Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1572 New Monster Summons

It has already been two days since the meeting, where I had also used the opportunity to discuss about the desert that I wanted to explore to get into the Demon Kingʼs Castle. I remember that the Elf Queen gifted me a special atlas that showed me the Map of the world, and it was pretty good to orientate ourselves, but even now, it didnʼt provided any special info about the regions I wanted to explore or anything of the sort. At the end, I learned that the Desert Region was called the Ankh Desert, and that there are many Dark Gods corpses spread through the sands, it is also said there are a few Giant Tribes living in there, Giants are beings of enormous size, kind of like Genesis Giants to be honest, the typical giant.

They range from ten meters to twenty-five, so theyʼre quite massive, perhaps bigger than Luminous now that I think about it. Their sizes are a real problem I believe, and because of this, they were exiled into the deserts where they can walk however they want and freely, although the conditions there are very harsh. The corpses of the Dark Gods in the Ankh Desert filled it with Miasma, so over time, enormous monsters emerged and there are multiple gigantic dungeons that keep pouring even more monsters. That place is as wild as it can get.

There is another area I could use to get to the Demon Continent, the area the demons themselves use, which is at the other side of the Continent itself. Now that I can fly with my wings, it seems to be possible, but it would take way too long to get to the other side of the continent when this continent is the size of the entire planet, like a Pangea from Earth. Because of that, I gave up in that and decided to just cross the desert flying if necessary, it wont be so hard anyways. And if we found any dungeons, weʼll complete them for EXP and then maybe absorb them, if thatʼs even possible with Silva.

And as of now, I found myself surrounded by several Elves, from females to men, they were all tired, gasping for air while being given some herbal tea to hasten MP recovery and to give them more stamina. I have spread several Phantasmal Tentacles and connected them to their bodies, absorbing their Mana as I infused it into Silva, my floating Knife, who began using the Mana I infused into her to summon Monsters. She had been doing this since past yesterday, and had already summoned 36k monsters, in two more days, she should be done, especially because these monsters are higher ranked than the ones Floresse had calculated, so less of them would be necessary. Of course, this amount of insanity quantities only came thanks to the sacrifice of many, as they let me drain their Mana. Over a hundred volunteers that wanted to give up their MP to save the economy of their place.

Many agreed to it thinking it was easy job, but now thereʼs a lot of them quitting. This happens not because their Mana is just being drained, but when a personʼs Mana is drained completely they suffer from mana sickness, apparently, which makes them sickly and with the desire to puke their entrails out. I still can remember them all saying, ”this is going to be easy, we just have to sit down and wait?”, ”hey, can we bring something to eat?”, ”maybe I can just take a nap, I am tired anyways”. They were very carefree about this, but now, they are groaning in exhaustion. Due to the activity of having their mana drained, it is difficult for them to even sleep, so they are very tired and sleepless.

They wont die because there are magicians healing them, and theyʼre constantly drinking herbal tea made with medicine herbs that also enhance MP recovery speed. So they just have to bear with this endlessly horrible tiredness feeling for a little while more.

”Ah, I think my Skills Leveled up, Mama.”

Silva quickly spoke to me, as I heard her voice from within the crack in space in front of me. When Silva opened her Dungeon, her Knife for disappeared, this was because the knife quite literally turns into the dungeon itself through her incredible skills. However, Silva was still rather competent in battle, as I used her to fight the Emperor, her powerful stabbing attacks were very good and like the other Ego weapons, she was capable of channeling the power of my Skills, especially the elemental magic and combine it together to unleash strong blows.

”I just saw it, yeah. Good job, Silva! Are you not tired?” I asked, worried about my little Knife Daughter.

”Nope.” She answered plainly.

”Well, I guess youʼre different… Egos donʼt get tired too often but they still usually do get tired.” I said. ”Youʼre different though, the composition of your Ego is something from some sort of Primordial end game thingy that I have yet to fully understand because I lack strength or something. I guess I canʼt apply normal logic to you, dear.”

”Mama.”

”Yes?”

”Look at my status already. Stop babbling…”

”Oh… Right. Hey, youʼve become a bit sharp, eh?”

”Heheh…”

I guess she liked the pun.

Silva was a playful girl, even though she was a knife. I guess she talks plainly and sometimes rather disrespectfully, but still calls me ”mama” so she sees me as her mother, apparently. I promised her to explore the world, so Iʼll show her the sands, the demon king castle, and then bring her to Genesis to see even more things along the way.
