Epic of Caterpillar

10 Overpowering Sun!

.

.

.

In a desolate battlefield, gigantic flaming rocks of multiple colors were annihilating a massive army of monsters, creating a beautiful and terrifying spectacle.

BAM!

BAM!

"So many monsters, it's incredible how these three very different clans were able to team up on this fight, but it's useless, with MANA SHARE and our combined spells, they all will perish in a matter of time… I wonder how Master Kireina is doing… Fighting three Emperors seems like an incredible task…"

"Guuu… mastaaa…"

"We cannot go to support her right now, we must believe in her own power, until we are able to get rid of all these monsters…"

.

.

.

Meanwhile, in the Rock Dome.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Finally! After so many hardships, I am able to absorb such strong beings! Now prepare yourself, Demon! You will die today!"

"Gehhh… no way…"

BAM!

Suddenly, the Spider Empress activated a myriad of new skills, covering her entire body in an incredibly dense rock skin, increasing her size at least three times! Afterwards, a dense and thick aura exuded from her body, increasing all her capabilities.

"HAHAHAHAHA! THIS! This is the power that you possess, right Demon? When I got this skill, I never thought that it could work like this! To even think that I would be able to possess such power one day!"

"This old hag is freaking me out, does she really mean it? She also got a power like mine. The facts are right in front of me! She just used SWAMP ALLIGATOR EMPEROR ROCK HARD BODY and SWIFT DARK SQUIRREL EMPEROR BODY. Not only has she had a rock hard body but also the amazing speed of the Dark Squirrel Emperor! No way, her power is completely in another league now! Not even counting the myriad of magic spells and rock related physical attacks from the former Emperors… This fight… Will I be able to win…?"

"Main Mind, do not give up yet, you got us!"

"Yes…! We are with you, no matter what!"

"Hahaha! No worries, we will have your back!"

"Guys… I wonder if Wagyu and Rimuru will get in time… I need to hang on for now…"

"Alright then! Guys activate all the buffs possible!"

"YES!"

"Item box!"

DING!

While the Spider Empress was fantasizing over her new powers and world domination, I quickly opened my Item Box and ate some leftover food, restoring my Stamina and MP by a little!

"Hmmmm? What are you doing eating at this moment, you fool? Well, it's fine. It will be your last meal! HAHAHAHAHA! Now, shall we? It's time to destroy you once and for all!"

FUOSH!

Two massive auras composed of different living beings could be see clashing on the battlefield, whatever was going to happen next, would be told in tales to come in the Grand Forest.

CLASH!

BOOM!

The two auras clashed at a massive speed! Creating immense shock waves that completely destroyed the Rock Dome!

CRASH!

"Guys, I am counting on you!"

"Alright! Myriad Claws plus MOUNTAIN MONKEY EMPEROR STRONG BLOW!"

"Mana Zone! Elemental Infusion!"

"Myriad Buffs! CRIMSON WOLF STRONG SENSES!"

"OOOORAAAAAAA! MYRIAD ELEMENTAL CLAW!"

"AAAH! OVER POWERING ROCK CLASH! MASSIVE ROCK CLAWS!"

BOOOOOOM!

Two incredibly advanced combination skills clashed! The shock waves could be seen as far as the previuous battlefield were Rimuru and Wagyu were fighting!

"Master Kireina! Whats going on?! Is that, the Spider Empress? How is she this powerful?!"

BOOOOM!

"Again! They clashes are so massive, this fight is completely in a different level, we are mere ants to such power!"

"No way… Since when was the Spider Empress this powerful?!"

In the enemy troops, the alligators and dark squirrels could be seen worriedly looking for they Emperors, but they were nowhere to be seen!

"Wh-where are our Emperors? Could it be that they died in hands of the Demon?!"

A Hairy Spider started to yell.

"Hahaha! Do not worry, our beautiful Empress shall avenge your Emperors!"

BOOOM!

"AAAGGHH!"

CLASH!

"I got you! DARK FLAME RING!"

Suddenly, a massive Dark Flame Ring went ahead and trapped me in place!

"GYAAAAH!"

| YOU HAVE INFLICTED WITH SEVERE BURN STATUS |

"Damn it! Overpowering Pressure!"

BOOOM!

The Dark Fire Ring was dissipated on the spot!

In the distance, the Spider Empress was observing my every move.

"Ooh? "Overpowering Pressure"… So… That's the skill she uses to get rid of trapping skills… It seems to be the combination of every Pressure related skills. Magnificent!"

