Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 171 - [Scripted Event] [Athetosea Great War] 15/20; Overwhelmed

-----

As Kireina commanded her backup army, commanded by the Wyvern Overlord, Redgaria, and Meiji, they Demi-Humans and monsters that have been itching for battle have been finally let loose.

By her command, the Wyvern Overlord was given the task of taking down the giant tree that suddenly appeared in the middle of the battlefield, which real origin was the Champion of Emerald Trees, a Half-Dryad man that sacrificed his life for the greater good of his people that he always loved and took care of.

Hearing their orders, the Wyvern Overlord commanded his children towards the battlefield, getting ahead of the rest of the army while flying at max speed. Due to the Wyvern Overlordʼs immense body, he decided to go back to his sword form to travel through the skies like a bullet, reaching the giant tree in less than ten seconds, leaving behind his children, who were surprised over their reincarnated father incredible speed.

Flash!

”Hmph, so this is the tree that Kireina wants me to take down, seems easy enough… It will be a nice practice for my new powers…”

Suddenly, the crimson sword floating in the skies that most soldiers overlooked, transformed into a giant Wyvern out of thin air, with massive black and crimson wings alongside golden eyes and massive charcoal-like horns on his head, that gave the illusion of a crown.

The soldiers were quickly alarmed by such being appearing out of nowhere.

”H-Huh?!”

”A-A Wyvern!!!”

”So, there are even such mythical creatures like Wyverns in this war, our enemy is truly an incommensurable demon!”

”We need to d-”

BOOOOOOOOM!

As the troops in charge of protecting the tree saw how the giant Wyvern started to shower the massive tree with thousands of fireballs, the soldiers began to freak out.

”W-What?! It attacking the tree!”

”How can it know that itʼs the cause of our strength!”

”It must be the demon! Stop the Wyvern!”

”But its too high in the skies! We lack airborne cavalry!”

BOOOOM!

BOOOOM!

As the Wyvern Overlord continued its onslaught of massive fireballs, the gigantic tree suddenly started to burn, although it had a massive body, it would take some time before it was completely consumed by the flames of the mythical beast.

”Crimson Fireball! Crimson Fireball! Haha! This is too easy, it is time for revenge, humans! After this, you will all be burned to ashes by my flames!”

As the Wyvern Overlord laughed over the simplistic task given to him, a sudden ray of golden light appeared out of nowhere, resembling a godly lance forged by the gods, the attacker stabbed the massive Wyvern Overlord right through its chest.

FLASH! BOOOM!

”Ungh?! What?”

Although the attack was strong, the Wyvern Overlordʼs true body, the sword, wasnʼt affected by it, and his wound quickly recovered back with a crimson light.

As the Wyvern Overlord glanced over the origin of the attack, he noticed a group of Knights protecting who seemed to be royalty. The woman was wearing a resplendent white armor with golden decorations, her hair was blue and reached her waist, while her eyes were golden and pure.

”Representing the Royal Family, I Acelina Athetosea, shall slay you, monster!”

To her sudden appearance, the soldiers that were supposed to protect the tree were relieved while worshipping the woman like a goddess.

”Ah! Itʼs the Queen sister, our Greatness Acelina!”

”Didnʼt she was in a faraway land?! With her, we will be able to slay the monster!”

To the praises of her soldiers and knights, Acelina gives a smug and prideful smile.

”Hohoho! Of course, you are lucky to be graced by my presence! In the name of the Elemental Gods, I shall purge these unholy beasts from our land!”

However, right at this very moment, the Wyvern Overlord transformed himself back into a sword and flew at an incredible speed towards Acelina.

FLASH!

”H-Huh?!”

Acelina waved her hand as she created a giant golden shield that seemed to be made of pure gold, as a holy light protected her and her subordinates from the Wyvern Overlord attack.

CLASH!

When the Wyvern Overlord clashed over the shield, he suddenly felt a strange force changing the course of his power and energy, completely reversing the damage he caused to the shield towards himself!

