Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

-----

Chaos had decided to go pick up salt and herbs with Dura, Abyss, and Belphegor after eating the Blazing Fire Dragon, flying above the air by shapeshifting into his dragon form and carrying his companions over his back. ​​

After reaching the swamp near the former settlement of the Orcs, Dura guided him towards a small underground cave, which was where the Orcs had mined for generations, this cave was not found by accident while they had already settled down, but they had settled down their tribe here when this cave was found.

Inside the cave, there was not only salt rock, but also all sorts of other materials, even precious magic stones infused with the element of fire, water, and earth, and even gold, silver, and copper, although the Orcs lacked good blacksmiths so what they were able to do with them wasn't much, and their weapons were mostly made of rock with infused magic rocks on them…

Chaos ended collecting all sorts of things in here, and also mined a ton of salt rock, which he saved all inside of his Inventory.

Afterward, Dura guided him into the swamp, where Chaos wandered around the interesting new biome.

The dirt was rather wet around the necrotic swamp, and there were large and dry black and gray-colored trees, which the Orcs named Dead Trees, where they believed the souls of the dead rested inside.

Through their journey, they found some of the endemic fauna of this swamp, which was large crocodiles with crystals growing over them, which Chaos caught and ate around, named Crystal Crocodiles. Their meat was mostly hard, but the crystals made it even harder and rather crunchy, Chaos found it an interesting snack.

There were also Giant Sticky Salamanders, B-Rank monsters, the same as the giant Crocodiles, three-meter-long salamanders with giant and sharp jaws, they were slow but fierce, although their meat was tender, and the stickiness was an interesting mix.

These two monsters were actually considered dangerous to the Orcs, so only strong males or warrior women like Dura could fight them in parties, but Chaos easily ate them like mere snacks, surprising Dura with his strength as he nonchalantly killed creatures that the children were always taught to never provoke nor get near their territories…

As they walked deeper into the swamps, Chaos also discovered many types of fishes, some were smaller than others, mostly not really fierce, but some were quite fierce, and even aggressive, such as the Necrotic Barracuda, a giant four-meter-long Barracuda with sharp fangs that managed to inflict a tiny wound on Chaos hand, but because he let it do so, as he was using his hand as a bait.

He found these Barracudas flavor to be rather strong, and when he roasted them using Pyrokinesis and added salt, the flavors went wonderfully and it ended as an excellent meal, with some other things at the side, Chaos could see that this Barracuda meat could become one of his favorite dishes…

As he had barely eaten any food in his previous life, Chaos was growing more and more obsessed with delicious food, which stimulated him a lot. As a young man that had never received such stimulations of happiness and was always tortured, feeling so happy as he tasted more delicious things made him feel "fulfilled" to an extent, so he didn't restrain himself and ate anything that moved pretty much…

Ding!

[You learned the following Skills]

[Crystal Crocodile Scales]

[Crushing Bite]

[Sticky Mucus Secretion]

[Aquatic Adaptability]

[Gill Creation]

[Razor-sharp Jaws]

…

Chaos acquired six new abilities by eating dozens of these three types of monsters the most, which were all quite interesting on what they could do, although not as strong as the Blazing Fire Dragon's Skills, they were fairly decent.

…

[Crystal Crocodile Scales]: Grants the ability to generate crystal scales around the body, enhancing physical defense and granting shock absorption.

[Crushing Bite]: Unleash a powerful bite from your jaws with enough strength to crush your prey.

[Sticky Mucus Secretion]: Grants the ability to secrete a sticky mucus to maintain yourself hydrated while nullifying friction.

[Aquatic Adaptability]: Grants the ability to better adapt to aquatic environments, such as naturally learning the ability to swim.

[Gill Creation]: Grants the ability to create gills to breathe underwater.

[Razor-sharp Jaws]: Makes your jaws as sharp as the Barracudas, easily being able to pierce through your prey.

…

They seemed rather useful especially Aquatic Adaptability and Gill Creation! With that, Chaos could even go into the sea and swim freely if he wanted! He was excited to one day explore such a place.

As they came to the herbs and gathered piles of them, suddenly, Chaos detected something above the skies.

He and everyone else suddenly glanced atop the skies, as from afar, a black dot began to fly towards their direction at a fast speed, it was a strange thing… but it was a spaceship for anyone with general knowledge. And an odd one at that, as it made strange decorations.

However, Belphegor quickly recalled someone that his Master, Ainz, had once fought and defeated, a tentacled being named Mind Flayer, whose psionic powers were superb and could rival the deadliest of magics, and could even, to an extent, affect even Undead such as Ainz!

"What's that?" asked Chaos.

"That's a spaceship of a Mind Flayer, squid-like humanoid beings who possess powerful psionic capabilities! They feed on intelligent beings' brains and are inherently malicious and very hostile… How odd, why is his spaceship crossing through our territory?" wondered Belphegor.

"Squid?" asked Chaos.

"Yeah, squids… With soft skins, tender tentacles, their meat is white I believe, I think some people eat them," said Belphegor.

Chaos grew interested…

"Are they tasty?" he asked.

"Hm… Perhaps? I don't really know, my lord- Wait, are you planning to go eat a Mind Flayer?!" asked Belphegor.

"Maybe it can taste good!" said Abyss.

"You never know if you don't try it," said Dura.

"You two shouldn't encourage my lord! A Mind Flayer has powerful psionic abilities, perhaps he might not be ready to fight one!" said Belphegor.

FLASH!

However, Chaos was already flying into the skies…
