Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Chapter 187 Baby Vamp, Come Out To Meet Daddy!

The new Vampiric Armor sent Rex to a cloud nine level of euphoria.

For a long time, though he always had an advantage over the common mystic warriors that he had to go up against, most of his enemies were such powerful warriors that they had access to much more powerful mystic treasures.

Though after becoming a vampire, through his family's inheritance, he inherited mystic treasures that all had myth grade potential, he could not use them to their full potential yet unless he upgraded them.

For a long time, the Affection Necklace and the Coffin of the Ancients were his only mystic treasures that were of the myth level.

Though this was already pretty ridiculous for an Advanced mystic warrior, considering the caliber of enemies that he had, it was still nowhere enough.

Now though, the same thing could no longer be said.

He now had 4 myth level mystic treasures, and 2 of them were the most important mystic treasures that a mystic warrior needed, a weapon and an armor.

With these 4, he finally became an all-rounded mystic warrior.

With the new Berserker, he could finally fight at his full potential always. With the Coffin of the Ancient, he had reliable and extremely powerful helpers in the form of Ambition, Gray, and Storm.

As for the last 2, they both catered for his defense. With the Affection Necklace and the Vampiric Armor, his defense would no longer be weaker than his enemies like he experienced when fighting against Gaud.

As Rex thought of all the new possibilities that his new Vampiric Armor brought after looking at his system's status, he was hyped to look at the other.

"System, show me Berserker's new status!"

Just like with the Vampiric Armor, Rex was left amazed after looking at Berserker's newly provided system status.

Not only did Berserker experience a ridiculous upgrade in its durability and attacking prowess, literally making it unbreakable in battle, all of Berserker's 2 previous mystic abilities were upgraded and a 3rd was unlocked.

The 3rd unlocked mystic ability perfectly complimented the current mechanical form of the sword, and though he had not made use of it in battle yet, Rex could already imagine how OP he would be using this new mystic ability.

As for the special skills that he already unlocked before, though the upgrade did not increase their effects, it still affected them in subtle ways.

For example, his replication level increased to medium and the number of sword replications that his sword could do now increased to 32.

Rex was not just shocked; he was awed by Berserker's new prowess.

Holding this living sword in his hand now, he felt like he was holding a legendary sword that was created at the very beginning of the world.

Rex felt goosebumps as Berserker's blade made slight chiming sounds as he looked at it, he felt that this moment would be recorded in the annals of history.

Rex soon became perplexed though, if he as the wielder could feel how powerful Berserker currently was, there was no way that the sword's living consciousness would not have felt it yet.

Berserker was supposed to have an even more in-depth understanding of its current strength than him, so why was the living consciousness quiet?

Rex became suspicious. "Hey buddy, why are you so suspiciously quiet!"

"Shing!" Berserker laughed smugly in Rex's mind.

The next moment, after letting it all out, the living sword consciousness could no longer hold it back as it yelled and expressed its excitement in Rex's mind.

"Shing!"

"Shing!!"

"Shing!!!"

"F*ck! Will you f*cking stay quiet?!"

"SHING!!!"

"Ok, sorry boss, please can you stay quiet?"

"Shing". Berserker finally calmed down, causing Rex to sigh in exasperation.

Throughout as all this happened, Ben was at the side looking at his friend with an amused expression on his face.

"Was that Berserker speaking to you again?"

"Oh, yeah". Rex scratched his head only to look down at his sword as it seemed to suddenly stand more erect.

Since bringing Berserker out of the forge, Ben had never spoken, being contented with staying in the background. Because of this and due to its excitement, Berserker was unable to detect the presence of this close friend.

Being 1 of Rex's childhood friends, Ben knew about Berserker and though they could not communicate, they were able to grow to become close friends.

Now, Berserker's senses stood at erect after hearing Ben's voice. Once it confirmed that this was the one, Berserker did something that shocked Ben, leaving Rex even more shocked than his friend.

To the 2 human's shock, the one-handed sword briefly glowed before an illusory golden sword charged out of it and hovered before Ben.

This floating illusory golden sword was Berserker.

"Bro!!! Is that you?!"

"…"

"…"

"….."

Ben and Rex stood petrified without answering the sword, the shock of this moment was still so strong that their brain found it difficult to react appropriately.

"Bro…! Answer me, is that you?"

"Uhh…, yes?"

"Yeah, Ben the Horny Lord!" The illusory golden sword yelled excitedly before charging forward to embrace Ben excitedly.

In the end, the embrace turned into Berserker simply harmlessly passing through him. Throughout this, Rex was still petrified from the shock.

In just a few seconds, Ben was able to confirm that this was Berserker as he easily forgot about his shock. The next moment, the living sword and the human started rapidly chatting away like Rex was a ghost.

It took more than a minute, but after Rex finally ditched his shock, he carefully observed the sword on his hand and the illusory golden sword.

Without a doubt, this was Berserker then came the questions.

Rex marched towards the illusory golden sword. "How did you become like this?"

"When did you become like this? After the upgrade?"

"Finally, when did you become able to talk in human language?"

"Tsk". Berserker scoffed in disdain, shocking Rex once again.

The illusory golden sword finally turned to focus on him. "Primitive human, you have no idea about the immense possibilities of mystic energy".

"Lol, infact, you don't even know the full capabilities and possibilities of ordinary technology, picking mystic energy as a whole is too high a topic for you".

"This forge remolded me, now I am finally in my perfect state".

"As a living sword in its perfect state, of course I can speak, of course I can project my consciousness to interact with the outside world".

"Stop being such a barbarian".

"…" Rex was left speechless.

By now, he no longer even paid attention to Berserker's insults, his eyes sparkled as he thought of the implications of this upgrade to his living sword.

"Awesome!" He exclaimed the next moment. "Berserker, you da best!"

Berserker tsked in disdain again. "Just because I can talk and you are getting so worked up and shocked, wait till you see something even more shocking".

"Baby Vamp!" Berserker turned its illusory form smugly. "Come out to meet daddy".

The next moment, Rex felt goosebumps all over his body as he felt a different consciousness surround him all of a sudden. This consciousness was not his, nor was it Berserker, nor was it hostile, it came out of his armor.

Rex's eyes widened in shock. "Sh*t! Vampiric Armor is now living too?!"

"Master!"

The consciousness projection of the Vampiric Armor was a simple thick blob that was red in color. The projection radiated cuteness and horror at the same time.

The next moment, this blob bowed before Rex. "Master!"

Rex's eyes widened bigger and bigger, then he fainted.