"I wonder if I can combine my new skills too. What could I create? Let's try then! HAHAHA!"

Flash!

"Ah!"

The Spider Empress came like a thundering flash in front of me and casted a myriad of spells in one go!

"I will call this… Meteor Claws!"

BOOOM!

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

A massive fire covered rock claw blasted me hundredths of meters away! However, I was able to stop the mid-air with BIG BIRD GALE WINGS in combination with a myriad of reinforcement buffs.

"Not bad… How about this!"

FLASH!

In mere seconds, the Empress came right ahead of me, like a titan made of rock she clashed with all her might over my tiny body!

BOOOOM!

CLASH!

"Eh?"

Holding the immense amount of pressure was a massive claw made of different magical elements.

"Agh! This again! Here! METEOR SMASH!"

BOOOM!

"GYAAAAAH!"

Using a pair of free limbs, the Empress used a new combination skill, formed by setting her legs on fire and then using the OVERPOWERING ROCK CLASH.

I was once again blown away several meters, even when having all my shields active, I took severe damage!

"Her attacks are massively strong, her defense is almost impenetrable and her speed is amazing, does she even has a weakness now? How can I win?!"

My minds were looking a way to deal with her, there must surely be a way with such a big amounts of skills, there must be a combination, a way!

"Uggh, there are so many combinations… Ah! I'll use this for now then!"

"FAKE BODY ILLUSION!"

FLASH FLASH FLASH!

"Hmm, what is she trying to do? Everything is useless…"

"TANDEM SKILL: LAVA ZONE!"

BOOOOM!

Around the battlefield, a big ocean of lava was created, cornering the Spider Empress on a singular spot.

"Ah! You can even use such tricks, but this does not matter at all, look! Activate skill: LEVITATE!"

"What?! She got levitate? No way…"

"Hahaha! You are hopeless, I am invincible now, and you cannot defeat me, now surrender and become my puppet!"

"Like hell I will! You will just suck up my power like you did before to those Emperors!"

"Main Mind! I got something! Let's use those old skills from the Monkey Emperor, I have an itch that they will become useful somehow! In addition, this Lava Zone will not be wasted, we also have Lava Affinity, even If we don't have Lava control, we can still mold it with fire magic!"

"Yes! Also, activate: FLAME BODY!"

FLUOSH!

My entire body became covered in flames, but I didn't took any damage, and the Burn status was completely negated!

"Eh?! I didn't know this skill worked like this! With this I can completely negate fire skills!"

In the distance, the Spider Empress looked surprised.

"Eh?! FLAME BODY?! HOW!"

"HAHAHA! Surprised, old hag? It's all going according to plan! Mana Zone! Expand!"

FLUOSH!

I quickly took this opportunity to massively expand my Mana Zone covering the entire of the Lava Zone, and suddenly, something strange happened!

| LAVA ZONE AND MANA ZONE ARE COMPATIBLE, DO YOU WANT TO COMBINE THEM? |

"WHAT?! YES!"

| LAVA ZONE AND MANA ZONE HAVE BEEN COMBINED |

FLUOOOSH!

Suddenly, the massive amounts of Lava started to come together and became a flaming sun over my head!

"What?! This! How can you do that?!"

| CERTAIN CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED |

| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: OVERPOWERING SUN |

"AAH! This even became a skill! Does that mean that it existed already somewhere?!"

FLASH!

As if it was a flaming meteor, the Empress came right for my head!

"METEOR CLAWS plus METEOR SMASH!!"

BOOOOM!

After the impact, the only thing the Spider Empress was able to feel was immense pain!

"EH? GGGGYYAAAAAAAHHHHH...!"

The one who received her attack wasn't me, but the massive sun that I could now control!

The Empress was enveloped in severe pain as her limbs started to melt after directly hitting hot lava!

"GGRRAAAAHHH….! Th-this! You can even manipulate it?!"

"It seems so… What's wrong? You don't have FLAME BODY like me?"

"I-I… (H-how could these two don't have even have something so simple like Flame Body to negate fire damage!)"

FLASH!

Suddenly, the Spider Empress flew some meters away and took some distance from me!

"Oh? Finally taking some distance, it seems like you finally recognize my might! Hmmm!"

"Tsk! You cheeky brat… However, I still possess a myriad of strong spells to blast you out of existence! Behold! Combine spells! ADVANCED DARK MAGIC and ADVANCED DARK FLAMES CREATION! CRIMSON DEMONIC RAIN!"

