Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman
Chapter 174 Congratulations, You Are Now A Master SwordsmanOn seeing himself on the 8th floor of the pagoda, Rex took a deep breath to control his excitement and dread as this confirmed that the journey was not over yet. He was finally entering the hard parts of the pagoda test.
Originally, he did not expect himself to be able to access the levels that corresponded to the ultimate sword domain level.
All these were privileges of him being the main inheritor.
From the first 2 stages of the sword domain and mystic sword domain, he already benefited a lot from the inheritance, he was even more hyped now about the rewards that he could get if he finished all 12 levels of the pagoda.
Having slowly acclimatized himself to the ways of the Sword Saint, he knew that the tests would only be harder on him now even though he was the perfect candidate for the inheritance that he wanted.
Sword Saint Minato was a mystic warrior with such an eccentric personality that he would rather his legacy become wasted than for it to be inherited by an unworthy mystic warrior, he was a swordsman with a lot of pride.
Rex was ok with hard, he just hoped that the consequent tests were not so hard that they became impossible for him to complete since that would be disappointing.
"What will it be this time?" Rex prepared himself for the upcoming torture.
Amid his preparations, he suddenly felt a gentle breeze blowing in his nether regions. Rex shivered as a chill crawled down his spine, before he could react, the rod that seemed capable of cracking the universe hit his golden rod.
The sounds of the twin eggs shattering were audible, Rex's eyes rolled over as the pain, weakness, and trauma of this hit smashed at his brain with the momentum and force of a tsunami.
"My… Little… Brother…!" He fainted instantly.
The pain, weakness, and trauma were still there when Rex was revived. Pure horror shone in his eyes as soon as he woke up he looked around, alarmed.
Torture against his body was tolerable in his opinion, but against his little brother, this was torture of such gravity that Rex was unable to comprehend.
The vivid sensation of the rod hitting his twin eggs still haunted him.
Rex shivered. "Lord Asuka, please, I don't think I can do this, I quit!"
He barely spoke before the rod appeared again, he finally got to see the real color and appearance of the rod. This was a massive golden rod that seemed to be specially made to bonk and shatter pps and their twin eggs.
As the rod accelerated with a momentum that could shatter planets, Rex shivered as the familiar breeze started blowing into his nether regions.
He tried to move and escape but he could not. Through some unknown magic, his body was petrified and firmly held in place for the bonk.
When it finally hit, Rex saw his life and everything shatter with it.
Boom!
"F*ckkkk!!!"
After an indeterminate amount of time where he tried without any success to try quitting the pagoda test, Rex finally became resigned to his fate.
He finally started thinking of ways to overcome this obstacle, but man, it was hard. Even with inner peace, the peace could not extend to the nether regions.
The little brother was a powerful rod. Over history, this little brother was responsible for the notorious downfall of Emperors, Monarchs, and Presidents, all these were manifestations of the power and sway that it had.
Not even inner peace could completely suppress the little brother.
Rex had to devise entirely new means to try combating this torture. He went out of the normal, taking completely unconventional routes just to succeed.
After a long time of concentration, Rex learned something, the ability to use his sharp domain mystic energy here. By concentrating his mystic energy to form a sharp energy, he learned to use it to cut.
Rex's strategy became taking the lesser of 2 evils. Instead of letting the rod smash his rod and balls, he instead took the easier route of cutting his rod himself.
The pain from cutting the rod was much more bearable than the former.
It was cruel, but it was this unconventional approach that let Rex succeed. After a lot of trials and errors, he was finally able to endure through the 10 seconds in which time he had to cut his little brother approximately 14 times.
At the end of it all, Rex was like a starved orphan who already gave up on life, his face seemed to be dehydrated of all water, energy, and life.
The 2nd and 3rd torture tests were equally evil, but having overcome the torture of his little brother already, Rex was able to overcome anything else that came. All it took was time and he succeeded.
