Arpious of the Planes

"M-My status is still here, so what happened?" I muttered to myself, but I guess the queen was benevolent enough to actually reply.

"My skill resets your body to the state it was in previously, meaning all the buffs you've applied have been taken away. Even with all the gear and jewelry, my stats will be higher… meaning you'll never win a close confrontational fight,"

"And why are you telling me this?" I smirked with a large drop of sweat rolling down my face.

"Because I want you to make this fight more interesting,"

At this point, a vein on my forehead almost burst open with blood.

"Show me your skill, not your skills. I want to see what you can do without the status… I see that scythe mastery, but all I've seen is you swinging it around like a sword… how disappointing… is that all your feeble body is capable of?"

She was most definitely a queen as that arrogant attitude was something that was required for the perfect cliche royal enemy.

"Fine," I smirked before activating my other wings, increasing my control and flexibility within the air.

In addition to that, the dragon wings allow me to fly even faster than before, and with others, I now practically rule the skies.

As the queen's blade slowly extended, my scythe seemingly gurgled with rage, the small daggers on end bubbling with absolute power.

"*sigh*... it's been a while since I've used my scythe without any actual skills involved… alright, let's go," I smiled before dashing in towards her.

She was a bit surprised by my jump in speed, but just like always, she immediately adjusted to my new state.

Her sword immediately began to deflect my scythe, but with each deflection, my scythe grew faster and faster as I used the deflection to gain momentum.

Eventually, my scythe was just a blur, and the queen was barely hanging on as we took our fight to the ground.

Everybody cleared the way for a new arena to open up where just me and the queen exchanged slices with our own weapons.

I was even forced to activate [Arae's Dress] as this motherfucker kept slipping in attacks in exchange for me scratching her armor.

"Dammit… I should've brought the armor my wife made for me," I muttered to myself, but I couldn't get stuck on this as it was too late.

Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting

All of a sudden, the queen's attacks took a sharp rise in speed, and now I was the one being overwhelmed by her nimble and swift hits.

I was just barely deflecting them, and when I tried to buff myself again, I felt no difference, meaning the queen had time to check up on my status… she still wasn't going all out yet.

"Tch… I hate people like you," I muttered despite me knowing I was exactly like her when it came to weaker enemies.

"Nice moves, hypocrite,"

Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting

Suddenly, a wave of green aura erupted from the queen's blade, and it washed through me like an ethereal ocean tide.

I didn't feel any different until I noticed the queen was overwhelming me even further. It was almost like the gap in skill between us had doubled.

…

"Goddammit," I muttered before activating Hermes, but even then, I wasn't able to use it, so I was forced to make space the old fashion way.

As I ran away from her, I glanced back down at my status, but before I could do what I wanted to do, a flurry of attacks came flying right back at me.

Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting Ting

Now, I was taking too much damage and was practically being toyed around with by this woman… until a beam of flashing tore through the woman's sword, making it shatter into green dust.

From atop the city wall, I saw Ysal in her dragon form firing off beams to help support me, but it was more like she was just fighting the queen by herself while I was useless.

Though all of a sudden, I felt something lift off my shoulders, and I attempted to use Hermes once again.

VWOOM

I appeared behind the queen and sliced at her neck, my black blade just barely scratching past her as a barrier of green light appeared at her nape.

"I see… So you have to be focusing on your target for it to work… that's pretty shit in war," I chuckled before taking a few steps back.

The elf tried to conjure a new sword to swipe at me, but a beam of light came crashing into her automatic barrier behind her head, almost melting through it as another one was shot.

VWOOM

She just barely managed to dodge it, but now I buffed myself completely and swung hard down towards her nape.

My scythe immediately collided with her barrier but the swing that was reinforced by tons of buffs and a swing skill managed to shatter it.

TING

But, she slipped her green sword in between her nape and the scythe before swinging the scythe away, completely deflecting my power attack.

Just how strong is this bitch?!
