Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman
Chapter 146 New Morphing Form

-----

[You have received an epiphany!]

[You have unlocked a new Vampire Morphing Form: Bear-man!]

…

[Current Morphing Forms available: Half-bat, Bear-man!]

----

After the short conversation with the 2 Elden descendants, Rex excused himself away from them and locked himself inside an exclusive part of his training chamber where he could meditate alone silently.

Having experienced multiple trips to the world of his mind already, he understood its mechanisms and some of the mysteries behind it.

After this short trip to the world of his mind through the connection of the Vampiric Armor to see the history of Minato Musashi, Rex experienced a similar sensation that he felt 6 months ago during a battle that he fought.

During the finals battle against Turan, Rex was pushed to his limits and he coincidentally went to the world of his mind where he saw his future self.

It was there that he got his first self-created advanced sword skill, the Nirvana Slash which had long been one of his most used sword skills.

Once again today, after the trip, he felt himself in an inspired state again. Once he felt this, he cut his conversation with the 2 siblings short and locked himself in where he meditated on this epiphany.

30 minutes later, his system lit up a notification.

On seeing the system notification, Rex smiled and clenched his fists as he felt a new strength connection through his blood.

After so long of having only one morphing form, he finally broke this bottleneck and got the ability to make use of another morphing form having been inspired by Minato's form as a Bear-man.

When he first saw the Vampiric Armor in the Blood Market, Rex instantly knew that it would be something good but he never expected it to be this good.

The Armor did not only grant him access to a decent defense measure, it connected him to the inheritance left by Minato Musashi and also enabled him now to unlock his 2nd morphing form as a Vampire.

Having benefited so much in such a short time, it was inevitable for him to be happy as a bright smile now lit Rex's face.

He finally stood up from the part of the training chamber where he isolated himself but before leaving to see the others, he first tried something out.

After unlocking a new morphing form, his curiosity was already piqued. He wanted to see himself in this form and he also wanted to see his system attributes.

Once Rex thought of it and concentrated on it, his body instantly reacted and started having changes which first started internally.

The first physical change that he experienced was his hair suddenly growing thicker and longer. Rex went in front of the mirror and that was where he experienced everything.

In just a few seconds, Rex morphed into an entirely different beast than the half-bat form that he was already used to after each morphing.

Through the mirror, Rex saw a huge Giant humanoid figure filled with hair all over looking back at him. His ripped arm muscles and huge chest like an ape dominated the image in the mirror, Rex felt like a gym freak.

His eyes also changed and were now a mixture of brown and red.

Rex clenched his right fist as he felt unbelievably powerful, he suddenly felt like he had the strength to punch right through the earth crust now.

Boom!

Rex threw a punch which induced a sonic boom, putting a grin on his face. "Nice!" He finally accessed his system to see his status.

Unlike his Half-bat form that gave more attention to a speedy and finesse battle style, Rex's 2nd morphing form could be summarized with only 1 sentence- let there be carnage!

In his Bear-man form, Rex was a strength freak. His strength stat in this state was even higher than those of either of his 2 transformed beasts.

Of all the stats, the Vitality was the most ridiculous. It dwarfed those of himself and his transformed beasts completely.

In this state, he was literally an undying cockroach tank.

He could punch extremely hard in this form, and he could also take a ridiculous amount of beating, and with his intelligence completely intact, this literally made him the bane of every same ranked mystic warrior.

Only his mind stat suffered a decrease. But considering the great increase that the other stats experienced, Rex did not give attention to this little decrease.

After all, the mind stat did not affect intelligence but resistance against soul and ethereal attacks which Rex could simply remedy later in the future.

Rex wanted to give an order to his training chamber's A.I to let in some sparring robot partners to try his new strength against, but he stopped having remembered that he still had 2 strangers waiting for him.

After changing back to his human form, Rex returned back to the main training chamber where Max and Stark Elde were still waiting for him obediently.

"I'm sorry for your time, I had to go take care of something".

"No worries…" The 2 forced a smile, as even they despite being just basic mystic warriors could feel the change that Rex just experienced.

They felt that Rex had this sudden wild aura to him that intimidated them.

Having thought a lot through his decision to bring the 2 of them here already, Rex did not beat around the bush as he went straight to the point.

Rex looked into Max's eyes. "Tell me everything you know about Gaud".

Max was surprised but Rex felt too lazy to give an excuse about how he knew the name of his chief guard. Unknowing to Rex, this mysteriousness only increased the respect that Max had for him as he finally started speaking.

"Gaud is my chief guard; he is an Advanced Mystic Warrior that was personally trained by one of the master trainers of my family".

"He was recognized as a great talent since when he was a kid, and his position in the hierarchy increased after he awakened his first mystic ability which was one that no one in my family have seen before".

"Gaud's first mystic ability is an extremely rare Invisibility mystic ability".

"His 2nd mystic ability is related to the soul, while his 3rd mystic ability is related to taming beasts. He fought his way to the top to become my chief guard".

"I never once thought that he'll betray my trust and try to kill me". Max fell into a daze as he said this, clearly still not believing the reality of things and this prompted Rex to ruthlessly bring him back to reality.

"Did he show any suspicious signs before the official attack? Anything, no matter how little that you feel that he does not do before".

"I'm not sure". Max scratched his head. "Gaud had always been a solitary person whose only motivation is getting stronger, but recently, he seemed to finally fall in love with one of the females in my family".

"…" Rex was speechless.

"I remembered I was the one who always motivated him to fall in love and get a wife or at least a girlfriend. I'm not sure, but I think that's the only anomaly that I noticed around him during the past few months".

"Umm…, ok". Rex fought hard not to have a weird expression on his face as he maintained seriousness. "What is the size of the force on his disposal?"

"I'm not sure, but probably more than 20 mystic warriors".

On hearing that, Rex heaved a sigh of relief as this meant that things were not hopeless already and they still had a chance.

From the shuttle that Max and Stark escaped in alone, he already expected the difference in mystic treasure quality between both sides to be ridiculous.

If they also had the numbers to back up this quality difference, then they had no chances of victory at all and Rex would not bother to endanger his life.

Rex asked them a few more important questions to know more about Gaud, the talented chief guard for a few more minutes before the session finally ended.

After the questioning session, Rex finally spoke to them. "I will not beat around the bush; I will tell you my reason for helping you".

"I admit your situation is pitiful but that is not the reason that I helped you. You both have connections to the Great Shelters; I and my sworn brother have businesses there and we could make use of your connections".

"Leave that for later, you'll know if you survive Gaud".

"Besides, Max can be the chief custodian of our Gang for the time being".

"Before finalizing anything though, you both need to meet my sworn brother and my other companion". Rex stood up and led them away.
