Rex became the leader of the Blood Spartan Tribe.

Once the Blood Ritual was over, under Clan Head Goku's order, the whole tribe went into a jubilatory mood to commemorate the transfer of power.

Ever since the inception of the Blood Spartan Tribe, there had only been 1 Clan Head, 1 Army Commander, and the 5 Generals who latter rose up after realizing their talents and becoming Super mystic warriors.

For the first time in centuries, this order was finally broken and not by the expected son of the Clan Head Zuko nor by a Super mystic warrior who was stronger than Clan Head Goku, but by the child of prophecy.

For a long time, after centuries of receiving no help or communication from their ancestors who sent them here, the vampires of the Blood Spartan Tribe already learned to remove their minds from home to prevent heartbreaks.

The only thing that kept them going was the child of prophecy, and finally, not only did he come, he fulfilled his potential and claimed the seat of leadership over the Blood Spartan Tribe.

The verdict that followed the 20 original warriors that were sent from earth was that, after the arrival of the child of prophecy, light would finally come.

Light in this term meant that they would finally get hope of leaving the terrible planet, Tioron. All that Rex needed to do now was to safely return to earth, work hard, and pave the way for their return home.

"Did the Sword Saint or Lord Asuka leave any clues to guide me?" Rex asked Clan Head Goku as he sipped on the local blood refined wine.

-----

You have consumed a Special Wine: Blood Nectar

Your Vampire Hunter abilities have experienced a slight increase

Your constitution bonuses have experienced a 0.001% increase

----

Just by drinking this wine, Rex's constitution bonuses and his Vampire Hunter abilities increased, this was all the validation that he needed to get himself drunk.

At this moment, as the whole tribe celebrated, so also did Rex and the other higher-ups of the Blood Spartan Tribe and was where he finally asked the question about any clues to guide him that may have been left by their ancestors.

After becoming the leader of the Blood Spartan Tribe, his next important priority became paving the way for them to return home to earth.

The Blood Spartan Tribe was an incredible force that if their return home was successful could bolster his strength in ridiculous ways that would enable him to fulfill goals that he did not dare place emphasis on before.

Even if it was not to fulfill his trust for Lord Asuka, just the prospect of having such a powerful mystic tribe at the beck of his call was too tantalizing to miss.

He was determined to achieve great things on earth with the Blood Spartan Tribe. Afterall, by becoming their leader, he just acquired another powerful enemy. 𝒇𝘳ℯℯ𝚠𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜ѵ𝑒𝙡.co𝑚

Apart from perhaps the Holmes family, his 2nd greatest enemy now was the strongest mystic swordsman of mankind, Sword Saint Miyamoto Musashi himself.

His only problem was that he had no access to such ridiculously high-grade technology that could enable him to transport hundreds of mystic warriors over light years across the infinite cosmos.

For a mission this great, he hoped that he had at least some clues.

To Rex's disappointment though, the Clan Head, Army Commander, and 5 Generals didn't have any clues that were left by their ancestors.

Clan Head Goku rubbed his head and spoke. "Though they didn't tell us about any possible clues, Lord Asuka always said that the greatest task of all was actually finding a compatible mystic warrior to inherit the Sword Saint's inheritance".

"According to him, once the child of prophecy comes, everything else will follow naturally, including how he would free us from Planet Tioron".

On hearing that, Rex went deep in thought. Perhaps, Lord Asuka saying things would follow naturally meant that the clue was in the Sword Saint's inheritance or he had to do everything himself.

No matter which one the answer was, he still needed to return back to earth before he could make further decisions.

Another problem was that Rex had no idea how he was going to be transported back to earth. Besides, according to his estimates, he still had like 14 hours before the end of his 5-day stay on Planet Tioron.

"14 hours…, nice, that's enough for me to have a basic tour of the planet…" Rex barely completed what he was saying before his eyes started dropping close.

As an Advanced mystic warrior, he was supposed to be immune to every type of alcohol intoxication already but the Blood Nectar was a special case. This special wine was able to take him to the point of intoxication.

Originally, once this happened, the tradition was to let the affected vampire have a nice sleep to put the effects of the wine to better use but not this time.

Having spent the past few days observing him, they already had a basic understanding of him and from his last words before his eyes started dropping close, Clan Head Goku knew that he had no intentions of sleeping.

"Give him the suppressor vinegar". Clan Head Goku ordered.

Once Rex tasted this vinegar, his previously dropping eyes suddenly snapped open and shone like lanterns in a dark night as he became fully awake again.

His innards felt like they were on fire, he asked. "What was that?"

"We call it the suppressor vinegar, it's the only thing that can suppress the intoxication effects of the Blood Nectar".

"Oh, nice".

Rex thanked him before making his intentions known. "I still have like 14 hours before my stay in Planet Tioron comes to an end, I want to make the most out of it, I want to have a basic tour of this planet".

"When I was being brought to the coven by the General and his troop of warriors, they told me a few things about Planet Tioron".

"Through them, I was able to know about the nature of the planet, it's rule for survival, and some of the major powers that dominate here".

"Through them, I was able to know about the gigantic Dalkins, the horrifying Erodites, and the humanoid Manians".

"Haha, actually, throughout my whole life staying on earth, I never heard of the phenomenon nor did I believe that there were other planets out there that were inhabitable by humans".

"Since I didn't believe that, I also didn't believe in the existence of other intelligent indigenous races that were self-dependent and developed like humans".

"Before I leave Planet Tioron, I want to see the Dalkins, the Erodites, and the Manians properly, I want to get to know them".

"I…" Rex paused and didn't complete his sentence, a smile lit up his face as another reason for wanting to see them was so that he could brag to Aragorn and Elanor about it.

"Also, I want to use that opportunity to use and try mastering one of the Special Abilities that were created by Sword Saint Minato Musashi".

Once Clan Head Goku heard the name of the Sword Saint, he bowed reverently. "Leader, a young warrior team will be assembled to escort you shortly".

"Enjoy your time in Planet Tioron".

Planet Earth, the Great River of Gold…

Inside a dark enclosement that seemed like a cave, through the little illumination that was available, a hand scribbled on the cave wall and a voice accompanied, narrating the contents of the scribbling. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

"Day 5 in Ben Carter's Logbook…"

"Despite all my efforts, I'm still stuck and stranded in the Great Desert".

"Enemies from all sides are still on a rampage looking for the weak to prey on, beasts are also on the look-out for reckless strays to devour, living remains hard, survival still seems to be hanging by the tip of the thread".

"Hidden and starving, my options keep running low…"

"Should I go out and join the fight? Should I stay holed up in my cave hidden? The dilemma of survival keeps on getting complicated as the hunger lingers".

"Everyday, the cave seems to get darker, perhaps an indication of my darkening fate that inches closer to hell every passing moment".

"I feel like a coward, but to survive, I must suppress my ego".

"There is a time to fight, there is a time to not fight, and there is a time to run and hide…"

"Those who fight and run away lives to fight another day…"

"These 2 are my only saving graces from not dying from shame of my situation yet but…, I don't think I can continue".

"If I stay a few more days like this, my chances of dying will increase".

"Sigh…"

"I have made a decision".

"I will return to the surface, fight the other contestants, and pave a way of escape for myself out of this godforsaken desert!"

"If I perish, I perish!"

With that, after 5 days of holing himself up inside this cave licking his wounds, Ben finally got the courage that he needed to stand up and face his fears.

He marched out of the cave with his sword still being his only companion.
