Epic of Caterpillar

Kireina and Rimuru, alongside Brontes and Alice rushed through the cold night, where a bloody slaughter was being unfolded, three demi-human women massacred Vampires, who were feared for their Superhuman Strength, Vitality, and Self-Regeneration as if they were mere flies.

By using her augmented senses and Aura, Kireina rushed towards the strongest vampire in the vicinity accompanied by Rimuru, while Brontes and Alice supported the rest of the centaurs who were being overwhelmed by Demonic Beasts and Low Ranked Undead, which were used as small armies for Vampires.

Castien, who thought that he had managed to slip off the grasp of the deadly women, was intercepted by Kireina, as his heart began to beat wildly, with cold sweat dripping through his neck.

"T-The Irregular!"

Kireina and Rimuru glanced at the renowned Vampire, who was originally an Elf with outstanding Magic capabilities as if he were a mere appetizer.

"Irregular?" Asked Kireina.

"Guuu���"

Castien, without knowing, had become completely paralyzed, as he sensed the air of his lungs slowly depleting, as he glanced at his surroundings, he noticed that space where he was had changed as if a deadly red and black colored atmosphere had suddenly taken the whole world…

A deadly presence, as if they were thousands of bloodthirsty beast surrounded Castien, the proud Vampire who used those of lower rank than him as sacrificial pawns saw himself as a little ant before the being… no, the monster that was in front of him…

Yet, even though it exuded such a pressure that would make anyone throw his pride away for a chance to escape and survive, it had a delicate and beautiful appearance, making the experience even more bizarre.

"What happened? Paralyzed already? I expected more of a Vampire that was leading a group of over thirty…"

"Gghh…!" Castien struggled for air, but he couldn't even move, even the automatic motion of breathing had been completely blocked by this overwhelming force.

The azure haired elf, which was Rimuru disguised by Kireina's Illusion Magic and an Illusion-Attribute item in the form of a ring, approached the Vampire with a curious smile.

"Hmm… Your Aura has something off… Better kill you before you show off any ability…" She said, as she invoked upon her powerful Spiritual Magic, generating countless colorful magic spheres, that began to drill on Castien's body, blood and flesh began to rain as he felt incommensurable pain.

"Gyaaaaaaaaahhh!!!"

"Oh, you managed to say something, guu…"

"Rimuru, get away!"

"Gu?!"

Flash!

Kireina, detecting something strange on Castien, graved Rimuru with her Aura, shaping it into a large hand, and protecting herself and Rimuru from the explosion of power… It had overwhelming energy and it was somewhat… familiar for Kireina.

"Divine Energy?"

The former Castien had completely changed his appearance out of nowhere, as his muscles bulged intensively, his skin was torn apart and the bloody and fleshy fibers of the muscles could be seen clearly, his whole head was left at the side, as a new and grotesque head made out of pure muscles and sharp fangs appeared, its legs, arms, and hands bulged intensively, constantly tightening and releasing hot steam.

"BUGYAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Castien, on his last moments, used the new "ability" that he gained after devouring the muscles of a Divine Beast, a monster that possesses high quantities of Divine Energy and that only resides in Higher Realms where only Gods are allowed to enter. The power was too much for a mortal, and the moment he released it, his body changed drastically, but his power seemed completely in another level from his previous self.

Kireina released a worried expression as she protected Rimuru with countless magic shields and her own Aura, afterwards, she manipulated a high quantity of Magic, generating hundreds of swords, lances, and axes, throwing them at the beast that once called himself a Vampire…

Flash!

The swords impaled the beast with great speed, even Castien with his new augmented senses wasn't able to evade, using his large and muscular arms to receive the damage instead, a bloody river was released from his arms as it received the rain of weapons. Surprisingly, against Kireina's expectations, he didn't end as a pile of minced meat, but surprisingly defended himself with Shield and Armor Techniques, increasing its defenses.

"BUUUGAAAAHH!" shouted Castien, as he pounced towards Kireina with incredible force, leaving a trail of bloody aura from its back, its body was completely covered in swords, but it seemed to not mind at all.

"Hmph… Explode!"

With a single command, the countless weapons that covered Castien detonated in blazing explosions, the beast was taken aback as it yelled in pain, its flesh and bones were shattered and torn apart, countless pieces of flesh flew around…

However, Castien was still alive, its body was completely disfigured at this point, but its vitality was inhumane. By using the latent Divine Energy on its body, it regenerated new limbs made out completely out of muscles and most of the wounds were healed in seconds…

"I'm not going to let you!"

Kireina didn't want to let him regenerate any longer as she released countless Curses from her eyes, inhibiting its regeneration, but it seemed to not affect it at all, the beast showcased complete immunity to Kireina's curses and most status effects, similar to high ranked Undead.

"BUUGEEHEHEHEHEHE!" laughed Castien… no, the beast as it released a powerful blast of bloody energy towards Kireina, it was completely charged with Divine Energy.

Kireina swiftly moved around and used her Aura, shapeshifting it into the mouth of a dragon, and devoured the energy by using [Divinity Devouring], thanks to leveling it up on her previous experiences, the Skill managed to digest the Divine Energy in time, giving a small boost to Kireina's power.

Castien approached with immense speed as it tried to pulverize Kireina with hundreds of Unarmed Martial Techniques by using its large arms and hands, however, it intercepted by Kireina herself as she was covered in a black-colored armor with spiky decorations and a dragon-like helmet. Despite her size, Kireina released countless techniques with her bare hands, as if her hands themselves were Swords, Axes, or Lances, they sliced and torn apart Castien's flesh while redirecting the force of its attacks towards him.

