Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

1 week later…

It took Rex only a week to truly understand the dangers of the wild.

During the past 1 week, he was able to learn that a lot of truths were withheld from them in the Obedin Mystic Academy. Truths about how really dangerous the outside world was and the real dominance of mystic beasts.

At this present age, humanity was still on the losing side of the great war between man and beast as they remained holed up in their shelters.

The 9 Great Shelters and the 21 small shelters only covered a small fraction of the earth, the remaining bigger fraction was dominated by mystic beasts.

Rex wondered what was preventing the mythical mystic beasts from launching a raid to wipe out humanity for good.

In this one week, Rex finally understood why despite the technological advancements of humanity, they rarely used them against the mystic beasts.

The reason was that no matter how researchers and scientists developed, they could never invent technologies that could overthrow the use of mystic energy. Mystic energy was the superior and invaluable force.

Only legendary mystic warriors could stand against mythical mystic beasts, no weapon could stand against any of these powerhouses and survive.

Outside the shelters, technological devices became more of a liability than an asset as mystic warriors could simulate most effects of the devices through their mystic abilities.

Technology was only useful for the beginning levels of the mystic world and most could serve as support for the higher levels.

Unless a revolutionary technology ever broke out in the future, this trend was not going to change and was why mystic warriors still used cold weapons.

Apart from the mystic beasts, humanity still had other powerful enemies in the form of themselves. In this one week, Rex learned this important lesson also.

As was already demonstrated during his stay in Obedin City, the marauding tribes were a tumor that if not eradicated would keep on eating humanity from the inside. Marauding tribes were all over the world.

Apart from the marauders, there were assassins who were ready to kill anyone for the money and a lot of other human scum out there.

Rex learned an important lesson which he held as a creed- In the bigger picture, mystic beasts were the ones who really threatened humanity's survival, but in smaller terms, the greatest enemies of humans were humans themselves.

1 week was not enough for Rex to leave the King Resistance Shelter, but he never stopped to rest at a single location for extended periods as he kept on moving to avoid any chances of being discovered by any search party.

He traveled more through the thick forests than through cities or towns.

During the 1 week, Rex encountered more mystic beasts of different species than he ever saw during his time in Obedin City.

He avoided meeting other humans, but he killed beasts with gusto.

Rex continued this for 2 more weeks until he finally got to the boundary of the King Resistance Shelter. Leaving a shelter meant leaving human territory, Rex was finally about to enter the wild.

Before taking this pivotal step in his journey, Rex decided to find a cave where he intended to spend one night to truly consolidate all his gains.

Once Rex settled down inside the cave, he accessed his system.

[Skill Points: 1,205.]

[Free Stat Points: 150.]

[Constitution Points: 65.]

[K.R.S Credits: 7,500.]

This was all his savings and accumulations for 2 months in Obedin City.

Having savings was nice and all that, but what mattered was spending them on yourself. Before leaving for the wild, Rex intended to spend all his savings to make himself as strong as possible.

p Originally, Rex would have decided to buy new skills or upgrade his current ones with his 1000+ skill points but this time, he was attracted by something else.

After getting the inheritance of the Vector family and becoming a Vampire, Rex got the Blood Tome as an heirloom and this mystic book had been fantastic.

The Blood Tome did not just have powerful mystic effects, it came with tokens in the form of the Coffin of the Ancients and the Death Daggers and lastly, it came with martial techniques that Rex had not accessed till now.

Rex did not access the martial techniques previously because the Tome was locked, and then he didn't have the time to access them after unlocking the tome.

Now, he could finally give them the time that they deserved.

[Blood Tome Martial Techniques: Touch of Death; Ancient Legendary Sword Style- Death!]

[Touch of Death- 1000 Skill Points to learn!]

[This is a legendary martial technique that was envisioned and created by the first Ancestor, Orion Vector, and was perfected by legendary tiajutsu Ancestor and Vampire, Grog Vector!]

[When mastered, by sacrificing your blood, you can create an attack that can deal 100 - 1000% single touch damage.]

…

[Ancient Legendary Sword Style- Death!]- (1500 Skill Points to learn!)

[This is a legendary sword technique that was created by the Death Ancestor, Kayla Vector who fully mastered death and the rebirth ability of the upgrade.]

[NOTE: Only swordsmen that are truly devoted to the way of the sword can learn this legendary sword technique!]

…

On seeing both martial techniques, Rex briefly had a dilemma. The first was a martial technique that was more or less an attacking skill, while the 2nd one was a martial technique that was just like his Aurora Swordplay.

Having a powerful attacking skill like the Touch of Death was awesome, but so was having a new sword technique that could probably make his swordsmanship develop faster and could effectively raise his strength by a lot.

Both had pros and cons but Rex arrived at his decision after very little thinking. After all, he didn't have the required skill points to get the sword technique so he just went for the Touch of Death that he could afford now.

[Your choice has been registered- 1000 Skill Points have been deducted!]

[You have learned Martial Technique: Touch of Death!]

Instantly, Rex felt like new knowledge was being forcefully injected into his brain as he experienced some discomfort. This did not last though as it soon ended, Rex was fascinated as it was like he already mastered the martial technique.

Through a bit of system magic, he possibly skipped years of learning in just a few seconds as he mastered this martial technique.

The only requirement on his part was to use it in battle to get used to it.

Once Rex learned the martial technique, his skill points reduced to 205 again so he deviated to his free stat points. The lowest requirement to upgrade his constitution was 100 constitution points so he could only leave it for now.

Having thought about it before now, Rex easily allocated his stat points.

[70 Stat Points have been added to Vitality!]

[80 Stat Points have been added to Strength!]

------------

Strength: 300

Speed: 300

Mind: 80

Vitality: 450

Agility: 312

Dexterity: 308

Health Points [HP]: 850/850

Mystic Energy Points [MEP]: 610/610

----------

By adding 80 points to his strength stat, Rex made it catch up with his other stats and for his vitality which was his trump card as a vampire, Rex increased it more. In his opinion, 1 great attribute was better than 5 good attributes.

After this little shuffling and spending, Rex felt satisfied. The only currency in his system that he had not spent now was the K.R.S Credits.

He was about to leave the King Resistance Shelter and once he left, K.R.S Credits would become useless to him, it was wise to spend them all now.

Rex made a list of most things that he needed. He needed a pair of mystic boots, a pair of mystic gloves, basic seasoning to survive from eating meat in the wild, a basic map of his destination, and most especially a stockpile of blood bags.

Rex left the cave and located the nearest town as he splurged all his money to get everything that he needed. A few hours later, he returned to his cave.

As soon as Rex entered the cave, he heard a voice.

"You finally returned?"

Rex was alarmed.
