Epic Of Caterpillar

737 [Scripted Event: War Against Gods] 19/?: Ryo VS Pimplet!

-----

As Vudia and Ailine defeated a Demon General unaware of its position and importance in the army, El Dorado kept breaking through the Demon Ranks and slaughtering the armies.

Vudia and Ailine combined their magic, generating several golems made of gold to aid them on their conquer over Kururulipe's army a bit more.

The surrounding Demon Generals could not help but instinctively shift their armies around such a golem, trying to aim at the Empire's walls, which seemed impenetrable.

"Our airborne army was Archupete's army! She was completely wiped out by the wall itself…! How are you even planning in breaking through this immense obstacle?!" asked one of the generals, Pimplet, the 9th Demon General, known as the Little Devil General.

"Sir, the wall seems to be fighting our Queen, and it is almost completely distracted, perhaps we can dig through the ground and-"

"What the heck are you talking about, you idiot?! Dig on the ground?! I am not a fucking Imp to begin digging in the ground!" roared Pimplet.

The small general then flapped his tiny wins and generate an enormous mass of phantom from his body, slapping to death his lowly subordinate who had come with the brilliant idea of digging the ground…

Pimplet was a rather vicious general, although his size might not give it away at first glance.

"Anyone else have some idea?" asked Pimplet.

"Maybe we could… fly with our own wings?" asked another Imp.

"That's… GENIUS! How did I never come out with that idea?! …If it was not because we can't fly above twenty meters, and this damn wall is way above this height! And if you have not noticed, it had generated some kind of barrier with its Aura!" said Pimplet, slaughtering another of his soldiers mercilessly.

"A golem with an aura…?!"

"Impossible…!"

"Then what do we do?!"

"What we always do anyway, we wait for the armies to come near us, and we wipe them out! Have we not do this all the time? That this one Empire seems slightly off doesn't mean that it will be anything too hard… Well, the Wall itself is ridiculous and there is also that one giant gold golem and- Well, maybe the Gods dint predicted all of this…" muttered Pimplet, finally realizing that perhaps things weren't going according to plans.

He then noticed that from within the Empire, groups of mechanical warriors and giant summoned beasts such as Dragons began to storm the armies of hundreds of thousands with ease, even their overwhelming numbers seemed to not work as well as they had expected.

Usually, Thanato's strategies were incredibly primitive, and this was all because the Demon Gods that controlled the Kingdom believed that brute and savage strength was always the answer against measly mortals.

This was because they thought that no other mortal armies could even stand a chance against their vast armies and strong generals, all backed up by the Greedy Queen who was able to channel part of their power through her eyes, and she even had the Sin of Greed too, giving her an even greater strength in battle.

It always worked at the end anyway, so even within the Demon Kingdom there was not much incantation to improve their battle tactics, and always progressed through this rudimentary strategy and thought process.

The Demon Kingdom of Thanatos mostly invaded other Kingdoms or Nations so the mortals could progress and grow stronger, the Demon God's main intention was to make their force grow, making their mortals rise to godhood through these strategies.

And what was the best place to find a ton of EXP aside from Dungeons?

Wars.

And through that, they also managed to secure more territories around the Border Continent, while suppressing any small Lone God that was taking care of such Nations and their mortals.

The resources harvested from these wars went directly back to the Kingdom, where the mortals nourished themselves with the food they earned instead of the one that the Gods could gift them, making the Kingdom quickly develop into one where savagery and brutish strength dominated everything.

Most of the Demon Generals if not all of them lived with that thought process and beliefs, which were strengthened even more through their church of the Demon Gods.

Indeed, their morality was incredibly different compared to that of Nations in the Central Continent or the Azuma Empire, creating a lot of conflict between these forces.

However, due to a large combination of factors, such forces never dared to attack the Thanatos Kingdom directly, and the nation of demons simply kept growing more and more, developing stronger warriors through many generations, until the present Demon Generals, who were all exceptionally strong, most of them being at the pinnacle of a mortal.

If Kireina and her family might have met them earlier… perhaps things might have been more in their favor.

But now that Kireina was in the level of fighting Gods themselves, and her family was quickly catching up to this, there was much that an enormous army of mortals could really do.

Even someone as strong as the Greedy Queen who had all these powers and a bit of divine power from all the gods that blessed her was struggling to fight and find some kind of weakness to Wall, who had been upgraded many times through her life.

Born to be a wall to protect the Empire, she was now battling a Realm Menace itself, and she seemed to be receiving and resisting the Greedy Queen's hits with great defense and outstanding regeneration, while retaliation with attacks of her own too.

And while this fight unfolded, one of Kireina's children finally reached the battlefield, glancing at the Demon Army in front of him.

"It seems that I am alone into this? I am glad Arasa evacuated in time… Although those Gods managed to damage our Empire and killed some citizens, the mother seems to be taking care of four of them, while Ailine threw three of them far away… I should take care of this trash before fighting the real deals," said Ryo, glaring at Pimplet.

Arasa was one of Ryo's best friends, a former Half-Wind Lord girl that was once part of the Troll army that once invaded the Dark Moon Kingdom when Kireina was still a butterfly.

She and Ryo had been friends for months now, usually training, exploring the dungeon, and doing many other things together alongside their team of friends.

However, Ryo held romantic feelings for the brave Arasa and did not want her to participate in this war, mostly because he was too worried about her and thought that he wouldn't be able to take care of her through the entire ordeal.

Arasa seemed to have understood Ryo's words, as she retreated into the Lower Realm alongside Ryo's friends and other armies of soldiers that were not qualified to participate in a battle where the attacks of Gods could fall from the skies at any moment.

