Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman-Chapter 11 The Hunt! [1]

Once Rex and his friends completed all the preparations that they needed for the hunt, they departed. With the proficiency that Rex just showed with mystic energy, Ben could not wait to start the beast hunt.

From their current location to the beast sanctum took approximately 5 minutes, and this was enough time for Rex to explain his hunt plan.

"Ben, listen, this is my plan".

"Since we have only about 1 hour 30 minutes to complete this hunt, I tried to come up with the most time economical plan possible".

"You remember when we were kids when we hunted lizards for game?"

"Oh, the lizadry hunt?!"

"Yeah". Rex grinned. "That is my plan for this pig hunt".

"Lizards are like every other domestic beast; they don't really attract pigs much but this is different if we rub robo aphrodisiac on them".

Ben scratched his head on hearing that, but Rex understood his friend so he explained before Ben could ask.

"Robo aphrodisiac is a special gel-like drug substance that was created by the Beast Research Alliance".

"They were created using the most basic DNA of every beast, and they serve as attractions to specific types of beasts that they cannot resist". 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

"The Robo aphrodisiac that I intend to use is specially tailored towards domestic pigs. They're not too effective against mystic beasts, but are extremely effective against domestic beasts".

"With this substance, our trouble on how to meet pigs is settled". f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"The only thing we need to do is go lizardry hunting again. Once we can get about 20 lizards, we'll apply robo aphrodisiac to them all and we're good to go".

Ben still scratched his head. "That's some really awesome plan Rex, but this aphrodisiac," he coughed awkwardly, "how much is it sold for?"

"Ugh, they were specially made to be as affordable as possible to beast hunters but one small bottle still costs 10 shelter credits".

"…"

"Don't worry about that". Rex slapped his friend's shoulder. "I have a plan for that too, just follow me and we'll finish this job in a few minutes".

"I believe you". Ben revealed a wide smile.

"Good!" Rex laughed.

The 2 friends finally sprinted away.

…

Bam!

One precise throw and the missile-like momentum of the stone enabled it to pin the agama lizard to the wall, ending the poor fellow's life.

The bleeding lizard's body twitched a bit before finally turning stiff.

"1st kill!"

Ben yelled enthusiastically as he sprinted closer to the corner where the lizard died before picking it up and keeping it in his small leather bag.

To hunt for lizards, Ben and Rex didn't need to go to a beast sanctum to meet them. All they needed to do was go to a few compounds on the outskirts of the city, and tons of lizards would be waiting for them.

As for how to kill them, this was not a problem, they were experts at it.

They both started their mystic warrior career killing lizards, this was the reason why although they were 18 now, killing lizards was the first solution to their problem that Rex thought of.

Bam!

"2nd kill!"

Bam! Bam!

"20th kill!" "21st kill!"

In the end, the 2 friends killed an additional lizard who was unlucky enough to be fighting with its brother while predators stalked in the dark, which provided them as easy prey to the 2 friends.

Rex and Ben spent only 5 minutes taking care of the bait problem. Once they were done here, they sprinted towards the nearest Beast Alliance stockist center.

…

"You want to buy a robo aphrodisiac on credit?"

"Yes".

The beautiful female attendant looked at the 2 young men before her suspiciously. Seeing their unremarkable clothing and casual demeanor, she shook her head inwardly and was about to speak but was interrupted.

Ben teasingly waved his well-groomed black hair and winked at the beautiful attendant. "We're mystic warriors".

"…"

The lady was surprised as she saw the green energy ball that revolved around the chubby young man's outstretched palm.

Feeling his penetrating gaze, clearly making fun of her amazement, she went red and apologized immediately in a fluster.

"I'm sorry, esteemed warriors".

"It's ok". Ben waved his hands with a bright smile.

After filling some documents while throwing smiling glances at the female attendant throughout, Ben finally completed the aphrodisiac quest.

"Easy Peasy?" He turned to face his friend.

"Cough…, yeah". Rex blushed.

With all the things that they needed for the hunt gathered, the 2 friends no longer lingered in the main city. They didn't have money to take public transport, but they had legs that could do the job.

They erupted in a mad sprint where it took them only 3 minutes before they arrived at the Obedin City Beast Sanctum.

On arriving, Rex and Ben stood still to catch their breath while they admired the spectacle that was before them.

Beast sanctums were controlled forest environments that were artificially made to accommodate mystic beasts, so of course, the Obedin City Beast Sanctum was going to be a huge forest.

Standing before them was a huge gray-colored wall, and extending from the wall was a single-apartment building where a lot of activity currently went on.

This wall was not what prevented the mystic beasts in the forest from attacking the city, there were more sophisticated measures for that. Its sole role here was to provide a unified entry point inside the beast sanctum.

The single-apartment building was the home of the beast sanctum guard who was a rare intermediate mystic warrior.

Inside the building was where beast hunters get hunt permits and badges through the guard's assistants.

To hunt in a beast sanctum, a hunting permit was needed. This was to enable a situation where if one of them that entered the sanctum died, it could be ascertained through the missing hunt permit.

Also, it was to verify the identity of every mystic warrior that enters the sanctum to prevent those with malicious intents from entering brazenly.

At this moment, standing before the single-apartment building were different kinds of people. Students like Rex and Ben, rough-faced beast hunters, and funny-faced clowns were all here to enter the beast sanctum.

Rex and Ben joined the cue where they had to wait for 4 minutes before it came to their turn. Once their identity was confirmed, they got their hunt permit and the 2 friends immediately went racing inside the beast sanctum.

Once they were inside the forest and were covered by tall trees with green leaves from all sides, they slowed down to a crawl.

Rex checked the time.

-4:39pm.
