Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman
Chapter 145 Vampiric Armor- Will Of The Blood Sage

Inside the Berserk Gang Mansion…

Rex stood inside the section of the mansion where he recently renovated to become his personal training chamber as he looked at the armor that was before him. Rex's eyes were on the armor, but his mind was elsewhere.

He still vividly remembered just about a year ago when he was still a student of the Obedin Mystic Academy, one of the underprivileged students.

Though he always reminded himself to not dwell too deeply on it, he knew how envious he felt of the privileged students who had their own training chambers. Now, this long dream of his was fulfilled.

For the first time in all his life, he had a personal training chamber of his own.

"I've really come a long way in just a year". He sighed.

Rex tried not to be too dramatic with his emotions, this was because of the 2 newcomers in the Berserk Gang mansion who were currently in the training chamber with him also looking at the armor.

Max Elden and Stark Elden already recovered from the trauma caused by the thugs, they felt even more grateful to Rex after this action from him.

Despite feeling grateful for Rex saving them, they could not assume and still didn't know the real reason why Rex brought them to the mansion.

As they looked at him, Rex's system lit up a notification.

-----

[Your relationship with the 2 Elden descendants has increased]

[+1 Loyalty and +4 Respect from Elden Max and Elden Stark]

----

Rex ignored this system notification as he returned his attention back to the red mystic Armor that was standing before him.

Even till now, he still felt this faint resonance from the armor.

"Well, let's see what you got".

Rex went closer before finally touching the mystic armor. Instantly after he touched it, he felt a faint fluctuation in his consciousness like something fleeting tried to communicate with him before his system lit up a notification.

------

Rex smiled after going through the armor's stats. "I indeed hit the jackpot!"

Though he already expected something great after he felt a resonance with the armor, Rex was still pretty impressed by what he saw.

The basic defense and durability of the Vampiric Armor were miles above those of the Parasitic Armor. Apart from that, it had 4 mystic effects and each one of them were mystic masterpieces that could turn dangerous situations around.

From the descriptions alone, Rex already had a vague idea of what to expect when using the armor. He wished he could make use of the mystic effects now.

Of the many amazing facts about the Vampiric Armor, one major fact that astonished him was the fact that it had a partially awakened mystic treasure consciousness akin to Berserker.

Of all the mystic treasures that Rex had, Berserker his main sword was the only one with a living consciousness.

Back in the Obedin Mystic Academy, because of Berserker, he already researched about mystic treasures with living consciousnesses.

From what he discovered, only few mystic treasures in the whole world had living consciousnesses. They could not be made, consciousnesses awaken randomly in mystic treasures and they only awaken in the best mystic treasures.

As Rex looked at the red Armor that was before him, his love for it already grew a lot as he finally took it and donned it on before his 2 spectators.

Instantly after he wore the armor, it fitted into Rex's body like a swim suit.

Before Rex could do anything with it, he suddenly felt a prick from the armor as his blood was sucked. The next moment, he felt his resonance with the armor increasing as his consciousness was suddenly dragged away from his body.

…

Bzzz!

Rex was surprised as he saw himself appear in a world set in a red sky.

All around him was a battlefield as mystic warriors clashed in a great battle. The timeline seemed to be at least a few centuries from the current era, Rex was able to recognize from the weapons being used by the battling warriors.

At this moment, Rex was shocked to replace himself inside the body of a powerful mystic warrior that he had no idea of his identity.

Instantly as he thought of it, the name seemed to come to him instantly. The name of this middle-aged warrior was Minato Musashi.

His identity further shocked Rex. Minato was the grandson of the famous Legendary Mystic Warrior, Miyamoto Musashi, the greatest swordsman alive.

Like Rex, he was a mystic swordsman and more importantly was that he was a Vampire. Unlike Rex, he didn't bother to hide his identity as he morphed into a beast like a werewolf in mid-day while fighting his adversaries.

As Rex spectated this battle, instantly, he knew that it was his upgrade mystic ability at play again through the Spectator and Mind Time Travel abilities.

Takumi Minato was a Super Mystic Warrior, he was the owner of the Super Grade Vampiric Armor and then, the armor had no consciousness.

What attracted Rex the most to this mystic warrior was that Minato already fully mastered the ways of the sword, he was so devoted to his sword that he already unlocked the ultimate sword domain.

He already achieved the status of Sword God and it showed in the battle.

Minato killed rampantly like a maniac. His roars of anger filled the battlefield, his blood manipulation spread destruction, while his swordsmanship was the artist of destruction as he continued killing.

3 days later, the battle continued and all around him was already a sea of blood. Despite his astonishing strength though, the enemies were too many.

After felling tens of thousands of enemies, Minato finally came close to death. With tens of arrows impaling him, and a broken sword stuck in his abdomen, Minato was on his knees as he roared defiantly.

Before he died, he placed a curse on his enemies and released his inheritance.

"My Vampiric Armor shall be my inheritance; it shall be a manifestation of my will". He said aloud amid his blurring consciousness.

"My inheritor shall be my avenger".

"One day, the Killing Sword Marauder tribe shall rise again".

"One day, the 10,000 Swords shall rise again and my death will be avenged".

"One day, you shall all taste the wrath of an angry swordsman again!"

With that, Minato finally breath his last.

Bzzz!

The scene soon fast-forwarded to a few days later as this Super Mystic Warrior was laid to rest. He was laid to rest alongside his Vampiric Armor.

A statue of this legendary warrior was created close to his tomb.

…

Despite having seen it all, Rex still did not leave the world of his mind. As he waited, a few weeks later after Takumi Minato was laid to rest, the dried-up blood in his bone marrows rose and attached themselves to the statue.

The statue instantly gained a special mystic treasure attribute.

The statue and the Vampiric Armor were the 2 main inheritances that this Super Mystic Warrior left for his inheritor.

Only a Vampire could inherit the Vampiric Armor, and only a swordsman that was talented enough could get the inheritance of the statue.

If one mystic warrior was lucky enough to fulfill both requirements, then he was the chosen avenger of Takumi Minato, the great swordsman who once walked the land and whose sword spread terror far and wide.

…

Bzzz!

Rex's consciousness finally returned to his body only for him to hear the worried voices of Max Elden and his sister as they attended to him.

"Are you ok? You suddenly blanked out".

Rex turned to face them. "For how long was I out?"

"Not too long, like 6 or 8 seconds".

Rex rubbed his growing beard. "Understood".
