Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2260 Go All-Out!

?-----

Another slashing attack from Redgaria was unleashed, for a moment, it felt like he was tapping into the same level of power that Hel had when she was fully possessed by the Necrotic Plane Ruler.

SLAAASH!

An overwhelming, near endless source of Cosmic Nether Essence constantly flowed through him! That single slash tore through space, reaching Demiurgus within a split second- no, an instant!

"UAGH?!"

The Recessed predicted the trajectory, quickly moving before Redgaria attacked, only to have half his torso cut off instead, including his left shoulder!

"AAAARGH!" Demiurgus screamed in agony, as he rapidly responded to Redgaria's attack with a wave of crimson mist. "Drown!"

FLUOSH!

Redgaria was quickly engulfed on the crimson mist, as he didn't even fight back against it. The mist wrapped around his body, trying to absorb his energies and vitality.

"…"

Yet Redgaria opened his mouth and inhaled the mist, absorbing it completely.

"W-Wha…?!"

Not only was Demiurgus shocked, but the girls below were also just as surprised. Redgaria absorbed all the mist he wanted, his powers only growing stronger.

"Your power works on living things, isn't it? I'm not alive right now…"

"Y-You're an Undead then?! Truly?! But even the Vampires…!"

"You talk too much for what it seems to be a battle to the death."

Before Demiurgus could notice what happened, Redgaria appeared behind him.

Altani did notice.

"He did the same thing again!"

Redgaria used his Cosmic Domain, which now seemed to be quite literally fused with the thousands of Undead he commanded.

By expanding his Domain, the Undead passed through space itself, dragging him along at an almost instant speed.

Therefore, he could appear anywhere within the perimeter that his Cosmic Domain covered through this method.

Effectively being short-ranged teleportation.

"I had no idea Necromancers could achieve such a thing to begin with…!"

Altani couldn't help but feel surprised over Redgaria's new powers.

He had been looking down on the man ever since she got to know him.

But right now, she had to admit he was strong.

He had saved their lives after all!

"YOUUU!"

Demiurgus panicked, quickly conjuring a pair of arms using his Abyssal Blood Soul powers and then materializing two giant swords with them, attacking Redgaria!

The Necromancer responded with his scythe, as he conjured giant shields made of skeletons, specters, and zombies to tank attacks.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Explosions of Abyssal Blood Soul Essence and Cosmic Nether Essence erupted, the entire dark palace trembled, cracks spread everywhere, Redgaria and Demiurgus were standing on equal ground for the moment.

Their exchange of attacks was immensely intense, their Cosmic Domains clashing against each other. Redgaria's domain was clearly several times smaller than Demiurgus, but because he was absorbing his crimson mist, his foe was unable to continue expanding or restoring his power like before!

However, Demiurgus slowly started gaining the upper hand!

"You're strong and can move quickly, but you're no match for a mighty Elder Recessed such as myself!"

Demiurgus gathered his powers into his entire body, his eyes suddenly turning deep black as a single gigantic eye opened on his chest.

"?!"

Redgaria didn't said a word but opened his eyes wide as he saw the transformation, suddenly, he sensed a tremendous gathering of energy within Demiurgus.

Within two halves of a second, a gigantic blast would be fired at him!

If he evaded, Demiurgus would point it at Kireina's wives below.

There was only one option.

"I'll destroy his eye before he even blasts it."

One half of a second left.

He pushed forwards.

His undead moved him through space.

His scythe was loaded with cosmic energy, flaring with black and purple flames.

He needed to be faster.

The eye was already flaring with crimson red energy!

"Phantasmas…" he gritted his teeth. "Give me your strength!"

With a furious roar, Redgaria pushed forward.

The fragment he had absorbed and assimilated into his body that belonged to her shone brightly.

Her powers flowed through his entire body.

The unique Essence born in the Maxima Universe flared through his body, resembling silver and white flames.

This was Maxima Essence, the pillar of the Summoning Dao and its greatest ingredient!

And it was also what made every beast and creature in that Universe capable of connecting with other universes through the Summoning Dao.

Phantasmas somehow heard him, or perhaps, the last remaining power left of her.

His body moved at lightning speed.

And Redgaria's scythe swung vertically.

The same Scythe made out of her remaining bones.

SLAAASH!

A slash, a wave of Cosmic Nether and Maxima Essence was released.

It passed through space, and through the unique effect of the Maxima Essence's powers…

The attack was even able to skip through the distance within an instant, not even half a second.

"Ugh?!"

Demiurgus couldn't believe it, as the slash passed through his entire body.

His giant eye, and his entire torso…

"T-This can't be…"

Were sliced apart!

The energy Demiurgus was going to unleash to kill everyone ended backfiring, imploding within his sliced torso.

BOOOMMM!!!

The explosion was still tremendous, pushing Redgaria and everyone else away, the entire dark palace trembled as the ceiling and the floor were destroyed, leading everyone to fall into the dark palace's underground area.

Smoke and rubble kept falling, as Altani and Redgaria managed to protect everyone with their abilities, slowly cleaning all the rubble and the smoke left behind.

"Is everyone okay?" Altani wondered, looking around with her sharp, yellow-colored dragon eyes.

"Cough, yeah, I'm fine… Is he dead?" Nephiana wondered.

"It should be dead…" Charlotte sighed, her entire mech titan had been destroyed, so she was unable to protect herself so easily without the help of Altani and Redgaria.

The rubble of this palace was much deadlier than just plain rocks that would never hurt anybody, as they were made of cosmic-grade materials, being hit with them would cause serious harm if you didn't have a big and tough body, or strong defensive spells or skills.

"Its entire body was blown up due to the backfiring of its own energy…" Redgaria sighed in relief. "That bastard… with an attack like that, he would have ended destroying this entire place."

"Maybe that was his plan, so he could escape afterwards!" said Nephiana. "Where is his corpse though?"

"His… corpse?" Altani's eyes widened.

Amidst the smoke, there was something standing in the middle of the rubble.

A skinny, almost skeletal figure stood there, creepily looking at them.

"What?!"
