Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Magma Jones was a student that was extremely proficient with the earth mystic ability and was a natural practitioner of the taijutsu fighting technique.

This was the reason why despite being shocked by his opponent's ability to shatter his boulder with one sword strike, he was able to react fast enough to activate his feet vision skill.

The feet vision skill was an earth ability skill that through channeling mystic energy down into the legs, could enable earth ability wielders to be able to see through the earth with their feet.

The earth fraction relative to the concrete and metal used to make the battle arena was small, but this was enough for Jones to make his move.

Ignoring the flying debris everywhere that obscured vision, he was able to easily locate his opponent through the earth underneath his feet as he exploded forth with speed the next moment towards Rex.

As a taijutsu practitioner, Jones believed that in close quarters combat, he would have the advantage despite the sharp sword of his opponent.

This was the reason why he strived to close the distance as fast as possible.

Rex did not leave his previous location; it was like he was waiting for his opponent to come or the previous attack probably left him too paralyzed to move.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Jones became emboldened as he rapidly channeled his mystic energy, creating earthen boxing gloves to cover his hands to serve as his default weapons.

With these, he dashed towards his opponent's location, arriving before Rex in less than a second as his fists rapidly punched towards Rex's head.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sounds of collision easily revealed that Rex was not petrified.

The debris obscured his vision, yes, but not his mind. According to Master Fixten, swordsmen are emotional mystic warriors who dedicate their whole life to learning and understanding the ways of the sword.

In this lifetime dedication, through a mixture of luck and talent, swordsmen have a certain chance of completely unlocking their sword domain.

Once the sword domain was fully unlocked, swordsmen could finally get the full status of a mystic swordsman. The sword domain at its peak could enable a swordsman to have an omniscient view and awareness of his surroundings.

As an extremely talented sword student, Rex already had initial success at unlocking his sword domain. But at this moment, as his desire to win aligned so much with that of his living sword, Rex discovered that he achieved more.

For the first time in his life as a swordsman, he achieved more with his sword. He felt for the first time that he was not alone, his sword was now his eyes.

Rex closed his eyes, relishing in the feeling as he could now see the wind blowing against his face. He could see the small particles forming the debris, he could track the wind direction, and his senses heightened to an unbelievable level.

Rex at this moment achieved a superhuman state. This was the reason why immediately after Jones entered his sword domain, he discovered him.

His sword domain may only extend to about a meter around him now, but this was already tyrannical enough to give him the edge in this battle.

He perfectly countered his opponent's fist attacks.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Still in his sword stance, once Rex countered the 3 sharp punches from his opponent with his sword, he inclined his sword slightly as he retaliated.

Though at this moment Jones had his feet vision skill active, he was still limited due to the little percentage of earth forming the battle arena. At this moment, Rex firmly had the visual advantage.

Despite this, Jones was able to react on time to dodge as the sharp sword swiftly stabbed towards the left side of his face.

Jones shifted his head to the side slightly, barely dodging the first stab. He had to move his head again as a 2nd and 3rd sword stab quickly followed, this trend already showed that he lost the initiative.

While he was already feeling indignant at losing the advantage, his opponent's next move revealed to him that he was feeling too complacent.

Whoosh!

In the brief moment when he felt indignant, Rex changed from rapid stabs towards the left side of his face to a swift slash sideways to his opponent's right.

Rex ducked but still reacted a fraction of a second late as the sharp sword cut his right cheek open as blood finally flowed in this battle.

Once blood flowed, Jones' concentration was affected slightly. Rex ruthlessly took advantage of this small window of opportunity as he shifted his left leg forward slightly with his eyes glowing golden once again.

Once Jones saw the golden light shining from the debris, he knew that he had just f*cked up but he tried to react and remedy it fast.

"Sword Skill: Boomerang Slash!"

Berserker danced to Rex's tune, swinging in the direction that his master's hands moved as the sword ruthlessly aimed for Jones' neck with a mighty sword energy slashing forward with the sword.

Jones was not fast enough to react with his taijutsu technique, but he was fast enough to channel his mystic energy as earthen armor gathered at his neck.

Clang!

The sword paired with the sword energy shattered the earthen armor, inflicting injury on Jones' neck as he bled but this small hindrance enabled him to retreat rapidly.

Rex was not having it, he was already in his domain and he was not willing to extend the battle any further, he was only willing to end it now.

Rex took a step forward after his opponent as he went in pursuit.

Whoosh!

He attacked, while Jones defended and retreated till the both of them finally left the debris zone, revealing themselves to the spectators once again.

The spectators were dumbfounded by the sight. They never expected the sword maniac to be the one pursuing the Earth Monster backward.

Both students didn't care about their opinion though as they gave their all to fight. Jones tried to turn the situation around, but the current version of Rex was too horrifying an opponent for him to face.

Rex no longer channeled his mystic energy again, but his basic swordsmanship was up to the task as he constantly beat his opponent to a retreat.

At this point, it was already evident that his sword was a mystic weapon as, despite Jones already covering his whole body with earthen armor, the sword still proved a terrible threat to his life.

2 minutes later, Jones grew tired of defending as the frustration drove him into engaging in a reckless offensive.

Bam! Bam!

Rex stopped abruptly once his opponent attacked, then he deflected the 2 punches, swatting them aside while at the same time retaliating as his sword stabbed straight at Jones' heart.

This time, Jones was out of tricks.

The sword dug a few inches into his flesh after cutting through his earthen armor, causing blood to flow before one of the masters of the academy finally intervened to rescue the student.

A strange silence befell the spectators in the stands.

Even the commentator was left speechless for a while. "Well, what do we have here, an upset like some of us speculated?"

"Against all odds, the sword maniac, Rex Vector is our winner today!"
