While I could easily tell the princes and princesses were all small fry, the Emperor was a different book altogether. He emanated the strongest presence of anybody in his army of losers, alongside another figure, a woman that was accompanying him. She looked mostly "human" but there was something very shady about her appearance, which I couldn't quite shake off yet. But I bet that's a Demon Lord. I had overheard from the soldiers I've been killing that they're saying the Human Empire allied the Demon Kingdom in defeating the Elves.
This probably means that the Human Emperor was convinced by someone, such as a Demon Lord. However, the most stupidest thing happened, the idiot gave her the cold shoulder and told her to not get in his way. So he's a loner that prefers to fight by himself, huh? He's going to be tough, I can already tell he's at Demon Lord level of power if not higher. He's not someone you can easily mess with, the difference in power is quite enormous when you compare him with the children he has.
Even when I combine my strength with my Egos, the Monster Army, the two Dungeon Bosses, and Sol, we are still probably weaker than him. We'll need more than just wits to win, but complete over the top strategy to win this… Or well, spamming skills until something works too. That also sometimes works well. And not only him, but we also have to worry about the stupid Demon Lord that is cheekily watching over as everything unfolds. What a pain in the ass.
If Luminous could bring us his healing and barrier support, it might be easier to win, but right now, I'll try to distract the Emperor as much as possible by throwing him as many monsters as I can. That swords of his is fucking dangerous, it is emanating a strong aura and I am pretty sure it can ignore defense, so if I get sliced by that, I… I'll die for sure.
It's hard to say it when I've been living my previous life with various insurances of death. Even being sliced in half wasn't a problem to me back then, even then, when I always thought I could somehow revive, I died anyways and had to be summoned by someone completely different in god knows where to come back to live.
Which is, quite honestly, a bummer.
But now that I am like this, I just have to be more careful with myself! I am pretty sure I can regain my power whenever I get back in Genesis, Rimuru is holding everything for me after all. If I get back, I'll probably even get my former body back. I have to just concentrate in the present now and think about how to win against this absolute monster of a human.
The Emperor began to slowly walk across the battlefield, the many scattered corpses suddenly began to get dried out of their blood, as he began to absorb it all into an enormous sphere of blood atop his left hand, while his right hand held the enormous "Divine" sword he had, which might as well have a similar level than that of Sol because I had a dreadful feeling each time I took a peek at it.
FLUOOOSH!
The blood continued to gather in enormous quantities, turning into pure Blood Essence for him, boosting his strength through his Blood Aura. This is clearly bad news, this bastard is already trying to do something funny!
"Blood Field…"
TRUUUUMMM…!
The blood he gathered suddenly spread out into an enormous domain. And from the domain, countless floating blood weapons emerged- no, they weren't just blood weapons, they were an army of blood?! What?! Hold up a second! Is this Necromancy?
He suddenly turned the blood of all his soldiers into new entities, living beings made out of red blood, glowing bright red with enormous quantities of Blood Energy, the worst part didn't end there…
"Blood Connection, Blood Puppeteer."
FLASH!
The soldiers, which were hundreds, suddenly shone even brighter, and gained the power of his… own strength?! His stats began to be shared by around 20% with all his soldiers, and they grew exponentially bigger and stronger. Their weapons were refined more, and they began to look completely insane.
And then, Blood Puppeteer connected his body and soul with his Blood Soldiers within the Blood Field, allowing him to move them to his will.
"Advance!" He said with a smile, as his eyes shone brightly.
"Shit…! This dude is going hardcore on me! Silva, keep pumping them monsters! You guys, go kill this bastard! The humans are already in little numbers, leave it to the Elves and Sol!" I ordered, using the power of my newly acquired Ring containing the Ego of the Triples to infuse a Lesser Blood Aura in all my Monsters, enhancing their stats, they all quickly marched towards the Emperor's army led by the two giant Dungeon Bosses.
CLAAAASH!
The battle quickly broke out. Fire Salamanders unleashed fireballs that they threw into the skies and that began to fall from afar, falling over the army of Blood Soldiers that the Emperor summoned.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Hundreds of enormous fireballs continued to fall over the Blood Soldiers, splattering their bodies over the Blood Field Domain and killing them instantly!
…Or so I would had wished.
However, the Soldiers simply reformed themselves, like slimes that are splattered over the floor, even if their blood was slightly boiled, they reformed themselves and jumped in unison over the giant Fire Salamanders, cutting down their bodies and beheading dozens in mere seconds, their blood quickly was absorbed by them, strengthening the army as Fire Salamander-shaped Blood Soldiers emerged after mine died.
"What the heck?! Oi bastard! This is literally necromancy!" I protested, but he couldn't hear me from afar.
Orc Warriors began to suffer the same fate, as they were slain swiftly by the Blood Soldiers and the new Fire Salamanders Blood Soldiers that unleashed fireballs, burning through the troops of Orcs…
This was surreal, I was getting outplayed…
I'm not going to let you do that again though!
