Chapter 2089 Shadrach's Last Hope

-----

Alice and Barbatos clashed, as Shadrach ran away from the greedy demon's claws. His body barely alive as he tried to keep himself together…

"To be humiliated like this…"

He couldn't help but feel humiliated, to think that the damned Demon would treat him like an object! Not even Kireina did that, always being respectful of him.

Shadrach could remember how he died, sealed deep within the ruins below the Grand Forest, by the Ancient Hero Sol, who now has become one of his companions.

How he died alone, and pitifully, his entire body simply turning into ashes when Kireina was finally able to free him.

However, his Soul and his Magic Core remained, and she forged these two into a sword to revive him into a new, powerful form.

"Back then, I really thought it was amazing…"

Although he had already said farewell to his life and decided to leave his kids to Kireina, the fairy wouldn't let him rest, she wanted him by her side, she couldn't let go of someone so wise and strong.

And like that, she gave him a second chance. It took him a while to get used to his new body, but over time, he learned to like his new form, his new abilities, and how he could fight and help his children survive through the endless turmoil of Genesis, especially within the Realm of Vida.

"I fought, and fought, and fought some more but… At the end, I'll die… here, fighting, and not in peace at all."

Although he was an innate warrior, Shadrach was a wise old wyvern that was more interested in research, politics, and commerce, he was someone that loved peace.

Yet he knew that in this world- no, this Universe and beyond, such things were trifle in comparison to ultimate strength and the endless greed of the monsters that controlled it all…

"I just… want my children to live… Kireina-sama… please… take care of them."

As his durability was going lower due to the corrosion of Barbatos demonic energy into his body, he slowly started to lose his consciousness, his soul flame was flickering.

Yet…

"Don't die, mister sword dragon!"

A pair of gentle little hands grabbed him. They were colder than him, and as Shadrach tried to see who it was with his twisted senses, he noticed a little vampire boy.

He had bright red and purple hair, crimson eyes and marks across his face and hands, his Dao Inscriptions activating, glowing bright red.

"You're… Alice's child, right? Little Alucard…! Ungh…"

"Don't die!"

"It's no use, boy… My body can't regenerate back… I… Without your mother here, I'm…"

"No!"

However, for some reason, the little and gentle voice of Alucard kept dragging him back from the dead. Shadrach would grit his teeth if he had any.

"Don't die, mister dragon! Mama will get upset!"

"Stop it…! I…"

"Don't leave yet!"

Shadrach's memories slowly resurfaced through his mind as he heard the boy's voice. Not because he was close to him or something, in fact, he had interacted very little with him, Kireina's family was way too big sometimes.

Yet, his cries and his voice, reminded him of his kids. When they were young little wyvern pups, just recently hatched.

"Aren't they adorable, dear?"

The voice of his wife, a beautiful wyvern woman whom he had married and had his kids with…

Someone that was slain in that old war against the Humans…

He could still remember his children when they were younger, roaring adorable and biting his big claws bravely.

"Rawr!"

"Graoo!"

"Yes, they are indeed quite energetic…"

He laughed back then, unaware of the terrible fate that would befall him and his wife, that would destroy their daily life forever…

"Just let me die…"

He continued saying that as he remembered such memories, feeling more and more detached with life.

Perhaps, it could be said he never really wanted to continue on living…

Yet remembering his kids, made him realize why he continued fighting.

Even when he wanted to just die, and finally reunite with his wife, wherever she was.

"I just miss you so much…" He muttered, looking at his wife within those memories.

"Huh?" She looked at her gently, her delicate appearance for a wyvern was a rarity, with her beautiful black scales, she resembled a child of the moonlight. "What is it, dear?"

"I just… I just want to go back with you, wherever you are…" Shadrach didn't want to continue this anymore. "Please, just let me…!"

"And you will leave our children alone?" His wife asked with a rather upset expression.

"But-"

"Shadrach."

Her voice quickly made him fall silent.

"You have to protect them, you promised me you would, no matter what…"

"FATHER!"

"DAD!"

"Ah!"

And in that moment, he heard the voice of his twins, who were fighting against armies of demons to get back to him, in between tears.

Little Alucard was keeping his body in place as his powerful Dao Inscription created a special array that allowed him to not die so quickly.

The materials Kireina gave to him were floating around Shadrach but would not merge with him until he accepted them.

Until his will to live were to finally resurface.

"Aina… Adena?"

Shadrach quickly realized he simply couldn't go yet…

"They're calling for you, our youngest kids…" Sighed his wife. "Our adorable little twins, are you going to leave them without a father, Shadrach?"

"You're so harsh with me…" Shadrach smiled in between tears. "Fine, I'll go… But wait for me. I hope you have a seat prepared for me to sit at your side."

"I'll wait, but until that day comes… Please, never break your promise."

His wife hugged him, licking his face, as she was also crying.

It felt strange… this wasn't just a memory; it was a dream-like vision.

But the wife in front of him, she emanated a genuine soul.

Wherever she was now, she communicated with him in this moment…

"I won't…"

Shadrach smiled while crying, as he hugged her back, and then, the whole vision dissipated.

The last thing he saw were her bright blue eyes, before his vision was engulfed with countless colors.

The powerful materials Kireina gave him quickly fused with his body!

FLAAASH!

"I have to protect my kids, no matter what!"
