Chapter 1466: Holy Flames

I resisted the intensity of the black flames with everything I had on me! I concentrated my entire mind into the process and breathed heavily, containing my own breath for the moment, and then covering my entire body with Water and Ice through the help of Aquamarine, finally cooling down the flames melting my cocoon and boiling my insides! It felt so agonizing to be boiled alive that I really don't want to experience this shit anymore!

Oh damn! After being burned by flames for so long I was finally able to actually learn the Fire Resistance Skill, and also Pain Resistance, to make the agony of living more bearable. With this newfound power, I pushed forward, reaching Avarice once more! He quickly began fighting physical once more, which he seemed more adept to than using actual magic. He began punching, kicking me, and even giving me headbutts. His goddamn body was incredibly hard and my spikes were only leaving shallow wounds over his body!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

We clashed against one another constantly, I purified his body while he tried to crush me. At times, he unleashed another Dark Sun on my face, but I fought back by firing Purification constantly. While we fought, he began to wonder how I was able to withstand so much damage and also have seemingly no end to my Mana.

"That's because caterpillars are a superior race of beings!" I laughed, as Avarice immediately realized I was just fucking around with him. Furious, he kicked me into the skies. But I held my ground (in the air) and stopped midway through, using Telekinesis to throw myself down once more. The bastard greeted me with a Dark Cannon, a powerful cannon of darkness which engulfed me.

BOOOOOOMMM!!!

However, I ran straight through the explosion, leaving black smoke everywhere, he opened his eyes wide open in shock as I fell flat over his face. Finally, my spikes were suddenly able to pierce through his flesh more easily. I suddenly realized through a little Appraisal that he was lacking a ton of MP! Was his super durability all the result of this huge amount of Mana he had? Now that I've finally drained through it and he had overused it, his body was slowly going back to the feeble stupid guy he was!

"AAAGH!"

He cried like a sissy as I crushed his handsome face, this time it remained ugly after I hit it, and right after that, I unleashed a spiraling vortex of Holy Flames into his face, which engulfed him!

"Blazing Vortex! Burn to a crisp, you damn batman!" I roared, as I angrily infused more and more Mana into my Holy Flames, pushing through his magic resistance, and beginning to finally burn through his skin!

"T-This is impossible…! Y-You can wield holy power and everything else… What sort… of monster are you?! This is inconceivable…! How can you be so strong???!!!"

"Because I am a caterpillar!"

"STOP WITH THAT LAME JOKEEEEEEEE…!"

BOOOOOMMM!!!

Screaming his last words, Avarice exploded into pieces, consumed by my holy flames created through the combination of Fireball and Purification, he was finally dead! And with his death, an explosion of Purifying flames reached into the rest of the army surrounding us, like meteors, the explosion of flames separated into many pieces and began exploding in the faces of his soldiers. I ran around them, without letting any single one of them escape and extended large hands using Telekinesis and Divine Aura together, catching them and crushing each demon as bugs.

The slaughter was rather swift, thousands died in minutes, a few managed to get away, but ended hitting the barrier and were promptly massacred by my Chaotic Beasts… We had won. I looked down and saw all the elves resting in the floor, healed. Luminous was resting while holding his back over a large building, sighing in relief.

"Phew… Are you alright now?" I wondered.

"Y-Yeah… I've done it… I… Ugh… I am so tired… I've got a long way to go if I really want to be treated as the God I told you to call me as…" He sighed. "I am a failure of a God…"

"Don't say such things! You're merely in the Living Deity Stage, you'll grow stronger after going through more Realms." I said with a nod.

"L-Living Deity? What nonsense are you talking about?" He wondered.

"Hm… Right, Realms are not a thing here. Actually it's just all levels even for gods?" I wondered.

"Indeed. I need to level up more, I have to defeat more of the threats of this world… I am yet to become like my mighty father." He sighed. Suddenly, I noticed the Elf King walking towards us. "Oh right, the Elf King joined me midway through, with his help, I was able to fend off the demons more easily, of course, your minions also did good. I didn't knew you could summon things to begin with!"

"It is one of my many talents, aside from my wonderful beauty." I said with a smile.

"Beauty… right." Said Luminous while raising an eyebrow.

"Uugh… Whenever I finally evolve into a fairy you'll see!" I said rather frustrated.

"It seems that things went well… Hahh… Thank you, Kireina, for helping defend the Kingdom… I owe you everything." The King felt tired, very tired. Well, of course! He just lost his Lifespan and he just wants to walk straight out of that like nothing? He was still healing to begin with…

"For now you should rest." Said White, floating at his side.

"A talking… broken spear?" He wondered, tilting his head. "But yeah, I guess… you're right… Ugh."

While we decided to slowly settle things down and help the people wake up, I saw the various System Notifications…

Ding!
