Arpious of the Planes

She gave me a long stare before sheathing her sword, but her eyes were like daggers that sunk into us, carefully keeping track of us.

"Then, please excuse my previous actions," She immediately apologizes, but there was apathetic intent.

"Thank you very much," I respond before walking past her towards the door.

"Wait, allow me to escort you," She suddenly speaks up just as we pass through the doorway, and I resist the urge to roll my eyes.

"Whatever," I mutter before gesturing for her to follow us, which she carefully did.

So annoying.

Soon, I felt a few more assassins enter the hallway we were in, and the female knight was a bit surprised as this basically played right into my favor.

"Let's see if you're good at what you do," I taunted the knight, who shot me a glare before unsheathing her sword and then stabbing it into the floor.

Krkkkkk

A blast of ice coated the room, freezing the shadows and completely coating the assassins in ice.

Some were still awake, so I hopped over to them and gave them a slight tap on the head which was just enough to send them over the bridge of the dead.

"You're pretty good," I said as I gave the knight a pat on the back and tossed her a few gold coins to get the hallway fixed up.

"Thank you," She mutters, but once again, it was pretty apathetic.

"You could at least try and make it more believable," I chuckled to myself before continuing down the hallway with my newly acquired maid.

After a few minutes of walking, the succubus spoke up.

"Mistress,"

"Yes?"

"Are you sure we should keep her alive? Isn't this a recon mission and not an infiltration one?" She asks as she is clearly thinking about the dragon's orders.

"Eh, that dragon is annoying. We'll just infiltrate and do what we do best… Plus, I already know what to avoid, so don't worry, we won't die," I replied coldly.

"A-Are you sure? What if the Commander finds out about this?"

"Then I'll take the blame. Don't worry, I can take him for a bit," I replied, and as I glanced over at my maid, I noticed she was about to cry tears of joy.

"M-Mistress is so nice," She mutters, sniffling into her arm.

Her compliment was a good ego boost.

Now, what were we doing here? Well, we're here just to gather some information on the nobles as they're the people to who the Commander has taken the most interest in.

He thinks they are connected to the ancient frost or something, so here I am doing his errands.

Knock Knock

"Hello, is anybody there?" A fat man slowly opens the door and peers outside of his room.

Fwoosh

I slipped through the air-tight metal door and then knocked out the fat man but was met by a few guards who I tried to avoid by slipping into a shadow, but to my disappointment, I noticed there were no shadows in the room.

"Mistress, please allow me to take care of them," My maids speak up and dash towards the guards who raised their swords.

She conjured a few balls of pink flames within the center of her palms and then shot them at each guard, killing them instantly.

"My hero~," I muttered before patting the succubi's head, and she giggled a bit like a child.

Cute…

After each guard had died, I searched the fully metal room, and after a few hours of tiring and boring searching, I finally discovered a book that was encased in a wad of metal.

BAM

I instantly cracked it open and read the title.

"Frost," I muttered.

It was a simple name, and the book was about fifty pages long, which was really short for something that was encased in metal.

Well, I guess it's more about what's inside the book rather than its appearance.

But, even when I got my maid to read through it as I searched for more things… not because I was lazy or anything, and all she came up with was,

"A date, time, and year. Those are probably the only important parts of the book,"

"And, what are they?" I ask.

"7777, 7:77, and the year 77777,"

"What's the date now, and what is the year now?"

"I don't know. Only the plane guardian knows that date as nobody had ever dared to assume when this plane was created," She responded.

"That's kinda stupid," I muttered before exiting the room and checking my status, but more specifically, my titles and equipment.

[Equipment: [Queens Crown] [Green Ring of Twilight] [Purple Ring of Twilight] [Blue Ring of Twilight]

[Titles: [Blessed by the ********* Spirit of *************] [Savage Assassin] [Heartless] [Blessed by a Star] [Chief of the Fire Harpies] [Blessed by the Overlord Spirit of Curses] [Blessed by the Phoenix Mountain Guardian] [Blessed by the Overlord Spirit of Blessings] [Strong Willed] [Catastrophic Level Monster (2814 / 20000)] [Blessed by the Moon] [Blessed by the Emperor Spirit of Gold] [Ruler of the Mountain of Twilight] [Blessed by the Emperor Spirit of Ice] [Blessed by the Emperor Spirit of Snow] [Blessed by Mother Nature] [Alchemist] [Saintess] [True Hero] [Grand Holy Healer] [Grand Bowswoman] [Hard Worker] [Commander] [Respectable Figure] [Grand Assassin] [Blessed by the Overlord Spirit of Light] [Grand Swordsman] [Grand Spearman] [Enchantress] [Jewelry Designer] [Jewelry Maker] [One Who Lost Their Pride] [Naturally Talented] [Godly Spearman] [Respectable Figure] [Godly Swordsman] [One with the Earth] [Plane Guardian] [Enemy of the Succubi]

…

I really need new equipment… and what is this new title?

"Hey, maid, I got something to ask," I say before tossing the fat man back into the room and then welding the door shut with my black flames.

"Yes, Mistress?"

"I have this new title called the [Enemy of the Succubi],"

"Oh, the Commander has that as well. Basically, succubi aren't supposed to be conquered and used for an individual's pleasure, but I don't really mind and even though the title makes succubi hate you, I would never hate you," She says with a smile.

Huh… I see.
