Epic of Caterpillar

143 Forsaken Labyrinth 6/6; Sand Wyvern High Overlord 2/2

Even though Nesiphae and Brontes were prepared with all their boosting abilities possible, and their own [Legendary] weapons to shield them, the impact of the attack was so strong that it still threw them various of meters away.

Thankfully, I had activated my [Azure Heavenly Sand Oceanic Fortress], which created the illusion of a massive fortress made of blue energy that protected them from most of the damage taken, without receiving anything that could endanger their lives.

Seeing the new dangerous form of the Wyvern, I decided to change plans as I told Brontes to remain on the backlines with the rest of my wives and children and attack the boss with her magic instead, because of I didn\'t want to endanger the child on her belly anymore, she has already exceeded what she was allowed to do. Although her body is incredibly sturdy, the powerful hits she has tanked could end up being detrimental for the child.

Using fifty Arms of Demise I barely managed to hold the Wyvern on the place as Rimuru and Brontes joined forces to combine their magic into a [Transcendent Spell], creating a massive void that summoned gigantic swords made of pure Omni Elemental Spiritual Magic with the size of over thirty meters each.

With a flash, the massive and lethal rain descended from the ceiling as if it were a judgment from the gods themselves. However, due to the Wyvern tenacity, it resisted them with its own skin while destroying my Arms of Demise that grabbed several of its body parts on the place.

As all of this was going on, I also joined the fight with Nesiphae, after being healed by Amiphossia, she regained her strength once again and used her abilities to become a titan for the second time.

Seeing how even with my three armors, weapons and techniques I won\'t be able to damage the boss good enough before it regenerates completely once again, I decided to use my transformation skill [16th Winged Demon Overlord], which when combined with the power of my gemstones on my forehead and chest, it made it possible for me to merge it with my armors, creating a brand new form that vastly increased my capabilities.

I suddenly became over thirty meters tall; my body became like that of a powerful demon lord and I gained 16 different wings of all colors and sizes. Alongside this, my six arms became long and muscular while gaining sharp black claws, alongside this, my armors melted with my skin, becoming completely part of my body. My head was covered on a furious dragon-like monster helmet that had six horns.

With this transformation, my weapons were also enhanced and became stronger and sturdier, while gaining a new size matching my new stature. The weapons gained a new luster and were covered on a dark armor.

Having gained a similar size to Nesiphae, we confronted the boss head-on, using my newfound strength I didn\'t contain myself at any moment, using all my six arms to slash, smash and crash my weapons over the giant Wyvern body. Meanwhile, my 16 wings were able to cast magic on their own and even command my Arms of Demise, helping me on the struggle that it was fighting such a monster with so much tenacity and vitality like this Wyvern.

I quickly noticed my amazing surge of strength that included an incredible bonus on my stats. With these new stats, I was able to tank on the monster hits without being thrown away while also inflicting heavy damage on the monster\'s sturdy rock-like skin.

However, as we got stronger, the boss did also. As if the Wyvern was evolving on the battle, every time it would reach a certain amount of health it would quickly draw power form the dungeon and regenerate, with this regeneration came the increase of his strength depending on how much damage it took, even to the point of gaining new resistances. Perhaps this was why this monster originally became so strong.

Although I tried to cut the Wyvern neck multiple times, it was incredibly dense and sturdy, even the combined effort of my Legendary Weapons was only able to barely make it bleed for some moments.

My wings conjured countless spells while distracting and dealing with the damage on its whole body. Meanwhile, Rimuru and Brontes weren\'t giving up at all, combining their magic into countless spectacles of amazing magical talent. With my help and [MP Share], they were able to draw MP from my almost endless pool of MP to quickly conjure spells without stopping, even going to the point of evolving their own spells into new and even stronger ones.

The two evolved their initial Transcendent Spell now generating even bigger weapons of several varieties like Axes, Lances, and such.

Even though I used my [Mystic Eyes] from the start, the monster quickly developed immunity to any status ailment and they became completely useless against him. However, I still discovered that there seemed to be an "error" on the system, or at least that\'s what I think because when the boss was soaked enough on Rimuru\'s or Gaby and Aarae magic, it would become vulnerable to Thunder, which Brontes was able to abuse to her heart\'s content, at that moment, the Wyvern would become [Paralyzed] for a small split second.

We used this split second as our opportunity, awaiting this moment of vulnerability, Nesiphae attacked the boss endlessly with her blazing axe without stopping at all, her face seemed to be incredibly tired and worried, but she still had an amazing determination on her gaze.

Receiving the support of Amiphossia\'s amazing healing capabilities, we managed to keep on going while leaving little time for the Wyvern to react to our attacks, even with its constant growth on strength, we also grew stronger fighting against him.

Suddenly, the opportunity was given as Gaby and Aarae now with the help of Adelle, Mady, Altani, Charlotte, and Lilith once again conjured a powerful flood of Icing Oceans, completely covering the monster body.

FWLOOOSH!

"GROOOOOWWWWR!!!"

And then, Brontes used all her amazing magic stat alongside the power of the environment as a spirit and conjured an amazingly strong Thunderstorm that summoned thousands of thunderbolts made of red lighting which entangled the boss resembling furious coiling dragons, electrifying the monster entire body and causing a momentary paralysis.

ZAAP! ZAAP!

"GROOOOOWWRR! GRRRAAAAAWW!!!"

"Now! Nesiphae, Rimuru, Zehe!"

"Uuuuoooooohhh!"

"Alright!"

"Guuuuu!"

