Epic of Caterpillar

The Undead Slayer Title was something I got when I fought those giant armies of the dead that the corrupted Elfina led, I believe? Or maybe any of the Undead I fought back then; damn we fought a lot of Undead now that I think about it. This Title was quite useful since then, when I was still weak and growing stronger. It was a Skill that helped at increasing damage dealt against Undead-type foes, as normal.

Once it stacked with my other titles and skills with similar effects, well, it became even deadlier. However, right now, it suddenly evolved! And I believe the trigger was fighting Cosmic Undead. Which are Undead with… Cosmic Powers? Go figure.

[Cosmic Undead Hunter: Lv1]

The Evolved version of the [Undead Slayer: Lv10] Title Skill.

Cosmic Undead are a plague across many worlds, galaxies, and universes. Originating from the Necrotic Plane, a dimension where the undead reign supreme, and other Universes where Undead are also the only beings there, most of them thanks to the invasion of the Necrotic Plane, they are a real menace that threatens the existence of the living.

The legions of the dead, even in space, are relentless. And they will not stop until they consume everything, a common enemy you might find everywhere. So common, a special type of people has been born to slay them, the Cosmic Undead Hunters, powerful warriors whose Cultivation of Cosmic Energy depends on absorbing and killing Cosmic Undead.

And you have been given such a Title.

When fighting Cosmic Undead and any related foe type, you automatically generate your [Cosmic Death Essence Absorbing Aura], which increases all your Stats by +100%, and allows you to ignore 50% of your foe's defenses with any attack, while Cosmic Undead attacks will deal 30% less damage, and your damage against them increases by +300%.

As the Aura is activated, the Undead is slowly drained off their corrupted Cosmic Nether Essence, which is further refined to make the Aura stronger, so it can grant even higher effects, up to an additional +500% to all effects, with an additional +25% with each Skill Level.

Additionally, Undead of all types will immediately notice your presence if you activate the Aura, if they feel anger, they will fully concentrate on you, if they feel fear, their stats will drop by -50% and they will gain the [Soul Paralysis] Status.

What an insane Title Skill! Just what in the hell is this? I never thought I would get feed with lore about the Universe from Skills and Titles, but the more advanced they are, the more lore they give me, interesting.

So this thing creates some sort of Aura to kill Undead more effectively, and the Aura can cultivate itself?! The more powers I gain, the more cultivation systems I find everywhere. It is hard to assimilate everything, everyone has their own unique ways to become stronger.

I suppose for a while now, that I have begun moving on my own accord, I can't simply try to assimilate every cultivation system I find for my own gain, that didn't work back then.

I need to continue moving on my own path, on my own way, and combine their effects and powers, and bring out something even stronger, even mightier and higher.

I guess those special Spiritual Hearts I've been forging are part of this key, and my recent evolution as well.

"Ah, right…"

As I had dived too much on my own thoughts, I quickly decided to pick the dropped treasure chests and move on.

Ding!

[For defeating the Boss of the First Floor of the Dungeon, you received the [Abandoned World Fragment Dungeon Treasure Chest (Silver Rank)] x1!]

Silver Rank? So this is the only prize. It seems to work with Ranks that aren't the same as the others with letters. But well, that's whatever. I'll save it in the stash and open it later.

As for the other rewards…

[The Effects of the [Cosmic Treasure Prize Drop] Ability have been activated.]

[All of your defeated Cosmic Undead foes have dropped a large quantity of Loot!]

[The Loot has been merged as you've gathered it to get the highest-grade items from the vast low to mid-grade majority.]

[You acquired: [Cosmic Nether Soul Shards (SS+ Grade)] x5 [Lesser Cosmic Nether Soul Shards (S+++ Grade)] x100 [Primordial Nether Essence Elixir (SS+ Grade)] x3 [Lesser Nether Essence Elixir (A+++ Grade)] x30 [Three-Headed Mutant Zombie Serpent Themed Cosmic Undead Treasure Chest (SS+ Grade)] x1 [Lesser Cosmic Undead Treasure Chest (S+++ Grade)] x10]

"Aah, not bad, not bad! Nether Elixirs though? What can grow by drinking those? Maybe I should save them for my family instead?" I wondered. "Hmm… Okay let's get greedy for once."

I ended drinking and eating all the consumables, saving the treasure chests inside my inventory. I also ate some of the Zombies and whatever remained of the serpent, they tasted like very cold, smoky meat after my chaos flames burned them.

I think I gained some Skills on my basic Genesis Status, but I wasn't paying much attention to those, they were nothing compared to the Origin System Skills! However, they still stacked and were a nice buff. I felt the coldness of the Undead encompass my body, and I could now grow those black and sharp scales from the serpent, and above all, its decay breath was mine as well.

Might never use it unless I decided to become a Dragon for no reason!

Anyways, after drinking and eating these soul shards and elixirs, my Soul had grown at least 7% larger, not at all as much as with Satan's consumable items, but that was understandable, he was a monster of a foe, and these were just generic mobs inside an abandoned dungeon.

Nonetheless, it was a good harvest~

Ding!

[You have consumed [Cosmic Nether Soul Shards (SS+ Grade)] x5 [Lesser Cosmic Nether Soul Shards (S+++ Grade)] x100 [Primordial Nether Essence Elixir (SS+ Grade)] x3 [Lesser Nether Essence Elixir (A+++ Grade)] x30!]

[You have absorbed a large quantity of Impure Soul Essence and Nether Energy!]

[Your soul has grown even larger; your Soul Ether amount has increased considerably.]
