Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Brunhild confronted the army of Lesser Bone Dragons with her magic and wits. She pointed her palms at the approaching monsters, unleashing fireballs at them.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Usually, fireballs would be effective against most Undead, but Lesser Bone Dragons were different. Their bodies were entirely made of hard bones, and they had a high resistance to flame as a result This bone was harder than most metals already, and these mere fireballs were of no use against them.

"ROOOAARRR!"

One of the Lesser Bone Dragons moved forward, leaping towards the young Giant girl as she flinched in fear, stepping back and suddenly tripping into the floor.

BAAAM!

"Uggh…! Ah!"

Brunhild saw herself being surrounded by six Lesser Bone Dragons, almost as big as thirty meters each, some smaller than others, but they were all very strong monsters, comparable to B+ Rank. Although they were not as strong as the bigger Bone Dragons, they were certainly very powerful.

"No… Get away from me!" Brunhild desperately unleashed several magical attacks from all the elements she knew about, giant boulders, fireballs, slicing winds, and anything, but her spells couldn't even pierce through the dragon's hard bones, and they were simply being pushed away.

"Why… Why is my magic not working!? That girl said my magic power was amazing… Why?!" Brunhild felt completely disappointed with her own strength. However, she didn't knew that these bone dragons were incredibly strong even if smaller than the big one the saviors defeated before.

"ROARRR!"

One of the Bone Dragons had enough of her attacks, charging Mana into its skeletal jaws and unleashing a Death Dragon Breath against her, as she barely managed to evade, jumping away from the deadly black flames that could even hurt souls.

BOOOOMMM!!!

The attack hit the ceiling accidentally, making large boulders fall from there, crushing some of the Bone Dragons and allowing Brunhild to escape a few more meters away, only to find herself surrounded by dozens more of Bone Dragons that jumped right in front of her.

"Shit, shit, shit! I am screwed…!"

Brunhild suddenly remembered the words of Kireina some time ago.

She had said something about her having an affinity for holy light magic, but the only thing she could ever conjure was some healing magic… and not even that was that good, it couldn't heal broken bones or ruptured organs.

"Holy Light Magic… If I could… concentrate it within my hands… Like… a beam or something! Like…!"

"ROOARR!"

One of the Bone Dragons reached her, swiping its claws and slashing through her body, leaving an ugly scar and pushing her into the ground once more.

BAAAM!

"AGGH…!" Brunhild looked at the bone dragons slowly approaching, as if they were enjoying seeing her struggle. "I can't die yet… not yet… not yet!!!"

FLASH!

In a desperate attempt, light magic gathered within her hands, unleashing an enormous flash of holiness that spread out into her surroundings. The Bone Dragons quickly stepped back in agony, as Brunhild noticed the light not only hurt them, but it healed her wound.

"T-This is…?"

"That's Purification! Well done, you're more of a genius than I imagined."

Suddenly, the cute voice of a little girl echoed behind Brunhild, as she saw Kireina once more, her enormous butterfly wings with eye-markings were at full display, flapping rapidly and allowing her to fly around just as easily as any bird or flighted bug.

"Ah, it's you!" Brunhild said. "And… Purification?"

"Yeah, like this!" Kireina laughed, as she suddenly pointed her hands around her surroundings, gathering the power of the Divine Authority of Humility which enhanced her holy light element and also the Dao of Fortune which was also rather compatible! "Grand Purification!"

FLAAAAASSSSH!

Kireina unleashed the same magic as she did, but even more powerful! Many of the Lesser Bone Dragons that Brunhild's attack weakened quickly turned into ashes before Kireina's powerful attack, as Brunhild opened her eyes wide open in shock!

"A-Amazing!" She said in surprise. "Purification… So that's the name of the spell!"

"That's right! Now guys, do your thing too!" Kireina quickly brought the rest of her party, an enormous dragon, a maid elf, and a brave armored hero. The trio immediately unleashed their respective attacks.

"Try to imitate this one as well, Brunhild…! Holy Light Arrow Shower!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Brunhild's eyes shone brightly as she saw the powerful God of Light unleash his magic, gathering light masterfully and spending just the necessary amount of Mana to create over thirty enormous arrows of light that flew towards every Lesser Bone Dragon in the vicinity without missing a single target! They were able to easily track their targets like homing attacks.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"W-Woah… A-Amazing… That's amazing!" Brunhild only had to look at Luminous' Spell once to imitate his attack. She concentrated her mana with her powerful gifted talent and gathered light, which she then shoot into her foes by shaping it as loosely shaped arrows of light!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Eh?! This girl's really talented!" Luminous was actually left shocked as she saw Brunhild unleash her attacks at an amusing speed, firing countless light arrows around. her arrows were weaker, but with the added damage of Luminous magic arrows, the Bone Dragons finally began to give in one after the other, exploding into bone piles.

"She's pretty fucking amazing I have to admit it." Said  Kireina while nodding, as she continued unleashing her [Grand Purification] to defeat these B Ranked Monsters. They were very strong, but not strong enough to give her that big of a challenge. Especially with everyone here, this was only a EXP fest for her.

"Blazing Dragon Arrows!" Fiere didn't wasted any time, firing a dozen of arrows across the caves which quickly shaped into countless furious fire dragons one after the other, catching their prey and then exploding with loud explosions

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"Ugh, so many explosions…" Brunhild muttered. "But I think… Maybe if I merge those two…!"

"ROOOARRR!"

However, while Brunhild thought about a new spell, a larger than normal Lesser Bone Dragon reached Brunhild in a single second!

"Watch out!"

Kireina quickly ran to Brunhild's rescue, but the girl seemed calm, and she even smiled…

"Holy Dragon Arrow Shower!"

FLAAASH!
