Epic Of Caterpillar

After rampaging through the last rooms, we finally reached the final challenge of this dungeon. It was quite shocking that the final monsters were a species of Fire Dragons, each one being over seventy meters tall, with robust and muscular bodies, long arms and legs, and gigantic wings, however, even those were smashed into shreds, sliced into pieces or turned into minced meat.

Seeing the door for the final Boss of a Dungeon gave me some memories from Earth, from all things, I had to remember those times when I played my games. I used to love RPG's, and fighting the final bosses was always thrilling and full of suspense. In MMORPG's, it was teamwork where I would gather with other players from my friend list or guilds, and we would always share potions around while the priests or mages would offer us their buffs so we could deal more damage…

Well, although it is a fair comparison, this world game-like mechanics are very different than any MMO I've played… And this is a real world, pain and suffering exist, the people or monsters aren't just mindless mobs or NPCs. If I end up ruining things up because I think this is a game, I may endanger the life of those precious to me, and well, my life as well.

However, I still wanted to apply the same rules I've been doing since the previous bosses. Although my family opposed me in this regard as it was the final boss, I decided to take it by myself. Such a strong monster will be a nice way to try out all of my abilities, moves, and transformations, and see if I even have a limit.

If things go to the worst-case scenario and I'm somehow about to die, I can easily escape by manipulating the dungeon walls with [Dungeon Assimilation], opening a hole, and escaping the room. If this were to happen, this monster would be way ahead of our league, and we would need to grind some more before we can confront it head-on.

After explaining this over and over, my family finally understood and calmed down, there were some more Lesser Fire Dragons around that spawned just recently from small spawn artifacts, so they began to hunt these to kill time. If they work together even a hundred of them wouldn't pose a real threat.

I was a little bit disappointed that eating [Divine Energy] wouldn't let me manipulate either produce this power, the skills I obtained only gave me an advantage when eating it, and I can't seem to find a way to use it while casting skills or spells. All of the [Divine Energy] I ate disappeared as well, nourishing my Soul and Physique.

As I pondered these thoughts, my Phantom Fox Clone sent me the info of the Boss, it was slumbering as well, much like all of the previous bosses. Although it felt my presence… Is it pretending to be weak?

[Final Boss] [True Draconic Lineage] [Indomitable Might]

Overwhelmingly powerful, these were the only words that could describe this guy. He not only had max level magic, but he also had four absorptions and all status and element resistance. He has increased self-regeneration that even beats pure-breed vampires.

He has parallel thinking, and even two different ethereal and phantom transformations, why are they two? What are their differences?!

He has elemental shields, materialization, and long reach… What are those strange-sounding skills? Can he materialize magic and make his attacks reach very long? Then running away to a safe distance can't be an option… Sadly Appraisal does not let me see the details of each skill, only their names, and levels.

Overall, this guy is pretty insane. I will not hold back at all, I may as well use everything I got in terms of buffs, armor, and transformations.

Anyways, it was time to get serious, I quickly began to cast countless buffing spells over my body, increasing all of my stats, some of these skills included [Charming Empress of Lust Supernatural Lovely Boost: All Stats], [Empress of Lust Indestructible Conviction], [Thundering Critical Attack Enhancement Command], [Tyrannical Empress Glorious Command], [Intimidating yet Motivational Command Speech], [Seductive Voice of The Sin of Lust: Delusional Despair Song], [Emerald Tree Arts; Status Boosting Fragrance] and more.

Shields were also cast, being my usual Omni-Elemental Shield the most enhanced one, then I covered it in thinner yet sturdy layers of solidified Illusion Magic, then countless of Azure Gemstone Tattoos covered those barriers, and lastly, a mass of sand started to gently fly around me. Afterward, I decided to envelop my Aura around my equipment, and immediately used my five armors in succession, something that I haven't tried in a while.

Seeing how this guy had resistance to all elements, any element outside of his four absorptions would do… However, I wondered if Chaos counted as an element. I decided to add on the Thunder, Water, Wind, and Chaos Attribute into my Aura and thereafter my Armors.

I was able to infuse an almost endless amount of Chaos Attribute from inside of my soul as if it were an endless sea. Enveloped in these attributes and my Aura, these five sacred beast armors merged together. However, while doing this I also activated the transformations [16th Winged Demon Overlord of Lust Transformation] and [Black Flames Beast Transformation; Fenrir], creating a sudden change in the armor, powerful energy shined brightly…

As the transformations, attributes and aura merged, I decided to also add Soul Attribute, Phantom Attribute, and Anti-Magic Attribute. Interestingly enough, Anti-Magic is considered and Attribute by the System as well.

Flash!

------

In the depths of the Dungeon created by the God of Sand and Earth, a decisive battle was about to be unfolded. A slumbering dragon awoke, opening its twelve red shot eyes, it expanded its wings as it extended its domain almost automatically, its massive size, towered over a hundred meters, a true behemoth of the abyss.