FLUOOSH!

From the sky, a massive magic ring was created, and from it, immense dark colored fireballs started to rain from the sky!

"Ah! Is it possible to use this sun as a shield?"

"Lazy Mind here! Yes it is! After it becoming a skill, you can actually manipulate it and mold the lava as you please!"

"No way… that's kind of overpowered…"

"Alright then! OVERPOWERING SUN! Plus COMBINED MAGIC MANIPULATION! Lava Shield!"

FLUOOOSH!

I was able to mold the Lava formation around myself, completely covering me from any dark fireballs!

"Hmm, let's open a little bit here, to be able to see outside…"

However, the only thing that I was able to see was the surprised face of the Spider Empress!

"GAAH…! H-HOW?!"

"Damn it! Damn it! If only I had water magic! (My potent physical attacks are completely blocked and I take heavy damage every time I hit the lava formation, in addition, she can easily block any type of magic that I throw! How could the tables be so easily turned on her side!? How can she get out of sticky situations so easily?! Does she have three more brains or something?!)"

"Hmmm, did you finished doing your attacks? It's my turn then!"

"Main mind, use this skill!"

"Ah! I see!"

"Activate skill: BASIC MYTHICAL CIRCLE MAGIC: YGGDRASIL 9 WORLDS! And QUICK SPELL FUSION!"

FLUOSH!

Massive magic circles started to rotate around the OVERPOWERING SUN, and a myriad of glowing lumps showed from the depths of the earth, they were the 9 element spirits!

Using the power of QUICK SPELL FUSION they forcibly fused on the Sun, creating a majestic spectacle of multiple colors!

"TH-THIS! Impossible!"

From the top of the Sun, a strong and firm tree made completely of Lava was slowly growing.

"N-nooo, this skill! It's the ultimate attack of the Monkey! How can you fuse this to that Sun?!"

"BEHOLD! My strongest spell! MYTHICAL FUSION SPELL YGGDRASYL 9 WORLDS: MUSPELHEIM!"

After the massive lava tree finished growing, it started to produce a strong a red colored fruit from one of his branches, resembling a tiny world.

"Ah! Th-this! I must run! Activate every speed boosting spell!"

FLASH!

Completely overpowered, the Spider Empress choose to run away in fear of losing her life!

"That won't work… I really wish I could eat your meat, but you will probably become complete dust after this… what a pity"

The red fruit started to glow in 9 colors, representing every spirit, and then it started to exude an immensely bright light!

FLASH!

An enormous red colored flash of light was fired from the fruit, pursuing the Spider Empress!

"No! No! I was supposed to win! You are cheating! This is not how it was supposed to be! I was going to win! I was going to conquer this world! Not you! Not you! GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

BOOOOOOOOM!

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! No… Impossible… this demon… it's the real… monster…"

The massive flash of light slowly vaporized every inch of the Spider Empress, causing her incredible pain as her skin, exoskeleton and inner organs slowly turned into dust!

What was left of the former Spider Empress was no more than a gigantic and deep pit, flowing with hot Lava.

| YOU GAINED 12590 EXP |

| YOU GAINED FIVE LEVELS! | | LEVEL 16/30 EXP 0953/2850 |

"Haaah… it is done… Wait… Shadow Soul Crystal Ball? What is that…? I have never received a drop from a monster before… Ugh, but I am too tired to check it right now…"

I slowly deactivated the OVERPOWERING SUN as I slowly flew to the ground.

FLASH

FLASH

"Master Kireina, we saw everything, did you do this?!"

"Guuuuu!"

"Agh! Do not touch me Rimuru… And yes, we finally got rid of these Emperors… But… I… couldn't save the meat! Buuaaaaahhh! Snif"

"Hahaha! Funny as ever, even after getting out of such a dangerous situation, Master Kireina!"

"Did you two got rid of the army? Why didn't I get any EXP from you two then? A level up could had helped me a lot in the middle of the battle…"

"Ah! It seems like the shared experience from a party can only work in a short distance of at least 50 meters, we were hundredths of meters away, Master, I am sorry, but the Emperors were really very far away from their own army…"

"Ah, so that's it, we need to think more carefully about this leveling tactic, we could use leveling as a viable tactic to heal mid battle… I wonder how I can abuse such a system…"

"Ma-master Kireina, why don't you forget such talks for now, and focus on resting, your Stamina stat is extremely low right now"

"Guuu…!"

