Epic of Caterpillar Chapter 17: Abrahel Curse
Backlines, Troll Emperor throne.
A massive Shadow Zone made by the Troll Witch suddenly engulfed me.
"This bitch, and why is she laughing all the time? (She's also extremely hot, what the fuck?)"
The Troll Champion flew near the Troll Witch.
"Well done, with this I don't need to hold back with this Demon!"
"Ugh… This is quite complicated… Minds, I am leaving this Zone to you to crack!"
Three tiny voices resounded inside Kireina's head.
"Yes!"
"We will do everything we can…!"
"I will handle this fight!"
Within a blink of an eye, The Strong Troll champion rushed directly to my direction, using a myriad of strong buffs and magic shields!
"Magic shields? Where is he getting those?! Ah!"
In the distance, I saw the Witch casting multiple buffs on the Champion.
"So that's how they work, huh? The worst part about Zone type fields is that I am restricted to close combat or the specific element of the Zone, meaning, I can't cheese this out with Overpowering Sun! Damn it!"
FLASH!
The Troll Champion came rushing from my back for a strong sneak attack, infusing a myriad of weapon skills on his only great sword!
"You are all open, Demon!"
FLASH!
"Eh?!"
"Do you think that it would really be that easy? (Uwaah! That was close, but thanks to Vampire Reflexes and Dark Moon 8 Senses I was able to avoid in time…)"
"Hmmph! I will go all out then!"
BOOOM!
A strong aura formed by countless stacked buffs exuded from the Troll Champion while it smiled like a maniac!
"Here I go again!"
FLASH!
While rushing ahead of me, the Troll handled his sword over his head and enchanted it with countless skills, making it increase to a massive and absurd size!
"TITAN SLASH!"
"Tssk! Do I have to use it already?! DARK MOON DEMONIC MODE!"
FLUOSH!
After casting the spell, my entire body was engulfed on a dark flame, and when it completely dissipated, multiple horns grew on my butterfly forehead, while my size tripled and my wings became sharp looking!
"Hmmm?! This power! Hahahaha! Wonderful! I can't expect anything less from a Demon!"
"Shut up! | DEMONIC TOXIC FLAME CLAWS |!"
FLASH!
Out of nowhere, a massive and grotesque demonic claw made of purple energy intercepted the powerful Troll Champion Blow!
CLASH!
"Ah! Ghh…! Paralysis?! And Poison?! What is this move?! Wait, Burn status too?!"
Suddenly, the Troll Champion was completely immobilized by a powerful stacking of three negative status ailments!
The Witch quickly noticed such thing and casted a healing spell on the Champion!
FLASH!
"Thanks! Hahaha! Your tricks won't work on me!"
FLASH!
In this small window, I sneaked behind the Witch and blasted her off with a strong Toxic Flame Claws!
"WH- GYAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"
BOOOOM!
Her delicate body crushed on the ground!
"What?! Noo!"
"Nnghh, shut up muscle brain… I am fine; I should had hide from the start…"
Flash
The Troll Witch quickly hide herself in her Shadow Zone.
"Damn it! That tricky bitch!"
"You are fighting me, Demon!"
FLASH!
The Troll Champion rushed my side!
"TITAN SMASH!"
I quickly intercepted him with my Toxic Flame Claws, but!
BOOM!
"Guaaakkhh! What?!"
The Witch started to shot magic projectiles at me while I fought the Champion!
"Agh, this fucking Witch!"
"Lazy Mind, how its going?"
"Not yet… I don't think it's even possible to crack this Zone skill, it's too overcomplicated!"
"Yeah! The Salamander Empress Zone skill was much simpler in nature! This Zone is a compound spell of countless spells put together, the only way out is killing or knocking that Witch out!"
"Very well… Change of plans, try to find where she is hiding!"
"Yes!"
As I exchanged strong blows with the Troll Champion I quickly noticed the blessings of being undead!
"After intercepting so many strong blows, I still don't feel any pain on my muscles or even tiredness!"
CLASH!
"Ghh! This Demon never gets tired or what?!"
"TITAN SLASH!"
SLASH!
"Here! Toxic Flame Claws!"
CRASH!
Once again, the Troll Champion was inflicted with multiple status ailments!
"Now! Can I still use Shadow Thread Magic?!"
Suddenly, multiple threads made of shadows trapped the Troll Champion in place!
"Nnngh! What?!"
"There! Now, let's see if I can use this one too! Advanced Blood Control, Shared Blood!"
FLUOSH!
From the trapped Troll Champion, a big river of blood started to come from inside his wounds, making them even worse, I used this opportunity to drink his blood too!
| BLOOD VITALITY EFFECT HAS BEEN APPLIED, ALL YOUR STATS BOOSTED |
"Ah! There it is! Now take this! I will combine Shadow Threads and my Toxic Flame Claws!"