Its eyes deeply admired the being that has showed up, a strange monster that seemed as if its whole existence didn't make any sense, thousands of different presences and essences made up this creature of seemingly humanoid shape.

Towering over one hundred meters was a humanoid demon made of deep dark metallic material. It possessed eight arms and sixteen wings, each arm and wing had a different shape and color. The entirety of this monster body was made up of strange materials that shouldn't even exist either, the Attribute of Chaos, an Attribute that hasn't been used since ancient times, before Genesis separated into countless realms, had been reborn in this unsightly abomination.

The Ancient Wisdom Dragon Athos, who has been imprisoned in this dungeon for eons due to the God of Sand and Earth's will was deeply shocked, but remained cautious and calm, the being that it was about to confront wasn't any ordinary human hero, neither a super-evolved demi-human…

What he was about to fight could only be described as a misfit and abomination, and overwhelmingly strong… being. Its appearance couldn't be truly seen, it was an amalgamation of various species and things… Even an Ancient Wisdom Dragon like Athos was deeply intrigued and frightened.

The gigantic metallic demon moved its four heads, each one depicting a different demon. A beautiful demoness smiling mischievously, the raging demon wolf Fenrir, a Fire Wyvern that held wisdom on its look and lastly a calm yet notably angered Sand Wyvern.

Clack!

Suddenly, a fifth head appeared in the middle of the four, depicting the head of an Azure Dragon, a coiling dragon with the body of a giant serpent, such beings are extremely rare nowadays.

"What is the purpose of this existence…?" Thought Athos, over all of his years, he has never seen such a thing exist.

"Could it be… an Evil God? But why would it come to this dungeon? Perhaps… A Ragnarök is happening? Should I surrender to it? Maybe it could offer my freedom if I become it's subordinate… No, it's too late, this atrocity only wants to kill and eat me… I can feel it on its intent and the chaotic aura that emanates from its existence… Will I finally die?" Pondered Athos, while automatically enhancing his body with countless spells, his muscles bulged and increased in mass over five times, thousands of magic circles appeared beneath his figure, immediately casting a myriad of spells and calamities.

"Interesting, it will be a nice way to die, with a fight to the death… How long has it been since I fought someone truly admirable? That Sol kid was the only one who brought some excitement to this endless life imprisoned in this dungeon…"

Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, the gigantic demon moved with a speed that Athos couldn't perceive, with a powerful force, thousands of techniques combined in one sole attack impacted the Dragon body, creating shockwaves that moved through his entire body.

As Athos vomited blood, he moved away… He moved away?! An Ancient Dragon like Athos moved away… in fear. The concept of running away had been foreign to Athos for countless of years… but now, it was deeply engraved on his instincts.

"Gods… I am not going to die without putting a good fight, bastard!"

-----

Seeing how the dragon remained silent as he watched me, I decided to strike first while using the Skill [Impossible Flashing Propulsion Speed]. As I moved at an impossible speed, the dragon, Athos, seemed surprised, and his speed was not enough for him to perceive my movements. The moment I appeared ahead of him I had already combined thousands of techniques on my eight hands, each one carrying a [Legendary] weapon tinted in chaotic colors. A massive force was released right in the Dragon's chests, making it vomit blood as he moved away in fear…

Did this guy underestimate me to the point of letting me get the first hit? Well, that was a bad decision, the moment I hit him with my techniques, I also released a hundred or so Anti-Magic Seals over his entire body, coupled with curses and other ailments, although it seems that he's immune to most of them, or resist them incredibly well. Nothing that my eyes can't do, as I cursed him and lowered his resistances and stats. Oh, he's beginning to do something now.

A myriad of spells showered over my body as I absorbed each hit with my armor, the ones that I was not able to absorb were instantly reflected by the Anti-Magic properties of my Armor. The Dragon saw the catastrophe he unfolded doing nothing to me, and I could even see a hint of despair on his twelve eyes. If he were a mindless beast, he would probably not mind and keep on charging at me, but because he seems to be highly intelligent, his mind is slowly being clouded with fear.

Once again, I used my overwhelming speed to approach the dragon's back, as he twisted his head to notice me in time, and used the ability of [Ethereal Form Transformation] to obtain spirit-like physique, at the same time, he shaped his body to his liking, separating his head from his main body and making it fly away while his main body generated hundred of claws that started to ravage me with the powerful Claw Skill that he possessed. Meanwhile, his tail extended itself and became a serpent, trying to bite my heads off. And while all of this happened, his head started to multiply in the air, beginning to throw atomic breaths at me without stopping.

My incredibly sturdy armor blocked his magic without any issues, while his ethereal body shapeshifted into countless of forms to confront me, I did the same, surprising him even more, my eight arms extended themselves like thousands of tentacles as they started to shift into gigantic mouths, eating the countless ethereal claws of the dragon, his tail was devoured as well. Meanwhile, I summoned one hundred Arms of Destruction holding Hammers as they started to chase the dragon's spirit heads floating in midair.

"Don't think that I can't do the same!"
