Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

"We will get lord Barbatos weapon no matter what!"

"Don't you dare stop us, you filthy Vampires!"

"Where are these beasts coming from?!"

A horde of about fifty demons were fighting against dozens of Vampires, Alucard's bodyguards sent by Alice, and several Divine Blood Beasts the boy had summoned with the powers of his Dao and his Dao Inscription.

The Demons had not stopped where they were, and once they saw Shadrach was running away, they chased after him, waiting to get some recognition by their Demon Lord if they brought him back his weapon.

"We won't let you pass!"

"Stop them at all costs!"

"Lord Alucard is busy, screw off, demons!"

The Vampires fought bravely, their power greatly boosted by little Alucard, who was trying his best to revive Shadrach from his coma with all his powers fusing into his still melting body.

"Please, mister dragon, don't die! You are friend! I don't want friend to die!"

As he asked for Shadrach to come back, in the distance, he also heard the screams of two Wyverns, Aine and Adene were constantly fighting the demons, trying to make their way to their father.

"FATHER!"

"DAD!"

Their claws, magic, fangs, and tails threw away demon after demon with tremendous strength. Their flames constantly exploded over the demon faces, they were barely able to kill any due to how tough they were, but they were advancing in between countless attacks, their bodies almost in shambles.

"His Soul is flickering…! It is disappearing?!" Aine cried.

"No! Move away! MOVE AWAY!" Adene roared mightily, grasping one of the demons with his jaws and crushing it.

The two kept crawling through the furious wrathful barbarian demons, all while Alice and Barbatos clashed against one another.

Both seemed evenly matched, while Barbatos lacked regeneration abilities due to the chaos flames burning him, he was still incredibly powerful, his energy seemed almost endless.

Meanwhile, Alice had immense regeneration, and lightning magic power, and her body was almost as tough as him, while she had an almighty ego weapon to boot.

"Ugh…! You're one tough nut to crack, even with that wound, how come you're still moving?!"

"HEH! You've not seen the last of me yet, Vampiress!"

However, because of Barbatos technique that grew stronger the closer to death he was, his Demonic Energy was constantly rising, and his Attack Power and Movement Speed were rising every single second.

The more wounds he was covered in, the more vicious and faster he became, covering Alice with punches and his flames!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!

"Shit…!"

Alice was thrown away several meters, barely managing to not fall as she turned into lightning and returned to Barbatos with her spear pointing at his heads.

"RAAAH!"

With lightning-fast speed, she attacked him, several strikes into his body left holes over him, which kept turning his blood into wrathful flames that boosted his power!

"HAHAHA! YES, GIVE ME MORE!"

Barbatos simply continued growing stronger. A similar yet weaker technique to Satan's ability that he used against Kireina, by fueling himself with hatred and wrath, he grew stronger.

However, the demon turned such hatred and wrath and replaced it with agony, pain, and blood! 

FLUOOSH!

Amidst his laughter, his Demonic Flame Aura only grew stronger, the black flame tattoos growing over his body expanding further.

His skin was slowly turning charcoal black!

"Is this part of his transformation?! This monster is growing stronger with each wound I inflict upon him!" Alice thought, blocking or evading the rampaging attacks of Barbatos. "Do I need to kill him with one decisive blow? But I have no time to charge for it, and he's too tough to die in one blow too…!" 

Alice, who was so confident on slaying Barbatos, found herself in a slight predicament. Her pride as a Vampiress didn't allow her to call for reinforcements or aid, and she didn't want to bother her army or Aleksandra, who were fighting the invading demons right now.

But right in that moment, Alucard's eyes shone brightly as he smiled, the melting Shadrach on his hands absorbed the materials Kireina had left for him.

Rainbow flames, a bottle with a spiritual rainbow liquid, countless rainbow-colored dragon crystal scales, spirit crystal bones, and hundreds of fire attribute spirit beast cores!

FLAAAASH!

Everyone suddenly sensed something erupt from within the distance, Aine and Adena felt the presence of their father return back to normal- no, it came back even stronger than before!

TRUUUUMMMM…!!!

Barbatos and Alice noticed it too, their eyes glancing into the distance as they saw an enormous pillar of rainbow flames erupt into the skies, cleansing them from both the miasmic black clouds and the crimson blood clouds.

And replacing them with the beautiful, rainbow sky of the Spiritual Plane itself! All Vampires, Demons, and their respective leaders felt the presence of Shadrach, reborn anew!

Not only did he absorbed the materials Kireina left behind, but the large quantities of Demonic Energy and Wrathful Flames born from Barbatos blood became his nourishment.

Alongside Alucard's own Blood and his Dao Inscriptions that were holding him in place!

And therefore, an evolution even stronger than envisioned by Kireina happened, in the middle of this chaotic battlefield.

Shadrach no longer felt limited by his physical, metallic body. In fact, it didn't feel like he expanded his body through his Manifestation Skill anymore.

It felt as if his sword body, had grown incredibly larger, expanding everywhere, and fusing with other materials, refining itself.

And becoming something completely new.

"Woaaah!"

Alucard found himself sitting over the titanic, metallic behemoth, as Shadrach's eyes opened, revealing rainbow and crimson-red flames coming from them.

"BARBATOS!"

With a mighty roar, Shadrach rushed towards Barbatos, killing every demon in front of him by swinging his titanic, metallic claws!

SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH! SLAASH!

"DAD!"

"FATHER!"

Aine and Adena quickly flew alongside his father, saved by a hair by his new evolution!

Barbatos saw the titanic behemoth arrive from the distance, his eyes filled with disbelief and… awe!

"OOOHHH?! You're back, oh brave dragon!"

The Demon Lord simply laughed, as he saw the immense being.

"Finally a worthy opponent… Our battle shall be legen-"

CRAAAASSSHHH!!!

Before Barbatos could muster another word, a titanic metallic fist crushed him into the ground.

"SHUT UP!"

Shadrach had enough of this bastard.
