How do we kill this bastard? Well, I had already planned that I could chip away his life and slowly take away his accessories. Thanks to them, he was able to take many of the explosions with ease, and even though he seemed to be slowly getting cornered, this wouldn't last long enough to tire him out of all his massive pool of HP. We need quicker means if possible.
"Phantom Blade Arts: Soul Slash!"
The Emperor suddenly gathered his Mana into his sword, finally using something that didn't need Blood, but it wasn't magic but a technique named "Phantom Blade Arts". With a quick and successive use of the sword, countless phantasmal mirages of sword slashes were unleashed in a mere second all round him.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
The swords sliced through my monsters, but they didn't sliced them into pieces, their souls were destroyed instead!
CRAAASH!
The sound of glass breaking spread across the battlefield, as I couldn't help but grit my jaws as I saw the power he had. The souls of these monsters suddenly flew towards his sword, which had the special ability to devour souls, and strengthened it!
"If you're simply leaving me such a plentiful feast, then I will indulge on it." He said, mercilessly swinging his sword around while slashing countless of my monsters and ignoring their blood completely, eating away their souls instead!
This damn bastard thinks he's pretty cool, huh.
Suddenly, I created several floating eyes, dozens of them, and directed their gazes at the Emperor's fast movements. In mere seconds, he suddenly began to grow slower, as his movements felt sluggish, and his body felt suddenly heavier and hard to control.
This was another big MP eating Skill, but one that was amazing. I had just acquired it but it already brought a great advantage in battle. Of course, how can I forget my fellow Abyssal Demo Fragment?
Yes, this Skill is [Abyssal Demon Fragment: Evil Eyes of Malice]!
-----
[Abyssal Demon Fragment: Evil Eyes of Malice: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
An awakened Fragment of the Abyssal Demon Body. These powerful set of eyes can cause several deadly status effects on inflicted targets based in their level and power. Additionally, the user is capable of creating a maximum of five more eyes across their bodies or outside of their bodies, as controllable drones that can float through [Telekinesis].
Current Evil Eye Curses:
Level 1: [Curse of the Slow] [Curse of the Weak]
-----
At its current level, it only possess two Curses, the Curse of the Slow and the Curse of the Weak, but both make a target's stats plummet, and it can stack over and over again by using several eyes! The skill allows the creation of more eyes, each one costs a lot of MP, but it is truly worth it! And the best? They can stare him from afar while he fights, free from being attacked or something.

…
Stack as many curses as I can!
"Unkh…!"
The Emperor suddenly felt too weak to ignore this feeling, looking around as the monsters continued to approach and explode in front of him. He was feeling lethargic. He realized a curse was being inflicted on him already, but not only one, dozens! Over twenty curses, in fact! He was getting completely fucked over, his stats were plummeting!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Meanwhile, the monsters kept on bombing! Yes, it seems I didn't even needed to buy a Skill to deal with this guy, he seems to be a complete dumbass to think he can just overpower stuff with his muscles and his blood- well, lack of blood! Hahaha! This is why going full vampire route is bad for you, friend.
"This is…! Haha… HAHAHA!"
However, the bastard began to laugh. Yes, he laughed. He was laughing at the thrill of battle, at the feeling of being cornered. This Emperor wasn't just a little noble raised as a spoiled child. He was a true battle junkie obsessed with going through intense struggles and suffering because that makes him feel alive. I can already understand that even in such a scenario, he enjoys it and makes him even laugh.
"RAAAH! HAHAHA! RAAAA!"
He continued swinging his sword while unleashing soul eating attacks, strengthening the sword while continuing to unleash powerful blows all while surviving. The power of his armor and his equipment shone in this battle as he was able to survive thanks to them more than anything now. Even with the curses, there was a limit. My eyes began to bleed after the twentieth eye, this is as much as I can go if I don't want to just lose my sight.
SLAAASH!
TRUUM!
BOOM!
Slashing attacks, explosions, the shaking of the earth. I observed him fight, seeking an opening as Aquamarine had already turned back into a necklace and I was floating in midair. He seemed to either lack the ability to fly right now, or he was planning something.
SLAAASH!
Suddenly, my Dungeon Bosses fell. Both fought against him thinking they could win, I didn't stopped them because I wanted to see if they could inflict good enough damage, and they did, in exchange for their lives.
"Hahh… Ungh…! Hahhah… Hahaha!"
His entire body was already charred by the flames of the Blazing Drake Salamander, while some of his bones were shattered due to the blows of the Orc Chief.
Yet this madman was still standing.
