Epic of Caterpillar

.

As I laughed evilly, the Slugs began to sweat profoundly. And not because they were nervous, they were melting away. The hot steam around here was still here, and it was beginning to melt them. The little ones began dying in masse, but the big ones could channel starlight barriers around their slippery bodies to protect from elements, so I guess they've got more tricks than I had originally imagined, huh?

Ding!

[You have slain [Desert Piranha Slug (Rank C++)] x97!]

[You gained 970000 EXP]

97 gone just from the passive damage from the hot steam. These guys are really weak when it comes to this hot steam business. Maybe opening a hot spring in the middle of the desert wouldn't be that bad of an idea.

"GRUOOHHHH!"

The Giant Slugs desperately started to shoot Starlight Lasers at me, but I quickly summoned shields out of Aquamarine's own body by infusing my MP into her and started combining them with Shadrach's [Fiery Parry], the combination created a new power…

The flames combined with the fire and then the ice created mirror-like shields, which reflected a small portion of the Starlight Lasers back to the slugs that were firing them. In that moment, they were quickly hit with multiple tiny lasers, doing little damage, but giving me enough time to close into them and then swing Shadrach with all my fury!

"[Wyvern Soul Fire Aura] + [Wyvern's Blazing Claws] + [Wyvern's Blazing Breath] + [Blazing Blade Slash] + [Draconic Heat] = [Blazing Dragon Meteor]!"

Using the power of combining Skill effects, a new Ability was born, the culmination of all of Shadrach's offensive Skills generated a change within his very structure, his shape changed, from a wyvern to a fiery, blazing dragon, which quickly pierced through the barriers made of Cosmic Energy and sliced apart several Giant Slugs at once with a blazing, explosive draconic fury!

SLAAAAASSSHH!!!

FLUOOOSH!

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

The explosion alone shook the entire cave, as little slugs died by the dozens while the big ones died in large sums as well, EXP quickly flowed through my body and soul.

Oh nice, two levels out of it!

"GRUOOOHHHH!"

As I leveled up yet again, I saw several Giant Slugs beginning to fuse behind me. I stood still trying to see what they were planning to do, until I noticed one of them was carrying a shiny blue gem, putting it in the middle of their fused mass of a body.

FLAAAAASH!

A flash of bright cosmic light emerged from within the mass of combined slugs, as they suddenly underwent an evolution, similarly to the Mountain Beetle Queen that turned into a Swarm Queen!

TRUUUUMMMM…!

The entire surroundings continued shaking. The cave started to collapse, as the monstrous slug didn't confronted me directly but dug its way into the surface! Was it trying to run away from me after getting a powerup?! Come on, that's not how it works!

"Hey, where are you going?!"

I quickly stretched my hand, grabbing its tail. However, when I grabbed it and pulled down, several tiny slugs, of a new color, blue, emerged one after the other, shooting starlight lasers at me!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Ugh! Damn it, that thing can duplicate so easily now?! Get off! [Blazing Dragon Meteor]!"

I swung my blade vertically, impacting the ground below me and unleashing a gigantic shockwave of flames and rubble everywhere, the slugs were quickly taken over by the explosive attack, incinerated on the spot as I quickly jumped off into the surface while piercing through the rubble without issues!

CLAAAAASH!

With the sound of the entire collapsing behind me and the many other critters I left burning and dying there, I saw the giant slug just as I received more EXP.

Good thing I've got my friends in here to lend me a hand.
