Epic of Caterpillar

"Helios…?!"

Sol suddenly heard the voice of Helios, the powerful Divine Sword of Sunlight which has accompanied him even since his previous life, which has somehow carried over as he was summoned by Elfina, the adorable and beautiful elf girl, so innocent yet so brave, which has captivated his broken and cold heart, and ignited the flame of passion and motivated him to fight.

"You can talk?!"

"Of course I can talk, my wielder. You need a voice to guide you, and I will be that voice until you rescue your damsel, Elfina-sama."

"But I… Compared to Kireina, I am just garbage, aren't I?"

"Don't think so lowly of yourself. That woman, Kireina, trust you all. Do you truly believe she would think like this of you?"

"ROOOARRR!"

As Sol heard the voice of his sword, an enormous Mutated Wyvern emerged. He quickly unleashed an overpowering sun into the wyvern's face.

"[Overpowering Sun]!"

FLAAASH!

The enormous sphere of plasma reached the Mutated Wyvern's face, exploding and spreading a powerful shockwave as flames covered the entire monster.

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

"GROOOARRR!"

The Mutated Wyvern, however, survived his ultimate attack and boldly charged forwards! Sol gritted his teeth, wielding his sword and enchanting it with his Blazing powers.

"Trust your Soul Book Sol! Don't doubt any more. Use the power within it."

"The Soul Book…"

Sol suddenly felt inspired, as he looked into his own status and then…!

"Kireina did this as well!"

Ding!

[You have exchanged 360 Stat Points, you gained +7200 Divinity!]

[Your Divinity has surpassed 10k! Your Power has surpassed your previous life, your abilities are developing further!]

"This power…?!"

Sol had been foolishly neglecting the Soul Book because he wanted to test himself, to see how far he could go himself, like Kireina. However, he hadn't realized that such power still belonged to him. This developing Divinity… it was now something of his own power, not something borrowed.

"This power is not borrowed from anybody. Through this journey you've grown stronger by yourself, this is nobody's borrowed power, this is the developing strength you've been forging in this new life! Sol, surpass your former self, and become a new man. Someone that Elfina and your new friends can trust!"

Sol quickly realized that his sword was right. He had been this entire time foolishly chasing down his former self, hoping to become like he was before, hoping to reach the same feats he did before… but it was wrong. He had to overcome his past and use this opportunity to become a new man.

FLAAAASH!

Suddenly, he felt within his very self a brand new and awakening Divine Power. His Divinity fully formed now as it showed its beautiful splendor, as within the core of his soul, a sphere gathering the primordial laws of fire and light was born, a Developing Dao!

"This is Divine Power… a Divinity?!" He wondered.

"You've possessed it for a while." Helios answered. "However, what's new is this!"

TRUUUUUMMM…!

A primordial power surpassing divinities surged from within Sol's soul and body, blazing with enormous power. This was a Dao that perhaps Kireina might know as she had developed it through her Overpowering Sun Path Jewel, but that Sol held within his own soul from the beginning…

"The Dao of Nova…!"

"ROOOARRR!"

As the Mutant Wyvern approached, Sol looked at the beast in front of him, surpassing him hundreds of times his size, yet he looked at it fearlessly!

A Divine Aura and a Dao Aura surged from his body, protecting him like divine armor as a part of it reached his Divine Sword which was also an Ego. Much like he saw Kireina doing, he also combined his Skills, Magic, and Daos with his divine blade, unleashing a truly frightening attack!

"Divine Sun Sword Arts: [Nova Tempest]!"

FLUOOOOSSSSSHHH!

Plasma surged from his blade as Sol unleashed a truly frightening attack! A gigantic slicing attack, a blazing slash, impacted the Mutant Wyvern face!

SLAAAASSSSHHHH!!!

The slash easily sliced the monster in half, as the flames spread through the two halves, making them combust in mere seconds, exploding on the spot!

BOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

"Hahhh…! T-This power… Amazing." Sol felt amazed with himself. But he didn't let the power get to his head, quickly confronting more Mutant Wyverns at once while assisting everyone else. He had to do his part; Kireina actually needed everyone's help.

Meanwhile, Fiere continued shooting her arrows at the monsters. The Mutant Wyverns were actually very fierce and resilient, how would her magic fire arrows even do any damage at all to begin with? Well, she came out with great solutions, attacking weak spots.

The wyverns were covered on hard, magic-reflecting scales; however, they were wide open with weak spots. One big one was their big, red eyes. And as a sniper such as herself, who was raised from a young age to be Elfina's maid, guardian, and a competent magician and archer, she was the one with the best accuracy in the entire party here.

And especially since she had been pouring every single stat point she has into Divinity as Kireina told her, a new stat that has showed up in her status some days ago after she leveled up a lot. Her soul and her body had been developing. Her fire magic now had a golden and bright glistening glow to it, and his techniques were deadlier and more precise…

And within her soul, there was also something developing, the power of a Dao Fragment, one that seemed to be related not with her element in particular, but with her greatest talent, Archery!

"Divine Blazing Dragon Bow Arts: [Hydra Dragon Arrow]!"

The Dao Fragment within her pulsated with power, reaching her weapon in an instant as her arrow flashed through the skies, reaching the Mutated Wyvern that the twins Desert Elves were fighting with the power of their Desert Spirits!

CLAAASH!

The arrow easily pierced the soft red eye of the Mutant Wyvern, and then…

FLUOOOSSSH!

An enormous dragon made of fire with countless heads attacked it, biting the eye, burning it, and tearing it apart and ultimately exploding, all in just less than ten seconds!

BOOOOOOOMMM!!!

"GRYYYARRRRHHHH…!"

The Mutated Wyvern cried in agony, falling from the skies.

Fiere smiled, her sharp eyes only become sharper as she continued firing more and more arrows at the eyes of the Mutated Wyverns, most of the time they even survived that! But without their eyes, they became easier prey for his allies to take care of.

However, the Wyverns had a leader, a powerful Evil Dragon looked from the skies, the boost of Miasma completely turning him into a monstrous being shrouded on black clouds… He looked down at Luminous with a menacing glare.

It had found a complete opposite of himself, and it had to slay it!

A natural rivalry between dragons surged from within the Wyvern's King prideful heart.

And to make things worse, Luminous was already dealing with problems of his own, as his own soul was constantly expanding and something within its core was awakening, causing him discomfort and even pain.

"Uungh…! T-This is… What the heck is this?!"

"ROOOOARRRR!"

The tyrannical roar of the Evil Abyssal Shadow Dragon, the evolved form of the Abyssal Shadow Black Wyverns echoed across the skies, as Luminous noticed his new archnemesis fly down directly towards him, ignoring Kireina, a greater threat!

FLAAASH!

"Damn it!"

Luminous had no choice but to confront him, as both dragons clashed against one another!

CLAAAAASSSHH!!!
