Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-1820

While Kireina was fighting her opponent, a lanky skeleton wearing black armor and wielding two swords had appeared before Brunhild and the twins Ariant and Eriant.

"Heh, you're not half-bad for being some cockroaches. However, now that you've been slashed, your life will soon be over."

If Kireina was here in the flesh she would had immediately recognized him as a Necrotic Death Lord, or an Overlord, depending in the ranking.

Brunhild and the twins naturally felt confused about this individual, they had no idea who the heck he was, but they were certain he was an incredibly high ranked Undead.

"W-What are you talking about- Unggh?!" Brunhild suddenly felt an enormous pain in her wound, as she vomited a mouthful of black blood. Her internal body felt as if it was slowly being melted away.

"Brunhild!" Eriant panicked.

"W-What did you do to her?!" Ariant asked.

"Necro Toxin of Divine Underworld Basilisks! Her body will rot away internally slowly and agonizingly!" Laughed the Skeleton Swordsman. "And so will you two!"

The wound inflicted into her stomach when she attacked the Necrotic Death Overlord with her magic ended becoming worse than she imagined. If it wasn't because her body was that of a resilient Giantess, she might had already fallen.

Divine Underworld Basilisks were powerful, high ranked Necrotic Beasts of the Necrotic Realm, their power was incredibly high and they occupied a high position in the food chain. Their favorite method was using their Necro Toxin to make their foes fall apart into pieces, melting even souls before devouring what was left behind.

And this particular Necrotic Death Lord loved to utilize these tricks to slay his foes. Fully knowing that he was fighting living beings this time, he quickly came with the idea of melting them from the inside out.

"Some sort of toxin?!" Ariant muttered.

"Damn it! Brunhild! Are you alright?" Eriant cried.

"E-Eriant…!" Brunhild muttered, barely keeping herself afloat using magic and the aid of the Wind Spirits.

"Ahh, it is always fun to see someone struggle until their very last moments of life! But I better hurry." Laughed the Necrotic Death Lord, encompassing himself with his unique Poisonous Netherworld Aura and rushing towards the twins, swinging both of his poisoned swords at them. "You two are next! Just stay STILL! Bahahahaha!"

"Stop! Don't come any closer!" Roared Ariant, furiously conjuring his magic as hundreds of spirits gathered together. "[Gaia's Shield]!"

FLAAAASH!

Several gigantic shields made of hardened rock, ores, and crystals emerged one after the other, as Eriant quickly helped his sister while constantly healing Brunhild to keep her alive, surrounding her with Holy Spirits.

"Rubbish!" Laughed the Necrotic Death Lord, as he swung his swords horizontally and vertically, slashing apart each Gaia's Shield in mere seconds!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAAASH! CRAAAASH!

"Gahahahah! Perish slowly, like your friend shall do!"

The laughing maniac of a Necrotic Death Lord rushed forward, the twin's incapable of conjuring enough magic as they started intercepting his blows utilizing their own scimitars, swords specifically wielded by people of the desert.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

However, the incredible physical strength, agility, and overpowered speed of the Necrotic Death Lord easily overwhelmed the two of them, who were fighting in perfect synch, and even then, were being completely destroyed.

"[Phantasmal Aura]! [Endless Death Sword Dance]!"

The Necrotic Death Lord didn't even held back, summoning his own Phantasmal Aura as it generated thousands of hands with their own phantom swords, and then attacking the twins from all sides!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!

"How much can you resist?! How much can you struggle?!" Laughed the Necrotic Death Lord.

Ariant and Eriant quickly conjured Spirit Magic while dodging and parrying blows in midair, moving around gracefully by utilizing their nimble bodies of Desert elves.

"[Spiritual Sandstorm]!" The twins synchronized their Mana into a single conjuration as a massive sandstorm suddenly emerged in front of the Necrotic Death Lord's face, blowing him away!

"Huh?!"

FLUOOOOSH!

The gigantic mass of wind and sand lifted him all the way up into the skies, as he started rotating while being slashed away by the wind and sand spirits angrily attacking him!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"Hah, so even the spirits fight for you!" He laughed. "Yet… it is useless! [Necrotic Shockwave]!"

FLAAAAAAASH!

An enormous shockwave of necrotic miasma emerged out of the skeleton's body, shaking the entire sandstorm attack, and killing all the spirits within in mere seconds, making it dissipate in an instant!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

"Not bad, not bad, but you'll need more than that to kill me, kids." He laughed. "Ah, and check your bodies, I left some gifts there…"

"Eh?!"

"Ah!"

The twins quickly realized both of them had a slash in their bodies. Ariant had one on his left arm, while Eriant had another in his left leg. They had not realized at all until now, as the venom started taking effect.

"Unnnggghh…!"

"AAAGGGH…!"

The two struggled to get a grip, the venom acting way faster than with Brunhild as it started to paralyze their internal organs and even weaken rot their own blood. Both ended beginning to vomit black blood while their eyes got red in color.

"Uugggh… Aaaggh… B-Brother…!" Ariant cried.

"T-This bastard…!" Eriant muttered. "Are we really… dying like this now?!"

"No… We won't die today! Not yet!" Brunhild roared, as she appeared behind the two. Despite the venom cursing through her veins slowly, due to her tremendous giantess body and physique, it was very slow acting on her. Nonetheless, her skin had become pale and her eyes were red, while she was bleeding black blood from her wound constantly. "Not… yet!"

"Hoh, an admirable struggle! Now that I am done, I suppose I can sit back and relax as I see you die slowly." Laughed the Necrotic Death Lord, completely carefreely.

"I won't…! I will kill you before that! I won't let you laugh at our deaths!!!" Brunhild roared, as she quickly summoned storms of lightning and winds using her magic, helping her fly and also reach the Necrotic Death Lord in a split of a second! "[Eternal Tempest]!"

FLUOOOOOSH!
