Arpious of the Planes

Not only was the worm cornering me in mid-air, but it was also gaining more and more speed with each time it hit a surface.

Eventually, I was unable to read far enough into the future, and I was slammed by the worm in the stomach, sending me flying across the room… but this time, it was really over.

Even though it was my inner demon's idea, no normal person inside my body would've been able to pull this off.

"Geez,"

I mean, even my head went blank as soon as it hit me, but as soon as it touched me, I grazed my hand along with it while using Medusa.

I saw the butt of the worm slowly disintegrate into dust, and it had already eaten away at what looked to be its two hearts, so just as it was about to eat away at the head, I snapped my fingers.

With just a single snap, the petrification stopped, and I saved the cool ass head, which I wanted to just hang on a wall.

"Alright, let's get this back," I muttered, and just as I was about to fly out the massive cavern, I glanced down and shrugged.

I was probably going to do something with this later on, but that will be once everything is done.

Creating an underground ice palace or base wouldn't be so bad… or maybe an entire palace made of gold using Midas? Who knows?

Tup

I landed on the damp ground soaked in blood and glanced up at the dark forest, which hung over me like the looming shadow of a demon lord.

This place was really scary, but the monsters weren't s bad as I initially thought.

"You are not allowed to go back," An assassin suddenly appeared before me, and like a moth to a flame, the others flocked behind him and tried to intimidate me.

"Why not? She never said I couldn't," I replied in a cold tone though I already expected this to happen.

"You must complete your mission before returning. It is common sense," The demon dressed in pitch black clothes says and I let out a long audible groan.

"I'm returning with my prize," I said and flapped my wings once again, flying over them.

They tried to stop me but with a blast of bright red flames, they backed down and let me continue, though their glares were pretty annoying.

After about a day or two of flying as I lost my way multiple times, I finally arrived back at the kingdom and decided to just fly directly to the succubi's castle.

Tons of magic blasts tried to shoot me down, but I evaded them with ease and in only a few more minutes, I arrived at my Mistress's balcony.

I saw her enjoying a time of pleasure with a few men on her bed, so I waited until she was done to reveal myself.

"I'm back~," I said as I skipped down the balcony into the succubi's room with a large worm haed that had already been drained of all of its blood.

"Oh my, did you already complete your mission?" She asked and as soon as I shook my head side to side, she unleashed a wave of bloodlust.

The tattoo on my chest then began to glow and I struggled to stand up.

"I-I just wanted to bring this prize back," I muttered, holding up the large head that I thought still looked really cool.

The succubus suddenly switched up and reeled in her threatening bloodlust.

"Was my little birdy that proud of her achievement?" She asked while slowly and seductievly waltzing over to me.

"I-I told you not to call me that," I said as she approached me and grabbed the bottom of my chin, forcing me to look up into her eyes.

"I will call you what I want, but, it seems you also wanted a reward for this, am I right?"

"No, I just wanted to save this," I said and she just continued to smile before moving her hand down from my chin, to the thin collar around my neck where she grabbed the ring made for a leash.

"You didn't bring a portal bag?" She asked, her gaze practically branding my skin.

"N-No… I don't know where to get one," I replied and all of a sudden, she snapped, taking off all my armor.

The only thing I had left was a thing white t-shirt and some tight pants that didn't restrict my movement in the armor at all.

She then snapped her fingers once more, and my prized worm head dissapeared.

"Does my little birdy really, desperately want a reward? Did you really come back just to frame it?" My Mistress asked.

"I-I swear I just wanted to hang it up on a wall," I said and the succubus suddenly tossed me onto her bed which was unkept from the previous actions done it just a few minutes before.

'Are you sure you wanted to come back here to frame it?' My inner demon asked me.

Of course! You're supposed to be on my side, geez… I swear I'm not that horny. I was even having fun killing all those worms.

"Little birdy… do you want a reward that desperatly?" My Mistress asked as she crawled onto the bed and sat on top of me.

She then turned me onto my side and she laid my head in her lap, allowing her to stroke my hair which almost made me melt.

Her slender fingers running through my hair was bliss…

"Now, next time you come back without completing your mission, I'll have to punish you severly. I'm placing a lot of trust in you, so don't undermine my expectations," She said and I just slightly nodded while enjoying this rewarding moment.

"Can you make sure the head doesn't rot? C-Can you also frame it?" I asked as I looked up into her eyes and she just warmly smiled.

Shit… I'm falling in love with this succubus… dammit.

"Of course. My good little girl will of course be able to make requests like this because of her achievement… and when you come back from completing your mission, I might even just give you an even better reward… Do you want to take a bath with Mistress again?" She asked and my ears perked up.

"I-I can?"

"Of course… anything for my cute little birdy," Mistress said, and I couldn't help but shiver from her words.

…

Only a few days later and I was deeper into the horrific forest where I encountered a new monster that was giving me much more trouble than before.

This thing was completely resistant to magic and physical attacks… which seems overpowered, but it does have a weakness.

[Demonic Slime]

[Due to this slime's special body, it is able to completely nullify magical attacks and prevent any physical attacks from penetrating its body. But, it is extremely weak to natural forces such as the weather, but this weather can't be created through magic.]

It was obvious what I had to do after seeing the description… just knock down a few trees on top of it.

The slime with a purple body and demonic black horns scraped a few of the tree branches way up top on the canopy.

This slime's acidic body was not its only threatening trait as it was so massive that it might've been about half the size of the trees around it.

"You're already dead though," I muttered as I finished leading it into my trap and slashed down the fragile trees.

Massive trees made of black wood and dark leaves toppled on top of the slime which seemed to look up into its impending doom.

If it was possible, I was able to see a glimpse of horror… but all of a sudden, it opened up its body into a massive wave and swallowed the few trees.

I was shocked by the sudden change in events and decided to just go all out.

I unleashed a myriad of forbidden magic attacks that tore the forest before me and it completely overwhelmed the slime.

Each time a tree fell, it swallowed it but another came crashing down onto its back, dealing large chunks of damage.

And eventually, I won.

"That's a beautiful sight," I muttered before trudging deeper into the forest, but for some reason, there was nothing else here.

Either I cleared out every single monster, or I scared off every single one of them.

But, I was more inclined to think that a top predator was here and that it definitely wasn't me.

Grrrrrr
