Epic of Caterpillar

I ordered Silva to open an enormous fissure in space, a Gate that led to her Internal Labyrinth Body! With that, enormous Fire Salamanders began to emerge one after the other.

"ROAR!"

With a loud thud accompanied by their roar, lizard-like legs emerged from the fissure, as countless Fire Salamander Monsters started popping out of the fissure, not by the dozens, but by the hundreds! Silva had just accumulated tons of MP by eating so many soldier corpses that she was now bringing the cavalry! The soldiers and knights scattered everywhere began to panic.

Not only they saw one of their comrades burn to death just now, but several of them began to burn one after the other, constantly. The flames spread out, forming a pure inferno for all the invaders.

"F-Fire Salamanders?!"

"T-Those are high ranked monsters, right?!"

"Shit, they're too many, and they're strangely… organized?!"

"AGGGH…!"

"Their fire is strange; it spreads and not even water magic can easily turn it off!"

They panicked, the mages within their group tried to fight back with magic, as some Salamanders died right away, but they were quickly overrun by the rest

However, alongside the Fire Salamanders, giant Orc Warriors emerged, marching forward with their enormous and tall bodies covered in muscle and fat, holding giant clubs, and smashing the armored soldiers beneath their feet ruthlessly.

Yes, it was time to change the tide of battle with what we had been preparing since I absorbed the Dark Labyrinth and created Silva. With this new power, an army was created, and the elves in the frontlines were amazed as what Elfina and Floresse had told them that would happen eventually happened, an army of monsters began to fight their foes, helping them.

"Now march forward all of you!" I instructed the monsters, as I suddenly felt a chunk of my Mana come out, combining itself with my Divine Aura and suddenly covering everybody with a strange blessing-like buff.

Ding!

[You have learned the [Commanding: Lv1] Skill]

Commanding? Oh, I remember getting something similar to this before… Is this the buff I suddenly did without realizing?

[Commanding: Lv1]

By using your own Mana and your inspirational words, you can command a large troop of soldiers to battle, enhancing all their stats by +20% while in battle. As the level of this Skill increases, the effects of the buff increase each time.

Interesting new Skill! Well, not like I mind commanding an army of monsters, just like I used to do back in Genesis anyways. This is all already my field of expertise!

"March! Don't leave even a single invader alive, monsters! Fire Salamanders, unleash your fire, combine it, and expand your flames! Orc Warriors, organize yourselves and gather together, fight and gang on groups of invaders at once, don't go alone by yourselves!"

Even if I was atop the giant Aquamarine, they heard me loud and clear, obeying my tactics without any problems. The monsters were smart enough to somehow understand me and learned from what I said as well. I can't wait to be able to summon even stronger monsters in the future whenever Silva levels up her skills.

"ROOOARRR!"

"GRUUOOHHH!"

The Fire Salamanders roared alongside the Orc Warriors, as suddenly, Silva communicated me something.

"Uhhh… Mama, something weird came out!" She said.

"Eh? What happened now?" I wondered.

"It's weird! Two of them… Salamander and Orc… big, and stronger than others!" She said.

"Big and stronger than others…? Summon them outside then!" I said.

"Okay!" Silva replied, quickly summoning two enormous beasts outside.

Both were at least five times bigger than their lesser versions and were big versions of the Fire Salamander and the Orc Warriors. The Fire Salamander was now called Blazing Drake Salamander and the Orc Warrior was named Mighty Orc Giant Chief. And both were super strong! Their stats were through the roof, they carried overpowered Skills, and were overflowing with new abilities.

By merely emerging, they suddenly began to buff the stats of the monsters of their respective tribes. Are these the so-called Dungeon Bosses? So these might be the "Dungeon Boss" versions of these monsters, right? With their very presence, those of their race became stronger… but let's see about their offense now!

"ROOARRR!"

The Blazing Drake Salamander opened her jaws, suddenly gathering large quantities of Mana into them and unleashing a storm of blazing flare that completely consumed the area of the battlefield ruthlessly. Everything was set ablaze and quickly melted away, the entire landscape was shaped differently.

BOOOOMMM…!

The flames were so strong the ground and rock began to melt, creating rivers of lava, the charred corpses of the victims were not even left, as the turned to ashes and their armor melted into ponds of liquid metal.

"URRAAAAH!"

And then the Mighty Orc Giant Chief acted, jumping into the air with an enormous axe and then swinging it down, generating a tremendous tremor in the middle of thousands of soldiers. The earth below their feet shattered and broke apart, as the many soldiers suddenly began to fall to their ultimate demise.

CLAAAAASHHH…!

"Their power is… indeed amazing! Well done, Silva, well done!" I laughed slightly manically, seeing the massacre really put a smile to my face, especially as my EXP bar began to fill up more and more. The closer I get to leveling up, the closer I felt I was getting to my home.

"I am sorry, humans, but you were always mere steppingstones to me…"

Ah, I've always wanted to say that in such a cocky way!

"Mama is truly frightening today!" Aquamarine pointed out.

"Don't buy her act, she's actually a softie, Aquamarine." Black said.

"Indeed, Master likes to play around." White added.

"You two stop trash talking about me!" I cried desperately, feeling slightly heartbroken.

After all, there's no time to actually play around.

I looked into the distance, noticing several auras of blood, a dozen of them flew towards the elves, ignoring the other soldiers and knights being massacred by the monsters. Are these more princes? Can Sol and the elves handle them all? Maybe I should go assist them-

"Hold it there, monster!"

However, I was once more interrupted by a mid-boss.
