Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 58: Death Returns (IX): Giant Fire Ant Queen 2

It seems growing older and taller was not the only thing Rezar done in the eight months he had been away, as Lenore watched him, she couldn't help but reason that he seemed to have gotten a lot more crazier. It was define9tely not right for Elysium that someone with his level of insanity would exist in it, she could already feel her blood pressure boiling to melting point, and this was the boy she had sworn her service to for the foreseeable future, she really was dead.

Rezar on the other hand was shaking in anticipation, the truth of the matter was that the giant fire ant queen wasn't a threat, in the eight months while he may not have fought monsters with her intelligence, he had fought plenty with her size. Of course then again her intelligence made her much stronger than they would have ever been. Her usage of skills and battle tactics would be second to none and most challengers would be sitting ducks in front of her, and all this was due to the single factor of intelligence.

So while he might have face monsters her size, 'Bessie the iron whatever' being a prime example as she was even bigger, this queen would be his toughest opponent yet. Rezar was covered head to toe in weapons, he had two sickles, which could actually pass for scythes, a bone long sword made from the thigh bone of tiger monster, and extremely long spine wrapped around his torso. That though was a forging material, a dungeon would only drop equipment based on its preset theme.

Monsters in the wild did not drop anything after they were defeated, you could only scavenge their corpse for materials to get by and find what you needed. On the plus side, you could use almost any sort of material to forge what kind of equipment you wanted. Sure metal ores would be better than crystal ores in some cases, at times there's a monster with a special kind of bone that's even stronger than crystal or metal ore. All of them could be used to make the same equipment, however the there will always be the most optimum material to be used.

Rezar shot forward, the edges of his body releasing faint wisps of shadows as he used [Apparition], his speed was beyond insane as his form flickered in between the giant fire ants until he was right in front of the queen. A massive leg came crashing down, but Rezar's form flickered again as he jumped upwards, the ground beneath his feet getting cracked as he had little to no control of his current power. He slashed the two sickles upwards slashing underneath the jaws of the giant fire ant queen.

*squeeeeeee! *

The sound of metal scraping against each other was heard as sparks was raised from underneath the giant fire ant queen's jaw. The only thing to show for Rezar's attack was a pair of thing whit lines, but otherwise there was not even a scratch on the queen. He surged forwards as her massive pincers attempted to snap Rezar in two, a fire ball came flying from behind and smacked into the face of the queen, throwing her head to the side as Rezar flickered backwards, his body leaving a trail of black shadows.

[Decay]

the evolved form of the skill rot, its effects were deadlier, duration longer, range wider, much wider, and effects so deadly it would remain long after the battle was over. The skill splashed over the torso of the queen, releasing hissing sounds akin to acid on a person's skin. The queen screeched in pain, but her defense was tough, way tougher than Rezar expected as the skill barely made a dent on her armored shell. But it did expose something though, there was a flicker of magic over her massive frame, which is to say she had active defensive skill that either absorbed damage or completely negated them. Or better yet that's just an effect of her incredibly hard shell.

Rezar kicked his leg forward, smashing his foot into the skull of a soldier ant that jumped at him, he moved back and vanished from his position as numerous ants crashed into where he once stood. He appeared besides Lenore with a smile and only said one thing before he vanished again, the duration for [Apparition] was almost over anyway. "Get her attention, get her to look down Red, thanks."

And then he was gone, his shadow encased figure disappearing into the roof of the cavern. Lenore resisted the urge to curse and she sheathed her rapier and pulled out a small baton on her waist. One small whisper later and the small baton had transformed into a black staff with eldritch runes and creatures etched on it. It glowed a sinister red as Lenore rapidly underwent a transformation and massive red horns grew out the front of her head.

[Hell-Fire: Gatling Barrage]

The staff was similar to a monk's staff, but it glowed as a fire ball the size of a basketball appeared above it, then it slipped into countless tiny smaller forms and began to fire with extreme prejudice at the queen and her all so numerous children. It bore holes through them, some of them were blasted to pieces as the tiny fire balls had an explosive effect. Luckily the fire balls recognized their allies as they seemed to curve around Jason and Brutus who watched on with brightly lit undead eyes at the sheer amount of destruction that was happening around them.

The Queen was no spared from the barrage of flames as two of her legs were lost, shocking both Rezar and his undead. He couldn't even leave a dent on that thing, granted he wasn't using a skill and it was just a glancing attack to the test the waters, but seeing the ease with which Lenore used in causing damage to fire ant queen, it left them feeling a little bit intimidated, sure they could tank five or six of those fireballs, but they didn't have any skills that could deal as much damage.

But never the less Rezar already got his wish as the fire ant queen had looked down, completely enraged and assaulted by pain as she lost two of her legs and stumbled forward, her massive form shaking the entire cave, but that was all the chance Rezar needed as he shot downwards, using the last few seconds of the [Apparition] skill to propel him forwards as he brought his right fist which was glowing in ominous blue light smashing down onto the head of the giant fire ant queen.

[Power Strike]