Suddenly, a powerful force clashed over the Overlordʼs sword body, enough to even create slight cracks in its blade.

CLASH!

”Hng?! Counter damage?!”

Acelina noticed the floating sword surprise as she once again laughed smugly.

”Hooohohoho! It seems that you have various tricks bellow your sleeve, monster! However, you cannot win against my powerful Holy Gold Magic, especially my Sacred Counter Shield!”

The experienced Wyvern Overlord quickly noticed that Acelina wasnʼt just bluffing over her strength, but that she was genuinely strong. He noticed that she wasnʼt a conventional enemy and that normal ways of dealing with her wouldnʼt work.

”How about this, then!”

Suddenly, the Wyvern Overlord sword body flew towards the skies as it was enveloped by a powerful crimson and golden aura, generating countless Magic Circles, that summoned hundred of Golden Fireballs that showed the battlefield, devastating everything.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

However, Acelina remained calm while looking at the Overlord sword with her same smug face, she once again waved her hands as hundreds of shields made of golden light protected anyone near her, while completely countering the damage they received, throwing all the Fireballs back to the Wyvern Overlord.

”Even magic?!”

The countered fireballs reached the Overlordʼs sword body as they blasted him all at the same time, creating a devastating explosion.

BOOOOOOOM!

To this sight, Acelina couldnʼt help but laugh in her smugness, while showing her soldiers how strong she was.

”Hooohohoho! See that? Too easy! When you are blessed by the gods, there are no boundaries to one strength!”

”Uooohh! Acelina-sama is so strong!”

”And she is beautiful too!”

”And cute!”

At such praises, Acelina laughed once again, while feeding her ego.

”Oohoho! Thatʼs right, thatʼs right! Keep praising me you plebeians!”

However, just at this moment!

Five differently colored flames came from the skies, devastating Acelineʼs troops while breaking most of her Golden Shields.

A massive Black Fireball fell upon her, but with the amazing speed of her unicorn cavalry, she managed to dodge in time.

”Hm?! More of these unsightly monsters!”

The culprits behind the sneak attack were the Wyvern Overlordʼs children, the five wyverns, Abellona, Aine, Adena, Titus, and Eshne. Meanwhile, their father appeared once again on his Wyvern form to their sides, and it seems that he also contributed to the attack.

”H-Huh? You too? How could you not die after such an explosion?!”

The Wyvern Overlord couldnʼt help but laugh over the naivety of the young royalty.

”Guhahaha! I am a Fire Wyvern, I am naturally immune to my own attacks, you human royalty!”

As the Giant Wyvern said these words, the blue-haired royalty glanced at her soldiers and knights, to find only hundreds of burned corpses. Even the strongest mages that had spent their entire lives mastering their magic shield spells werenʼt able to withstand the six wyvernsʼ barrage of fire.

Even in her own pride, Analice saw that her position wasnʼt that of bragging or acting cocky, a single mistake would lead to her sure death. She clearly presented as those differently colored flames managed to break her Holy Gold Shields with ease.

Suddenly, the Wyvern Overlord received a message from Kireina, saying that she wanted Analice alive, as her beauty would be wasted while being dead, and she would prefer to take her as her personal sex slave.

Over the malicious intent of his Master, the Overlord couldnʼt help but laugh, as he would have preferred to burn Analice alive, afterward devouring her crispy body. However, the destiny that awaited her may possibly be even worse than sudden death, being enslaved and touched by the demon representing Lust, will be a perfect punishment for her actions.

The six Wyvern quickly flew towards Analice as she desperately tried to fend them off, her unicorn was fast and quick, but the Wyverns were sharp, and quickly killed it off with their magic, in this fight, Eshne helped the most, as he manipulated hundreds of vines that sprouted from the ground, entangling the unicorn and capturing the royalty.