"I guess you are right… Ah, it's already morning?"

In the horizon, the big morning sun greeted my face with his brilliant light.

"Hmm… It feels so good, I guess I can…"

Suddenly, I started to feel very sleepy and dizzy.

"Master Kireina! Hang in there!"

"Guuuuu!!!"

.

.

.

When I woke up, I found myself in the middle of a big hall, with strong pillars, showing paintings on the walls, they seemed to represent different types of the monster that inhabit this Forest.

"Where… am I?"

"Hhhhmmmmmmmm…"

"Ah!"

Suddenly, an immense pressure, something that I have never had feel in this life hit me like a truck!

THUM!

Just by this pressure alone, I felt like I was being pressed against the ground by a massive mountain!

"Gaaahh! Wh-what is this?!"

"Hhhmmmmmmm… Children… From… Another world…"

"AH! Whos there?!"

"Children… congratulations… you defeated all this forest Emperors… I am finally… closer to unify the monster that live here… you have… my thanks…"

"Who are you? Why are you so thankful? Answer me! Gaah!"

"Come… to the deeps of this forest… in the dungeon… I await you… free me from my chains… And you shall be rewarded…"

"Wait! Hey!"

.

.

.

"AAH! WAIT!"

When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the middle of my room, there were a lot of monkeys and wolves surrounding me with worried faces.

"Master Kireina, you are awake!"

"Mastaaaaa!"

"Master Kireina!"

"Master!"

"You are finally awake, Master!"

Countless monkeys and wolves greeted me with happy expressions.

"What's going on? Why are you all around my bed, it's kind of creepy you know…"

"Ah! Master Kireina, you see… since the fight with the three emperors you have been sleeping for 4 days…"

，

"WHAT?!"

| DAY 15 |

When I woke up Wagyu told what has happened since I lost consciousness, it seems that the enemy army was almost completely annihilated but some still were able to ran away.

About how many lives we lost, 19 monkeys and 5 Wolves lost they lives in this war. I let both the monkeys and wolves do they own rituals for the dead and I reassembled the surviving battle-capable monkeys and wolves into new teams.

"At the very least, the weaker monkeys only had 4 causalities and the Crimson Wolf pups are all fine with the mothers, including the pregnant one"

"In addition, no Squad Leader lost they lives, and all of them were able to hang for very extended periods of time."

"Hmm? How are they?"

"Well, most of their wounds have been healed, and some monkeys even evolved in the last nights after such immense fight"

"Evolved? Did they became Emperors, Wagyu?"

"Hahaha, not exactly, it seems that because Master possess this title they were forced to evolve in to a different variant, it would be better if you could see it by yourself, Master"

"Alright then…"

After I went to meeting of the Squad Leaders, I realized what happened, every monkey leader looked completely different to each other, and it seems that every single one of them evolved to a different variant of the mountain monkey.

Kizuato and Yukan'na evolved into a strong gorilla-looking monkey, they told me that the variant name was "Lord of the Mountains", they almost doubled in size and their arms were bulging with strong muscles, the new evolution also came with a unique skills named | LORD OF THE MOUNTAIN ATTACK STANCE | and | LORD OF THE MOUNTAIN DEFENSE STANCE |.

It seems to be a monster focused on exchanging stances in battle, increasing his stats according to the flow of the battle.

"Haaah… such power, I really wish I could eat you two and obtain this power…"

"Hahaha! Master Kireina, you are always able to make us laugh with such jokes!"

"Ye-yeah! It's just a joke! BUWAHAHAHAHA!"

"Main mind, you are pretty sick…"

"It wouldn't be so bad to eat them…"

"Lazy Mind, what are you talking about?"

Meiji evolved into a surprisingly humanoid looking monkey, he told that the name of this variant was named "Sage of the Mountain" and it had incredibly high affinity with the 9 elements spirits.

He also got two new skills: | SAGE OF THE MOUNTAIN MANA EFFICIENCY | and | NATURAL MANA DRAW | which made him have almost unlimited amounts of MP! Because his skills would cost less MP and he would be able to slowly draw MP naturally from the world itself!

"Meiji, you look very tasty now…"

"A-ah! Haha… Please Master, I am nothing compared to someone as talented as you in magic!"

Goruden and Jinsoku evolved to a very elongated variant of monkeys, with very flexible limbs and amazing speed, the name of this variant was "Mountain Shadow", it was quite a weird name for just a monkey variant but they told me that it made sense with the skill they got from them: | SHADOW MANIPULATION MASTERY | and | SHADOW PROJECTILES |.

