Arpious of the Planes

I created 2 nimbus clouds that floated in the palms of my hands. Just to test, I tried to create another one but nothing happened when I pictured a third nimbus cloud.

Sighing at the failure, I raised my hands into the sky which the dark grey clouds soon rose and then covered a half a mile radius. Cracks and flashes of lighting could be heard and seen in the clouds. They weren't just any thin lightning bolts that flash, these were huge and bright cracks of lightning.

Suddenly a huge lightning bolt descended, striking the tree next to me, frying it instantly. The crack once again was deafening but I didn't even flinch from it due to my [Strong Willed] title.

I closed my eyes and focused on my sensing range but only felt a few signatures that soon ran out of my sensing range.

"Guess I have to go hunting now," I muttered to myself.

…

I scrolled through my list of skills and found a skill that could help me out. I was going to try [Summon: Blood Minion] and if all goes well, I should be able to see through their eyes. Akio was able to see through his golems eyes so I should be able to do the same.

Activating [Summon: Blood Minion], I felt a cut on my finger and when I looked down, I saw my blood dripping onto the grass below me. But instead of dying the grass red, it slowly formed into a mini-me. It had everything but my clothes and instead of showing my private parts, it got rid of my nipples and my genitals.

The blood minion was about 2 inches in height. If you didn't pay close attention, then it would be almost impossible to spot it running through the grass.

The minion had a conscience but it was made to follow my orders and anybody I permit to. Almost like a smaller spirit elf but instead, they are bound to my conscience.

It was fairly easy to connect my eyesight with theirs, but my sensing range didn't move with the minion. The sensing range stayed within my original body's sensing range.

I didn't even have to use [Mind Magic] to give them the order of... whenever they find a monster, slay it with no mercy. If it is a new monster, then alert me so I can take over their eyesight to inspect it.

[800 XP gained]

[600 XP gained]

[1200 XP gained]

It didn't take long for notifications to come flooding in. This way was efficient but I didn't get any fun out of it.

A few minutes later, I received a signal from one of my blood minions signaling that they found a new monster. The only way I could describe the signal would be if somebody raised their hand inside your head and you could feel that hand being raised instead of seeing it.

I took over the blood minion's eyesight and saw that the blood minion was on a tree branch, observing the new monster below.

[Red Poison Salamander]

[This monster resides only in the [Forest of Poison] and is extremely dangerous. It is quick and nimble, allowing them to close the gap between them and you in a split second. The poison this salamander produces from its skin is very potent. It won't corrode your skin but the poison will seep into your cells killing them one by one. You won't even know what killed you since the poison also has a numbing effect.]

It was a salamander about as tall as a small boulder and about a few inches wide. It was much bigger than the ones from earth but it had one similarity. It had bright red skin with streaks of yellow indicating that it was poisonous and that nothing should fuck with it.

I ordered my minion to make a move while I continued to watch.

The blood minions hand disappeared and extended into a huge scythe that was as big as its own body. Taking quick action, it jumped down from the tree and dived headfirst towards the salamander. Raising the scythe behind its back, it then did one clean and skillful swing, that cut its head clean off.

I was shocked by how it was almost as skillful as me with a scythe.

The salamander's corpse was lying on the floor with blood gushing out of its neck. I thought it would be a waste since I haven't learned any of its skills, so I decided to test something out.

I gave the blood minion the order to walk into its pool of blood and then use my censored skill. This should work just like that time I did it when I was a feather.

[Gained the following skills]

[Poison Spit]

[Body Modification: Poison Skin]

A grin crept onto my original body without me knowing because of what just happened. With this, I could auto farm XP and skills without me doing anything or just do it on the side while I'm hunting so I don't get bored.

…

This continued for the rest of the day as I started to feel like I was completing an encyclopedia from the number of descriptions and information I'm trying to memorize.

[Gargantuan Centipede]

[This monster is slow but has an extremely overwhelming strength. Its hundreds of legs can trample you if you are not careful. Whenever it feels like it's backed against a wall and its life is threatened, it will use its pincers to slice and then eat you.]

This centipede was almost as big as the Aqua Serpent but it was much creepier. It was entirely a purplish-black besides its red pincers and eyes. The squirming sound that its legs made, sent a shiver of disgust down my spine.

[Tree Toad]

[This toad lives way up in the treetops with it rarely coming down for anything. It can hunt birds as food from far away due to its ridiculously long and sticky tongue. It mainly focuses on physical attacks using its huge webbed feet and its long tongue. Only in emergencies does it use [Forest Magic] to protect itself.]

This toad is about 5 times the normal size of a regular toad from the earth. Its feet are huge, nearly a meter wide. It was green and dark green making this thing an assassin. The camouflage and its pink sticky tongue that never misses, it's the perfect combo.

But it was no match for my blood minions who seemed to possess their sensing range that I can't use. My blood minions made quick work of the sneaky toads that started to stalk my real body.

[Poison Fang Eagle]

[This eagle makes its nest at the very tops of trees. It hunts anything they find easy to prey on which includes weaker birds. It mainly focuses on a hit and run tactic of nicking your body with their poison fangs and then flying away. When they see you start to show openings and slow down, then will they finish you off.]

To be honest, this thing was really hard to kill. I was immune to poison so its hit and run tactic was just annoying but trying to hit it was a pain in the ass. It was way smaller than your eagle from the earth, with its neon green feathers that sort of blended in with the environment, making it the most annoying opponent so far.

I was only able to kill it by using one of my new skills, [Vampiric Blood Mist]. When I activated the skill, I felt something similar to cough well up inside my throat so I opened my mouth and red mist started to leak out like cigarette smoke.

Once the eagle dived into the mist, it felt like its life force was getting sucked out. Every single eagle that flew into my mist, panicked and then dropped to the floor only to be slowly turned into a dry husk with no blood flowing through it.

[Gained the following skills]

[Body Modification: Gargantuan Centipedes Exoskeleton]

[Extend Tongue]

[Forest Magic]

[Camouflage]

[Body Modification: Poison Fangs]

[Nose Dive]

As I was checking my new skills I sensed some humanoid figures come within my sense range.

I decided to test out [Camouflage] to see how well it worked and what the humanoids looked like since none of the residents of my kingdom should be out hunting this far.

My body seemed to turn invisible but it just reflected the background behind me and turned me into the background.

"Now let's see who they are," I say while jumping onto a tree branch above me and moving my eyesight to a blood minion who was close by.