Extending her leg as if it were a tentacle, Kireina used a powerful Kick Technique, [Sadistic Heel Kicks], hitting the beast crotch with immense force repeatedly.

"BUUUUGYAAAAAA!"

Kireina used her new arms and legs at the same time as if her entire body were made out of sharp and heavy weapons, Castien's flesh was constantly being torn apart and its powerful techniques never managed to land on its target.

On its frustration, the beast released a powerful Aura that tried to take over Kireina's, however, she used her own Aura which surrounded the entire place they were enclosed in to counter, at the same time, hundreds of black-colored phantasmal hands surged from Kireina's Soul, beginning to tear apart Castien's soul.

"BUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAGYYYYYAAA!" shouted the beast, as it used its energy and incredible vitality to create new arms, four arms, six arms, eight arms, twelve arms, seventeen arms… As many as it created and used to released techniques, Kireina sliced, smashed, and torn them apart with her own Arts.

After fusing hundreds of techniques and Arts, Kireina gained new insight, and became a Master of techniques, she was able to use every weapon technique she has ever learned with her bare hands and body and coupled with her shapeshifting abilities, her Aura and her Armor, she was a living weapon.

Suddenly, as if they were in a small stale-mate, a giant rainbow-colored Claymore appeared from the above Castien, flying with a powerful rainbow of colors on its tail, it sliced Castien in half, from its head to its crotch.

Slash!

"GEEEEEHHH…!"

However, by showcasing and incredible vitality, the two halves released thousands of fleshy tentacles, trying to fuse before they could fall to the ground…

Slash!

But Kireina wouldn't let it, she was too cautious to let her enemies power-up or recover in front of her, in that moment of weakness that Castien was on, she went all out, releasing thousands of small Chaos-Attribute Bullets, and Alluring Martial Arts Techniques combined with Chimera Weaponization Techniques by using Mao and Wall who was residing inside of her body.

Giant claws covered in dark armor that exuded an endless pressure ravaged the dying Castien, slicing, smashing, and turning it apart, countless weapon phantoms came coupled with this barrage of savage attacks, as the Chaos Bullets hit the flesh of the beast, making the flesh explode instantly. However, even after this barrage, the monster regenerated viciously…

Rimuru then joined in, using her powerful magic, she materialized even more Multi-Colored Claymores that impaled the living flesh constantly, colorful spinning bullets pierced the flesh while rays of lightning burned it, imposing flames turned some to ashes while the ice froze the pieces of muscles and blood…

Seeing that even after all of this, a piece of flesh kept constantly generating new limbs while being torn off repeatedly, Kireina activated her Skill [Calamity Abyss Demon Limbs and Jaws] as out of nowhere, massive demonic hands appeared from thin air, the arms opened wide as they showed jaws filled with sharp fangs and tongues dripping with saliva…

"Be devoured!"

Crunch!

"BUUUUGYAAAAAAA!"

Crunch!

"BUUUGUGUGYAAAAHH!"

CRUNCH!

"BUGUUHH-"

CRUNCH!

The giant Claws mercilessly devoured the fleshy monster that was once a Vampire, slowly munching on its never-ending regenerative flesh, until the last bite…

A sudden silence fell over the space as it seemed to be over…

"M-Mastaa that was unexpectedly hard!" Said Rimuru.

"Hmph, thankfully I remained cautious till the end, you shouldn't approach an enemy as you did, Rimuru," Said Kireina, scolding her Slime Wife.

"Gugu… Sorry… I will be more cautious as well…"

Kireina patted Rimuru's azure-colored hair as the pair of beautiful maidens flew towards the floor, Kireina's Aura Domain was deactivated, revealing the outside world once again… The two began to grab on the pieces of struggling flesh that was walking away from them.

"These things are resilient… They're still alive…?"

Rimuru snacked on some and found them incredibly delicious.

"Hmmmh!"

In the middle of the fight, I encountered a handsome Vampire that ended up being possessed by a strange Divine Power, thankfully I managed to trap it inside of my Aura Domain and then with Rimuru's assistance, we managed to kill it…

It was rather hard to be honest, even though I could use more abilities, the thing constantly regenerated and seemed to be immune to curses and status effects, rendering my eyes useless. It also seemed to be able to control its own Crimson Aura and its punches packed a lot of strength.

By using my new techniques and skills, I was able to intercept its punches while slicing its limbs, slowly gaining the upper hand, in the end, I had to use one of the Calamity Abyss Demon Skills, the arms and jaws, to destroy it completely.

The only thing that remained was the thousands of pieces of flesh that it's lost after constantly regenerating and being sliced by me, they were surprisingly still alive, and held tremendous vitality.

I decided that they could become an interesting cattle animal if raised well and contained… so I decided to save at least fifty pieces in my Item Box, by freezing them with Ice Magic, they went into a cryogenic sleep, although I could still sense their vitality.

The other pieces were successfully captured and skewered, they were incredibly delicious and went well with rice and sweet Cactus Wine.

I gathered with my wives and had a nice dinner in the Resistance Headquarters using this meat, I just said that it was from a flesh monster, and most of the Centaurs tried it, saying that it was indeed very delicious, it seems that after losing the main body, the pieces of flesh can be killed more easily by burning or boiling them, so they were safe to eat even for weak people if given in small pieces.

And for the rest of the Vampires, I gave the pretext that my wives… no, my "sisters" burned them into ashes, however, we saved them all on our Item Boxes and we decided to feast on them later on.

It was still midnight, so most of the resistance members went to sleep and rest, the Centaur Twins went with Aegina and her mother towards a separate room to rest as well, and I decided to sleep a few hours with Rimuru while my other wives stayed on guard outside while snacking on the plenty of leftover flesh and other Demonic Beasts.
