Epic of Caterpillar

As the Vampire was no more, I noticed Aquamarine and Lucifer had already felled half the "Kings", this whole forest was just a beginner friendly zone or something, because it was just giving away stuff like I was a newbie. Even this guy wasn't a problem at all.

However, the silence quickly led me to watch into the skies. The trio of Vampires that accompanied this Vampire were all panicking and screaming. Their Auras fluctuating, but overall releasing a strong bloodlust.

Well, if they want to die they're free to come at me. I usually won't target them if they don't bother me but… Well, if they attack me, that's a whole different story.

"That woman killed Emiliano?!" The blonde woman cried.

Emiliano? Pfff. No way that's his name? Poor guy, now I feel slightly guilty. But then again, he was constantly fantasizing about drinking my blood, so I better not care at the end.

"He died so fast! I thought they were even? But he suddenly… disappeared." The blonde vampire muttered.

Are they sad? Maybe he wasn't that evil?

"Big brother! We have to kill her! Avenge her!" The smaller behind them roared. "How dare she kill our precious brother! I wanted his blood core myself!"

"Tch, we were letting him grow stronger just so we could later use his soul and body to refine a Divine Blood Treasure…!" The blondie muttered, glaring at me with eyes full of despise.

"Now give us that core, it belongs to us! We've let that mutt live all this time just so we could later utilize him!" Roared the other blondie.

"Wow you guys are the fucking worse. Vampires in Abyss are like this? I prefer my Genesis Vampires, even when we were enemies they still cared a bit more about one another…" I laughed. "This is like mixing the worst fucking cultivation tropes in an already gritty grimdark world."

"Kireina, stop talking nonsense, those twins are a bit stronger, be careful." Mammon said.

"Oh?"

FLASH! FLASH!

Suddenly, both of the blondie twins appeared right in front of me. They moved at such speeds it was hard to follow… If I didn't expand my Senses through my Authority Domain. A sea of Wrath and Greed Flames quickly exploded into their faces the moment they attempted to hack through me with their gigantic weapons.

BOOOM!

"Uugh?!"

"Flames?"

"Just because I let your brother have a hand on me doesn't mean all of you younglings can just come and touch this body." I said playfully, the flames kept burning their armor, but they seemed mostly fine.

"You don't seem to be from here!" Laughed the male.

"Do you think you'll be able to defeat us as easily as you did with that foolish young prick?!" Laughed the female.

The twins swiftly unleashed their Blood Auras, resembling two monstrous entities. The male's Aura resembled a gigantic demonic horse, while the woman's aura a giant gryphon. It seems Vampires can somehow absorb the essence of beasts into their Auras or something.

"We're just starting!"

"DIE!"

Their armors covered the rest of their bodies, themed after their Blood Beast Auras. Their weapons, a giant sword for the boy and a pair of spears for the girl constantly clashed against my armor. I did very minimal movements, gauging their strength by receiving their hits head-on.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Each attack felt stronger over time, they really had good tempo fighting together too, constantly taking turns and targeting blind spots. I utilized my fusion skill armor to defend myself by creating large shields, but their constant attacks were already chipping them down.

"I have to admit you have a tough armor, are you a Defense Specialist with some trump card you unfortunately used on Emiliano?!" The woman mocked me.

"Well, that'll only makes things more interesting! Give us your essence!" Laughed the man.

Both of them broke through my Authority Domain with their sheer combined prowess, resembling two crimson meteors descending against me. Those weapons and armor were equivalent to lesser-grade cosmic relics.

I want them!

"Wha…?!"

"You?!"

However, their confidence slowly started to fade away as they saw my claws stop both of their weapons from reaching me. They were the claws from my second pair of arms, surging from my own armor.

"You're strong, but I can't bother transforming into my Outer Goddess form with such a level…" I shrugged them off. "[Harmonized Chaos Mandala Arts]: [Seven Lives of Perpetual Agony]"

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Seven punches pierced through their armor and bodies, leaving seven holes through them. Golden flames bursting through the holes. Their screams of agony quickly came, almost delayed by the speed of my attacks.

"Uuuaaggghh!"

"Gryyyaaagh!"

As they screamed in horror, they quickly grit their teeth, their open wounds rapidly trying to regenerate, only to burn deeper with the flames of Chakra and Mandala. However, their attempts, as futile as they were, still continued, their Souls and Auras melded together into something else.

"You've forced our hands!"

"I won't die here! Monster!"

"[Divine Blood Soul Fusion]!"

FLAAASH!

Their souls and bodies fused. The wounds and the flames dissipated as they melded together into a giant mass of flesh, metal, bones, eyes, jaws, and many beast-like parts mashed together. I saw the system notification, their stats skyrocketed as they converted into a single entity.

[The Vampires Hector and Hecatriz have activated the Divine Blood Path Art [Divine Blood Soul Fusion], temporary fusing their bodies and healing all wounds in the process.]

[The Embodiment of the Fragment of The Moon Goddess resonates within them, transforming them into [Resentful Titan Of Silver Moon]! All of their Stats have been combined and increased by +1000%, their Damage Dealt has increased by +500%, Damage Reduction has increased by 50%]

[Transformation Duration: Approximately 13 Minutes (Until all their energy runs out)]

The shapeless beast quickly gained a silver sheen, several holes spreading across its body as its armors and bones popping out of the fleshy tendrils turned into a rocky exterior. It now resembled some sort of bizarre golem made out of moon surface.

"GRUOOHHH!"

And from each hole on its body, giant and long red tentacles appeared, drooling a silver-colored liquid that melted the forest around them.

Wow, this world doesn't stop surprising me.

"Alright, maybe this is a bit more fun now."
