Epic of Caterpillarchapter 1559: desperate battle!

.

Crack… crack!

CRASH!

I felt my entire shell quickly cracking and shattering! The power of his swords was the real deal, and to boot, it seemed that I wasn't even that resistant to Chaos Attribute like in my previous life. I had yet to achieve such a resistance after all! From all the elements Chaos was the least I've practiced in getting a Resistance Skill!

"Unnggh…!"

I couldn't help but groan, as I repeatedly activated [Harden] to harden my own body and then used [Purification] to regenerate health! However, doing that alone won't get me anywhere.

"You've gotten so frail out of the sudden!" Laughed the Emperor. He suddenly gained a very cocky attitude.

Alright, you pissed the fuck out of me.

[Purification] + [Holy Flames] + [Fireball] + [Soul Eater] + [Mighty Caterpillar Bite]!

By combining these Skills effects conjured at the same time, my jaws suddenly grew in size several times, shining with bright yellow light and enchanting the power of my biting force through the roof!

CRUNCH!

With a single bite, both of his Chaos Blades were bitten, completely disappearing out of thin air! The second after, I brought Silva with me, and enchanted her with Holy Light, unleashing several slashing attacks against him!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

She was a mere knife, but with the power of the holy element I imbued into her, she became constantly stronger, especially if I used her [Sharpness Enhancement] Skill on herself!

"Unnggh…! Akhhh…!"

The Emperor suddenly struggled, finding himself without weapons out of the blue, the black armor covering his body started to shatter by the might of Silva's blade, each of her slashing attacks unleashed a beam of light, piercing through his armor and flesh!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

[Mana Drain] and [Health Drain] were doing their best to supply me with HP and MP, but that wouldn't be enough. The Emperor was already beginning to retaliate, as blood and chaos merged within his aura, shaping into hundreds of spiraling spears!

"I shouldn't had lowered my guard before you! Chaotic Blood Spears!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"Shit!"

I tried to evade and fly away from these powerful attacks, but several of them began hitting my body strongly, piercing through it and making my internal fluids bleed out. My HP began to drop faster than a rock falling from a cliff! I haven't used Chaos Element because I know this bastard is just going to absorb it or resist it more than his weakness…!

"Overpowering Sun!"

TRUUUUMMM…!

Suddenly, an enormous sphere of flames emerged above the Emperor's body, clashing against his body faster than the bastard could react. The enormous blazing sphere exploded right after that consuming him into a hellish spiraling storm of flames!

BOOOMMM!!!

"UUUAAGGGH…! Y-YOUUU…!"

The Emperors scream of agony resonated across the skies, as I saw Sol emerging at my side. At long last, this bastard appeared!

"You're finally here, kid!" I said.

"I am sorry for being late! Let's defeat him together, Kireina! I saw you struggling, I am sure you can't handle this all on your own." He said.

"Well, I could… probably if I go all out, but that wouldn't be good if I end up failing and my MP drops down." I admitted.

"Then let's do this together!" Sol roared, his flames emerging from all his body. He had leveled up quite a lot from the dungeon, and then in here. He had most likely reached almost his level cap. He also had one to be honest. I don't know if he'll evolve or something, but he was already brimming with divine energy within his flames.

This world was definitely weird, the breach between mortal and divine was not as noticeable, someone that grew stronger simply slowly developed divine power and if they trained hard enough, could master it, and use it better. Others had natural talent for it.

But unlike in Genesis, Soul Books didn't stopped you from advancing, and there was no tribulations either. It could be said I was always a Divine Beast here, and the monsters and demons and humans in this world were merely just strong overall. Was Genesis always this weak of a world when compared to this world?

It feels like, as I struggle more, the stronger I grow.

I decided to quickly use Dao Summon and Divine Authorities without faltering. If we wanted to defeat this bastard of an Emperor, we couldn't go easy on him, especially because the more damage he took, the stronger he seemed to grow! What the heck is he, a Super Saiyan?!

Well, let's go for the strongest ones I've got right away!

Activate Dao Fragment of Demise!

Activate Divine Authority of Gluttony!

FLASH!

Suddenly, my body surged with two enormously strong divine powers. After both Skills that summon these powers had reached Level 3, the Dao Fragment and the Divine Authority I could use had also grown stronger too, several times! Each level enhanced their power. Despite being fragments, they were already showcasing powers that could only be achieved by lesser complete Daos.

Just what was the power of the Soul Book that this world granted to me?! This was insane! The more my Divinity Stat increased, the stronger I was growing and the more powers of my previous life I was able to unlock. I just needed to increase this Stat some more to get to the point this Emperor had reached…! This bastard, whatever method he used, I'll learn about it after I am done with eating his damn soul!

"RAAAAAAHHH!!!"

The Emperor roared, exploding in a furious storm of darkness and blood. The human soldiers running away from the battlefield after realizing their Emperor had turned against them began to scream as their entire bodies were emptied of all blood, leaving their dry carcasses like mummies scattered over the battleground.

The burned body of the Emperor quickly began to regenerate using this blood and his chaotic energies, which were constantly growing bigger the more I sensed something within his body emanating this power.

Is the sword that fused with him doing this?!
