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

Having regrouped with the last remnants of his group, Chaos quickly continued moving towards the planet's South Pole. He was constantly devouring divine beasts inside of his divine realm, until they ran out…

Indeed, he ran out of them, it seems that the divine realm can only produce as many before it is exhausted of creating these creatures and decides to rest for the moment before making more.

Left hungry Chaos decided to ask for divine beasts from Dura's divine realm, as he continued devouring leisurely… but her divine realm had even less than his, so they ran out quickly.

He was growing more and more hungrier, he had lost too much of his power and biomass after dying against Valen, and it felt like he wasn't even halfway through what he required…

He had to bear with the hunger for now and simply devour wild monsters he found around, while Dura and Froggo were inside of his Divine Realm, they asked to a soul clone of his what had happened exactly, as they were unable to see things go on as they were swept by the water.

However, Chaos refrained from talking too much about it, he wanted to communicate everything to everyone whenever he was to get into their hideout in the glacial south pole, for now, he simply decided to rest part of his.

As he attempted to satiate his unindenting hunger, time passed on and 10 hours went by.

After all these hours of traveling without stopping above the water, Chaos slowly began to feel as if the water turned colder and colder, and indeed, in another hour, he realized a large amount of ice floating in the water greeted him, the south pole continent made of ice greeted his sight, as Chaos felt more and more closer to his friends and his main destination point.

After all this time, he would be able to finally regroup with them and be with them for once.

He quickly jumped out of the water, slowly walking over the ice floor using his tentacles as walking limbs. He had been trying to get back to his original humanoid form, but it was excruciatingly hard for him for some reason, his dragon form was also very hard to take, there was something stopping him from easily taking these forms he always took.

And it might seem to be something he had initially not thought about either… but the hunger and the feeling of emptiness he had… something was missing.

His core.

The Chaotic Jewel inside of his chest, which regulated his own power was taken away seconds before getting killed by Valen, and he had plans on using it as a material to fuel new things on his own plans.

Meanwhile, Chaos was left with something so important missing from him.

In fact, such a thing was very important, this jewel helped him regulate the energies of his body and powers, and even his total abilities, vampiric and dragon powers, and more… this was because this jewel was formed after his Blood Core, a distinct organ from Vampires, and his Dragon Heart, the same thing for Dragons suddenly fused together through an evolution of his body and soul.

Now that such an important organ was gone, there wasn't much he could do, he wasn't able to regenerate a new one so easily, and he would have to adapt to missing such an important core to his entire composition as a living being for the moment.

Chaos knew this and more and decided to simply and slowly readjust his own abilities and polish them even further, he knew that as long as he trained his Skills and Spells relentlessly, that he would be able to accomplish big things one day, and he had not lost his hopes that he would one day be able to beat the one that took this from him, and also gave him one of his first true defeats.

Nonetheless, for now, even in this form, he desired to met with everybody else, as he entered through a special black portal that Erebus opened the moment, he sensed his papa reach the area, and was greeted by most of his allies, except those that were heavily wounded.

"Oh, Chaos-sama, I am so happy to see you alright once more- Eh? What had happened to you?" asked Belphegor.

"You're finally back, Master, but… this is…" said Edward.

"What happened?" asked Lilith.

"Things happened… I will adress them in a meeting… I am just glad I am back with all of you." Sighed Chaos.

His body suddenly fell over the floor and sighed in relief, as if he had been tired this entire journey but had been enduring it all the time.

"Wait, Chaos-sama!" cried Belphegor.

Chaos mind began to slowly blacken, as he fell unconscious…

.

Chaos mind found itself submerged in total darkness, as if the obscurity of outer space had engulfed him completely. He felt extremely tired, and had been trying to keep up awake so he could reach his allies.

But he couldn't even met Abyss before falling asleep… Truth be told, what Chaos had endured is a whole load of things.

He had even undergone death, pretty much almost completely getting wiped out of existence. Although he's still alive, for a normal person it would be as if their entire bodies were completely destroyed except a small part of your brain.

And from that part, the rest of the body were trying to regrow back to normal, but without enough energy to do so nor with the "core" that made it possible for Chaos to grow stronger and evolve…

Without the Chaotic Core that was the fusion of his Blood Core and his Dragon Heart, he lacked the pillar that the two races that made him used to grow stronger and maintain their own powers.

Due to this, he constantly felt a large quantity of exhaustion as he was trying to merely keep living, his body was barely growing into a lump of flesh, and his soul… well, his soul was very small now…
