Warm-up time.
That's right, although the vampire duke was hit just now, and the entire monster almost split open, it looked terrible.
However, El knew about these vampires' healing abilities; even a vampire viscount couldn't kill someone with this level of injury.
He was just warming up, and incidentally giving his ingredients a good workout as well.
Only by being sufficiently active before death can the meat be made to be of better quality; this is an experience that El gained at the cost of hundreds of minotaurs' lives.
"Well, are you ready now? If you're ready, I'm about to officially begin the hunt and cooking."
Don't be too afraid, I'm an expert at dealing with monsters, and I'll make sure you remember everything that happened today.
"Monster... madman... impossible, you can't be human, how could you possibly be human?!"
The encounter just now wasn't entirely fruitless for the vampire grand duke.
Through the wrist that was being held by El, it sensed the youthful vitality of the other party.
It determined that the hunter's age was no more than twenty, which is neither scientific nor magical.
"The world is full of wonders, there's nothing strange about it. Just accept reality and get used to it."
Al still wore a smile, but that smile made Grand Duke Charles feel the deepest malice in the world.
Its appetite, which it has shown to humans countless times, has led to the capture of all its prey.
Now, it's a human's turn to show its appetite, and like its former prey, it seems to have no ability to resist.
"No, it's still different. Magic, I still have powerful magic."
There shouldn't be anyone in the world who is completely unbiased in any subject. That guy is too young and simply doesn't have enough time to study too many things.
He is a powerful warrior, so he is unlikely to be a powerful mage.
Besides, I'm immortal! I can use magic to trade blows with this guy and wear him down!
The confidence and courage I lost because of that defeat just now seem to have returned somewhat.
It takes more than just time to become a vampire grand duke; combat is also an indispensable part of the process.
"Come on, human, let me see your...what?"
Grand Duke Charles originally intended to use blood magic to summon blood mist and create a battlefield suitable for himself.
This environment can enhance the vampire's stats and weaken the enemy's strength.
But before it could finish speaking, as the red mist began to spread, it realized that it had lost control of the blood mist.
It also saw that the blood mist it had spread out was converging in one place: El's palm.
"How is that possible?"
The scene before it seemed absurd, as a vampire, theoretically the most skilled demon race in blood magic.
In the realm of magic, you fight a powerful warrior, but that guy steals control of your blood magic?
It began to wonder, recalling the people it had eaten that day, whether someone had poisoned their blood.
Otherwise, why would you see such a hallucination?
"It's fake, it must be fake, impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I'm sorry, that's entirely possible. I simply took your magic. Is that strange?"
"You vampires always have that same expression, as if you can't live without the blood mist?"
