Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Chapter 153 Tension!

Aragorn was still in the process of digesting his gains from his evolution to the Advanced mystic realm, while Rex was still in the process of understanding his new sword and fully mastering how to use it.

Berserker's new form provided a lot of versatility to his sword style but it also increased the skill level for Rex to make perfect use of it.

For him to be able to use the sword as fluently as before and possibly exceed his previous limits, he needed practice and Rex fully recognized this fact.

Also, Rex intended to integrate his swordsmanship with his morphing forms to fully complement his Bear-man form.

Even in his Half-bat form, Rex never really gave much attention to his swordsmanship. Against this powerful enemy though, he felt that any power-up was necessary and mastering his sword in his different forms mattered.

With 2 morphing forms now, he had more options for different battle scenarios. If the battle commenced at day, then the Bear-man form was the best but if it commenced at night, his half-bat form was the perfect vessel for it.

If he could achieve this feat of mastering his swords in his different forms before the showdown against Gaud and his plans, then his chances of survival would be much higher.

While Aragorn and Rex were busy, Princess Elanor became the only one who was free to look after the 2 Elden siblings and the Berserk Gang as a whole.

Unlike the other 2, she didn't have any major open ways to improve her strength instantly. Growth in the Advanced mystic level required patience.

After analyzing Gaud's personality and his goal, she and the others already concluded that Gaud's ultimate goal was the death of Max and Stark, so they were the main points in this showdown that was about to take place.

From his love for efficiency, they did not doubt that Gaud would ruthlessly take advantage of it if he ever found an easier opportunity to kill the Elden siblings.

This was why Rex and his 2 companions decided to never let the 2 siblings leave their sight. At least, one of them must always be present to protect them.

Now that Rex and Aragorn were temporarily undispensed, the pressure of facing this mystic warrior who could turn invisible fully rested on the Elven Princess's shoulders.

The pressure was much but she believed that she could take it, being the princess of a cursed race taught her how to work under pressure.

With Aragorn having installed motion sensors in the Berserk mansion and workshop already to detect if an invisible enemy infiltrated, a lot of the work already left her shoulders but Elanor was still at high alert.

As Max and his younger sister worked in their new office, Princess Elanor remained hidden in the shadows as she watched the both of them carefully.

Despite all her fears and her preparations, the day came to an end uneventfully as neither Gaud nor any other enemy messed with the Berserk Gang.

Having predicted the first 2 days to be the prime time for Gaud to take action already, this left Princess Elanor baffled but she did not think too deeply about it as she kept on watching the Elden siblings until they finished working for the day.

Having arranged their room to be close to Rex's in the Berserk mansion, they easily went to their rooms and Princess Elanor took advantage of this opportunity to go meet Rex who was still engrossed in his training.

Through the CCTV camera, they were able to watch the 2 siblings who relaxed after a long day of work as Princess Elanor also joined the training session.

Training against robots in your personal training chamber was an effective way to train, but as Rex already learned long ago after his finale battle against Turan, physical battles were the best ways to improve for every mystic warrior.

Once Princess Elanor came, he was ready to meet her as the both of them went at it as hard as they could while still keeping an eye on the CCTV cameras.

Learning to multitask was a must-learn skill for mystic warriors who survived without tribes or major families who had their backs.

Fighting intensely and at the same time watching the cameras was their way of training their multitasking ability.

2 hours later, Aragorn finally left his workshop and returned to the mansion in the night to meet his 2 companions who were still embroiled in their spars.

Having become an Advanced mystic warrior too, like Rex and Elanor felt some time ago, battling against another same-ranked warrior was a craving that they had since they wanted to validate their new strength.

On hearing of the news, Rex and Princess Elanor congratulated Aragorn but they also did good to initiate him into this realm proper with intense sparring sessions that left Aragorn thinking about his life.

Against these 2 genius mystic warriors, Aragorn was able to fight to a stalemate with them for a few minutes but in the end, he always lost.

They were all still just 1st tier Advanced mystic warriors but the difference in their abilities came from their different mystic abilities and other abilities. In this aspect, Rex and Princess Elanor were the superior force.

After another hour of intense sparring, the trio of mystic warriors finally stopped to rest as they started thinking of the reason for Gaud's delay.

Against this powerful enemy, there could never be too much precautions.

After thinking for a long time to no avail, they concluded that this was simply a battle of reverse psychology from Gaud's part. They did not give a damn though, they simply went at their own things while still keeping an eye on the 2 siblings.

Still in his training chamber, Rex practiced his cultivation techniques.

It was already midnight but Rex stayed up training. The phobia of the personality called Gaud did not allow him sleep.

He may not have been a mystic warrior for long, but during these few months, Rex already met mystic warriors with different mystic abilities.

Of all these different enemies, Gaud's invisibility mystic ability was undisputedly the one that caused him the most anxiety and fear.

With this mystic ability, Gaud was the perfect assassin. Even with the motion sensors, there was no guarantee that you'll know if this invisible assassin crept to your side and was about to sever your head.

Late into the night, a strange oppressive atmosphere filled the Berserk Gang. Having received orders from the higher ups for a strict night shift guard, the warriors of the gang were under pressure as they sensed that something was up.

Too much pressure could culminate into courage or fear. In this case though, it was mostly fear since the warriors were completely ignorant about this enemy.

The unknown was always the most dangerous and spooky of all.

Like most other warriors in the gang, Rex and his 2 companions did not sleep as they kept on using this opportunity to train throughout the night.

In the early morning, when they were already feeling puzzled and disappointed about Gaud's unpredictable thought pattern, they finally struck!
