Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

A planetary teleportation portal was unlike anything Rex had seen before.

With his Blood Tome, he had access to teleportation abilities but not even the myth grade tome's mystic effects could compare to what he was experiencing at the moment. Rex observed in awe as he traveled at light speeds.

Teleportation portals were supposed to be instantaneous, but perhaps, due to the great distance of his destination or other interference, it was not instantaneous as Rex got to see the raw universe.

When his eyes opened, he saw himself enveloped by a phasing blue film that seemed to protect him from the destructive powers of the universe. Enveloped in this blue film, he streaked across the cosmos like a comet.

For a few seconds, Rex exclaimed in awe as he saw the giant planets far away in the distance. At this moment, he was traveling through space.

The speed of the teleportation portal was so fast that everything was a blur to him, he could barely make out the planets as they passed.

Despite the slight inconvenience caused by the travel, Rex did not complain, rather he saw this as a memorable moment as he got to see the cosmos for the first time and he had to admit that it was a beautiful sight.

After the age of awakening, as technology increased, humanity also started exploring more about the stars but after the establishment of the shelters, any information about the stars became confidential information.

For the first time, Rex saw the world outside earth.

Rex kept on admiring what he saw as he was transported away but this did not last forever. Like everything, his happy moment soon came to an abrupt end.

Bzzz!

The first sound that Rex heard was the sound of something being torn, which was quickly followed by the sound of space being separated in twain.

It happened so fast that he had no time to react.

Before he understood what was going on, he saw the blade edge of a massive sword cutting the void apart. And out of the void came the owner of the sword, an old man with such a strong sword aura that completely petrified Rex.

Over the course of 1 year since he became a mystic warrior, this was the first time that Rex was so outmatched and suppressed by just the aura of a mystic swordsman.

Without a doubt, this old man was a Sword Saint!

"A Sword Saint?!" Rex's eyes widened in horror as the realization of his conclusion settled in, a Sword Saint was after him!

Due to the speed at which he traveled, he was unable to speak as the old man in white robes matched the speed and came close to the blue film that surrounded him. Before the old man could touch him though, someone interfered.

In this desperate moment, Lord Asuka appeared and at this moment, this old warrior no longer had that all-knowing and dignified look on his face.

His face was filled with hatred, vengeance, and determination.

"Hahaha!" Lord Asuka laughed like a maniac. "My soul can indeed finally rest at peace knowing that my last achievement was stopping you!"

"How dare you…?"

Before the old Sword Saint's powerful voice could complete its sentence, Lord Asuka's puppet body became covered with an extremely powerful armor.

The puppet that he created for his body was a myth grade puppet.

Without hesitation, Lord Asuka engaged the Sword Saint in battle. The blue film flickered a lot but Rex was unharmed as he continued his journey.

While he continued his journey, he became the spectator of this mighty battle in space as the shockwaves constantly rocked the blue film that protected him. His heart was always on his throat as the battle raged.

The battle was fierce but it was one-sided, the old Sword Saint completely thrashed Lord Asuka. The Lord only survived because of the special armor.

Despite the defense of the special armor though, it was not omnipotent. The massive sword of the Sword Saint finally cut all the way through the armor.

Lord Asuka stood no chance, once the puppet was destroyed, he died.

"For the Sword Saint Minato!" Lord Asuka yelled as he died.

After killing him, the old Sword Saint finally tried to cut the blue film in 2 but it was too late. As soon as it detected the red planet ahead, the blue film became like a warrior on steroids as it rapidly accelerated towards the planet.

The old Sword Saint went in pursuit but he was not fast enough. Disappointed, he could only watch as the blue film entered the planet atmosphere.

The old Sword Saint could only look at this red planet from afar, he dared not enter inside it, his danger senses tingled at the mere sight of it.

"What a pity…, sigh". He sighed before turning and leaving.

…

Whoosh!

Rex was dumped in Planet Tioron in the air.

He barely had time to observe his surroundings as the strong gravity of this planet pulled him to the surface. Despite trying his best, he was not able to change his fall direction as he was currently falling straight into a forest.

The next moment, he finally hit the tallest trees as the sounds of twigs and branches snapping reverberated through the hall.

After a pretty eventful fall, Rex finally landed on the floor with a mighty thud. His eyes rolled back from the impact, things were worse than he previously thought, he f*cking landed in where there was a rock.

He coughed blood as the sensation of a few of his bones snapping made him groan in pain. Despite his injuries, he was still alive and that was what mattered.

For like the next 30 minutes, Rex laid on the floor as he recovered from the impact of the fall. He didn't die only because of his special constitution.

After these minutes, his vampire bloodline worked its wonders again and he fully recovered. After his recent constitution upgrade, his vitality and recovery abilities increased again to an even more ridiculous extent.

After fully recovering from the injuries caused by the fall, this was when he finally stood up to observe his surroundings.

The first thing that attracted him about this planet was the red background. The natural air was red in color, testament of the blood phenomenon that Lord Asuka explained to him a few minutes ago.

Talking of Lord Asuka, Rex finally recalled the great battle. As he remembered the Lord's sacrifice, his eyes moistened.

"I can't believe that he's dead already".

Despite how much he wanted to believe that this was all in his head, having seen it vividly with his eyes, Rex knew that this was no dream, it was real.

Lord Asuka was dead and he had to accept that fact.

Also, he already knew the identity of the old Sword Saint. For someone with such frightening understanding of the sword, and who could kill Lord Asuka so effortlessly, Rex guessed no one else but the legendary Miyamoto Musashi.

Lord Asuka did the impossible by fighting him for so long without dying.

Rex was heartbroken at the death of this mystic warrior. Lord Asuka was literally the first mystic warrior that he really got close to who died.

His father died when he was still a powerless kid, but this time, he was already a mystic warrior yet he was still powerless as someone he was close to died.

Rex clenched his fists tight, he hated this feeling, this feeling of helplessness and powerlessness as something you loved slipped away from your fingertips.

Originally, he only wanted to fulfill Sword Saint Minato and Lord Asuka's mission because of the benefits that he got from the inheritance ground but after this, he got another more legitimate reason to fulfill this mission.

"I must avenge my friend!"

Lord Asuka may be old enough to be his great grandfather, but all that didn't matter since in their few times together, they were akin to close friends.

Once he gained this determination to succeed, Rex instantly started laying down his plans. He had only 5 days to complete the mission.

Rex soon laid down 2 objectives that he must accomplish for his 1st day here. The first objective was to find a save haven to hide, this planet was not simple, he dreaded the thought of facing the beasts that adapted to survive here.

His 2nd objective was to locate the home of the Blood Spartan Tribe. If he was to become their leader, he first needed to meet them.

Once Rex laid his objectives down, he did not waste any time as he quickly went at them with gusto. As he went deeper into the planet that was saturated with a bloody mist, he soon discovered some interesting facts.

One of these interesting facts was that he could use his mystic energy here and for some reason, it was even more potent and concentrated than on earth.

"I wonder how the beasts here look like?"

Rex barely spoke before he heard a deep growl from behind him, he paused.
