Epic Of Caterpillar

”Ohoho… Youthful love! Kireina-sama, youʼre finally back!”

”It is nice to meet you, Ligurian. I was a little bit surprised when my son freed himself from my grasp and immediately flew towards your son… I suppose heʼs not the little boy that was always scared of everything like before…”

”Ohoho, indeed, my Ervin was also quite shy”

”Anyways, we have come to leave a Teleportation Gate to my Empire, now that Iʼve finally conquered the Dungeon… here, make sure to answer all the questions that the pretty demon ladies ask you guys,” I said, as I created a Teleportation Gate in the middle of the Village.

”So itʼs finally time to move out! My old bones are trembling with excitement to see the outside world! I am truly lucky to have survived enough to one day see it!” said Ligurian, as he called his village to pack everything up.

I decided to leave Aarae with Ervin, most likely because if I tried to take him with me, he would get very angry. I also left most of my family with the rest, instructing the people, and going back to the Empire on their own. I had another place that I wanted to go first.

Vudia and Ailine quickly entered the gates, hurrying it up to meet with Acathea in the Empire, so Rimuru and Brontes followed them so they wouldnʼt get lost or something.

Only Zehe, Alice, and Vajrara remained at my side, the other Vampires such as Keenan, Caedmon, Cassandra, and the rest went to the Empire to support the registration process that the Secretary Succubus had to do to over one thousand new citizens. Mao and Wall remained inside of my body, while the ten Chimeras went to slack off in the Empire.

”Iʼm going to sleep for a week, Nyarr! It is really tiring when you transform, you grab all our powers with it… Nyarr… At least pay me!” roared Catterpillar as I saw him crossing the Teleportation Gate.

Shiny, the Golden Wyvern Chimera roared in affirmation, while carrying Catterpillar on its back.

”Catterpillar, donʼt be insolent with the Holy Mother,” said Eldritch Goat, crossing the Teleportation Gate as well.

”Where are we going now, Honey?” asked Zehe, curious about our next destination, while Alice tightly grabbed my hips, Vajrara had entangled her snake tail around us as well.

”Well, they arenʼt exactly an intelligent race, but the different species of Dryads that we fought in the second Biome, which was a giant Jungle, could be useful in a variety of ways in the Empire, for the easy production of vegetables…”

”Ah! Itʼs true, those Dryads were so varied, some even produced vegetables and even sweet syrup!” said Alice.

”Dryads? I have never met such creatures, I wonder if they could be of use to worship you, Master Kireina!” said Vajrara.

”Weʼll see, I am planning on enslaving them if things go to worst”

As I said this, we teleported in a flash towards the Second Biome, which made floors 11 to 20.

A vivid jungle filled our sight as different types of birds and other animals that lived over the trees made out this Biomeʼs background sound.

Using the Dungeon Map, we quickly moved towards the settlements where the Dryads stayed. We first stopped beside large pools where Seaweed Dryads lived in, such subspecies were named Flow Kelp, their bodies had a dark green coloration and were covered in kelp leaves, they had gloomy expressions but were often fierce, setting up traps to catch prey with their leaves and devour them.

Using ʼWater Manipulationʼ, I moved all of the water from the pools, revealing the surprised Flow Kelp alongside several other monsters living there, some struggled to breathe.

The Flow Kelp didnʼt know how to speak, but as I released my presence, they became stiff like rocks, quickly subduing to me, immediately being enslaved by my Titles as the System notified me of this.

The Flow Kelp then stood up and began to follow me like ducklings… they were around fifty if each pool population was counted.

”I-Impressive! To be expected of Kireina-sama!!!” Said Vajrara, who was mildly bewildered by such an easy demonstration of power, a large group of fierce demi-human-type monsters subdued to me without any complaints.

”These Dryads are very interesting, I wonder what kind of delicious types of soup we could make by harvesting their leaves,” I said, and almost as if answering my orders, the Flow Kelp began to tear apart their leaves, offering them to me with smiles over their faces.

”Well… thanks”
