Arpious of the Planes

[Day 14]

Today I woke up with Kumo and Homura not next to me.

"Did they not come back last night?"

A worried feeling started to rise inside of me.

"Master, Miss Kumo and Miss Homura are outside having breakfast," said Aika.

I ran out of the cave without changing and I saw them eating from the pile of raw meat hunted this morning. I immediately felt relieved by just the sight of them.

It seems they both have gotten stronger and Homura is about to evolve.

I nod my head in satisfaction and head back inside my home to get changed. My maids help me change out of my nightgown and showed me a new dress with long sleeves and streaks of yellow just like in my hair. But before they put it one of my maids fastens my bra on and I put on my underwear myself. They felt much more comfortable than yesterday... I mean all of the clothes' quality felt so much better, almost like silk.

"It seems like Aimi has been doing a good job. Aika! Tell her I said that she's doing well,"

"Yes, master," responds Aika.

After putting on my clothes I make my way outside to talk to my servants about their mini-adventure yesterday. Since Kumo and Homura didn't have hands they weren't eating cooked food on a plate, they also prefer to eat raw meat overcooked meat as well. As I was getting close they noticed me and called out to me.

"Good morning," they said in unison.

I sat down next to them while they were eating their breakfast and I asked Aika who just came back to get some breakfast for me. They talked about how fast they are able to level up and that they encountered nothing new. Their first prey was actually an Aqua Serpent which they worked together to defeat. Kumo melted its scales while with Homura's battle she was able to slash its eyes making it go blind, which made it clean work from then on. They apparently also found a nest of Barbed Tail Bees, it was 1/3 of the size of the tree it was hanging off of. I asked Kumo a question to clarify what I was thinking about for the past 2 days as well.

"Isn't this place called [Waterfall Hills], why are their so many trees down that way, its literally a forest," I questioned Kumo.

"Oh, I thought you would already know master, that place is called the Forest of Poison. Everything in there is related to the poison of some sort," said Kumo.

I didn't respond and just made a mental note of what she said.

After finishing breakfast we went through the normal day. We checked up on the house that was just finished as well. I was impressed by how fast the builder team worked, the timber was easy to get since all they had to do was go to Aiso and get some stone axes then chop some trees down.

The home that was made could fit 1 family of 4 inside of it. It was perfect. I decided that if you wanted to furnish it you would have to wait until houses are built for everybody since we don't have anybody to actually make furniture.

It was around lunchtime that Akito came back from hunting and made a huge report. When he and his team had rendezvous they heard shouting from inside the forest so they traveled stealthily in the trees to see what was shouting. Akito had described a creature that had the appearance of a human with light brown skin and black tattoos of different patterns weaving across their body.

"why were they shouting?" I ask.

"We were unable to find out since we kept our distance while spying on them," responds Akito.

"It's alright, but which direction are they heading,"

"They were heading in this direction. if I'm correct they should arrive in about 15 minutes," says Akito.

*tsk*

I didn't think we were going to have visitors so soon.

After thinking for a bit I decide on our plan of action. I gather all of the leaders and explain how these humanoid monsters are coming in our direction, if they are hostile we kill them all or if they are passive towards us we capture them and interrogate them. Once our conference was over all of the leaders dashed towards their subordinates and assistants to give them instructions on what they should do.

After gathering all of the people that can fight in the direction of the [Forest of Poison] we waited... and waited... and waited...

"HELP US!" I hear in the direction of the forest.

I counted 35 human figures running out of the forest at a fast pace. They all either had frightened or panicked faces. Their clothes were in tatters but it seemed they weren't wearing much in the beginning. Once they got close enough I gave the signal for my subordinates to use their control to stop them in place. Their ankles were restrained with [Earth Control] by Akio which then the rest of my subordinates used [Wind Control] besides Akito to cut off their breathing causing them to pass out. The spirit elves were then sent in to retrieve their unconscious bodies.

FWOOSH

The sky suddenly turned blood red which gave off an eerie feeling. Everybody went silent and it felt like the entire world became still. Nothing made a sound, not even the wind. I was the one to break the silence and tell everybody to run inside my cave. The spirit elves carried the unconscious bodies and we all sprinted full speed into my home.

"Does anybody know what that is!?" I said once we took shelter in my cave.

Nobody said anything, they were either in shock or frightened by what just happened outside.

Damn, what is happening.

*drip*

I hear the sound of rain outside gradually growing stronger. I slowly turned around to see a horrifying sight. The sky was raining... blood. I immediately turn to one of the unconscious bodies on the ground. It was a male around 6 feet and had only pants on with black tattoos running across his chest. I use my full strength in slapping him to wake him up... nothing happened. I keep slapping him until my hand turned red.

Is he dead... FUCK! What are we supposed to do, we have no clue what is happening right now.

Before I could turn to another unconscious body Aika kicks him sending him across the cave landing with a loud boom. Every closed eye in the room suddenly went wide open.

"Cheif!" called out one of the awakened humanoid figures.

All of them suddenly rushed towards the man who got sent flying to check him. It seemed like he was important because of the way they are reacting.

"HEY RESPECT MY MASTER WHO WAS MERCIFUL ENOUGH TO SAVE YOU!" screams Aika in anger.

It wasn't necessary for her to be this mad but at least it got the attention of all the unknown humanoids.

"What are you talking about! You should be grateful that you even got the chance to lay eyes on our amazing chief! Bow down and praise our chief. We'll forgive you for committing the greatest sin of touching the chief if you kill yourself here so the chief can feast on you!" yelled back one of the men in the group.

I didn't like this. I did not like this one bit. If there was one thing that I hated the most in my past life, it would be arrogance. The arrogance of the weak that don't know their place and position. I was once weak in my previous life so I swore to become stronger by learning everything that I could and whenever I saw my past self in somebody else, I would put them in their place with intimidation.

"Shut up..."