"Oooh, so it's like a ninja class, but you guys already got thief and ninja so it's like double ninja? That's cheat…"

"It is all thanks to you Master"

The other Leaders of the Cooking, Crafting and Alchemy and Furniture and Carpentry couldn't show up for the meeting but they didn't evolve as they don't enter in direct combat.

"Oh right, I need to go grab that Adamantite thing from the Hot Springs Volcano area… So Kusuri can finally craft my long awaited Synthesis skill!"

The three wolves leaders also evolved, they were even more interesting as they all evolved very differently to the classic Crimson Wolf Emperor or Wagyu!

The Experienced Kakensha evolved into a golden variant of Wolves, it was named "Golden Champion Wolf" it had a bright golden fur paired with beautiful red colored eyes and red markings around his fur, most of his old scars were healed when evolving and he even became a little bit younger. He also told me that this variant specializes in being a strong defensive Wolf that can easily draw enemies to attack him and counterattack with strong blows and bites. He got two special skills out of this: | SACRED HOWL | and | SACRED RIPOSTE |, from these skills, I could see that he obtained a high affinity with the Light Element.

The Calm Tsuchimizu, the wolf blessed with very high Water and Earth affinities was granted a special and unique evolution; therefore, he obtained the same title as me | FIRST OF A KIND |, the name of this blue colored wolf was "Sacred Spring Wolf". It was able to manipulate both water and earth as he pleased, even being able to easily mold nature to his liking with his two new skills: | ADVANCED WATER AND EARTH MANIPULATION | and | SACRED ZONE CREATION |.

It seems that the last skill "Sacred Zone Creation" let him bless a specific place, increasing things like fertility or even wealth, so I told him to bless the entire cave. Afterwards, he will join and dedicate some of his time with the Furniture and Carpentry (and now mining) team, to make they work easier.

Lastly, the Energetic Kurimuzonhōn, the wolf with a beautiful crimson horn doubled his size and retained his crimson fur, but out of his head three majestic red horns shined brilliantly, the name of such an intimidating wolf was "Crimson Horned Demonic Wolf", thanks to this evolution he obtained an immense fire affinity, surpassing even mine! In addition, he got two very strong skills named: | CRIMSON HORN FLAMING TACKLE | and | BLESSING OF THE CRIMSON DEMONS |.

After some more talk, I designed the new teams with the remaining wolves and monkeys.

Because there were exactly 8 Squad Leaders, I decided to make 4 teams this time, being led by two leaders, this way, they will be able to easily handle they groups easily, also every group will have both monkeys and wolves, to even further increase companionship. Each group will be composed of 14 members (including both leaders) there was one monkey left so I put it on the fourth team, this being the only team with 15 members.

The teams are as follows:

First team, Brawl and Magic: Kizuato & Meiji.

Second team, Golden Duo: Goruden and Kakensha, because they are both golden colored…

Third team, Stealth and Explosive Power: Kurimuzonhōn and Jinsoku.

Finally, the fourth team, Bravery and Blessings: Yukan'na and Tsuchimizu.

"Very well, that should be it! Now…"

I quickly left the Squads Leaders room and went right to see Kusuri.

I found him right on the middle of creating special potions on a big cauldron that he tasked Shokunin on making for him.

"Ah! Master Kireina, I am glad you are finally awake, do you feel fine?"

"Of course I am fine! Do not worry Kusuri, in more important matters, what are you crafting?"

"Oh? These? I have recently unlocked more creation recipes with my special skill: | UNIVERSAL CRAFTER AND ALCHEMIST RECIPE BOOK | and I was trying out these new potions that would make the recovery of HP and MP in battle easier"

"Oooh? How effective are they?"

"I still don't know exactly, mind if you could try them?"

"Hmm, sure, why not?"

I drank both HP and MP potions, they tasted like very sweet fruit nectars from earth, but I could not tell the exact fruit flavor.

| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: HP POTION SECRETION |

| YOU LEARNED A NEW SKILL: MP POTION SECRETION |

"WH-WHAT?!"

"Master Kireina! What the matter?!"

"I-I… I got skills from these potions!"

"What?! That is amazing! How are they called, what are they function?"

After some testing with Kusuri I found out that these new skills let me secrete the same potion that I made from my body, making restoring HP and MP even easier.

