Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

The journey to the Southern region took approximately 3 hours.

Though at Storm's maximum speed, the time would be reduced to less than 2 hours, Rex still went at the normal speed to let his other beasts catch up and to also let himself think and formulate a viable assassination plan.

Rex's journey as a mystic warrior just started a year ago, but after all his adventures that even led him to a faraway planet, he felt like an old warrior.

He felt like a veteran warrior who had gone through a thousand battles.

In all these thousand battles though, one vital experience that he lacked was assassination instincts. After the revelation from Cassandra, he worked hard to go against the beliefs and what he was supposed to be in the future.

Because of this, he instinctively loathed anything that had any relation to evil and he classified assassination as one, this was why he never engaged in it.

Well, today, Rex learned that the world was not always so rosy.

He was put in a situation where the Berserk Army either had to suffer a great defeat or a victory at a great expense, or he had to go assassinate the enemy leader to make things easy for his gang and his future goals.

Rex had no choice, he already pledged to take the Berserk gang to great heights that would enable him fulfill his goal of finding a way to rescue the Blood Spartan tribe that was stuck in the Tioron Planet.

To fulfill his goals, he had to bend to reality and go for the assassination.

As Storm sprinted across the forest, a lot of things went through Rex's mind, he recollected and started analyzing all the assassinations that he had suffered.

His first assassination was against the group of marauders who tried to kill him on someone's orders, while his 2nd and 3rd were both from Arthur Holmes.

Despite the strength that Arthur had at his disposal, Rex was always lucky when facing him, this was why he ranked his first assassination above all of Arthur's as his most harrowing and dangerous as he almost died.

After analyzing and comparing them, Rex got a common point. "The whole point of assassination is to catch the enemy off their guard".

Once Rex got this, he got a base to build his plan on.

…

After 3 hours, Rex finally appeared in the Southern region.

What shocked Rex was that as soon as he appeared, he saw different gangs escaping from this region. He understood their motives immediately.

With the shift in the era, gangs would no longer be the same again. Every gang leader with a sane mind knew that if the Exquisite Gang succeeded in defeating the Berserk Gang, they would be the next to be swallowed.

The braver gangs defied the Exquisite Gang and were already escaping.

This put a chaotic atmosphere in the region, exactly what Rex wanted.

Through the chaos, Rex infiltrated without attracting any attention and the first thing that he did was getting information from an inn to get himself updated in the current trends of this region and the Exquisite Gang.

Unknown to them, the Exquisite Gang's numbers already grew to over 110,000 mystic warriors over the past 2 years.

Dave had 30,000 warriors at home protecting him.

And at this moment, only about half of the warriors were at the outside posts protecting the assets of the gang, the remaining half were all at the palace-like headquarters of the Exquisite Gang.

Rex was relieved on hearing this but it was still pretty dangerous. He didn't have time on his side though, he tore the information to pieces and refined the plan that he developed on the way here.

After paying the innkeeper, he went outside. A spy from the inn followed him but the spy didn't see him again, Rex already disappeared.

Ambition carefully held the Space Box after putting his master and the other beasts in it as he put it on his pocket, also making it invisible.

One of his greatest traits was that he didn't need to stay naked to be invisible, his invisible powers also affected his clothes and now the Space Box.

After keeping the box, Ambition embraced his Invisibility abilities as he phased and blinked through the void until he arrived before the palace.

Though Rex was bad at it, Ambition's Invisibility mystic ability made him a natural assassin. Unless special measures were made towards it, nobody on the world could discover him if he infiltrated as an assassin.

Having inherited its instincts from Gaud, Ambition did not hesitate as he smoothly infiltrated the headquarters of the Exquisite Gang.

Just a few minutes in though, he discovered motion sensors. As this was the exact way in which Aragorn countered Gaud, Rex was prepared for it ahead of time.

Ambition simply activated one of the mystic effects of his mystic boots as he climbed the building and started walking through the wall like the spiderman.

Ambition continued for 5 minutes, walking through the enormous palace until he finally arrived at the building inside that was the gang leader's residence.

Throughout all this, he did not make a single sound.

He dared not climb the walls of the gang leader's residence though, electricity was just one of the set-ups installed to counter assassinations.

Ambition instead attached a sound amplifier to the wall, a device that picked all sound signals in the building, amplified them, and sent them to him.

Rex inside the Space Box was the one listening.

"Gang leader, we are still receiving signals from the army in the outskirts".

"What are they saying?" Dave asked in a deep voice that failed to hide how anxious he was at this moment.

"Sorry sir, but the signal keeps on being interrupted".

Bam!

Dave unleashed a slap on this female warrior that left her bleeding. "Don't report baseless news to me!"

"Go out there! Break the interference and find out what they're trying to send! Do that in 15 minutes, if you can't, come back with your head!"

Elanor and the others were right, the protection around Dave was too lax. Though without Ambition, Rex definitely would have been caught infiltrating, but the speed at which Ambition infiltrated told him how lax the security was.

Even as messages from the battlefield were constantly intercepted, Dave's originally genius brain that he was known for was not working at this moment.

Rex had heard a lot of stories about Dave. From what he knew, hitting a subordinate was not part of Dave's hobbies, this was all the effects of war.

This was his first attempt at fighting an inter-region war and it was against the Berserk Gang who dared to go against a Snake territory gang, it was only normal that he would be anxious and this pleased Rex.

"Do it!" He ordered Ambition through their telepathic connection.

The next moment, Ambition squatted like a rocket that was about to take off, activating another mystic effect of his mystic boots that enabled spring-like abilities that allowed him to jump high.

The sound was just like the wind blowing but to avoid being shocked by the electricity circuits, Ambition had to brute-force his way through the window.

Crack!

As soon as the reinforced glass shattered, the whole building became alert.

Wom! Wom! Wom!

An intruder alert rang loudly but Ambition was already in the room with Dave. The spooky thing was that Dave and his warriors saw the glass shatter, but they didn't see who or what broke it.

"Fire!" Dave ordered as he grabbed his sword and unsheathed it.

The dozens of mystic warriors unleashed fire at the surrounding, shooting randomly while unknown to them, their target was on the ceiling.

Ambition climbed directly above Dave, then once again like spiderman, he dropped cooly. Dave only felt the wind slightly blowing beside his ear before he felt the cold edge of a knife pressing against his neck, drawing blood.

Ambition activated the Space Box now, enabling Rex to come out.

Rex looked Dave in the eye. "It's over, surrender…, or die!"
