Epic of Caterpillar

SLAAASH!

Erdretoth's entire body was split in two halves, as his empty eyes watched Kireina appear behind Mammon, grabbing him on his new form as a weapon and then swinging him down against him, which led to his current situation.

The most shocking part was that Erdretoth wasn't weak at all! His Stats and Power was enough to make most Recessed look up to him. In terms of Realms, he was at almost the upper stages of Star Eaters after having absorbed the essence of Father Sun for thousands of years since his rebirth as a Recessed.

Yet…

YET!

Despite that, he was now split in half, his golden and black blood pouring out of both halves as he agonized in utter horror. Not only was his cosmic body split in half, but also his entire soul!

The culprit was the woman in front of him, her appearance resembling a beautiful Vampire woman with long, spiraling horns and a pair of enormous blue butterfly wings. Covered on spiky black armor and holding Mammon as a weapon!

"RAAAGGHH!"

Erdretoth screamed in agony and frustration, his enormous arms rushing towards Kireina. As her eyes became sharper, glowing with bright cosmic light. She quickly noticed the Recessed was using a technique even after just a split second from his body being split in half!

It was some sort of Cosmic Power, a corrupted essence that surged from within him. It was not like the Vampires Vampiric Paths or Divine Blood Energy, no, it was much more highly refined cosmic energies.

And they possessed both the brilliance of the sun and the corrupted darkness of death and the Under Dark!

They were channeled through his long, skeletal claws, aiming at Kireina's face.

"YOU DARE STEAL MY MAMMON?!"

As his claws reached Kireina, a wave of golden flames and blue sea essence erupted from her body, clashing against the Recessed claws and quickly burning them, his cosmic energies were powerful, but Kireina seemed to be in just another level entirely.

"GRUUAAGH!"

His split body fell into the floor, splattering blood and innards as he saw his own arms burn and turn into ashes. He quickly attempted to regenerate, growing more and more golden bones and black tentacles out of his body.

"Who are you?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO MY MAMMON?! Why is he a weapon now?! WHAT'S- UGH?!"

However, before he could continue speaking, he felt completely paralyzed. The woman in front of him had changed her appearance, suddenly resembling a blue armored insectoid entity, with the slight shape of a woman.

Six enormous and long arms, two sharp scythes like those of mantises, long and claw-like fingers, and her wings, suddenly disappeared, now becoming long branches of black exoskeleton that released cosmic flames resembling the wings of a butterfly.

Her bug-like face opened its crimson red eyes, glaring at him with monstrous hunger and fury.

"YOUR Mammon?" She spoke with a pissed off voice. "Sorry, but he's MINE. And only MINE!"

With a furious roar, Kireina rushed forwards, swinging Mammon's axe downwards as an explosion of demonic greed flames erupted towards the Recessed. In this moment he would have defended using his Cosmic Equipment, consisting of an Abyssal Under Dark Hydra Scale Robe, and his Golden Bone Lord Spear.

Yet he had thrown them away in the moment of heat, when he saw Mammon's deliciously sexy body in front of him, which awakened all his sexual desires, and obeyed him completely, throwing away what would have saved his life right now!

"My Cosmic Equipment…! I need it!"

As his body was being blown away through the explosions of demonic energy and authorities combined together, he stretched his body, shapeshifting it into a mass of cosmic essence, golden bones, and miasma.

However, when he tried to find it, it was gone. The robes and the spear, they were nowhere to be seen. His will-o-wisp like eyes widened in that split second as he realized there were more people inside his temple.

He hadn't realized, but in these few seconds since their "fight" started, there were almost a dozen people inside!

A giant white dragon had grabbed his equipment already, while a purple and gold colored one was charging lightning from its body.

There was a beautiful harpy woman with long green hair and colorful feathers conjuring her winds.

And there was even a Vampire woman too, releasing crimson lightning everywhere.

The moment Erdretoth attempted to find his equipment, his shapeshifted body was greeted with a myriad of cosmic level attacks, winds shredded him into pieces, lightning burned through him, and blades of light sliced through his bones and miasmic flesh.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Gryaeeaaaggghh!"

As he screamed in agony, a bright light surged from his body, Kireina quickly charged towards him, her body channeling her newest skill as an ethereal aura of azure primordial sea essence materialized into liquid metal, reinforcing her body with a thin, almost lightweighted armor. Suddenly, the armor exuded a powerful Aura, enhancing her speed-related stats through the roof!

"You bastards…! I'll burn you all! I'LL BLOW UP ALL UP! [Heaven's Sun]!"

FLASH!

Like a blur of blue, purple, red, and black, Kireina reached the monstrous Recessed before the sphere of light surging from his body were to detonate. Her Aura transformed, harnessing the power of her Path Jewel Ego: Uroboros, and transforming into the head of a giant draconic crimson snake, opening its jaws and engulfing the entire sphere of light!

CRUNCH!

And not only was the sphere deleted from existence, but also the Recessed's head and half his torso from his first half! Still in utter disbelief and agony,

"NOOO!"

As the skeleton-like Recessed started to realize that his fate was coming, his weakened first half started channeling all his powers, suddenly transforming into a wild Miasmic Holy Light Beast, and pouncing towards Kireina.

"RAAARRGGH!"

Meanwhile, his other half quickly became some sort of spider-like monstrosity made of golden bones and miasmic flesh, rushing towards the exit!

He had already attempted to send telepathic messages to the other Recessed, his allies, but there was some sort of barrier or something blocking his communication from the outside world.

He had to run and run as quickly as possible!

"Where do you think you're going?!"

However, the roar of Luminous echoed behind him, the dragon's claws rushing down.

CRAAASH!
