Arpious of the Planes

Hoh… one desperate final attack? The wolf only has tiny lacerations all over its body and one big cut on its eye. Maybe, they are all going to aim for the head or neck...

I also want to see [Forbidden Magic: Dracula] in action. It seems interesting to say the least. Possibly suck out blood or maybe turn into a bat. Was he able to do that or was that reserved for normal vampires…?

I was snapped out of my deep thought, realizing that I forgot to turn off [Concentration] from the air starting to vibrate. I looked up to see Ichika concentrating as hard as she can to heal each party member to the best of her capabilities.

A warm golden glow enveloped her hands, with golden strings wrapping around her party members' waists. Their cuts and bruises started to heal slightly but since she was healing them all at the same time, it was a much slower process.

By the time they ready their attack skills, they should be 2/3 healed. This is more than enough for Richard and Akito but the amazonian pair might do no damage at all.

"Troublesome… I guess I'll give them a slight helping hand,"

When I activated [Blood Devouring Army Enhancement] before, I purposely didn't give Akito or his party, any of the buff. If they received the buff, they wouldn't be able to think due to my skill pumping an excessive amount of adrenaline while firing up the parts of your brain that are used for battle.

[Blood Devouring Army Enhancement]

[Vampiric Blood Mist]

A dark red aura that was thicker than water, wrapped around the party excluding Ichika. They tried as hard as possible to keep in control of their own body while still receiving Ichikas healing. Akito controlled it like it was natural and even wrapped it around his spear.

Back to me. The sides of my mouth released a blood-red mist which controlled to make an invisible layer that enveloped Wolf's body. The wolf was so much weaker than me, that it didn't even notice when it breathed it in.

Out of the entire party, only Akito would've had a chance of sensing this mist because of the blood-like properties.

"Let's see how this plays out now,"

Ichika fell to her knees, clearly due to mana exhaustion but her party members were fully healed. Not bruises, abrasions, or cuts were seen on their body. It seemed I underestimated her capabilities.

The party was filled with power and readied their final attacks. Richard used [Berserk] while activating [Immovable Body Enhancement] and readying his shield. He was on the brink of lashing out at everybody due to the stacked berserk buffs.

Ren the assassin had started sweating profusely but it was an unnatural amount. I then realized that it was [Poison Secretion] since it looked the same as when I used it back then. A slimy substance that can corrode away at most things besides metal, only [Acid Secretion] can do that.

The poison had soaked her clothes but also soaked her twin daggers.

Ran the archer or rens twin brother, drawn back his bow while activating [Boost], [Arrow Enhcanement], and [Fire Magic]. [Boost] let him pull the arrow much farther back while slightly twisting it. [Arrow Enhancment] turned his wooden arrow a light green color with a slight light green glow.

Finally, [Fire Magic]. He created small embers that burst into flames and then manipulated them into a small ball. It looked like a bright red clay ball but it was made completely out of condensed flames. She then placed the ball on the tip of the arrow and drew it back even farther than last time.

Now, Akito. The man who is the second strongest in the kingdom. His fame might be even higher than me, the queen. He specializes in using blood and recently acquired forbidden magic that should be related to blood… [Forbidden Magic: Dracula].

"Let's see what he uses…" I mumble while staring intently at Akito.

"[Forbidden Magic: Dracula]," Akito mutters.

A small grin crept onto my face when I heard those words. I was thrilled at what he could place on the table of power.

The shadow of a sadistically smiling vampire appeared for a second, then all of the aura around him got sucked into his hand. A mouth made from a blood-red aura then condensed over his hand, giving off an ominous feeling. The mouth was full of razor-sharp teeth instead of two fangs which slightly surprised me.

I looked back up at Akito's face, making my grin grow even wider. His pupils were now small sliver almost like he was a hunter and the mountain guardian was his prey.

I then looked at the mountain guardian who had been doing nothing this entire time, letting his or her opponent ready their attacks.

"Oh, what's this…"

I sensed a myriad of spears, swords, battle axes, knives, and halberds made from the moonlight above the clouds. It was just in my range and I debated whether I should do something about it.

I looked at the party who was nervous, the wolf, and back into the sky, where thousands of weapons made from moonlight were aimed right at Akito and his party.

…

I used [Sunlight Control] and felt sunlight right above the dark clouds. The night that was made by the wolf was fake, as it only blocked out the sun and created an artificial moon.

Since the moonlight weapons were created above the clouds I was able to take them out one by one with [Sunlight Control]. I just wrapped sunlight around it, which nullified the moonlight, easy as pie.

It seemed the wolf didn't notice since Akito and his part had finished readying their attack. They crouched low before charging right a the wolf.

"FOOLS! WHA- WAIT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY-" says a woman's voice.

The wolf looked around frantically at the sky searching for her missing weapons. This moment of panic was more than enough time to let Akito and his party land their attacks.

The wolf's head was shot with a flaming arrow that burned away at her eye. A massive shield clunked her chin, sending her flying back and knocking her out. 2 daggers coated with poison, stuck into each side of its neck. Finally, the mouth of a monster latched onto its throat and started to suck its blood dry.

Not long after, the wolf had shriveled up into a bloodless corpse. The party all went to help Ichika but it seems Richard was having a problem. The berserk effects are still stacked so I un-did [Blood Devouring Army Enhancement], on all the party members.

This eased the berserk state on him but he still activated [Berserk] so I stepped in. Akito was trying to stop him but [Forbidden Magic: Dracula] took a lot out of him.

I slightly tapped him on the back of his neck, short-circuiting his nerves causing a blackout. Richard fell to the ground while closing his eyes. Akito and his party soon calmed down since they didn't have the energy to stop Richard.

"T-thank you, your highness," Akito says, struggling to kneel on one knee.

"Take care of yourselves for now. Once Ichika recovers make sure to fully heal yourself and come back to the battlefield, we're not done yet," I say before flapping my wings and flying towards the battlefield that still raged on.
