Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Luminous Draconic breath clashed against Beleth's Aura Beam, for a moment, both seemed to be on equal terms, but Beleth's beam ultimately overpowered Luminous' attack.

BOOOOOMMM!!

The beam continued rushing through and then landed on Luminous, the scene of his flesh and bones splattering everywhere could be seen everywhere, especially when he was so large!

"LUMINOUS!"

Nyzzet panicked as he was fighting miasmic beasts and demons with the trio of young dragonesses. The trio who admired him also felt a shiver down their spine!

"Hahahaha! Pathetic Dragon! Couldn't you take at least one hit?!" Laughed Beleth. "I remember that the mother of Genesis Dragons, that lizard woman named Tiamat was able to take more hits than- Huh?!"

However, Beleth's laughter was interrumpted as he found out the floor only had some flesh, scales, and bones, the rest of Luminous body was nowhere to be seen.

Frankly, even with his powers, he shouldn't have been able to vaporize the dragon this much! So what happened?

Beleth got an answer rather quickly.

RUMBLE!

Crack, crack…!

CRAAAASH!

The earth below him and the demons behind him shattered open, as Luminous surged from within. 

He had turned himself into pure Light in the last moment, saving his own life and then infusing himself below the earth.

This was the unique powers of the Cosmic Dao of Primordial Light, the ability to turn the wielder into Light itself!

"YOU! How did you get down there out of nowhere?! Teleportation?"

Beleth was shocked, this wasn't teleportation either, his Aura would have been able to block the fluctuations between the Dimensions and stopped nearby foes from teleporting around.

"I don't have Teleportation magic." Luminous said, his entire body glowing with tremendous amounts of light, an Aura in the shape of his own body erupted from within, making him seem even larger than before. "I just moved really fast!"

The wound, which ended having pierced a hole through his shoulder, was already regenerating, with scales on top and everything, Beleth gritted his teeth in frustration.

"Okay, I admit it, you're tough." He sighed. "I like long fights though, so show me more of what you're capable of, then!"

The old demon jumped into the skies where Luminous had flew into, his fists blazing with infernal demonic flames.

His Dual Aura flickered, changing from Gold to Crimson Red. Luminous knew that this was his opportunity to finally hurt the damn demon.

"Now…!"

The two swords which he had created before, emerged out of his own Soul and converged together into a gigantic hammer, absorbing his Draconic Energy.

Beleth was taken aback by the sudden conjuration, as his fists were already reaching Luminous, puncturing through his flesh and leaving countless holes.

"[Heavenly Hammer of Draconic Holy Light: Mjolnir]!"

TRUUUUUMMMM…!!!

By channeling a similar power to the abilities Brunhild could conjure through harnessing the power of the Ancient Gods of Grand Terra, Luminous released this latent power all into a single, point-blank attack!

"Shit!"

Beleth felt sudden fear for the first time, the hammer crushing down on him as his Aura flickered in response, Gold and Crimson clashed against one another, but eventually, he was still hurt tremendously.

BAAAAAMMM!!

His body pummeled down into the ground, shattering the floor into countless of pieces. Beleth felt his bones crack and his muscles tear apart slightly.

At the same time, he vomited a mouthful of blood as he felt the light purifying his body.

Until the Golden Aura erupted from his body and quickly helped him take no more damage.

"Not… bad."

Beleth quickly stood back up, his Aura fusing into his muscles, making them larger alongside his body, to the point the old man was already reaching forty meters of height- no, fifty!

"Hahahaha… Maybe its time to get serious for once!"

He was harnessing more of his powers all at once, making Luminous perplexed.

"He hasn't used all his powers yet?!"

The Holy Dragon quickly activated the Ancient God's Arts, a power that those that descended from the Ancient Gods could conjure, such as Brunhild and him.

Brunhild had awakened an ancient bloodline, the reason why she could conjure such powerful magic and why she possessed these Runes covering her body.

For Luminous, a direct creation, this power should have been a given, but it took him Brunhild teaching him about how to harness it for him to learn how to utilize its powers fully.

"[Ancient God's Arts]: [Cosmic Void Skin]!"

His scales turned dark blue, shining with bright golden lights, as if he had become one with the cosmos, at the same time as countless meteoric punches descended upon him!

However, this time, Beleth wasn't unleashing normal attacks either.

The attacks had auras that transformed into ferocious demonic dragons, opening their jaws and attacking Luminous repeatedly.

They tore apart his scales and tried to devour his flesh!

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAAASSHH!!

"RAAAH!"

Luminous knew that escaping would quickly force Beleth to turn his aura into gold again, making him virtually immune to most damage.

So because of this, he had to bear with the agony and fight back!

The Cosmic Power surging from within his Soul kept emerging out of his Aura, combining it all together.

"[Heavenly Cosmic Primordial Light Domain]!"

With a furious roar, Luminous combined his Abilities with the Ancient Gods Arts and Kireina's Cosmic Domain, which she taught him.

Beleth suddenly found himself trapped within an endless cloud of cosmic light and stars, his body becoming slightly paralyzed!

"T-This is… Cosmic Power?!"

"[Heavenly Star Fall]!"

Luminous did not waste a single second after that, summoning hundreds of stars made of heavenly light, raining down upon Beleth and striking him directly.

At least fifty stars fell over his body before the demon could switch into his Golden Aura of Harmony, changing from his Scarlet Aura of Wrath!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"AAARRGGH…!"

Beleth felt his flesh and bones shatter, burning his skin, and beginning to suffocate.

Although he had fought many mighty foes before, nobody seemed to have ever pushed him this far.

Usually, his attacks were so deadly they would die quickly, but Luminous had the most insane regeneration abilities of every other foe he has ever faced.

"T-This excitement and exhilaration…! I have not felt it since I fought those Supreme Gods long ago…!" He laughed out loud. "Come out, other me!"

Suddenly, his body began to divide.
