AFTER THREE HOURS...
A single message flashed in front of Arnold.
___
101/250 Gear made.
___
"Looks like they are done." Arnold mumbled as he read the message.
Once Arnold knew that his automatons would be able to do the job without his assistance, he ordered them to go back inside the domain and finish assembling the remaining guns inside since the flow of time inside his domain was thrice as fast as the outside world,
For Arnold, only three hours had passed while inside his domain, nine hours had already been over. His automatons were quick, yet they took that much time to assemble a hundred semiautomatic pistol as well as its ammunition.
While the automatons were busy assembling the guns, Arnold had his hands filled as he tried to figure out, how was he supposed to test the grenades that he made. He could have used it inside the workshop but then he had no idea about their damage and their range, also, he didn't want to cause unnecessary damage to the equipment present there.
As he opened up the void for the automatons to come out and deliver the assembled guns, he got an idea. He told Talos and others to continue doing their work in the workshop, while he went inside his domain. Once inside he was greeted by someone who, he didn't want to see right now. It was one of Arnold's elite summons, someone whom he never ever summoned into the real world.
It was Natasha, a 'high ranking' succubus, who was once a boss of a B ranked dungeon and was killed by him. But it wasn't an easy feat at all. In fact, Natasha charmed him using her succubi magic, and had nearly managed to trick him into shooting himself with his guns. If it wasn't for Talos, who was immune to her charm as he didn't had 'feelings', Arnold would've been dead by now.
Once she was dead, Arnold resurrected her, hoping she wouldn't be as strong as her past self so that he'll be able to control her. It had always been this case everytime Talos resurrected someone.
When someone was resurrected using Talos' [Animate Dead] skill, they leveled down quite a bit, but sadly, in Natasha's case she only leveled down by 3 levels which decreased her rank from A+ to A. Afraid that she'd again pull a stunt like before, he swore he wouldn't call her out of the domain until and unless it was absolutely necessary. As his domain was the only place where he could control her.
Arnold glanced at her once... and his heart went nuts, but he was able to get a hold of his unfounded desires, before things got out of his hands. It wasn't like Arnold had some kind of love or l.u.s.t for the succubus, rather than that, it was just an effect of her medical aura.
The good news for him was that his summons were immune to the effects of her aura while they were inside the void, but that didn't stopped her from seductively swaying her body around. The moment she saw Arnold entering the domain, she immediately walked towards him, swaying her body more than she usually did. (Author's note : Void and the domain are one and the same things.)
'Oh crap!' That's the first thought he had when he saw her walking towards him.
Everytime she swung her h.i.p.s, the magenta coloured wings attached to her back fluttered around a bit while her tail moved like an ocean wave. She was practically n.a.k.e.d, apart from her choice of clothes which consisted only of two thin black colored strip of fur, which barely managed to contain her chest. Arnold hated to admit it but her black clothes and lips, certainly looked good on her reddish skin.
She stopped in front of Arnold and purposefully bowed down to him in such a manner that gave Arnold a clear view of her ample cleavage.
Arnold quickly looked away before saying, "Your filthy tricks won't work on me. Not inside the domain at the very least."
"I would never try to trick you... master." Natasha gave him a sensuous smile, "After all, I exist to serve you... and your body."
"Cut it out. I've got some work to do."
"Or you could do me first... M-a-s-t-e-r."
"Don't try to piss me off or-"
"Or what? Will master discipline me? Maybe take me out of here and I'll let you do whatever you want. I'll make your deepest and darkest desires come true..."
As usual, Arnold's patience ran out. He didn't had the time nor the intention to indulge himself with this perverted masochist anymore. Furthermore he had a task to do but maybe... this situation was a blessing in disguise.
"You... seriously want my desires to come true right?" Arnold tried his best to act as if he had given into his l.u.s.t as he stepped towards the succubus.
"Yes... master." Natasha smiled as if she finally got what she was waiting for.
"Then you won't mind whatever I do next?" Arnold leaned in for a kiss.
"You can do a-n-y-thing you want..." Natasha could feel Arnold's breath on her face.
"Then... close your eyes..."
"Why do you..."
"Just do it..." Arnold mumbled and signaled his other summons to step back with one of his hands while he took something out from his inventory using his other hand.
"If master wishes so..." Natasha closed her eyes and waited for Arnold to kiss her.
'Just one kiss and you'll become a slave to the pleasure that only I can give you and then... I'll be free.' She thought, but to her surprise nothing happened. She waited and waited... but still nothing. She hastily opened her eyes, only to see that Arnold was no longer there... neither was anyone else. Just as she was about to take a step, she felt something next her feet.
"You wanted me to punish you right?" Arnold shouted from her behind, "Consider this a favour from me to your perverted self."
"YOU TRICKED M-" Natasha yelled, but before she could complete what she was saying, the grenades below her feet exploded. The first grenade that exploded froze her on the spot while the other one burnt her away.
"The range on these is sufficient... actually it's more than sufficient." Arnold mumbled as the flames from the second explosion nearly managed to reach his feet.
___
Your summon(s) :
has been destroyed.
TIME TO RESURRECT : 2 Hours
___
"I seriously need to stop destroying my summons... but, can't say she didn't deserve it, she's always a pain in the ass. At least now I know that the grenades are strong enough to one-shot an A ranked monster." Arnold couldn't help but smile after the pervert got annihilated. "Since I'm already here, might as well... revive the Dreadnought."
