Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2826 - 2827: Letʼs End This

-----

”Itʼs done... A-Are you okay?” Frank asked nervously, placing his hands on her shoulders.

”Iʼm alright~” Kireina smiled. ”Iʼve got very strong vitality!”

Her resilience came from her incredible body, her cultivation, and her powerful Soul, which could even donate Lifeforce.

”Now...” Frank nodded, turning to his friends. ”Iʼll give you a bit of energy. Letʼs persevere until we get out of here, everyone! Gift of Life!”

FLAAASH!

The darkness within Frank reversed into brilliant light, healing his companions as his Lifeforce flowed directly into them. This was Frankʼs famous Healing Spell—a unique ability no one else had ever been able to replicate.

With it, they felt not only fully healed but also restored in stamina and vitality. It was Kireinaʼs vitality, channeled through Frank as a conduit, that shared energy with everyone present.

”And itʼs done... Sorry if that was a little scary,” Frank apologized. ”I just discovered a way to reverse my Gift of Life into something terrifying... but I wonʼt use it unless absolutely necessary. Itʼs too wicked a power—it could cause a calamity even I couldnʼt stop.”

”Yeah, that power was monstrously strong,” Matsuo acknowledged. ”I had no idea you could twist such a beautiful ability into one that could drain an entire city of life in seconds. Frank, you hold incredible power—more than I imagined.”

”I...” Frank looked ashamed, but Harumi and Erika nodded in support.

”Alright, if weʼre done here, letʼs finish this!” Erika said. ”Hey Frank, once weʼre done, youʼre inviting us for ice cream. No wait—Kireina should, sheʼs filthy rich!”

”Sure thing, itʼll be on me. We can go to the fanciest place you want,” Kireina smiled gently at her new friends.

”I want ice cream too...” Ruby gulped.

”Hey, weʼll leave after some time, so donʼt start asking for things...” Sapphirine whispered to her.

”Alright, letʼs not waste more time,” Kireina said. ”Hurry!”

The group nodded and rushed toward the entrance Mammon had opened. The demon explained the abilities of the mysterious Esper, and after learning what they were up against, they reached the vast corridor stretching toward the Spirit Domainʼs Heart.

In the distance, a giant crystalline heart was beating steadily, fueling the entire Domain with life. Inside, the Esper opened their eyes once more. Frank and his friends, like Mammon, couldnʼt tell if the figure was male or female, nor their exact age.

”...”

”So thatʼs the Esper, huh?” Harumi muttered, her Aura surging. ”So whatʼs the plan?”

”We push forward with everything we have, then refine the Core together,” Kireina explained.

”Refine?” Erika asked. ”Wait, I donʼt know how to do that!”

”What? You plan on killing that person? I donʼt think theyʼre doing this willingly...” Matsuo said.

”Seriously? They tried to kill me!” Mammon complained.

”Yeah, but even then, I donʼt think theyʼre malicious...” Harumi said. ”Look, theyʼre wearing a white hospital coat... Were they inside some kind of scientific facility or hospital before? Do you really think someone like that is evil?”

”Hm, okay, donʼt gang up on me over a small comment, geez,” Erika sighed, quickly transforming into her golden-furred werewolf form. ”Alright, letʼs do this! AWROOOOOO!”

Her howl shook the entire Spiritual Domain. The Esper became alert, their rainbow-colored eyes narrowing as they extended a small hand forward. A massive shockwave of invisible telekinetic force surged toward them, shaped like a colossal hand.

”Ruby! Amphitrite! Help us out!” Kireina commanded.

”Okay!”

”Sure thing.”

The two nodded, their fiery and watery auras surging with immense spiritual power. They began manifesting the might of their Masters and Vessels—ancient beings who had lived for millions of years.

”Come, Blazing Titan of Fiery Destruction!”

”Assist me, Ancient God of the Seas!”

FLUOSH!

Flames erupted from Rubyʼs crystalline body, forming a giant over fifty meters tall, with blazing muscles, sharp demonic horns, and a massive volcanic hammer.

Water surged from Sapphirineʼs crystalline body, becoming a swirling maelstrom that shaped itself into an ancient, bearded god of the seas wielding a trident.

It was Surtr and Poseidon themselves, manifesting their Consciousness through their Contracted Supreme Spirits.

”Woah! What is that?!” Erika gasped.

”A-Amazing...! So Spirits can summon even stronger Familiars?” Harumi wondered. ”Kireina, your summoning skills are incredible.”

”Yeah, this is beyond anything Iʼve ever learned...!” Matsuo laughed. ”Iʼm jealous of your magical skills!”

”Haha, well, this is thanks to my bloodline. Your strength is all the more admirable because you attained it without shortcuts,” Kireina said sincerely, admiring their growth without reliance on Systems.

They had asked for help because they immediately sensed the Esperʼs immense power. In this Cosmic World, an Esper of this caliber was easily Star Eater Realm.

In fact, it was most likely because the Esper was at Upper to Peak Stage that Mammon had only been able to hold on against them—unable to fight back, let alone defeat them.

”Surtr, Poseidon, help us out.”

”Got it!”

”Very well.”

The two giants of fire and water charged forward, clashing against the invisible psychic force and pushing with all their might. Ruby and Sapphirine channeled their power through their Consciousness.

At the same time, Frank unleashed his vast Cosmic Mana Aura, merging it with his Wrathful Heart Demonic Aura and Archangel Power from his Mark of Humility. It fused further with the Spear containing the Seven Archangel Souls.

The radiant body of Michael, White, manifested behind him, pushing as well, causing the psychic force to ripple and weaken—but not fast enough.

”Letʼs push, big brother!”

”Fine! But donʼt slow me down!”

Harumi and Mammon surged with their Blood Auras, charging forward and striking the invisible force, twisting and warping it with their combined efforts.

”Matsuo!”

”I know, Erika!”

Erika howled, her golden aura manifesting as a spectral wolf, while Matsuo thrust his palm forward, releasing radiant light composed entirely of divine sunlight from his patron goddess.

Their combined brilliance formed a massive palm, striking the psychic force and generating even more ripples.

Finally, Kireinaʼs sharp red eyes glowed as her Aura surged. Her Unique Martial Arts manifested again—a garden of black, red, and purple flowers blooming around her.

Channeling her Consciousness, Intent, Lifeforce, and Spirit into her fists, her Demonic Armament of Demise emerged, wrapping her arms in sharp demonic gauntlets of black, purple, and red.

Kireinaʼs Martial Ascension Realm Aura surged with power equivalent to at least one and a half realms above, fueled by the sheer energy within her—combining Martial Arts with the Arcane Path.
