Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Wom! Wom! Wom!

Civilians of Obedin City were still sleeping peacefully when their slumber was disturbed by the loud tolling of several bells and alarm blasts which broke the silence of the previously cool morning.

No explanation was given to the civilians as dozens of military vehicles invaded the streets while the soldiers yelled out orders, prompting the civilians to go hide in the underground shelters.

The civilians needed no explanation though; this was the age of awakening.

After all the death and suffering that were already wrath by mystic beasts since their invasion started, civilians learned to respect the opinion of soldiers no matter how unpleasant they sounded to the ears.

No one dared to complain as they all obeyed the orders of the soldiers and followed their directives to orderly enter the underground shelters.

While this happened, even more military vehicles sped past the streets and highways as all military forces were mobilized to the collision zone.

Immediately after the message was relayed through John, Sergeant Gaud did not dare to delay as he relayed the information to his superiors.

Once the superiors got the news, they reacted fast as they gave orders after calculating the possible collision points of the invading beasts with the city.

As John suggested, a Code Red alert was initiated across the army.

All the soldiers that were present in the city were mobilized to the city gates while priority orders were sent to those who were outside the city to return.

The city defenses were already activated as energy shields were erected to support the city\'s protective walls. The South gate was calculated to be the main collision point and that was where the soldiers were ordered to gather.

The Obedin City army was not alone though in the protection of the city. When Obedin City\'s survival was really threatened, the whole city would react and this included all the organizations that were not run by the city\'s government.

The Mystic Hunter Union and other famous mystic organizations that settled to build branches in Obedin City joined the rally for battle as they emerged with their warriors, and this was when Ben made his debut.

Being the forerunners when it came to mystic beast-related matters, the Mystic Hunter Union had a higher speaking power in this mobilization.

Ben\'s elite hunter team was one of the first to get to the city walls. Once they climbed the ramparts and stood on the city walls, they finally got to see the threat that faced Obedin City.

Ben sucked in a deep breath of air as he saw such a massive army of mystic beasts that he had never seen all his life.

The Spider Swamp was more than 10 times bigger than Obedin City; its population was no joke. Over 10,000 beasts trooped towards the city.

Swamp Spiders, Mud Pythons, Slippery Foot Rabbits, Wild Boars, Mud Lizards, these were just a part of the unstoppable beast army that was stampeding towards the city.

This invasion did not just involve land beasts. The sky far away in the distance was filled with different unnatural colors, colors of the beasts now dominating it.

Thunder Crows, Iron-beaked Hawks, and Fire-breathing Falcons dominated the skies as they swooped towards Obedin City intending to flatten it.

This was not the first beast invasion attempt that Obedin City had experienced, but from Ben\'s history knowledge, this was probably the biggest.

Ben felt that the whole Spider Swamp came out for this invasion.

Despite the confidence test that the sight of so many beasts put them through, Ben, the other hunters, and the soldiers stood their ground as they started preparing themselves for the inevitable collision with the beasts.

The weapons on the protective walls started being activated, but most especially, space was made for the all-important mystic warriors to exercise their strength since they literally trained most of their lives to fight mystic beasts.

The mystic warriors stood closest to the walls. On their hands were mystic swords, and other different mystic weapons, but predominantly at the moment were daggers that they could throw since the battle was still at a range.

From the faces of the soldiers, like Ben, they were also shaken by the sheer number of invading beasts but being veterans who already survived multiple beast invasions, they stood their ground.

Apart from the mystic warriors who were at the front, the non-mystic warriors stood behind them in the wall wielding different weapons of technology.

Sub-machine guns, rail guns, laser guns, kinetic rifles, and a lot of others. With hands filled with sweat, they focused their aims on the incoming beasts.

"They will step over our corpses before they can even think of invading our city!" A Captain on the wall yelled to increase the morale of the soldiers.

"For our children!"

"For our families!"

"FOR OBEDIN CITY!!!"

Everything was happening so fast; the fight would start in at most 2 minutes but this was when a massive hissing sound reverberated from far away.

The distance was probably all the way from the Spider Swamp but every soldier shuddered, this was the war-cry of an advanced mystic beast!

The Spider Swamp had 3 alphas; this was the voice of one of them.

As soon as the hiss sounded, the beasts increased their speed and they collided against the wall the next moment. After collision came battle!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All hell broke loose as the battle first started with the long-range weapon being used to hammer the beasts. Apart from mystic development, humanity already developed a lot technologically and it showed.

Different hot weapons were used to batter the beasts from afar but all these did was slow their approach, they soon started climbing the walls after breaching the massive energy shields that previously protected them.

Led by the intermediate mystic beasts, the beat tide was unstoppable.

While this tug of war continued, the aerial beasts finally flew over into the city. Once they did, the formation of the soldiers was disrupted a bit.

This was the tipping point that rapidly accelerated the beast\'s advance.

The next moment, both land and aerial beasts invaded Obedin City as the fight started for real. The sheer number of the beasts was too much, there was no way that they could stem their approach in the wall.

Once the beasts invaded the city, blood finally started being spilled as soldiers and beasts clashed in a bloody struggle.

With his new mystic sword and his 8 mystic rings, Ben was among the soldiers that brawled with the beasts as he yelled before diving into battle.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Claws and swords collided as the war between man and beast continued.

In no time, the beast invaded deep enough that they finally started getting access to the civilians. Everything happened too fast, it was impossible for every civilian to have been evacuated as civilian deaths started being recorded.

For the first 2 hours, the battle progressed in complete favor of the beasts as they invaded deeper into Obedin City while spreading more destruction.

After the 2-hour mark though, the city\'s defenders finally found their rhythm as they brought things to a stalemate though they were still the losing side.

All Obedin City\'s hopes were on reinforcements that Principal Dominic of the Obedin Mystic Academy already requested from their allies.

The Principal and the real powerhouses of the city didn\'t show up yet because the beasts had not presented their best yet.

Despite this, the beasts were still the winning side.
