Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

13 First Battle Against A Mystic Beast!

"Ugh!"

Rex groaned, coughing blood as the mighty charge of the mystic beast hit him, causing his chest to cave in like he was just hit by a mighty hammer as he flew away like a ball that was just kicked by a pro footballer.

The wind pressure as he flew away was so strong that it ripped at his clothes, battering his ears as he felt like his eardrums just burst again.

In mere milliseconds, Rex was flung at the nearest rubber tree.

Bam!

Unprotected and disoriented, Rex hit the massive tree with his bareback as a flood of pain immediately battered his consciousness.

His backbone did not snap immediately on impact, but the shock of the impact alone rippled through Rex's body as he felt like he was being ravaged internally by a group of mutated mystic parasites.

"Ugh!"

Rex coughed blood again as he finally collapsed on the ground.

Grunt!

He could still hear the extremely deep snorting of the pig, but Rex could not focus at the moment as the pain tore at his remaining consciousness, leaving him in a state where he felt half-asleep.

The grunting sounds of the enormous mystic pig soon faded into static to him, his vision also turning dizzy as the impact of the mystic beast's charge finally settled in, dealing its real damage.

While all the pain hit hard at him, Rex was still conscious enough to know that he was in extreme danger against a mystic beast.

Despite knowing this, he could not bring himself to shrug off the pain and dizziness and stand up, it was like he was hit by a petrify spell as his brain became completely taken over by the scene that happened a few seconds ago.

The bloody battlefield that suddenly appeared in his vision, Rex was pretty sure that he had never been to this place throughout his life. He didn't know why it appeared; he didn't know what its motive was either.

Despite not even knowing that such a place existed before, what horrified Rex was the sense of familiarity that overcame him once the battlefield appeared.

It was like, he had been there before whereas he had not.

It was like, he had a hand in the death of all the corpses that lay on the bloody battlefield which was extremely strange to him.

"REX!"

Before he could be drowned by his thoughts that kept on straying in this direction without his consent, Ben's yell was what saved him again.

When Rex finally concentrated though, the situation was already critical.

Ben did not know exactly what happened, but on seeing what happened to his friend, he did not think too deeply, he was only concerned about the fact that Rex's safety was now in his hands.

After its successful charge that almost resulted in the death of the young human, the enormous mystic Pig let out a victorious snort before getting ready to go complete the job but Ben intercepted it.

Though he had only fought against mystic beasts through the virtual domain in his academy, Ben did not exhibit a lot of fear at this moment against this mystic beast as all that was on his mind was protecting his friend.

Pushed by the situation and the burning need to protect his friend, Ben was able to channel his mystic energy more than ever before.

With his increased speed, he circled the beast, sending rapid attacks toward its weak points as he tried to wear down its defense but mystic beasts were called superior for a reason.

Mystic beasts were not only stronger, but they were also intelligent.

The intelligent beast easily figured out Ben's movement pattern and with one ruthless charge, it rammed into the human the same way that it did to the other.

Perhaps, it was because as a wielder of a wind mystic ability, his defense was weaker but Ben suffered more from the charge of the huge mystic beast.

While coughing blood, he fell down as a bloody hole was now in his stomach. Through some mysterious means, the enormous pig succeeded in creating a temporary horn in its head through which it punctured the human.

With this, Ben was incapacitated. He could only groan while gasping for air as the pain left him feeling suffocated.

In just a few moves, the mystic beast succeeded in incapacitating the 2 humans. This was how powerful mystic beasts were.

Experience already taught mystic warriors that mystic beasts of the same realm were stronger than mystic warriors, the only thing that could tip this scale was if mystic warriors wielded exceptional mystic treasures.

With Ben unable to move anymore, only gasping for air helplessly, the massive pig grunted victoriously as it got prepared to finish what it started.

This happened to coincide with when Rex finally regained consciousness.

Seeing the situation that his friend was in, Rex's eyes widened as his emotions alternated between fear, and shock, before settling into rage.

Among the 3 friends, Ben was the oldest but Rex always saw himself as the leader and protector. Seeing his friend about to suffer, even possibly die for something that started with him, Rex exploded with rage.

His strong emotions evoked adrenaline in his body as he suddenly felt like fire was burning through his body and bones.

"Leave him alone!"

Filled with adrenaline, Rex ignored his pain, picked himself up, and exploded forward with speed in the direction where his sword fell.

The pig ignored him, already charging toward Ben to finish the job.

Time seemed to freeze as Rex charged toward his basic alloy sword while the mystic beast charged toward Ben. Any small mistake and a life would be gone, the stakes in this sprint were extremely high.

In the end, Rex got to his sword first.

As soon as he picked up his sword, he turned and scanned his surroundings with his eyes that suddenly turned a bloody red color without him knowing.

Things that felt elusive to him before were now as clear as day, it was like he was seeing the world from a 3D quality perspective before but finally upgraded to an HD quality perspective.

Instantly after he looked, he discovered that under the ground, a few inches ahead of where the pig was charging towards was a rubber tree trunk that due to some reason was stretched tight, making it elastic.

His brain worked faster than a computer and he easily deduced that if he timed his actions well, this could become his weapon.

Whoosh!

Rex stomped hard on the ground, manipulating and channeling his mystic energy in the process as he threw his sword with all his might.

Bam!

The sword arrived immediately and dug into the ground.

The pig was confused at first but it continued its charge, it understood just a couple of milliseconds later as the powerful tree trunk sprang up like an elastic rod, hitting it with massive force and throwing it off its course.

Grunt!

Once it fell, the mystic beast grunted angrily as it righted itself again angrily to face the daring human. To its surprise though, Rex who kept on sprinting forward after it was hit was now before it.

"Die, pig!"

Rex slashed down with all his might as the sword that was covered with white golden energy tore down towards the mystic beast.

The pig's eyes shone; it did not cower from the challenge.

Dark brown energy enveloped the pig's body for a short moment, then the ground quaked briefly like an earthquake was imminent as the rocks in the ground sprang up, forming an earthen armor around it.

Clang!

Rex's sword cut down and hit the stone, then the sword shattered!

The intelligent beast took advantage of their close proximity and charged at Rex again. But this time, not burdened with any bloody battlefield suddenly appearing, Rex's astonishing body control came to the rescue.

His sword already shattered, but he still had his body and like the wind, Rex moved to the side, narrowly evading the mystic beast's deadly charge.

Grunt!

Once the pig stopped, it turned and glared at the human straight in the eye, then it started kicking, preparing for an ultimate charge.

Looking at the beast, Rex felt frustrated as he seemed to be out of options already, but he was able to think of something. His eyes lit up immediately.

"Berserker, help me out!"

"Shing!"