FLUOSH!
Countless shadow threads were infused in the grotesque claw, doubling its size and obtaining a deep black color!
"DEMONIC SHADOW CLAWS!"
"Damn it!"
CLASH!
A gigantic Shadow Clashed on the trapped Troll Champion, blowing him away several meters and completely shattering his armor!
"Guuuuuuuuuuuuahhhhh!"
The Witch was surprised about such power and quickly tried to heal the Champion, revealing her position for a split second!
"There you are!"
"Ahh! Impossible! How could you be so fast?!"
FLASH!
Using my enhanced Demonic Mode body, I quickly rushed in front of the witch and slashed her with my Shadow Claws!
CLASH!
"Gyyyaaaaaaaaahhh!"
The strong Shadow Claws were so potent that even her Magic Shield couldn't take it anymore and shattered, letting the Shadow Claw infiltrate and cutting out a big chunk of the Witch back and one arm!
Loads of blood spurred out of her big wounds, I quickly used this time to absorb the blood and enhance my stats even more.
"Aaaaahhhhh! It hurts! P-Please spare me!"
"Ah? Weren't you an Empress? Why are you so pathetic? At least give a better fight!"
The Witch started to cry out of pure pain, while she slowly tried to heal her wounds.
"Please… I am not used to fights, and I barely have any offensive magic, these are all my Emperor and Master orders, even if I am not so suitable for battle… I had to obey…"
"Hmm… I don't trust you at all! Thread Manipulation!"
FLASH!
Strong Shadow Threads trapped the moribund Troll Witch body.
"Ghh…! Damn… Demon…"
"Activate skill: Blood Pact!"
FLUOSH!
The big ritual of the blood pact started and both my blood and the witch united in a strong bright red glow!
| THE SERVANT RELATIONSHIP THAT HIGH TROLL WITCH EMPRESS ZEHE HAS WITH HIGH NECROMANCER WARLOCK REDGARIA FROSTBITE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY BROKEN |
| A BLOOD PACT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY CREATED WITH: HIGH TROLL WITCH EMPRESS ZEHE! |
| AMOUNT OF SLAVES 41/50(+10) |
"Hmm? "Redgaria Frostbite", is that the name of your former Master?"
"…"
The Troll Wich was already unconscious.
"Oh right, they always go to sleep… Sigh"
Because the Witch was knocked out, the Shadow Zone quickly dissipated and I found myself very far away from the Troll Emperor position.
"This bitch really put us far away…"
I healed her wounds and wrapped her around a strong magic thread, while I looked were was the Troll Champion and her lost arm.
"Ah there is the arm…"
I quickly devoured the Witch arm.
| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: HIGH SHADOW MANIPULATOR MAGIC CORE |
| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: STRONG SHADOW SHOT LEVEL 1 |
"Ah, that's all? I guess it's fair with just one arm, a pity that I won't be able to eat her whole"
"Minds, did you find him?"
"Uuuh, yes, there!"
"Ah! He's just running away in fear? That's so lame…"
The once imposing Troll Champion ran as fast as he could, looking for his Emperor.
"Haahh… Haahhh… T-that demon, did he just enslave the Witch?! How can he just easily do that?"
FLASH!
"Found ya!"
"Gyaaaaaahh!"
"GATE OF BJARMIA!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Gyaaaaaahhhh Noooo! Ple-"
SPLAT!
A water spear flew right in the middle of the Troll forehead, making it explode like a balloon.
Countless weapon shaped water projectiles stabbed the Troll multiple times, crushing his entire body to the ground and then slowly transforming it into minced meat!
"Ugh, it looks kind of gross… But thanks for the meal!"
I quickly ate the Troll Champion entire body, and my vitality became even stronger thanks to his fresh and bloody meat.
| YOU GAINED 7530 EXP |
| YOU GAINED ONE LEVEL! | | LEVEL 2/40 EXP 3030/4600 |

"That's it, some good looking skills… Wait, that's really it? This guy was lame, did all the struggling I had was thanks to the Witch buffs then? No way…"
I also thought about devouring his great sword, it seemed different to any sword I've seen crafted before on my cave, so I give it a shot. It tasted awfully bad and I felt like I was eating a very bitter rock.
| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: EARTH TITAN GREATSWORD |
| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: GREATSWORD PROFICIENCY |
"Ah! That's compensates it a bit more…"
I left the wrapped Witch behind a tree while I used Illusion to camouflage her.
Then, I flew to the north were the Emperor was according to my minds.
.
.
.
Some moments ago, Emperor throne.
"Hahaha, well done Zaha, now the Demon won't have a chance versus those two working together!"
