Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 457 - [Scripted Event] [Moonfang Kingdom Conquest] 17/35: Decisive Battle! Vasipheus, The Night Lion Prince VS Nesiphae & Gaby 2/2

-----

Nesiphaeʼs Purple Mist Aura converged inside of her Axe, which had recently evolved into a Phantasmal Rank relic after her previous evolution into a Merilith.

Her ax became of metallic purple color, overflowing with a toxic and enchanting aroma that made any plant life in the vicinity dry out.

”Can you take this one as well?! Corrosive Piercing Axe!”

Slash!

Her ax fell from the skies as if it were a divine weapon of judgment upon the sinful mortals, Vasipheus only smiled as his crimson eyes released blazes.

”Graaaaaaaaa!” he shouted, baring his fangs as his entire muscles bulged monstrously, his arms became gigantic and as thick as logs, his legs grew in size and his torso convulsed, triplicating its size… Only his head remained tiny, making his gigantic body seem to have some comical relief…

He resembled a titan made out of muscles covered in dark fur, towering over four meters now. Raising his dark claws, which wore his malevolent Aura as if it were an armor, he received one of Nesiphaeʼs strongest attacks.

CLASH!

”GRAAAA!”

Vasipheus shouted to the heavens as his claws somehow resisted the attack. However, Nesiphaeʼs attribute was poison itself, even if Vasipheus were to tank the damage, the corrosive properties of the technique would not wear out as easily. His flesh began to decay, falling into pieces, his skin dries out and his bones began to turn into dust.

However, the malicious and possessed Lion Beastmen began to charge with a barrage of jabs against Nesiphae, ignoring the damage caused on its hands, it began to blow Nesiphaeʼs entire body with incredible force!

Clash! Clash! Clash!

However, Nesiphae barely faltered, her armor was incredibly hard, and even when it shattered, it regenerated by absorbing the lamiaʼs aura.

”You think youʼre a tough guy, donʼt you?” laughed Nesiphae. As she began to unleash a lethal rain of slices from her Axe.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

”GAAAO?!”

”Heh! Now, Gaby-chan!” shouted Nesiphae, still charging upon her attack while using her Aura and several spells converged together to slowly affect Vasipheus.

”On it!” shouted Gaby, as she flew through her spectral pirate ship.

Suddenly, the ship became pure phantasmal energy as it merged together with Gaby, covering her outfit with a thin and gothic-styled ethereal armor.

”Hiyaaaa! Phantasmal Oceanʼs Divine Strike!” shouted Gaby, raising her blades which summoned turbulent waves of oceans, which were covered in the phantasmal and ethereal essence of her ghost armor and then were merged with zapping thunder.

A blast that could pierce heavens themselves was released from within her blades, showcasing Gabyʼs growth since she was but a little and weak thief in Aquaria.

Flash!

Vasipheus who was using his small divinity originated from Geggoronʼs Split Soul was constantly regenerating his hands, but Gabyʼs attack caught him from his back!

Boom!

Vasipheus was showered in the intense pressure of a flood from the oceans, the zapping thunder of dark clouds, and the phantasmal powers that could even damage his soul.

”Graaaaa!”

Vasipheusʼs bulging muscular body emerged from the destruction caused in the city area where the domain was created, from a large crater, his body was completely deformed and began to regenerate endlessly, countless muscles popping from his body at an incredible speed.

”Gahahaha!” it laughed, seemingly celebrating its survival… however, Gaby and Nesiphae were just trying out their skills with it and seemed happy that he managed to survive, even more, when their attacks were charged with the ʼDivinity Devouringʼ Skill effect.

”Oh my, heʼs alive, what a relief, it would have been pretty boring if it had ended in that,” said Nesiphae, with a mild smile.

”Indeed! Gubo, come out!” said Gaby, smiling while showing her sharp teeth, making Gubo appear from within her armor.

”Master!” said Gubo, the Thunder Slime Girl, and one of Gabyʼs ʼservantʼ or ʼtamed monsterʼ.

Nesiphae raised her ax, while opening her Item Box.

Vasipheus began to crawl through the ground, as its body kept mutating and regenerating into a mass of convulsing muscles.

”Graaawwraarar!”

From within her Item Box, another Axe appeared, this one seemed to have a dark and gothic style, with several skulls shaped as decorations, it had two blades and the material that it was made seemed strange and incredibly sharp.

