Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Kireina's arrival shook the entire battlefield!

The Demons that were so relentlessly fighting the trio of dragonesses, who were already almost done killing Nyzzet's summons, were shaken once they saw her presence.

Especially because within her, there wasn't just the authority of a single archdemon, but two!

The power of Satan's Primordial Sin of Wrath itself was blazing within her, combined with the ever-expanding strength of Mammon's Primordial Sin of Greed.

And between them, the ever-developing Gluttony and Lust danced between her Aura of Demonic Energy.

Her Essence Stat showed itself the most in this moment, a combination of several energies together, including the Demon's Infernal Energy, the more refined form of Demonic Energy.

Her Aura's color fluctuated between deep dark red, bright orange, clear purple, and black constantly, resembling an endlessly blazing flame.

Quite honestly, it felt as if the real final boss had arrived.

"Y-YOU…!"

The Golden and the Crimson Aura Demons reacted in the same fashion, while one of them was almost mortally wounded and barely being healed by the other.

Meanwhile, the reaction of Nyzzet was much different!

"Kireina-sama…!"

"Well done buying me some time, Nyzzet. Your bravery will be rewarded."

Kireina waved her hand, as a Divine Flame reached Nyzzet, quickly healing him of all wounds and making him feel even stronger and healthier than ever before.

"Hahhh… T-Thank you so much, I thought I would die there…"

"I never thought that the cowardly dragon would put his life on the line to protect someone he had never meet before."

Kireina smiled back at Nyzzet, the Thunder Dragon feeling a slight sense of pride within him.

"You did well, thank you for protecting Luminous, even as weak as you are compared to him. Perhaps I was wrong about you. You do have a brave dragon heart."

"K-Kireina-sama…"

Nyzzet suddenly realized that the Kireina he had always imagined to be some sort of selfish monster with nothing else in her mind than to eat her foes was a very wrong portrayal of her true nature.

Kireina had learned a long time ago to appreciate the efforts of others, and also appreciate their help and company.

Even Nyzzet had something worthy within his heart, something she recognized.

"Can you stand up? For now, can you help the trio over there? They're having a hard time dealing with everything." Kireina said.

"Very well!" Nyzzet said with a brave voice, quickly flying away.

Even though he was filled with resolve to fight again, he would rather fight these mob demons than the two big bosses he stood no chance against.

"Agatheina, help them too." Kireina said.

"Are you sure, Kireina-sama?" Agatheina asked as she flew out of her shadows. "I wanted to sneak an attack or two on those guys!"

"Come on now, help them, they need some assistance, you've grown strong enough that you can take on the battalion over there, right?" Kireina asked nicely.

"Well, if you put so much confidence in my strength, I cannot disappoint you." She smiled sweetly. "I'll be right back!"

As Agatheina flew away to aid the Dragons, Kireina glanced at the two demons in front of her, the giant axe in her hands was in fact, Mammon himself.

"I knew it was going to be this bastard." Mammon immediately recognized the Demons.

"Who are they?" Asked Kireina. "They were strong enough to overwhelm Luminous himself, and that guy's pretty strong."

"Is that Mammon's presence?" The Golden Aura Demon asked.

"T-To think this damned aberration arrived here so quickly…" The Crimson Aura Demon muttered, gritting his teeth. 

"These bastards are a single Demon. One of the oldest Demon Lords serving Satan, Beleth." Said Mammon. "A Two-Faced Calamity born with two Souls… He has two special Auras, his Cultivation and growth has reached the point he has created incredibly powerful techniques around such a unique power, these two are the result of such power. A Demon for each of his Auras, which he usually cannot use at the same time."

"I see, I see." Kireina nodded. "Beleth, huh? Oh well, double the soul, double the loot, right?"

However, Nyzzet was wrong… Kireina might have a soft spot. 

But she was indeed, a very gluttonous and greedy monster that loved to torture her foes and devour their powers.

That was something that has never changed since she was reborn in Genesis!

Her smile sent shivers down the spine of the two Aura Demons, which quickly decided to fight her anyways…

Why? Well, because they were still confident they could win!

"You caught me off-guard there." The Crimson Aura Demon smiled. "It will not happen again."

His wounds had already fully regenerated. Kireina allowed him to recover, she wanted to see how far her powers could go after all.

"Hohoho, you're brimming with confidence just because you defeated my Master's vessel, foolish aberration." The Golden Aura Demon laughed. "Your existence is an error, Kireina. You shouldn't have continued living."

"I shouldn't?" Asked Kireina calmly. "Can you elaborate, pretty please?" She smiled sweetly, barely hiding behind a murderous intent.

"Back then, it was all just for you to die! That Trait you carry should had gone to our master! It all went wrong when your damned mother decided to throw you into the Sea of Stars within your Universe!" The Golden Aura Demon spoke. "The Overseers would have caught you and you would have become the source of new strength for my master and the Outer Gods that-"

FLAAASH!

"Okay, I heard about that already."

"Huh?!"

Kireina flashed through space, blinking through it with her own Aura, which negated any space magic-negation abilities, and reached the Golden Aura Demon's own domain.

The Domain made out of his Golden Aura of Harmony was breached in a second.

"Wait…!"

He was unable to evade the next attack, as Kireina's axe hacked through his torso all the way down, tearing his entire body into two halves.

CRAAAASSHH!!

Blood splattered everywhere, the old man's innards exploded, as his Golden Aura of Harmony went awry!

"Yeah, that's more like it."

Kireina licked the blood on her face, smiling.
