Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 34: The Art Of Death (IV): Going To Pay Respect



Rezar looked at the pile of armor in front of him, along with a bunch of clothes that didn't seem like they would fit him, and then raised his head back at Priest. He had much to say, but he kept his mouth quiet and instead got Neema dressed in a short dress with frills. You could say this was practically a maids uniform, if you excluded the fact that her abdomen was armored with scales, she had silvery shoulder pads that stretched all the way down to her waist. She had on a pair of black hose that were equally as scales as her uniform before ending it with a pair of steel toed boots.

Her hair was pulled back into a pony tail, but even then it was still extremely long and still reached the middle of her back. She seemed incredibly innocent, but still quite scary considering she was a mole and an undead. She was mainly supposed to be support for Rezar, because honestly he had no idea how she would fight now, but the childish looking demon mole queen went into the stash of weapons Priest had brought and pulled out a massive two handed double bladed war are that was twice as wide as she was. Then she looked at Rezar and said.

"Mas-ster! NeeeMa! Wants!" her big scary green eye didn't make her cute, on the contrary it made it seem like if Rezar didn't give her what she wanted she was going to bite his toe off or something.

"Sure Neema, you can keep the Axe, just be careful with it." Rezar spoke to her like she was just a child, which in a manner of speaking, she actually was. He shook his head as he turned to face Priest.

"The fuck am I supposed to do with a full plate armor, I just wanted enough protection that I won't get hurt easily, I didn't ask to be tied down by and inordinate amount of metal. Also thanks for the clothes, and Neema's dress armor is really good, how did you get something like that? Can you get something similar for me too, but less tight in certain areas."

"do I look like I care about your comfort? Let me set this straight, your training would be going on for a very long, long time Rezar, and I have every intention of cramming everything I've learnt in my extremely long and vibrant lives.

You're going to be wearing those armors, when and how I say you would be wearing them, but nevertheless you wouldn't be starting with full plate mail. Just pick a leather armor set and get ready for your expedition." Priest said as he pulled out a bottle of wine and walked into Rezar's cave.

"I wouldn't call it an expedition Priest called Priest! It's more like house cleaning." Rezar called out as he bent down to pick a simple leather armor, and leather pants and boots to go with it.

"So the cavern is your house now is it? If that be the case then this is no house cleaning, it's more like a house reclamation. Or something like that, make sure to keep the little one safe, what would you be going after, the moles or those ants you seem to hate so much?" Priest asked as he leaned back against the wall and poured a rather unhealthy amount of the wine down his throat.

"The moles aren't a problem any more; with Neema here she should be able to gain control of them with ease. But I plan to have her turn them to zombies, it would be better to do so as they would also be under my control and I can avoid any awkward events should God forbid something ever happens to Neema. My target are those bloody ants, once I'm done with them, I should have proper builders to rely on." Rezar said as he strapped the leather armor on and picked up a simple iron sword.

"Well I wish you good luck on that Rezar, your lessons will now be following a schedule of my own choosing, and in our next session you better prepare yourself, cause you're going to be studying a whole bunch of stuff." Rezar suddenly paused as he turned to face Priest.

"I'm sorry if I sound disgusted, but I could have swore I heard you say I was going to study." Priest placed his bottle of wine to the side and looked at Rezar with a smile before answering.

"You heard right, now please get out of my sight before I make you swing those Nunchuks fully armored, or maybe I'll replace the Nunchuks with mace's instead, that would be quite a sight I'm sure." Safe to say Rezar didn't waste time as he scurried away with Screet and Neema following close behind.

[[[[[||]]]]]]

Rezar found himself standing in front of the cave that belonged to the fire ants again, contrary to what Priest might think, Rezar was not here just to get himself a bunch of undead, rather he was now someone who had a bunch of skills to call upon as opposed to the first time he had to fight with just two. Not to mention he had a bunch of passive skills, supporting him right now, Rezar was here to see just how strong he had become.

He turned to look at Neema and Screet, the mole queen had been dragging the massive Axe behind her during the entire journey here. It was heavy for her, but her speed wasn't disturbed as it seemed she was really fast. The only stat she had was a magic stat, which was also rather high when he thought about it, but it seems she was also quite fast too. Screet still remained as stupid and as dumb as before, Rezar knew it would take a couple more level ups and maybe evolutions before the Infant-Mole man becomes fully coherent.

"The two of you should be careful, stay behind me mostly, and be prepared to run away should anything unsavory situation arise." He shook the sack on his back a bit, finding comfort in the writhing of the earth worms within it. At the very least he had his life saving snack should things go wrong.

Rezar marched into the cave, and unlike the first time he had come here with the two of them, there were three fire ants in with the cave, busily expanding the mouth of the tunnel that led deeper into the tunnels/caves they lived in. Before now Rezar had a proper discussion with Priest about his skills, though there were some he wanted to keep for himself, he realized it was best the old man knew. Rezar needed up discovering that most of his passive skills, especially the ones for the normal classes, were actually quite applicable in combat.

With just the (God sight) passive that was a combination of both a normal passive skill and a combat skill, Rezar could pinpoint the weakness on the body of the ants with just a glance. He pulled the long sword out from his back and charged forwards, relying on his previous experience of fighting, he used a spell first as it seemed the ants hadn't noticed him yet.

(ROT)

The first ant developed a site on top of it's head that was rapidly beginning to fester, it let out an intense screech of pain, alerting it's comrades to Rezar's presence. But his moves were not over yet, he was a lot more faster than before as it took barely three seconds to cross the ten meter distance from the mouth of the cave to the tunnel. Rezar twirled the sword in the air past his right side as he brought it stabbing down into the head of the ant that had fallen prey to his (ROT) skill.

(BIND)

A single chain made of black shadowy ink surged out of Rezar's back, tying down one of the ants as Rezar turned in one smooth motion, the sword held with both his hands, and sliced it from left to right at the third and final ant that had leaped at him.

The sword developed a grey base on it's form as it smashed away, rather than cut the ant, sending it backwards until smashed itself against the cave wall, it's body terribly broken into pieces.

(Power Strike!)

Rezar used the same skill on the ant that was bound, smashing it's dog sized head into pieces like it was a watermelon. Rezar shook himself and turned to see Neema and Screet watching him, he couldn't help but give his undead a thumbs up, though honestly he had no idea what he did that for. Back to the matter at hand, (Power Strike) and (Bind) were still level one skills, but Rezar was able to discover something from their usage.

(Power Strike) was more suited to blunt weapons, just the two uses and the edge of the longsword was chipped.

It was an impact move as opposed to be a slashing or cutting move, what it was however was piercing move as this was skill he gained from his miner class. Definitely it could be used with a pick Axe that has a pointed end. So if he wanted the best use of this skill, he had to learn how to stab with it, not cut. As for (Bind) he had no idea how strong the confining skill was, there was just a single chain to the skill, but he doubts it would be able to hold back whatever monster these ants are expanding the cave for. But as it stands, he could still put it to the test.

He was not under the illusion that these ants he had face were the best this very obvious colony had to offer. He knew how ants worked, and he knew these were just workers, the bottom feeders, there would still be soldiers to face, and then a queen. He still had enough opportunities to test the limits of the skills and increase their levels. He turned to Neema and Screet and then said to them both.

"What'd you guys say about us going to pay our respect to the Queen down under?..... It would be fun wouldn't it?"

"Screeeet!"

"Ff-uuun?"

"Yes indeed my friends, Screeeet Fun! ??"
