Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

The "Two Faced Calamity, Beleth" was a Title that Luminous thought only meant his change of personality from a calm old man to a bloodthirsty battle maniac.

Or that reflected his powerful Dual Aura, the Golden Aura of Harmony, which protected him from all hits and that could absorb damage and release it as beams, and the Crimson Aura of Wrath, which boosted his physical prowess through the roof.

But there was another secret that the Supreme Gods in the past have faced from Beleth, a terrifying power that even the Archdemons recognized as one of Beleth's strongest powers.

The reason why he had a state of pure serenity and harmony, and another of bloodthirst and wrath was because he was born with two minds, two personalities… two souls.

Beleth has been unique since birth, his soul was two, and both souls had their own personalities. 

One was calm and meditative, his Golden Soul of Harmony, a rare occurrence among demons.

The other was furious and bloodthirsty, his Crimson Soul of Wrath, the normal soul most demons in that layer possessed.

Because of this, his Dual Soul managed to reach a Dual Aura. He meditated and reached a higher consciousness, while also gaining power through destruction and violence.

And when he faced a mighty foe, he would go beyond that and divide them two, alongside his body…

This was his "other me"!

And one of his Ultimate Techniques.

"[Dual Soul Division]"

FLAAAASSHH!!!

A bright flash of golden and crimson light was unleashed from his body, Luminous stepped back due to the intensity of the light, as he glanced in stupor that Beleth now became not one, but two!

Both of the bodies looked different than the original old man. The one embodying the Golden Aura of Harmony had completely golden skin, with a thinner complexion and almost no muscles.

It looked almost even older than Beleth himself, with a long gray beard, and a hair of black horns growing from its forehead.

It also had a third, golden eye in between the two other tired-looking eyes, which weren't open, folded in between wrinkles.

The second, embodying the Crimson Aura, was a muscular giant with demonic and furious appearance.

Blazing crimson eyes released demonic flames, it had six black horns growing from its head, long black hair, and no beard.

Its entire muscular body was covered on demonic stigmas in the form of tattoos, further boosting its physical prowess.

"It has been truly a while since Beleth released us into the world, hohoho." The Golden Aura Demon laughed.

"About time that old bastard did so! I'm going to destroy it all! KUAHAHAHA!" The Crimson Aura Demon laughed even louder.

The two presences exuded even more powerful and concentrated Auras of their respective colors, but unlike Beleth, they couldn't shift between the two.

However, something told Luminous that wouldn't really be a disadvantage for them, as both seemed specifically born to make use of their powers to their limits.

"What bullshit is this?!" Luminous muttered. "You divided yourself into two?! A golden and a red demon?"

"Hohoho, quite the clueless young dragon, are you not?" Laughed the Golden Aura Demon. "Let us enlighten you with some knowledge about our true nature, and what Beleth truly is."

"I will show you, yeah… With my FISTS!" The Crimson Aura Demon laughed.

FLAAASH!

It rushed down towards Luminous at blazing speed, resembling a meteor falling from the skies. Luminous imbued power into his body, regenerating the many wounds left behind.

The Cosmic Domain he had conjured was still active, and both demons were in it.

"Don't think you can just play games with me."

He quickly conjured the Heavenly Star Fall Spell from before, improving it and transforming them into giant Heavenly Cosmic Light Swords.

"Take this, [Myriad Cosmic Heavenly Swords]"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The two Demons were quickly surrounded by thousands of giant swords made of primordial light and cosmic energy.

The swords reached the Crimson Aura demon, attempting to pierce his body a hundred times!

However, the Golden Aura Demon appeared at lightning speed in front of him.

"All of the Damage shall be received by me. Harmony to all, hohoho…"

FLAAASH!

The Golden Aura the demon exuded changed the direction of the projectiles, which quickly ended attacking him instead!

"What?!"

Luminous shock was evident on his face, as the Golden Aura Demon absorbed all attacks, the Aura simply negated the damage and transformed them into energy for it.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Aura Demon was already right in front of him, the pressure of his Cosmic Domain was overpowered by the Demon's relentless physical might.

And of course, the mighty Stigma of Wrath which all Wrath Layer demons carried!

"RAAAAH!"

Without even chanting a technique or anything, the Crimson Aura Demon attacked Luminous, his fists, which were now four due to his new pair of arms, released explosions of flames that distorted space.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Crack, crack…! 

CRACK!

The Cosmic Domain began to shatter and break apart, Luminous was unable to keep it afloat due to his lack of control over cosmic energy and also his lack of practice!

"Dammit!"

Luminous quickly turned into pure Primordial Light and escaped as his Cosmic Domain collapsed, flying down to hide beneath the ground and surprise them again.

When he becomes pure light, it is not an understatement to say he can travel at almost the speed of light.

He was confident the two Aura Demons wouldn't be able to catch up with him on this state.

However, that thought was quickly proven wrong.

"Take it back."

The Golden Aura Demon laughed joyfully as he pointed his hands at Luminous, releasing two gigantic beams of Golden Demonic Energy.

TRUUMMM…!!!

Both beams intertwined into a single, spiraling golden beam, clashing against his Primordial Light Embodiment form, and tearing through his very soul.

BOOOOOMMMMM!!!

"AAAARRRRGGHH…!"

Luminous felt the most agonizing pain he had ever felt, all while he realized this form he had created was not impervious to damage… His Soul would become incredibly exposed in this shape!

"Hohoh, did you really thought I would miss such a good opportunity?"

The Golden Aura Demon laughed, while the Crimson Aura Demon caught Luminous, who had to forcefully turn back to his original form midair.

"You're dead meat!"

His fists fell over Luminous like meteors, piercing through his flesh!

CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH! CRAASH!
