Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Zoom!

A huge Mystic Truck drove out of the Great Ape Forest.

Despite escaping this dangerous territory already, Aragorn still had his legs firmly on the accelerators as he pushed the mystic Truck to ride even faster.

For the past few minutes till now, all 3 of them were as quiet as a mouse as the events of the past battle played again in their minds. When they thought back to the dangerous moments of the battle, they instinctively shuddered.

Rex suddenly spoke. "Don't tell anyone about this battle, agreed?"

"Agreed!" Aragorn and Princess Elanor softly agreed.

Perhaps, having spoken once, the dam that was holding him back from talking finally burst as Rex continued. "Damn, I can't believe that freaking Ape!"

"How can 1 Advanced Mystic beast be so powerful?"

Thinking back to how they were forced to escape pitifully from the Ape despite attacking 3 on 1, Rex felt like a knife was used to slowly twist and dissect his intestines as it left an extremely bad taste in his mouth.

This was when Aragorn finally heaved a sigh of relief. "We should be grateful that we escaped in the first place, not complain". He laughed to relieve stress.

"Actually, it is not strange to encounter Advanced Mystic Beasts this strong. The higher you climb the ranks, the vaster the strength gap between not just the different ranks but between the boundaries of the same rank".

"A peak 10th tier Advanced Mystic Warrior can theoretically battle and kill 10 1st tier Advanced Mystic Warriors, the same applies to the beasts".

"The same way a 1st tier Super Mystic Warrior is rumored to be able to battle, dominate, and kill a hundred peak Intermediate Mystic Warriors".

"This may be slightly exaggerated but it clearly showed the strength gap".

"As for how many Intermediate Mystic Warriors a peak Advanced Mystic Warrior could kill, well, it depended on a lot of factors but it's pretty ridiculous".

"Despite all these though, the Ape is definitely an anomaly. I'm sure it is a pureblood beast and probably also a peak Advanced Mystic Beast".

"It was bad luck on our part to encounter it".

"Phew!" Rex sighed again. "I'm just glad we escaped".

Finding it strange that one of them was silent, Aragorn and Rex turned to face Princess Elanor and she asked a question that left them speechless.

"Who won the 2nd phase of the contest?"

"…"

"Uhh…" Rex and Aragorn exchanged quick glances before Aragorn replied with a wide smile filled with fakeness. "You won!"

Princess Elanor bit her lips. "I was supposed to win but the Ape interrupted everything, no one won, I'll definitely win next time though".

"…Uhh, ok".

Silence reigned among them after this, and before it could turn too awkward, Rex finally decided to give attention to the 2 strange faces that they rescued.

They were now the perfect anchors to escape this awkward moment.

As soon as Rex turned his head to the corner of the Truck where they were both seated, the 2 Great Shelter Dwellers gulped. They even shuddered as Aragorn and Princess Elanor finally remembered them and turned to look at them also.

Till now, Aragorn and Princess Elanor still didn't understand how they met these 2, all they heard was the both of them shouting their names for help while running and they intervened.

This was when Aragorn asked Rex. "How did you find them?"

"I found them in the forest being pursued by the Ape".

Aragorn frowned. "So how did they survive? I've seen them move, they are both just basic mystic warriors, there's no way that they'll survive a second against that Ape".

"I know that they came on a special shuttle that helped them fend off the beast, but I also don't know the full story, that's why they are here". Rex smiled and turned back to look at them.

The 2 strangers gulped again, then they exchanged glances before the male who seemed to be the female's elder brother finally gathered his courage.

"My name is Elden Max, she is Elden Stark, my younger sister, we are both descendants of the Elden Family in the Great Silver Shelter".

"My main occupation is a master Custodian of the family".

"After a long year of work, I decided to go on a vacation tour around the remaining small shelters alongside my younger sister. I didn't know of the Gundam Shelter since it is no longer part of the map but my chief guard recommended it".

"Having described it as fascinating, I agreed to come here and, on the way, I was betrayed. All the Custodians that I came with were killed".

"I and my younger sister survived only due to the sacrifice of one of the young guards who was not in support of the actions of the chief guard".

"Through the young guard, we got access to one of the Surf shuttles which we escaped in. We've been escaping for 3 days until we arrived in the forest".

"In the forest, we lost them but not after they shot our Surf shuttle with a beast Aphrodisiac. It was what attracted the menacing Ape".

"We almost died until we met you, Rex". Max said as he already got Rex's name from the conversations between the 3 friends.

"Thank you for saving us, I and my sister will forever remain indebted to you and your friends, we hope to repay this debt in any manner that you want".

After the story was over, Princess Elanor and Aragorn were silent as a lot of things went through their minds. As someone who once lived in a Great Shelter, Aragorn already recognized their origin from the first time that he saw them.

"So, what do you intend to do from here?"

"I don't know". Max hugged his sister who seemed to already be on the verge of tears again. "No matter where we run to, there's the mystic waves radar on all the other Surf shuttles, we'll be found by Gaud one way or the other".

From the look on this Custodian's eyes, Rex and the others could already understand his intentions but they did not answer instantly.

"We'll get to the shelter in 6 minutes". Aragorn spoke again. "Stay sharp, you need it to survive, the Gundam Shelter is not your regular shelter".

"We understand". Max replied in a shaky voice.

As the Monster Truck continued moving forward, a system notification arrived before Rex.

6 minutes later, the Monster Truck that was already sprayed with the emblem of the new rising Berserk Gang arrived back in the Shelter.

Like Aragorn said, he dropped them off inside the shelter before driving off to their hideout, no one said a word as all this happened.
