Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System Chapter 398: Caught Red

"We are here to pick you up, friend." Said Natalia.

"It seems that my lord as right for worrying, he sent us here and there it is, another living fragment with even the ability to speak!" Said Belphegor. "This most likely means that he is a clone of the Forbidden One's Ego, just as he just told us through telepathy!"

"Indeed, he is! It was about time for some payback from me, buddy." Said Aruliel. "I-I am not the same as before, by the way! I have changed enough and I will show you!"

The trio spoke intimidating words, although they didn't sounded as intimidating, and wouldn't sound intimidating at all if it wasn't because of the enormous quantities of energies surging from their bodies in waves of aura that seemed overwhelmingly large.

"Did that bastard sent you?! …Damn it!" The Forbidden One's Ego roared in anger, as he quickly attempted to escape! He quickly pointed out three giant red-colored eyes across his body to the trio and unleashed powerful laser beams, and then, he attempted to escape and jump into the sea!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

However, Belphegor intercepted all three of the beams by generating a powerful barrier with his phantasmal flames, which now had a cosmic shine to them, giving them a new transcendental strength and even grater endurance when conjuring defense spells such as these, easily blocking the attacks!

Belphegor gathered cosmic energy within his cosmic core to conjure the power of flames and cosmic power, combining them into comic flames. A cosmic core was given to everybody by Chaos, and he had trained using his cosmic energy across this entire time inside of his divine realm, and he had enhanced his Cosmic Core of Fire Element greatly, although for a bit, he had been able to slowly gather and channel the power of these energies together and formed an enormous barrier of cosmic flames, which shone with cosmic brilliance!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Belphegor intercepted all three of the quite easily, and Aruliel and Natalia quickly moved towards the Forbidden One's Ego to attack him! the monstrosity was trying to escape despite being so strong, clearly showing that he wasn't confident on winning against all three of them, this was their perfect opportunity to gain some points of trust and renown from Chaos, so they wanted to make him proud and hold back this monster until he could get here!

"Oh no, you're not going anywhere! Holy Gates!" Said Aruliel, conjuring Heaven Magic and using part of her Heaven Energies into it, as an enormous gate of gold emerged out of thin air by materializing heavenly energies, blocking the path of the Forbidden One's Ego! The gigantic gate was over 10 meters big, and it shone with a divine brilliance that burned through the darkness covering the Forbidden One's Ego's aberrant body.

However, the gates were not just some furniture, their real effect came as they opened, as the enormous gates opened, enormous quantities of divine light came out, unleashing a powerful beam that clashed against the Forbidden One's Ego with great force!

BOOOM!

"Unnghh?!"

The powerful divine light encompassed the Forbidden One's Ego and sent him flying into the air, as his enormous body fell into the ground with a loud thud.

CLAAASH!

"Aghh…! T-That power… Damn angels… They don't have enough with cutting me apart and sealing me now?! You must come here and annoy me even more as I try to simply live?!" The Forbidden One's Ego continued to grow more insane, as his berserk-like state continued to grow bigger, the more pain and fury he accumulated, the stronger he grew! The fragments he had seemed to have some sort of piece that could grant raw power in exchange for fury, incredibly conveniently so, and perhaps one of the reasons why he had been losing his mind since he was "reborn".

"Phew…" Aruliel sighed, the power of this spell was strong but it put a burden on her to conjure it, with it, she had used more than half her heavenly energies, but it was worth it so she could put a stop to him. The powerful attack severely weakened him and knocked him out quite quickly, now it was time for her to quickly finish him off while it was still there- if it wasn't because it quickly stood up again.

"Eh?!" Aruliel exclaimed in surprise, her heaven magic had gone down in power drastically since she sealed herself, and now it wasn't even 1% of the power it once had, it was natural, if she had so much power, she wouldn't had even experienced as many difficulties with the Forbidden One's Ego back then when she fought against it with Chaos' help.

"Grrrr…! Bastardsssss!"

The Forbidden One's Ego roared back at the group once more, rushing forward and attempting to devour Aruliel by shapeshifting his aberrant body until it suddenly turned into an enormous alligator-like jaw with many disjointed body parts stuck around it, and possessing many spider-like legs!

"GRAAAAHH…!"

However, Natalia quickly attacked, without letting it get closer to his target! Natalia unleashed the power of the Blood Magic she knew the most, as dozens of blood threads emerged out of her fingertips and wrapped around the enormous beast, suddenly stopping him on place!

"Unngh…?!"

The Forbidden One's Ego attempted to devour the blood threads with his jaws, crushing many of them, but Natalia simply used the threads and wrapped them around his jaws, stopping him from devouring more of them for a few seconds, which she then used to generate dozens of blood weapons, materializing them out of turning the iron in blood into an ore and then infusing them with cosmic energies, making the blood blades shine with a cosmic starlight.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The blood blades started to fall over the enormous aberrant Forbidden One's Ego with great strength and speed, piercing through his aberrant dark body and tearing apart the connections between the fragments he was made of!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"GRAAAHH…!"

The Forbidden One's Ego began to explode in fury, as he was showered in attacks, and shapeshifted his body out of the blue. His body quickly created several black tentacles that began to attack Natalia!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Natalia swiftly evaded, but several attacks at the same time were hard to evade, she tried to slice through the tentacles using her blood blades and her own daggers, but they were incredibly tough, and she only managed to slice a few before she was being attacked from all sides! However, Belphegor quickly came to assist her, as his flames turned into many skulls made of fire, and fell like blazing meteors over the Forbidden One's Ego aberrant body!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"ROOAR!"

The Forbidden One's Ego continued to grow more and more savage, turning into an animalistic berserk at this point, and roaring as if he were nothing more than a wild beast, his strength multiplied but his body was sustaining too much damage and was constantly growing weaker! Aruliel utilized this opportunity to attack once more, as her body activated the power of her own fragments, which were now obeying her!

She gathered the darkness within her heart and infused it into the fragments, showcasing a greater part of their power, as her hands grew enormous, black-colored metallic claws, which she used to fiercely attack the Forbidden One's Ego!

The fragments within Aruliel's body activated in a single second, each fragment began to enhance her body strength, and by infusing more dark energy into them, they showcased great amounts of new strength and capabilities! One of them was letting Aruliel's hands be covered in this black crystal-like material, forming enormous and sharp claws to slice through her foes! She used them to quickly generate new claws and within seconds, each claw was ridiculously big compared to her body size, but they were infused with great and large quantities of dark energies.

Aruliel swung her claws and slashed the empty air, quickly slashing through the air and unleashing dark energies that shaped themselves as claws, she slashed into the empty air towards the Forbidden One's Ego's direction dozens of times within mere seconds, as all the waves of darkness in the shape of claws reached him and clashed against him, despite being a monster with great elemental resistance when he was hit by these attacks, he only felt a great pain over his entire body!

The slashing attacks did as they stated, and quickly slashed through his flesh, piercing his insides, and quickly tearing apart his entire structure from the interior. The Forbidden One's Ego looked in disbelief at Aruliel, she had used his own fragments against him, and they were strong enough to damage him this much already… she had to be stopped!

Aruliel noticed that the Forbidden One's Ego suffered damage but quickly began running towards her, however, he didn't realized that his own body began to be slowly torn apart, as Aruliel had already targeted these spots of his body that were being slowly separated from one another. Whatever power was keeping his fragments together was slowly being consumed and he was being weakened!
