My Dracula System: Rise Of A Warrior

Encountering An Advanced Tier Beast

As the students stepped through the teleporter, they felt a strange sensation, like their molecules were being rearranged. When they opened their eyes, they found themselves in a small room with another teleporter, identical to the one Mr. Leo had activated.

The room was stocked with food supplies, weapons, and medical equipment. The walls of the shelter were made thick, with a double glatherium door. Glatherium was a substance that was harder than metal, making it the perfect material for a shelter.

The shelter was powered by solar panels, which were installed on the roof. The second-year students opened the doors, and the students stepped outside into the bright sunlight.

As they looked around, they noticed that they were at the foot of a massive mountain, which towered above them. The shelter was the only building in sight, and the students felt a sense of excitement and trepidation.

One of the five second-year students, a tall and confident young man, greeted the students and introduced himself as Paul.

"Welcome, everyone," Paul said, his voice clear and authoritative. "I've been here before to carry out exercises, and I can tell you that teamwork has always been the key to winning. So, I want to remind you all to play fair and square, even though this is a competition."

Paul paused, surveying the students.

"The team that deals the final kill blow has the right to collect the beast crystals. An intermediate crystal is five points, an advanced tier crystal is ten points, the points double, the higher the tier.

So, let's get started! You have until the countdown is over to collect as many crystals as you can. Good luck, and let's go!"

With that, Paul sent the teams out, and everyone went in their own direction. Rylan, Drake, and John headed straight into the forest around the mountain, ready to hunt beasts.

As they walked, Rylan felt a sense of excitement and nervousness. He had never been on a hunt before, and he wasn't sure what to expect.

But with Drake and John by his side, he felt a sense of confidence. Even though they were a team, they were going to work together to collect as many crystals as they could.

"Let's do this," Drake said, grinning at his friends.

“I'll take the front, John, how good is your ability?” Drake asked.

“ For now, I can fire small chunks of Earth towards my opponent.” John replied.

“Good, you will be our long range attacker, you'll attack from afar.” Drake said.

He turned to Rylan. “ As for you, Rylan, you will be our last line of defense. Your gauntlets are perfect to deliver the finishing blow.” Drake said.

They all nodded and headed deeper into the forest. Suddenly, the team encountered their first group of beasts.

 The beasts were six in number, and they were a type of wolf-like creature known as "Shadow Stalkers." The Shadow Stalkers had the ability to blend into the shadows, making them nearly invisible in the dimly lit forest, then they would pounce out to strike with their deadly claws and sharp teeth.

Drake, with his gravitos ability, took the lead. He used his power to manipulate the gravity around him, creating a localized gravity field that made it difficult for the Shadow Stalkers to move.

John, with his earth manipulation ability, stood at a distance, firing small chunks of earth at the Shadow Stalkers. The earth projectiles didn't deal much damage, but they helped to distract the Shadow Stalkers and disrupt their attacks.

Rylan, with his agility and martial arts skills, darted between the Shadow Stalkers, using his gauntlet's deadly claws to strike at their vulnerable spots. However, his heart condition began to act up, and he found himself growing tired quicker than he had anticipated.

Despite their individual strengths and weaknesses, the team worked together seamlessly, using their unique abilities to take down the Shadow Stalkers one by one.

As they defeated the last Shadow Stalker, the team let out a collective sigh of relief. They had worked together and had come out on top.

"Not bad," Drake said, grinning at his teammates. "We make a pretty good team."

Rylan nodded, feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. "We definitely do."

John smiled, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "And we're just getting started. Let's go find some more beasts to hunt!"

The team laughed. They sliced open the chest of the beasts, and collected the six crystals before resuming on their journey.

As the team continued to hunt, they came across the girls, who were standing triumphantly over a pile of beast crystals.

 Rylan noticed that Kyra's sword was emitting the faint glow as it used to, with black blood making the glow barely visible.

That's when he realized that it was at least an advanced tier sword, far surpassing the intermediate tier weapons that his team had. And that was why the girls had made so much progress. He remembered Colonel Glenn's words about how weapons could make him stronger, and now he has seen it first hand.

He made up his mind that one day, he would get a better weapon.

Kyra caught Rylan's gaze and smiled smugly. "Looks like we're doing pretty well, huh?" she said. "You guys might want to look for another spot. This one's already been cleaned out."

Drake snorted. "Whatever," he said, and the team headed deeper into the forest.

As they walked, John spoke up, his voice laced with concern. "Guys, isn't this a bit dangerous? We're going deeper into the forest, and we don't know what kind of beasts we'll run into."

Drake shrugged. "We have no choice. We need to get as many crystals as we can, and that means taking risks."

Suddenly, a beast stepped out of the underbrush, its eyes fixed on the team. It was twice their height, and its massive body was covered in thick, scaly skin. The team exchanged nervous glances, and John whispered, "What is that thing?"

The beast was a "Groteus," a type of advanced tier beast that was known for its incredible strength and its ability to manipulate the earth. The Groteus could create massive earthquakes and tremors, making it a formidable opponent.

Drake's eyes narrowed as he sized up the beast. "It's strong, but it's alone," he said. "We have the number advantage. Let's take it down!"

The rest of the team nodded, feeling nervous.

The team decided to use the same strategy they have been using on the rest of the intermediate beast.

John shot out Earthly projectiles, but the best responded with its own projectiles which were way larger and harder than John's own.

“Watch out!" Rylan called out, feeling concerned for John. Luckily John saw the incoming attack on time, and dodged.

As they fought, the team did their best to take down the beast, but it seemed to be too powerful for them. Despite their valiant efforts, they were unable to deal a significant blow to the beast.

Drake accessed the situation and saw that at this rate, they would run out of energy, and out of ability cells to use.

Determined to emerge victorious, he decided to charge in alone. The beast, sensing its opportunity, disturbed the ground beneath Drake's feet, causing him to stumble.

“Blake be careful,” Rylan yelled in concern. He felt so useless, all he could do was stand there and watch his team mates risk their lives, when he couldn't help.

However, Drake refused to give up. He knew that he had to kill the beast if he wanted to protect his teammates. He decided to sacrifice all of his ability cells, which would take time to regenerate.
