Epic of Caterpillar
chapter-736

Ailine flew out of the barrier set by the Gods, glancing at her surroundings.

She noticed that the three Demigods, the children of Hephaestus and Kabeiro had been thrown off the entire battlefield, and had landed almost into the beach…

Ailine could not help but laugh a bit as she noticed how they were struggling to get off the enormous craters they left and began to fly back here.

"Hmm… They went all the way to the beach… Mommy would be proud of me!" said Ailine.

"Ailine-chan! Did you get stuck inside the barrier? How are you? The Demons are coming!" said Vudia, flying towards Ailine as she covered herself in her golden aura.

"I'm fine, I actually just whipped out the three Demigods molesting us… Mommy is up there taking care of four of them… Let's trust her and let's go fend off the demons!" said Ailine.

"Oooh~! Amazing, Ailine-chan! And sure, let's go! I think El Dorado is finally ready!" said Vudia, flying alongside Ailine as the two sisters held hands.

Flash!

Reaching the ground, Vudia raised her arms, as she began to extend her enormous Divine Gold Aura, seeping it all into the ground.

"Come on, come out now! It's finally time!" she said.

"(I wonder what El Dorado is even… Is it some kind of pet?)" thought Ailine.

BOOM!

Suddenly, all of Ailine's questions answer themselves as a gigantic hand made entirely out of gold breaks the entire floor, grasping the ground with ridiculous strength!

"Ah! It's here, Ailine-chan! El Dorado!" said Vudia.

"El… Dorado…?" wondered Ailine, as an enormous titan made of gold begins to crawl its way to the surface, its size being over one hundred meters tall.

Its body resembled that of a humanoid golem, however, its torso had something resembling a turtle carapace, that resembled an Aztec pyramid.

Its entire body was made of pure gold, however, it was not just normal and plain gold, as it was a super reinforced Divine Material made by Vudia since she began to produce Divine Energy.

The moment Vudia acquired the ability to produce Divine Energy, her own gold began to change, becoming akin to an incredibly high-quality Divine Material.

After this, Vudia came with the idea of making her own super mech made entirely out of this super gold, and after many days of 'secret' preparations with Brontes and Kireina's Slime Clones, El Dorado had finally been finished, and she had left him underground, ready to fight any threats!

"GUUUUUOOONNN…!"

El Dorado roars, raising its enormous arms.

"Let's go in, Ailine!" said Vudia, as Ailine nods clumsily, still surprised over Vudia's amazing creation.

The two sisters then jump right inside of the giant mech, as Vudia commands it to move, and to attack the nearest Demon Army!

"GUOOOON…!"

El Dorado steps into the ground, as the entire battlefield trembles!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Each step was like an explosion, as the gain was not simply big, but was also thousands of times heavier than an average mech.

This was because Gold was naturally heavy compared to most types of metal, and if there was an enormous mech of over one hundred meters made entirely out of it… it was bound to be immensely heavy!

Yet, it was moving rather… quickly!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Vudia and Ailine charged their Auras into El Dorado, as its enormous body was being boosted by their Divinity, increasing its stats, and moving with even greater efficiency and speed that would make no sense for most bystanders!

"Now! Zap Cannon! Boom!" said Vudia, as El Dorado roared, opening its gigantic cannon on its chest, and releasing an enormous cannon of lightning.

Spark!

"W-What is that?!

"Is that… some kind of golem?!"

"How can we even fight against that?!"

"R-Run!"

Spark… CRASH!

"Nnnggyaaaaaahhh…!"

Falling over a nearby squadron of demons and monstrous beasts, the enormous Zap Cannon burned everything on the spot, only leaving charred remains…

"Oh! El Dorado leveled up!" said Vudia.

"This thing can level up?!" asked Ailine.

"Yup! El Dorado is a friend, he has a soul! Not an item or equipment!" said Vudia.

"Amazing!" said Ailine, as her rainbow eyes shined even brighter due to her sister's marvelous creation.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

El Dorado kept rushing through the battlefield, helping its allies while defeating small groups of demons spread all across the large area, until they finally came across a slightly stronger Demon than the rest…

"What is this? A giant golem? Is this giving you so many problems, you pathetic vermin?! Get up and fight it!" it roared, the demon in question resembled a giant purple slime wearing an even bigger set of seemingly technologically advanced armor over him, having four 'arms' wielding large weapons, alongside a cannon on his chest where a purple crystal was incrusted.

"B-But Kururulipe-sama! That's literally a giant golem made of gold, how do you expect us to make a difference at all?!" asked one of the soldiers, a Demon Slime, of the same race as the 13 th Demon General, Kururulipe, known as the Dark Menace.

"We are mere mortals after all, not crazy strong Epic Skill users!" said another.

"Shut up!" roared Kururulipe, extending his slime tentacles and grabbing the other Demon Slimes, who could barely struggle as they were devoured by their General!

"A-Ah! The General got pretty angry again!"

"Shit, shit, shit!"

"And there it is! That golem is coming! Even when we charge all our magic, it seems to be completely unfazed…! It is as if it was made of Divine Material…!"

"Hmmm… I will take it on and show all of you pathetic vermin that we must trust our Gods who had blessed us in this fight!" roared Kururulipe, as he moved towards the front lines while glancing at El Dorado with his helmet.

Kururulipe was born as a member of the mysterious and strange race of Demons named Demon Slimes, born without even meeting his parents, he broke through his little egg and survived however he could in the harsh environments of the Demon Kingdom's slums.

Barely making it every day, he suffered through many struggles, and even as a Slime, he still felt fear and hunger, several days he went without eating much other than trash which he digested inside of his body, but even trash was getting scarce in the Slums, as he was not the only one with his race, and many other Demon Slimes would often fight for their meals, devouring each other, something that Kururulipe feared the most.

