Epic of Caterpillar

A similar situation was happening within the Blood Demon Empire territory and the Blood Beast-Demon Alliance, as meteors containing Miasmic Aberrations kept raining down, clashing against their barriers one after another!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

"They're constantly coming, just what are these things?!" The young Emperor of the Blood Demon Empire wondered, looking at the scene in utter disbelief. "Our Realm… What has become of it?!"

"Young Emperor! We have to evacuate to the underground ruins!" One of his servants ran towards him.

"The underground ruins? You mean where we found those Ruins?" The Emperor asked. "But my people… I cannot leave them on their own!"

"Those Ruins possess ancient magic powers, there was a Divine Array with an even stronger barrier protecting the inscriptions and that huge red stone! We could hide in there, my lord!" The servant said. "All of you and your family! It doesn't matter if the commoners perish, you can always rebuild a new empire once things are over!"

"What are you talking about you bastard?! I'm not leaving behind my people!" The Emperor roared furiously, but then stopped, thinking. "Send my daughter and my wife there, my sisters, and any other relative… I'll stay."

"W-What?! But you're the most important!"

"Do as I say!"

"Y-Yes…"

The Emperor, although at the young age of 25, had already inherited the throne as the only son of the later Emperor, who had died of old age. Although he had many concubines, he ended having many daughters, it was only on his last years that he finally had a son.

The red-skinned Blood Demon glanced into the window, his black horns glowing brightly as he started to channel his strength, his muscular body harnessing his strength.

"I will go down protecting my people… Like father once said!" He roared, recalling the teachings of his father.

FLAAASH!

His Divine Sword, a gift from the strongest God of Ravenfolt that protected the Blood Demon Empire, Hersenfelth, started glowing brightly. It emanated a mighty Divine Power. The God had imbued a Fragment of his Divinity into it, making it the strongest weapon in the entire Realm held by mortals.

This also was what made the Emperors of the Blood Demon Empire so strong, this weapon which had been inherited to every new Emperor, was now on his hands as well.

"I have to go, Crimson!" He said. "Please, give me your strength!"

FLAAASH!

Crimson, the Divine Sword of Demonic Blood glowed brightly, its powers imbuing themselves into the Emperor as he leaped into action, joining thousands of knights and soldiers right in front of the barrier that was already gaining countless cracks!

BAAAM!

"Emperor?!"

"Why are you here?!"

"Y-You have to hide!"

The soldiers and knights panicked as they saw the young Emperor arrive, holding the almighty sword Crimson! However, the young Emperor waved his head, stopping them.

"I will fight, and if we die today, we'll die together…" He said. "I've secured my family, and perhaps a few other commoners might be able to fit there… But the rest of us, must face our fate!"

"Young Emperor…"

"Such a brave heart…"

"Even against all odds!"

The soldiers were instantly inspired, as the Emperor called forth the power of the sword, imbuing an Aura of Blood and War into everyone's bodies!

FLAAAASH!

Crack, crack…!

"Almost there… prepare yourselves!"

The Emperor said, as the barrier continued gaining countless cracks, hordes of thousands of smaller Miasmic Aberrations kept attacking the barrier, constantly shattering it more and more…

Crack, crack… CRACK!

"We fight as one!"

The young ruler said lastly, the barrier instantly breaking after those words, commoners inside the city screaming and running away into underground areas.

CRAAASH!

"SHAAAGH!"

"ROOOAAR!"

"GRUOOGH!"

The monstrous Miasmic Aberrations charged towards the soldiers, a clash between armies generated a huge clashing sound, soldiers died by the dozens in a mere second, the Emperor braced himself, charging forwards, swinging his blade, and attempting to cut some of them at the very least!

"RAAAH!"

SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH!

He unleashed his strongest technique, a barrage of mighty crimson slashes that released explosions of blood energy! An almighty technique passed towards him by his father!

Yet…

YET!

"GRRRHHH…"

The Miasmic Aberrations in front of him remained unscathed, their countless red eyes glaring at the Emperor, as if mocking him…

"No damage… nothing?!" He muttered. "Even with the almighty divine sword's powers?!"

At the end of the day, the Miasmic Aberrations were Supreme God Level, not even with a Divine Sword would a mortal be able to even hurt them…

"SHAAAH!"

A humanoid aberration roared back at him, swinging its gigantic claws at a speed he could even barely detect!

The young Emperor felt like his life was passing through his mind as he faced his destiny!

CRAAAASSHH!!

Yet… he felt no pain, his body was not cut into pieces as he had imagined, and when he opened his eyes once more, he noticed a floating…

"Sword?!"

It was a gigantic blade, resembling a huge black and red katana, around five times as big as his own body, utterly titanic, that nothing he ever knew could even lift.

It was floating in midair, having stopped the Miasmic Aberration attack, and floating without any scratch over its blade, blazing with draconic flames!

"T-This sword…"

The young emperor stretched his hand towards the floating sword, attempting to grab it, deep down thinking it was a gift from the gods!

"Hey! Who are you trying to grab, brat?! Only Kireina-sama has the right to hold me!" The sword roared, suddenly materializing its flames into the shape of a titanic dragon, intimidating the emperor and every other Miasmic Aberration in the surroundings!

FLUOOOOSH!

"Uwaagh! A Dragon?!" The young Emperor gasped in disbelief.

"Yeah, we just made it in here! Looks like a few died though… My bad, the traffic was terrible up above." Joked the floating sword, now converted into a dragon made of flames. "Alright now, let's get this over with! Boys, girls, come down!"

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

Five other figures descended from the skies, reaching the ground, and generating huge tremors as they landed. Their enormous bodies easily towering above every monster and person in here!

They were like giant statues, yet they were alive, covered on scales, and blazing with different types of flames.

It was the Wyvern Overlord's whole family!
