Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge (FRG)

The story is set 15 years after Castlevania: The Adventure. Dracula finally survived without Christopher Belmont's knowledge, but at the cost of his vital energy which he would take a long time to regain. Soleiyu Belmont, the son of Christopher Belmont, is to be dubbed as the next vampire hunter. But Dracula kidnaps him before the ceremony can take place: he intends to use the mystical powers of the Belmont family to permanently reincarnate. Four mysterious castles then appear and Christopher sets out to investigate each of them, hoping to find his son there. But he only finds demons there, all in the pay of a guard who, once defeated, sees his spirit flee the castle. Once the last castle is destroyed, the earth begins to shake and Dracula's castle reappears. This is where Christopher finds Soleiyu, under the control of Dracula and engaging in combat against his father. But he manages to free him from the vampire's influence, then revealing Dracula's true intentions to him: his possession was only a means of slowing down Christopher, Dracula having taken the opportunity to reincarnate himself using the spirit of the four guardians defeated previously. Christopher eventually finds Dracula, fully resurrected and ready to fight. But Christopher defeats him again and, together with his son, witnesses the collapse of the castle.
