Chapter 185 The Dangerous Duo Of Rex The Vampire And Ben The Big-Boned
Chapter 185 The Dangerous Duo Of Rex The Vampire And Ben The Big-Boned
Rex did not know why, but the planet-grade teleportation portal seemed to have a slight glitch that made him arrive outside the inheritance ground.
This was the coincidence that enabled him to meet the battlefield.
Once he returned to earth's atmosphere, he started falling at such ridiculous velocities that he could barely see what was before him.
His free-fall speed was unnaturally fast but Rex was still perceptive enough to notice the battle raging below him.
It took every bit of his willpower and reaction speed before he was able to barely shift himself away from the path of one of his swords, his butt barely escaped the sharp edge of the sword.
"Phew!" Rex wiped his sweat as he finally fell.
Falling was not the end, the momentum of his fall was so much that like a somersaulting vehicle, he started bulldozing through the desert, sending sand dozens of meters into the sky and disrupting the battle even further.
"F*ck!"
"F*ck!"
"F*ck!" Rex cursed as he rolled on the desert causing a commotion.
On seeing the effects, the first thought that came to the 3 mystic warriors who were embroiled in battle was that this was a Sand Worm.
All 3 of them were about to turn and run for their lives before Ben heard the familiar voice that was behind the familiar curses.
All it took from Ben was looking closer before he recognized the familiar face.
Though it was already more than a year since they last met, though they both already grew a lot and were almost entirely unidentical to their previous selves, having spent years together, Ben was still able to recognize his friend.
Rex was his partner in crime, Ben could never forget this face after all the pranks, the theft, and the lizardry hunting that they both did in Obedin City.
"Rex?!"
Hearing the familiar voice calling his name that was filled with surprise, excitement, and relief, Rex jolted to life as he finally flexed his mystic energy.
Vroom!
Once Rex finally made a move, Advanced mystic energy of such potency that suffocated Ben and his 3 enemies who were equally Advanced mystic warriors was released, Rex's mystic energy felt much more potent and concentrated.
Rex supposedly only spent 5 days in Planet Tioron, but like Lord Asuka said, the Sword Saint prepared other rewards for him and it was now that he felt it.
His 5 days were equated to 50 years through the Fate Circle of the Sword Saint, and the effect of 50 years in a vampire's life were unquantifiable.
Spending 50 years in such a planet that had such concentrated mystic energy mutated his own mystic energy, making it much more potent and concentrated.
Apart from that, he enjoyed more benefits in terms of his Vampire bloodline.
Rex felt a stronger connection with his blood more than he had ever experienced before and now that he paid attention to it, without a doubt, his vampire bloodline seemed to have upgraded and was far stronger than before.
This was when his system finally lit up a notification.

In just the interval between him returning from Planet Tioron to Planet Earth, Rex received such a ridiculous upgrade that left even himself flabbergasted.
When he was told about the Fate Circle by Lord Asuka, he was ecstatic as he knew that if it worked, his bloodline powers would benefit the most.
He anticipated the changes then but after going to Planet Tioron and meeting the Blood Spartan Tribe, everything that followed made him to forget it.
Now though, he was made to remember in the best of ways.
Though in a literal sense, he still was an 18-year-old mystic warrior who had spent only 1 official year in the mystic world, in vampire terms, he was already over 50 years and was an Ancillaen Vampire already.
For the upgrade, not only did he receive other bonuses that would make him much stronger again, but he also received a special Vampire Ancillaen ability.
The Probability Hunter was a ridiculous ability that Rex ranked directly at the level of the Age Extraction ability that was created by Sword Saint Minato.
Any ability that could mess with the powers of fate was a ridiculous one.
With the Probability Hunter, for 10 minutes, he could cheat fate in his favor. Just thinking about the effects of this ability in battle sent Rex to a cloud nine of his own imaginations as he saw him vanquishing through entire armies of his enemies.
"I really f*cking benefited this time man!" Rex yelled.
"Rex, is that really you? What the f*ck are you doing here man?"
This was what finally broke Rex from the peak of ecstasy that he was experiencing at this moment as he turned to look at his friend.
Seeing Ben in the Great River of Gold, Rex experienced a great rush of emotions. He remembered his goal of leaving Obedin City to get stronger so that he could protect those that were close to him, and Ben was among them.
What Rex didn't expect was that even as he grew, his friends that he wanted to protect also grew. Ben was an Advanced mystic warrior now!
Both friends stared at each other as memories swirled in their heads. "I can't believe I'm seeing you again so soon, you've grown so much man".
"You grew even more; you actually grew beards more than me already". Ben's voice was louder as he laughed. "Wait, are you still a virgin?!"
"Get lost!"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the strange reunion between the 2 friends, the 3 mystic warriors were surprised as they turned to look at each other before finally going back.
Remembering the fact that they were about to run with their tails behind their legs just a moment ago, their faces turned red in embarrassment. Their bruised ego only increased their irritation and intent to kill Ben the more.
They collectively glared at Rex. "How dare you try to scare us with a prank?"
"A prank?" Rex turned to look back at them cluelessly and asked.
As soon as he looked back at them, Rex finally noticed their hostility. He turned to face Ben, then back at the 3 warriors, then he looked around at the golden desert, this was when everything clicked back at him.
He previously wondered why Ben was here but he just remembered that Sword Saint Minato Musashi's inheritance ended just 5 days ago.
With the fact that Ben and all 3 mystic warriors were mystic swordsmen, he finally understood why all of them were here. Without a doubt, they were all contestants to benefit from the inheritance of this Sword Saint.
? Like them, being a contestant who got an inheritance token also, Rex took his time in the Gundam Shelter to research about the Sword Saint's inheritance.
He knew of the trend where after the end of the inheritance, the contestants fight against themselves to try getting all the benefits of the inheritance for themselves. Due to Lord Asuka, he avoided the first few days of this skirmish.
Now, he was back in Planet Earth and had no choice but to continue the tradition. The only thing was that, he came back much stronger than before.
Rex turned to look at Ben's injured self. "Buddy, you've tried, now it's time for you to watch, watch and witness greatness!"
"Hahaha, go for it!" Ben laughed heartily. "Destroy all the girls with cuteness, manliness, and charm, haha!"
"As or the boys, vanquish them!"
The next moment, Rex stretched his right hand towards a random direction in the desert. Angered, the 3 mystic warriors rushed at him.
Before they arrived, the sound of whistling wind reverberated and the next moment, Berserker could be seen flying rapidly from afar.
The next moment, Rex finally grabbed Berserker's hilt and a massive energy erupted with them as the center.
Berserker was now a myth grade Sword!
Boom!
Rex stabbed down with his sword and the desert gave way.
None of the 3 mystic warriors were able to last more than a second against him, against the current Rex, they were like toddlers. Rex finished them off in less than 4 seconds, then alongside Ben, they went on a rampage across the desert.
Just 2 hours later, the legend of the dangerous duo of Rex the Vampire and Ben the Big-boned spread terror in the hearts of the few swordsmen that survived.
All of them that survived without exception all went into hiding.
None of them could withstand Rex's ridiculous strength, and with a Big-boned freak like Ben to assist him, both of them were absolutely unstoppable.
After becoming the undisputed winners of this great skirmish battle, instead of leaving the desert, Rex diverted and instead led Ben back to the location of the Sword Saint's inheritance ground.
Once they got there, to Ben's shock, the ground loosened and shook as the familiar pagoda started rising out of the ground again.
Rex and Ben entered inside the Pagoda before it was buried back by the sand.
