Epic Of Caterpillar

CRAAAASSHH!!!

The Golden Aura Demon was hacked apart by Kireina's axe, shocking the two powerful Demons!

"Y-YOUUU!"

However, a Demon would not die so easily, the old man quickly fused itself back together in a split of a second, before his Golden Aura were to bathe Kireina on an endless sea of burning light.

FLAAAASSHH!!!

"Seriously?"

Kireina, however, seemed unscathed, her Aura absorbing the light with ease and synthetizing it into more Essence for herself.

"S-She's absorbing my Aura's powers?!"

The old man quickly tried to step back further, only for Kireina to rush towards him with all her speed!

"Enough!"

However, the Crimson Aura demon appeared right above her, his gigantic fists reaching Kireina, a meteoric attack of countless explosive strikes bathed her whole body!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Kireina was being slowly pushed back, until she fell into the ground, shattering the floor and shaking the entire Realm of Ravenfolt.

BAAAAMMM!!!

"You're good."

Kireina recognized the Crimson Aura Demon's strength; however, her Swarm Queen Armor was already beginning to materialize around her body.

It shone with a malicious black color, with countless red eyes and insect-like features, sharp dragon-like jaws on her shoulders, and with it…

Came her own Swarm too.

"I present to you guys my Swarm."

With that devilish smile, the two Demons quickly noticed not only monstrous insects, dinosaur-like creatures, and all sorts of divine beasts from her World Realm.

But also the reanimated bodies of Miasmic Aberrations and Wrath Barbarian Demons she had forcefully turned into her Swarm members too.

The more Swarm members there, the larger and stronger it became, benefiting her even more.

If they didn't want to join when alive, she simply had to rise them into Undead, and they would happily oblige now!

Of course, to rise such powerful beings into Undead, basic Death Magic didn't work, it was thanks to her Primordial Necromancy Divine Magic, acquired by absorbing a large piece of the Necrotic Plane's Ruler Soul.

The soul of the literal embodiment of Death might have been just what she needed to get an unlimited supply of Swarm members, from the corpses of her foes, no less!

Somehow, although Kireina had softened in some areas, she seemed even more merciless in others.

"Y-You have enslaved the Demons that you've defeated into Undead… And added them to that strange power?"

"Swarms? What is this Dao?! I have never heard of it!"

"Well, you're about to hear a lot about it! [Endless Swarm of Gluttony]!"

Kireina laughed heartily, her Path Jewel of Ouroboros activated, as its powers merged with her Swarm Queen's Aura, fusing it all into countless of snake-like heads.

"[Greater Ouroboros Embodiment]!"

"SHAAAAHHH!"

The gigantic snakes reached the two demons in a split of a second, moving so fast it seemed like they moved through space, tearing it all down!

"Get behind me."

The Golden Aura Demon flew in front of the Crimson Aura Demon and smiled confidently.

"You might have been able to trespass my domain before, but that's not going to happen anymore!" He said. "[Harmonious Golden Aura]: [Domain of Serenity]!"

FLAAAASH!

The old man floated in midair while sitting cross-legged, his aura transforming into a beautiful and endlessly blossoming lotus!

Its light was powerful, piercing through Kireina's swarm and beginning to make it burn into ashes…!

"I see how it works, interesting, very amusing." Kireina nodded, pretending to be surprised. "[Abyssal Maws of Endless Devouring]"

Kireina's entire body melded into the Swarm too, transforming into an amorphous shape, opening countless jaws and beginning to devour the golden aura.

CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

"GYEHEHEHE! This is useless! My powerful Aura has been cultivated and formed after eons, EONS! This Soul of mine is full of Serenity and Harmony, I have taken upon the teachings of the Supreme Cosmic Throne, Budda himself!"

The Golden Aura Demon was confident on his abilities, and explained the reason behind Beleth's Serenity and Harmony Aura, it was part of something he learned from a Constellation!

A Constellation that was nobody else than the Primordial Representation of Budda, it was one of his many techniques.

The [Harmonious Golden Aura] Art!

Yet Kireina couldn't give more of a fuck about it.

Crack, crack…!

Going against all expectations, her jaws kept biting and chowing down through the Aura, her Essence only growing larger and larger, until just barely a few seconds after…!

CRAAASH!

The Golden Aura shattered like glass!

"Impossible…!"

The Golden Aura Demon was then greeted by Kireina swiftly shapeshifting back into her humanoid form, her laughter resonating around the entire surroundings as her titanic axe moved down.

"STOP!"

The Crimson Aura Demon caught up to her and attacked, his Aura surging like an endless blazing sea, attempting to burn all of Kireina's Swarm together with her!

"[Soul-Shattering Meteoric Infernal Fists]!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Each attack was a devastating blow that could blow up half a continent, Kireina tanked them fairly well, while making sure to grab the old man by the beard and cut down his arms, putting him in front of the fists.

"Wait…!"

The old golden demon groaned, as the red demon opened his eyes wide, his fists quickly retracted as Kireina used his fellow Soul Brother as a shield!

"Y-You…! How dare you use me as a shield!"

The old man complained, as Kireina smiled back at the other demon.

"Does this suit your tastes? You're all demons after all, isn't this what you're used to? To scummy and horrendous acts? Why are you so surprised?"

"Y-You're a damn Monster…"

"Me? Oh my, hearing that from my fellow demons is sure a pain in my heart!"

"Kireina, you're playing a lot with them…"

Mammon couldn't help but feel like Kireina' awakened demonic authorities might have made her slightly more sadistic than before now.

"What's wrong with making bastards suffer?"

Kireina then grabbed the old man's neck.

"ENOUGH!"

The golden demon roared in fury, all his aura erupted with tremendous power, shaping into an endless shockwave of golden power!

FLAAAASSHH!!!

However, Kireina laughed, her endless Soul devouring it all happily, her Essence rising more and more! She felt like she was already developing a Second Spiritual Heart by fusing this energy into it.

"Leave my Soul brother go!"

The Crimson Aura Demona attacked Kireina from behind at the same time as the shockwave of the other seemed to paralyze her.

"DIE!!!"

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