I commanded Rimuru and Zehe to quickly cast their strongest Transcendent Spell once again, but this time they concentrated all the magic and projectiles into one single object, resembling a titanic claymore made of endless rainbows of darkness, it flew at an incredibly high speed towards the paralyzed Wyvern neck, specifically its spine.

FLASH!

BOOOM!

At the same time, Nesiphae used her entire Stamina and enveloped herself on an impressive intimidating aura of pure strength, resembling a goddess of war, her muscles gained an incredible mass as she began to breathe on a strange manner, increasing the beating of her heart. In a mere second, her Axe became even bigger, resembling the size of a small mountain. While being enveloped on countless purple flames of toxic mist alongside powerful red energy named [War Energy], she clashed her gigantic axe on the boss\'s neck from the right side.

CLASH!

Also, at the same time, I raised my three left arms that were holding my Nether Sword of Undying Pain, Ollathir Demon Sword, and Thunderstorm Odachi Raiou, which I previously enveloped on several coatings of magic. And then, I activated the skill [Sin of Lust Destructive Awakening] which gave me an incredible boost on all my stats based on how high my Charisma was, alongside this I activated [Love Connection], which raised my stats even more for a small amount of time, based on how many people loved me, like my wives and children.

These unique skills that came from the Sin of Lust evolution gave me enough strength to create an almost overwhelming aura that made the whole dungeon tremble as if it was about to fall apart. Raising my three massive arms, I clashed the three swords into one single point of the Wyvern, its neck.

CLAAAAAASH!

Using the power of all of us at the same time, attacking from three different directions, we aimed for the Wyvern neck, which was covered on several layers of incredibly sturdy rock skin and scales. The impact of three different and incredibly strong forces clashed on three different angles of the Wyvern, creating an earth-shattering shock wave.

The Wyvern as it was paralyzed, couldn\'t resist the impact as it saw its thick and almost indestructible neck beginning to slowly get sliced.

Massive amounts of blood began to sprout as our three different auras clashed against the tenacity of the Wyvern, who tried to use its own aura and regeneration capabilities to fight our attack.

However, he started too late, as our attacks penetrated half of the neck density, already slicing its flesh. After penetrating its hard skin, there was only a very plump and red flesh, which was sliced as if it were a piece of the most tender of fishes by the sharper of knives.

"GRROOOOOOOWWWWRR!!!"

SLASH!

The monster yelled to no avail as its head was completely cut apart, although its regeneration capabilities were absurd, he couldn\'t regenerate a new brain and neither had another one on its body, which finally ended on its inevitable doom.

CLASH!

The massive head clashed on the floor room as it created a tremendous earthquake. The head saw its entire body still standing as it slowly lost consciousness and died on the spot.

Ding!

[Your party has defeated a [Ancient Dungeon Guardian]

[You have been granted special benefits on the Dungeon]

[You have received a special reward prize: [Ancient Relic of The Wyvern Guardian of Sands]

[The God of Sand and Earth has rewarded you with a special commemorative prize]

[You have received a special reward prize: [Ancient Wine of the God of Sand and Earth]

It seems that I received the equipment from the boss, which actually didn\'t have a physical form, it seems to be a "soul bound" equipment as it disappeared when the dungeon boss died alongside its soul, which was sucked by the dungeon itself. The dungeon most likely uses the souls of monsters and adventurers to nourish itself.

The God that made this dungeon seems to be the God of Sand and Earth, and he was rather happy because he gave me a "commemorative" reward. It is a very good-looking wine that I will enjoy while devouring this boss.

After such a tiring battle that lasted several hours, we finally had our well-deserved rest. I made my Flesh and Slime Minions chop the boss into pieces for easier consumption. It seems that although its skin is incredibly hard, its insides are tender and easy to slice, so they sliced it from its insides, leaving the whole skin apart, which could be used to craft amazing armor or weapons.

The gigantic blade-like claws can become superb blades and swords, perhaps surpassing [Unique+++] into [Mythical] rank… I honestly can\'t wait to craft something with such high-quality items.

After going back to my original form, I healed my wives, mostly Nesiphae who has the one who took the most damage to the battle. She had some of her ribs broken and her arms were completely shattered as she used all her strength on the attack against the Wyvern neck. Thanks to Amiphossia\'s help, we quickly healed her wounds and made her bones go back in place.

After that, I sneaked on the gigantic corpse of the monster and began eating parts of its body, I even ate some of its shattered scales, alongside its eyes and horns and some of the deliciously tender and juicy meat. It was simply a marvelous product.

The meat was firm yet tender, melting inside of my mouth, it had enough grease to make it extremely juicy and flavorful. I could also sense an incredible amount of magic from this boss meat alongside a small taste of earth.

[Ancient Sand Wyvern Paralyzing Cry]

[Intimidating Pressure of the Ancient Wyvern of the Scorching Sands]

"Hmm, good enough"

Just by eating so little, I already got two skills… I really want to devour this whole thing now.

When everyone had their rest, I quickly took several pots and pans and began to cook for my whole family. Later on, Rimuru, Adelle, and Mady joined in and then Charlotte and Lilith helped too, in two hours, hundreds of plates were made using the magnificent meat of the Wyvern for everyone to eat and get stronger.

It was indeed a delicious meal, the preparations this time were very varied, from giant slices grilled with spicy and sweet sauce or hot pot made with different monsters\' meat alongside the Wyvern\'s, and even minced and then fried meat, creating gigantic and juicy burgers.

The feast lasted for almost the whole night, and with the commemorative prize of the God of Sand and Earth, everything was even more delicious, such liquor was truly that of the gods themselves, it will be very hard to drink the other liquors in the future…
