Epic Of Caterpillar

Not only Invidia was an incredibly powerful sword if what he talked about draining the energy and powers of his wielders was true, but he's also an Ego Weapon! He spoke about the ancient Vampire Emperor using the Soul-Ego-Forging "Technique" to create an Ego by sacrificing one million demon souls… I guess he was able to create something this strong with measly mortal souls after putting up a million of them. Not only he had grown over hundreds if not thousands of years, but he also holds the power of previous Human Emperors which he had stolen their powers and devoured their souls over time.

But there is still something weird about this, no matter how much I try, I can't seem to be able to find this guy as strong as he speaks to be. Has he grown weaker over time, or did the Emperor did something to him when he parasitized him and gave him a Demon Vampire body? Maybe my own attacks weakened him, after all, he was bathed in my powerful blows until he was forced to retreat!

There's no way this guy is as strong as he says, he's probably bluffing.

But I can't lower my guard either.

"By the power of the Demon King I was given the Title of Demon Lord of Envy, quite fitting, isn't it?! I hold the power of the Sin of Envy within me which my powerful Soul Book has developed! Do you truly believe you have a chance against me? You're strong, bug. Why don't you join the demons? Leave these weak elves aside and join us! The Demon King is someone with an open mind, as long as you show your allegiance, he'll let you become part of his army! You could even become a Demon Lord as well!"

The Demon Sword spoke pridefully as he tried to recruit me. Wow, I never thought he would be as dumb as asking me something like that! Doesn't he realize that's something that's not happening, right? No way I am leaving that dumb girl of Elfina alone for now, she's going to end up killing herself without me at her side.

"Wow, that sounds actually pretty reasonable." I said.

Several hundreds of kilometers away, I heard the shocked gasp of Elfina and the elves who were all hearing our conversation. The damn sword spoke terribly loudly, as if he was telling everything that he was here, talking about his evil plans.

"Gasp…! Kireina! How could you?!" Cried Elfina. "A-And where's Sol?!" Elfina began to cry while Floresse looked at me while gritting her teeth.

"Kireina, what sort of nonsense are you talking about?!" Luminous spoke.

"Don't you realize? This guy's super strong. there's no way I am winning, I am just going to switch sides now. It is better for me, after all I don't really care about any of you, you're all just trash. I am going back home, all of you… you're nothing but mobs I found along the way. Do you even think I'll even miss you?" I laughed.  "Oh, and about Sol? Well, when he went unconscious after battling the Emperor… I ate him!" I laughed.

"WHAT?!"

Everyone cried in shock, even hundreds of elven soldiers.

"K-Kireina…! Y-You're joking, right?" Elfina asked.

"No. Where do you think he went? He was pretty tasty. I got a lot of power out of him!" I laughed.

Invidia already seemed pleased, the Dark Aura he emanated, which was infused with Chaos and Blood Attributes began to grow and shape into an enormous demon with various eyes across his body, made mostly out of this black fog, with vampiric wings, horns, and a malicious smirk.

"Bwahahaha! You're as smart as I thought, Kireina! You'll be a fine addition to the Demon King's army! A monster so powerful as you is being wasted serving the pitiful tree-dwellers!" Laughed Invidia, as he seemed completely pleased.

I slowly moved to his way, showing that I've switched sides.

"T-This is a joke; Kireina must be simply trying to make the sword lower his guard…!" Luminous said.

"Hahaha… Not at all, you dumbasses!" I laughed. I loaded the power of Chaos Beam into my insectoid claws, and then, fired an enormous blast of chaos against them.

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

"Ngh…?! What are you doing?!"

Luminous roared angrily, protecting the Elves as he generated an enormous barrier of divine power, but my chaos beam was enormously strong, and as it had the chaos attribute, it began to devour the barrier's structure, easily cracking it slowly.

"D-Damn it! I should had never trusted you!" Luminous roared furiously, unleashing several more barriers as several of them shattered until the last one, my beam reached the elven walls, shattering them and opening an enormous hole.

BOOOOMMM…!

"R-Run!"

Elfina cried quickly commanding the guards with them to run as the walls started to quickly crumble apart, the elves ran away as fast as possible, while I looked at the chaos with a smirk.

"Is this enough proof?" I asked slightly cockily.

"Yes… It is more than enough proof." Laughed Invidia. "Now slay, them to show your loyalty!"

"Yes, Lord Invidia!" I said while laughing maliciously.

I attempted to fly but suddenly stopped, feeling weakened.

"Ugh, my MP is down…" I sighed.

"Hm?! Your MP?" He asked.

"Can I request your aid?" I asked.

"Hmph, very well, you may wield my power!" He said, as he let me touch the center of his demonic body with my divine aura.

"Thank you so much!" I said with fascination.

"It is nothing…! Now that we are partners, let's slay them and bathe in their blood- NGH?!"

Suddenly, Invidia gave out a loud cry of pain, as if something was suddenly hurting him all from the depths of his body!

"Thank you so much for being such a dumbass!" I laughed.

"W-What are you doing?!" Invidia immediately grew in despair.

I began using my Divine Aura and Phantasmal Aura in combination with my very soul, which I've earned the power of fusing with both auras, combining it with Health and Mana Drain to drain away Invidia's powers the moment I touched him, grasping his enormous Soul!

FLUOOOSH!

"A-AGGH…! L-Let me go! You trickster!"

"Nope!"
