Epic Of Caterpillar

[Day 97]

Today I woke up quite late as I found myself over Bronte's warm chest. She was soundly asleep so I silently stood up.

As I went outside of the house I settled inside the massive floating carriage, I found Rimuru, Mady, and Adelle cooking for the whole group of Snakeman.

She was mostly using the countless crystal crabs we had to spare, making different preparations bust mostly soup and hot pot.

The Snakeman was starving so everyone had the time to fill up their bellies for the first time in years.

I joined the whole group as I ate with all of them, they had stopped being so fearful and were more open with us. However, they still had barely any intelligence and were more like pets…

Anyways, after two hours, when everyone finally ate, I quickly summoned another giant floating slime which was being commanded by two flesh and slime minions. They were surprised about seeing another floating slime, kneeling down and worshipping me as a deity once again.

As I saw them flying towards the Kingdom over the floating slime, the rest of my wives, children, and servants woke up. Perhaps because of the commotion that the Snakeman caused.

When I saw my two children, I noticed that they had slight changes in their appearance and power.

Amiphossia evolved last night, becoming five meters tall, her new race was [Phantasmal White Giant Lamia Vampire], aside from her increase on size, her eyes became intense red and her beauty was comparable or even surpassed Nesiphae in some aspects. She was wearing a big white dress that came with a [Body Adaptability] Chest Plate that my flesh and slime minions made.

On the other side, Ryo evolved into [Sacred Four Elemental Fists Ashura Vampire]. His hair changed from silver to black and his skin blackened a little bit, resembling a slight tan. His appearance was now of a fully adult young man and his strong yet slim muscles covered his entire body. He was wearing some loose Japanese styled clothes that he took a liking for. Alongside wood sandals.

From this evolution, they already reached Kaiser level most likely, being at least twice as strong as before.

While everyone else was having breakfast, I began to browse through my [Class Tree], as I looked at my potential next main class. Now that I evolved, it seems that I gained some special benefits. The best one is the ability to change classes whenever I want without having to wait for a certain level of evolution.

I also gained 100 Skill Points and Sub Skill Points. Making a total of 154 Skill Points and 123 Sub Skill Points.

Because the Troll Warrior class didn't have anything interesting anymore, I decided not to spend any more points on it and saved them for my next class.

Some of the "advanced" or "overclass" that interested me the most was [Blossoming Thunder Princess], [High Dragoon], [High Necromancer], [Dark Shadow Martial Artist], etc.

However, as I reached the last class on the list, a strange name appeared.

[Demon Overlord of Lust]

"Oh?"

After comparing this class with the rest, it seemed to be the best one by far, even better than any human class I could ever get by consuming their blood.

[Demon Overlord of Lust (Unique): A Unique class given only to the holder of the Sin of Lust, it contains several mind-controlling and charming related skills alongside the ability to draw the power of the ones in love with you]

[Passive Bonus] [Grants +20 to all stats and +100 to Charisma]

[Skills]

[Savage Love (20 SP)], [Charming Tower (40 SP)], [Lovely Instance (20 SP)]

[Love Connection (50 SP)], [A Change of Heart (40 SP)], [Sexy Provocation (20 SP)]

[Alluring Martial Arts (40 SP)], [Love Extraction (30 SP)], [Global Charming Illusion (70 SP)]

[Brainwash Master (60 SP)], [Corrupt Love (40 SP)], [Lovely Love Beam! (60 SP)]

[Permanent Passive Buffs]

[+100 Charisma (50 SP)], [+200 Charisma (80 SP)], [Magic and Charisma +120 (140 SP)]

[All Stats +50 (180 SP)]

The amount of skills was certainly amazing. It seemed weird to only obtain three skills when I evolved, so the rest was in here.

Also, the bonuses to stats seem extremely good! Although Charisma would seem worthless with my illusion and hypnosis, the skill [Sin of Lust Destructive Awakening] increases all my stats according to the amount of Charisma that I possess. The more the better for me.

I immediately selected this powerful class as I also gained the passive bonus on my stats.

[You have changed Class to [Demon Overlord of Sin of Lust]

[You gained +20 to all stats and +100 to Charisma]

Hmm, gaining those extra stats really gave me a nice feeling, as if my body was bathed on a divine and warm water, however, this feeling only lasted some seconds, as it quickly went away.

For now, I only bought the skills [Global Charming Illusion] and [Love Connection] for 120 Skill Points, leaving 34 left. Unlike the previous evolutions, I gain around three SP per level instead of one. Making the possibility of getting the rest of the bonus and skills in the future is highly reasonable.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Global Charming Illusion]

[Love Connection]

The first skill seemed to be the strongest, it gave me the power to easily charm and brainwash several people and beings at the same time using my other skills. With some testing and the correct skills, I could easily brainwash more than one hundred people in one go.

