Epic Of Caterpillar

This man, named Gustav Gifford, was originally a renowned mercenary leader, who was noticed by a Noble family and promoted to Knight General, after countless battles, he awakened his [Epic] skill and instantly became a Champion, receiving the [Legendary] Relic [Earthʼs Anguish], a massive pair of claws that covered his entire arms, they had three giant claws made of a [Divine Material] and had the capabilities to slash and tear anything. Coupled with his years of experience in battles and his immense inhuman strength, he was recognized as one of the strongest Champions.

And thatʼs all I know about the old man. He held immense strength and was able to fight the titan that is Truhan on equal terms, however, Celica was constantly disrupting him and helping out Truhan. The pair didnʼt have any shame in helping each other as this was a war and not a chivalrous battle of one against one.

Gustav rushed through the battlefield and using his immense arms, clashed over Truhanʼs Axe, creating a thunderous shock wave. Meanwhile, Celica jumped over him while using her [Stealth] coatings and shadow cloaks, slicing the manʼs back with her [Legendary] Daggers.

It seems that he doesnʼt have many detection abilities, at least not advanced enough to detect Celica, he could only react when he was already slashed. At this, he would try to demolish Celicaʼs head with a single punch, but would usually fall as Truhan would stop him from doing so, smashing the man into oblivion with his overwhelming strength.

Although Gustav managed to keep on with Truhan, Celicaʼs disruptions were a variable that he didnʼt put into consideration and were being slowly drained off his energy.

Although my servants were having a hard time, I was confident in the strength. All these days and months of training wonʼt be for anything. All of them have grown into reliable warriors, and I shall await the time when they bring me the corpses of the Knights and Champions.

Now that the Earth Knight was killed by me and the Holy Knight was killed by Evan, I directed my attention to the Gemstone Knight, who was currently protecting herself from my army inside a dome made of colorful gemstones.

Saeko Hoseki was currently being surrounded by my troops combined with the berserk humans. She didnʼt have the strength to fight them all by herself and lacked a [Legendary Team]. Her Gemstone Magic seems to be specialized in defense and support. She was currently protecting herself while slowly creating hundreds of Gemstone Golems to fight off my troops.

While being coated in my Illusion Magic and the series of [Stealth] skills, I watched the scene. My troops were currently destroying the Gemstone Golems, which were quite frail compared to Stone golems, however, they possessed lighter bodies and could jump around and have more speed. These golems had a humanoid figure, similar to a doll or mannequin, women would have a long dress made of gemstones and wield lances, while men had a rough gemstone armor and wielded axes.

However, even with their fast movements and occasional magic, they werenʼt able to stop my highly trained soldiers and the wild and berserk humans. My units protected themselves with their Illusion Fabric equipment, camouflaging while doing lethal attacks in their joints or necks, while the berserk humans attacked like a pack of savage wolves, without caring about personal safety and demolishing the Golems.

Seeing that they werenʼt having a hard time except for the endless flood of Gemstone Golems, I quickly shapeshifted myself into a scarlet slime and using [Earth Manipulation], I swam through the dirt of the battlefield as if it were water.

When I reached the area were the Gemstone Knight was, I slowly extended a part of my body towards the surface, to see her state inside of the dome she has created.

Inside, I found a small girl wearing scarlet armor, she had a small complexion and an adorable pale white face, she had rainbow eyes and scarlet hair, she was crying in fear and desperation, while constantly conjuring more Gemstone Golems.

”Ghh! Gemstone Golem! Gemstone Golem! Ggghh… Snif, snif… Gerard… Gerard… How could you die? Snif, snif… Someone, please save me…”

Saeko cried desperately as I approached slowly towards her, slowly expanding my slime body like a scarlet mantle.

”Snif… Gera- …Huh?”

When she noticed that I a scarlet mantle made of viscous slime was near her, it was too late, as I jumped over her entire body and entangled her with my Slime body.
