Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

"When did you become a vampire?"

"On the day of the finals of the graduation tournament".

"How did you become a vampire?"

"After I was pursued by the assassins deep inside the forest, I coincidentally fell inside an underground basement where I had a fortuitous encounter".

"I don't know what happened next, I just knew that I came out as a vampire".

"We already thoroughly searched every area around the location that you indicated but we found no traces of an underground basement, do you know where it might have gone?"

"No".

"Did you have previous encounters with the underground basement?"

"No".

"Ok, what is your relationship with Scorpion, the Sting Assassin?"

"No".

"Um, what do you mean no?"

"I don't know him, that was my first time meeting him".

"What of the youth in a black hood, do you have any recollection of him?"

"No".

Rex continued giving mechanical answers as he was questioned for over an hour before the session finally came to an end.

"Ok, we got all we need, you can leave".

Rex was stunned as he stood up to leave.

Due to some reason, he expected the Principal to blame him for the beast invasion and all the lives that were lost but surprisingly, they never mentioned it.

Rex didn't know what to feel after that. For some reason, he felt worse that it was never mentioned, he wanted to be blamed, he wanted to be punished.

By the time he left the Obedin Mystic Academy, it was still 10:00 am. Instead of going back to meet his friends at the hospital, Rex instead decided to go alone to see the aftermath of what he caused.

Without informing anyone, he returned to Bowling Town.

On returning, Rex tried hard to hold back his emotions and it worked as he looked on at the aftermath of everything with a nonchalant look on his face.

The once glorious, boisterous, and ever-happy Bowling Town was now nothing more than a town filled with rubble, dust, and ruin.

As Rex walked around the town, memories flashed in his head as he had visions of the little kids who always ran joyfully around the lobby playing to their heart's content without a care in the world.

He could almost see the smiling face of the elders as they watched the children play while occasionally cautioning them not to go overboard.

On walking a few meters forward, he came before the ruined restaurant of the ice cream man which was a hot spot in the town for both adults and children.

Rex knew Bowling Town like he knew his swordsmanship, every single spot in the town was still vivid to him and he visited them all without fail.

Each place that he visited sent a sharp pang of pain through his new implanted heart, he now had a new heart but he experienced the same pain that his old heart felt when he discovered the truth.

Rex hoped to at least see one place that was left untouched and intact after the rampage but he was disappointed, there was none.

Bowling Town was gone and gone for good.

After walking around the whole town, Rex could no longer hold it in as he collapsed on his knees and wept his heart out.

He wanted to be a man but he could not this time, he wept.

After weeping to his heart's content, Rex unsheathed Berserker from its scabbard as he looked at his living sword which was his only companion at the moment. Rex forced a smile but it was still sad.

"Shing?"

"…" Rex did not reply.

"Shing!" "Shing!" "Shing!"

"Berserker, you won't understand, you're not human Afterall".

"Shing!!!"

Rex laughed. "I think I understand who I really am now".

"I was never meant to live among people, my fate became different from others the day that I made it to my 18th birthday".

"I'm the last warrior of the Ancient Vector bloodline".

"I carry a huge burden of revenge on my shoulders".

"It's either I give it my all and get revenge or they'll find me and kill me like what happened, there's no turning back or escaping this fate for me".

"Perhaps, I was never meant to have friends".

"Ben and Cassandra survived this time, but who says they won't die like the thousands of others who died just because of me next time?"

"Hehe, I understand, I think I understand now".

As he laughed like a maniac, Rex grabbed his sword tighter.

"System, give me my status".

Rex smiled on seeing his new system status.

Arthur Holmes bringing his entourage to assassinate the last descent of the Ancient Vector family put him in a lot of danger, but in the mystic warrior trade, risks and danger came alongside benefits.

After awakening his 2nd mystic ability, Rex got 50 mystic energy limits and he got an additional 50 after completing a system mission.

This already did a lot to push him close to the boundary of the intermediate realm. After all the harrowing encounters in the Spider Swamp, and the subsequent assassination attempt by Arthur, Rex was pushed to the limit and the dam broke.

Now, Rex was an intermediate mystic warrior.

In the mystic world, it was common knowledge that the intermediate level was the basic required level for a mystic warrior to barely travel the world.

After achieving this level, Rex finally made his decision.

"It is time to leave and truly face my fate".
