Even if the game's almost 10 years old? lol. I remember playing this boss... It was difficult as heck. 8/10
Well... My plan to post a specific thing from Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours just went out the window as I discovered the channel it was uploaded to just got bopped, haha. So we'll go with this instead. Ever heard of Castlevania on a PC Engine that isn't the PC Engine CD?
... Yes, that is a bit difficult to explain. But bear with me - Castlevania: Rondo of Blood used CD audio, as some of you may know. Yousuke Yasui being a fan of old-school video game sounds, it seems that he decided to go one step further for his contribution to the Akumajo Dracula Tribute Vol.1 album by rearranging one of its most iconic pieces on the hardware of a PC Engine itself - for me, it brings to mind the PC Engine port of the original Gradius as a result. So today, enjoy some Divine Bloodlines!

Your best options are probably to try getting the smartphone version (one exists for all 3 RAY Series games, surprisingly enough) or RayStorm HD, the most recent release (and one that is digital, but sadly Japan only) if you wanted to try it. In that regard it's probably the easiest to access for a more-or-less arcade perfect experience of one of the three titles, as RayCrisis' ports are way old (and it's the least ported of the three), and RayForce's last known port outside of the smartphone I believe was in one of the Taito Legends collections.
