Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

"Your love?" Rex raised an eyebrow.

Rex felt goosebumps instantly after this massive Naga called him love. Even for Cassandra who he crushed on for 90% of his life, she had only called him love once and that was after they admitted their feelings for each other.

Hearing this sensitive word from this Naga, Rex felt like he was walking on pin needles. For the first few seconds after that, he simply lost balance.

But in every Rex's losing balance, his brain was always active.

The first question that came to his mind was why did this Naga call him her love? At the first second of asking this question, he was confused.

Rex had to think deeper into the deepest parts of his memory before he got his first clue. Once he got his first clue, the 2nd soon followed and in no time later, he started piecing all the clues together.

Rex looked at his surroundings as he thought. On seeing the setting of this underground city and his companions that were captured alongside him, his eyes finally lit up a bit as he seemed to have arrived at the truth.

'Perhaps, I finally found the reason for my bad luck since coming here'.

Rex vividly remembered the day that he stepped foot into the Great River of Gold 2 months ago. From that day, the goddess of luck finally seemed to turn her bosom of luck away from him to feed another lucky soul.

For some reason, he felt like he was targeted as beasts came for him from all over the desert. The even more baffling fact was that some of the more intelligent ones among the beasts didn't try to kill him, they instead tried to capture him.

If it was any other Advanced mystic warrior facing such circumstances, his chances of death in the desert would easily be as high as 99%.

Rex survived only because he was Rex. With his trump cards like his transformed beasts and humanoid warrior, and his talent, he was literally an anomaly in the Advanced mystic level and was why he survived.

No matter how much Rex tried to avoid them, the beasts seemed to actively seek him out from all across the desert which was not normal.

Due to the frequency of attacks from the beasts since coming to the desert, Rex at some point due to frustration associated it to the work of a higher being.

What if he was right? What if the attacks were really the work of a higher being? What if this higher being that frustrated him was this Naga before him?

Rex made all these thoughts, observations, and realizations within 5 seconds, and instantly, he changed his approach and asked again.

"Your love?" This time, he raised his eyebrows even more exaggeratedly.

Till now, he still could not know the real strength of this powerful Naga and was why he easily concluded that he was nowhere near being her match.

Instead of trying to fight a suicidal battle, he simply improvised.

On seeing his confident question despite the circumstances, the Naga Queen finally rose from her throne as her curiosity was piqued.

This massive Naga slithered all the way from her throne till her face was mere inches away from Rex's face. She soon stuck her long tongue out as she gently caressed the young human's face with it.

Surprisingly, this action was not disgusting as the Naga had complete control over her tongue, instead, Rex felt aroused by her actions.

Goosebumps filled his skin again but he forced it all back and smiled. "If you keep on doing that, no one knows if I'll really fall in love, stop it".

The Naga Queen smiled and shifted back. "Interesting, I like you already".

With these subtle risky actions, gestures, and words, Rex was able to set the tempo of this conversation in his favor but he was still very much at risk.

He kept a cool face and hoped that his plan worked.

The Naga Queen quietly stared at him, then the next moment, she gestured with her hand as her throne moved closer towards her. She sat back on it, with the only difference this time being that the throne was closer to Rex than before.

On her throne, she stared fixatedly at Rex and Rex reciprocated without showing any fear, the only thing that threatened him now was her beauty.

Despite her huge and massive snake tail that made her look fearsome, her upper body was an absolute beauty. She could easily give most of the finest human females a run for their money just with her facial beauty alone.

Despite this beauty, Rex was not fooled.

'I refuse to be fooled!' He emboldened himself inwardly as he cooly stared back at her, and it worked as he did not give himself away.

The Queen soon tsked her tongue. "Well, I like you, I want you to be my son".

Then she smiled evilly. "Be my son, and I will be your sugar mommy".

On hearing this, goosebumps threatened to come back but Rex fought them back. "Well, I can do that but I also know that you're lying".

"In ancient history, Desert Nagas are not known for falling in love with boys like me. From what I know, they instead love blood samples more". Rex smiled.

By piecing in clue after clue, and by guiding the queen's words, he was able to steer her in the direction that he wanted to get information from her.

And finally, he succeeded, he was able to get what he wanted.

It almost eluded him but as she tried more to emphasize on her love for him, he finally remembered an ancient myth that Desert Queens loved different blood samples and was why they mostly fell in love with vampires.

Rex was not sure if his dad exaggerated the story, but according to him, if as a vampire your blood is able to please a Naga, you can get her for life.

Rex was not sure but since he had no choice, he decided to take a gamble.