"Eh?!"
The Emperor quickly noticed that the strong pressure generated by the Possessed Celica slowly disappeared!
"W-WHAT?! She lost?! How?! Impossible! I can't believe this! Those demon slaves, beat the Dark Awakening form, that means… They have a Light Magic user!"
"But they are only wolves and monkeys, how could there be such a rare Light Magic user on that group!"
As time passed, the Emperor noticed that The Witch was taking too long.
"Is… everything okay?"
FLASH!
"Oh!"
"EEH?!"
The Troll Emperor saw how the Shadow Zone slowly dissipated, hoping for her Witch to bring the Demon head with her, but to his surprise, he saw how the Demon finished a Blood Pact with her, while his Troll Champion ran away in fear!
"No…"
As every plan crumbled in front of the Troll Emperor, his strong confidence and serious personality slowly dissipated.
"Aaahhh… Master… I have failed you… I need to… Run!"
.
.
.
"Main mind, there he is!"
"Oh, I see it!"
"Don't be so careless this time, we don't know what tricks this Emperor has on his sleeves"
"I will take that into consideration… Activate skill: Overpowering Sun! No holding back this time!"
FLUOSH!
A massive ball made of concentrated lava appeared out of thin air, creating big heat waves around, and blocking the sun itself!
The Troll Emperor quickly noticed this and was completely shocked!
"Gaah! What is this?! Since when this Demon has such high leveled magic? This wasn't in the reports!"
FLUOOSH!
The Overpowering Sun quickly moved over the Emperor position!
"Aahh! With such overwhelming power, do I even have a chance? I cannot nullify his magic like the Witch! What do I do?!"
Hiding inside the Overpowering Sun, I spoke to the Emperor.
"What? Did you really think that everything would go according around your stupid Master plans?"
"I… S-Shut up! How dare you talk like that about my benevolent Master, you filthy Demon!"
"Sigh… You know what? My army is having a pretty hard time there; I cannot bear to waste more time with you, so answer straight to my questions, okay?"
"Ghh…!"
"Who is your Master?"
"I… My Master… I… I will never tell you, Demon!"
"Haahh…"
"Fight me fair! Come down here and fight for your life in a thrilling battle for who's the strongest!"
"…"
"What? Afraid that I can be stronger than you can in physical combat? Buwahahaha!"
"Do you really think that you can fool me like that?"
"Ghhh… B-But…"
"Should I enslave this idiot or eat him?"
My minds expressed their own opinions about the matter.
"This brainless monster won't answer anything anyways, making him a slave could prove useful but the benefits of eating are better in my opinion"
"Eat him… but do it efficiently…"
"What do you mean?"
"First drink his blood while he's still alive, it will make our | BLOOD VITALITY | stronger, I have checked this skill, after consuming enough strong beings blood, our blood can evolve too"
"Oh? That's pretty interesting!"
I quickly used my Dark Thread manipulation and trapped the Emperor on place!
The Emperor tried to resist, going all out and casting his strongest active buffs, increasing his size to almost three times as big!
"Hmm? Struggling is pointless!"
"Gghh! Damned bastard, Demon!"
I used more MP and produced more threads to maintain the Emperor tightly on place.
"Ghhh…!"
I used the threads to penetrate its bulging muscles and slowly extracted his crimson red blood.
"Gaaahhh! My blood? Are you a Vampire type Butterfly?! There's no such records as a being like you before!"
The Emperor struggled pointlessly as I extracted his blood, but suddenly!
FLUOSH!
"I'll have to use this to run away then…!"
"Hmm?!"
A strong and thick aura engulfed the Troll Emperor completely, covering his entire body with a metallic demonic looking armor!
"Is this a transformation skill?"
"Wait! Look at that ring!"
"This?"
SLASH!
I used my Toxic Flame Claws so easily slash his arm containing the ring off!
"Guuuahhhhhhhh!!! Impossible!"
His powerful armor and the stats boost he received quickly dissipated.
"To think you had such a trick behind your sleeve, good thing I didn't hold back on you"
"You are too troublesome awake, good night"
"Ghh…! Noo! Demon! You damned…! How… could we… Master…"
I activated Hypnotizing Gaze and quickly made the Troll Emperor fall sleep.
Afterwards, I took my time and slowly drained his blood out, it tasted like the sweetest nectar I have ever drank in my entire life.
Indulged in such a feast, I did not noticed that the Emperor was already dead until I got his EXP.

"Agghh! It got me all hyped up for nothing!"
"No matter what, I am picking a Humanoid in my next evolution!"
After finishing my pointless ramblings, I quickly ate the Troll Emperor dried body; it tasted like a very delicious dried meat from Earth, even having some spiciness to it.