Meanwhile, [Love Connection] gives me a powerful boost in all my stats according to the people that love me. If the people that love me are very strong, the boost is amplified.

These Skills cannot be fused, the same goes for the Awakening Skill, which I wanted to fuse with the Thunder Awakening.

After having this settled, everyone was already done so we quickly rushed towards the other half of the biome, awaiting new prey to devour.

Once the Dark Forest Biome ended, there was another "normal" part of the forest, with a nice and peaceful greenery. It could be said that any "biome" is actually due to the Shrine's corruption, which ended up changing the ecosystem of the forest around them.

Just like the last "normal" part of the forest, there could be new species inhabiting this place, so we choose to enter and explore.

The monster in this place was quite diverse. There were various types of bears and rhinos, the strongest one being the Golden Fur Bear and the Wood Shelled Rhinos. These beasts' power was comparable to the Shadow Moon Bear Wolf from yesterday. We killed a big group of these bears that we found inside an underground cave, there were some cubs that I ended up enslaving.

[You gained 1023000 EXP] [The rest of your family gained tons of EXP]

[LEVEL 004/250 EXP 3666966/4500000]

[The rest of your family gained some levels!]

[You successfully enslaved 6 Golden Bear Cubs] [183/9999]

The Wood Shelled Rhinos walked on big groups while destroying trees on their way, they had a powerful wood shell and strong horns, however, a little bit of fire would quickly burn them into grilled meat.

[You gained 1057000 EXP] [The rest of your family gained tons of EXP]

[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 005/250 EXP 0223966/5000000]

[The rest of your family gained some levels!]

Next were a strange species of wolves named Mystical Eight Limbs Wolves, these were white-colored wolves with blue eyes and a phantasmal aura, they had giant bodies of around 7 meters, eight limbs, and could float.

Amiphossia took the liking on one of them so I enslaved it for her and gave it as a pet/mount, she named it Seishin. The rest were mercilessly killed.

[You gained 746000 EXP] [The rest of your family gained some EXP]

[LEVEL 005/250 EXP 0969966/5000000]

Lastly, there was another species of insects, this time they were giant white colored tarantulas which bodies were covered on purple eyes. They were named One Hundredth Eyed Albino Tarantulas, and put on some fight, as they were quite proficient on magic and attacked from the distance while trying to run away. However, we were faster and stronger. We just had to keep attacking until they became exhausted, dying from multiple magical attacks from our side.

[You gained 882560 EXP] [The rest of your family gained some EXP]

[LEVEL 005/250 EXP 1852526/5000000]

As it was already midday, it was time for lunch, we found a clear area without many trees as we began preparing lunch.

The meat of the golden bear was incredibly good as if it were the highest quality of all. Probably its golden color was because this was a high-quality meat…

The Wooden Shelled Rhinoceros were rather tough, so I decided to mince the meat into hamburgers and other preparations. I also ate the shell, the eyes, and the horn.

The Eight Limb Wolves had plentiful of meat due to their massive sizes, and its meat was certainly different than normal wolves, as it was white. They also possessed several Phantasmal Spirit Stones inside of their bodies, which we saved for our Kingdom. Their meat was tender and almost tasted like a combination of chicken and fish, nothing like wolves.

Lastly, the Albino Tarantulas were roasted until they became red-colored, inside of their legs they had tasty and tender meat, which tasted like crab and shrimp, with a small bitterness.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Sturdy Gold Fur Coat Creation]

[Raging Rampage]

[Enhanced Horn Strength]

[Phantasmal Essence]

[Phantom Control]

[One-Hundredth Eyes of Arcane Curses]

Hmm, I gained quite a lot of skills, I guess it must be because the monsters have gotten stronger. And because I ate a bunch of different species.

After having a quick rest, we through the forest. As we kept advancing, the temperatures became lower, and those without [Ice Resistance] like the humans had to put on warmer clothes.

Even if they are my slaves, humans cannot get skills from the monsters they devour. It seems that my blessing share has its limitation to only other monsters or demi-humans.

However, to compensate this, they have the natural talent of every human alongside the advanced class system which comes with more bonuses and even free techniques and skills without the need of using SP.

The temperatures became colder because we approached the Ice Shrine Dungeon, which was affecting the surrounding forest.

As we proceeded, the trees became white and some even had crystalline ice fruits, however, there were still some "normal" trees that just got frozen. As we left footprints through the ice, we were quickly surrounded by a big family of Ice Horn Bears, a species of [Giant] type bears with towering bodies surpassing the 12 meters, their fur was as white as snow and they hold a giant ice horn on their foreheads.

They underestimated our strength as I was concealing our auras. These beasts were extremely strong, far surpassing the Shadow Moon Bear Wolf, each one being of probably Mid Kaiser level.

However, they were not pure strength as they could generate a barrage of Ice Spikes to attack from a distance, also, their eyes had the power to instantly freeze weaker beings.

