Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2433: The Only Thing Left Is To Fight

Matsuo screamed while crying as he ran across dozens of demonic snakes, conjuring two enormous swords made of holy light as he began using his very soul to unleash his magic power.

"GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

He slashed apart the snakes as they came, making Koga Saburo glare at him again while he delighted himself glancing Frank\'s last moments.

"Bastard... Even now, trying to cling to hope? Your friend shall soon die, and all of you will follow him!"

Saburo rushed towards Matsuo, noticing that several of his burning wounds had yet to regenerate. The flames he was burned with were stronger than he imagined.

But it didn\'t matter, the job was done, and his master would reward him with giving him a living vessel to fully revive!

"Once I\'m done with this, I shall take my revenge against the Koga Family!"

CLAAASH!

As he swung his giant claws against Matsuo\'s back, suddenly, a crimson blur appeared in front of him, as he blocked him from killing Matsuo.

"I won\'t let you kill them!"

"The Vampire woman?!"

Saburo groaned furiously, attacking Harumi with his claws and then unleashing dozens of snakes from his body towards her.

"Stop!"

Harumi\'s eyes shone brightly as all the snakes dropped into the floor instantly, completely paralyzed thanks to her Vampiric Eyes special Curse.

"Guh?!"

Koga was also paralyzed, groaning as his hands trembled angrily, Harumi rushed forward, conjuring a giant spear made of blood.

"{Scarlet Spear}!"

"Y-You damn foreigner demons! Japan belongs to... us!"

CRAAASH!

"Guuuaarrgghh!"

Koga Saburo screamed in agony as his chest was pierced by Harumi\'s gigantic spear made of blood, sending him flying away while her spear exploded right after!

BOOOM!

"Uuuaarrghh!"

As the Demonic man screamed in agony, he dropped into the floor, covered on larger wounds than before, and with a giant hole inside of his chest.

"Ngh...! Hah... Hahah...!"

The wound was enormous and even his heart had been destroyed, yet he still was alive, he glanced inside of his flesh, his wound.

And what he saw were countless, hundreds of smaller snakes forming and multiplying, slowly beginning to interconnect to regenerate him.

"Truly... the Calamity Snake\'s curse is eternal... his hatred... endless!"

"He\'s regenerating already?!"

Harumi rushed towards him, quickly unleashing dozens of spheres of blood and making them explode through her Blood Bomb spell.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions kept Koga Saburo on place, mitigating his regeneration, which seemed to grow faster the more physical abuse and damage he received.

It was as if his curse evolved and became worse the more he suffered...

"FRANK!"

Meanwhile, Matsuo finally reached Frank, swinging his blades and slicing apart the snakes biting his body, his pale white skin had already turned purple, and the cursed marks over Frank\'s body were glowing red.

"RAAARR!"

As Matsuo killed the snakes, he noticed little Ruby appearing and bombarding them with explosive fireballs, helping him defeat them swiftly.

"A-Aaagh...! Uggh...!"

Frank started convulsing in agony as blood started coming out of his mouth, nose, and ears, his eyes were turning red, the poison injected inside of him was too much.

"Frank, hang in there!"

Matsuo screamed in horror, as he quickly took out a Holy Scroll from his pocket and opened it, revealing dozens of holy runes inside.

"I\'ll have to use this; it doesn\'t matter if I get scolded later!"

FLAAASH!

The runes glowed brightly, flying out of the scroll and rotating around Frank\'s body as Matsuo cut a small piece of his soul, making him feel excruciating pain, as he sacrificed it to

the runes.

"Amaterasu-no-Mikoto! I offer you a piece of this loyal priest\'s soul as a sacrifice! Please, heal my friend! Don\'t let him die!"

The runes absorbed the small soul fragment, glowing brightly, turning into a huge red, golden, and orange-colored rune resembling a rising sun.

The rising sun reached Frank\'s chest, fusing with it and infusing his entire body with a wave of pure, purifying sunlight that rapidly started burning the curse.

His skin began to slowly turn from purple to white again, and the curse spreading through his

body was purified...

"A-Ah...! Ugh...!"

The visions that Frank was seeing began to disappear, as his eyes opened wide, realizing his

body was fine and healed.

"W-What happened...?! Ah! Matsuo?!"

"Thank... goodness you\'re ok... man."

Matsuo was on the floor, looking about to pass out due to the exhaustion he felt after

sacrificing a piece of his soul.

"Please... Frank... I can\'t... I\'ll soon pass out... You must... kill him... the only way out.. exorcize Koga Saburo... his Demonic Spirit must reach Nirvana...!"

Matsuo gave Frank his golden staff.

"I\'m sure my goddess... Will approve of you using the holy staff... She is... quite fond of you

after all."

"Matsuo..."

Frank saw Matsuo\'s eyes closing, as he barely was breathing.

He had to get him out of here quickly, before he was to fall into a permanent coma.

"I understand, Matsuo...! Ruby, please take care of him! I\'m going alone!"

"Raarrr?!" Ruby wanted to come along.

"Don\'t worry about me!" said Frank, holding the holy staff. "When I fought him, I think I

figured out his weakness... Something deep within him that must be targeted for him to

finally die!"

Frank started running across the sea of snakes, using Matsuo\'s staff, he was able to transform his Gray Magic, which lacked an element, into pure holy sunlight.

Beams of sunlight were fired from the staff, destroying the snakes, vaporizing them into mere

ashes one after another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"The true versatility of Gray Magic is its ability to connect to other elemental sources and absorb their element," Frank realized another of his magic\'s truths. "As long as I can...! Ugh!"

However, his head started throbbing as he fought and ran to help Harumi. The images he saw were no mere dreams, they were true memories of things he lived.

He started crying out of nowhere.

"K-Kireina... Why do I remember her? What\'s... going on? Wasn\'t she a student in my class? Why do

I... remember a life with her?"

Frank was wondering this, but he quickly decided he couldn\'t falter, as several snakes

attacked him.

"SHYAAAH!"

"Ugh!"

He fired beams of light, pulverizing them one after another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"I\'ll have to investigate what\'s happening later...! First, I must save my friends!"
