Epic Of Caterpillar

-----

Barbatos body, which he boasted to be as tough as Orichalcum, was being slashed apart and stabbed by a storm of flames and hundreds of swords!

Shadrach had suddenly turned his entire metallic body into them… He was no longer a single sword, he was many!

"Y-YOUU…!"

Barbatos grew both furious and excited, the countless wounds covering his body turned his blood into deadly wrathful flames, imbuing his soul with brand-new power.

"RAAAAHHH!"

A furious roar was released from his two heads, his Aura transforming into a titanic lion-like beast, consuming the swords!

BOOOOMMM!!!

However the swords continued attacking, cutting through the aura manifestation and then fusing together once more into half of Shadrach's torso.

"It will take you a bit more than that to slay me now, Barbatos!" Laughed Shadrach, combining the rest of the swords into two gigantic black and red swords, blazing with flames. "[Heaven-Tearing Chaotic Slash]! [Dimensional Slice]!"

He swung both titanic swords against Barbatos, as the Demon Lord had to receive two enormous slashes of chaotic flames and distorted dimensional energies clashing against him!

SLAAAAAASSSHH!!! SLAAAAAASSSHH!!!

RUMBLE!

"URGGHH…!"

Barbatos kept feeling his skin being torn apart and then burned by his flames, his two last arms were beginning to break as he blocked both powerful attacks with them, his blazing arms releasing explosive strikes!

"Still using the same techniques at the end…! You're not that impressive!"

Barbatos mocked Shadrach as he released explosive strikes, destroying his slashing attacks and then pummeling his metallic body.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAAMMM!!!

However, Shadrach managed to defend against the intense attacks as he swiftly transformed his body into a titanic shield, increasing his defenses!

CLANK! CLANK! CLAAANK!

"Tch!"

Barbatos realized his attacks were dealing almost no damage! But before he could even react, the shield Shadrach had turned into started to glow…

The energy it absorbed from Barbatos attacks was sent right back at him!

"[Blazing Divine Dragon Shield Parry]!"

TRUUUUMMM…!

A massive beam of chaotic and draconic flames was released from within him, as little Alucard popped up from behind the huge shield, waving his little hands.

"Hahahah! Even this is nothing now! The more I bleed, the more power I gain and- Huh?!"

Barbatos resisted the tremendous beam barely, however…!

"[Vampirism Dao Art]: [Blood Origin]!"

FLUOOOOOSSSSHHH!!!

The blood Barbatos was losing and turning into the fuel for his endless power was suddenly absorbed by Alucard, gathered into a gigantic crimson sphere of demon blood and flames!

"WHAT?!"

Barbatos for the first time was genuinely worried when he saw this scene… And he became even more concerned when Alice flashed right at the side of the child, drinking the blood and recovering all her exhaustion!

"Thank you, dear!" Alice laughed.

"YOU! You're genuinely angering me now!" 

Barbatos manipulated his storm of flames, rushing towards the two vampires, only to be interrupted by Shadrach himself, who greeted him with a barrage of metallic claw attacks.

Each of his claws was like a gigantic sword too, so he could use them to unleash all his sword techniques at once! Five claws meant five techniques at once with each attack!

"Remember that you're fighting ME!"

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH!

"SHIT…!"

Barbatos was unleashing all his power to counterattack Shadrach, but the dragon had become too strong! His attacks were utterly devastating now, not like anything else before.

And to make things worse, his battle capabilities were incredibly flexible, helping him adapt to most situations.

Suddenly, his claws transformed into a huge shield again, as he fired yet another deadly beam through the accumulation of energy he received from Barbatos counterattacks!

TRUUUUMMM…!

"UUGGHHH…!"

Barbatos was blow off the skies, falling into the ground rapidly!

"Dammit!"

He quickly gathered his flames into the soles of his feet, lifting himself against gravity and then flying upwards as quickly as possible.

"Who are you fucking with?! I am the Demon Lord, Barbatos! I serve-"

However, as Barbatos rushed upwards, he was greeted by Alice, her eyes shining brightly with crimson lightning!

"Yes, yes, whatever you say…" She giggled. "[Divine Crimson Lightning Queen Magic]: [Ruby Lightning Queen's Eyes]!"

Two enormous eyes made of crimson lightning emerged behind Alice, her smile showing her sharp vampiric fangs, as the eyes unleashed two tremendous beams of pure lightning and blood divinity, mixed with Dao Energy as well!

BOOOOOMMM!!! BOOOOOMMM!!!

Both beams blasted Barbatos away, suddenly, he realized the two arms he had left were torn to pieces, and even one of his legs was gone too!

"Aaagggh…! FUCK!"

And once more, the blood that would become his power, which should be a lot after losing three limbs, ended being absorbed by little Alucard, who was now sitting over the back of Aine while being accompanied by Adena.

"[Vampirism Dao Art]: [Bleeding Tears]!"

TRUUUUUMMMM…!

The blood this time wasn't used to feed his mother, but used to conjure a deadly, overwhelming spell that channeled the young Vampire boy's powers to his limits.

The Dao Inscriptions covering his body like red tattoos grew on intensity over his body, as he floated in midair, his eyes flashing like two crimson stars!

"W-Wha…?!"

Barbatos looked into the skies as they turned completely crimson red, swirling into the shape of dozens of gigantic eyes.

That started crying blood!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Each drop of blood reached him rapidly, piercing through his body and leaving a terrible wound, and these were constant, leaving his enormous body of several hundred meters greatly damaged.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

With a furious scream filled with frustration, Barbatos gathered his powers and summoned a titanic axe made of flames.

"[Infernal God-Slaying Axe of Nirvana]! DIE!"

FLAAAASH!

The titanic axe slashed through all of Alucard's attacks and destroyed the crimson sky above with a fell swoop!

However, Shadrach smiled, his entire body, which had been divided into many, unified once more, into the largest sword anybody here had seen before.

Reaching almost a kilometer of height, he clashed against the almighty Axe of Nirvana!

"[Soul Devouring Infernal Blade]!"

CLAAAAASSHHH!!!

Both titanic weapons clashed against one another, their very clash sending tremendous shockwaves across the skies!

RUMBLE!

The entire Realm of Ravenfolt felt like it would soon be destroyed.
