The greatsword pierced through the vampire duke's defenses, and the golden flames did indeed ignite a portion of his flesh.
However, the wound healed instantly the moment the greatsword left it, appearing exactly the same as if it had never been injured.
"This is our greatest strength, our inexhaustible vitality, and our infinitely regenerating bodies."
Hahaha, immortality, a body that can't die, and the power of magic—I'm absolutely thrilled!
In mid-air, the vampire laughed maniacally; on the ground, the adventurers were trapped in a desperate situation.
"With such vitality... just how many people have you devoured?"
"How many people? That's a meaningless question. Do you even remember how many loaves of bread you've eaten?"
"I remember, 1,853 pieces. I'll never forget a single bite of food I ate!"
Someone answered the vampire duke's question, but the voice sounded off.
At the same time, both the adventurer and Grand Duke Charles turned to look in that direction.
The voice we just heard did not belong to anyone who was present before.
"Oh my, so many people are looking at me, so enthusiastic? People from the capital area are so hospitable."
El walked out still in his black robes, greeting the others without showing any sign of nervousness.
"What's going on? This guy..."
The adventurer was puzzled by this mysterious person who seemed out of place in the atmosphere. Did he not understand the current situation?
This vampire grand duke is far more terrifying in combat than we imagined; none of us can defeat him.
If that man in black hadn't come to join the fun, we might have been a little safer; now we're all probably going to die together.
"No, not necessarily. Look at that vampire."
The mages in the group noticed that the vampire duke's expression was similar to theirs.
Who are you?
Grand Duke Charles frowned; he hadn't expected such an uninvited guest.
Moreover, if El hadn't spoken up earlier, it wouldn't have even noticed that there was someone hiding here.
This shouldn't be the case. You have to know that vampires are extremely sensitive to life force. If they are really powerful, their vigorous blood energy is like a lighthouse in the darkness.
El's silence prompted it to repeat the question it had just asked.
Who are you?
"Me? Just a passing adventurer. You better remember that."
As he spoke, El released the concealment of his aura, and a terrifying pressure instantly spread out.
"Buzz..."
The adventurers were a little out of breath; the pressure they felt seemed even greater than that of the vampire lord.
"Really? Are we that lucky that a master just happened to pass by?"
They were still relieved, while Archduke Charles was terrified.
As a monster, it sensed more.
Resentment emanated from El, an overwhelming wave of resentment.
There are vampires, minotaurs, dragons, and all sorts of monsters.
They seemed to have been devoured by El, and even their resentment after death could not leave.
"Just how many monsters have you killed?"
"That question? To use your previous question, do you remember how many loaves of bread you've ever eaten?"
