Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

"Remember the plan, move in fast, rescue our target and escape".

After reminding them about the overall plan, Tim did not rush to infiltrate the main base of the criminals as he laid some more ground rules to facilitate and make sure that this rescue mission was a success.

The main change that he made to this elite rescue team was dividing the Intermediate mystic warriors into 2 teams that he called rescue and support.

Tim learned the hard way through experience never to place all his balls in one basket. They had no idea what the criminals were up to, if they encountered an ambush or any other hazardous situation, they needed support.

Once Tim made the decision, he let all 6 Intermediate mystic warriors to decide on which of the 2 teams that they intended to join.

"I will be part of the support team".

"Me too".

Gilbert did not waste time as he quickly made his choice known. As the main Sniper and best long-ranged expert of the team, support was his best forte.

Once he made his decision, Aragorn followed. Just like Gilbert, he also decided to be part of the support team.

Tim turned to face the others and as they seemed to be deliberating on which team to join, Rex was surprised as he received a new system notification.

-------

[Special System Event has been triggered: Mystic Currency!]

[By joining your first faction and accepting your first faction series mission, you have triggered a hidden system event.]

[During the duration of the system event, every criminal that you kill will give you mystic currencies in the form of mystic energy limits.]

[Each basic mystic warrior kill will give mystic energy limits ranging from 3-10 depending on their basic mystic tier and their overall strength.]

[Each intermediate mystic warrior kill will give mystic energy limits ranging from 40-100 depending on their intermediate mystic tier and overall strength.]

[Remark: Let the mystic currencies rain!]

[NOTE: System Remarks are triggered randomly once special milestones are achieved or special system missions are triggered and accepted.]

----------

"…" On seeing this, Rex was completely stunned.

In his journey of the mystic world, Rex already learned that the greatest currency that he needed in the world was mystic energy limits.

Now, this limited-edition currency was now being laid bare to him to take in the easiest way possible, Rex was completely taken aback.

In his moment of speechlessness was when the other Intermediate mystic warriors who formed this elite team started choosing their sides.

"I will be part of the rescue team".

"Me too".

"Me too".

The others all decided to join the rescue team.

Once all the intermediate mystic warriors decided on their sides, all eyes turned to Rex and he finally regained focus as his eyes sparkled with energy.

Rex looked at them with a serious look now on his face. "For the past day and 9 hours, I have noticed that I have not really been pulling my weight in this elite rescue team though we were all hired by Maximo".

"Today, I have decided to make up for my lapses".

"I volunteer to lead the rescue team deep into enemy territory". Rex beat his chest with valor and emotion. "Let me be the sword that will cut our enemies apart to rescue the son of the merchant who hired us!"

"…"

Aragorn looked at him suspiciously but Rex was so focused on his acting to even notice. This system event was a god-sent opportunity to accelerate his growth, he would grab it with both his hands, his legs, and everything that he got.

Tim finally spoke. "Well, since no one has any objections, so be it!"

…

Having spent a full day and 9 hours alongside the other warriors of this elite team in Aragorn's Monster Truck, Rex already grew to understand them.

They all had differing personalities but he didn't focus on that, what he rather focused on was their strengths and weaknesses since that was the only important factor in this deep strike rescue mission.

By now, Rex already knew that Aragorn and Tim were the 2 strongest warriors in the team. Both of them were pinnacle 10th tier Intermediate warriors.

All the others in the team were at least 5th tier Intermediate mystic warriors and this placed them at the higher spectrum of intermediate mystic warriors. On paper, Rex was the weakest warrior of this elite team of warriors.

Due to Tim discussing how they would deal with Pain with them, Rex already knew about their mystic abilities which were their trump cards and also the mystic ability and strengths of their main enemy.

Pain was a powerful Intermediate mystic warrior with a shadow mystic ability, and a strange parasitic mystic ability.

These alone were enough to make him a dangerous foe, but his greatest trump card was the Super Grade weapon that he had that complemented his parasitic mystic ability. This was Pain's most lethal and valuable treasure.

Pain was strong, but Rex's companions at the moment were not weak.

Gilbert's first and main mystic ability was a mind-related mystic ability called Eagle Accuracy. This mystic ability gave him unerring accuracy with any ranged weapon, Gilbert decided to complement this by being a Sniper.

With his Sniper Rifle, Gilbert was a deadly hunter.

His 2nd mystic ability was a damage amplification mystic ability. It amplified the effects of his Sniper Rifle's shots, making them much more deadly.

Sophia was a Tiajutsu expert. Her first and main mystic ability was also a damage amplification mystic ability to complement her Tiajutsu abilities, and her 2nd mystic ability was a wind mystic ability.

Goro was also a Tiajutsu expert. He had a rare shapeshifting mystic ability as his main, and an even rarer mystic ability that could control sand and dust called Dune. He was a natural hunter in desert and barren conditions.

Cain, Pain's brother was a domain mystic warrior like Rex. He was a domain mystic spearman as his main, and his 2 mystic abilities were shadow and wind.

Tim was a powerful warrior with a fire mystic ability, that was not his main though. His main which gave him the nickname of the Lord of Earthquakes was his earth mystic ability that he was renowned and feared for.

As for Aragorn, he was the only one among the 7 who felt too lazy to expatiate on his abilities. Rex already knew of his mechanic mystic ability which he guessed was his main, what he didn't know was his 2nd mystic ability.

Despite his curiosity, he could not pester him anymore as the mission already started. The rescue and support teams quickly separated.

Once Gilbert and Aragorn positioned themselves in prime sniping positions, the remaining 5 Intermediate mystic warriors left with all 3 basic mystic warrior hackers following behind them to help in the case of any virtual security problem.

Once they moved, Goro transformed into a massive sandworm as he burrowed deep into the sand. At the same time that he did this, he conjured dust that filled everywhere, obscuring the vision of the criminals.

Through the shade of the dust, the 5 intermediate mystic warriors smoothly evaded all the hot zones of the main base till they arrived before the massive gate.

"We will enter stealthily and prevent any criminal from seeing us".

Whoosh!

Rex threw one of his Death Daggers before Tim could finish his sentence as the Dagger smoothly cut through 3 throats simultaneously.

In the blink of an eye, 3 thuds softly sounded and 3 criminals were dead.

[You have killed a Basic Mystic Warrior: Desert Cowboy Criminal!]

[You have gained 6 mystic energy points!]

[You have gained 4 mystic energy limits!]

[You have killed a Basic Mystic Warrior: Desert Cowboy Criminal!]

[You have gained 6 mystic energy points!]

[You have gained 5 mystic energy limits!]

[You have killed…]

Rex turned to face his companions with a grin on his face.

Their faces scrunched up into a frown but Tim reacted swiftly like a real leader without blaming anyone. "We already started leaving traces, so abandon stealth and aim for speed".

"Infiltrate fast and silently, kill any criminal on sight!"

"Understood!"
