Epic Of Caterpillar

Chapter 2235 Half Eaten

-----

CLAAASH!

Ashatath's entire body was sliced in half by Furia's furious claws, overflowing and exploding with demonic wrath flames of the highest caliber.

"GRYYAAAEEGHH!"

The Recessed screamed in utter agony, the agony she had not felt even when she was sealed before! After always being the one torturing innocents, she was the one now going through endless agony and pain.

"Hoh, you ended being terribly frail, my girl." Furia smiled ferociously, spreading out her giant, metallic dragon wings. "You must be the new one in the throne, right? Did you kill that brat of Satan?" And then she directed her words to Kireina.

"I did, and you must be Furia, the predecessor of Satan and the one that held the Throne of Wrath originally?" I asked her.

"The one and only one." Furia laughed. "I had thought that my soul got exterminated, what's going on? How am I even alive? And now I am your shield? It seems I am somehow inside of your Bloodline Ability."

"You are quite sharp, yes, indeed." Kireina nodded, walking towards the agonizing spider. "Maybe your return was thanks to my System's connection to The Root, where your consciousness, or well, the information about your mind and sense of self are stored."

"The Root, huh?" Furia smiled, licking her lips. "Now that's interesting. It sucks that I need to call you my master, but I guess I'll cooperate for now… Let's shred that bitch into pieces."

"I don't think it'll be as easy." Despite her often confident and calm smile, Kireina knew that Ashatath was still hiding some of her powers.

"Y-YOUUUU!"

Just seconds after she was split apart and Kireina attempted to devour her, a shockwave of cosmic energy erupted from her body. The conversation Furia and Kireina had only lasted a split second and was mostly done through telepathy.

As the shockwave was unleashed and Kireina reinforced her defenses to resist it using her own Cosmic Authority Sea, composed of all her Authorities melded together into her Cosmic Aura, Ashatath's entire body started to lift up.

It floated in midair, her two halves began growing more and more demonic crystals endlessly, as her two halves became two, humanoid Arachne-like entities, with the slight appearance of a spider woman, but made completely out of red, purple, and black crystals, with eyes spread through both bodies.

"Don't underestimate my strength…!" She roared. "I draw power upon all my children! As long as they're alive, their power is also mine, fools…!"

"What?!" Furia muttered, before one of the bodies of Ashatath descended towards her, kicking her chin up and then unleashing a barrage of piercing blows with her dozens of spider-like legs growing from her back.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Bitch, you think you got what it takes to go toe to toe against me?! The first ever Archdemon of Wrath?! Keep dreaming!"

Furia opened her jaws, unleashing an explosive dragon breath at point blank, engulfing the first half of Ashatath with demonic flames. The Recessed ferociously fought back, using her countless legs to attack her even as she burned.

Furia responded at almost the same speed despite her gigantic and heavy body, her sharp claws intercepting each blow, as both of their arms started gaining cracks and shattering due to the immense strength both of them unleashed.

Kireina smiled at the sight, realizing that Furia could be an outstanding new Summon to rely on, but before she could even assist her, she had to take care of the other half of Ashatath, that furiously attacked her with dozens of beams of cosmic nether light.

"DIE!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Kireina shifted through space, evading the incoming blows easily as she appeared behind Ashatath. But the spider woman noticed her presence with her expanded senses spreading across her entire Cosmic Aura Domain, quickly intercepting her Hammer and her Axe attacks with her claws, and then responding with more beams from the eyes she grew on her back.

BOOOM!

Kireina was engulfed on yet another explosion, as she started to realize the immense strength that a Star Devourer Recessed at Tier 7 truly held! Her [Impenetrable Primordial Chaos Armored Cocoon Body] Special Effect activated in that moment, as it protected her from having half her body disintegrated as it broke out from a cocoon-like shape.

"You hit really hard, Ashatath! But I hit harder."

Kireina rushed forwards, imbuing her entire body with all her Auras. Mandala Arts activated as her Aura shapeshifted at the same time as her body suddenly turned completely gold, Ashatath suddenly felt a sudden surge of tremendous power from within Kireina, her insectoid exoskeleton no longer resembling a mantis but now a golden scarab, with big, bulky arms, three pairs of them at that.

Hammer strikes, axe hacks, and her own, fiery fists clashed against the spider Recessed, her entire body gained cracks as she gritted her mandibles in pain. Kireina's entire body began to exude a tremendous radiance as she activated both Chaotic Harmony Mandala Arts in conjunction with Hammer Techniques, Axe Techniques, Chaos Magic Spells, and her own Swarm Techniques, now further improved and evolved through her [Primordial Golden Demon Scarab Swarm Queen Of Eternal Sun Transformation: Khepri] Fusion Skill!

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"Ugh…! WAIT!"

Ashatath screamed in frustration and disbelief, she put all her crystalline legs in front of her body, tanking the myriad of attacks from Kireina, whose body constantly emanated a blinding light of pure sunshine.

Her Aura shapeshifted and transformed revealing to Ashatath the presence of tens of thousands of livings or unliving beings bound to it, their entire bodies completely changed and blessed by her new power, they resembled divine beings covered on armors of gold.

Before she could respond, Kireina stepped forward, punching her arms one last time before they shattered, and then, her Aura's Swarm rushed towards Ashatath, firing hundreds of [Rays of Eternal Radiant Sunlight] at her, piercing her crystalline body, which should be at least a thousand times tougher than diamond, and leaving countless holes through it.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"W-What…?!"

Ashatath looked back at Kireina as her body fell apart, pointing her still attached arm towards her and regrowing as many crystals as she could, attempting to crush her with them!

CRAAASH!

However, Ashatath gasped as she felt something pierce her back, a giant azure-colored sword made of Primordial Azure Sea Orichalcum pierced her, as she vomited her own divine blood.

Twisting her body, she noticed Kireina had appeared behind her!

"W-When?!"

She tried to act quickly, about to release another shockwave to push her away and then cover her in holes with her eye beams.

But she was too late.

Kireina was almost touching her body with her own, at point blank, it was time for her to simply eat her meal!

Kireina's entire body fused with her endless swarm, becoming an aberrant, yet majestic aberration of countless forms and shapes, all made of pure, glistening gold, radiantly emanating a bright holy sunlight aura.

"Ah…"

The only thing Ashatath could do before Kireina's endless maws is to look at its depths and sigh.

It was over.

CRUUUNCH!

Her second half was completely triturated, broken down into pieces before Kireina's invincible jaws, and then swallowed, falling into her Dimensional Stomach, where half of her body and soul slowly melted and were digested by her.

The agony she felt was almost cathartic to Kireina, who was avenging all those people this monstrosity had tortured.

However, it wasn't as if she was truly dead yet.

The other half was still fighting Furia!
