Epic of Caterpillar

Just as I celebrated my victory against the parasitized Rhinoceros, the bastard unleashed his power. It seems that this red and fleshy parasite granted him some psychic powers. Well, not like I didn’t had my own way to fight back against that, with my own [Telekinesis], of course. I quickly activated it the moment I was thrown into the ground and used [Roll] and [Harden] at the same time, clashing against him once more.

CLAAASH!

I felt the invisible energy covering his body inhibiting me from reaching through, it was very annoying! I put up more MP into my own [Telekinesis] constantly, until finally, due to a higher stats than the bastard, I went through his defenses and clashed against him!

However…!

FLASH!

His entire body flared up and turned red and orange, and began to unleash fire out of nowhere, clashing against me by using the Psychokinesis it had to give it even more speed and strength, the two of us clashed against one another. I had not expected a random encounter to be this mighty, these parasites are serious trouble.

CLAAASH!

“GRUOOHH!”

This attack the Rhinoceros was using must be his [Explosive Burst], it seems to be a skill that its about exploding, and each time the bastard clashed against me, it feels like an explosion. Can he overuse it all he wants though? I noticed his MP going down like crazy as we clashed, and then, it reached zero thanks to my MP Drain! I could had killed him quicker, but I want to save energies if possible, as there are more parasite monsters incoming.

“This as far as you go, rookie!” I roared, clashing against him once more and then opening my enormous jaws, unleashing the [Mighty Caterpillar Bite] and enhancing it through using [Harden] on my jaws, yes, this was actually totally possible!

CRUNCH!

“GRUUUEEAAAGH…!”

The Rhino gave out a disgusting groan as half his body (parasite included) were munched away by my giant jaws, [Mighty Caterpillar Bite] is just as mighty as ever! The corpse dropped dead in the floor as I munched down the flesh in my jaws and gulped it. The parasite was deader than dead anyways, so I am not getting parasitized back, hopefully.

Ding!

Heh, not bad at all, I am already getting through, I need… almost 250k for a level up, yeah, I need to beat more little shits to get things done. And there are many! While I was taking down the Rhino, a flood of monsters entered the room where we were resting, my group had no time to rest as I found them fighting against Barbarian Monkeys, Black Steel Rhinos, and a third new monster named Chimaera, which was also parasitized! This really reminds me of that time I visited that stupid Thunder Dragon Dungeon, he had a Parasite God in there parasitizing everything… Well, it might be different now, or is this déjà vu?

“Summon Familiar!!!”

Elfina suddenly wasted MP and summoned me right in front of her before I could reach her naturally, right in front of two enormous jaws closing at me. The little brat summoned me as a shield!

CRAAASH!

The jaws closed in against my body, they were the jaws of the giant Chimaera, as they quickly bit through my incredibly hard steel exterior and the poisonous spikes around me, which I reinforced using [Harden]!

“GRUUUAAAH!”

The Chimaera cried in agony as it quickly threw me off like garbage, he was really disgusted, I can tell! You bastard, did you really thought I was going to become your dinner? In your dreams! Not only was he damaged but he even took venom right into his mouth. However, this guy was the tougher of all the other mobs.

This guy had a pack of nice skills with him, and I really wanted to eat him up and get them for myself- but that was more than impossible right now, like, you know? I can’t get skills from what I eat anymore so that’s a big no. But if I could get back my Devour, I could be celebrating all these new Skills I could get, damn it. Well, nonetheless, this guy is packed and he’s a big threat. He’s strong, a D- Rank monster. He’s definitely not even strong like the Demon Lords, but he’s a tough beast to slay, I’ll have to go all out for this buddy.

The monster also had a lot of HP thanks to the bonuses that the parasite was giving to him, and there’s an even more dangerous Skill within his arsenal just as dangerous as the others…!

FLUOOOSSHHH!!!

Suddenly, the giant Dungeon Chimaera used it, as flames emerged all around his body, the parasite’s eyes shone bright red as they conjured the power of [Pyrokinesis]! It is different from normal [Fireball] because he got way more freedom in how to use this. It seems that by checking the other mobs, I realized that the parasite gave each one a [Parasitized Brain] Skill, which is related with Psychic powers somehow. Some had Psychokinesis, while others Telepathy and even Mind Attack, they’re dangerous and not conventional at all!

“Kireina, do something!” Elfina cried, as a gigantic fireball burst in my face.

BOOOM!!!
