Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 55: Death Returns (VI): Skeleton Lady

Rezar watched from the entrance of the mine as the town went up in smoke, honestly this wasn't a part of his plan, at least not yet anyways, but now everyone was running around looting, fighting, killing and dying. The atmosphere here was just so comfortable. Lenore relieving her former boss of a few limbs was literally the spark that started this inferno, in no time at all the entire western side of the mining tow all the way to the market in the central area had gone gaga, it was only a matter of time before the violence got to the eastern sides.

Rezar hoped the foreman and the militia on that side were strong enough to keep this angry mob of slaves at bay, but then again he didn't really care if they could. The longer they kept their focus on themselves, the more time he had to escape from this place. Only problem was he couldn't use the front gate, it would be all too easy to track and follow him if he should go in that direction. But beyond that he would be marching right into enemy territory.

The wild canyons of Toromont were right at the edge of the Bahrenburg frontier, specifically the south east. And if he should walk out the front gate, because of how the canyons were, it would lead him farther into Bahrenburg, rather than away from it. He needed to go out the back, away from prying eyes and specifically south west were endless plains of green grass, a dense forest, rolling green hills, mountains and the sea waited for him.

There would be enough natural barriers between him and his enemies and an un-traversable terrain, it would give him time to grow, and make it hard for him to be followed. Not to mention he would have access to a boat load of natural resources to help with the growth and advancement of the settlement he was about to go build. But of course this endeavor wouldn't be easy, but that's okay, if it was too easy then it wouldn't be fun.

"I saw some people running down the tunnel master, would they be a problem?" Jason said as he hulking form seemed to fill the entire tunnel. Rezar shook his head in annoyance, that was an unwanted development, he didn't expect anyone to run down the tunnel to his area of isolation.

"That won't do, if we want our plan to work, no one should know that we moved out through the western quadrant, it's also our ticket back in. it's unfortunate, but they have to die." Rezar said as he turned away from the entrance and began to move deeper, there was no mining car around to be used, so they probably had to run the entire way down, but at their level of strength, it shouldn't be a problem.

"You don't have to kill them, in fact they would be quite useful to you, tell him Priest." Lenore sounded frantic, Rezar raised an eyebrow, did she take on another pet project after he disappeared for eight months, he felt so hurt.

"Why'd you have to bring me in to this bloody conversation woman! But yeah she's right. There's a priestess living in your cave right now, she's also a shaman. But beyond that, she's a shaman with the ability to talk to the spirits of those who have experienced true death." Priest said.

"And that's useful to me how?" Rezar asked with a raised eyebrow and all too cynical look that Priest had to admit he missed.

"You're so dumb sometimes I wonder how you got the title son of death. She can talk to people that are supposed to be truly dead, aka completely deleted from Elysium's data banks and server. And with it, she could find remnants of lost civilizations, hidden and lost treasures, the fucking Necron!" Rezar blinked once, and then twice, he moved his eyes from Priest to Lenore and then back again.

"Let's get going, we don't have much time." Rezar said as they all doubled their speed and ran deeper into the mines, Brutus on account of being a literal ghost bull was left with the task of pulling along the massive metal box Priest had brought along. Though the ghost bull wouldn't say it, he felt totally humiliated, he was freaking beast of burden and that did not feel nice, not one bit.

With Rezar leading the charge, they eventually came up to the cavern; for Rezar there was a sense of nostalgia, but he quickly squashed that feeling when a crudely made spear what sent stabbing towards his head. The speed was fast enough to give him pause as he quickly ducked and turned his body so his back was facing his attacker, them he moved backwards with the spear and his attacker's arm over his shoulder.

A hard stomp on the ground had his assailant flying over his head and slamming hard into the hard ground. He quickly turned the back of his palm slapping at the spear that came hurtling at his waist. His slap was enough to break the crude wood and stone spear, it was heavier than he expected, and as a result of breaking it, his second assailant lost balance and stumbled forward, send his neck right into Rezar's open hand as he lifted him up and brought him smashing down with a choke slam that was accompanied with the sound of breaking bones.

Three spears came from the darkness this time, their attacks were swift and they were all aiming for vitals. Obviously these guys were well trained and knew exactly how to hit him where it hurts, the only downside to this was that they were lacking in stats. But given that they were slaves that much was understandable. Rezar stood there and let all three spears run through his body, all he did in return was give them a rather nasty smile.

[Bind]

Seven chains with arrow like heads blasted out of Rezar's back and stabbed into the legs of his assailants. The seventh spear hovered above their heads like a cobra preparing to strike, the chain even rattled and shook like a snake that was alive, Rezar smiled as the seventh dropped.

"Wait!" a female voice screamed out as a woman came out of the darkness clad in a dark cloak and holding a very weird look staff. Rezar looked up at her with his signature predatory grin as he answered.

"And why would I do that Skeleton Lady?"