”Kireina-sama crafted this giant ax for me the other day. She used the materials extracted from her own demonic armor and skin, her bones, horns, flesh, and blood~ I think I have found the perfect steak to try out its sharpness” said Nesiphae, mischievously.

”Oh? Go ahead, let us see if he can survive it. If he can, I am going with Gubo,” said Gaby, laughing.

”Thanks, Gaby-chan~!” laughed Nesiphae, raising her two axes with macabre killing intent. Since she joined Kireina, Nesiphae had slowly developed the tendency to get excitement through a bloody battle, the more she tore apart the flesh and sliced her enemies, the better she would feel.

Such emotions awakened her hidden bloodlust, her Aura began to shape itself, transforming into a giant and venomous snake that coiled around her two axes.

Her muscles bulged and her belly became stiff and tight, showing beautiful biceps.

”Now, now~ Time to feast our eyes, can this little kitten survive?” asked Nesiphae, in a split second, her four arms moved almost like mirages.

Countless mirages of herself appeared, her arms moved at incredible speeds. Vasipheus charged in and tried to attack Nesiphae with its muscle-only body.

”GRAAAAARRR- Gugeh?!”

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Suddenly, slashes from above, below, and from all sides sliced Vasipheusʼ grotesque body, slicing him into fleshy and bloody chunks.

”Dead already? Fufufu” laughed Nesiphae, her axes painted in crimson blood.

However, Geggoronʼs Split Soul wasnʼt going to let his vessel be killed so easily, forcing the flesh chunks to reunite before it was to be too late, it infused more and more Divine Energy until his appearance resembled that of previous creatures that Kireina fought, such as Habitis.

A grotesque fiend covered in dark flesh and muscular tentacles, alongside countless crimson eyes.

”Ah, that was too fast, mister Geggoron! Donʼt go into your final form all out of a sudden!” shouted Gaby, flying over a flood of water towards Geggoronʼs Split Soul.

Releasing her Aura, and converging it with Gubo, countless ethereal creatures shaped as sharks appeared from out of thin air, opening their sharp jaws and spitting zapping shocks of lightning.

Her blades moved almost rhythmically, converging into a beautiful and refined technique. For a moment, Gaby did not seem to be fighting but dancing like a beautiful Mershark maiden in a festival.

”Twelve Lightning Sharks Divine Dance!” she shouted, as Geggoronʼs grotesque spawn was covered in excruciating pain from all over its body, his flesh began to burn and fall apart, and its eyes boiled and exploded into a mess.

”GRRYAAAA!”

”Finishing move already? Here, take this one!” shouted Nesiphae, laughing mischievously as if she were the incarnation of dread and death.

Geggoron could not understand how such pathetic mortals could damage his divinity and flesh with their pesky and strangely named attacks! It glanced at Nesiphae as it trembled in fear!

The snakes in her hair awakened as their scarlet eyes directed their fury to Geggoron!

Crack, crack!

Suddenly, he was completely paralyzed!

”BOGEEH?!”

The grotesque fiendʼs body was also covered in a thin layer of stone, slowly covering more and more of its flesh.

”P-Petrifying eyes?!” shouted Geggoronʼs split soul, finally coming back to his senses.

”Oh? I was saving them because I wanted some fun… now that you are properly weakened, it must be very hard to fight against the curse, isnʼt it?! Fufufu~!”

Nesiphaeʼs eyes resembled the abyss itself, and as Geggoron kept receiving every one of her attacks, it fell into despair even more…

”Not only that worm Kireina! But all of her allies are just as ridiculous! Just what is this?! How can it be?! I cannot die to these mere mortals, at least not them!” shouted Geggoron, bracing himself as he coated his entire body on his Nightmarish Divinity, breaking the Petrifying Curse, and healing back some of his wounds… however, he sensed that even after closing them, the damage dealt was still there.

”Why am I not recovering properly…? Do these mortals have… Divinity Devouring?! But how! No, I cannot lose focus! I must kill them before itʼs too late! I will not let this humiliation slip through! Dark Nightmare Fireball, Shadow Mist, Nightmarish Curse, Induce Nightmare, Painful Nightmare!” shouted Geggoron, jumping towards Nesiphae while using his Nightmarish Divinity to cast a variety of spells and techniques.

All of his techniques showered Nesiphae from all sides!

