Arpious of the Planes

"What are you doing?" he asks me, oblivious of my identity.

My cold expression stays on my face as I stare into his dark red eyes. A chill got sent down his spine as he noticed my unique eyes.

"M-my queen. Forgive me for not noticing you earlier," Akito stutters, losing his cool expression.

Once Akito said this, a commotion started to appear. You could hear the

"It's fine. It was nice seeing my kingdom through the eyes of a citizen… nevermind that I see that you have evolved," I said getting a closer look at his blood-red hair.

"Yes, I have been working hard. But I wouldn't have been able to do it without my party over here," He says pointing to 1 elf, 2 amazonian's, and 1 fire harpy.

I already knew one of them which was Ichika who was the one that healed me during the war with the Golden Mountain Bears. I decided to inspect all of them to see why Akito picked them.

First of all, Ichika was changed out of her white clothes and into a normal grey dress that didn't stand out that much.

Same as before just one level higher. That's a given since healers aren't meant for killing things, making their level-up process much slower than normal.

…

The next person in Akito's party is an assassin named Ren. I'm assuming she's the twin of the other party member right next to her since they look so alike.

I'd say she's about 5'6, pretty short, and seems like she can turn off her assassin mode. A great assassin is somebody who is able to act normal and smile but immediately turn cold as stone not giving a single fuck.

Her light brown skin contrasts well with her black hair that goes down to just her shoulders. Her tattoos weren't very noticeable due to them being so small. They were in a very rigid and random pattern that went down to her hands and feet.

Her outfit was very… let's say… exposive. Her flat chest didn't help as she basically had the body of a child. She wore a tight shirt that only went to below her breasts and very short shorts.

Now moving onto the next one which I assume is her brother.

[Name: Ran]

[Race: Amazonian]

[Status: Excited]

[Body Modification: [Natures Tattoo]

[Titles: [True Archer] [Calm Predator]

...

Ran is pretty much identical to Ren in every way possible besides the gender. He is 5'6 with short black hair that goes down to his shoulders. His light brown skin seems to shine in the skin but it also has the same tattoos as Ren.

His tattoos are the same in the way that they are jagged and random, but his tattoos only go to his wrists and ankles instead of Rens which go to her hands and feet.

His clothes were pretty casual which were just shorts and a t-shirt, nothing special but I was pretty interested in his archer… class, should I call it. The only archer I have seen so far is not even a full archer but Sophia who made a move that utilized a bow.

I would assume he would be good at his class due to his short stature and high speed. He should be able to make lots of quick and fast movements for when he fires an arrow and then readjusts to a different spot.

… Finally moving onto this big and muscular fire harpy over here.

[Name: Richard]

[Race: Fire Harpy]

[Status: Calm]

[Level: 39/50]

[HP: 120/120 MP: 90/90 SP: 25/25]

[Strength: 15]

[Charisma: 5]

[Skills: [Greater Body Enhancement] [Fire Control] [Wind Control] [Intense Focus] [Immovable Body Enhancement] [Berserk] [Shield Slam]

[Titles: [Grand Tank]

...

The big and muscular guy had the same gentle giant air that Akio had. He was the tank of the party and seemed pretty proficient in his job if I'm going off his stats.

He didn't have [Flying Sense] so I assume he can't fly, making those feathers on his arm useless.

He was about 6'4 and well built which is necessary for a tank. He had short, dark red hair that was slightly spiky. Not much facial hair, just a bit of stubble that annoyed me.

Walking over to them I ignored the commotion that erupted behind me.

"Yo, my name is Arpious or the queen of this kingdom. Nice to meet you," I say holding out my hand to Ren.

"Nice to meet you, your highness," Ren says with a toothy grin.

I shook everybody's hand beside Ichika since we were already acquainted. But It seemed I caused a misunderstanding since Ichika tilted her head down with a sad expression.

"M-my queen, do you not like me. Is it because of the last time when I hurt you when trying to pull out the poles? I swear I'll try better if you give me another chance," Ichika says with a clearly forced smile that tried to hide her sadness.

"Oh, it's okay. Healers were never meant to be surgeons so I guess you didn't know how to work with this type of injury. Plus I lashed out at you just because I was slightly tense from our situation in the war," I said rubbing the bridge of my nose.

"Anyways… this is great! There is something I want to make that should include you guys. We are going to create an adventurers guild. To be honest, I have no idea why I'm so excited, but let's get on with it," I said gesturing for them to follow me.

"*cough* Excuse my rudeness, but what is an adventurers guild?" asks Richard.

"Just follow me," I say.

Before I left, I turned to Aika who was resting on a bench. I sat next to her as she realized what I have been wearing.

"It suits you. Before, when you wore a dress you were beautiful, but with this, you look really cool," Aika says, trying to hold in her excitement.

"Thanks… it seems you've been working hard. I don't know about you gaining mastery anytime soon but… you should still be proficient even without it," I say giving her a kiss on the cheek before leaving.

As we walked past the crowd, I saw the guy whose hand I shattered. After hearing it was the queen that did it to him he just sat there on the ground glaring at me with eyes full of rage.

His rage-filled gaze crawled on my skin as I was annoyed by his actions.

[Commanding Guardian Phoenixes Presence]

The air around me became thick and most of the citizens could barely stand up straight. Akito and his party were surprised by my sudden mood swing and recognized the power of the queen.

They couldn't stop me as they knew the demise of the elf in front of me was a gruesome one.

Since I concentrated my presence skill on the elf crawling on the ground he felt the brunt of the force. That brunt was like a 50-ton hammer getting slammed on him relentlessly. I could see some indentations in his skin from where I looked.

As I crouched down next to him, his face went pale and he seemed to be on the brink of consciousness and unconsciousness. Suddenly the air around became much heavier as I didn't hold back since I wanted to know the limits of my new skill.

The people around me all fell to their knees as some had already passed out. The only ones who were conscious were the great adventurers that were practicing their skills.

I could hear the crumbling of the elf's bones as he screamed out in pain but it was soon drowned out by the pressure in the air around him.

The indentations in his body soon turned to holes that punctured his limbs causing him to bleed out. As the blood flowed out it was even at the mercy of my skill.

It flowed out but quickly evaporated into the air.

Those punctures soon crawled up to his neck, causing him to gasp for air.

SPLURGE

In just a split second, his body exploded into blood… no meat, just blood. Leaving a stain on the arena grounds.

Deactivating the skill I looked at the collateral damage around me. All of the nonwarriors had passed out while only the strongest of the warriors present could barely keep one knee up.

Sighing, I snapped my fingers making white flames appear above every citizen on the premises.

"[Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei]," I muttered.

The white flames slowly fell onto everybody on the premises, causing the unconscious citizens to wake up. Not only were they back to normal but they felt stronger and healthier than before.

Seeing that they were waking up, I gestured to Akito and his party to continue to follow me. Their faces had a mixture of fear and awe as they followed me. None of them besides Akito had witnessed my power before them so it was to be expected.

Akito slightly snickered at the reaction of his party before following me.
