Chapter 143: First Horseman of the Apocolypse
After explaining the basis of all planes, Infernum and Caelum, I sunk in my chair. My eyes scanned my wives, who seemed stunned but also quite intrigued at the same time. Kumo seemed to be in deep thought, Homura couldn't hide her excitement, and Aika's smile was wide.
"You get it now…."
"Yeah,"
"Ye,"
"I think so,"
"Thank god! How many times did it take me to explain everything!"
"F-four times," Kumo stutters, avoiding eye contact with me.
Did I mention I had to explain it four times… FOUR TIMES!
"I-It's alright, calm down. We get it now," Homura says.
"Yeah, it was sort of hard to wrap our heads around it. The concept of a different world or "Planes" as you had explained is kind of… yeah, hard to understand," Aika says.
I guess it was much easier for me to understand since I have a lot of knowledge from my past life, but it didn't seem that hard to comprehend… Oh, is that Zehar?
I turn around and see a man exactly 6 feet approaching the dinner table. He had long, wavy dark purple hair with dull dark purple eyes. Flush white skin, and his physique wasn't bad. He had some muscle, but he wasn't jacked like Akito, Aiso, or Akio.
He was extraordinarily handsome and almost looked feminine. He could've easily passed off as a model back on earth.
"Maids, let him in," I say, seeing my maids stopping Zehar.
"As you wish," the two maids say, stepping to the side with a slight glare directed at Zehar.
Zehar ignored them and walked towards me. He seemed bored, extremely bored. That's probably the reason why he came back… there was nothing else that posed a challenge to him. Just like me, he had indeed become a monster.
"Well, what do you want?"

…
"I wiped out my biome. I've been fighting my summons… can I get something interesting to fight," Zehar says.
"Have some breakfast first," I say, gesturing for him to sit down.
"Whatever,"
Zehar sits on the chair next to me and grabs a slab of meat. He scarfs it down, but his expression didn't change in the slightest.
A horseman of the apocalypse, huh? That's interesting… Maybe I could try and create all of them for myself…
"Who the hell is this kid?" Kumo asks, crossing her arms.
"You don't recognize him?"
"What, why would I know him- Oh, is this the depressed kid?" Kumo asks.
"Yeah, he turned into a respectable man,"
"Oh, Bran?" Homura asks.
"Yeah," Zehar replies bluntly.
"You know his name?" I ask.
"Of course, though that was the only word he said to us during the entirety of us being together," Homura says.
"Yeah, he was pretty boring, but it seems we can now hold a conversation with him… What's your favorite food?" Kumo asks.
"Uhhhhhh… probably the Poison Fang Eagle inside the [Forest of Poison]," Zehar responds.
"Oh, you know the name of the species?" Kumo asks.
"Yeah, I dropped by the adventurers guild, so I was able to learn every monster there easily. They also gave me an automatic Diamond Rank. Here's my badge for proof,"
Zehar pulls out a diamond-encrusted badge. It was in the shape of a rhombus, and on it, it said "Zehar."
"May I have the honor of sparring you, master?" Zehar asks.
Formality?
"How about you try fighting us first before you give Arpious a shot," Aika says, smirking at Zehar's blatant overconfidence.
"Why should I fight you old hags. The only one who I know will pose a challenge for me will be my master,"
"Have you sparred Akito?" I ask.
"Whos Akito?"
I see…
"If you can beat my wives in a sparring match back to back, I'll let you spar me. But if you don't, then you'll have to try another time," I say.
"... Fine," Zehar says, placing down the fork and getting out of his chair.
"First of all, didn't I tell you to only hunt within the [Forest of Poison]? What's all this about, a new biome being created within the [Waterfall Hills]?" I ask, a fake smile plastered on my face.
"Psh, none of those monsters were worth anything, and the monsters within the [Waterfall Hills] are much stronger," Zehar says.
[True Queen Overlords Dominating Presence]
"Don't test me. Remember to know your place. I'm nice to most of the servants I've taken a liking to since the beginning… but you're pushing it," I say, an unknown pressure weighing on everybody in the room.
My wives seemed completely unaffected, but Zehar and the rest of the maids had dropped to their knees, sweating bullets. Zehar turned his head towards me and saw my cold eyes that gave off a slight yellow and black glow.
"If you can't withstand this, then you have no chance of beating us in a spar," Aika says.
"Arpious, your mood changes fast. One moment you were slightly annoyed, but now you seem like you want to kill him," Homura says.
"I mean, it's been a common thing since way back when I first met her," Kumo says, leaning back in her chair.
"How about you go practice in the Arena of Twilight to get some experience with fighting humanoid monsters," I say, releasing [True Queen Overlords Dominating Presence].
"A-as you wish," Zehar says, standing up and walking away, teeth gritted in annoyance.
"Seems you just crushed his pride," Aika says.
"It was necessary since that useless arrogance will get him killed. He's probably never felt fear in his life until now, so that reaction was expected," I say.
"Well, Kumo and I are heading out now. What are you two doing?" Homura asks.
"Probably going to try and start my own company. Maybe a training service for the kingdom," Aika responds.
"I don't know, I was planning on going hunting in the new biome Zehar created, but I don't know when Yin is coming back… If there is important news and I'm not present, something terrible could befall the kingdom. Though, there are my lovely wives… How about I help you girls out," I say while getting out of my seat.
Me, Kumo, and Homura split ways with Aika as soon as we left the castle. Kumo clings onto my arm as she directs us in the direction of the crazy lady that's been trying to fuse children.
"Ah, we're finally here," Kumo says, letting go of my arm and looking at a pretty run-down house.
It looked as if it had imploded from the inside. The roof was falling apart, and the walls looked like something had been clawing at it.
"Arpious, can I look at your status for a second?" Kumo asks.
"Sure,"
