Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Absolute silence reigned that you could even hear a pin drop.

Everyone expected a one-sided battle but definitely not this.

They expected the scene of the Giant Skull Pugilist thrashing the arrogant swordsman to death, no one expected to see the opposite where the Skull Pugilist died without even struggling.

As the dust of the shock died down, this was when attention finally turned to the culprit, the massive white Kamaitachi who now stood beside Rex.

Rex caressed the Kamaitachi's head and this single act was able to prove a point as it sent ripples of shock through the minds of every warrior present watching this, this swordsman was the owner of this Advanced mystic beast.

Rex did not stop there though. In a world of criminals, there was nothing like too much bravado since it was the only ticket to keep other criminals away.

To make them respect you, show them your strength, this was their creed.

To amplify the shock of the warriors, Grey finally came out of his hiding spot as it bathed all the warriors present with its Advanced mystic aura.

As they basked in its aura, the warriors of the Skull Gang shuddered as some even messed themselves up. Rex sheathed Berserker back while ignoring its complaints of having not joined the battle so he could pat Grey's head also.

If they were shocked previously, this act from Rex exploded their brains.

"He has 2 Advanced mystic beasts?! F*ck!!!"

It was at this moment that they knew that they f*cked up.

It was also at this moment that Aragorn and Princess Elanor came forth to stand beside him, Rex no longer hesitated as he rode the moment and finally spoke.

"From today, there shall be no more Skull Gang".

"From today, this gang shall be called the Berserker Gang and I am the leader. If any warrior here objects to my decision, come out now or forever stay silent".

No warrior dared to walk out and Rex continued.

"From today, the Skull Mansion becomes known as the Berserker Mansion. The Skull Warehouse also becomes known as the Berserker Warehouse".

No one knew who started it first, but after Rex finished his short speech as he predicted, the warriors of the new Berserker Gang started dropping to their knees in respect of their new leader.

The notion of loyalty did not apply to criminals unless they were family to the gang leader. They all came here for benefits and survival, not to be loyal to a leader who did not give a damn about their living or dying.

In their opinion, Rex was a better leader than the Skull Pugilist ever was. He may just be an Intermediate mystic warrior, but he had 2 Advanced mystic beasts.

This was a force stronger than anything that the Skull Pugilist previously represented. With such a powerful leader, their lives ahead would be much easier.

After they paid their respects, an Intermediate mystic warrior came forth to meet Rex. "Gang leader, what should I refer to you as?"

Rex contemplated before replying. "Call me the Blood King".

"Gang leader Blood King, I was the administrator of the previous Skull Gang. I have experience at the job, I hope you can appoint me to the same position".

Rex did not hesitate. "The job is yours but first, I want you to calm the other warriors fast before taking me to your archenemies".

"The Bat Gang?"

Rex raised his eyebrows at the term bat but he nodded. "If they are your archenemies, then yes".

"Understood, Gang leader".

Gavin, Rex's new administrator showed his specialties as he worked fast to get the Berserk Gang up and running. In 30 minutes, he was done as he finally took his 3 superiors to the territory of the Bat Gang.

…

5 minutes later, Rex, Aragorn, Princess Elanor, and Gavin were seated before the leader of the Bat Gang and his subordinates.

"What do you want?" The middle-aged man with bat-like eyebrows asked.

"I at least expected some appreciation". Rex chuckled. "I just killed your archrival, is that not a feat to be appreciated for?"

"You didn't kill him for my own good, you did it for yourself".

"Yes, and no". Rex smiled. "Of course, I admit that I killed him to establish myself in this city but there's a saying that the enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Rex's face turned serious. "You and I know that no matter how strong your Bat Gang currently seems, you are not safe".

"To survive, allies are needed, strong allies".

"I eliminated a rival for you and in exchange, I want us to become allies. The race of the Gundam Shelter is not an individual one, we rise by lifting others up, those that rose to the top have this as their code".

The middle-aged man with bat-like eyebrows kept eye contact with Rex as it seemed like he was still contemplating, making Rex chuckle.

"You know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I and my 2 friends are peak Intermediate mystic warriors with a great chance of leveling up in the near future".

"Also, remember that we are still young".

"Deal!" Gang leader Beastmare finally agreed.

Both gang leaders shook hands and signed a pact together before sharing dinner together. With this, Rex succeeded in building his first foundation for success. It was during the dinner that Rex made a proposal to his first ally.

"I'm searching for a warrior who can manage my gang on my behalf".

The Beastmare was surprised. "But you have Gavin".

"No, I want someone strong enough to at least take care of himself when I can't come immediately. I came here with a lot of ambitions, I can't share my time to manage this gang, I need a fill-in gang leader".

"I want someone capable and smart".

"Hmmm, I can give a few candidates but the repercussions of choosing any of them are yours, not mine, agreed?"

"Of course," Rex smiled.

20 minutes later, Rex and his 2 friends left the territory of the Bat Gang alongside Gavin as they finally went to the newly named Berserk Warehouse.

As soon as he entered the massive warehouse that looked as huge as a fantasy stadium, Aragorn sniffed the air as a wide smile came over his face.

"This is mine, this is all mine!" He grinned like a maniac.

Rex smiled at Aragorn's antics as he turned to face Gavin. "How much do we have in our treasury?"

"Approximately 18 million Gundam Shelter Credits".

Rex turned back to face Aragorn. "Well, that's all yours".

Aragorn was shocked. "Seriously?"

"Yeah, what are bros for?" Rex chuckled before adding. "Just make sure that your workshop makes money for us in the future as a return for the investment".

"That's a surety". Aragorn grinned.

Once Aragorn got his hands on the account, he offloaded every random thing away from the warehouse as he finally started his ultimate workshop creation.

2 weeks later, there was a new mechanic workshop in the city called the Berserk Mechanic Workshop.

With this, they finally built the basic foundations to start their quest of overcoming all odds and rising to the top.
