At long last, a worthy opponent!

This Vampire woman named Rose quickly coated her own body with a powerful and resilient materialization of her own blood, coating almost any vulnerable spot in her body with this scarlet red armor which seemed both good for defense and also extremely light, she was using it over her body like a true knight too, and even her face was covered by a helmet, resembling an angered demon with large horns coming from it.

The entire design was amazing, I was going to steal that design and that armor if possible. Hopefully, it can come included with her tasty Mana Core of Rank 4, although I don't have high hopes for that.

Her entire body began to unleash a tremendous quantity of power from all around as if she was being possessed by a malicious spirit of her ancestors, the power of this spectral energy came from her very soul, which unlike mine or that of Benladann, resembled a slimy mass of blood with spectral properties. Vampires seemed to be more than capable of developing their souls into these insanely powerful ones.

I checked her stats as I was surprised by her stats, which had skyrocketed after she unleashed the power of her buffing spells.

Nonetheless, I didn't regret having provoked her. I wanted to see the full extent of my limits, fighting strong opponents made my mind go crazy with the intent of killing and fighting, this was what I needed to improve my fighting abilities. Killing things that are so easy to kill gets dull!

Although I might seem to be completely foolish by doing this, fear not, I  had many ways to fight and use my powers, and I was going to use them in the best ways possible as the challenges came forward.

I waved my hands as the various elemental weapons, armors, and other things I've consumed emerged before me, merging with my scales and skin into a powerful armor of my own creation, I tried to not imitate her design, but it still looked deadly, with azure and purple colors, it exuded the light of darkness and cold ice. The helmet had the appearance of a deadly dragon roaring fiercely, like a crown of horns decorated my body, the moment she reached me, I had already changed into this armor in an instant, while the weapons I had summoned were controlled through the NO-Attribute spell Telekinesis, I overcharged them with my mana and elements and then fired them like explosive projectiles towards her.

CLAAAAAASSSH!

As her demonic blades hit Uller with incredible power, which made me pull back a bit, the power of my floating weapons which I had devoured before reached her, their tips hit her armor and barely scratched it though, but when they detonated, she was blown away and dumbfounded!

"W-What?!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The constant explosions began to shower her, as I abused the power of these weapons! As long as they explode, I can summon them over and over again using more mana. This made them effective explosives that could constantly fill themselves up! They were even stronger than my ice spikes or ice spears or ice blades, and as long as I overcharged them with a lot of mana, they could become amazing explosive weapons, like bombs!

Abusing this power reminded me of a certain Oni from a Spider Light Novel I once read, but with this power, I could go even further than that… I could go even further beyond that!

The explosive attacks continued to bathe the Vampiress as she began to evade them, she greeted me with an angered kick in the chest, throwing me into the ground with incredible might. Despite her slender figure, her strength stat was above Benladann's, and although it was lesser than mine, it was clear enough to throw my ice giant form into the ground, despite her body size being less than a half of mine!

However, I got her where I wanted! I opened my jaws wide as I gathered the power of the elements within my throat, and released a powerful breath attack towards her face, an explosion ensued as many colors unleashed like shockwaves of elemental essence everywhere!

BOOOOOMMM!!!

"UAGGH…! Y-Youuu! Youuuu!" she roared angrily, as she stepped forward at an incredible speed and began to overwhelm me with her blows, her blade continued to clash against mine and my armor, as my magic danced around her coupled with my explosive weapon barrage, which filled the entire vast palace with explosions.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

She began to learn my patterns and evade in time this time, sometimes she even used her magic to push the weapons at me, making them explode over my own body, and of course, they were very effective, blasting into pieces my compound armor, which I quickly regenerated right away, but these single seconds was what she needed to strike hard with her strength.

Her spectral soul emerged and shaped into massive phantasmal claws of crimson-red colors, blasting my entire body continuously, the amazing damage they dealt was baffling to me, but I resisted them bravely and used the power of my own soul, infusing it with my elements, the battle of souls resembled a constant battle between Stands from Jojo's, which was completely insane.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

I wielded Uller as I slashed against her, three weapons reached her back right away, exploding behind her as she retreated from my deadly blade, pulling her back to me as she parried my attack with her two weapons, which released, out of nowhere, two laughing black specters that began to laugh and devour my mana gluttonously!

"Hahaha! Feed them more of your mana!" she laughed, as I used my legs to kick the woman's crotch, making her agonize!

"GRYYAAAAGGGH…!" she cried in anger and pain; her lower lips were also pained.

"H-How dare you to do that to a woman!" she cried in utter wrath, rushing at me with even more anger as I used my claws to punch her chest, blowing her off into the ceiling!

BOOOM!!!
