Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 1876 Shadrachʼs A+ Rank Evolution

.

.

.

As we were almost ready to depart, I decided to evolve Shadrach into his next, much stronger form. His meeting with the kids was rather warm (as heʼs made of flames) but they broke his heart by saying that his kids were rather sad he died with Kireina out of the blue. This only gave him the desire to get stronger and go back as fast as we could.

For his evolution, I decided to leftover materials I had and then, boldly so, I used the Jungle Kings blood, some of their internal organs, including one of their breath-producing organs in their throats, pieces of their divine crystal cores, and then their scales, fangs, and claws.

As Shadrach was already a Dragon Sword, he would benefit greatly from these materials. His evolution options this time were only three, and I decided to continue down the path to the highest rank possible, while also changing his design quite a lot.

”Ah, I never thought I could wield the element of chaos and darkness like this! Well, it is not completely pure, but my flames now possess this element mixed in…” Shadrach said in amusement. ”I can even switch between the Infernal Flams and the Chaotic Flames at will! And this Manifestation ability is also really useful.”

He was currently on his Dragon Form, now only slightly smaller than Luminous, with him behind us alongside the white dragon, we had two massive winged lizards as our bodyguards.

And about his blade form, it had become much longer, sharper, and black colored on its blade, with a purple glint and a malicious, devious aura of abyssal darkness.

His dragon form was a mix of his wyvern form in Genesis plus with demon-like features, a slightly more terrifying appearance, and black and red scales. His new Skills looked to be really useful, so Iʼll be utilizing his strength really well.

If I can combine his new Skills with my other S Rank Egos together, I could probably temporarily generate a power capable of destroying anything on my way…

And regarding my own strength, my level has increased a lot since we defeated the three Jungle Kings, I am not kidding when Iʼm saying I might get to my next evolution really soon.

For now Iʼve decided to hold on with my Skill Points and spend them later if the situation asks for it. Preparation is good, but overdoing it might cause to lose resources and waste my skill points in things I might never need.

So for now, Iʼll wait until I truly need to utilize them, and then surprise my foes with new powers, much like I did against the Necrotic Plane Ruler with the Ouroboros Ego.

”Weʼre here.” I said, stepping forward, our enormous party facing the dissipating barrier until nothing was left behind.

At my side, Tahat-litu looked at the scene, her eyes squinted at the tombstone. She had decided to come with us and fight representing her entire kin. She said she had leveled up a lot by getting some of the EXP from defeating the three Jungle Kings and the hordes of monsters.

Therefore, she was really close to being S Rank in strength alone, and with the equipment that I manufactured for her using the materials of the Jungle Kings, such as their bones and scales, she was probably as strong as an S Rank.

I made her a new spear using the spear-tail of one of the Jungle Kings, coated in their blood and scales, and her armor from head to toes is made out of their bones and tails, and is tremendously sturdy.

We tried to stop her but she seemed completely decided on fighting, so we brought her along anyways.

”Are you sure you want to fight?” I asked her.

”I am.” She nodded. ”I cannot stay still while you all do everything for us. Even if I can only offer some small support, I want to fight and face the bastard that brought so much suffering to my people and see his end with my own eyes.”

”Alright then.” I nodded. ”Just stay close with the rest of us. If possible, I want you to guard Elfina, sheʼs our frailest.”

”Noted.” Tahat-litu nodded.

FLUOOSH!

The barrier fully dissipated completely now, as we reached the other side of the barrier, a desolate sand area. It seemed that the plants and all other life couldnʼt even grow in this other side. The only thing we saw were dunes and a paved road made of black stone leading to the tombstone entrance.

RUMBLE!

However, trouble quickly arrived in front of us, as the sands started lifting off the ground, and I sensed a Gravitational Domain spreading across… gigantic insects surged from the sands.

And right behind them, a group of giants was guarding the gates silently.
