Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1649

It has only been thirty minutes since their hunt began and they had already destroyed over half the Lesser Bone Dragons sent from within the mines towards the village of giants to destroy it. The culprit behind this, the mysterious woman wearing black armor looked into the mountains from below in silence, her staff overflowing with darkness. She seemed to be lost in words, as she had half her army of Summoned Undead completely decimated faster than she could had ever expected.

"A hundred gone… so fast…" She muttered furiously.

However, there were a bit less than a hundred more Lesser Bone Dragons left, and thanks to the near limitless amount of materials here as the entire mountains were made of bones, she could use such materials to raise more and more Lesser Bone Dragons… However, her Mana had already reached her limit.

"This big one will destroy you… for sure…" She said with a smile, giggling diabolically, as she quickly conjured a black hole behind her and disappeared from the scene.

Meanwhile, Kireina and company confronted almost a hundred more Lesser Bone Dragons, desperately fighting by unleashing all sorts of attacks and magic spells. Kireina as pretty much the reason why everyone could fight for so long, thanks to her Mana Drain, she was able to drain Mana from the foes she hurt and then redistribute this Mana with everyone. The more Monsters she fought, the more Mana she got in exchange.

Like this, Kireina was constantly generating more Mana for everyone to use and fight, not only her ego weapons and her only active summon, Colora, but also the rest of her party, Luminous, Fiere, and Sol were receiving her Mana in large quantities. And now, Brunhild felt like she had exhausted all her Mana just when an enormous monster appeared, which the mysterious black armored woman had created by combining a dozen Lesser Bone Dragons and fusing them with Necromancy powers.

"GRUOOOOOHHHHHH…!"

The enormous Boss Monster approached, as Brunhild grew more nervous.

"Here, don't sweat it kid, we fought a Giant Bone Dragon before, this thing… whatever it is, will fall today." Kireina said with a valiant voice, quickly imbuing Mana into the fearful Brunhild, her exhaustion was gone in an instant.

"So much Mana…" She said. "I feel so revitalized!"

"Indeed, this way I keep my whole party fighting for a while. I am your walking Mana Potion." Laughed Kireina.

TRUUM…!

TRUUM…!

TRUUM…!

The enormous footsteps of the gigantic Behemoth Bone Dragon continued to resonate across the mines, shaking everything. However, its steps were slow, as it took some time to reach up to where everybody was. Kireina and everyone else quickly realized that it would certainly be a problem if this Boss got to where they are while they're still fighting the smaller ones.

"Let's quickly destroy the Lesser Bone Dragons before the Behemoth gets here!" Luminous roared, as he unleashed a barrage of slashing attacks using his dragon claws by infusing them with holy light. The slashing attacks generated sharp blade-shaped aura attacks which quickly began to slice through the Bone Dragons one after the other, slicing them into pieces until their cores were damage, as they became unable to walk and were destroyed in the spot.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! CLAAASH!

"And that's not all…!" Luminous roared, gathering his Mana into his throat as he quickly unleashed a powerful Holy Dragon Breath Attack, resembling a deadly and all-consuming beam of holy light!

FLAAAAASSSSSHHH!!!

The powerful beam consumed everything within Luminous' range, as ten, twenty, and even thirty Lesser Bone Dragons were all vaporized! Even more, the beam reached the Behemoth Bone Dragon, impacting one of its large legs and making it crumble into pieces!

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

"GRUOOHHHH…!"

Luminous gasped for air, kneeling in the floor. He had over exceeded his own limitations and broken everything he had thought possible to unleash his strongest attack so far. Kireina immediately noticed a hint of Dao Essence within his Dragon Breath. Luminous was progressing at a steady pace towards become more like the Old Gods of this world!

"Hahhh… I've really done it… Ugh. I have not rested at all since we fought the other Bone Dragon from before, I need to take a small nap after this." Luminous quickly got up again as Kireina infused Mana into him. His throat was too sure to be used for a bit, but he supported everyone with light and holy magic, barriers, and healing too.

"Excellent job, Luminous!" Sol praised the dragon, as he immediately jumped into the frontlines. "Brunhild, Fiere, cover me! I'll get in the middle of everything! Kireina, send me some help too."

"You're a bit too reckless today, Sol, but sure." Kireina said with a smile, as she sent her ego weapons and Colora to support Sol, while Brunhild and Fiere unleashed their magic to distract the Lesser Bone Dragons as Sol constantly unleashed powerful blade techniques and magic spells one after the other.

"Sunlight Sword Arts: Sunlight Blade Slash! Divine Explosion!"

Sol roared ferociously, swinging his sword as it grew in size and was covered by large quantities of flames, slashing through foes with ease one after the other, cutting them into pieces as they exploded afterwards, generating chain explosions that dealt even more damage to the surrounding foes, weakening them and making them easier for him to slice and burst!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

His reckless charge was like a tornado of flames followed by countless explosions of fire. Brunhild and Fiere supported him together, as Brunhild continued using the useful Ice Magic combined with Holy Magic to create new spells and Fiere used her arrows to generate explosions with flame dragons that coiled around foes, stopping their movements!

Meanwhile, Kireina noticed the Behemoth Bone Dragon slowly making its way towards them. They had barely managed to cut the amount of Lesser Bone Dragons in half, but at this point they'll need even more than that.

Kireina smiled as she looked at the nearby Bone Dragons, her entire body quickly shapeshifting into her giant butterfly form, covered completely in a hard, black metallic exoskeleton…

"Divine Authority: Gluttony."
