Epic Of Caterpillar

"W-What?!

"GUOO-"

The towers charged in the energy from the environment and me and began to shoot powerful pink-colored beams, attacking the motionless pair who seemed to not believe their eyes.

And then… Giant Demonic Arms, with their hands possessing large Jaws, attacked them from behind, as well as a giant phantasmagoric demon head over me, which started to shoot black-colored rays.

In less than a few seconds they were surrounded by a giant arsenal of long-distance attacks that they couldn't easily evade due to the speed of their blasts.

Their flesh began to crumble, and even when they cast defense shields and magical barriers, they were crushed and shattered.

A beautiful giantess with copper-colored skin, sturdy muscles, and a long golden hair that seemed to be made entirely of thunder appeared, alongside a giant Lamia lady, with overwhelming poisonous pressure.

Massive multi-colored Claymores which were covered in an eerie shadow and enhanced by it closed in by all sides, surrounding them.

Countless Lightning Shocks started to rain from the sky, even if there wasn't any sky in this place, the lightning was painted in red, and when they hit their targets, the leftover energy transformed into lightning bats, who then exploded to generate even more damage.

As if things were unfair enough, I released countless Chaos-Attribute Spheres of the size of watermelons, alongside a storm of magic, which Brontes used to enhance her giant club, which changed size with herself, smashing the Vampires from all sides.

"W-WHAT?! F-From where did you come out with all of that power?! GYAAAAAAHHH…!"

"GUOOOONN…!"

"What? Did you really think that we would hold back and see how capable you were? That's too risky…"

As I said these words, a giant mass of demon hands, jaws, and tentacles, which I had merged with my own body and Aura appeared behind the Vampires, the eldritch-looking monster began to devour the Vampires as they received long-ranged attacks from all sides, in a colorful spectacle.

"GYAAAAAH…! N-NO…! D-DEMON EYES OF HELL! DEMON EYES OF HELLL!!!" the little Vampire shouted, as her golden eyes shined brightly, releasing hellish black flames that started to burn the monster I just created.

"Hmph, even when going all out, you still got that strength, it was a good decision to not wait for you to do a move"

Although overwhelmed and smashed from all sides, the now giant Ogre Vampire used its amazing regeneration to make new arms and claws, intercepting Brontes and Nesiphae's large bodies, the shields that covered their bodies immediately began to set their effects, protecting them.

"Quite resilient, aren't you?!" Shouted Brontes, as she used her lightning powers to enhance her muscles, smashing the head of the Ogre with her bare hands, punching it until it vomited blood, and then, she grabbed her club and began to pulverize the head with powerful blows, even the scales and horns protecting it started to shatter.

"I can't wait to skewer your flesh, so please, just die!" said Nesiphae with a maniac smile, as she used her ax to chop off the Ogre's arms one by one as they regenerated, while using her mist to infest the wounds, making the giant struggle, barely having any time to retaliate, they were just mowing him down without it offering any resistance as they were too overwhelmingly strong.

The little Vampire yelled in pain as she called for her companion while using her long purple hair to barely defend herself from our onslaught. The pink beams of my charming towers coupled with the dark all-corroding beams of my Abyss Demon Head were strong enough to make her Divine Energy-enhanced hair burn down, however, it regenerated not long after.

"DEMON EYES OF HELL! DEMON EYES OF HELL! WHY IS IT BARELY DOING ANY DAMAGE?! ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE BURNING INTO ASHES BY NOW!!!" shouted the little Vampire hysterically, she was already losing all of her hope.

It seems that my armor-covered flesh, which I fused with the Abyss Demon Arms and my Abyss Body Venomous Tentacles to form the eldritch abomination-like extension of my body wasn't receiving the full damage of the Demon Eyes of Hell even if it was powered by Divine Energy, most probably because I was already immune to fire.

If Divine Energy was added to it, it would of course surpass my immunity, but the immunity would simply become a high resistance then, and it was enough to hold in the little Vampires power with ease.

"T-These tentacles keep regenerating and regenerating! GYAAAH! A-A SWORD?!"

The Little Vampire was then impaled alive by five swords, which then detonate by Rimuru and Zehe's command.

"Explode!"

BOOM!

The flesh of the little girl was torn off apart piece by piece as her bloody torso and head remained, by using her high vitality as a Vampire, she quickly regenerated new limbs, but she seemed incredibly exhausted.

ZAP!

"…A-Another thing?!"

ZAP!

Crimson Lightning showered her as she was being constantly roasted alive by Alice's lightning, she healed back every time, but a new lightning shock came by.

By using half of my body which had transformed into an abomination, I released countless of techniques from the monster tentacles and claws, gushing on the little Vampire's body, pieces of her flesh flew away as she desperately regenerated back… it seems that just like Castien, these Vampires after using their Divine Energy Skill, will have ridiculous regeneration abilities, similar to mine at some extent…

Rimuru, Zehe, and Alice gathered together as they used their magic in combination, generating a giant Magic Cannon, that launched powerful beams towards the Vampire, her body was blasted into pieces' countless times, by their magic and by my own techniques, body, and magic as well.

By using my Aura to devour her Soul she grew increasingly weaker, and slowly began to slow down…

"GAAAAAAAH…! DE-DEMON… EYES OF…. GUGYAAAHHH…!"

Seeing the moment of weakness, fused with the rest of my giant monster body, and captured her inside of my body, crushing her into pieces and devouring her with my [Devour] and countless of other Skills to increase digestion.

Crunch!

"GGRAAGRAGAAAAHH…!"

Crunch…!