After he received his rewards and the congratulations from the pagoda which were lesser than normal, Rex moved upwards again to the patience test.
This time, there were no accidents or variations, he already mastered the technique which enabled him to last through the patience test.
After receiving his rewards, he finally climbed to the 10th level of the pagoda where he was faced again with the Samurai swordsmanship test.
As soon as the 50 Samurais appeared, Rex lost all hopes of victory. "50 Samurais with ultimate sword domain, why don't I just commit suicide then?"
He barely got to show his despair before Lord Asuka appeared again inside the pagoda. The white-bearded old man made some gestures at the pagoda and instantly, the test changed again to his favor.
The first 50 Samurais disappeared, and in their place appeared another 500 Samurais. The difference was that these ones only unlocked the mystic sword domain.
The challenge was steep but Rex heaved a sigh of relief, it was not impossible.
For insane challenge situations like this, Rex already learned through experience that he needed his brain more than he needed his swordsmanship.
Instantly, he observed the terrain where they were supposed to fight for any loopholes. Despite the impeccable design by the Sword Saint, Rex was sharp enough to see some minor loopholes that he soon jumped at.
With his incredible swordsmanship, he was able to make these originally minor loopholes have the effects of major loopholes.
By isolating himself in a way where he made it possible for only 1 Samurai to fight him at a time, he started picking them out one after the other.
Though they tried, they found no way of offsetting his advantage. The natural disadvantage of mystic energy did not apply to Rex this time, with each Samurai kill, his system worked its wonders to replenish his mystic energy.
For some strange reason, the mystic energy replenishment effect of his system still worked even in this world that was created by Saint Minato.
"Is the Saint related to my system?" Rex was confused.
Despite his minor confusion, he was able to remain focused long enough till he was able to annihilate every single Samurai that came after him.
With this, Rex achieved a great milestone as he finally unlocked another Master Level Sword Skill called Master of the Elements.
After each master-level sword skill unlocks, the requirements became higher and so also was the quality of sword skill. The Master of the Elements sword skill was a skill so powerful and unlike anything that he had seen before.
With this sword skill, Rex could make use of the power of the elements.
This was still not the end; Rex was transported to the 11th floor where he met another torture mixed with Samurai test. This time, he had to undergo torture while still facing off against 500 Samurais with mystic sword domain.
Rex spent the most time here, but he was still able to succeed but not after looking like an animal who was at its death bed already.
After the 11th floor, Rex finally got transported to the final 12th floor.
In here, Rex faced a simple test, all he needed to do to finish the 12-floored pagoda test was to defeat a single Samurai in battle.
The main difference was that this Samurai was one who already unlocked the ultimate sword domain, his sword aura alone oppressed Rex.
Rex was oppressed mentally and physically but he never lost hope of victory once. If he was able to make it this far despite the odds that were against him, he believed that he could also make it to the last step.
Rex got prepared and started the battle.
In just a few minutes, this became the fiercest battle that Rex fought. After dying more than 100 times to this warrior, Rex became attuned to Berserker unlike ever before and in a moment of epiphany, he won.
He was still far from the ultimate sword domain realm, but he took a step closer and it was the momentum of growth that enabled him to narrowly win.
With this win, Rex finally completed the pagoda test.
"Congratulations! You have completed the test of the 12-floored pagoda".
"Your willpower, endurance, soul power, mystic energy, and swordsmanship have increased, you have been rewarded with 10 fragments of a sword skill and 2 special completion rewards".
"Over the course of the pagoda test, you gained the special abilities: Sword Berserker, Age Extraction".
"Over the course of the pagoda test, you gained the Master Level Sword skills: Precision Slash, Phoenix Ash, Master of the Elements".
"Over the course of the pagoda test, you gained the myth grade mystic treasures: Vampiric Armor, Berserker".
While Rex was still light-headed from the harrowing experience, Lord Asuka appeared before him again. "Congratulations! You have become a Sword Master!"
