Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman-Chapter 253 The 4th Peak Assassin, Swift Spear

"Have you heard of the new weapons that Aragorn is so excited about?" Rex asked as he left his girlfriend's embrace to go brush his teeth.

"Yeah, I've even used them a bit".

"He says it will revolutionize the mystic world".

"I know, it's already revolutionizing how battles are fought in the Great Shelters". Cassandra stood up as she also got set to leave. "The only problem is that it requires a certain amount of talent to use it".

"Despite my experience from my previous life, mastering the maneuvers of the omnidirectional mystic device is still stuff of geniuses".

"Out of a thousand soldiers, less than 3 can use it proficiently".

"That is why it is not yet widespread in the mystic world". ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

"Hmmm". Rex rubbed his chin. "Even you can't use it proficiently, the person who created this mystic weapon must be sick in the brain".

Cassandra laughed. "Those who master it are monsters in battle though".

"If Aragorn masters the technology to create it, try to learn using it, if you combine it with your incredible swordsmanship, you'll become even more formidable in battle".

"Also…" Cassandra turned to plant a quick kiss on her boyfriend's lips as she left. "It'll play a huge role in the takeover of the Gundam Shelter".

"Don't underestimate this mission Rex, the Gundam Shelter is a rogue shelter filled with deep roots that have stood for centuries".

"I know". Rex waved his hands to send her off. "Extend my greetings to the first Peak Assassin".

Cassandra smiled. "I will, if he is not too rigid to accept it".

As soon as Cassandra left the mansion, Rex also went to work, getting set to start completing his schedule for the day.

After a lot of consideration, Rex finally decided on the mystic warriors that would be following him on his expedition to the Great Dungeon Forest.

First of all, he wanted the mission to be stealthy which meant that he needed a small team of elite warriors, he didn't want the whole Gundam Shelter to know that the Gang Leader of the Berserk Gang left.

Secondly, all warriors in the team needed to be those he completely trusted. Having heard rumors about the danger of this forest, he was not taking chances.

Basing his considerations on these 2 factors, he easily decided on his companions. Apart from Ben and Elanor, Cassandra would be the 4th member of his team that would head to the Great Dungeon Forest.

With the team organized, then came the planning.

To have contingency plans for most scenarios that they would meet in the great forest, Rex called Ben and Elanor to help him with the planning. f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

As for Cassandra, she had an even more important task today. Since her candidate already fulfilled the requirements that the Peak Assassins gave to assist him, she intended to go finalize things with the other 2 Peak Assassins.

When Rex left to the planning hall, Ben and Elanor were already there as they presented him with food that they already prepared beforehand.

"Thanks, let's get to work".

…

The hideout of the Sad Flutes Assassins was not in the Snake Territory, rather it was in the even more revealing and dangerous Black Zone.

On her disguise, Cassandra was able to smoothly infiltrate her way into this zone as she easily located the hideout of her organization.

It was a small underground bunker with only a few dozen elite mystic warriors and 2 of the Peak Assassins of the organization.

On entering the deepest room inside the underground hideout, Cassandra saw her other 2 compatriots already seated as she also located her seat.

As she entered the room, from under their hoods, the eyes of the 2 Peak Assassins never left her as the Lightsaber Ghost finally broke the silence.

With narrowed eyes, he asked. "What took you so long?"

"I heard that the Berserk Army concluded the wall like 3 months ago".

Cassandra calmly turned to face him. "I remember myself as the 2nd Peak Assassin, I don't ever remember reporting my actions to you".

"…" This hooded man with a sword scar running across half his face glared at Cassandra with an eerie smile on his face. "You love him, right?"

"I know you spent majority of the time in his room".

"Did you know him before now?"

Cassandra looked at him without replying.

The Lightsaber Ghost grinned. "Vixen, I've always told you that you're mine. One day or the other, you'll admit the truth and become mine".

"That Rex, he is not worthy of you".

"If he keeps angering me, I don't mind squashing him with my bare…"

Cassandra ignored him and turned to the 3rd and oldest member in this room. "Are we starting or what?"

The King of Daggers smiled as he playfully flicked the dagger that was on his hand. "What did he say about our proposal?"

"He is in on the plan".

"Good". The old assassin nodded. "During your absence, we have infiltrated deep and researched a lot about the Gundam Shelter".

"Like you said, the power structure here is extremely deep".

"We have to be more cautious with our planning".

"Also, in your absence, one of our subordinates rose through the ranks".

"We appointed a new Peak Assassin". The King of Daggers turned to face the door. "Come in".

The next moment, a petite lady with an extremely thin spear on her hand entered the room before paying her respects to the 3 Peak Assassins.

"Her codename is Swift Spear".

Cassandra kept quiet as she looked at this lady. 'The future is finally playing out huh?'

In the future where she came from where she never became a member of the Sad Flutes Assassin, this petite girl was the figurehead of this assassin organization. She was petite but deadly.

She was one of the few who grew to fully master the maneuvers of the omnidirectional mystic device, she was a born genius.

"Welcome Swift Spear to the top of the Sad Flutes Assassins". Cassandra stood up with a wide smile on her face as she went closer to embrace her.

The petite girl raised her guard but she did nothing as the Snake Empress embraced her, Cassandra smiled. "Since we're the only females among the Peak Assassins now, don't you think we should get along well?"

"You know, to counter the masculinity at the peak". She laughed.

The petite lady was still tense but Cassandra's unlikely welcome eased her mind a bit, even the other 2 Peak Assassins were surprised at her unusual actions.

Once the introductions were complete, they got Swift Spear up to speed with the major plans of the organization for the nearest future.

After an hour of talking, the gathering was finally about to come to an end. Before it ended, the King of Daggers asked. "Our candidate, Rex, does he have any demands for cooperating with us?"

"Yes". Cassandra smiled. "He wants to use the evolution pool".

"What?" The Lightsaber Ghost exploded. "Absolutely not! No warrior outside our organization is permitted…"

The King of Daggers raised a hand, forcing the Lightsaber Ghost to remain silent. He smiled. "I think that's a good idea".

"To increase our chances of victory, we need to help our ally since it will also build the trust among us. Even assassins need trust at times don't you agree?"

"When he is ready, tell him that he's free to come".

Cassandra nodded before standing up.

As they left, Cassandra deliberately increased her pace to match with those of the Swift Spear, she whispered into her ear.

"Are you in for an adventure? It'll be intense".

"…"
