Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Unlike Rex, after the team battle started, Cassandra did not decide to start fighting opponents immediately nor did she decide to look for her friends.

Cassandra had an extremely stable personality, if there was another slightly safer choice that was more complicated to solve a problem, she would gladly take the stable and complicated route rather than take risks.

Once she was teleported inside the Hillbilly Forest, she came up with a plan on how to survive and tide through the battle.

She was not as strong as Rex; she knew her limits and power level which was the main reason why she decided to spend the first few minutes after teleporting here to build the surrounding terrain in her favor.

If the terrain was in her favor, her chances of victory in a clash would increase exponentially. This was her plan to tip the scales in her favor.

Building the surrounding terrain did not necessarily mean build, she spent the first few minutes getting used to the terrain. She marked here as her territory, trying to get used to all the notable factors as fast as possible.

Once she succeeded in stabilizing this location as her territory, instead of moving out, she instead opted to release clues that a student was in here.

This was how she lured her first prey.

The first student that she fought against was a taijutsu user, the student was slightly stronger than her, overwhelming her swordsmanship with pure martial arts and outstanding control over mystic energy but she won in the end.

By combining the home ground advantage with some traps that she already set beforehand, she succeeded in eliminating her first opponent.

Her 2nd opponent was eliminated even faster. This male student was weaker than her and paired with her methods, the poor student stood no chance.

After securing her first 2 kills, she became a lot bolder as she employed more means to attract students to this location. To her dismay though, the first 2 students that were attracted were entirely because they were close by.

For the next few minutes, no single prey took her bait.

She waited and waited till she became bored, despite this, she did not decide to suddenly change her plan radically since this course of action was stabler.

After what felt like no students would come her way again, her luck finally seemed to shine as from afar, she heard the sounds of footsteps heavily hitting the forest floor which indicated a student probably running.

Instantly, she became awake again as she set her eyes on her prey.

To her shock though, when the footsteps came close enough for her to see the silhouettes of her new prey, she saw Rex.

Cassandra was confused at first about why Rex was running in a dangerous forest like this, exposing himself to all the other students but she soon understood on seeing the 4 students that were going after him.

She only had to think for a few seconds before she sprang into action.

"Run through the intertwining vines, keep your feet light as you run!"

While yelling instructions, Cassandra unsheathed her sword and stabbed it at one of the thick vines of the trees making up the forest as she jumped and started sliding down the top of the tree through this.

Cassandra's territory was a part of the forest that was mostly filled with long vines. This played a significant role in the flexibility of her plans.

Once Rex ran into the first cluster of intertwining vines that were before him, he slowed down slightly as he tried to reduce his weight that was being transferred through his feet to the barest minimum.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

He ran through the cluster of vines without incurring any reaction or damage, and this was all due to the light steps that he took on it throughout.

It was when Rhode Foster and her 3 teammates ran through the cluster of intertwining vines in pursuit that they faced Cassandra's meticulous setup.

Rhode Foster felt the danger as soon as she took her first step inside the cluster of intertwining vines. She heard when Cassandra gave Rex a hint, but she instinctively dismissed it since it was not directed at her.

Now, she and her teammates paid for it.

Whoosh!

The originally motionless vines suddenly started swinging wildly, as some of them even opened deadly rows of teeth that were ready to bite the students into oblivion by their sheer length alone.

On seeing the vines that suddenly seemed to come alive, Cassandra was stunned. "Swamp Vine Monster!"

Hillbilly Forest was a tourist forest that had an astonishing record of 0 casualties each year despite the numerous dangers that were involved.

The forest was an extremely controlled one, but this did not mean that it was not dangerous, it only meant that the methods employed by the owners to protect tourists were more meticulous than the ways of the predators.

Apart from mystic beasts, mystic plants also populated Hillbilly Forest.

Mystic plants were plants who mutated, some gaining intelligence by absorbing mystic energy. This vine monster was one of them, its deadly rows of teeth and its numerous vine tentacles were its mutations.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Swamp Vine Monster did not think before it started attacking the opponents. Rhode Foster and her 3 teammates were only surprised for a short while though as they changed to the defensive the next moment.

All of them were already channeling their mystic energy, creating skills that they used to start cutting the vine monster apart but Cassandra already arrived.

Once the Vine Monster attacked, Rex already understood Cassandra's plan, their battle synergy was just that horrifyingly good as he turned and pounced on his pursuers the next moment alongside her.

"Sword Skill: Boomerang Slash!"

While already being preoccupied with the Swamp Vine Monster, suddenly being attacked by 2 mystic warriors left Rhode and her teammates a little flustered.

Cassandra descended as she instantly channeled her mystic ability, unleashing a barrage of sword strikes that were all empowered by her earth mystic ability while Rex released sword energies, spamming them everywhere.

Berserker's basic mystic weapon effect was controlling sword energy.

It was what enabled the trick that Rex used to defeat his first opponent, now, Rex used it again as he manipulated the sword energies flying at his 4 opponents, adjusting them to make them a lot more lethal.

Despite being cornered, turning from the hunter to the hunted in just a few seconds, the talented light ability user, Rhode Foster recovered and stood her ground. With her mystic ability, her speed was horrifying.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

With her light spear, Rhode Foster used the advantage of her mystic ability to the fullest. Her speed was so terrifying that she left a blur when she moved.

With her going all out, none of her teammates were eliminated immediately as they finally found a moment of reprieve to recover and rejoin the battle.

Foster's barrage soon put an end to the Swamp Vine Monster's life, but her 2 opponents proved to be as annoying as a bug.

Rex's versatile and extremely mighty technique, paired with Cassandra's preparation and understanding of this region, they were both able to give their opponents constant surprises that frustrated them.

Cassandra was like a Pandora's box; she was calm all the time as she pulled one trick after the other out of her box of tricks.

The battle continued intensely like this for 5 minutes before both sides finally started slowing down after suffering some minor injuries.

The battle surprisingly was a stalemate.
