Epic Of Caterpillar

However, David committed a terrible mistake, thinking that what he was fighting had any type of humanity in it. He thought that it would wait for his attack and take it like a chivalrous knight or the humans he fought every day would.

But this wasnʼt the case, as the Rainbow Slime didnʼt await any moment after eating the Phoenixʼs Talon and released all the energy is absorbed into a massive yellow beam towards David, which blasted him like a bullet into hundreds of meters away.

BOOOOOOOOM!

”Guuuaaaaaahhh!”

David quickly felt its entire armor being completely vaporized as he took the beam head-on, even with all his passive skills making his skin, flesh, and bones stronger, he felt a terrible burn enveloping his entire body, even if he was the Knight that represented Fire, he wasnʼt immune to it yet, as he hasnʼt received the complete blessing of the Demi-God of Fire.

After losing consciousness, David was woken up by a sudden chilly feeling that covered his entire body. Which quickly recovered all his burned skin and flesh, and he even felt as if he regained new Stamina and MP.

When he opened his eyes, he found the cute but worried face of the Half-Salamander Girl, which was surrounded by his demi-human subordinates. Suddenly he remembered Wallaceʼs horrible death and the massacre of all his troops due to that Rainbow Slime. It wasnʼt a dream at all, all of this really did happen.

”Blaire… How are things going? What about the monster?!”

”Sir David! Iʼm so glad youʼre still alive!”

Instead of answering his questions, David was suddenly embraced by Blaireʼs warm arms, as she started to cry on his shoulders.

”Uuhh… W-We escaped! Lady Emma and Beatrice sacrificed their lives for us! That monster was too strong… The ladies knew that something odd was going on as the soldiers began attacking and raping each other… Only us demi-humans were unaffected… The ladies said that the Kingdom was doomed and that we needed to escape! Snif… So, we are going back to your family, and then going very far away! Snif… Snif…”

Due to all this news, David was destroyed inside. The thought of his two beloved wives sacrificing their lives for him made him want to kill himself in impotence over his weakness. Even worse was the fact that he was carried unconscious by his subordinates to quickly escape, saving his life and sacrificing that of the ones he wanted to protect.

David never wanted for others to sacrifice his life for him, but always saw himself as their shield, and that one day he would be the one who would protect their lives with his own.

However, things were different, he barely survived, and while being unconscious, his friends and subordinates sacrificed their lives to carry him towards a caravan, while his two wives fought the monsters on his place, creating some time for him to survive.

Davidʼs body was extremely tired, even after Blaireʼs healing, his muscles itched in pain and he could barely breathe, yet, in his efforts, he tried to move. However, he was received by the bones on his knees quickly cracking and breaking apart, causing him immense pain.

At this, Blaire yelled at him while her tears covered her red cheeks.

”S-Sir David, please be careful, you need to rest! Almost all your bones were completely turned into ashes! It took so long for you to recover, even after using every drop of my MP, it wasnʼt enough to regenerate your body completely, please rest! Your body is in a very delicate state, you will break apart at any moment!”

”B-But I!!! I need to do something! I canʼt keep being here, while Emma and Beatrice… I need to save them!!! I canʼt keep being in here! I JUST CANʼT!”

For the first time, David began to cry intensively, releasing a river of tears, and tightly hugging Blaire. As Blaire, received his sudden embrace, she caressed his back as she slowly conjured a spell to make him fall asleep.

”We cannot let you die, Sir David… You are our only hope…”

Meanwhile, back on the battlefield, a terrible scene unfolded. After an impressive battle were the twins showed their amazing talent and skills, gaining enough time for David and Blaire to escape, the Rainbow Slime managed to defeat Emma and Beatrice, impaling both with a Dark Lance and a Blue Blade.

The power that the combination of Kireinaʼs six Slimes showed was beyond anything these humans have ever seen and were quickly overwhelmed by her might.

The blonde twins died with a happy smile, as the last thing they saw was their beloved husband David escape from this horror.
