. ;

The man didn't have many outstanding skills, but his stats were through the roof… besides his Magic stat. ;

But that's compared to me. ;

When compared to others, his stats are to die for. ;

"What do you think of becoming one of my servants? I'll treat you well," I suggest to the knight, but he just stood there, unfazed. ;

"I will have to decline your offer," He says before dashing in once again. ;

It was faster than before. ;

I managed to get a glimpse of it, but my body couldn't keep up. ;

Both of my arms were chopped off, causing me to lose both of my weapons but,

"Shouldn't have done the same move idiot," I taunt the man as a grand fire explodes from my body, melting the man's armor and sword. ;

The surrounding palace began to melt like plastic, just from the tiny amount of fire that exploded from my body. ;

"This thing is overpowered," I mutter but ducked down after feeling an instant dose of bloodlust.
