In front of me a crazed bitch appeared! She kind of reminded me of the various vampires I have once fought against in the invasion they made over the Kingdom of Centaurs some time ago… That's where I also met my wifey Agatheina.

I miss her… She was an insane Vampire Lady with a great authority and an amazing beauty and charisma. She had been one of my closest servants and later wives I had. I really… Ugh, I wanna snuggle with her like we used to do in bed! Damn it.

Ah, right, the fight. I have to just kill these bastards so I'll get back home eventually, right? So let's get this done with fast because I am going to go even more insane if I keep living like this without my daily dose of love from my lovely harem of wives!

"I've finally found you, bug!"

Suddenly, a beautiful black-haired lady emerged. Looking around her mid-twenties, she was wearing full red armor, with a long red cape. Her eyes shone bright red and her long black hair was quite frightening. Her unhealthy candlewax-colored skin was truly that of a Vampire as well.

However, what was weird is the enormous pair of bat-like wings stuck to her back, flapping rapidly around. While her aura gave out the deadly presence of a vampiric woman… despite being "human". Huh, humans are getting pretty shady in this world.

"Are you sure you're not a Vampire, honey?" I asked her.

"Vampire?! How dare you call a Human such as myself a demon-like race from old!" She said.

Yep, she has no idea. The soldiers happily clamored for her, however.

"Ah! It is Lady Mary!"

"One of the oldest princesses is here!"

"Please slay the bug!"

"She has amazing power…! M-Maybe she is our last hope…"

Seriously guys, seriously? Typical NPC dialogue.

"With gusto, soldiers!" Laughed Mary, as enormous blood blades emerged around her, pointing them directly at me and Aquamarine.

Wow, that's some newbie level Blood Magic. She can't do Blood Bombs at the very least or something? Lame.

"Is that it? That's just blood magic." I said while sighing.

However, she suddenly surprised me with something I had not expected.

"Soul Flare!" She said, interrupting me out of nowhere.

The swords suddenly gained red flames covering them, enhancing their power. This wasn't something that normal Vampires would develop through Blood Magic. Was this Soul Magic?

No, this wasn't mere Soul Magic, this is a Cheat Skill, right? I see! Is this another inherited Cheat Skill from the Heroes that these guys descend from? I mean, they don't have anything heroic about themselves other than stealing powers from people that got summoned here unwillingly…

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

"Soul Flare is an amazing Unique Skill I've obtained since birth! It was once held by the Hero of Souls! And it grants me the ability to pierce through the enemy magical defenses, and even damage their souls directly! You monster might have a tough body, but what about your soul?! Can you take this?!" the woman named "Mary" laughed. She was a princess of the Human Empire, as I had assumed and realized afterwards when the soldiers called for her aid.

The weapons made of blood, from blades to spears, fell towards me and Aquamarine with blazing soul might. They were fast and incredibly powerful and I had to put just a bit more power into blocking them.

"Abyssal Ice + Miasmic Ooze + Insectoid Leg Production!"

I quickly combined three oddballs of a Skills together in quick succession, as an enormous wall of legs made out of abyssal ice and frozen miasmic ooze emerged out of my very body, which quickly blocked the enormous quantity of projectiles.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I discovered that because Insectoid Leg Production was a Skill, I could even merge it with others through their effects and using them at the same time, and this weird strategy came out! I can make insectoid legs made out of elements! They'll detach pretty quickly, but they can help me make walls or an enormous spear to punch someone in the face like right now!

CLAAASH!

I put together five insectoid legs that emerged out of my body grotesquely, combining them with the Abyssal Ice and the Miasmic Ooze, as an enormous spear made out of my very body clashed against the woman in midair!

BOOM!

"AAGH…! W-What the…?!" She cried, her reflexes not so fast to actually realize what I was doing in time to think about a counterattack. "Why did my Soul Flare didn't work?!"

"That's quite simple, honey. Your cheat skill is pretty trash. As long as there's enough surface to block your blows, they cannot trespass solid objects. Let me show you what an actual phantasmal and soul-type attack really is!"

I used [Roll], [Haste], and [Telekinesis] to lift me off Aquamarine's back, as I reached Mary in an instant, rotating over her body. She gritted her teeth in fury, gathering blood around her surroundings from the corpses left behind and forming a gigantic sword of regal details and appearance.

"Divine Blood Sword…! Soul Flare…!"

She combined her Soul Flare with her ultimate Blood Magic Spell, a giant sword made of blood as big as twenty meters, and quickly sent it towards me at point blank.

CLAAASH!

I ended clashing against it while rolling. As I rolled, my speed got faster and the intensity and force of her blade began to grow less and less. The enormous blade began to crack, as I unleashed my Divine Aura and Domain, combining it with my Phantasmal Aura. Countless phantasmal tentacles emerged one after the other, grasping the sword and hitting it until…!

Crack… crack….!

CRASH!

"M-My Divine Blood Sword…!" The woman cried in surprise, as my phantasmal limbs quickly reached her body. I used them to twist her body merciless, grasping both her body and her soul, and crushing her.

"GYYYAAAAHHH…! S-STOP! STOOOOP!"

The screams of agony of the princess of the Human Empire resonated across the army, the morale of the invaders plummeted.