Ryo clenched his fist, as he held immense anger within him, after seeing how many of the people that were about to evacuate were annihilated by the Gods attacks, he seemed to hold a strong grudge against them, and if possible, he wanted to at least take the life of one of them, while also drinking their blood, if possible.

As those three Gods approached the Empire once more, Ryo decided to use this little window he had to gather with his siblings, but now that he had stumbled in front of a Demon General, he decided to take care of him immediately, and get some Exp in the process.

Well, he did not want to admit it, but he was also rather thirsty, so drinking their blood was also his intention, seeing them as nothing else but a little snack in the way.

"Those Demon Gods really thought that we were this weak? Wall herself is holding back the Realm Menace of Greed… And two Demon Generals were already killed," said Ryo.

The Demon Army had just appeared a few minutes ago, and two of their Demon Generals were already killed, however, it seemed that the nature of these demons was so vicious that most of them did not seem to falter that much even when something that should be more shocking to them happened.

Pimplet's enormous army quickly moved towards Ryo, as they had noticed that his strength was rather admirable based only on his presence, which the boy was actually concealing… for the most part.

Enormous demonic beasts resembling giant bats, wolves, and ogres ran towards Ryo, such beasts made around 50% of the army that moved towards him, and seemed to be most of the 'filler' used for the Demon Kingdom's armies.

"Small fry… Divine Fighting Spirit Aura Release!" muttered Ryo, still standing as he released a sigh, his Aura expanded, shaping itself as countless arms and legs around almost a kilometer!

"Hm, I am not as good as a mother yet… But I am getting there," said Ryo with a calm smile, closing his eyes as he unleashed thousands of fighting techniques of all kinds, combined all together into his Aura, which shaped itself as his arms, legs, and many weapons he wielded and practiced with since a very young age.

The enormous attacks which extended all around the army seemed to baffle the soldiers, as something that was not even completely physical, like a wave of ethereal essence fell over them, shaping as many things and crushing them all into meat paste within seconds of having been conjured!

"GggGGggYyyyYYYYYyyyYaaaAAaaAAAAaaa…!"

"Nnngguuoohhh…!"

"W-We can't even… fight against this?! NNGGYAAAH…!"

"Run! Run for your- Gyyaaah!"

The pond of flesh, crushed bones, and blood quickly began to expand around the entire army as Ryo did not even move from his place.

Ryo raised his hands, as he began to manipulate the blood around him.

Flash!

The blood began to fly up into the sky, forming a large sphere of blood, which he took and slurped like a delicious and refreshing drink.

"Phew, that really hits the spot… Oh, I really gained a ton of EXP even if they were all small fry, they were hundreds of thousands after all… Hm? Oh, there's one alive…" muttered Ryo, directing his crimson eyes towards Pimplet, who had somehow fended off Ryo's immensely ridiculous Aura with all of his Phantom Aura and other techniques.

He was trembling in the ground, deep into a crater, barely gasping for air.

"Hm, you seem quite promising… Sadly, this is as far as you go, little guy," said Ryo, his malice growing stronger as he flew towards Pimplet with enormous speed, his entire body was covered in muscles that were as hard as Divine Materials, he was like a god of fighting that had descended into the surface!

"W-What kind of monster is this guy?!" muttered Pimplet, jumping out of the crater as he noticed Ryo flashing towards him, as he released his Aura and threw it towards him!

BOOM!

"S-Shit! I will have to use it! Divine Beast Body Parts!" cried Pimplet, as his body flashed brightly, as enormous mutations started to happen across his entire being.

"Oh, mother once told me about those…" said Ryo with a surprised look, as he shaped his Aura like an enormous fists and let them fall over Pimplet without mercy!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"W-Wait, let me transform at least…! NNNGGYAAAAH…!"

"Transform? My mother always said to never let anyone transform in front of you," said Ryo.

Pimplet's flesh began to turn into minced meat as the Divine Beast Body Parts glowed brightly, covering Pimplet's soul and shaping it as a grotesque ogre made of purple-colored phantasmal soul and slime.

"Oh, you're still alive? Well, whatever is left of you… Ah, what a letdown… I really thought I would get some kind of challenge…" muttered Ryo, as Pimplet roared monstrously, unleashing a rain of jabs over him from all sides, as gigantic explosions unfolded all across the battlefield.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

"GRAAAAHHH…!"

Pimplet then released its own Demonic Phantom Aura, shaping it as countless spears and trying to impale Ryo from all sides!

Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

BOOM!

Pimplet then stopped its onslaught, glaring at the enormous crater he generated as he sighed.

"Is it… done?" he muttered.

The smoke dissipated as Ryo stood there, cleaning the dirt on his muscular body.

"Yeah, I have the same question. Are you done?" asked Ryo, stepping into the ground as enormous cracks emerged all around him, the entire ground flew as he used a world-breaking speed and strength to jump, nearing Pimple's head.

"Fighting Spirit Jabs!"

Ryo's fists approached Pimplet at an enormous speed, as even wind itself began to break apart!

All of his fists began to glow as if they were beginning to bet set on fire, all clashing against Pimplet, a respected and feared Demon General within the Thanatos Kingdom.

"Y-You're fucking kidding me…" muttered the general, as his entire face was blown off, and his entire body exploded due to the enormous force put into Ryo's fists, which all flowed and inflated Pimplet's enormous body until it simply exploded like a balloon!

BOOM!

Ryo devoured the General's soul alongside what remained of his body with his bare fist through his Divinity Devouring Skill, feeling a slight increase in power.

"Hm, not bad… Oh, this guy had an Epic Skill... Cool? I will just give the reward to mother, she likes to eat these things…" thought Ryo, walking through the corpses as he rushed towards his destination.
