Fueled by hatred for the red-eyed bat, the vampire viscount also departed this world.
Continuing on the road to the capital, the sun set, and the surroundings gradually darkened.
"It's about time to take a break. Anyway, the selection of heroes mentioned above still has a few days left, so there's no rush."
With El's strength, if he went all out, he could easily run there on foot in a single day.
But there's no need for that. He's more of a traveler who enjoys experiencing the local customs and culture along the way, and tasting the local delicacies.
Enjoying life and discovering the beauty of monsters—that's what he truly loves.
The recipes in his backpack were many times more abundant than when he had just left the village.
Each dish contains the blood and tears of some monster, and the aura emanating from El that subconsciously terrifies monsters grows ever stronger.
If he hadn't been able to restrain himself, many monsters probably wouldn't have dared to approach him at all, and it's not impossible that they would have been scared to death just by seeing El.
"Sigh, as expected, there's nowhere to rest around. Looks like I'll have to do it myself."
The surrounding area is a woodland; there are no shops, not even a cave in sight.
You can't exactly do something like digging three and filling one when you're spending the night in a place like this, can you?
Al sensed the elements around him, and the soil, according to his thoughts, flowed like liquid, transforming into a decent-looking underground lounge.
This demonstrates a high affinity for the earth element, allowing one to alter the environment without using any spells.
This power is thanks to El's increasingly abundant food.
From lowly slimes to hybrid monsters with dragon blood, they all became his prey.
What is this? Fire slime, it's a little spicy and a little hot, I've eaten it.
What is this? A Retina Slime. It makes my mouth feel numb. I'll pair it with a Fire Slime.
What is this? A wyvern? It looks quite meaty!
In this situation, because they are not picky eaters, their various health indicators increase at an alarming rate.
If others knew about El's rapid progress, they would definitely loudly protest, "This guy's cheating!"
Recently, El has seen a relatively noticeable improvement through eating, specifically from that meaty earth dragon.
It is said that bathing in dragon blood can enhance one's strength, and that every part of a dragon is a treasure.
It's perfectly normal for El to make progress after devouring an entire dragon.
"Next time we might consider a real dragon; prey like that is hard to find..."
"Splash..."
As he pondered, El heard a dense, flapping sound of wings swirling around him.
"This is?"
Thinking of a certain possibility, El, who was originally planning to cook and warm himself by the fire in the underground lounge, left in a hurry.
Back on the ground, head in the direction of the sound.
He saw it: bats swirling in mid-air, and a pale-faced vampire who looked almost indistinguishable from a human floating around.
Before it stood several adventurers, ready for battle.
"Useless, useless, useless! I am a vampire count! I am immortal!"
"Ignorant humans, you want to select heroes? I'm right here, and I'll wipe out all your candidates."
El didn't hear clearly what the guy was planning, but he did catch a few words.
The Vampire Count.
According to the nobility system, he's even higher than a vampire marquis, which means this guy should be able to regenerate flesh indefinitely!
El's eyes lit up as he looked at the monster not far away.
At that moment, he was so excited that he even wanted to sing a song.
I've finally waited for you, and I'm so glad I didn't give up!
