Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System Chapter 334

Darkness.

Obscurity…

Was this… how death felt?

Chaos didn't knew what he was seeing, but it certainly felt as if there was only emptiness.

He was embraced by the void of emptiness, as nothing of him seemingly remained.

His mind… shouldn't even exist anymore.

Yet… he existed.

Why? Didn't he died?

He couldn't help but wonder that as a sudden grief and sorrow hit him.

Death…

Did he really die?

Dying… what did that meant?

Chaos had experienced death once before.

It felt despairing…

It felt… horrendous.

It felt as if there was nothing he could do, nothing he could fight against, it felt like an asphyxiating force that took everything from you and left nothing behind.

At that time, he had died without caring, he didn't even wanted to keep living, and felt happy when his entire body began to stop working and died.

Suffering through those laboratories, as his entire body was covered in needles, as he was constantly being experimented on… It was something horrendous, he preferred to just die back then.

Who would even want to go through all those horrendous things? Chaos just preferred to just die.

But now?

Now that he was given a second chance, and he had been living his life to the fullest… he had realized how amazing everything is, how beautiful living is, how wondrous is being a person, and how wonderful is having a family that cares for you as much as he cared for them…

And to love someone… with such intensity and clinginess that it made him almost feel intoxicated… to love his beloved princess, Abyss.

To die now would be to lose all of this, to never experience them again, to never be close to these people he loved so much… to never be close to the world he wanted to explore so badly…

To leave everything behind and disappear.

No…

He can't…

"I don't… want to die…"

It was rather simple, Chaos didn't wanted to die.

And he came to the realization that despite what Valen had done to him, he had not died.

When his body submerged into the water, it was a big mistake from the Vampire.

As he had lost interest on him, he didn't realized that in the water, things would disperse.

At the end, a lot of Chaos fragments of his body and soul ended dispersing, and were not completely disintegrated.

All those tiny fragments of him were still him.

Using the leftover mana within them, they used skills to slowly regrow back, stealthily, below the waters.

And they slowly began to gather with one another as they hunted and devoured anything they found to gain more energy and biomass, necessary to recover…

Valen could had never expected that Chaos would be so resilient.

Well, the things the Vampire detested the most were the resilient people that would keep crawling back… he hated them because they reminded them of his own pathetic self in the past

He had given Chaos for dead now, after all he saw him being disintegrated into nothingness… but he couldn't realize tiny bits of him ended leaking away, and they unified at the end, devouring things and growing bigger once more.

After a few hours, a large lump of flesh was slowly swimming around the waters, gathering its memories, and restructuring itself.

It had lost a lot of power by being disintegrated so much though, but it was slowly regaining it as it devoured more living beings.

The lump of flesh swamp everywhere, devouring as many living things as it could to satiate its hunger, countless small beasts succumbed to its gluttony, as even when it was swallowed by a bigger fish, it simple at the fish from the inside out.

After a whole day of restructuring himself, Chaos finally brought himself back to a better size, although he was still an amorphous lump of flesh moving around grotesquely underwater.

However, he felt as if something within him was missing, a major organ which he used to channel his powers… his Chaotic Jewel…

But Chaos really didn't had the time to wonder where that was, he had to quickly fly back to where Abyss and the rest were, using his abilities, he quickly detected their position and checked their life signs, they were fine. This made him very relieved.

He then looked into his own Divine Realm, in there, there were many people inside and other living beings, he was worried something might had happened there, especially because he had most of his Kingdom and population in there, and even Aruliel.

When he checked inside, what he found, however, was against his expectations… everything was actually okay.

A Divine Realm is a dimension of its own, each part of the dimension was a part of his soul, when his soul fragmented and he lost a large part of it, the divine realm also did, but as his soul regrew back slowly, forming back, the lost parts of the divine realm dimension slowly regenerated back as well.

Nonetheless, there were large chunks of it missing, as if they were missing pieces of glass in the sky, an empty blackness was left in such areas.

Thankfully, this had not affected the people, as they were moved in time to the center of the divine realm, where nothing happened.

In there, Aruliel was still sleeping as well.

Chaos felt relieved things were okay there, and he began to snack on divine beasts from inside of his divine realm now that he finally could see it and act on it, while he flew back to Abyss.

He had lost against Valen, yes, but he had survived, and that's what mattered.

As long as he survived, he could always fight another war.

Chaos was oddly optimistic even after being slaughtered, perhaps because in the verge of death, he realized how beautiful was everything, and how much he loved life and well… Abyss and his friends.

Despite the frustration of having lost against Valen, he felt happy he survived.

As long as he was alive, there will always be new chances to have his revenge…