Due to this, Charlotte ended up frozen instantly. Thankfully, I healed her in time using my [Lovely Care: All Ailment Cure]. She was still quite tired of it so I left her resting on the floating carriage with one of my flesh and slime minions which quickly feed her hot soup and tea to warm her body.

When I descended, all the bears were already killed by Lilith, Evan, and my children. Lilith had entered on a rage mode after seeing Charlotte frozen, who was her dear friend. The same was for Evan who saw Lilith as a big sister.

[You gained 642000 EXP from your servants/family share]

[LEVEL 005/250 EXP 2494526/5000000]

My wives were mostly watching the massacred on the side. When I gathered all the meat, we proceeded through the Icy Forest biome.

As we reached the middle of the forest, we encountered several Snow Golems and Ice Golems. Snow Golems were formless and could change their bodies to whatever they wanted, while the Ice Golems were more solid monsters, having humanoid and sturdy figures, with two pale blue flames as eyes.

Just like every golem, they hold a core in the middle of their bodies which is their "true body", after shattering it, their bodies would quickly become inert. The only part of these monsters that could be eaten was their cores. The rest was pure and plain ice and snow.

[You gained 1138600 EXP] [The rest of your family gained tons of EXP]

[LEVEL 005/250 EXP 3633126/5000000]

Because no one except me would eat their cores, I snacked on them while looking for more prey. Eating the cores was like eating a tasteless candy.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Ice and Snow Golem Natural Core]

[Ice and Snow Control]

There were Ice Deers on the proximity, these monsters resembled common deers, however, their bodies were giant, nearing 7 meters each one. Its fur was pure white and their antlers were spiky and sharp, being made of ice.

These furious beasts rushed at us with their strong horn attacks and powerful Ice Magic, there was an Emperor that even managed to enclose us on a [Ice Zone], thinking that it could easily catch us. However, this just made everything easier, as we killed them without any place for them to hide or run. The Emperor lamented his choice as it lost his head.

[You gained 1284900 EXP] [The rest of your family gained tons of EXP]

[LEVEL 005/250 EXP 4918026/5000000]

When we reached the end of the biome, it was already getting late so we ascended towards the floating carriage and had a nice dinner using Ice Bear and Ice Deer meat. Both of these types of meats were delicious and juicy. I didn't gain any skills from these monsters, but their souls were delicious. However, the blood wasn't anything special.

On the other side, I haven't encountered [Fragmented Sins] since the crab cave, so probably I need to kill even stronger monsters, probably of a higher tier.

Wanting to level up more, I left my family sleeping as I descended the forest and massacred countless beasts. I encountered an Ice Bear Emperor and Empress which did give me some skills.

[You gained 1137000 EXP]

[You gained one level!] [LEVEL 006/250 EXP 1055026/5500000]

[You learned the following Skill]

[Ice Cold Tyrant Freezing Hammer of Punishment]

Aside from this, I also entered the Ice Shrine and while using [Stealth] and [Camouflage] and killed eleven Wendigos and eight Yuki-onnas. Just as I can make my blood be a delicious elixir, I can also change it into the deadliest of poisons, that can even corrode spiritual beings. They were easily killed using my magic threads coated with my deadly blood. There wasn't any problem on their population as they were more than two hundred, so I don't think they will be missed.

[You gained 678500 EXP]

[LEVEL 006/250 EXP 1733526/5500000]

[You obtained a new Title]

[Spirit Slayer]

[Enemy of the Spirit Kind]

The Wendigos were ghosts that resembled gigantic black beasts with demonic horns and red eyes. However, this is no more than a facade, as their real "bodies" are inside of them. They resemble small humanoids with pale white skin and several ice horns on their heads. I ended up catching five women, four adult men and two young boys, I didn't have any remorse on this as I feasted on my prey, without leaving any trace.

Yuki-onnas just like on Japanese folklore are beautiful woman that control ice. In this world, they are humanoid semi-corporeal spirits, which possess incredible beauty. Their skin is smooth and white and their eyes resemble beautiful sapphires, alongside long and silky white hair. Most of them wear organic armor kimonos.

Wendigo's meat was tender and sweet, they didn't possess or a soul, as they semi-corporeal bodies were their souls and flesh at the same time. Its taste was almost divine as I couldn't stop devouring their flesh. I even ate the beast-like pelt they use to hide themselves.

Yuki-onnas meat is also tender and has hints of fruits on their flavor, they had a strong magic, which enhanced its healing properties. Every time I bit on their flesh; I quickly recovered all my MP in mere seconds. This flesh could be used as ingredients for making MP Potions.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Ice Materialization]

After such a delicious meal, I wanted to hunt more, but they are more precious as Spirit Stone factories.

Being finally satisfied with these skills, I quickly went back to the floating carriage and slept peacefully.
