Epic of Caterpillar

Chapter 2382: Palami, Raito, And Asure's Struggles



Once Truhan and Celica reached the left and right side of the elemental of ice and fire, she quickly commanded her husband, as both synchronized.

"Now! Let's attack at the same time!"

"Alright!"

Celica roared, as Truhan nodded. Their axes moved down at lightning speed, as they activated powerful techniques, spending their divine energy to inflict as much damage as possible.

"{Divine Moonlight Titan Axe Arts}: {Star-Splitting Slash}!"

Celica targeted the elemental's fire half.

"{Infernal Blazing Titan Axe Arts}: {Volcanic Wrath}!"

And Truhan targeted the elemental's ice half.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

A myriad of axe attacks reached the elemental of ice and fire at once, breaking and shattering its body into pieces, making it collapse, revealing the rainbow colored, crystal core.

"There!"

Celica grabbed the core before it could gather ice and fire again, and quickly shattered it into pieces with the sheer force of her divinity.

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

Fragments flew everywhere, as the small body of an ice elf appeared, falling over her palm, barely alive, she used simply healing spells and sent him inside her Divine Realm.

"Done, let's get going!"

"Yeah!"

The two charged across the frozen landscape. Although they were unable to gain cosmic powers yet, they had received the upgraded version of the System, the Origin System, in time. This helped them level up with each battle, gain new skills and Titles that were comparable to Divine Techniques or superior, obtain Classes and Subclasses and their related skills, and

more.

Therefore, even right now, without awakening cosmic powers yet...

They had grown strong, strong enough to not fall completely into despair against such beings.

CLASH!

Kizuato and the monkey-kin, and Palami and the elemental lords were on a similar predicament, as a giant elemental of ice and fire constantly attempted to crush them.

Unlike Truhan and Celica, they weren't enormous in size, and were unable to easily finish them off without unleashing a lot of attacks.

"GROOOOHHHH!"

The elemental roared, charging towards them and unleashing a storm of ice and fire. The giant of the elemental lords, Asure. With his brown skin, muscular body, and metallic plates that covered his body, he was a mighty Divine Metal Earth Lord, his body could be covered by metal and he was able to grow to tremendous sizes.

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

"Uggghh!"

However, he wasn't as tough as Truhan and Celica, nor he was as large, the attacks from the elemental, fueled with cosmic power, easily shattered his metallic scales and spikes, burning or freezing his skin hard, stone-like skin.

"Asure!"

Palami panicked, quickly spreading out her wings and flying into the skies, summoning her Divine Holy Blade, part of her innate ability as a Divine Holy Light Paladin Lord, she rushed towards the giant's back.

Elemental Lords were a type of Demons from Genesis, very rare Demons who held unparalleled magical and physical abilities, that evolved from lesser demon species. Usually, they would take upon a single element and specialize on them.

Paladin Lords like Palami would specialize on Holy Light and would gain Paladin-Class related traits into their own biological bodies. Like Paladins, they can wield swords and heavy armor, and even grow it from their body.

Therefore, with such power, Paladin was able to easily regenerate her armor, clothes, and sword as much as possible, and eventually...

She learned to master this unique power that certain species of Demi-Humans possessed all over the world of Genesis!

"{Divine Holy Blade Rain}!"

Using her biological ability to grow swords from her body, she quickly created a hundred, spending large quantities of divine energy, and firing them all at once at the elemental of fire and ice.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Each sword exploded, releasing all the divine energy charged inside of their body, quickly spreading cracks through the ice half, although the fire half seemed not affected.

"GROOOHHH!"

The titanic elemental roared, its blazing hand divided itself into countless of hydra-like heads, rushing towards her and aiming to eat her alive while burning her to death.

"Where do you think you're looking at?!"

RUMBLE!

ZAAAAP!

The sound of a thunderbolt echoed from the skies as a young Thunder Lord God appeared, swinging his golden and purple colored katana, slashing through the flames and everything else, a single slash becoming many.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

It was the Thunderstorm Lord, Raito, Palami's apprentice and also her young husband. Whenever Palami jumped into danger, he would do so as well and give his all to protect her.

The titanic elemental roared, stepping back as it saw both halves of its body beginning to crumble apart or being destroyed.

Yet its head quickly transformed into a draconic head, flames and frost combining to create blue-colored, freezing flames!

"Aah! Palami!"

"Raito, wait!"

Raito tried to go save Palami, his lightning speed allowing him to reach her, but only for a short burst, as the flames quickly reached them both.

BOOOM!

Palami created dozens of shields from her body through her unique abilities, shielding from the beam as it sent them flying down into the ground.

CLASH!

"Ugh...!"

"P-Palami!"

Raito panicked as he saw Palami take the blunt of the attack, he ended screwing things over!

Asure was holding back the elemental, and the monkey-kin group was attacking it from every angle, so they were able to distract it.

"No!"

Raito panicked, seeing Palami's arms covered on freezing flames, freezing and burning,n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

falling into ashes.

"Hahh... Ugh!"

Palami couldn't speak, she was gasping for air, on a state of shock due to the explosion, as the

flames spread from her arms.

If he didn't act quickly, they would consume her entire body.

With no way to turn them off, he quickly did a desperate measure.

"Please forgive me!"

SLASH! SLASH!

He cut her arms off, as the flames quickly consumed the two arms and then dissipated.

"Aaaggghh!"

Palami screamed in agony, as Raito despaired, he used his hot katana to cauterize her

wounds, but now that she had no arms, what he was going to do?!

"Palami, I'm sorry...! I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have done that!"

Raito started crying, perhaps for the first time ever, he realized how reckless he has been.

And how much it could have ended costing the person he loved.

"Rai... to..."

As Palami's divinity grew weaker and her body temperature started falling, suddenly...

FLASH!

A bright blue neon light emerged from the sky.

"Eh?"

And Raito's eyes widened.

As two giant machines emerged.

"Stay still, we'll heal her."

"Huh? What?!"

Raito didn't know what happened, but he clearly heard a person's voice inside the machines.

And these machine designs were too strange, completely different from Kireina's mechs!

FLUOSH! Within seconds, the neon blue light gathered around Palami, rapidly and quickly literally printing her new arms, and also healing all her other wounds.

"Ahhh! Hahhh...!" she rapidly opened her eyes, suddenly feeling full of energy. "W-What

happened?! Raito? Huh?!"

"Palami!" Raito cried, hugging Palami as he cried. "I'm so sorry for being so reckless..."

"Raito... Agh, you idiot! Now I remember! Stop being so reckless!" Palami slammed his head

with her fist.

"Ouch, ouch! Aaagh! Please don't hit me so hard!" Raito continued complaining.

He truly didn't deserve Palami...

The two giant machines looked at one another, being completely ignored.

"The beings of these worlds... They sure are strange."

"It feels like they work through a different logic entirely."
