Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

152 Aragorn's masterwork; Rex's new sword of war

The breakthrough to the Advanced level was more emotional and less physical than Aragorn expected.

He didn't even have to think to know why this was so. Mystic energy was harnessed and developed in the mind, the full mechanisms of controlling mystic energy started from the mind and the will before the physical.

Aragorn felt no physical changes but, in his mind, he was no longer in his workshop. All that was in his sight was the upgraded Berserker.

He was now in a world of pure white light with the upgraded mystic sword being the only notable object in sight. In this world, Aragorn was able to look down at his creation from the perspective of a God.

Aragorn saw this mystic sword in a way that he had never done before for all his other mystic creations.

In this world, every little details were highlighted before him as this enabled him to see Berserker in a new light.

Seeing the intricate details behind the shine of the blade, the glow of the blade, and the silvery sharp edge, Aragorn felt like he was in heaven.

It was when Berserker finally transformed on its own that his epiphany hit a peak. Seeing the upgraded sword in each of its 2 configurations in such great details enabled Aragorn to finally comprehend mysteries that he never knew before.

Instantly, his mechanic knowledge increased to a level that he had never experienced before. He felt like he evolved as a human and it showed.

Boom!

This was when Aragorn finally experienced the physical manifestation of his breakthrough after a sound like that of an exploding nuclear bomb detonated in his head, giving him a splitting headache that caused him to grab his head.

It took more than 2 minutes, but when the ringing sound in his head finally subsided, Rex felt like a new being.

It sounded ridiculous but he was positive that his muscles grew more prominent than a few minutes ago. His mental capacity seemed to have experienced a great increase, and most of all was his fingers' dexterity.

As a ranged mystic warrior whose main weapons were his Blood Pistols, finger dexterity was one of the main things that Aragorn trained to master.

Now, if his APM was a few hundreds before, he now felt that his APM already increased to an incredible level of over a thousand.

Aragorn grabbed his Blood Pistols and he felt the difference. He felt that now, he could pull the trigger 12 times in 1 second and each shot would be far more accurate than his previous peak as an intermediate mystic warrior.

Aragorn clenched his fists. "Coming to the Gundam Shelter was really the best decision, Berserker was a great contributor also".

After years of embarking on this journey to avenge his master, Aragorn felt ecstatic as he finally took another step forward by becoming an Advanced mystic warrior. He felt closer to his goal more than ever before.

If he had the luxury, Aragorn would have wanted to party all day to celebrate his breakthrough but he did not have it as he went back to work.

After giving the finishing touches to Berserker, Aragorn gave the honor of handing the sword over to its client to one of his male assistants.

As for him, he wanted to go master his new strength as soon as possible.

Once the news got to Rex that Berserker's upgrade was complete, for a few seconds, he felt like he was swimming. As the very first treasure that he got from his family's inheritance, Berserker had a special place in his heart.

As he laid his eyes on the new sheath that Aragorn crafted for the living sword, Rex was enchanted as he instinctively motioned forward to caress it.

"Shing!" "Shing!"

Rex was left speechless. "Hey! Can't I at least savor you first?"

"Shing…, who gives a damn?! F*cking train with me already! I also want to see how badass I am currently don't you think…?"

"…"

Mid-sentence, Berserker paused as Rex was already left completely speechless. The sword remained rigid as Rex stared at it stunned, as for the assistant mechanic, this poor warrior was left looking in horror.

Rex turned to smile at him awkwardly. "Haha, it's an artificial effect"

"Oh…" The warrior vocalized before smiling weirdly, he did not wait as he quickly asked for permission before leaving the Berserk Mansion.

Alone with the sword now, Rex finally turned to face it. "You can speak and communicate with me normally now?"

"Shing!"

"Don't f*ck with me, speak like you just did!"

"Shing…"

Rex glared at it.

"Umm, ok". The sword emitted a weird unnatural vibe as it spoke. "I also didn't know that I could speak normally, I wanted you to use me to train immediately and, in my agitation, it just came to me naturally".

"Ohhh…" Rex rubbed his small growing beards in thought.

He didn't think long before giving up though. Just like Berserker was enthusiastic about it, he was also hyped to make use of his upgraded sword in battle to see the new variations that he could add to his fighting style.

Before training with Berserker though, Rex had one more important task to take care of and that was checking Berserker's new system status.

Berserker's system status did not experience any meteoric increase in basic attributes, what it instead gained was the new mechanical abilities.

With Aragorn having explained the different mechanical abilities to him in details already, Rex was not clueless after seeing them outlined by his system.

What instead surprised him was the fact that Berserker actually got upgraded to become a masterpiece work.

After becoming sworn brothers with Aragorn, they both tended to reveal some of their secrets to each other when they were alone.

It was during one of these rare moments that Aragorn revealed his ambition of creating a masterwork mystic treasure. According to Aragorn, creating masterworks was one of the criteria to grading mystic mechanics.

Once a masterwork is created, both the mystic treasure and the mystic mechanic who was in charge of creating it enjoy great benefits.

In Aragorn's case, it was what gave him the epiphany and what enabled him to go to the world of his mind where he saw Berserker in such a simplified manner which later culminated into him becoming an Advanced mystic warrior.

As for Berserker, it's future growth potential already increased again.

According to Aragorn, a mystic treasure could either experience an exponential increase in basic stats immediately after becoming a masterwork or the improvements are all accumulated to be unleashed on its next upgrade.

From Berserker's status, clearly the 2nd scenario was what it experienced. Despite this though, Rex was still super satisfied by his brother's creation.

Shing!

Once Rex grabbed Berserker's hilt, he felt the difference. After unsheathing it, he felt such a close affinity with his sword that he had never felt before.

Berserker resonated with Rex in a way that he had not experienced before.

Without any further ado, Rex threw the sheath to a corner as he ordered the A.I of his personal training chamber to release robots for a fast-training session.

After grabbing Berserker, Rex knew that he already entered a special state and he believed that in this state, he could break a lot of his previous records.

Once the robots were ready and the training session began, Rex was like a Demon Asura who was imprisoned for a thousand years and finally found freedom.

He unleashed all the accumulated anger of loneliness on the robots. Berserker flowed like water in Rex's hand as he rampaged through the robots.

Not even one of the robots was able to touch the helm of his clothes as he simply swept through them like a hot knife slicing through butter.

For this training session, Rex originally already hit a time limit of 18 minutes but this time, he finished the training session after 12 minutes.

This was an astonishing 6-minute increase.

After the training session, Rex stared at the sword. "Oh boy, I'm beginning to love you more and more".
