Epic Of Caterpillar

CLAAAAAAASSSHHHH!!!

Kireina was quickly overwhelmed by Hercules new Undead form, as she fell down into the pits that he had opened, falling into an endless sea of phantasmal flames.

"K-Kireina!" Brunhild cried. However, as she was about to go help her, Hercules reached her, his two giant swords slashing against her with countless sharp attacks!

"You're not going to go help your little fairy friend, damn brat!!!" Roared Hercules, slashing at her with his gigantic blades.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!

"AAAAGGH…!"

Brunhild's entire body was quickly covered on deadly wounds all over, as she started bleeding intensively. Her wounds, however, were infected with Miasma and Nether, poisoning her even further.

"RAAAH!"

CLAAASH!

Hercules kicked her in the stomach, throwing her away before the girl could even conjure some magic, as she fell over the sands, vomiting blood.

"Guugh…! Hahhh… Ungh…"

Brunhild groaned in pain, as she felt her life slowly fading away once more, it was like the same exact moment that happened with her and the twins Eriant and Ariant, who were now too busy, fighting several Undead Giants and armies of millions of Undead at once.

Ryo and Amiphossia quickly noticed Kireina being thrown down into the phantasmal nether flames pits while Brunhild was about to be killed, and both of them immediately jumped into battle.

"You'll have to face us before you can even touch her!" Amiphossia said. "[Divine Abyssal Phantasmal Fusion]!"

"Mom's going to be surely back, but for now, let me punch your stupid face!" Ryo roared. "[Myriad Self]: [Myriad Fist]!"

Amiphossia's gigantic phantasmal form, covered in dozens of white snake heads attacked Hercules from the left, while Ryo came from the right. Amiphossia's Phantasmal Blades sliced through Hercules soul countless times, while Ryo rained over his body with gigantic fist attacks.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRAAASH!

"Unnnggh…! You two…!" Hercules roared, as he was suddenly being slightly overwhelmed!

Kireina's children strength was not something to scoff at, in fact, those two were her strongest children, and it was already quite clear why that was it!

"[Myriad Fist Meteor]!!!" Ryo roared, dozens of meteors in the shape of fist fell over the giant, crushing through his body!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"[Phantasmal Blade Arts]: [Soul Severing Slash]!" Amiphossia swung her two divine blades, slicing through Hercules' soul multiple times!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH!

"GRAAAAGGH…!" Hercules was fast and powerful, intercepting their blows and fighting back with his own powerful magic.

Netherworld's Breath attacks constantly pushed the two siblings back, and his shapeshifting weapon too a myriad of forms every second, slowly beginning to push the children back more and more with amazing movements and weapon techniques.

However, even so, in a normal situation they would still have the upper hand… If it wasn't because the Gates leading to the Netherworld were constantly empowering Hercules' strength and magical power.

The souls coming from them constantly healed his broken undead body and his soul was also constantly patched up with more souls. It was as if he had infinite energy to unleash as much power as he wanted.

"Shit…! He's slowly tipping the scales to his favor!" Amiphossia said. "And these Phantoms and Undead… I cannot take control over them, there's an even stronger entity controlling them all, I cannot overpower his authority…"

"If only this bastard didn't had such a cheat power… He constantly protects that damn black crystal, if we could reach it…" Ryo muttered. "Maybe this could end!"

"Hahaha… Are you brats finally growing tired? It hasn't even been thirty seconds since we started fighting!" Laughed Hercules. "Now- Huh?!"

"[Heavenly Divine Cathedral]!"

FLAAAASH!

Suddenly, Brunhild's magic was conjured, covering the two of Kireina's children and healing their wounds and exhaustion in a flash! The cathedral made of light emanated a shockwave of holiness, quickly dissipating all surrounding phantoms that were slowly weakening their stats.

Such phantoms couldn't be easily tamed by Amiphossia, so purifying them was an excellent move to help them regain their former strength. Brunhild was also healed as she stood in the middle of the cathedral made of light.

"I'm sorry for leaving everything to you two…" Brunhild gasped for air. "I have to fight too! Please, allow me to assist you, Amiphossia, Ryo!"

"Heh, sure thing!" Ryo smiled.

"Alright then, Brunhild!" Amiphossia nodded.

Hercules started to laugh.

"Hahahaha… Amusing, you've been trying constantly to put a dent on me, yet it is all futile! And you… pathetic giant, you are not worthy of possessing the God's Crest!" Said Hercules. "Once I am done with you, I'll make sure to rip apart your skin off your damn corpse to get them for myself!"

"Shut up…" Brunhild said. "This power… I'll use it to defeat you! Amiphossia, did you said you cannot control phantoms?"

"Eh? Yeah? Why?" Asked Amiphossia.

"I think I have a solution to that predicament!" Brunhild hit the ground, suddenly conjuring a magic spell she had once seen a Necrotic Death Overlord utilize, which encompassed her surroundings.

Millions of souls and phantoms suddenly stopped moving around and gathered around Brunhild's aura!

"[Netherworld Magic]: [Necrotic Phantasmal Legion]!"

FLUOOOOSH!

All the phantoms temporarily stopped helping the Undead and debuffing everyone else, while at the same time, several of the ones fused with Hercules… started to fly away from him, weakening him slowly, bit by bit!

"W-What in the world?! How is it possible you can use this magic?!" Hercules asked in shock.

"I guess it is impossible for an idiot like you to guess!" Brunhild suddenly acted cocky. "I have not just inherited mom's magic, my Crest… It is much more than hers, it has been born from her love with my father!"

FLAAASH!

The tattoos around Brunhild started to shine brightly, the power of total magic that she had wasn't just this. Brunhild since she was born that was designed to be this world's [Sage]! Amongst the many figures that represent a role in the world, the [Sage] is an entity that would eventually be able to master all magic, comparable to the [Hero] and the [Demon King]!

"Now take this, Amiphossia!" Brunhild said.

"Oooh?! Now this is good!" Amiphossia laughed maliciously, as hundreds of thousands of Souls and Phantoms fused into her own aura, powering her up tremendously!
