MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 1096: Fun-4

The remaining Vampires stayed silent for a moment, all staring at Anthony as though contemplating what to do next, as nothing they had attempted so far was working and their numbers were thinning by the minute with relentless consistency.

”Hey, Blood Queen, aren’t you going to intervene? Your subordinates are dying, you know,” Anthony called out toward the unseen Blood Queen, but she remained wherever she was, observing from afar. To her, she had deployed her forces not only to attempt to drain Anthony but also to gather as much information on him as possible during the course of their battle, treating the entire encounter as a calculated experiment.

Only silence answered Anthony’s provocation. After a brief moment, Anthony simply shrugged as he spoke with a relaxed smile, ”As you can see, she doesn’t care whether you live or die, I suppose she isn’t called the Blood Queen for nothing,” his words laced with amusement and an almost unsettling calm, as though nothing in the entire Universe could possibly disturb him.

The remaining five Vampires exchanged glances before nodding subtly; it was evident they were communicating telepathically, coordinating their next move. Anthony made no attempt to interfere with them, as where would the enjoyment be in interrupting their last desperate effort?

In the next moment, their blood energy erupted in perfect synchronization, as though they were preparing to cast the same spell, and indeed they were, as five voices echoed across the vastness of the Galaxy at the exact same time.

The instant the spell was cast, their mana surged violently, their blood energy erupting alongside it, then a pool of blood formed beneath their feet and began to rise steadily toward their heads, eventually swallowing all five of them completely within a cocoon of writhing, pulsating blood.

Anthony arched an eyebrow slightly; he did not interrupt, nor did he move, instead simply observing with keen interest, curious about what would emerge. After a few seconds, the blood cocoon shattered violently, and from within it, a monstrous entity revealed itself.

The Vampire, or rather, whatever it had become, stood at nearly twelve feet in height, its muscles bulging far beyond that of a Titan, covering its entire body with grotesque density. Massive black and blood-red wings extended from its back, stretching outward with oppressive presence. Its skin remained deathly pale, and in its hand rested a colossal blood-red hammer that radiated the capability of tearing apart entire solar systems. Its eyes burned with maddened intensity as they locked onto Anthony, as though it had finally encountered its ultimate existential nemesis.

The monster did not hesitate; it appeared before Anthony in less than a millisecond, its speed surpassing anything any of the previous Vampires had displayed. Without pause, it raised its enormous hammer and brought it crashing down upon Anthony’s comparatively smaller frame, making him appear almost childlike in contrast.

Anthony calmly watched the hammer descend, and without the slightest delay, his hand moved toward the katana resting at his waist. The moment he touched the hilt, it liquefied and reshaped itself instantly, transforming into a hammer. With a dexterous spin, he swung it upward to meet the incoming strike.

And with a thunderous burst of madness, a titanic explosion expanded outward like a swelling sphere, swallowing everything within its reach. Yet neither of them stepped back. In a flash, they vanished from their original location and reappeared upon the surface of a distant star, where they continued to clash, swinging their hammers at each other with relentless ferocity like beings driven purely by instinct and raw aggression.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

They did not stop, they did not pause, they did not even blink; they devolved into primal warriors, embodying nothing but overwhelming physical strength and unrestrained force.

Despite the overwhelming difference in size, the monstrous Vampire was gradually being pushed onto the defensive, as Anthony overwhelmed it through sheer mastery of the hammer, deliberately refraining from utilizing his superior strength, as there would be no enjoyment in ending the battle too quickly.

With the force of a falling comet, Anthony’s hammer crashed into the jaw of the monstrous Vampire, sending it hurtling upward in a blur. But Anthony pursued immediately, appearing above it with a wide, exhilarated grin, his hammer raised high above his head before he brought it down with even greater destructive force.

The Vampire monster reacted instinctively, swinging its own hammer upward to meet Anthony’s strike. The collision unleashed a deafening explosion, sending violent sparks erupting outward with such intensity that they seemed to drown out the very light of the surrounding stars. Without hesitation, Anthony increased his speed further, swinging his hammer again, this time slamming it directly into the creature’s stomach.

Like a bolt of thunder tearing through the heavens, the Vampire monster crashed violently into a nearby sun. Yet it did not remain still; its wings flapped powerfully as it dodged immediately, narrowly avoiding the next strike. The instant it moved, Anthony’s hammer collided with the exact position its head had occupied, causing the sun itself to erupt in a violent explosion of blazing energy.

The Vampire monster retaliated instantly, channeling lightning through its body as it attacked with blinding speed, the electrical energy amplifying both its velocity and destructive power. But Anthony simply sidestepped mid-air with effortless grace, avoiding the attack entirely before bringing his hammer down upon the creature’s chest. Instantly, a massive chunk of flesh was blasted outward as his strike tore through its body with overwhelming force.

Its regeneration activated immediately, restoring the damage in an instant, but Anthony paid it no mind. He swung again, his hammer crashing into the monster’s knees with the battering force of two rams colliding head-on.

The Vampire monster’s legs buckled instantly, forcing it to its knees, but the moment it knelt, the only thing that filled its vision was Anthony’s hammer descending directly toward its face, the wielder wearing a wide grin devoid of mercy or restraint.

Anthony was clearly enjoying this far too much for someone who had merely left a Military Base to spend time with friends.

The monster was completely overwhelmed; before it could even react, Anthony struck again, his hammer landing blow after blow in rapid succession, each attack delivered within fractions of a second.

Left. Right. Right. Left. Up. Down. Side.

His attacks came from every direction without discrimination, an unending barrage of destruction. After enduring a series of devastating blows, the Vampire monster suddenly flashed with a bright red light, and in the next instant, the five original Vampires reappeared as the fusion was forcibly undone due to the endless, continuous assault from Anthony.

But the moment they reappeared, Anthony paused briefly, his hammer transforming back into a katana in a fluid motion. Then, with the speed and precision of a Swordmaster, he executed a single slash, yet countless sword lines erupted outward simultaneously, reducing the Vampires into nothing more than shredded remnants of flesh.

Before they could even begin to regenerate, Anthony unleashed his Divine Flames, incinerating them completely and reducing them to absolute nothingness. And with that, he calmly sheathed his katana, standing alone in the silence of his own hedonistic victory.
