"Your stats are much more than mine now," I say as even though his other stats besides magic have 200, that''s without his equipment which most likely gives him even more stat buffs.
Akito didn''t change much besides his skin turning a clear pale white, he grew slightly taller, his nails grew a bit longer, and finally, his canines had turned into 2 razor-sharp vampire fangs.
"I do not deserve such praise, and I believe your highness is still much stronger than me," Akito says while bowing deeply.
I chuckled a bit before gesturing for one of my maids to bring out arge wooden box that held something that I ordered from Aiso quite a while ago.
"I assume you don''t have a soul weapon yet?" I ask while the maid walks towards Akito.
"I believe true strengthes from only the person and not the weapon, so I try my best to use the weakest weapons I can find," Akito responds humbly.
"Well, eventually, you will need that slight advantage so just in case, take this soul weapon," I say, gesturing for the maid to open the wooden box, which held a beautiful spear just the right size for Akito.
It was about 2 meters long and made from a shiny silver metal that matched perfectly with the other shiny red gems attached, giving it the attribute of fire.
"Thank you very much, your highness; I will be sure to treasure it," Akito says before slitting his thumb with his own nail and dripping the blood onto the spear.
Once I saw the spear had disappeared into thin air, I knew it worked, so I immediately nodded my head while Akito smiled in satisfaction.
And just as I was about to dismiss Akito, he spoke up with a question that made my smile turn upside down.
"Your highness, if I may be so rude to ask… May I have just a drop of your blood? I will be sure to savor it under the moonlight and make sure nothing contaminates it," Akito asks while bowing deeply.
Akito had a calm expression, but it soon turned into fear as he looked up and saw my face, which grimaced in disgust, causing him to apologize immediately.
"F-forgive me. I spoke such a nonsensical question,"
"If you can''t control your urge for blood like what happened in the previous war, then I might have to drop you from one of my Direct Subordinates," I say with a voice colder than ice.
"Please ignore my previous question, and I would like to thank you once more for the soul equipment. I will be sure to treasure it," Akito says before raising his head and leaving the room as he clearly understood that he pissed me off.
He''s bing wilder and wilder… Hopefully, I don''t have to kill or restrain him in the future due to his blood lust.
"Mistress, would you like a drink?" The elven maid next to me asks.
"Yes, please, and bring Be, Anna, and Amelia here… There is something that I want to test out," I tell the maid, who immediately bows deeply before running off to go fulfill my orders.
There is something I''ve just started to wonder about… If I can fuse items into myself with [Assimtion], doesn''t that mean I can do it with other people?
"You there, go bring me part of the wolf''s teeth, one of the phoenix feathers, and piece of the deer''s antlers which are in the Treasure Room," I say to the maid next to me, who immediately bows before walking down one of the hallways.
A few minutes passed, and a ss of water was brought out for me with my previous maids. I was ordered toe back upon arriving at the kingdom.
"Is there any information you have on the kingdom before the items get here?" I ask my maids, who kneeled in front of me as I took a sip of water.
"Not much. We know that many nobles are leaving, and even some of the citizens have found out the situation of the kingdom, causing chaos to ensue," Be says.
"And that was just from yesterday, so it must be much worse today, and I believe it is the right time to wipe them out," Anna adds on.
"I know it is… But, we are extremely low on soldiers, and we don''t know if any other kingdoms have noticed our existence and our nning to attack us," I say while taking another sip of water.
"We can help with the manpower," I hear a familiar voicee from the hallway right next to me.
"Oh, I didn''t know you were still here?" I ask Reyna, who walked towards the middle of the room and kneeled in front of my maids, slightly angering them.
"Stand down," I say just in case they thought Reyna was a spy as she was human.
"As you wish," They all respond before wiping away most of their hostility.
"Of course I''m still here when you were struggling… And if you need to wipe out the rest of the Uxtan Kingdom, we can help even though our army might not be as big as you expect it to be," Reyna says with a warm smile.
"*sigh*... Why are you still trying to help me when you have already achieved your goal?" I respond while squinting my eyes in suspicion.
"Because I want to mend our friendship… We don''t have to be lovers, but I want to be friends with you at least,"
"Isn''t that selfish of you?"
"Of course it is," Reyna says with a smile.
This woman already knew how I liked her… How troublesome.
"*sigh*... How about you wipe out the rest of the Uxtan Kingdom first, and if you manage to seed, then we''ll help each other spread out influence and take out every single empire and kingdom on this ne,"
"Oh, you know about nes?"<sub> </sub>
"Of course… Now step aside; we''ll talk about the trading dealter," I say as I see my other maid bring in the materials I requested before.
"Okay~," Reyna says before walking to the edge of the room and leaning against the cold stone wall.
"Step forward," I say to my maids.
"Yes, Mistress," They all respond as I grab the materials and throw the correct ones at their fitting maid.
Anna has the piece of the Overlord Deer horn, Amelia has the piece of the Overlord Wolf tooth, and finally, Be has the phoenix feather.
After walking down from my throne, I ce my hand on the top of Amelia''s head first as she was closest to me before activating [Assimtion].
Amelia was clearly scared, but I just kept patting her head as she began to glow a bright white light with the piece of wolf tooth being absorbed into her.
"M-mistress… It hurts," Amelia says while shaking in pain, and tears began to flow from her eyes.
"Just hold on a bit longer," I say to reassure Amelia as I honestly didn''t know how long this process would take.
A few minutes passed, and the white glow finally disappeared, and Amelia looked like an entirely different person.
Her grayish-blue wolf ears and tail were nowpletely ck with stripes of yellow streaking across them.
Her long hair was now a dark gray that you could''ve considered ck and on each cheek was one horizontal yellow stripe.
And finally, the coolest and my most favorite part of the transformation was Amelia''s star pupils, which glowed a slight yellow just like myself.
"You''re so cute now," I say while hugging Amelia tofort her through the slowly dissipating pain that was being washed out of her body.
Amelia cried just a bit more into my shoulder before I inspected her as I was inquisitive if anything new happened to her status.

"Ooooh… You''re a variant now, and even your maid title has been upgraded to [Battle Maid]," I say while petting Amelia, who clearly wasn''t listening due to the blissful feeling of my hand stroking her hair.
"What the hell was that?" Reyna asks while walking up to Amelia and inspecting her body.
"I don''t know. When I did this to my own body, it just gave me a skill…." I respond before letting go of Amelia''s head.
"*cough* *cough* *cough* Thank you very much, Mistress," Amelia says, regaining her stern and seriousposure, which made me smirk slightly.
So cute…
"Stop looking at your maid like that," Reyna says, making me roll my eyes before moving onto Be.
