Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman-Chapter 202 The Terror Of The Night

"The night is going to be a long one". The gang leader of the Rising Sun-giant gang muttered as he looked outside through the window in his room.

Unlike the mainstream powerful gangs like the Berserk Gang and the Axe Gang who were more or less the bullies of the Red Zone already, the Rising Sun-giant gang was among the average gangs in terms of power.

They were not at the lower end of the spectrum of power in the Red Zone, they simply settled comfortably in the middle where they hoarded power.

And unlike the Berserk Gang, they didn't have a huge mansion which was their base of operations. There territory was a collection of uncompleted buildings.

The Berserk Gang having a mansion showed their luxury and status. For most gangs of the Gundam Shelter in the Red Zone, they settled for uncompleted buildings as their territory and base of operation.

Since it was already past 11 in the night, most of the warriors of the gang already went to sleep, only those on sentry duty were still awake.

The gang leader of the Rising Sun-giant gang was a huge and muscular man that looked no different from a giant when before other warriors.

He had an eye patch on his left eye and a large sword scar on his right cheek, these physical traits set him up as a fierce and mean warrior.

In this lonely room of his, his only companion was his battle hammer. After staying with his battle hammer for over a decade already, he already developed a special relationship with it where they could communicate subtly.

At this time of the night, he was supposed to be asleep already but he could not this time. For some strange reason, his beloved battle hammer was restless.

He could only feel the restlessness of the hammer as he caressed its smooth surface. The frustrating thing was that the hammer could not communicate smoothly with him so he was left guessing.

"Dragon Horn, what are you trying to tell me?" He asked but got no reply.

Frustrated, this muscular warrior stood up and went closer to the window. There, he was able to see the half moon that illuminated the sky.

The strange thing was that as he looked, to his shock, the moon suddenly started developing a shade of red. In just a few minutes, the originally white and bright moon turned into a red moon.

He was even more baffled as the weather suddenly changed, then rain started falling from the skies. An ominous feeling instantly rose in his heart.

Whoosh!

The sound was like the wind blowing, but Gaga instantly knew that this was no ordinary wind as goosebumps filled his skin.

He grabbed Dragon Horn, his battle hammer and looked into the distance. At the entrance to his gang territory, he was able to see the remnants of the sword energy that just cleared about a dozen of his warriors on sentry duty.

The strange thing was that this sword energy carried a water element with it. Through the red moon, the flying blood, and the 8 warriors who now laid on the ground dead, Gaga finally saw the culprit behind this strange phenomenon.

He first saw a beast, a beast that people all over the Red Zone were already growing to know, a Kamaitachi. Riding this beast was its master, Rex!

On seeing Rex, Gaga's face tightened as a bad feeling rose in his heart. Without hesitation, he rang the alarm bell through which the gang alert rang.

Wom! Wom! Wom!

11:30 in the night, the whole Rising Sun-giant gang was aroused.

Once they knew that they were suffering an attack, the warriors rushed towards the entrance of the gang territory where they met the Kamaitachi and its master who at this moment was dressed in a red attire.

Rex's red attire blend perfectly with the red moon and the blood that was about to flow tonight. Once he raised his head, he activated his ability again.

-----

You have activated Master Level Sword Skill: Master of the Elements!

----

This time, instead of water, Rex used the fire elemental affinity which he briefly gained control over as the massive sword energy swept over like a plague.

The sword energy cut apart with incredible sharpness, while the fire incinerated every living thing that survived the onslaught of the sharpness.

In one attack, more than 20 mystic warriors died.

Rex's third sword attack made use of the wind elemental energy, and instantly, another 15 mystic warriors died to his master level sword skill.

By now, the Rising Sun-giant already lost all the momentum and confidence through which they previously sprinted at him as they paused in shock and fear.

Due to his intentions of propaganda for this intimidation act, Rex deliberately caused a commotion and other nearby gangs already woke up. They did not interfere as they watched the commotion from a distance.

With blood all over in this blood moon, a Kamaitachi and its master swaggered deep into the Rising Sun-giant territory with no warrior daring to attack them again after his incredible show of power.

