Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1464

Right after I got Health Drain, I ran through the soldiers of Avarice at rapid speed! I began slaughtering them like flies without any problem, how easy it was to crush the weak, it made me joyful, even! Maybe it was because these guys deserved it? Anyways, It felt really nice to me. Oh, it is the warmth of recovering HP that felt nice, not the slaughter…

"YOU!!!"

Avarice was getting closer as he grew more furious about how I was ruining all of his stupid plans with my amazing caterpillar power. I was spreading the flames of purification all across the battlefield while crushing his stupid minions a hundred at a time. I felt the EXP flowing through me as well, but I kept it saved to get a nice bonus when I release it all and level up. This was some sort of special function this Soul Book system thingy had, which was amazingly perfect for someone like me that slaughters hundreds when given the chance!

While flying across the skies using [Telekinesis], [Roll], [Purification] and [Fireball] all at the same time, I looked down at what Luminous was doing. There were a few hundred of minions from Avarice that were actually rushing down into the city, so I wasn't truly able to stop them all. He had brought around ten thousand with him, enough to put this entire city into ruins. However, by now I've already killed at the very least like a thousand of these bastards.

Nonetheless, I had to assist him. He was actually midway through purifying everyone in the city, but the soldiers were pestering him and trying to stop him, all while trying to spread more darkness. So I decided to leave White and Black with Luminous, and even summoned an army of fifty very strong disposable Chaotic Beasts to aid him!

"Go help him!" I said, as the army led by White and Black flew down. Avarice tried to stop them with an enormous sphere of darkness though.

"Oh no, you're not going to do that!" He laughed. "Dark Sun- UUAGGH!"

CLAAAAASH!

However, I moved faster than his thought process and hit him with everything I had! I had discovered before, everyone in this world thought very slowly for some reason, so I was able to easily calculate things and move even faster because I reacted quickly and took decisions almost instantaneously.

"AAAGH!" Avarice cried in agony; his entire face distorted. He looked at me as if thunder was coming out of his eyes. He angrily screamed at me, swinging his long tail, furiously hitting me constantly with a barrage of attacks that looked like whips covered in darkness, each hit hurt more than the previous one, this guy was intense when he truly was pissed!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Y-You damn bug…! You think you stand a chance?! I have absorbed a large quantity of the two Elf Rulers power…! I have near endless Mana at this point, hahahaha!" He laughed, fueling his entire body with mana that boosted the strength of his entire body both physically and magically!

I unleashed the power of Harden multiple times while resisting his onslaught of attacks and building up momentum by pushing forward with my own body through Roll and Telekinesis! I then used Mighty Caterpillar Bite and crunched through his damn chest, tearing apart his clothes and then realizing he also had a black crystal on his chest, emanating a strong black aura from within!

CRUNCH!

I, of course, gave it a little nibble!

"UUGH!"

Avarice gritted his teeth, completely surprised that I was actually just tanking his hits through my combination of Harden and Health Drain. I was constantly dealing damage to him through my Fire and Purification combination covering my body, all while I used Rolling, Telekinesis, and Spike Attack in combination to roll at incredible speeds against his strongest blows all while piercing him with my sharp spikes. All of that was even more combined with the power of the Holy Flames, which burned and dissipated through his darkness.

And to boot, this dark crystal in his chest was important, the moment I bite it and managed to crunch a piece and eat it, I felt the darkness quickly trying to take over me! …But failing miserably at that! And all of that while I was tanking his hits like there was not tomorrow, although the amount of HP I could drain was not really enough, and my HP was going down slowly, but still going down!

Ding!

[You have reached the required Skill Proficiency]

[You learned the [Strike Damage Resistance: Lv1] Skill!]

[You learned the [Darkness Resistance: Lv1] Skill!]

Ohh! Just in time while I was taking a beating, I acquired two Resistance Skills! I guess it was about time, I had ignored them for a while in the Library mostly because the cheapest was like 60 Skill Points. But this method of just tanking hits and then gaining the Skills is way more satisfying in the long run.

The moment I gained both Skills, Avarice's punches and his darkness became weaker, and I could continue to push through his chest, attempting to bite him again! However, he quickly decided to go for more complicated magic. This entire tanking session took seconds, so it wasn't as if there was a lot of time of him just punching me!

"You damn…! DARK SUN!"

FLUOOOOSSH!

Avarice smiled cockily back at me, as he conjured a giant sun made of blazing black flames, and he threw it directly at me! I wasn't able to evade because I was literally in front of him. So the only thing I could do was coat myself in my expensive Mana-wise Divine Aura and resist the blow with everything I had, while using Telekinesis and Roll to push through and reach him!

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

I was engulfed in the burning flames, which began to burn through my entire metallic body. The intensity of these black flames were melting my cocoon, and boiling my soft, juicy interior!

Resist… resist!

"GYAHAHAA! BURN… BURN TO ASHES!"
