Innocent Devils do not literally die: once the Innocent Devil's Heart meter drops to zero, its sparking "soul" hovers around Hector, unable to do anything.

The usage of their abilities consume Hearts which also serve as their Health bar. There are six known types of Innocent Devils: the Fairy-Type, Battle-Type, Bird-Type, Mage-Type, Devil-Type and the Pumpkin-Type. However, they are completely optional in battle, and the player may still choose to not use them. They play a major role in the game, by helping Hector fight Dracula's minions and resolve environmental riddles or puzzles, consequently gaining access to otherwise unreachable areas. Hector can summon Innocent Devils in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, and as an extension of the contrast between Hector and Isaac, Isaac's own Innocent Devils are fought during the battles with him. It should also be noted that these Innocent Devils are in a somewhat petrified state before Hector releases them. These rooms house the initial stage for a specific Type of the Innocent Devil. The Innocent Devils can be found on special rooms in specific dungeon areas.

As such, Dracula is also eternal, unable to be permanently defeated. His extreme hatred for God caused him to seek immortality and grow into a being with power to rival God.

Going back to Dracula, his entire existence is portrayed as the opposition of God. Light and Dark are at a constant opposition, yet both produce each other, therefore both need each other to exist. However, you find out many years prior, that Warriors of Darkness were similarly sent to save the world from being swallowed by the Light. As an external example, if anyone ever cared to play Final Fantasy III, or know the story to it, you find yourself playing as the Warriors of Light to stop the Cloud of Darkness from engulfing the world. In one age, that which is considered Light is good and holy, and in the next, the ideas and symbols associated with the Dark in the prior age are now sacred. Time constantly flip flops between two extremes. In the concept of infinity, everything moves in a constant cycle. The concept of Yin and Yang is also present, as that is a constant in the entirety of the Crest, but here it brings to me an odd thought. They are each in the shape of infinity, and also are devouring the tail of the other, which is an altered version of the Ouroboros symbol, again referencing infinity and eternity. The Dragons at the bottom are rather interesting.
