Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 469 - [Scripted Event] [Moonfang Kingdom Conquest] 29/35: The Golden Lion Hero Against Two Best Friends! Drarus, The Golden Lion Hero Prince VS Lilith And Charlotte 1/2

-----

Drarus was one of the eldest children of Lionel, and the most promising.

His birth into this world was miraculous, as his mother had died before he was born.

Drarus mother was the previous Queen of Moonfang, and perhaps the only person that Lionel genuinely loved in his entire life.

She was an outstanding warrior and also a powerful magician, her strength was almost equal to Lionel himself.

However, in the middle of a war, where she led her troops, she was killed after killing thousands of soldiers. Lionel was not able to protect her… since that day, he became cold and threw away his emotions.

But miraculously, from the corpse of his mother, Drarus began to cry inside of her belly, Lionel quickly called medics and priests and forcefully extracted Drarus from within his deceased motherʼs womb.

Unlike the rest of Lionelʼs concubines, Drarus mother was a half-human and half lioness, who was raised by a faraway tribe of amazon woman, until one day she joined in the Moonfang Empire and enlisted as a warrior and a guard for the Kingdom, through her feats, she charmed the young Lionel.

Drarus was born from the love of her and Lionel, and the moment he was born, his golden aura could be clearly seen by everyone present… as the baby cried, his golden fur shined brightly and his aura, which was of the same color formed an arc, it was as if the sun had once again raised in the middle of the night.

It was as if a miracle made by the goddess Maeralya, the progenitor of all cat beastmen was occurring… and it was indeed the truth. Maeralya had blessed Drarus that day, as she detected that he was a ʼchildren blessed by fateʼ. She gave him her blessings and Drarus immediately obtained an Epic Skill, becoming part of the ʼWorldʼs Epicʼ, a Hero in the making.

Even Lionel could not take on the brilliance of the upbringing of his son… born from the corpse of his mother, who fought until she fell to her knees and died in the middle of a war. The event itself was almost poetic, a bright child, shining brightly like a sun was born from his deceased mother, that died fighting like a true warrior until the bitter end.

It was truly something that would be described in legends and be imprinted in the history of feline beastmen for generations.

As Drarus grew up, he became stronger and stronger, he was truly blessed by fate and the gods. His body quickly developed into a herculean physique, muscles bulging on his large arms, legs, biceps, shoulders, and everywhere.

At the age of five, he was already two meters tall, with a long golden mane, long golden claws, and fur covering his claws, feet, and chest.

He explored the outskirts of Moonfang, and conquered dungeons left and right, Drarus was unstoppable and was beloved by the people as one of the Heroes of Moonfang.

The riches he won in dungeons were distributed to the people of the poor villages, and he would also share the countless monsters he hunted, their nutritious meat helping a lot of people getting by winter.

But through Drarus feats, he also generated a massive shadow to his other siblings… with the support of his father who was always proud of him, Drarus never realized that his siblings hated him so much for stealing their fatherʼs attention.

Anyone that was not as capable as him would be overshadowed by his amazing strength, abilities, and feats. Even Vasipheus, who was almost of his same age could not compare to him, and only received a small amount of attention, but not as much admiration as Drarus.

Drarus was unaware of the hate and resentment of his siblings… until one day, when Vasipheus was possessed by Geggoron, he fell to his knees.

Against the power granted by a Demon God to his sibling, Drarus did not stand a chance and was defeated. He asked why he was so hated, even after doing so many good deeds and helped and protected the Kingdom…

”Why… Why do you resent me so much, brother?! I have only tried to be a good person, someone that can be truly called a Hero!” said Drarus, vomiting blood.

”It is exactly because of that. Because you are perfect. Because you are the most talented one, the most amazing one, and the most outstanding individual in everything…” Vasipheus said.