”Oh?! Good! Youʼre still fighting!” shouted Nesiphae, seemingly incredibly happy. She expanded her snake-shaped Aura, as the giant snake made out of purple energy started to attack Geggoronʼs spells and techniques. It was not capable of eating them like Kireina, but it was capable of throwing them away.

Kireina had made sure to leave her wives with several of her Slime Clones. Of course, they were all assisting her wives by constantly using ʼDivinity Devouringʼ in their attacks so they could affect Geggoron!

”W-What?! N-NO! DIEEE! Become my nourishment, mortal!” shouted Geggoronʼs split soul, as he shapeshifted its body and made it into a giant jaw filled with sharp teeth, trying to devour Nesiphae whole!

”Trying to eat me? I think it would be a waste to eat the most second most beautiful lamia!” shouted Nesiphae, as she raised her two axes, beginning to release a massive onslaught of splitting attacks!

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Geggoron felt his entire body quickly be minced into pieces, however, he harbored all he had to recover his wounds and reassemble his body in the middle of the air!

”Y-Youʼre going to need more than that! I am the extension of a Demon Demigod, not a mere monster! Know your place, you pathetic worm- GYAAAAH!”

However, just as Geggoron was about to laugh, the mirage of a giant, purple ax made out of ethereal energy sliced him in half again.

”Gaaah… gaah…!”

”You know from where that came from? My Aura! Or perhaps you wanted to know about the most beautiful Lamia above me? That is of course my precious daughter! Thanks to her, I always fight with a smile,” said Nesiphae, giving Geggoron a bit of unnecessary information, which he most likely did not care for.

”I donʼt care about your measly daughter, you bitch…!” shouted Geggoron, as his two halves shapeshifted into giant tentacles, trying to entangle Nesiphae and devour her this way!

”Did you forget about me? Look above!” shouted Gaby.

Geggoron was surprised, and instinctively shifted his gaze towards the voice that took him aback.

”How could I had forgotten about… Hm?!”

As he glanced at the sky, he saw a giant sphere of water, covered in a thick coating of yellow slime. Inside the slime, the water was convulsing and spiraling endlessly and chaotically.

”Here it is…! Gubo was very excited about meeting with you, Geggoron!” shouted Gaby, firing the sphere, which was Gubo covered in the Divinity Devouring Effect which also had inside incredibly high-pressured water.

”Gubo!” shouted the giant Thunder Slime, falling from the sky at incredible speed.

Flash!

Geggoronʼs split soul was not capable of evading or defending in time, Gubo seemed to have become thunder itself for a few seconds, clashing with Geggoron in midair!

Clash!

Boom!

Geggoron was once again greeted with pain, his existence this time was not capable of resisting, thunder and water pierced his divinity as if they were a warm knife going through butter. Gubo shaped herself as a sharp spear, piercing Geggoron several times as well.

”Ungh! Gahh…! I wonʼt… go without taking any of you!” shouted Geggoron, activating a strange artifact that was deeply engraved on its flesh, which had miraculously survived the two girlʼs onslaught probably due to its almost indestructibleness.

Flash!

”Hm? Is that…?” wondered Gaby.

”An explosion?!” shouted Nesiphae.

”GAHAHAHA! Because you enclosed me in this space, you will now die without having nowhere to run away from-”

”Well, letʼs go outside,” said Nesiphae, opening the space and going outside alongside Gaby in the split of a second.

”…Eh?”

BOOM!

Geggoron was trapped inside the space that he thought the girls could not easily escape from without having to deactivate it… well, he was wrong again.

The detonation made his entire Split Soule explore into a ʼDivine Explosionʼ. This was a device designed specifically so Kireina would not be able to eat the split souls, while also dealing a large amount of damage before dying.

However, no material just becomes ʼnothingnessʼ when itʼs destroyed. The residual divinity was just detonated and exploded into tiny pieces, falling over the ground in a rain of meteors.

When Nesiphae and Gaby entered back again, they recollected the pieces of divinity and saved them inside their Item Boxes.

”We are done in here I guess~,” said Nesiphae.

”Hm, it was a fun fight… he struggled more than we expected!” said Gaby.

”Haah… I want to take a bath; Iʼm covered in flesh and blood” said Nesiphae.

Both of them noticed that their levels had gone up by a large amount, slowly approaching yet another evolution.

Vasipheus and his medium-sized Geggoronʼs Split Soul: deceased.

Cause of Death: Killed himself by making its soul detonate by using a special artifact.
