Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-485

As the colorful trio of wolves gathered the fragments of divinities and the materialized spectral soul of Geggoron's split soul deceased vessel, another trio of demons danced through the battlefield while slaughtering monstrosities.

"Dazzling Radiant Blade Slash!"

One of the demons, nearing two meters of tallness was a beautiful woman with light chocolate skin, a strong complexion, long, silky brown hair, and dazzling golden eyes. In the middle of her forehead, she had a long unicorn-like horn made out of bright yellow jewels. Wearing bright white and gold armor alongside a long blade and a shield, she flew through the battlefield unleashing powerful blade arts. Her body was capable of flying through the sky as she had three pairs of bright wings made out of light on her back, waving through the air.

"Slashing Holy Blade! Shield of Divine Protection!"

She waved her blade skillfully as she released a slash of holy light, which pierced a giant monstrosity with the appearance of a sea urchin, with a dark exoskeleton and countless spikes around its body alongside a large crimson eye in the middle of its spherical body.

The sea urchin-like monster launched hundreds of dark spikes towards her, which she used her Holy Shield Arts to generate a barrier through her shield, protecting herself as the slash of holy light that she had just unleashed pierced the monstrosity and sliced it in half.

"Easier than fighting a Thunder Dragon Overlord, that's for sure," said the holy demon, Palami, or Titania as she was granted a 'true name' by the system. She was the leader of the demon trio group, a trio of three Half-Lord Demons that were rescued from a slave group months ago. After receiving shelter and help from Kireina, they grew exponentially stronger and developed strong bonds with the people of the Empire.

Palami accompanied Wagyu and Kekensha with her group and explored the depths of the Thunder Dragonoid Dungeon in the Vast Plains, reaching the last floor where she fought against the terrible Thunder Dragon Overlord.

After defeating it several times through abusing the respawn of the Boss, Palami evolved from a Radiant Paladin Demon Lord to a Dazzling Paladin Valkyrie Demon Lord. Her size or appearance had barely changed, but her changes were reflected in her increased stats, greater Magic capabilities, and awakened skills and powers.

She gained the 'Valkyrie' due to the wings she was capable of creating with her bright light magic, which she was now capable of creating three pairs for greater flight maneuver and speed.

As Palami glanced across the battlefield, she detected that the sea urchin-like monstrosity that she defeated was not dead yet, creating dozens of tentacles from each sliced half, it tried to attack Palami from behind.

"Grryyyaa!"

"Oh? Quite resilient, are you? Blinding Blad-"

"Blossoming Thundercloud Lotus; One Hundred Thundering Slashes!"

However, before Palami could unleash her Blade Arts, a young-looking demon seemingly in his early twenties appeared beside her, he had a slim and flexible complexion, although he was smaller than Palami. With bright yellow skin, short brown hair, and dazzling aquamarine eyes, he was an outstanding handsome young man.

In the middle of his forehead, he had a large horn in the shape of a thunderbolt, and his whole equipment seemed to be light Japanese-styled armor. His only weapon is a katana, which he infused with purple and yellow thunder, unleashing one hundred slashes against the monstrosity that dared to attack his master… and lover.

Zap! Zap!

One hundred thundering slashes were unleashed from his katana, the monstrosity's tentacles were completely grilled in place, exploding into pieces as the fierce thunderbolts roared across the rest of its two halves, grilling it alive as it shrieked in agony for the last time.

"Gryyyaaaaa…!"

The young man glanced at Palami with a bright smile, showing his perfect white teeth.

"That was easy! But you need to be more careful Palami-chan," said the young thundering demon, Raito, one of the members of Palami's group and the youngest-looking of them three. He met Palami at a young age, where he was taught sword techniques by her as they traveled across the border continent, until one day they were caught by Athetosean humans and enslaved.

Naturally, he explored the Thunder Dragonoid Dungeon with the rest of the party, and defeated countless Thunder-type monsters, battling against the Thunder Dragon Overlord several times. Through these fights against monsters of his same element, he obtained enlightenment and developed a greater Katana Art, awakening it from his former Katana Technique.

After crossing through such challenges, Raito acquired large amounts of Experience Points after battling against the Thunder Dragon Overlord several times, evolving from a Thunderbolt Demon Lord into a Thunderclouds Katana Demon Lord. His body remained the same, but his muscles became even slimmer and flexible while tightening and becoming stronger. His entire body was now a source of endless electricity and he used it to enhance his muscles and brain to acquired greater speed and reflexes.

"Careful? I was about to kill it with one of my attacks, Raito! A-And why are you calling me 'Palami-chan'…?! D-Don't get too cocky!" said Palami, flustering a bit.

Many things happened in the dungeon between her and Raito. Perhaps after battling together for many days, perhaps due to the isolation of the dungeon, and perhaps due to saved up feelings, one-night Palami and Raito became drunk after a feast of Dragon meat… and Palami's personality became strange, possessive, and passionate.

Outside of all expectations, she carried Raito into her tent and did passionate love to him, letting out of all her frustrations and feelings as an older woman. Raito had become incredibly handsome since he evolved, and his nature became more mature, attracting Palami greatly…

Asure was also in her group, but he seemed to be aloof of Palami and had developed feelings for one of Kireina's daughters, Valentia.

