Arpious of the Planes

What the fuck…

"What? Did you think I grew up in some royal castle? Nope, I'm just doing this job because I want money for my family," She says before roughly throwing her arm over my shoulder.

"So not cute… But so cool," I muttered with sparkling eyes.

"Thanks,"

I was frozen in place by her beauty, and everybody was surprised by my docile appearance as Loni continued to hold her arm over my shoulder.

My cheeks were flushed red, and when she pulled me in to kiss the top of my head, I thought I would melt.

Soon, steam came rushing out of my ears, and I fainted on the snow.

…

I woke up the next day, early in the morning, to go use the bathroom, but the feeling quickly went away upon seeing hundreds of glowing blue eyes stalking me from a distance.

I glanced up at the igloo we were in and noticed it was cracked, which is why so many yeti's had gathered… and far in the distance, I could also feel a massive and powerful presence waiting for the right moment to pounce.

[Summon: Phoenix]

[Summon: Walking Jungle Hydra]

[Summon: Overlord Deer]

[Summon: Overlord Wolf]

A phoenix with white feathers appeared in the sky before crying out, causing the air to vibrate and the blizzard around us to clear.

Now, I could clearly see the yetis stalking us from the treeline, but they didn't hesitate as they created massive spears of ice and tried to throw it at my phoenix.

BOOM

But they couldn't as a massive plant-like hydra crushed them from above, and the heads which were being cut off tore chunks of flesh from their bodies.

The heads just doubled as well, and it seems they were smart enough to go for the heart… but there was no heart.

It's a plant… not a monster.

Suddenly, a massive beam of greenish-yellow light tore through the tree line and disintegrated the monsters into nothing.

The remaining ones who tried to run away glanced at the moon, which was smiling at them, and upon feeling a chilling sensation run down their body, their bodies were slashed into thirds.

AWOOOOOOOO

My wolf howled while the other summons cried out, causing them to resonate, tearing the blizzard apart.

'Who are you!' A booming voice suddenly appears in my mind.

[Telepathy]? Or maybe [Mind Magic]?

"Are you the yeti king?" I ask before taking a leak near a tree.

'Why should I tell you?'

"So you are the yeti king," I chuckled to myself before signaling my summons to go and find the monster behind all this… I might finally gain a new skill.

'So what if I am the yeti king! YOU WILL PAY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SLAUGHTERING MY PEOPLE!'

His voice was so loud that I could feel my eardrums begin to bleed… despite the voice just being sent into my head.

Suddenly, the blizzard came back, and it was ten times stronger than before.

The gusts of wind crashed against our cracked igloo like a tsunami instead of just a wave.

"[Forbidden Magic: Skadi]," I muttered before snapping my fingers, reinforcing the igloo around us into an indestructible ice shell.

But, I severely underestimated the yeti king as I glanced upwards towards the moon, which had returned to normal… and noticed a massive spear of ice the size of one of the gigantic trees surrounding us.

FWOOSH

The spear tore through the air as if it was a rocket tearing its way through the atmosphere, into space itself.

CRACK

It clashed with the dome I had created, and due to all the commotion, everybody awoke and began to try and evacuate.

"DON'T LEAVE!" I shouted as leaving now would result in his bait working.

Nobody listened to me besides Amanda, who began to calm them down slowly, and once everybody wasn't panicking, she began to help me out with the igloo around us as cracks started to form.

This thing wasn't created in an instant… It was most likely shielded by the moon illusion that the wolf created… DAMMIT!

The spear tip suddenly burst through the igloo even with our power combined, causing everybody around us to scream in panic.

Some people had fainted, and some people were crouched down, hugging their legs as they awaited their death.

"PLEASE, ALL-MIGHTY SPIRIT OF ICE, SAVE US!" One of them cried out.

FWOOSH

A spark of black electricity appeared in my hand, creating my trusty scythe, and upon deactivating Skadi, the spear broke through the igloo.

Amanda was panicking and confused as to why I let go, but it was apparent it would eventually break through,

"So I just have to do this," I mutter before swinging my scythe up while also using [Unparreled Slash].

[Unparreled Slash] is a weaker version of the Apocalyptic Swing I assimilated, so this wouldn't absolutely tear through the air.

SHING

The air vibrated as my spear was coated with medusa, and upon slashing up, the spear was cut into thirds.

But, the thirds suddenly barreled towards the people who were stills screaming and panicking with intense fear.

People were crying out for their beloved spirits to save them… but they didn't need to worry anymore as the more miniature icicles slowly cracked.

And within an instant, they all disintegrated into gray ash that slowly mingled with the blizzard around us.

"Foooo… Alright, create the igloo again. I'm gonna try and find the root cause," I say as my monsters had found the yeti king but were ripped apart in an instant.

Their light particles slowly came back to me as I dashed towards where they were previously.

I also saw Amanda recreating the igloo as the blizzard was so extreme that some of the weaker nobles were already developing signs of frostbite and hypothermia.

ROOOOOAAAAAAAR

Suddenly, a roar shook the trees around me, and it sent a shiver down my spine as I approached a massive base camp with dozens of yetis going about their daily life.

Apparently, these things are proficient in illusions which is why we were unable to detect their presence despite them not being too far away.

[Icicle Thread and Needle]

[Grand Assassins Perfect State]

I slipped into the shadows, and unsurprisingly, they weren't able to detect me as I noticed most of them were just muscle heads who could barely think for themselves.

In fact, they didn't even have an advanced form of communication besides the king, who spoke fluent English for me.

Oh, I've been meaning to ask this, but how come everybody here speaks English? Shouldn't they be speaking some fantasy language?

'I made it like that. Every monster and human speaks the same fantasy language, but I adjusted you after a few of your evolutions to be able to use that fantasy language. It's just in the form of English so you can tell what others are saying… But damn, that took a while,' My inner demon says.

What took a while?

'Adjusting your fucking brain to understand the language. Do you know how hard that was in my weakened state?'

Nope… Anyway, it is time to begin the slaughter.

A thread and needle made from extremely thin ice appeared in front of me as I stood in the night.

The thread then burst from in front of me and sunk straight through the yeti's head in front of me.

It didn't do much besides make him stumble despite it going straight through its head and coming out the other side, so this time I went through the ear… and it came out the other ear, killing it instantly.

The yeti dropped to the floor, and once the others had identified he was dead, they all roared.

Assuming it came from the human camp in the distance, they all ran towards it, but I took them down one by one with my needle, which I had expanded by a few more inches as their brain was massive.

I needed them to die instantly, not gradually die from blood loss.

The king also came out, and the only difference between him and the regular yeti's was that he was wearing a crown… but it was disappointing.

His status was so weak besides one skill that caught my eye.

"Oh," I muttered before slipping through the night and crawling up the back of his body.

Even a spirit couldn't save him now as I stabbed Raiu into the back of his head, causing black flames to erupt from the inside.

Black flames burst from every orifice in his head, causing the remaining yetis to roar out with intense fear.

ROOOOAAAAAAR

Some were angry… some were scared… some were anxious… but they all ended up dying that night.

And the group of yetis which had been terrorizing that part of the forest had disappeared off the face of the map.

The only sign that they used to live there was the massive spot of continuously burning black flames.

"Just a days work," I muttered before jumping into Loni's arms who hugged me tightly.

"You did such a good job,"

"Thank you, thank you. I already know I am the best," I muttered but the shape of a demon suddenly appeared in front of me… so I took that thought back immediately.

I guess I'm not the strongest.

The shape then disappeared as we all went back to sleep.