However, there was a trick on these skills, specially the | MP POTION SECRETION | because the amount of MP potion that it would secrete would be around 50 MP of restoration. However, the cost of the skill itself was 70 MP and 30 Stamina, which in theory would make me lose MP instead of getting more, so it was not as broken as I initially thought. The same was for the | HP POTION SECRETION | which was able to generate HP potion from my body which would heal around 200 HP, but it costed a whopping 80 MP! Just my | BASIC HEAL | that only cost 30 MP would be enough for me, I don't even have so much max HP to begin with.

"Even if these skills cannot directly benefit you, Master Kireina, they can benefit the whole community, with this, we will be able to easily create Potions without the need of rare herbs! This is wonderful, please Master Kireina, and help me store some of bottles of potion before you depart! If I give this to other named monkeys, everyone will become Potion makers!"

"Ugh… I get your point, fine…"

After making around 8 bottles of both HP and MP Potions I told Kusuri about the Synthesis accessory and that I would be going to look for that Adamantite thing, he happily replied saying that he would be awaiting my swift return.

"Ugh… that monkey really suck me dry… I need to eat… Ah, right! That Salamander Empress meat, I still got some chunks on my Item Box, I should be going to the kitchen then…"

"I wonder how the Salamander Empress would taste…"

"Probably heavenly! It will be a fitting meal for such a beautiful existence like me!"

"Hahaha! I am very hungry too; we all have the same stomach after all…"

"Ugh, I wonder if the meat is fine."

I swiftly flew to the kitchen and found many monkeys eating new meals that I have never seen before, most were fried Alligator and Dark Squirrel meat, and Hairy Spider Soup.

"Is that Hairy Spider? It look like crab! It gets red when boiled?"

A cooking monkey noticed me and greeted me.

"Master Kireina, yes this is Hairy Spider, if eaten raw it tastes very gross, but when boiled it surprisingly become a delicacy, you should try out the soup!"

"Oh I see!"

It seems like the cooking monkeys did not even wasted the corpses of the enemy army and immediately used them as ingredients, they told me that they had meat reserves for at least an entire month.

After the monkeys brought me loads of food, I started to inspect it.

| HAIRY SPIDER LIMBS SOUP: When the limbs of a grown up Hairy Spider are boiled, its color will change to red and delicious juices will be secreted from its inside meat, creating a nutritious soup. Effect: Grants +3 Strength and Defense for the next 24 hours. Heals 30 MP and 50 Stamina. |

"Uwoooo! This looks good! Thanks for the meal!"

"Oh! Maybe I missed eating their Emperors but these are not bad… Eh?"

From the kitchen, two cooking monkeys came carrying a big plate full of different cooked meats.

"Master Kireina, the Flame Salamander Empress meat is done, just as you asked for; we made it in many different ways"

"Ooohoho! Well done my servants! You can leave now!"

"Finally! The meat of this damned Emperor that put such a big fight! Her power will be mine!"

| FLAME SALAMANDER EMPRESS BIG FRIED STEAK: A delicious steak made from the Flame Salamander Empress meat. Effect: Grants +4 Magic and Defense for the next 24 hours. Heals 70 MP and 40 Stamina. |

The meat tasted like a very high quality Eel from Earth, it also had a unique spicy flavor into his juices. I was able to feel the intense flames that the Empress once wielded on her back!

| YOU HAVE RECEIVED AN ITEM ON YOUR ITEM BOX: FLAMING SOUL CRYSTAL BALL (B) |

"Gaaah! So many powerful skills! Those are all the ones that give me such a bad time! Oh? Another of these soul orbs… What are exactly these? Moreover, why do they appear inside my Item Box out of nowhere? Are they made by the system itself?"

I quickly opened my Item Box and checked on them.

| SHADOW SOUL CRYSTAL BALL (A): A Crystal Ball containing the souls of three powerful beings condensed together. Effect: Consume to increase your soul clarity and density by 20% permanently |

| FLAMING SOUL CRYSTAL BALL (B): A Crystal Ball containing the flaming soul of a strong existence condensed on it. Effect: Consume to increase soul clarity and density by 8% permanently |

"Soul… Clarity? What is that?"

I quickly browsed through every system function but never found anything about Soul Clarity and Density.

"Geh… the only way to find out is by eating them I guess…"

| SYSTEM ERROR |

| ITEM CANNOT BE EATEN |

"What…? Then how do you consume it…? So strange… Maybe it requires some special soul devouring skill or something, well nothing to do about it for now…"

I saved the Crystal Balls inside my Item Box and continued eating my meal.
