From the remains of the triples, a beautiful ring made of gold and with a big ruby-like jewel on top was left as the only sizable and useful vessel for the combined Ego trio, as I quickly decided to infuse the Ego into the ring!

FLASH!

"Your name will be… Ruby!"

The ring flashed with bright light, gaining a newfound power, and quickly assimilating the vessel and the ego together into a single existence. The ring immediately flew towards me, depositing itself into one of my thin spikes as if it were a finger.

I suddenly felt an incredible new power flowing through my body, as I saw Ruby's Status, it had some interesting powers I had honestly not seen before! I guess this is why it was a "Special" Ego, huh?

Even more power to me, then!

"Advance!"

I ordered the monster army to advance even further once more, as I suddenly felt the ring flash with bright light, a Blood Aura emerged, covering my body, and then spreading out through the hundreds of monsters Silva was creating. In mere seconds, all the monsters gained Lesser Blood Auras, gaining Blood Magic of low tier and some vampiric reflexes, alongiside regeneration boosts!

Although the humans struggled at the beginning of the battle, their insane amount of numbers and the backup of the overpowered princes and princesses they had with them was big enough for them to be reclaiming some more land from the territory of their army I was taken over.

However, that changed once more, as I flipped the scales and boosted my army of monsters! Now they were not as feeble when ganged, and their regeneration power was truly amazing. The Orc Warriors began unleashing Blood Magic of low tiers, but due to their amazing capacity and talent, they used it proficiently to drain the blood out of the wounds of foes, weakening them.

Meanwhile, the Fire Salamanders were now more resilient, faster, and jumped higher, becoming harder to overwhelm, their fire also gained a darker shade of red, crimson like blood itself, their blood flames spread out as the monster's eyes shone bright red.

"T-The monsters suddenly got stronger!"

"Uugh…! The giant ones are coming again!"

"Prince! Please help us!"

Suddenly, the knights asked the aid of an old prince that was in the frontlines fighting valiantly, a pale man with long black hair and a handsome face, alongiside bright red eyes. He had led the entire army forward and overwhelmed my monster army before.

"Prince Gustaf, we implore of you!"

"Leave this to me, men!" He roared valiantly, his black armor shone bright beneath the sun, his black blade emanated a darkness aura, as he swung it against the giant Blazing Drake Salamander approaching slowly, as she opened her mouth and unleashed a powerful [Blast of Infernal Flames]!

FLUOOSH!

The powerful blast against the enormous beam-like slice attack of darkness that the prince unleashed clashed against one another, but it seemed that, sadly, the obvious winner was decided!

"UUUGRRYYAAAGGGH…!"

Of course, Gustaf was turned into ashes because he was stupid enough to get in the way of our Blazing Drake Salamander's [Blast of Infernal Flames] as if he could even take it head on when it could literally melt rock and armor equally.

BOOOOOMMM!!!

The enormous explosion once mor killed hundreds, as the numbers of the humans continued to dwindle down constantly! The humans seemed to be despairing as they fought with everything they had, but ultimately they were no more than rats before our eyes, devoured by the flames of the salamanders and the enormous clubs of the orcs, their corpses laid over the floor ready for Silva to pick them and eat them, turning them into more MP for her endless factory of monsters to continue its functions.

"Prince Gustaf… he got… he died so fast…"

"What sort of monsters are those…"

"What… can we even do?!"

"Didn't we come here to invade this place, aren't they too well prepared?!"

"No matter how many monsters we kill, they keep appearing endlessly! What can we do?!"

The soldiers despaired while their Emperor remained in the back, his eyes locked into our hero, Sol, who was fighting against four Princes at the same time. His blazing blade swung strongly against the body of an old man-looking prince, as his entire body was sliced and burned away, charred over the floor.

"HYAAA!

SLASH!

Another prince attacked, a blue haired gentlemanly one, swinging a pair of whips. However, Sol strongly opposed his attacks with an incredible and masterful dance of his sword techniques, his flames unleashed an explosive barrage that reached his foe in an instant, burning him alive before he finished him off with an explosive Overpowering Sun!

BOOOM!

"Y-Youuu!"

A princess with long white hair attacked, flapping her vampiric bat-like wings and making her hands grow into enormous and sharp claws which attempted to slash Sol into pieces, however, Sol evaded and parried her second attack with her claws, as flames exploded from his legendary weapon, covering the woman's entire body and burning her.

"You're not humans at all, you're all Vampiric demons! What sort of Empire is this?! Why are you all Vampires?!" Sol couldn't help but ask as he continued fighting, desperately evading the blood and darkness magic while many elves also helped him. I quickly decided to help as well, commanding my monsters to aid him into lessening the weight.

The Fire Salamanders and the Orc Warriors proved to eb exceptional fighters when boosted with the Lesser Blood Aura and Commanding, so they easily gave enough support for the Elven Army to have less stress and burdens, while Sol had finally more room to fight without having to take care of a hundred soldiers trying to overwhelm him from all sides as well.

However, as this was happening, I finally saw him move.

The Emperor.

He suddenly stood up from sitting over the corpse of the Black Wyvern, and grasped his enormous black blade, his eyes shone with bright red light, as he seemed to be locking his sight into Sol, an adversary he had grown obsessed with in these few hours of incessant war.

"My army is hopeless… I'll have to step up and slay these annoyances before they kill more of my men…" He said ruthlessly, slowly walking forward, his presence was like that of a giant.
