Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

The basics of channeling mystic energy.

Once Ben asked this extremely important question, Rex could not help but go red in the face. The reason for his reaction was because this was the most basic and important information that mystic warriors knew going into any mission.

Of course, like his fellow students, he knew this important information in his head for years, but it was eroded with time following all his life encounters.

After missing what others referred to as the golden age of awakening mystic energy, Rex thought he already missed his opportunity forever.

And the basics of channeling mystic energy were useful for only mystic warriors, this was the reason why he forgot this important information.

At this moment, Rex felt a little like Ben. Ben was known by all as the slightly knuckle-headed one, but at this moment, he also felt embarrassingly boneheaded.

Now that he needed it, but feeling the smug look radiating from his friend, Rex refrained from asking Ben, he believed that he could recall the information himself. He was under a time limit but his pride was at stake here.

He spent a precious minute before he recalled the information.

According to the teachings that were imparted by the Obedin Mystic Academy, mystic energy needed to be channeled before it could be used.

Before trying to channel mystic energy, it was important to know the different types. Mystic energy was divided into 3 main types, elemental mystic energy, domain mystic energy, and unique mystic energy.

Elemental mystic energy was the most popular and widespread.

Newly awakened mystic energy is heterogeneous with no specific attribute, but they change into any of the 3 types after the user awakens a mystic ability.

Elemental mystic energy was those that were used by mystic warriors like Cassandra and Ben who awoke elemental mystic abilities.

Domain mystic energy was the least popular one in this era. This is the mystic energy that is used by mystic warriors like Rex who channel their mystic energy through a specific battle domain.

In essence, mystic ability was the means for mystic warriors to channel their mystic energy but it was not the only means. Mystic warriors could also channel their mystic energy through battle domains.

Battle domains are comprehended after mystic warriors dedicate years of their lives to studying a specific mystic weapon type and developing a bond with the weapon domain.

Domain mystic warriors fall into this category. They fight by channeling their mystic energy through their battle domains and weapons.

The main reason why in their first duel in the virtual domain, Rex had to give in to Cassandra's forceful stab when the duel just started was because the virtual domain still registered his mystic energy as heterogeneous.

This would remain so until he channeled and made use of it in its domain form in real life and a real battle.

The last of the 3 types of mystic energy, the unique mystic energy was also popular but was the least widespread among the 3.

They are the least widespread because of their harsh conditions to awaken. Like elemental mystic energy, it is channeled by mystic warriors who awaken mystic ability but only by those who awaken special mystic abilities.

Special mystic abilities like those related to the soul, shadow, light, and a lot of other unconventional energies, and those with mystic abilities like these most often than not belong to a mystic family.

With the 3 types of mystic energy known, information about how to channel it could finally be learned.

Mystic energy was stored in the area around the brain.

With each awakening, humanity studied this energy extensively till they discovered this. The human brain was extremely vital in awakening mystic energy, and it was already confirmed that non-sentient life could not awaken it.

Mystic beasts mutate through an entirely different mystic energy system.

Once mystic energy was awoken, it settles in the area around the brain.

Mystic warriors learn with time to get better control over their mystic energy, and to also improve its quality, this was the way to get stronger and increase through the ranks of mystic warriors.

To channel mystic energy, the first requirement for the mystic warrior was to focus. After entering a state of absolute concentration, the mystic warrior tries to actively manipulate the mystic energy that resides in his head.

The procedure was similar to a kid just learning to walk.

Through repeated trials and failures, mystic warriors get better at it until they can instinctively manipulate the mystic energy that was stored in their heads.

After learning the basic steps of manipulation, this was when the next step of channeling it outwards through either a mystic ability or battle domain comes.

Most especially for mystic warriors wielding domain mystic energy, it was recommended that they use the weapons of the specific domain that they were dedicated to since it made energy channeling easier.

As for those wielding elemental and unique mystic energy, the recommended method was through specific mind programming techniques.

For example, in Collins's case, the student learned to channel his energy outwards by placing both his hands in a specific posture.

Once the brain registers this posture, it instinctively moves and channels mystic energy on behalf of the mystic warrior once the posture was made.

This was why it was said that mystic energy channeling relied a lot on imagination, and those who could do it better were always the intelligent ones.

Once mystic energy was channeled outwards, then the final hurdle was passed and it could finally be controlled to attack an opponent.

The control part to attack an opponent was the easiest of all. Once mystic energy appears outwardly, it is completely under the control of its creator and could be used to attack like weapons.

When Rex just awoke mystic energy during his small skirmish with Collins, his mystic energy was white then which meant it was still heterogeneous.

But after he got his living sword, his mystic energy turned into a golden white color which revealed its affiliation to the sword domain.

These were the basics of channeling mystic energy.

Though Rex already channeled his mystic ability before, that was in a virtual setting, it was completely different from doing it in reality.

To avoid mistakes that could lead to death, Rex decided to do it again now.

Shing!

With one smooth draw, his basic alloy sword was in his hand as he closed his eyes and concentrated in a bid to manipulate his mystic energy.

At first, focusing on his head and trying to search for an elusive energy felt weird, but with time, he got used to it until he finally caught it. Carefully, Rex manipulated his mystic energy to seep down from his head.

Once it got to his hand, his eyes opened as a white golden glow covered his sword the next moment, causing the sword to vibrate intensely.

Ha!

Rex thrust forward as golden sword energy was unleashed by the sword.

"…"

"Freak!" Ben exclaimed. "You did it in one go!"

​ "Yeah, I did". Rex turned to direct a smug look at his friend.

"Now, let's go hunt some pork meat".

"Hell yeah!"
