Arpious of the Planes-Chapter 399 The Empire Of The Sun Vs The Kingdom Of Demons (1)
"You can't kill me! The Queen will slaughter you if you even take part of my soul!" The man shouted, but I just smiled back with a sadistic expression. π§ππ²π¦π πππ£oπ«π²π.πoπ
"Yeah, but I can still torture youβ¦."
"Y-You sick bitch! STOP! STOP! STOP! STOP! AHHHHHHHH!"
And so, the war amongst this plane had begun⦠but I wasn't about to let it last that long especially when I had another war to settle in another plane.
After a few hours, I was finally satisfied and let the horrified assassin run off with his tail in between his legs.
His screams of pain were very satisfying, and I don't think he was going to mess with me any longer. ππ³π¦eπeπ―nπΌΡ΅πl.πππ
"Alright, I'm back," I said as soon as I appeared right next to Ysal, who was helping evacuate all the citizens.
Evacuating them outside the kingdom might actually be helping the enemy, but the fire had spread too far, meaning evacuation was our only option.
Staying any longer would be akin to suicide, and of course, we don't want the citizens either hating our guts or dying.
"Did you extract any information?" Ysal asks while helping pick up a baby and handing them over to their mama, who was not too far away.
Though we were evacuating everybody, there were already tons of casualties, and I'm sure there are more to come.
"I did, and it was more than enough to tell us that the other cities away from here are in danger. Others like the dude we tortured attacked,"
Ysal clicked her tongue before mulling over something, though she couldn't do that for long as she soon had to help somebody trapped underneath a roof.
The cries of help soon stopped, and just as she lifted up the roof, the corpse of a crushed man lay before her.
"Arpious! Don't you have any skills!" She shouted before covering her mouth with her hand.
She looked as if she was about to throw up, so I comforted her before breathing in a deep breath and then stomping on the ground.

Krrrkkkkkkkkk
All of a sudden, the entire city had been frosted over, leaving everything sensitive to the touch, but to my expectations, the fire came raging back.
It burned through the thin ice though I allowed most of the citizens to easily escape from some of their trapped positions.
"Dammitβ¦ Their fire is strong. Don't underestimate it just because we were able to defeat the userβ¦." I said, and Ysal quickly snapped her head towards me again.
"You didn't kill the guy?! Why didn't you kill the guy?!" Ysal shouted, frightening me a bit because she had never raised her voice before.
"I-I mean, it wouldn't have made a difference⦠The fire would've still continued to rage on," I said, and Ysal heaved a heavy breath.
"*sigh*... Alright, let's just focus on evacuating everybodyβ¦." She said before quickly dashing off into the distance, and I began to ponder whether my decision was correct.
Should I have been selfish and saved my ass just in case I was caught by the army, or should I have just continued to support Ysal?
My mind began to whirl, but I didn't have much more time to think as the fire continued to rage, so I flew up into the sky, and with the help of [Grand Mind Magic], I was able to direct Ysal in the direction of every injured or trapped civilian.

"Geez⦠Should we have saved it? Where's the empress?" I muttered, and questions continued to fill my mind like slowly rising water.

I scanned through my skills, trying to find anything that could potentially alleviate the situation, and after seeing [Apocolytpic Weather Manipulation], I knew what I had to do.
I don't know what this might do to the land after, but I do know that it at least won't be pretty.

As soon as I actuated the skill, it felt as if my mind was in the clouds, and as I began to move around my hands as if I was turning a disc, I slowly created rain.
Green rain began to pour from the sky, creating tons of smoke at first but eventually putting out all the flames that tried to push through.
My rain wasn't ordinary, allowing it to cancel out the unordinary flames as well.
After feeling my mind slowly return to me, I eventually stood up and walked over to where the empress and Ysal were sitting.
Tons of civilians had gathered around, including nobles and royals.
"We'll use the secret kingdom. It might be packed, but at least from there, we can gather our thoughts and manpower so we can fight back," The empress suggested.
Secret kingdomβ¦ interestingβ¦
After waiting for about a day, we thought we had collected everybody that needed to be collected and then set off in the opposite direction of the entrance of the kingdom.
It was away from the dark forest⦠and away from the menacing presence approaching us from very far away.