Before the surprised Naga Queen could recover from hearing her inner thoughts being exposed, Rex temporarily revealed his fangs and cut his finger.

As his blood dripped down, he raised it towards the Naga with a smirk on his face. "You want?"

The Naga Queen's face changed, showing slight longing and also irritation as she seemed to hesitate but not for long, she soon disappeared from her throne.

Before Rex could understand what happened, the Naga Queen was already before him and was already sucking his blood through the injury on his finger.

She sucked so hard that his vampire recovery abilities were unable to fight against it. Just 30 seconds later, Rex started feeling lightheaded.

He was shocked. "Stop! Please…"

The next moment, he fainted from blood loss.

…

Rex woke up with a blink.

At this moment, he was inside a room that was surrounded by solidified sand and glass. Besides him were familiar faces, Ben, Grey, Storm, Ambition, and the old sailor who seemed to be Storm's savior.

Rex looked around as John the sailor answered him.

"She already left, she said you should go meet her when you wake up".

p This old sailor smiled. "I advise you go meet her if you love your life".

"Who is she?"

The old sailor sighed. "I never expected to meet her in my lifetime".

"She is rumored to be part of the Primordial Ones".

"Some call her the Red Ruler of Death, others call her Ancient Devourer, few call her the Naga Queen, while majority simply refer to her as the Desert Queen".

"From what I know, she is one of the strongest Mythical mystic beasts alive".

"It is all rumors but I heard that she once had a battle with the Ancient Basilisk and lost, she became severely injured and retreated deep into the desert to recuperate".

"Despite centuries having passed, she still has not returned to her peak".

"I don't know why she wants you but hope it is for good".

The next moment, 6 Nagas armed with mystic weapons slithered into the room. "The Red Ruler seeks your attention".

Rex was quick to take note of the tone, it was soft, polite, and not authoritative. He really hoped that his plan worked as he stood up to leave.

Rex was escorted deep inside the underground city to a large area that was occupied by a mud lake. At this moment, the Desert Queen was bathing in the mud pool as she finally turned to look at Rex.

With her snake tail submerged in the mud, and only her humanoid upper body visible, Rex gulped as the beauty of this Queen was put in full display again.

He held himself only by thinking about the fact that she was probably a few centuries old. "She is old enough to be my great grand mom, so little brother, stay quiet!"

Rex smiled and walked closer. "So, can we negotiate?"

The Naga looked at Rex for a few seconds and sighed. "I know exactly what you're trying to do, but I won't do anything".

She sighed again. "Yeah, I succumb, your blood is damn sweet".

She finally rose out of the mud lake. "So, can we negotiate?"

"Yes". Rex smiled.

She spoke first. "These are my terms, you provide me with your blood anytime that I ask for it, and in return, I allow you to leave the desert alive".

Rex smiled. "Don't you think that is cheating…?"

Rex barely finished before the Naga's eyes turned pitch-black.

Darkness filled the city as she finally flexed her strength for the first time, her mystic energy was still at the peak of the Super Grade but her aura was that of a pinnacle Mythical beast.

Rex was intimidated by her display but he did not show it, he looked her in the eyes. "My father was a vampire, so was my grandfather, and my great grandfather, and so forth and so on, I know a lot about Nagas".

"Since you confessed that my blood is sweet, it means that we are compatible which also means that I can be of much more use to you".

"I know that its not because of the sweetness, your real plan is to recuperate and regain your powers by feeding on my blood".

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, please don't cheat me".

"I also respect you too much to cheat you".

"These are my terms. I provide you with my blood, you let me and my companions leave alive, and we become allies".

Rex looked her in the eyes. "Yes, I mean allies. You are too old; I can't trick you so I'll be plain with you. You're a boss to me, I can't stand up to your level so the best I can do is try to suck up to you and leach from your greatness".

Rex bowed his head. "Please allow me to leach from your powers".

"I'm not demanding anything from you but by becoming allies with you, I believe that with your benevolent mind, things would become easier for me".

The Naga stared fixatedly at Rex then she laughed. "You're really interesting. Well-done, you succeeded in arousing my curiosity again".

"Now, I really want to see what you're made off".

The Naga Queen moved closer for a nefarious act and Rex did not resist. The next moment, she planted her lips on his and kissed him passionately.

Rex did not resist, instead he grabbed her by the waist and reciprocated. As soon as Rex grabbed her, she shuddered but did not resist.

A few seconds later, the Naga Queen separated from the kiss with a bright smile on her face. "I guess I underestimated you".

"Deal!"