The Wyvern family had a quick meal by burning the unicorn alive until it was crunchy and crispy and enjoyed its juicy and tender meat. Eshne captured the royalty woman and put her in a sudden sleep using one of his skills, that summoned a small floating flower that released a small sleeping fragrance, enough to make a whale fall asleep. The Green Wyvern quickly saved the woman on his Item Box and resumed the burning of the giant tree alongside his brothers and father. The Wyvern Overlord quickly contacted Kireina, telling her of the news.

As Kireina gave a malicious smile over such great news, as she has been itching for a new toy to play around with, she glanced over the giant tree, which was suddenly embraced in terrible flames, releasing a gigantic black cloud of smoke all around the battlefield.

The human soldiers alongside the Hero of Raging Winds, the Champion of Psychic Eyes, and the Champion of Freezing Winter were quickly surprised and alarmed by such an event. The thing they thought would lead to their victory was suddenly burned to the ground right in front of their faces.

For a moment, the Hero of Raging Winds struggled to contain himself, wanting to save the tree but had to prioritize the subjugation of Kireina.

However, Kireina wouldnʼt wait for him to make a decision, as she suddenly released a massive magic power from the Orbs in her forehead and chest, summoning more than ten blasts of magic energy, that contained countless elements, but were covered in a thick coating of purple and dark colors.

BOOOOOM!

Although the Hero of Raging Winds managed to dodge in time with his unparallel speed, the soldiers surrounding him had terrible loses, as the powerful blasts of magic completely vaporized them to ashes, leaving colossal craters everywhere, with thousands of deaths in such a mere instant, the Hero quickly realized Kireinaʼs incredible power and presence.

For the first time he felt overwhelmed and feared for his life, however, bracing himself with the bravery of a Hero, Hammond enhanced his body using countless green winds as he flew at max speed towards the Dark Fairy.

FLASH!

While flying faster than a bullet, it took him less than a split second to reach Kireina, in which time he created four bursts of green winds, that suddenly tried to attack the Dark Fairy from all angles, while he attacked her from the front while creating a sword made of concentrated wind.

Although Kireina would have been able to dodge, she preferred to receive his attack and test his true power compared to her defenses, in that split second, she enhanced her armor even more, suddenly painting it with purple and dark colors, while her butterfly wings resembled giant bat-like wings made of steel.

As she received the four bursts of green winds from all her angles, Hammond used his Wind Sword to stab Kireina in the heart. However, once again, a powerful suction force from the scarlet gems in Kireinaʼs armor quickly absorbed the Heroʼs attacks, which in exchange, reinforced the Dark Fairy armor.

When the Hero glanced at her power with a stupid face of surprise, Kireina overlooked him from above, with a malicious smile.

Suddenly feeling an incredible killing intent, Hammond flew once again like a bullet, taking a good distance from Kireinaʼs embrace.

”Oh? Why are you running? I was about to hug you”

”A-A hug?! You demon! Donʼt you know how many [Epic] users have you killed today?! The whole Athetosea Kingdom is ruined now! You have only brought chaos and destruction! You are indeed worthy of your Title of Realm Me-”

Suddenly, Hammondʼs surrounding space began to quickly distort as Kireina manipulated the gravity surrounding him with her [Gravity Manipulation] skill. However, due to the Hero natural adaptation to flying, he wasnʼt confused enough to fall to the ground.

Kireina only needed that little distraction to pounce towards him as she transformed into a blinding light of multiple colors, flying at an incredible speed that even rivaled him, she suddenly summoned a golden Odachi as she slashed the Heroʼs chest, releasing a powerful and devastating attack of purple lighting, that devastated any humans who were close enough.

To the Dark Fairy surprise, Hammondʼs figure quickly dissipated as she realized that it was nothing more than a wind illusion. She suddenly sensed the Hero presence once again in a fair distance from her, while panting tiredly.

”(I-I almost died! E-Even after my stats are tripled thanks to Aldoris sacrifice, she has an incredible advantage over me in almost every aspect! How can I possibly win?!)”

As the fear for the beautiful Dark Fairy grew inside of the Heroʼs heart, Kireina glanced at him with a playful and almost cute smile.

”Oh? Where is my meal going? Fufufu…”
