Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 123: Attack On Goblins 8: Test Run Complete

His assault was as sudden as it could be, and with Lenore blowing up ranks upon ranks of goblins behind him, it left his back devoid of enemies. Of course not many of the goblins were killed immediately, Lenore having a one strike kill skill was not inconceivable, but varying goblins, players and uploads alike had powerful skills of them owns to help defend themselves, or at least had high stats. So it stood to reason that everyone behind him weren't completely wiped out, but then again Lenore was still there to mop up the remains.

Another explosion rocked the earth behind him as Lenore went wild, giving in to pyromaniac tendencies while her taste for electrocuting [people took a back sit, as fire came for a ride. Rezar moved forwards slowly, breaking in to a run, but he had hardly taken two steps when the bolt from a crossbow came flying out of the army of goblins in front of him. The bolt went completely through his body, releasing a spray of blood into the air that mysteriously floated up to hang as tiny blood drops in the air. Of course none of the goblins had noticed the peculiar sight, their gaze was stuck solely on Rezar who just stumbled forwards a bit, before picking up speed and sticking true to his course.

Another bolt came flying towards him, but a quick swing of the staff form of Vita Gratia, deflected the massive metal bolt. Rezar pushed up from the ground, his body easily leaping 20 feet into the air as the blades of the Vita Gratia shot out of the metal shaft, the chains gleamed under the sunlight as they moved like they had a mind of their own. Both swept across the front line of the goblin army, slicing quite a few of the diminutive humanoid creatures in half and then proceeding to stab in to the shield of a Hobgoblin.

Rezar smiled as the chains let out a whirring sound like the gears of a machine and dragged him down towards the Hobgoblin who was carrying a tower shield in his hands.

Rezar's foot smashed in to the shield, causing a visible dent on it as the hobgoblin took three steps back, and quickly retaliated by smashing a Warhammer into Rezar's chest, throwing his body backwards like a tennis ball. Rezar slammed into the ground, his body rolling for a few meters and digging furrows into the ground before he quickly set himself up.

He moved his head to the right as two bolts went past his body, and he looked up just in time to see the Hobgoblin use a skill to rush towards him, its massive green form nothing more than a blur as the shield was smashed into his chest. Rezar felt bones and ribs breaking, but he was already used to pain and knew how to fight through the worst of it.

The shield bash would have flung him away, but Rezar had held on to the edge of the shield, dragging his injured body back and sticking to the shield. The Hobgoblin was surprised, probably not too sure about what to do with an opponent this tenacious. He pulled his massive shield to the left, hoping the jarring movement would force Rezar to let go of the shield and he would be able to attack him. But Rezar surprised him by still holding on to the shield, his feet digging furrows in the ground with how hard he planted his feet, forcing the hobgoblin to utilize more force than was necessary.

Rezar was strong, but the hobgoblin was far stronger than anyone Rezar has ever had the pleasure of facing. But that's as far it went, he was stronger than Rezar, but Rezar was faster. The chains had already retracted forming the staff, and with just one simple twist of his wrist and a forward stab, the bladed end went through the head of the hobgoblin, much to the shock of the goblins watching. [Strike of Nothingness] the soul of the Hobgoblin was swiftly absorbed into Vita Gratia, and Rezar turned to face the rest of the Goblins, dismissing the System message that popped up in front of him.

[Bat Apparition]

[Bind]

His form became wreathed in shadows as his signature eldritch chains shot of from the cloud of shadowy bats, the chains themselves seemed to have taken on the form of the shadows as the extended over twenty meters in length as it swept through the crowds of goblins. For the first time, the skill didn't have any physical impact as it went through the bodies of the goblins it touched, and in that moment the skill [Feed] was activated as vitality and souls were drawn out of dozens of goblins.

Rezar felt himself get stronger as his stats increased, and then the other half went surging into Vita Gratia, improving the power and ability of the weapon and prompting the appearance of more system messages. But once again Rezar ignored it as he remained floating in the air, his form a mass of shadowy bats as six purplish black chains hung in the air around his body.

"If you continue to march on, the only thing that awaits you is. DEATH!"

[Raise Undead]

As soon as that skill was utilized, Rezar turned his shadowy form and flew away from the shocked eyes of the goblins as their recently fallen comrades rose up from the dead and turned on them.

Rezar was not too worried about this new undead, their jobs were just to cause even more havoc and shake the confidence of the goblin army, even if they do decide to turn back now, it was already too late as Lenore will continue to pick them off, one at a time. But for now he has completed his goal, and Vita Gratia had a successful test run. Now he just needed enough time to gain experience and become familiar with the weapon.

Rezar's shadowy form encompassed Lenore as they flew away, until the dark form disappeared in between the tree lines, but inevitably leaving a shadow of horror in the hearts of the goblins. Because they now realized they weren't up against a normal upload or player, the Bone King was a death class holder.
