The only drawback is that, as a hero, he doesn't have any magical talent related to light.
"Being alone is fine, but my teammates are actually affecting my performance..."
The aura ahead is definitely that of a demon. After one defeat, does it still dare to face me?
The complex demonic aura, seemingly concealed by some kind of potion, is something even many professional adventurers might not be able to detect.
But El is no ordinary person; he's cheating.
He smelled the scents of demons, dragon blood, plant monsters, and some new ingredients.
"It looks a bit like a snake, but not exactly the same. I'm curious."
So El stopped, drew his holy sword, and looked up at the direction where the monsters were lying in ambush.
"Are you going to come out on your own, or should I invite you out?"
El didn't shout loudly, but his voice was amplified by magic and clearly heard by the monsters present.
"That guy, he found us?"
"That shouldn't be the case. We didn't leave any trace at all. How could he... Wait, could it just be a simple test to lure us out?"
The Great Demon speculated that the hero might have indeed sensed the aura of the demons using the Holy Sword, but he was unsure of their exact location.
Going out at this point would only make one fall into the hero's trap.
"As expected of you, hero! You're utterly despicable!"
Thus, the scene before El remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
"Okay, so you like playing this game, huh? Want to play hide-and-seek with me? Sorry, I'm in a hurry right now."
Since these are monsters that came to ambush me, and there are so many of them, their quality must be pretty good, right?
There are too many for me to handle in a short time. I need to filter them; only those who are alive are qualified to face me.
Grasping the holy sword with both hands, the raging fire element suddenly began to surge and gather towards the holy sword, while a touch of blood made the firelight feel dangerous.
Fire elemental affinity is El's second only to water elemental affinity, and he has also incorporated the power of blood magic.
Using the holy sword as a vessel, the energy, compressed to its limit, is gathered and launched at the ambush site of the demons.
"Secret Technique: Crimson Path"
This move is actually just pure brute force, with no real skill involved, but since we're all heroes now, El thought he should give the skill a name.
With these words, a beam of light erupted from the holy sword, and the crimson flames transformed everything before the eyes of the numerous demons.
"boom……"
The light contacted the material, triggering a violent explosion. The aftershocks emanating from the smoke shattered a small hill not far away.
As for those demons?
"Huff...huff...huff..."
The great demon plopped down on the ground, staring at the shattered black patterns on the ground, while all the demons around him were injured.
In order to ambush El, they set up traps here and prepared magic circles to aid in the battle.
Unexpectedly, the magic circle was not used to attack El; instead, it was destroyed by El's attack.
"My gems, the gems I've collected for three hundred years, are all gone."
"You damn hero, do you know that one move of yours bankrupted me?"
The cry of a half-dragon wizard was filled with sorrow and despair. For the first time, it understood what it meant to be alive but have no money.
Honestly, it even had a thought that it would be better for them to block the attack together, at least its money would still be there.
