Epic of Caterpillar

"Ariant is right, we have to fight as well, everyone!" Eriant said. "After you've eaten the gifts of our friend, how can you believe you are allowed to slack off? The people of the desert will always repay the goodwill of others a hundred times!"

The twins guided and led the people, as the soldiers and guards cheered in unison.

"Yeah… we have to fight!"

"Let's do this!"

"Let's go!"

"I have to protect my village, even more now that we are under the protection of that beautiful and sacred tree, a gift from our friend the goddess!"

As I saw them all inspired for battle, I couldn't help but smile. They're indeed quite motivated, but with their current strength, only Ariant and her brother can do much. Maybe her grandmother too…

So, obviously, I must help. By using the powerfully and amazing new Skill [Yggdrasil Spirit] I channeled my power into the enormous Yggdrasil Tree I created. There was a hidden power when you make an actual Yggdrasil Tree and used the Skill, it helped you channel your power and Mana into it and literally create the Yggdrasil Spirit.

FLASH!

I expanded this Spirit of Yggdrasil like a wave of green energy and infused it into all of the fighters. They had already done the bare minimum and ate some of the fruits, that's more than enough to make them good recipients of this energy, which also enhanced their stats, like a buff spell.

FLAAAAASH!

"O-Oh?!"

"What is this light?"

"I feel stronger now…"

"Much stronger!"

"Everyone, this is the Blessing of the Yggdrasil Tree I've created! Your stats have increased and your skills are several times stronger! Use this power to join forces with my monster army and protect your town!" I roared, quickly helping them all feel motivated, even more as I used the [Commanding] Skill that actually makes those I command stronger too.

Feeling motivated, they rushed into battle, quickly realizing their attacks became stronger. Their weapon techniques easily sliced through the body parts of the large, four-meter-big at minimum corrupted Chaotic Walking Cactuses, while the twins were devastating everything like a storm of slashing attacks and fire magic.

Meanwhile, even the villagers were helping, everyone knew the bare minimum of earth magic, and led by the twin's grandmother, began to reinforce the walls and also conjure boulders, firing them using the [Boulder Blast] Spell, and landing enormous boulders over several foes, crushing them to death as well.

And well, all above the skies, the battle continued. The Blue Genie was looking from very far away inside a spiraling tornado of sand, or a sand tornado, or a sandstorm, well, whatever it was. Meanwhile, Sol Alter was unleashing his edgiest power yet, as he was covering himself with even more darkness.

His hair quickly turned completely black and so did his eyes. Only his skin was as white as candlewax, and even that was gaining several black tattoos all over his face resembling shadows. His entire armor grew monstrous and demonic, and he even gained bat-like wings made of black metal from his now living armor.

…Wait, the armor!

"Luminous, it's the armor!" I said, as Luminous panicked face was showing clearly that he didn't knew what to even do with this situation.

"The armor?! Right… I can detect it; it feels like it is alive!" He said.

"We have to purify Sol's armor and then break it with our strongest blows. Don't worry about breaking a few bones in the process, I'll heal them later anyways." I said with a nod.

"I get it…!" Said Luminous.

"I am also helping, Kireina! Don't forget about me!" Fiere confronted me, as she was sitting over Luminous shoulders, she was holding into her Magic Bow named [Blazing Dragon Eye] and was wearing some magic equipment we had grind in the Dungeon back then. She was even wearing the expensive Pegasus Boots, which allowed for the [Flight] Skill. I guess she was fully armed for aerial battle with us!

"Alright then, just don't get too close. Act like the archer you are and fire from afar!" I said.

"Understood!" Fiere seemed decided to free Elfina's servant.

It was quite clear Elfina had some sort of romantic interest for Sol, so perhaps Fiere wanted to help him as well because she knew how important he was for her.

"Darkness… I only see darkness… There's no hope… My life has always been… just pain…"

Sol began to mutter as his eyes shone bright red. His hands began to exude pure obscurity as black phantom flames gathered all around him, several enormous spheres of them, they were all Overpowering Sun!

"You two, prepare your strongest attack, we'll have to attack fire… with fire! White!"

"Alright!"

While Black offered support behind me like a guard and Aquamarine shapeshifted into my armor to defend me from Fire Attribute Damage of immense intensity, I was mainly using White due to her great affinity with light and the ability to purify things. And now, I quickly imbued into her the [Holy Flames] Skill!

FLUOSH!

White's entire body was imbued with enormous quantities of Holy Flames, as I combined them quickly with another devastating Skill I had acquired by eating an Ego Weapon I had created back then in the War against the Humans…!

"[Holy Flames] + [Blazing Meteor] + [Purification] + [Arrows of Light]!"

FLAAASH!

I combined the power of both my own Skills and White Skills by concentrating them all into her. Ego Weapons have the fantastic power of letting their master's channel the power of Skills into them to let them merge the effects together, and right now, I was merging it all and using White as if she were more like a staff than an actual Spear!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

At the same time as Sol conjured his Black Overpowering Suns, I conjured ten Blazing Meteors encompassed on holy purifying light and holy flames! And then merely unleashed them all against Sol!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!

Countless explosions of holy flames and black flames clashing against one another resonated across the skies, as Luminous and Fiere, and even those below us were all left flabbergasted!

Yeah, this is how we fight in Genesis, get used to it!
