CRASH!
I began to crush the woman's body with dozens of phantasmal limbs, as she began to scream in agony. It was my purpose to slowly kill her so she would scream as loud as possible. Lowering the morale of the invaders was a top priority so I could pick them up easier afterwards!"Black! White! Eat her up!"
"Got it!"
"Very well…"
I quickly summoned Black and White at the same time, as both of them quickly impaled Mary, or whatever was left of her after I crushed her until she was left looking like a meatball, and then finished her, as a phantasmal jaw and a flash of bright light consumed her almost equally.
"G-Guuhh…! S-Stop! Shtoooop! NOOO!"
Mary was somehow alive, perhaps due to her Vampiric regeneration and physique giving her tons of endurance, she struggled with all her might, trying to crawl away from the enormous jaws devouring her, but it was futile.
CRUNCH!Another one bites the dust.
Ding!
[Black] has activated [Predation] on target foe]
[White] has activated [Spiritual Assimilation] on target foe]
[Predation] and [Spiritual Assimilation] succeed, effects overlapping has enhanced the quality of aa new [Ego] that has been created]
[A [High Quality Ego] has been created]
[The stats of [Black] and [White] have increased]
So this was the most efficient way to use their powers! Black has the ability to Predate a physical body and their essence and convert them into an Ego. But when I made Arcane, he was still quite weak due to something lacking, which White supplemented using her Spiritual Assimilation, which is like Predation, but for souls.
When both effects were done at the same time, they overlapped and generated an even higher quality ego! It seems that Egos have qualities or rarities, and a [High Quality Grade Ego] seems pretty good to me.
"I-It can't be… Mary!"
"Lady Mary… she was eaten?!"
"What sort of horrifying sight is this?!"
"R-Run… there's no hope… there's no hope!"
The soldiers began to scream and cry, some began to immediately run away for their lives, but the enormous tiger made out of Abyssal Ice, Aquamarine, began to pick them up by the dozens, killing half a hundred in a few seconds with a swing of his enormous claws and by covering the battlefield with Abyssal Ice.
Meanwhile, I looked at the floating, red-colored Ego of Mary, and quickly grabbed the sword she was holding with her, which was magical and enhanced her Blood Magic. We got another random Ego so we might as well put her to good use, fuse!
FLASH!
[A New [High Quality Ego] has been created]
[Name the Ego?]
"Yes! Let's just call her as she was before, Mary!"
[Mary] has been assigned as a name for the [High Quality Ego]
FLAAASH!
The red-colored sword suddenly gained life, as it began to rotate round furiously, unleashing an aura of blood and red color everywhere, it suddenly gained a single eye on the handle, and seemed to be truly quite vampiric. Checking its status, it was named "Sentient Vampiric Blood Sword: Mary", a fitting name for her new form.
"Now slay your soldiers, and absorb their blood, little Mary!" I ordered her, as the blade began to glow with a bright red light, flying towards the army of escaping soldiers and slashing them into pieces.
Their blood emerged like countless fountains, as she began to absorb the blood and grow constantly stronger, unleashing rays of red light to catch more prey, she was a crazed bloodthirsty weapon, an interesting new addition to my ever-growing collection of Egos.
I looked at my Status once more, seeing that my EXP was three fifths on its way to reach the Max Level. In a bit more, I should reach Max Level and be able to evolve, but these soldiers, quite honestly, are giving some pathetic EXP even when slain by the dozens or hundreds, we need to hasten the pace, especially when their numbers are so many that they're still overwhelming the elven troops.
"Silva! How much MP do you have right now?"
"A lot! Lots and lots!"
Silva responded to me quickly, as I saw her emerge before me through my Ego Weapon Summoning Skill, which even worked with Silva who wasn't acquired through Divinity Stat like the other three Ego Weapons.
"Very well then, dear, let's open the gate to hell!"
"Gotcha!"
Silva flew down below, reaching the middle of thousands of soldiers advancing forward or running away from the deadly Abyssal Ice of my Aquamarine who was playfully chasing them around, and then, a crack in space opened before them.
CRAKC!
"W-What was that?"
"Did anybody heard that?!"
"Eh? AH!"
"T-That's… a crack in space?!"
Everyone suddenly realized an enormous fissure in space appeared, and the more they looked at it, the more they discerned its interior, a near endless labyrinth.
"A-A dungeon?!"
"W-Wait, don't get closer!
FLUOOSH!
Suddenly, an enormous fireball emerged from the fissure in space, reaching the face of a curious soldier. The flames were not weak, quickly taking over his entire body and burning him alive.
"GYYYAAAH! IT BURNS! HELP!"
With a loud thud, lizard-like legs emerged from the fissure, as countless Fire Salamander Monsters started popping out of the fissure, not by the dozens, but by the hundreds! Silva had just accumulated tons of MP by eating so many soldier corpses that she was now bringing the cavalry!
"F-Fire Salamanders?!"
"T-Those are high ranked monsters, right?!"
"Shit, they're too many, and they're strangely… organized?!"
"AGGGH…!"
"Their fire is strange; it spreads and not even water magic can easily turn it off!"
However, alongside the Fire Salamanders, giant Orc Warriors emerged, marching forward with their enormous and tall bodies covered in muscle and fat, holding giant clubs, and smashing the armored soldiers beneath their feet ruthlessly.
Yes, it was time to change the tide of battle with what we had been preparing since I absorbed the Dark Labyrinth and created Silva.
"Now march forward all of you!" I instructed the monsters.
Ding!
