Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 110: Kitsune (X): Loss

[Apparition]

Rezar's shadowy form flew over the heads of the Younger Kitsune, drawing on the confusion the explosion and Neema's sudden attack had caused. This time he was going all out, fangs out and both eyes blood red and burning gold. He brought his scythe swing down, its blade leaving a blazing trail of orange behind as he planted it in the chest of a grey furred Kitsune.

Its bright red blood spilled all over Rezar's face and chest, but he derived no joy from it as the blood touching him had caused a burn so intense on his body he had top grit his teeth. But he would not let that stand in his way as he pushed away from the body of the Kitsune, his form drawing an arc in the sky as he made a backflip before falling down, feet fist onto the head of another Kitsune, pushing its, massive head into the ground hard enough that spider cracks were made on the ground from the force of the move.

He shook his head and shot forwards, sliding to his knees as the tail of one of the Kitsune shot towards his head. He leaned back, moving forwards as the fur went above him, then he brought his scythe swinging upwards, shearing through the tail and eliciting a scream of pain so intense that he felt his entire body rumble from how ear piercing the scream was. It made one thing very obvious to him, and that was the fact t that the tails of the Kitsunes were actually a weak point of theirs.

He got up and turned, pivoting his body as he sliced his scythe in a full circle at the Kitsune's that had surrounded him. [Strike of Nothingness], a move that could not be seen, and it didn't leave behind any evidence of its usage either. Eleven souls rose as their bodies collapsed to the ground, grotesque squid like beings crawled away from their bodies, each of them rushing towards the burning village in the distance.

[Absorbing Souls into Weapon. Souls absorbed. Weapons has become transcendent and can be scaled, please name weapon.]

Eleven souls, and Rezar just shoved them into his weapon, but just as he haphazardly shoved them into his scythe, he moved on without paying attention to the system prompt. He swung the scythe one more time, this time it released a conflagration of blazing flames that were a deep bluish black. It shocked Rezar and the Kitsune's so much that there was a lull in the battle, and that lull gave just enough time for a tower in the distance to explode into a shower of flames and rubble. And at that moment, in unison all of the hijacked Kitsune's raised their heads to the sky and howled in anger and anguish.

{Master! There was a platform made with weird languages and letters in that tower, I thought it looked really important so I happily blew it up.}

Rezar didn't have time to laugh not with what he was seeing in front of him. He rushed forwards, his form covered with his bats, but right in that instant a tail found its way into his body, nailing him to the ground, and for just the fraction of wasted second, leaving him helpless as he watched a Kitsune clamp its jaw tight against Neema's body, there and then it started to wrench its head left and right as dark red blood splashed every which way.

Rezar didn't just see her die, he felt it. It was a pain unlike anything he had ever felt and it wasn't physical, but he was so broken at that sight his body itself seemed to rebel against him. That pain brought on fear, real and palpable and nerve wracking. But it was too late too feel it, he knew she was gone, just as she had suddenly came into being, she had been suddenly snuffed out, taken away from him.

"Arghhhhhhhhhh!"

[Blood Rain]

[Bind]

He swung the scythe in his hands down, cleaving the Kitsune in front of him in two as the Kitsune who had held on to Neema was pierced through with the chains, his blood draining rapidly, as his soul was also drawing into Rezar's body. But Rezar would not make death any easier for this Kitsune, and even more so for the NPC that it was attached to. The wind picked up as [Deathwind Domain] came to life, trapping a significant amount of the Kitsunes within with Rezar, but by this point he was releasing an aura so powerful that, none of them could get close to him.

He jumped up into the air, the chains from his [Bind] skill waving behind him with a mind of their own as they attacked and defended him from the onslaught of attacks from the other Kitsune's. Rezar shoved his hand into the mass of fur on the neck of the Kitsune, and ripped his arm back, pulling out the squirming form if an NPC. The Kitsune collapsed to the ground, black blood pouring put from the back of his neck, as his form rapidly changed and he transformed back into a humanoid form, silver white hair falling all over his injured naked form.

He groaned as he tried to get back up to a standing position, but the cloud of blood above his head sent a thing spike of blood that went through his right thigh. His roar of pain was accompanied by a scream of anguish as Kari and the others walked through the veil. The children were huddle in one corner, safe, but at least 30 of the adults were dead, with even more severely injured. But it was not the sheer amount of the dead that got the female Kitsune screaming, it was the injured form of the male Kitsune kneeling in pain in front of Rezar.

"Please let him go! You've removed the NPC, he's in control now, you don't have to kill him." Obviously this guy was important to her, probably a lover of her's or something of the sort. But all Rezar gave her was a look of such rage and hate and pain that made her shiver in fright, and that's when her gaze shifted down to the body at Rezar's feet, and even more so the tears of blood that was now pouring out of his eyes. It was Priest who made the confirmation with his head bowed.

"It seems Neema has left this world and her master. I'm afraid Lady Kari, that no amount of begging would save that young man's life, whether it was his fault or not. Because for one Neema was never just an undead to Rezar, she was his family, his sister. Nothing but hell awaits that young man now."
