Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Whoosh!

The student\'s timing was perfect, his aim was extremely accurate, while his bluff seemed to have worked as he launched his sneak attack successfully on his teammate, but was Rex really fooled?

Having seen Rex\'s performance in the 1 on 1 elimination phase of the tournament, this student knew of his partially unlocked sword domain which was why he avoided the range that was visible to Rex through his sword domain.

In battle, knowing your opponent was already a step toward victory, this was what this student believed when he implemented his plan.

This student accounted for everything, including the fact that Rex may suspect his motive but he still theorized that his attack would hit its mark.

What he never accounted for was Berserker, a living sword.

When Rex suddenly saw a student in the wild here, a teammate for that manner, he was ecstatic at first since his memories were still a bit scrambled from all the teleportation stuff.

It was when he turned around that he finally knew that something was wrong, and this was all due to remembering the last words of Mr. Minamito.

Instantly, he made his move.

Due to all the time that he had spent with his living sword, Rex was already discovering more abilities that Berserker had.

Apart from the sword world for training and Berserker\'s basic mystic weapon effect, Berserker also had another ability that Rex discovered recently which he called the living eye.

Unlike most other swords on the current earth, Berserker was a living sword. This was not just a title; Berserker actually had some living characteristics.

One of the basic characteristics of a developed living organism was sight, Berserker could see through the blades of the sword.

This was the reason why after Rex\'s brain recovered enough to enable him to remember the last words of Mr. Minamito, he was alarmed. He was alarmed but he reacted immediately enough to not startle his fellow student.

He turned, leaving his back bare and unprotected against him while not sheathing his sword back in its scabbard. This way, Berserker became his eyes that he used to watch the student that claimed to be his comrade.

Rex only had to look for a second to know the thoughts running through the student\'s mind, the sinister look in his eyes could not be mistaken, this was why he was able to react fast enough to the ambush.

Whoosh!

Instantly after the Kunai knife was thrown, Rex reacted.

By sidestepping, he was able to completely dodge the impeccable throw of the knife since he already anticipated it.

This fast maneuver granted him the initiative, and he had no intentions of squandering it as he turned and went on the offensive.

There was still some distance between them, and Rex could not cover it instantly but he was not out of options, he had an alternative.

Rex slashed forward with his sword while simultaneously channeling his mystic energy mid-sprint as a sword energy materialized around the sword.

The sword energy shot towards the student with speed.

Everything that happened from the throwing of the kunai knife was still counting in seconds, but this was enough time for the student to know that he f*cked up as he packed his load intending to escape.

On seeing the sword energy that was flying towards him though, he knew that his escape path was already cut off so he could only stand his ground.

He was not a coward who only knew how to sneak attack and run.

Timber Manak decided to ambush Rex to get the initiative, not because he was a coward, but because he was a rare Telekinesis ability user, Telekinesis was a mystic ability that fell into the category of the special mystic abilities.

Timber was not just a wielder of the rare Telekinesis ability, but he was also a student of the weapons specialist department.

The weapons specialist department of the Obedin Mystic Academy was one of the more peculiar departments, its students got the ability to use a myriad of weapons in battle through different means.

Timber used his numerous weapons in battle with his telekinesis ability.

Once Timber saw that his ambush failed, and he also discovered that escaping immediately was impossible, he changed his approach.

"Telekinesis Skill: Control Domain!"

"Telekinesis Skill: Weapon Barrage!"

Whoosh!

Immediately after Timber made his move, the atmosphere seemed to freeze as everything came under the control of his powerful mystic ability.

Keeping this skill active constantly drained mystic energy from him, but he could take it as he finally made his next move.

Unlike Rex who only came with his sword to the forest, he had 2 bags attached to his back, and in these 2 bags was his equipment.

Timber rolled on the bare forest ground to the side, barely dodging the sword energy that was released by Rex as he finally counterattacked.

He threw his 2 bags at his opponent and from the bag came a plethora of weapons. Kunai knives, Shurikens, a smoke bomb, and a pair of metallic discs with a sharp edge that could literally cut through anything.

Poof!

While the smoke bomb detonated, filling the atmosphere with smoke, Timber channeled his mystic energy more as he finally took control over all the flying weapons with his telekinesis ability.

At this moment, Rex was still sprinting towards him rapidly. This left Timber with only a little time frame to make his move and make it worth it.

Taking control over so many weapons with his ability was taxing, but once Timber finally did it, he entered his domain!

While retreating, he wreaked havoc with his numerous weapons.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Instantly, Rex who was already engulfed by the smoke was put in a tight corner as he had to parry all the attacks while being blind to the smoke.

Despite being held back slightly by the numerous attacks, Rex did not sustain a single injury and he still advanced with his sword tightly in his grasp as he slashed, cut, and hacked rapidly in different directions.

On seeing this as the smoke finally started subsiding, Timber took one last step back before pulling his main weapon that was attached to his back out.

Timber\'s main weapon was a Kusari-Gama, the ancient weapon wielded by ninjas. Having expected Rex to block all his attacks, all his maneuvers to this moment were in preparation for this, and now, he finally made his ultimate move.

Whoosh!

The scythe of the Kusari-Gama went straight for Rex\'s head with speed.

The speed of the attack was too strong as Timber gave his all to amplify it with his telekinesis ability, Rex knew that he was not fast enough to dodge it, so he simply didn\'t as he improvised on the spot.

Clang!!!

At the last moment, Rex raised Berserker to protect his head, and it worked.

As the ringing sound of 2 metals colliding rang, Rex who managed to block the scythe from barely digging into his head with his sword suddenly made a radical move that was stupid to most swordsmen as he threw his sword at his opponent.

Timber was shocked as his opponent\'s weapon suddenly flew towards him.

While the sword still flew, Rex\'s eyes glowed golden as a connection between him and Berserker formed immediately. Rex finally activated Berserker\'s basic mystic effect for the first time.

The distance was already too close, Timber could not dodge, he could only flinch and shift slightly to the side as the sword cut into his neck.

Surprisingly, his dodge worked and the cut was not fatal. To his horror though, what seemed like a golden sword energy thread was now connecting the sword to Rex and once Rex pulled, the sword followed.

Ptui!

The sword retreated, ruthlessly cutting Timber\'s neck again.

While blood was already spurting out in waves, Rex appeared before his opponent as he finally caught hold of his sword back, he stabbed at Timber\'s unprotected abdomen without hesitation.

Ptui!

This time, there was no sudden change, the sword went all the way through as Timber gasped for breath in a shocking scene.

Rex\'s sword stabbed all the way through his opponent!

Rex was horrified, the academy masters were supposed to intervene!

While blood poured out of his opponent\'s mouth, Rex\'s mind was a mess as he cursed at himself for getting lost in the moment again.

In his panic, something amazing happened.

All of a sudden, the blood flowing from Timber\'s mouth turned to water which soon spread to his whole body as he seemed to turn into a waterman. The water soon lost its form as it fell, wetting the forest floor.

On seeing this, Rex was shocked as an amazed look overcame his face.

"Is that…?"