At the same time, the resilient Ogre saw the death of the little Vampire and shouted in anger, but was quickly sliced countless times by Nesiphae and pulverized by Brontes, without letting it move, by now, even with all of its amazing vitality, it was just a mush of minced meat that could barely move… it even resembled a slime, every time it tried to form arms or legs, they would get destroyed, burned and sliced.

"Unlike the little girl, this one doesn't die…" Said Brontes, admiring the pile of sentient mush.

"The way I killed her and the previous Vampire was by damaging their Souls with my Aura… Let me do the same here…" I said, still in my grotesque giant monster form, extending my tentacles and transforming them into a phantom, and by using the spell [Soul Devour] and my Aura, the resilient and large soul of the Ogre started to die down, until I devoured it entirely. It was very fulfilling.

"Aaah… that was good…"

"They were surprisingly resilient, just as you said Big sis" (Brontes)

"Indeed, I couldn't believe that something would ever withstand Master's attacks… but there are such things outside…" (Nesiphae)

"The outside world is filled with Dangers; it is a good thing that Honey is very cautious~" (Zehe)

"Masta, can I ride you?" (Rimuru)

"No, Master, please, let me ride you instead!" (Alice)

"Um, are you all not scared by this form?" I asked.

My wives looked at each other and then at me.

"No, why?" They said, at the same time…

"Never mind…"

The moment the little Vampire died, her domain disappeared, but I used my own Aura to keep us enclosed as we devoured the leftover flesh of the two Vampires. In the pile of minced meat from the Ogre, I discovered small artifacts that seemed to be incrusted on its body, they were increasing its vitality, self-regeneration, and other stats…

So it isn't only the Divine Energy but these jewel-like artifacts inside of their bodies, is this what their leader gave to them to kill me off? How could they know so fast? That Goddess of Blood seems to have an insider in Morpheus's group.

The battle was over outside, Ogamocles party managed to defeat the Vampires coupled with the help of the Centaur Twins, my wives, Nefertiti and Nixephine, saved the Resistance Base, although a lot of the members were already slaughtered.

[Kireina gained +120 Blood Strength, +50 Strength, and +20 Defense!]

[Calculating EXP gained…]

[Kireina] gained 12.483.557.000 EXP!]

[LEVEL 064/250 EXP 32.441.263.864/38.300.000.000]

[Kireina] learned the following Skills]

[Phantasmagoric Puppet Thread Arts; Level 1]

[Eyes Transformation; Divine Scarlet Inferno Basilisk's Demon Eyes of Hell]

[Skin Transformation; Divine Bloodthirsty Crystal Dragon's Crimson Scales and Horns]

The other artifacts seemed to have been lost around the piles of flesh and snow, but I set my Slimes to find anything that could seem strange…

Ah, I had to quickly go back to my fairy form before the centaurs were to see me, but the recently converted Vampires caught a glance of me and praised me as a Demon or Evil Goddess.

I never got to know the name of the young Vampire, but I made sure to capture some of the Vampires that worked for this group alive, so, after having some dinner with the resistance after they mourned the death of their comrades, I began forced interrogations with my Mirage Magic.

After an hour and a half of interrogations, we found out that there are possibly five more individuals with these strange Divine Energy powers, which seem to come from Divine Beasts given to them by the Vampire Family Head, Aleksandra.

However, the powers that they have are a mystery. I've tried to use these abilities but it seems that I require Divine Energy to do so and because my body cannot produce or store it, but just eat it and assimilate it into Life and Magic Energy, I don't have any option but leave these Skills aside for the moment, I cannot fuse them either.

The night approached, and Agamocles recommended us to rest for the night while remaining cautious. To be honest, only them needed to rest, not us, for a moment I thought about rushing into the Vampires and be done with this, but I was rather interested in the course of actions.

If the King were to get captured or killed, I could rescue him from the Vampires and be seen as a Heroine, facilitating the invasion and conversion of Cilane into my Vassal Nation. There is also the upcoming Thanatos Kingdom Army, which I'm interested in, there could be some appetizers here and there.

And the Vampires killing the Resistance bases… was beneficial to me, as if the majority of these guys were out of the way, I would have an easier time conquering this Kingdom as my own, without any of these old knights and nobles questioning me.

These Vampire's movements are erratic, or so it seems to the Centaurs, but in fact, they are targeting me, baiting me into situations so they can trap and kill me with the powers bestowed to them by their Family Head.

If I'm as cautious as today, things should go according to how I've planned them, but still, I've decided to send even more of my flesh bats, transformed into ghosts to scout the nearby areas, some Vampires were lurking around, but they seemed to only be spying on from a large distance.

Due to the battle of today, Wall, who helped me out with her strength while being equipped inside of me, gained enough Experience to evolve. This Wall is just a Golem Clone, but it was strong enough to evolve on its own and perhaps diverge from its original form.

She evolved into a High Synthetic Golem, and her appearance mostly remained the same, however, she gained a small dark horn in her forehead and two more in her shoulders. Her stats, aside from the Defensive stats, almost didn't change. With her help, my armor can become even sturdier and powerful.

Mao seemed to have a slight rivalry with Wall, both had similar appearances outside of Mao's lion ears, paws, and tail, but Wall was stronger. Mao desired to evolve further to surpass her, but due to the forced evolution, she needs a large number of Experience Points to evolve again… At the very least, she was allowed to cuddle with me.

This night, I slept with most of my wives, while Rimuru alongside the converted Vampires decided to guard outside while drinking the blood of the defeated Vampires and eating their flesh to gain more Skills. Their loyalty seems to have increased even more, and Cassandra is always telling me how much she loves me…
