Whoosh!

[You have killed a Basic Mystic Beast: Mud Python!]

[You have gained 3 mystic energy points!]

Apart from his weapons, all Rex needed for his journey was a basic set of clothes, a sack of blood bags, and a map to navigate through the wild.

By the time he finished venting in Bowling Town and went on his journey, it was already evening and this was when he arrived at the Spider Swamp.

After the beast invasion, the same way that Obedin City suffered a lot of casualties did the beasts in the forest also suffer casualties. Of course, their numbers were still pretty much ridiculous but they reduced a bit.

On arriving back at this Swamp Forest as an intermediate mystic warrior, Rex did not have to be as careful as before as he barged his way in.

With Berserker in his right hand, he killed his way into the swamp.

Only 1 target brought Rex to the swamp forest, the beta Swamp Spider that Crane awakened which later helped in their escape from the marauders.

Having fought against it just 2 weeks ago, Rex completely knew the strength of the spider. He had 2 slots for beast transformations in the coffin, but Rex intended to get only one beast from the forest.

After killing his way deep enough into the forest, Rex climbed a tree and perched, waiting for the opportune time to strike like an assassin.

In just a few hours' time, the day finally darkened. The golden glow of the sun made way for the darkness and tranquility of the night to descend.

Once night descended, a pair of bat eyes opened in the darkness.

[You have activated Special Vampire Ability: Morphing!]

[Morphing Forms available: 1.]

[You have transformed into a Half-bat!]

[You have activated skill: Steel Claws!]

[You have activated skill: Flight!]

Whoosh!

Rex flapped his bat wings to propel himself as he disappeared into the night.

In his half-bat state, Rex's stats increased again, and not only that, his heightened senses were amplified again in the night. Rex's vision and senses were even sharper than the original inhabitants of the swamp.

He flew for 3 minutes before he found his target. Like usual, the powerful beta Swamp Spider was taking a nap in a cushion made by its silky webs.

Rex did not hesitate after discovering it as he dived straight in with his steel claws ready to wreak havoc. Rex tore all the webs obstructing his way in mere seconds as he arrived before the Spider before digging his claws in.

Hiss…!!!

The massive Swamp Spider woke up with a startle but the damage was already done as Rex's high agility enabled him to dodge its furious counterattack.

Being an intermediate mystic beast, this massive Swamp Spider already grew above some of the limitations of its weaker brethren. The beta Swamp Spider was both a melee battle spider and a ranged combatant spider altogether.

Its poison was deadlier, and its mud manipulation was leagues ahead of the others as the furious Spider immediately started an attacking barrage on the intruder.

Whoosh!

The massive Spider moved through its webs like a fish in water as it repeatedly shot poison and mud attacks at the elusive enemy.

Rex did not go for the kill immediately, he rather toyed with the massive beast as he was focused on testing the new extents of his strength.

Even while he was toying around, he still firmly held the initiative in this battle. Rex observed to his fill after 2 minutes and he finally stepped the battle up.

Shing!

Once Berserker was unsheathed, the fate of the Spider was sealed.

The sounds of the wind moving were the only thing that the Spider heard as Rex started flying around it erratically like an annoying bug. The only difference was that this specific bug was not just annoying, but it was dangerous.

Under Rex's control, Berserker cut dozens of injuries across the Swamp Spider's body as it kept on hissing in pain and fear.

5 minutes later, the massive Swamp Spider fell as it could no longer support itself through its webs, its body was filled with its green slimy blood.

Once the Swamp Spider fell, Rex descended as he finally brought out the Coffin of the Ancients. It took some effort on his part, but he managed to carry the massive Spider inside as the coffin expanded to swallow it.

Once he closed the coffin's lid, he poured his mystic energy in through the tiny holes that surrounded the lid as a mysterious process started.

[500 mystic energy points have been deducted!]

[Beast Transformation process has started!]

[Wait for 15 minutes…]

15 minutes later, the coffin expanded as the lid opened on its own only to allow a Swamp Spider to climb out which looked no different from the one that entered. The Spider turned before bending its legs to bow before its new master.

Rex's luck seemed to shine this time, though the percentage of success was only 20%, he was able to complete it in one go.

[Congratulations! You have created your first transformed beast!]

[You have acquired a pure bloodline beast: Dark Mist Spider!]

[Do you want to give your first transformed beast a name?]

"Yes". Rex answered as he turned to look at the massive Spider who was looking back at him with its grey misty eyes. "I'll call you Grey".

-----------

After seeing the stats and abilities of his transformed beast, Rex was impressed. Grey came out as a far stronger version than his Swamp Spider self.

In some stat aspects like strength, Grey was even stronger than him unless he morphed into his half-bat form where his stats experience a ridiculous increase.

Overall, Rex was satisfied with his new companion's strength.

To truly test Grey's strength, the only old proven method was through battle. At this moment, they were in the Spider Swamp, and what better location to try out his new companion's strength than here?

Rex and his transformed beast soon started a rampage across the swamp.

They both killed hundreds of basic mystic beasts and 4 intermediate mystic beasts until their rampage finally awakened one of the alpha Swamp Spiders.

Without hesitation, they escaped but Rex was more than satisfied since he got his first 3 mystic stones out of this massacre in the swamp.

Unlike basic mystic beasts, having absorbed more mystic energy from the atmosphere, intermediate mystic beasts develop mystic cores on their bodies.

When killed, their mystic cores become mystic stones that can be picked and used by mystic warriors for different benefits.

The most important use of mystic stones was the ability that it granted mystic warriors to have a higher efficiency of training their mystic energy with it.

Rex got his first 3 ever mystic stones.
