Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

181 Day 5 in Planet Tioron- The Duel!

Day 5 of Rex's stay in Planet Tioron finally came.

This day was not just significant to Rex, but it was also significant to the Blood Spartan Tribe as a whole. Today, the whole tribe woke up early as they were all hyped for the most memorable duel of the year.

During the past 2 days, the 2 contestants kept themselves busy. They both dared not underestimate their opponent as they trained like their lives depended on it, they wanted to impress under the watch of the whole tribe.

The outcome of this duel was very important for both contenders, so they were both eager to give their best and become the winner.

After the hectic 2-day training, the D-day of the duel finally came.

Having fainted from exhaustion the previous day after the harrowing battle against the young Dalkin, Rex had the whole night to rest and recuperate after being administered some herbs by General Katake.

Today, he woke up energized and revitalized.

Once the 2 contenders were prepared, under the leadership of the Clan Head, the whole Blood Spartan Tribe finally left their coven to the surface. The energy of the tribe was at a high as they all ascended to the surface.

The arena of the duel would be in the surface.

Once they arrived at the surface, 10 Blood warriors of the tribe went to work. Being all mystic warriors, they used their mystic abilities to great effect in an effort to create a massive battle arena for this duel.

Those with earth and sand-related mystic abilities controlled the sand of the desert into a desired shape and allowed those with fire mystic abilities to heat it.

Once the temperature crossed a certain threshold, the sand solidified and turned into glass. The battle arena was a massive one that was made of glass.

It was a glass square-shaped massive battle arena with stands for audience like those of a stadium surrounding it. Just after the stands was a massive red shield that was erected using a special mystic treasure.

Once all the preparations for the duel were made, Clan Head Goku finally took the stage to address the crowd.

As he took the stage, cheers exploded among the tribesmen.

"Today, we'll be bearing witness to a great duel".

"A duel that may possibly change the direction of our tribe".

"A duel between Zuko, my last son and the strongest warrior among the young generation, and Rex, the child of prophecy that was sent by our ancestors".

"The stakes are high; I expect both warriors to give their best".

"The rules of the duel are simple. Fight till one of you gives up, but remember that we are one, none of you should kill the other".

"Bring the contenders to the arena and let the duel begin!"

As the other tribesmen yelled and hailed the Clan Head after his short speech, the 2 contenders in this duel finally climbed the arena from opposite directions. Zuko was dressed in blue, while Rex was dressed in red.

Once they climbed the podium, they looked at each other.

Zuko was a pretty muscular mystic warrior. He had a handsome facial look which were complemented by battle marks that made his face look more heroic.

Rex with his long black hair stared coolly back at his opponent.

As they looked at each other, without saying a single word, they silently exchanged thousands of information between themselves as in no time, they got a shallow understanding of each other.

This was when the order finally came. "Begin!"

Once the order was given, the blood of both mystic warriors burned hot as without hesitation, they rushed towards each other for the clash.

Once they got close enough, Rex opened the battle as he unsheathed his sword before pushing it forward in a great thrust that divided the air as it moved.

Shing!

Feeling the powerful force of the sword stab and the impeccable technique that was behind it, Zuko respected it but he was not intimidated.

His grip on his spear tightened as he retaliated with a stab of his own spear.

Boom!

The sound was like those of exploding dominoes as sword and spear clashed. Even amid the shockwaves that were induced, both warriors flared their mystic energy to stand their ground as without hesitation, they continued.

The aura around Rex changed after the first slash as he began a combo attack that was filled with the venom and energy that he entered this battle with.

This combo attack started with his new Trident of Ethereal Blackfire skill.

Zuko did not back down, he gritted his teeth and roared before responding with his own combo as his spear seemed to leave afterimages behind.

Rex's Trident of Ethereal Blackfire had the ethereal qualities of his old Ethereal Slash skill. With this skill, he was able to catch Zuko off-guard, striking through his stance defense straight to his armor.

This time, Rex's mastered movement technique came to play again. Having expected the effects of the ethereal slash, he struck his opponent's armor while using his Drizzling Rain Steps movement technique to dodge Zuko's attack.

The first attack was just the beginning as following it was his Piercing Stab attack. Zuko responded with a stab of his own and both attacks canceled each other, the 3rd consecutive attack followed at almost the same time.

This time, Rex's attack was even more unpredictable. The Blood Prophecy sword skill did not just contain the ethereal qualities of his Blackfire mystic ability, but it also contained the powerful blood powers of his vampire bloodline.

Zuko despite being a 10th tier Advanced mystic warrior and overall stronger warrior was unable to adjust to the unpredictable nature of his opponent's skills.

For the 3rd consecutive time, Rex dodged his attack while his own attack connected and this time the Blood Prophecy slash chipped a large hole through the mystic armor that Zuko was given for this duel.

The force of the attack finally pushed him back, breaking his stance to continue his combo attack and leaving him vulnerable to Rex's follow-up attack.

Rex did not hesitate, he finally unleashed his 4th and last attack of his combo and this time, it was an Advanced sword skill!

The Annihilation Slash came with a fury to annihilate the world!

Whoosh!

As the wind blew at his face, Zuko was shocked, he felt his life threatened. Without hesitation, he finally made use of one of his trump cards.

"Roar!"

Just like Rex, Zuko was a vampire, he had morphing forms.

Zuko morphed into a giant 3-faced humanoid monster!

In this form, he could still use his spear to attack and having no time to go on the offense again, he simply crossed his spear for a block.

Boom!

Rex's sword empowered by the Advanced sword skill collided against the spear and it was like he hit a wall; the spear did not move an inch.

Zuko roared again as he bashed Rex with the back of the spear at superhuman speed before bringing one of his heads forward to bite at Rex.

Instantly after the transformation, Rex flapped his wings and escaped into the sky but Zuko was relentless as he pursued him.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Zuko's spear kept on releasing loud clapping sounds as it swiped at the air, every attack from the spear was lethal to Rex and he had no choice but to dodge.

In the end, Zuko was the superior mystic warrior. Even with his better proficiency with his battle domain, and his incredible battle talent, Rex was going up against a 10th tier Advanced mystic warrior while only being at the 5th tier.

After his crazy training session in the Sword Saint's tomb, his swordsmanship was not the only thing that increased, his mystic energy limits increased too.

For the next few minutes, Zuko oppressed Rex in this duel. Rex was not impatient as he took his time to observe his opponent, when he was done observing, he suddenly swooped down from the sky at his opponent.

Boom!

Rex landed and decided to decree an end to this battle, he no longer held back, he revealed himself fully by using every single trump card available to him.

His mystic energy drained like water but temporarily, he turned invisible.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Zuko tried to go on the defensive but it did not matter, he was overwhelmed completely. At this moment, Rex was like a possessed mystic swordsman!

The fire, the shadows, the sword energy, it was all too much, Zuko was consumed completely in the process until one of the Generals finally intervened.

Once the General intervened, the battle stopped and only Rex was left in the damaged battle arena panting like a rabbit.

The duel was finally over.
