For traveling, I didn't need much, rather everything I needed was DP since I can get whatever daily items I need from the Treasures section, so far I have been calling it items catalog out of convenience.

Although I need dungeons to create monsters, I don't need that for travels.

And my DP amount is huge currently.

[Current Amount: 21,001DP]

The reason its so huge right now was because of Miss Elina's staggering 6,096DP per day with rare bursts that went over 10,000DP, while everyone else combined is just below 1,000DP with occasional bursts that reach over 2,000DP.

I don't know how much that berserker paladin would have given since he didn't even stay for a single day, but I'm sure Elina wouldn't be far behind.

So, please.

"I refuse to associate with myself with a place full of riff raffs. Give up." ( Alicia )

"We need to stock up on supplies, you might be fine since you are feeding on my blood but I'm not and woman like us need to wash up every now and then. So please let's head into town." ( Elina )

We are arguing already when its the third morning of our journey, what's more, it even seems like Elina wants to sleep as I'm starting to see some bags under her eyes. Well, we have been walking along a path non-stop.

"I never need to wash up like you, I know how to cast 'Purification' to keep myself clean." ( Alicia )

"Impossible, 'Purification' is a first-class spell with no one capable of ever successfully learning it, and due to the prices of their scrolls, a great many of talented individuals for profit have tried and failed." ( Elena )

That's not wrong, in fact, if I tried to learn it on my own I would indeed fail, that is... without Pride's help. It was also the first spell Pride force this body to learned.

Its effect is to destroy toxins, impurities, dirt and so on completely without leaving a trace. It's even supposed to be a first class spell used to clean imperial palaces yearly, according to Mr.Tutorial.

The cost of the spell scroll was...

[Purification (1-Meter) Spell Scroll]

Use - Insert mana into scroll

Function - Destroy toxins, impurities, dirt and so on completely without leaving a trace within a 1-meter radius

Cost - 1,000 DP

For every meter more is another 1,000DP, and this was costly even compared to other spell scrolls.

After purchase, Pride forced all info on this scroll to be stored in my memories and the sensation of its activation has been imprinted into this body. As a result, regardless if its 100 meters or a kilometer, I can cast it as long as I have enough mana.

Pride even did the same thing with several other Spell Scrolls, a lot of which is beneficial to our survival. One of the reasons I think of keeping Pride around instead of sacrificing it to become a dungeon core.

"Whether you believe me or not is not my concern, just know I have no need to enter a place crawling with riff raffs currently." ( Alicia )

"Then if you can use 'Purification' then cast it on me and if you fail to get rid of every spec of dirt, then you will come with me to town. And don't try to trick me as I have experienced the effects of 'Purification' before." ( Elina )

"How arrogant." ( Alicia )

Says you, the incarnation of Lucifer. But I can only imagine Pride grinning at this situation as my mouth has formed into a grin as well.

The effects of 'Purification' is extremely overpowered, as over 95% of Oozer's body mass was obliterated when used on it. The results were also unbelievable as Oozer was so clean it literally shined like a crystal.

Oozer even has yet to return to the earth slime appearance from before, though the crystal-like appearance has gotten rather dull in color after eating non-stop.

"If I fulfill your terms, then what will you offer me in return?" ( Alicia )

"ugh..." ( Elina )

You already lost Miss Elina. From the moment you tried to challenge Pride.

"Um...if you bite my neck, I won't turn into anything right?" ( Elina )

"I can choose whether to turn you into my lesser kin or not." ( Alicia )

"Then if you win this bet, I will offer you to drink directly from my neck just once, as long as you don't turn me into anything." ( Elina )

As expected, there isn't anything much you can use to tempt us after all. Only by tempting the desires of a vampire will we listen.

"The terms are set, now then, let's begin, [Purification]." ( Alicia )

"No chant!?" ( Elina )

Another strength from Pride, its method of forcefully learning spells is not only effective but allows me to cast them without chants. But if I want to up the efficiency of the spells then I need to start chanting. If I don't care about the mana to spell efficiency then I can increase the scale and power by simply pouring in more mana. All I need to worry about is control.

The small area surrounding Elina is enveloped in a soft light which slowly fade's away. The process may be short but its effects are unmistakable.

What came out was without a doubt Elina, and as expected, even stains from my glue on her clothes have completely disappeared.

"Your thoughts?" ( Alicia )

"....." ( Elina )

Oh Gosh, how many times is this elf gonna stare in disbelief at me.

"This is without a doubt 'Purification', but for you to use it so effortlessly and without a chant no less." ( Elina )

"I shall hold off on drinking your blood today as I already had my fill. However, do not forget your terms less you wish to suffer my wrath." ( Alicia )

Even if you did run away without fulfilling your end of the deal, I'm not powerful enough to catch you currently. Well, she does look like she has given up...

"But aren't you tired? don't you need sleep? That town has an inn which is famous for their soft bedding." ( Elina )

...almost. Although that soft bed is tempting, not enough to make me go to a place like that for now.

"Unlike your kind, I require no sleep. I have never felt fatigued since my birth." ( Alicia )

It's a synergy effect from the innate abilities 'Daywalker' and 'Nightwalker', it's also the ultimate reason I chose this vampire. With 'Daywalker' alone then I can stay up for the entire day without a problem and with 'Nightwalker' alone, I can stay up for the entire night no matter what. Together I never need to sleep ever and without a need for sleep, never again will instincts take over me, however unlikely it already is.

"...but before you said you are looking for a place to rest? What about the joy of sleeping!?" ( Elina )

"Ah, I can sleep whenever I want." ( Alicia )

"..." ( Elina )

Yep, she has completely given up now. Her pale face of despair says it all. Is she that afraid I'll run off on my own?

"I fail to understand what has you so anxious but you still owe me a taste of your neck." ( Alicia )

Oh? color has returned to her.

"I want to sleep, but it has to be in those soft beds! I'll be here to meet up with you so please be here tomorrow!" ( Elina )

"I shall give you my promise, but in return expect that for every second that I wait is another second I taste your neck and blood." ( Alicia )

With that, her face goes pale for a moment but then agrees to my terms and rushes off.

Well with her gone...

"Time to meet with that annoying Dungeon Spirit." ( Alicia )

For a while now, we both have sensed each other and I needed to get away from Elina to visit this Dungeon.

I'm not sure what it wants but it's been calling out to me so excessively its irritating, to the point I might destroy it the first chance I get.

I know where it is, I just need to head there
