"Shit, no wonder they overpowered me! They're the strongest weapon holders. Rose and Luna always said they were stronger and could take down a country if they all united. Wait... I heard there were five of them, but I only see three. Where are the other two?" I pondered, looking around to see if they were hiding somewhere.
"You can't find them. They're not here. The Healer Saint is currently in the Holy Kingdom, and the Sword Saint is with the Hero in the Elven Kingdom!" Regoven used her mind-reading magic to see what I was thinking. She smiled, examining my pathetic act.
"She's using her mind-reading magic. I cannot take her lightly," I thought, looking at the Mage Saint. Her lecherous eyes made me feel she would suck me dry.
"Incoming!"
Uram shouted and pointed at the sky. Pluge and Regoven looked up and saw thousands of fire arrows coming toward them. They immediately cast spells, creating an invisible shield. The fire arrows couldn't penetrate it and shattered upon contact.
"Where are those coming from?" I turned around and saw Rani approaching with soldiers on steeds.
"My people, once again, shoot at them on my command! Fire!" Rani roared with all her strength. Her soldiers instantly reloaded another round of arrows and fired, but their attacks were futile each time.
Rani immediately left her steed and approached me with a concerned expression. She examined my body and found some dirt and scratches. "Emperor, are you okay? Do you have any serious injuries? Call the healers now!"
"You don't need to get so tense; we are on the battlefield," I said, stopping Rani from calling the healers. She stared at me and felt sad to hear my blunt response. As we were occupied in our conversation, an unfamiliar yet recognizable figure approached, walking in step with the Duke's silver knights.
Regoven, Uram, Pluge, and Rani's soldiers looked at her and noticed more than five thousand knights following her.
She was none other than Saga Duke herself, her expression full of hatred and revenge as tears dripped down her cheeks. "You are the bastard who ruthlessly killed my baby! I will not leave you alive. I will kill you and make my baby's soul rest in peace!"
"Phoenix!" Saga shouted, summoning her soul weapon. A golden ethereal sword manifested in her hands as a shining, beautiful bird with a long, colorful tail soared above her.
"So she is Saga Duke, that bastard's mother. I can feel how much she loves her son. She's here to take revenge on me for killing that horny bastard!" I mused, noting that she was a beautiful woman with a curvy figure and large breasts. I felt a twinge of jealousy that the bastard had such a beautiful mother.
"No, she is Saga Duke, the head of the Duke family. She also has a legendary-level soul weapon. We can't win against her; we have to escape now!" Rani instantly called her soul weapon, and two majestic blades appeared in her hands. A beautiful small doll with an exquisite appearance stood before us. I was surprised to see Rani's dual soul weapons and the doll.
Uram looked at the doll protecting us and let out a chuckle, mocking Rani's soul weapon. "Hahaha, what's that? A doll? That's a mid-level soul weapon. Do you really think that thing could protect you? Let's see what it's capable of!"
Uram shot two flaming arrows toward the doll. Rani smirked, stood beside the doll, and easily cut the arrows into tiny pieces. But the arrows kept coming. Rani looked in Uram's direction and spoke, "Celestia, break their shield!"
Celestia disappeared at lightning speed and emerged in front of Uram. He panicked at her sudden appearance, but his Walcher created a barrier and attacked her. However, to his surprise, Walcher's attack failed as Celestia released profound energy that burned Walcher's body and injured Uram significantly.
"Aahhh! That is not possible! How can your mid-level soul weapon hurt my Walcher?" Uram asked in disbelief, seeing that Rani's doll Celestia had injured his Walcher.
"What could you expect from the Haman princess? We are masters in potion making and weapon refining. It is not difficult for us to make my Celestia stronger than a legendary-level soul weapon!" Rani said with a proud smile, looking at Uram to see if he wanted to continue the attack.
I was staggered to see Rani and the power she possessed. I hadn't thought she would be able to hurt Uram and his Walcher.
Suddenly, Saga charged and slashed her sword in the air, creating a melting lava blade. But before the lava could travel half the distance, Regoven conjured black tentacles that instantly consumed Saga's attack.
"What the f@ck was that? Regoven, don't interfere in my fight! I'm here to avenge my baby's soul!" Saga shouted at Regoven for shielding me from her attack, but Regoven ignored her warning.
"What's wrong with protecting my boy? Don't you dare touch a hair on his head," Regoven boldly stated, causing everyone to look at her with shocked expressions. No one expected that she would suddenly take the side of the Dragon Emperor, especially given their orders from the gods to kill Xzson.
"You b@tch! If that's what you wish, then I'll have to kill you first, and then I'll kill that bastard!" Saga charged at Regoven and slashed her sword vertically. Regoven called forth tentacles with her dark wand, holding Saga in the air. Saga struggled and tried to break free.
"Phoenix!" The bird, responding to Saga's call, released a torrent of molten fire from its mouth, melting the tentacles.
Saga freed herself from Regoven's grasp and glared at her with killing intent. "Is that all you can do? I'm disappointed in you, Mage Saint!"
"This has just started. I haven't shown my true power yet. Don't get disappointed too soon," Regoven replied, her voice dripping with confidence.
Regoven and Saga exchanged grim smiles and engaged in a fierce battle, their attention shifting between each other and occasionally glancing at me.
"System, create their clones now!"
(Okay, host...)
"Error! Clones cannot be created at this time! The system has faced too many casualties among clones and has reached its limit for creating further clones.
Requesting system upgrade!"
"What are you saying now, at this moment?" I exclaimed in shock, realizing the system's new limitation on creating clones. Rani turned towards me, noticing my anxious expression.
"Emperor, has something bad happened? Why do you look so troubled?"
I looked at Rani helplessly. How was I supposed to explain that I had run out of options—Frosty refused to listen, the system couldn't create more clones, and I couldn't fight them with my current strength.
[Feeling helpless? I told you to increase your strength, but your ego refused to listen to me!]
Frosty's voice echoed in my mind. "Frosty, do you know what's happening here?"
[If you are, then why don't you call your wife? They could save you from this mess!]
Frosty sneered, seemingly enjoying my distress.i can't call Rose and Sendra, Even if I wanted to, they won't be here on time. Suddenly, I felt the ground beneath me begin to shake. Ignoring it, I refocused on Frosty.
"If only I had realized sooner, perhaps I could have made things right before attacking the Human camp," I said sadly, inwardly accepting that my failure to improve my power might have been a mistake.
[I'm glad to see you finally accepting your mistake, but it's not too late—]
As Frosty spoke, the ground shook again, this time with an eerie sensation as if something was moving underground.
[What was that? I felt a surge of demonic energy moving beneath us.]
"I don't know what's happening... Rani, what's wrong?" I turned to see Rani panting heavily, kneeling down with her sword for support.
