"You removed Ben from his leadership post?"
Rex turned to face his girlfriend with an amused expression on his face. "You really thought Ben was happy being delegated as a leader".
"That guy likes his freedom more than he even like girls".
"Ugh…, you may be right". Cassandra threw her hands and gave up.
Rex's decision to remove Ben from a leadership position was not made on a whim. Apart from considering what Ben liked, he also had his personal motives since he felt Ben was more valuable in a non-leadership position.
After setting some things here in the Gundam Shelter, he intended to engage in some expeditions and Ben was an indispensable friend and ally to accompany him. They understood each other thoroughly and Ben was strong.
Despite it being a few months already since he went to the Great Desert to benefit from the Sword Saint's inheritance, everything remained vivid in his mind.
Rex's determination to rescue the Blood Spartan Tribe still burned.
He would not rest until he found a way to rescue them.
After the speech, as Aragorn already proved his capability to get things done, Rex left every other thing to him as he focused on his own goals.
On returning to his room, he donned his Vampiric Armor and was soon in his full war gear. Rex turned to face Cassandra. "Are you ready?"
"I thought you said you're taking me out?" She frowned. "Who takes a girl out in war gear?"
"Well, that's me". Rex smiled. "Just come closer".
Though Cassandra had a lot of misgivings about Rex's mysterious tourist destination that he had in mind, she shelved her doubts and went closer.
"Today, I'll be taking you to a secret place.
As he spoke, Rex infused his mystic energy into his family heirloom, the Blood Tome as directed by his system as changes started happening.

[You have triggered special teleportation effect of the Blood Tome!]
[Destination Locked-on: Ancient Vector Family Inheritance Ground!]

Bzzz!
The next moment, a brief white light flashed that enveloped the 2 individuals that were in the room. They disappeared in less than a second as the light also faded out, everything happened naturally without causing a commotion.
…
Bzzz!
When Rex reappeared and he regained his vision, he saw himself standing before a familiar massive vampire throne in whose armrest the Blood Tome was once stored. The only difference was that the Blood Pond was gone.
He was back in the dark and gloomy atmosphere of the inheritance ground that was left by his ancestors to aid him in his rise to the peak.
"This is…?" Cassandra asked as she turned around to admire the massive hall with a lot of amenities and technology that stood before her.
She didn't feel any danger here and was why she was calm.
"This is the inheritance ground that was left by my ancestors to aid me". Rex replied as he turned to face her then he pointed at the ground. "A pool of blood is supposed to be here, this is where I became a vampire".
Though she already made a guess on seeing the surroundings, Cassandra was still surprised when Rex confirmed the truth with her.
She trusted Rex completely but she never expected him to bring him to a place as sensitive as this that was connected to his family.
"Wow…, thank you". She didn't know when or even why she said it but as she looked around, the words suddenly came out of her mouth.
She could feel her trust for Rex rising even more.
As she looked, to her shock, the previously empty throne was suddenly occupied by what seemed like the virtual projection of an extremely old man in black robes with long white hair and beards that flowed down his shoulders.
On noticing Cassandra's sudden pause, Rex turned to look and he was shocked. The familiar black robe with red markings snaking through it alone already gave out who this was, he didn't even need to look at his face.
Thud!
Rex knelt down the next moment then he tugged at Cassandra who got the clue and also knelt down alongside him.
Rex clasped his hands together. "Great Ancestor".
Cassandra simply bowed while remaining silent.
Orion Vector looked down at the 2 youngsters before him with an amused smile on his face. "Young Rex, who would have thought you'll have a girlfriend already? You're really representing the Vector bloodline well".
"…" Rex blushed fiercely. "Thank you, ancestor".
"I never expected to meet you here".
"Who did you think would guide you?" The old man laughed then he stood up the next moment. "Both of you, follow me let me show you around".
"Yes, Great Ancestor".
Rex whispered to Cassandra as he followed. "He's my first ancestor".
"Oh…" Cassandra looked at him. "A soul projection?"
"Yeah, he's long dead".
"No need gossiping behind my back, I control this domain until you grow strong enough to be able to control it".
"…" The pair of lovers blushed.
Now silent, Cassandra followed Rex as they both followed the old man's lead who led them deeper into this underground building. This time, Rex did not just get to see one part of the building, he saw it in full for the first time.
The peripheral side where the mechanisms were prepared for him to become a vampire was just one part, the real part was inside.
After taking them through a long corridor, the old man finally arrived at a massive training ground. The inheritance ground was a massive training ground.
In here, Rex saw all sorts of training equipment that ranged from purely mechanical to others that were fully mystic treasures.
This massive training ground had a different section to train all the main battle domain types, there was also another training ground exclusive to vampires.
Orion Vector spoke. "This is the Vector Family's main inheritance ground".
"Dozens of your ancestors trained here before you and all left their imprints here for the chosen one, there is an exclusive chamber to access their knowledge".
"The vampire training ground is the perfect training ground to hone your vampire abilities". The old man turned to look at Rex. "The last time that I met you, I noticed a dormant vampire special ability inside you".
"Ahh…, the age extraction?"
"Yes, where did you get it?"
"I got it from an inheritance ground left by a Sword Saint".
"I see…, that fellow must have been a pretty accomplished vampire in his lifetime to create an ability like that. Learn and master it, it will help you a lot".
The old man patted Rex's shoulder the next moment after he finished admiring. "Follow me let me take you to the exclusive chamber left to hold all the knowledge and inheritance left by your ancestors".
"Your girlfriend can stay here and train, only Vectors are allowed there".
Rex turned to face Cassandra who nodded. "No worries, I'm still fascinated by everything that I'm seeing, I'm ok with looking around".
"Ok, thanks". Rex turned to face his ancestor. "I'm ready".
The next moment, Orion Vector grabbed Rex's hand before levitating towards the ceiling of the inheritance ground with him.
A few seconds later, they disappeared into shadows.
