Epic of Caterpillar

Clash!

Suddenly, as we watched the chimera creatures in silence, Elfina ended kicking a small stone which fell all the way down the stairs, hitting the floor. Dozens if not hundreds of the chimera creatures quickly noticed the noise, stopping their senseless slaughter and directing their eyes at us.

“Elfina, you ruined the surprise attack!” I sighed.

“I-I did?!” She asked in shock, as the monstrous creatures noticed us and then began to run our way.

All sorts of weird chimeras you could ever imagine began to run upstairs, I checked the status of many of them and found that they had combined skills from all the creatures they absorbed and unified with their main body, while the squid-like parasite was kept at the core, they were able to just catch and fuse with other things, now that’s a cheat! I want that power too!

You know what? These bastards and their overpowered abilities really piss me, its Roll time. I immediately activated [Roll] and then used the power of [Telekinesis] to boost my speed! I covered myself in flames through [Holy Flames] for extra damage and then fell down like a blazing wheel, crushing through all the chimeras trying to get upstairs!

CRAAAAAASSSSSHHHH!!!

The sound of their flesh tearing apart against my powerful blazing spikes was delightful to my earing senses! (As I don’t even know if I have actual ears). I ran down all the way to floor 8 where I was meet with a path filled with flesh and blood splattered everywhere, these guys were all low ranked mobs, probably around E Rank, so I was able to take them down with a single fell swoop!

Ding!

[You gained 60000 EXP!]

[Level]: [32/50] [EXP]: [67000/340000]

I had crushed six of them, so 10k for each is not bad at all! However, I cannot distract myself with the EXP, there is fresh EXP right in front of me as well… And a big guy behind the smaller chimeras, the giant one eating the Barbarian Monkeys, he looks like a giant meatball of horror made out of many limbs, faces, and eyes, holy shit this guy is ugly! I do often take ugly forms but I believe there’s some gracefulness and elegance to them, this guy just didn’t even took that into consideration.

Although I attempted to watch his Status through [Appraisal] three Chimeras hopped over me at the same time, quickly stopping me from doing anything at all. The three bastards had different shapes, one looked like a weird frog chimera with various insect legs stuck to its stomach, and the long tongue was in fact a very gross tentacle, the second was like a giant monkey, but his arms were made out of many monkey arms instead, and the third was a bat-like creature, with tentacles everywhere as if it were some sort of fashionable ornament.

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, I felt the power of an invisible energy clashing against me, the frog chimera conjured it in an instant, this was [Psychokinesis], and he had it at Level 3, not so big for someone with [Telekinesis], a vastly superior version with even more MP than you!

TRUUUUMMM…!

I countered the frog’s [Psychokinesis] with a Telekinetic blast of invisible energy, as a shockwave of telekinetic energy was unleashed and spread out through the surroundings, the frog suddenly felt dizzy but the other two weren’t going to let me pick him up so easily. I immediately attempted to take him down using [Roll] but the monkey swung a gigantic club it had made from bones and flesh tendrils, clashing against me, and throwing me into the wall like a fucking baseball!

CLAAAAASH!

BOOM!!!

The walls behind me cracked as I felt deep into a hole. I had barely taken damage though, as I was tough as hell, but that bastard really made me mad. I immediately flew back to him, this time he swung the club again, but I evaded swiftly through [Acrobatic Maneuvers] and then improved my speed through [Roll] all while charging my spikes with venom and hardening them through [Harden], and lastly firing them as tracking missiles through [Spike Attack]!

He giant monkey chimera smirked maliciously as it swung the giant club, thinking it could easily fend off the spikes, but they kept stuck in the club, only for them to begin to mysterious glow bright red… yes, this is [Explosive Limb Projectile]!

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

“UGRYYAHH…!”

The giant monkey gave out a pitiful groan of agony, the explosion burst out his giant arm and a large chunk of his entire torso, the parasite kept alive somehow, but not for long as I flew down below and began to crush through his entire body and brain, killing the parasite on the spot through the abuse of [Roll]! And while doing so, I took the time to slaughter the slightly dizzy frog, getting a nice amount of EXP out of these stronger guys.

CRAAASH!

Ding!

[You gained 40000 EXP!]

[Level]: [32/50] [EXP]: [107000/340000]

Woah alright, these guys are packing a good amount of EXP! Both of those were 20k each, nice! Now, who’s next-

Before I could move, I had completely ignored the bird-looking chimera who had suddenly conjured a new psychic power I had not seen before, an enormous quantity of ice fell down over me, this was [Cryokinesis]!

My entire body began to freeze at an immensely fast speed, and I couldn’t move an inch! Before too long, I would take the Status condition of [Frozen] and that would only fuck me over at the end!

“LIGHT BREATH!”

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

However, the cavalry finally acted! Luminous flew down valiantly, carrying Elfina wielding Black and White and Fiere, all while a mass of water suddenly jumped out of Luminous while his Light Breath hit the bird and crushed it into the ground, burning through its body and almost killing him. Of course, the mass of water that came afterwards from his head was Aquamarine, coming to aid me. He covered the entire bird as if he were a slime, and quickly stopped the creature from moving. I unleashed several [Fireballs] and broke through the ice, Rolling through the skies and reinforcing my spikes through [Harden] as I managed to pierce through the bird’s chest!

CLAAAASH!
