Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman-Chapter 177 Day 2 In Planet Tioron

Rex paused as soon as he heard the growl of the strange beast.

Remembering the basics of fighting mystic beasts that were taught to him back in the Obedin Mystic Academy, Rex did not run, panic, nor did he make any sudden movements as he turned as naturally as he could. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

After such a long time, he barely remembered the last time that he was forced to do this but he did it because he already felt that this beast was an advanced mystic beast. Also, its aura was unnaturally strong.

At this moment, Rex had flashbacks to a year ago when he just met his first mystic beast in the form of the mystic pig that he ended up killing.

As soon as he turned around, the first thing that greeted him was the bloody red pair of eyes that seemed to come straight out of hell.

This was an enormous beast that had the physique of a Bull. The main difference was its head, instead of 2 horns, multiple horns jutted from different part of this beast's head, making it seem like a war machine.

As soon as their eyes clashed, the massive beast growled again and moved. It dragged its huge body along as it charged towards Rex with its head facing him.

The beast's battle strategy was as clear as day. Clearly, the beast intended to directly slam into him, impale him with its horns and kill him.

As soon as the beast moved, Rex finally remembered that he did not have his main weapons at the moment.

When he was transported through the planetary teleportation portal, Berserker, his Blood Tome, and all his mystic treasures were left behind.

He originally left at a loss, but on remembering something, Rex checked what he was wearing at the moment, this was when he discovered that he was clad in entirely new clothes to the ones that he wore before.

Apart from the Blood Shackle that covered his face, at this moment, he was clad in primitive red hair clothes that made him look like a red Ape.

His clothes at this moment were not important though, what was important was that alongside his new clothes was the sheath of a sword that was attached to his waist. Once he grabbed it, he felt the sensation of a sword.

Shing!

As soon as Rex pulled the sword out, a sword with a red blade edge followed. This was when the beast finally roared and pounced on him.

The Pounce of this Bull-like beast carried such force, speed, and momentum behind it unlike Rex had experienced from any other Advanced mystic beast.

Like he expected, due to the increased concentration and potency of mystic energy here, the mystic beasts here were much more powerful than those on earth. In no time though, Rex soon discovered that he was also stronger.

Whoosh!

Rex dodged with an unnatural speed that he previously didn't know that he had as with it, his incredible swordsmanship finally showed.

The sword cut through the exposed and unprotected mid-section of this beast as blood poured like a fountain while the beast roared. In reaction, the horns covering the beast's head disappeared and appeared on its stomach section.

The beast did not hesitate despite its injury as it pounced on him, Rex welcomed it with his sword as he faced it fearlessly.

The sounds of metal clashing against tissue kept on reverberating for a few minutes as Rex fought this beast. After 6 minutes, the beast finally recognized that it was up against a superior opponent and it tried to escape.

Rex did not allow this though as he followed it tightly and got his kill.

Like he expected, his system lit up.

-----

You have killed a pure bloodline Advanced mystic beast: Hell Bull!

You have gained 2,100 mystic energy points

You have gained 50 mystic energy limits

----

On seeing this figure, Rex's eyes widened as wide as saucers.

Mystic energy points were something that his body naturally recovered on its own, but mystic energy limits were the real rare currency that his system could reward him with.

He was shocked. "Killing beasts here gives mystic energy limits?!"

All of a sudden, Rex felt a sudden urge to abandon every other thing that brought him to this planet and completely focus on farming mystic energy limits through the beasts but he soon disciplined himself.

The first reason was that he was determined to repay the trust that Lord Asuka had on him, and the 2nd reason was that taking such a route was dangerous.

Like was evident from his battle against the Hell Bull, beasts in this planet were far more powerful than those on earth.

If he fought against a much more powerful beast, without his usual advantages and cheats back on earth, he was not sure if he would be able to survive, he needed to act more cautiously.

Another fact that he discovered was the additional phrase that his system attributed to the Hell Bull. This random beast here was a pure bloodline beast.

Once he attributed this fact to the potency of mystic energy here, he made a guess that perhaps getting pure bloodlines was related to the quality of mystic energy. Perhaps, the first pure bloodline beasts were the original invaders of earth.

He also guessed that perhaps, all beasts here were pure bloodline beasts.

Though his curiosity wanted him to look deeper into all the intricacies of this more potent mystic energy, he did not have the luxury to do all that.

After the brief commotion that was made by his battle against the Hell Bull, other beasts were already attracted and Rex could sense them getting closer to his location, he no longer dared stay at the same place.

He collected the mystic core of the beast before escaping into the blood mist.

After spending a lot of time to evade the beasts and hide his tracks, when it was already late and the blood mist turned dark, Rex finally found a hiding space.

Unaware of how dangerous Planet Tioron was at night, Rex refrained from turning into his half-bat form and exploring as he spent the night safely.

...

The next morning, Rex woke up to another bloody mist day.

Having found a safe haven for himself to fall back to when he encountered danger already, his next step was locating the territory of the Blood Spartan Tribe.

Since Lord Asuka did not give him any clues whatsoever on where the tribe's territory was, it probably meant that he had a whole planet to search. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

The prospect of this endeavor terrified him but Rex still forged ahead. For the whole day, Rex was like a vagabond with no home as he roamed across this red planet while evading any beasts that he met and killing those he could not evade.

For those beasts that he killed, after confirming that they were not venomous, he turned them to meat through which he sustained himself.

The only problem now was human blood. Without human blood, he could not survive in this strange red planet for more than another 24 hours.

Rex spent all his energy in the day looking for the Blood Spartan Tribe to no avail until his system started giving him familiar system notifications.

-----

[You are hungry!]

[You must drink human blood within the next 24 hours!]

[For every hour that passes without blood, your intelligence will keep on degrading till the extent that you become nothing more than a beast!]

[For every 30 minutes that passes without blood, you will lose 100 HP!]

----

Once this system notification came, Rex's life became timed.

His body kept on growing weaker with time even as he lost health points every 30 minutes. From its previous 2 hours interval, as he grew stronger, the penalties of him going without human blood also grew harsher.

Rex did not know if any other humans occupied this red planet, the only ones that he was sure of were the Blood Spartan Tribe.

This journey to find them soon graduated from just a quest to live up to Lord Asuka's trust in him, it soon became a quest for survival.

Unless he met the warriors of the Blood Spartan Tribe and sucked their blood, his journey on this world of the living was already numbered.

Rex continued searching till it was night again. This time, he did not sleep, he dared not sleep as there was a high chance of him dying in his sleep.

He persevered and kept on searching until all strength was finally drained out of him. Rex met a strange deer-like mystic beast at his weak moment and after a great battle which he barely won; he was left completely exhausted.

He laid on the floor as he looked at the red sky through his dizzy eyes. At this moment, he felt like the whole universe was upside down and was spinning crazily.

"Hahaha, I've barely even started but I'm already dying to hunger".

Rex's eyes soon closed due to extreme weakness.

He was soon buried in the dead of the night, but a few hours later, before he was completely buried by the blowing sand, a pair of hands grabbed his long hair and pulled him out of the sand.

"Check his pulse".

"Yes, leader".

The next moment, the young warrior turned to face the leader. "He's alive".