However, after a life and death fight against a different race demon, he managed to devour it, acquiring a sizable meal… and also, a great strength through the experience points gained, leveling up.

Kururulipe's primitive mind then slowly began to use the System to his advantage, finally having realized the existence of such a power, he sneaked around the streets, preying in innocent people that went around late on night, devouring their delicious flesh and nourishing himself both in nutrients and in strength.

No long after he managed to evolve, becoming even stronger and preying even more efficiently over the people, until one day he was noticed by the same of his kin and was chased down by hunting their prey.

He was then almost killed and assimilated by a bigger Demon Slime, only to come in top at the last moment by using his special Skills and Spells that he sharpened through his harsh life.

The moment he assimilated the biggest Demon Slime of the slums, he became the boss of the other Demon Slimes, and slowly began to grow his influence, to the point where he took a hold of many criminal organizations.

Not long after, he awakened his Epic Skill, acquiring new Quests given to him by the System, alongside gaining new rewards and skills, forging himself to become a powerful Demon General.

After a few months, he was ultimately recruited by the 1st Demon General, Puplalina, and made into the 13th Demon General after undergoing several trials and tasks to prove his strength and potential to the other Demon Generals and also the Greedy Queen.

Finally becoming a great Demon General, he set off to have an even greater life, working with his peers and conquering several smaller Nations for the Kingdom, alongside bringing his own Demon Slime lackeys as soldiers.

He saved up a lot of money and created his own armament, a creation which was made of many ancient artifacts he got from Dungeon Travels. Forging his new equipment with the help of talented workers in the Demon Kingdom, he created a powerful suit of armor that was packed with an ancient technology only found in Dungeons, named Magic Technology.

After participating in several wars while showing off his amazing prowess, he was known as the 'Dark Menace', due to his merciless ways of slicing off enemies with his weapons and then eating them right away, he was a vicious Demon General who only knew the meaning of battle, survival, and war.

After the oracles from the Demon Gods, the Greedy Queen prepared many armies, and all of the Demon Generals were brought into this battle against this mysterious Monster Kingdom that had popped up from the Grand Forest.

By the guidance of the Gods and the Greedy Queen, he was sure of his victory, and although his army was facing a monstrous being that seemed immune to their attacks, he did not falter at all, eating those that ran away from it and then charging by himself against this enormous golem.

"A golem, huh? Let me show you that you're not the only big in here!" he laughed, even at such a creature that was one hundred meters tall such as El Dorado…

Kururulipe's entire body began to expand dozens of meters, as his armor did so as well, becoming bigger and bigger…

This was one of Kururulipe's special Skills, 'Body Size Alteration' and 'Armament Size Adjustment', which let him grow as big as he desired, alongside his equipment as well.

He used this to grow as big as El Dorado, and confront it with a barrage of corrosive Slime Bullets, alongside a rain of Dark Shadow Spears produced through the Spell of the same name.

Although he was not aware of this, Demon Slimes had a great talent in Magic. When Kururulipe realized this truth, he began to fervently practice magic, becoming one of the strongest sorcerers in the entire Kingdom of Thanatos.

Vudia and Ailine however did not know any of his past and seemed to enjoy this little fight that had surged out of nowhere.

"Look, Ailine, it's a slime-like you!" said Vudia.

"Yeah… Kill it!" said Ailine.

"On it! El Dorado, use Zap Barrier and then… Electrifying Thunder!" said Vudia, infusing her power into El Dorado, as the gigantic Golem was being slowly 'digested' by Kururulipe while receiving some measly damage from his magic attacks.

Flash!

Suddenly, a barrier made of electricity appeared around El Dorado, zapping Kururulipe's entire body as he shrieked in agony!

"NNNGGYAAAH! W-What the heck is that?! How can thunder magic do anything to me?! I have an Immunity Skill!" said Kururulipe, in complete disbelief. He was unaware that this Thunder was no mere Thunder, but one charged with Divine Power from Vudia and Ailine's souls.

And then…

ZAP!

An enormous thunder fell from El Dorado's hands, which covered Kururulipe's entire body, falling into the ground as it began to release a foul smell as if he were literally being boiled alive!

"NNGGYAAAAAH…! I-Impossible…! I… Is that the power of a God?! But I… am the pinnacle of a mortal!" cried Kururulipe, it seems that he wasn't able to catch up with the power creep.

"It's still alive?" asked Vudia in surprise.

"NNNGGUOOHHH…! I WILL HAVE TO USE IT THEN! Divine Core of Darkness, activate!" roared Kururulipe, as his entire body was shrouded in darkness, enormous dark claws emerged from his body, tearing apart El Dorado!

Or well, trying to do so.

Suddenly, an enormous sphere of darkness was charged from Kururulipe's chest cannon, flying towards El Dorado at max speed!

"Zap Cannon!" said Vudia, as El Dorado obeyed her master's orders, charging a powerful cannon of lightning, hitting Kururulipe's attack and easily dissipating it!

CLASH!

BOOM!

"…Eh? You've gotta be kidding me… Nnngh… Nngggyaaaaaahhhh…!" muttered Kururulipe, as his entire body was shrouded into the lightning, boiled alive until only a puddle of lifeless jelly was left…

The remaining Demon Slime Soldiers glanced in disbelief, as the General that they both admired and feared was completely annihilated…

"That was fun!" laughed Vudia.

Kururulipe, 13th Demon General of the Thanatos Kingdom: deceased.

Cause of Death: Boiled alive by El Dorado's Zap Cannon.