Feeling a bit alone, she decided to embrace Raito, with who she had also developed feelings of love since she met him and raised him.

Raito of course did not reject her. Perhaps due to the bravery acquired by being extremely drunk, he embraced her love and had a sweet night with her.

However, the next day when they woke up completely naked next to each other… with Palami having a slimy substance inside of her womb… They freaked out a bit. After that, Palami seemed to have become pregnant, immediately detecting inside of her womb that something was slowly developing… Demons mated and gave birth extremely fast, even after evolving, this could not be easily prevented.

And like this, Raito pledged to take responsibility in front of a very embarrassed Palami.

Due to these series of events, the Master, who was a sexually frustrated mature woman, and her Apprentice, a young and reckless man became a couple.

And because Palami was pregnant, Raito suddenly became incredibly protective of her… even when Palami had greater defenses and was stronger than him.

"Well, I got to protect my wife and my little child, don't I?" said Raito with a gentle smile.

"D-Don't call me a wife…! W-We is just together because of the pregnancy… It is not like… I love you or anything…" muttered Palami. Unlike her usual calm and serious demeanor, she would become flustered and tsundere-like with Raito since that night. Raito could not help but tease her, he knew that she was lying and acting tough, even though she was a very sweet woman deep inside… Each night they spent together she would always remind Raito how much she loved him.

"And don't call me 'chan'! I am older than you, you are just a cocky brat! It seems that I didn't t-taught you enough about respecting your elders!" said Palami, moving her gaze away from Raito's teasing smile. She was noticeably older than him… but she was of course youthful and beautiful no matter her age. She asked for respect even though she would always become submissive in the nights.

She hit Raito's on his head with her fist as she always did and then flew away through the battlefield while unleashing slashes of holy light.

"Wooo! What a love-dovey couple, gahaha!" laughed a giant of over four meters tall, with dark brown skin and packed with rigid rock-like muscles all over his body. Several parts were covered in steel ores that grew naturally on his skin, forming armor over his body. He had bright gray eyes, and messy, long, and gray hair, seemingly made out of the metallic fiber.

He wore some simple black pants and was bare-chested and barefoot. His entire body seemed like a sanctuary or a treasure trove of minerals. Wielding his trusty mace, which had the size of a small hill, he laughed as he smashed the monstrosities that tried to put a dent in him.

He was still rather slow, but even when they were to bite him or attack him, the monstrosities would end damaged due to the multiple coatings of minerals that covered his body.

"Asure, s-shut up! Do not be disrespectful to your Master! Since when you two became like this?! Sigh…" muttered Palami.

"Palami is really stubborn, isn't she? You better take good care of her, shrimp," said Asure.

"Who are you calling shrimp?!" roared Raito, even after maturing, he still did not like to be called a shrimp, and attacked Asure with a series of thunderbolts.

Zap! Zap!

"Haha! That tickles! Heh, I am immune to your stupid attacks at this point," laughed Asure with a calm demeanor. His entire body was rigid and could not conduct electricity as well due to the Earth Attribute Mana being deeply engraved on his body, which was resistant to the Thunder Attribute.

"You giant meathead, one of these days I am going to beat the crap out of you!" roared Raito.

"Oh? Try it then! Gahaha!" laughed Asure.

"Stop fighting like immature children or I am going to be the one beating the crap out of you two!" roared Palami, she was now pissed.

"Y-Yes ma'am…" they muttered at the same time. Raito could not tease Palami anymore when her eyes became crimson red in anger, she would probably slap him to death if he provoked her in such a temper. Asure could be a giant and possess immense defense, but he was still weaker than Palami in a lot of things.

Just as the trio was having their usual interactions, the presence of a strong enemy appeared right behind Asure. The trio glanced at the origin of such presence, as a Beast made out of flesh enclosed them with it.

"Oh, Master has finally brought our delivery!" said Raito.

"So we have to get rid of this woman?" wondered Palami.

"Can she even stand one of our hits? Look how feeble she is," said Asure.

The girl was the daughter of the King and Queen of Sunclaw, the eldest prince and sister of the young prince. Half Gray Wolf and Half Phantasmal Werefox, Miki Sunclaw.

Her appearance was beautiful and delicate, she resembled a youthful woman in her mid-twenties, with a generous pair of breasts and wide hips, pale-white skin, and an outstandingly beautiful face with aquamarine eyes and long, silvery gray hair.

She had pointy fox ears atop her head, alongside a long and fluffy tail over her round butt. Wearing a simple and tight kimono that revealed the top of her breasts and the line in between, alongside her curves, she was charming and alluring to the eye.

Although the three demons did not seem to have been charmed at all.

Surrounding her body there was the Nightmarish and Disgusting Aura of Geggoron, alongside countless ghosts and specters floating around her like flies.

She seemed incredibly angered and frustrated.

"Just what was that?! That flesh creature appeared so fast and sent us all to different directions by manipulating the space of this domain… were they Kireina?! But how?!" she roared.
