Epic of Caterpillar

"Gotcha bitch."

I looked at her from above, as my red eyes opened wide, shooting beams of chaos against her while she was falling from the caves. At the same time, a Holy Dragon Breath reached her from Luminous, a deadly Chaos Dragon Breath from Bubu, a Blazing Dragon Arrow from Fiere, two enormous Gaia's Palms from Ariant and Eriant, and an Overpowering Sun from Sol, all together against her!

BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

Naturally, you cannot regenerate any more as fast without such an endless supply of Mana. Her quickly was completely decimated by the powerful divinity-imbued attacks of my party, who were already as strong as gods, and quickly destroyed her once and for all.

"GRYYYAAAAH! T-This can't be…! This can't… be…!"

FLAAAAASSSHHH!!!

A flash of bright light exploded from within her soul, as she completely dissipated. And right after that, the blue jewel possessing her, the Cosmic Stone Fragment, fell from the air into the ground, as if it were nothing but a mere piece of crystal.

Clank!

The Cosmic Stone Fragment fell right there. I have to get it before anything else happens! If it somehow falls in the wrong hands or if it tries to parasitize something else, or one of my allies, then shit's going to get even more serious.

I stretched a chaos-made tentacle and grabbed the stone. Suddenly, a flash of blue cosmic light emerged from within, as I saw countless bright stars in front of me. What seemed like some weird Cosmic Map appeared before my eyes…. What the fuck is this?

Some sort of route to… somewhere in space? I don't get it that well but… It feels odd! Is this stone alive? Why does it have a Cosmic Map? Where does it leads?

Well, I cannot really think straight right now. I quickly stored the stone inside of my Item Box, I didn't wanted to try out eating it or something and end up killing myself in the process. No thanks.

We quickly reached the ground with Bubu, as we saw the caves where we were standing seconds ago crumble apart completely. Nothing was left behind I guess. But that's for the better I suppose.

"Phew… We really did it…" Fiere sighed, sitting over the floor.

"This was… fucking tough." Sighed Luminous.

"Wow you said a slur?" I asked.

"What? I can't now?" Sighed Luminous.

He had really relaxed around us if he talks so leisurely now. I guess his almighty tone that seemed that he thought he was superior to us is pretty much gone now.

"Hahh… I never thought that Queen would take you so long. It seems you managed to defeat her though."

"You guys were right there in the moment I needed your strength, so it worked pretty well to be honest." I shapeshifted back to my butterfly form, falling over the floor.

It felt as if my body couldn't move a single inch anymore. My HP was slowly regenerating, but it was below 10%, a bit more and I might had died or something… I had to use my Uroboros Title to sacrifice my HP to gain more MP, enough to kill the Swarm Queen.

"Oh wow, is that Bubu?!" Asked Ariant.

"He had grown so BIG!" Said Eriant.

"And he's some sort of dragon thing?" Asked Ariant.

"Bubuuuh!" Bubu said pridefully, puffing his chest.

"Well that size won't last that long, it is a little buff he got, he'll go to three times less of a size after some time…" I sighed.

"Oh, well, you're still cool!" Said Eriant.

"Bubueheheh…" Bubu felt happy to be praised.

"Master! Are you okay? I was so tired and out of Mana I couldn't help but give the final strike." Colora appeared at my side.

"It's fine… You've helped a lot already." I told her.

"Phew…"

BAAAM!

Brunhild's enormous body made the entire floor tremble when her giant-sized ass sat over the ground, I guess she was tired as well.

"A-Alright, how about we eat something first before continuing?" I asked.

"I am super tired… I want to sleep too!" Brunhild complained.

"A small nap wouldn't be bad. But in here it is very exposed to monster attacks." Luminous said.

"Yeah, I agree, let's dig a small tunnel to hide, eat, and then nap for a few hours I guess. You guys deserve that." I said while nodding. I also wanted to nap, to be honest.

We quickly crawled our way back to the mountain and then, as we hid from enormous shadows emerging from the skies, which roared like wyverns while Bubu kept watch behind a rock, Ariant and Eriant used their magic to dig a tunnel over the mountain. Earth Spirits were very serviceable to them.

The only spirits I could command right now were the Yggdrasil Spirits Spiritual Essence which resided within the two Yggdrasil Trees I made so far. Maybe if I make some more I can get even more Spiritual Essence and fill this deserted land with life and plants… which it requires very badly.

"Thank you Desert Spirits." The twins thanked the spirits, as particles of brown and golden light slowly dissipated away.

With that, we quickly rushed inside the tunnel and after eating a lot of horribly tasteful bugs we got from the hunt, I began cooking meat I had in reserve from previous hunts. It was mostly meat of Desert Wolves, which was already pretty good anyways. I also made some salad using walking cactus flesh, and then a bone dragon broth using their flavorful bones and some meat pieces from desert wolves.

"And done! Eat to your heart's contents!"

"Yaay, I am starving…" Brunhild sighed, devouring everything. She was the one that ate the most.

"Thank you for the meal." The twins bowed their heads.

"Ah, this is comforting…" Sighed Fiere.

"This meat goes well with the cactus juice, I never expected that…" Luminous commented.

"Hm, it's no bad at all…" Sol continued eating in silence.

Without realizing, I barely had anything for myself! So I had to keep cooking while filling my stomach with disgusting bugs! Ultimately, I still managed to eat a lot of meat when Brunhild fell asleep.