Even Gaga, the giant warrior was petrified in shock as he stood shivering with his Dragon Horn hammer. He could not attack, nor could he run, he was already affected by another of Rex's abilities.

-----

You have activated the Death Dagger mystic effect: Ancillaen Gaze!

----

Under the petrifying gaze of a dead Vampire Ancillae, Gaga was like a paralysis patient as he just stood shivering till the Kamaitachi was beside him.

"Please, spare my life". He begged.

He looked up at Rex in hope but the only thing that he saw looking down at him was a pair of glowing red eyes that showed no signs of sympathy.

Gaga shuddered and inwardly said his last prayer.

Whoosh!

All it required was one casual swing with Berserker, and the powerful Advanced mystic warrior of the Rising Sun-giant lost his life.

The same way that Rex swaggered in, after taking Gaga's Advanced mystic battle hammer, he swaggered out, leaving a scene of blood and disaster that left a deep impression on all that saw it.

As soon as Rex left the spotlight, he gasped breathlessly. He may be more powerful than Gaga, but winning so effortlessly required some sacrifices on his part. Though the battle was short, he used up more than 90% of his mystic energy. 𝘧𝘳𝐞𝚎𝑤ℯ𝘣𝗻𝘰ѵℯl.c𝐨𝚖

Rex waited till he recovered before he left to his next destination.

…

News travel fast, despite it already being past 12 in the night in the Gundam Shelter, the news of Gaga's death spread fast like wildfire spreading in harmattan.

All the gangs were left shocked and guessing Rex's motive.

That same night though, around 12:40, another gang was attacked. Like the previous time, Rex's target was once again a gang in the middle ranks of the spectrum of power in the Red Zone.

The 3 Elephants gang were just as shocked and caught off-guard as the Rising Sun-giant gang. This time, to increase the success rate of his flawless and convincing battle plan, Rex morphed into his half-bat form.

With the Fear Apostle passive ability of his half-bat form, the Ancillaen Gaze mystic effect of his Death Daggers became even more lethal and effective.

By feeding on their fear, after a powerful display of strength from him that left a deep impression on them, they were all petrified in fear again.

In his half-bat form, Rex grabbed Lemar, the gang leader of the 3 Elephants gang before flying high into the sky where he could be seen far and wide.

With the red moon focusing its light on him, Rex was like a vampire god.

"I sentence you to death!"

With his thick claws and strong grip, Rex squeezed and severed Lemar's head from the rest parts of his body as blood sprayed everywhere.

Most of this blood sprayed towards his face and Rex's more feral instincts as a vampire were triggered as he opened his mouth and drank the blood ravenously.

Every single warrior who saw this scene felt a chill crawling down their spines. Just like with the Rising Sun-giant gang, the 3 Elephants gang lost their gang leader without being able to put up a fight.

Rex took the Advanced mystic weapon of Lemar before swaggering out of the territory of the 3 Elephants gang, the news once again traveled fast.

After the 2nd assassination that night, all the gangs in the Red Zone were instantly put on high alert mode as they anticipated attacks from the red vampire.

…

Rex's 3rd target was the Triple Threat Gang.

Unlike the previous 2, having been spooked by his actions in the previous 2 gangs, all of them were awake and they prepared for his coming.

This time, Rex could no longer have a flawless and overwhelming victory like he did with the previous 2. Despite this, the outcome was not so different.

Having been tasked with only a minor job of changing the weather and inducing rain previously, Storm finally got his opportunity to play a major part in this night raid.

Alongside his transformed beast, Rex ran riot through the Triple Threat Gang.

Not less than 200 mystic warriors died before Quinn, the powerful Advanced mystic warrior leader of the Triple Threat Gang finally died.

After this, every gang in the Red Zone was placed in a panic and super high alert level. No warrior dared to sleep anymore, they were all on high alert expecting an attack. This was exactly the effect that Rex wanted to induce.

When the tension was at the highest and fear was prevalent, Rex finally retired for the night.

That night, only the Berserk Gang was able to sleep without worries.

All other gangs had to worry about the terror of the night, the red vampire.
