Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 133: The Battle Of BoneFire Valley 3

Rezar already had a specific idea in mind when he suddenly urged tony forwards, the giant ant was all too willing to listen to its master as its legs pounded on the ground, rushing forwards with a sudden burst of speed that surprised a lot of people, the hobgoblins included. It was now very obvious that it wasn't just the master that had gotten stronger, but the mount too, and its speed was exponential. But that much was expected, Tony was Rezar's personal mount, and the ant was almost always with its master, learning, growing and fighting. Of course it was obvious that the giant ants took a lot longer to gain an awareness or consciousness of their own, but they still got stronger none the less.

Tony didn't walk down the edge of the valley, like they had previously done when this place was assaulted, instead the giant ant leaped, crossing more than half the 100-meter distance, before two sets of wings popped out from within its armor and burst of speed carried it and Rezar straight across and into the flying projectiles of the Hobgoblins waiting for them on the other side.

[Deathwind Domain]

As soon Tony landed, the translucent but still very visible dome appeared above his head, arrows and spell thudded harmlessly off its surface, while Tony raised his head high and screeched, his body seemingly getting bigger as spikes grew from the grooves of his armor. The domain skill had been born from a combination of skills, his [Strengthen Undead] skill being inclusive. And once the domain was up, any undead that found itself under the influence of the skill would grow so much stronger like its entire body had been pumped full of adrenaline for the dead. Tony rushed forwards, and as he did so, so too did the domain that had Rezar as its center.

They crashed into the front row of the hobgoblin army, or better yet it would be easier to say that the domain itself did the crashing, serving as an impenetrable shield that swept into and through the mounted and armored Hobgoblin army, causing havoc and breaking formation until they were well within the thick of it. And that's when Rezar dispelled the domain, leaving himself and Tony whose transformation would soon end to the mercy of the angry and merciless looking army of Hobgoblins heading their way.

Tony rushed forwards, his body a sudden blur as his wings were retracted and his pincers stretched forwards to snap a hobgoblin in half, shearing through armor and flesh in one swift move. Rezar stabbed the staff form of Vita Gratia at the throat of a hobgoblin who quickly raised a thick shield to block, but the power behind the strike blasted the Hobgoblin off the back of the boar he was riding, causing him to fly into more rows of hobgoblins and boars in a manner that was similar to a bowling ball going through bowling pins.

Rezar jumped upwards, keeping a hand Tony's reins as he dodged a spear being stabbed at his stomach, only for him to retaliate by sending a kick straight for the helmet covered face of another Hobgoblin, crushing it and the skull it was subsequently supposed to protect. Using the reins as a means to balance himself before stabbing Vita gratia straight through the rectangular opening on the helm of the hobgoblin with the spear, tearing all the way through metal until it came out behind its head.

Rezar tapped his feet and surged in to the air, a cloud of bats gathering all over his body as he rushed to the ground, slicing a hobgoblin from shoulder to hip and subsequently her boar in half from the force of gravity he used in falling down. Blood spilled allover his white robes, but it seemed to serve more as an incentive for him to fight harder, than an irritation. He bent his knees and then swiftly turned around, the staff form of Vita Gratia whistling through the air as it seemed to make an eerie howl.

[Strike of Nothingness]

There was a silence that swept the battlefield, it was brought on by the silent swing of Vita Gratia that seemed to release a barely perceptible gust of wind. Just that strike alone forced a lull in the battle, forcing everyone on both sides to stop, their breaths held as they tried to see just exactly what Rezar had tried to achieve by swinging his weapon and not being able to touch a single Hobgoblin. And as the seconds ticked until the fifth, then bodies started dropping.

All of them in a perfect circle around Rezar, fully dead and completely devoid of their souls that happily rushed into Rezar's body and the unique weapon now held in his hands. It was eerie, anyone who had a bird's eye view of the amount of bodies now laying around Rezar would say the bodies had all fallen in a spiral pattern, or rather in much the same way dominoes that had been placed in a circle would fall. Whether you saw it from above, or you saw it straight ahead, this was death at its best.

"I hope you've not lost your nerves goblins! Because I'm just getting started. And it surprises me, honestly it does, how foolish can you all be to come face me and my people without your king in tow, did he run with his tail between his legs, or is cowardice just a trait all goblins share. Come now to meet your death, destiny call for you all in more ways than one, and it she says is.... You. Are all. Going. To. Die."

The battlefield burst out loud in a cacophony of yells as they charged, but even as they did so Rezar had already succeeded and his army, one that they never saw coming, burst out from the ground close to the valley, a tunnel leading deep into the earth revealed as Lenore led the charge, her form clad in fire and thunder. And Rezar smiled as he separated Vita Gratia into its two Khopesh form and said.
