Epic of Caterpillar

Brunhild looked at everyone fighting, especially at Kireina's special creatures. It seemed she was able to summon weapons that moved by themselves and even beasts of powerful strength. In an attempt to imitate Aquamarine's magic of water and ice, she concentrated her Mana into her hands, quickly thinking about the flow of water and the coldness of Aquamarine's ice, with such a big example right in front of her, it wasn't hard for her to completely imagine everything, as water suddenly emerged from her hands, reaching a nearby Lesser Bone Dragon.

SPLAAASH!

"GRRRRR…"

However, the Lesser Bone Dragon was unaffected, and only annoyed, quickly rushing towards her! Water Magic was inherently not that deadly if it was just throw into a foe. It had to be in ridiculous quantities as to drown someone or control it into a bubble to drown someone easily, but that also required telekinesis over an element which was a more advanced magic spell.

Not only that, but to make water magic deadlier, one had to shape the water into sharp blades and add extra pressure into them, speed was also necessary, so they would be as fast as a bullet and pierce through solid objects.

Ding!

[You learned the [Water Element: Lv--] Skill]

"Ah! Water Element… I just gained an element? So even the ones I have in my Status are not the only ones I have?!" Wondered Brunhild. "Then… Maybe I can even bring ice?"

"GROOARRR!"

The Lesser Bone Dragon rushed towards Brunhild, as she quickly retaliated by conjuring ice. She thought about the water surging out of her hands and then, freezing it with ice! The ice quickly emerged in large quantities, quickly spiraling towards the Lesser Bone Dragon, and freezing the monster on the spot!

CLASH!

Of course, Ice wasn't that effective, but it was good at stopping the Lesser Bone Dragons for a bit before they freed themselves from the ice. Kireina looked as Brunhild conjured ice, quickly combining her own ice with chaos and conjuring Abyssal Ice, which she manipulated to her own whim, generating enormous spikes in the floor of over twenty meters each, piercing and impaling several Lesser Ice Dragon's cores.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Kireina had been analyzing her own elements herself, and much like back in Genesis, it wasn't as if she had lost their affinity or something, but she always was better using them once they were merged with chaos. As long as an element was merged with chaos, she simply became way better at using it, such as Abyssal Ice, Chaotic Fire, Dark Winds, and so on.

"Abyssal Ice Wall!"

CRAAAAASSHHH!

And with a wave of her hand and a few thousand MP, which she was rapidly draining from all the Lesser Bone Dragons in the mines, she generated an enormous wall of purple and black ice, covering the entire entrance to the mines. These monsters were too strong for the giants to get in here anyways, and it was better to seal the entrance before any of them would sneak outside.

"Eh?! You sealed the exit!" Said Brunhild shocked. "Also that black ice was awesome!"

"You're really a magic nerd, aren't you? Come on, try using chaos now." Said Kireina. "Like this."

Kireina conjured a mass of pure chaos into the palm of her two hands, and then gathered it together and fired an enormous Chaotic Beam against the Lesser Bone Dragons near her, eliminating three in a single blast… of course, they ended surviving. These monsters were covered in chaos itself, they were even resistant to it and Kireina used a rather weak attack. If she wanted to kill them with chaos alone, she would have to go a bit harder.

"Chaos… chaos…" Brunhild said, slowly trying to gather this chaotic element into her hands, but nothing happened. No element of chaos emerged at all, and the only closer thing she could bring was Darkness Element, which wasn't effective at all against Undead.

"It seems you're not that good at using Chaos Element, I can tell." Kireina said with a nod. "Actually, you can't even use it. Forget about it, use more of your other spells, try to combine them. You have to develop them. Fuse Holy Light with Ice now." Kireina instructed Brunhild. "Like this."

FLASH!

Kireina quickly combined her Purification Skill with her Ice Skill, generating an enormous crystal made out of holy ice, which shone bright white like a diamond. The enormous crystal shaped itself into a giant spear and then fell over a large Lesser Black Bone Dragon, crushing it into the ground and purifying its body, easily destroying it.

CLAAAASH!

Not only that, the ice spread around easily, as it took over the other Lesser Black Bone Dragons in the vicinity, only freezing them and trapping them for Brunhild to take down.

"A-Alright…"

Brunhild closed her eyes and concentrated, once more, she combined two elements as if it were a child's play, and immediately generated several spears of holy ice, firing them at her targets, the large group of over ten Lesser Black Bone Dragons, one after the other, they began to fall to their demise!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

The spears hit the Bone Dragons easily, freezing them like popsicles and then shattering their entire bodies and the ice cubes they became into pieces, with their core included.

"Good, well done." Kireina praised Brunhild.

"Ahahh… I am getting a bit tired though, I think I am reaching my MP limit…" Sighed Brunhild.

"Well, you'll have to push yourself even farther than that if you want to win this fight though." Kireina smiled, as she looked at the creature that started to emerge from the depths, it was similar to the Bone Dragons, but it looked to be composed of their bodies unified together, an enormous behemoth hat could barely walk across the mines by itself!

"GRUOOOHHHHHHH…!"

Its roar echoed across the entire mines, shaking the walls and ceiling, and making several ores and other crystals growing around fall into the floor and shatter into pieces. Many Lesser Bone Dragons were caught in the falling boulders, being crushed to their demise.

"T-That's huge…!" Brunhild cried.

"We've got ourselves a Boss…" Kireina smiled.
