I quickly commanded more monsters to attack more furiously, infusing more of MP into Silva and also my Lesser Blood Aura and the Commanding Skill, together, the stats of my monsters suddenly multiplied by tens of times, but even then, they were still struggling to maintain the upper hand, and the more they died, the more they joined the army of the Human Emperor, which should be renamed to Blood Emperor, to be honest.

This constantly happened as he kept marching to the frontlines slowly, with his enormous army of ever-growing Blood Soldiers, I was beginning to sweat severely a bit. However, I was also beginning to comprehend his powers some more. It seems he required the blood of his victims to turn them into Blood Soldiers, their bodies were discarded and left behind, even though they still had a lot of blood left, he only extracted around 3 / 4 of it.

He was also not letting the battle to his Soldiers alone, but he had to use Blood Puppeteer to control them so they can fight properly. This means that he's using his mind and controlling hundreds of them at the same time. Even as expressionless as he is, this must probably tire his mind to an extent… right?

I had considered buying a new Skill, but it's not as if I had not tried out all the combinations my current Skill effects can do. I remember that in Genesis I always combined Skill effects, but in this world, it seems to be even more flexible, perhaps because I am quite good at doing it already from my previous life.

So… Vampires are weak to sunlight and light, right? Heh… He thinks I haven't realized, but he's using special items to cover this weakness, those rings and bracelets he's wearing imbued with protection magic are very strong, he's using them to protect himself from such things. If I can get them out of his hands, he would grow severely weaker.

Well, not only I can accomplish that right now… but can his troops protect themselves from their weakness? They lack sunlight weakness it seems, but what about Holy Light? Flames seemed effective, the flames of the Fire Salamanders and the Blazing Drake Salamander made them melt away and it took them longer to regenerate. When they were completely cooked, they couldn't be controlled anymore. This means he can't control blood that is cooked, and only raw and fresh blood.

Then how about boosting my monster's strength first before doing anything rash myself? After all, this is war, and he's also fighting with an army, so let me show you what I can do…

"Lesser Blood Aura + Purification + Holy Flames + Commanding + White's Light Embodiment!"

FLAAASH!

All the Skills effects were condensed as they activated at the same time, masterfully holding their power together, a flash of bright light emerged out of my body, as White suddenly turned into this bright light and then flew towards all the hundreds of monsters that were in the battlefield, while Silva generated more by eating the humans being slaughtered by the elves and sol troops with minimal support.

"T-This power…! I never thought I could become something like this!" White said in surprise, as her light spread out everywhere in the monster army, covering the monsters' entire bodies as if she were an armor for all of them.

FLASH!

Then, the light materialized, as the monsters all emerged overflowing with new Auras of Blood, Holy Light, and Flames, this was… a new form to use White's powers I had never thought that I could use! And this Aura wasn't that bad either! It was amazing, their stats went from ten times higher to tens of times higher! The Emperor quickly noticed something was wrong when lasers of light began to come out of my Orc's attacks, and when my Salamanders flames were golden in color and spread out boiling his troops more easily.

"Yes… I'll call this [Holy Light Aura Empowerment]!" I celebrated. "White, how much time do you think you can boost everybody in this form?"

"I-I have no idea, but I feel like I am draining their Mana out… I only will last as long as they got Mana for it!" Said White.

"Hmm, I see… Mana is not a problem, I am already gaining Mana from all their attacks inflicted upon foes and also from those of the elves thanks to [Mana Drain] after all!"

"What? How is that possible? Isn't Mana Drain limited to your own attacks?"

"Not really, there's something I was able to abuse. Any time my egos fight and attack, I also can drain Mana. Silva is technically the one fighting and draining Mana, directing it towards me which I then infuse into her… Thanks to her [Sharpness Enhancement] she had enhanced the sharpness of the weapons of the elves and also the claws of my monsters, somehow, this counted as her "blade" when they were enhanced, so now the monsters and elves drain a bit of Mana with each hit, which transfers to me- not only Mana, but Health as well!"

"S-So that's it… Master you're truly a cunning monster! I love it!"

White seemed as condescending as ever, all while the Human Emperor felt slightly surprised, his troops were quickly being crushed by the power of my new [Holy Light Aura Empowerment] Ability!

But of course, knowing how bastard he is, I am sure that won't be enough for his stupid looking face, he wants more, he craves more. So he smiles and then, finally noticed me atop the enormous tiger made of purple ice, Aquamarine.

"You're a monster yet you're capable of doing such things… Incredible! You… You will be a fitting challenge until I clash swords with that Hero of Fire!" He said, pointing his sword at me as he suddenly gathered blood into his free hand…

"Blood Storm!"

FLUOSH!

A storm of blood and dark winds suddenly emerged, like a devastating tornado, it took over the monsters in front of him by surprise, blowing them off the ground!

BOOOOMMM!!!

Looks like this bastard still got a lot more on him.
