Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 24: Dark Side Of Humanity (III): Invaders!

Rezar didn't see the need to even look back as he grabbed Screet and cowardly mole and ran out the cave of the giant fire ants, but even then those insects weren't willing to let him go as they followed after him in full force, quite adamant to rend his flesh from his bones.

But he didn't stop, he needed to get out into the open so that he could face them properly, besides a terrain like this served them a whole lot more than it served him. They would be able to move a lot more agilely than even the cavern moles that had surprising speed for moles as a whole.

Rezar burst out of the cave and then threw Screet and Cowardly mole before turning around and slashing down with his broken sword, digging into the skull of the closest fire ant that had been nipping at his heels. A quick flick of his wrist and [rot] appeared on the head of one of the giant fire ant in the midst of the crowd that was chasing after him.

The ant crashed to the ground and began moving erratically, throwing the rest of its brethren into disarray and causing a bit of confusion. It slowed them down, but not by much, however it was still enough time for Rezar to pick up his pair of zombie moles and run down the slope that led them right back to their own cave and their small army of zombie moles. With them at his back, he would be able to put up a bit of a fight against these persistent ants.

It took them a little under fifteen to twenty five minutes to get up this slope and arrive at the cave of the giant fire ants. But when running down the slope and utilizing every bit of speed his body could muster. The result was Rezar moving at speed that no fifteen year old should be capable of, this was similar to what a grown man that's been trained to be an Olympic sprinter could bring to bear.

He ran fast, really fast. And he was strong enough that the weight of Screet and cowardly mole didn't slow him down. But yet even though he had given them quite a huge gap, the ants were still coming; they really had no intention of giving up on Rezar and seemed very determined to kill him. It was upsetting, all he had done was trespass, and did they have to be so upset about it that they wanted to kill him.

Granted he did kill three of their friends, but that was because they had attacked first, but then again why was he trying to justify the actions of those ants. There were basically animals that had become monsters; it didn't mean their instincts changed or that they were smarter. He was food and they wanted to eat him, there wasn't anything to complicate about that.

[Your undead mole has been killed!]

[Your undead mole has been killed!]

Rezar was taken aback by the system messages, were the other elite moles attacking? If that was the case then those things were really smart. They were waiting for him to get away before they launched an attack on his base, but suck for them they had no idea he was so close.

He turned the final corner, a rather annoyed look on his face as he imagined the manner in which he would reap those moles apart, however what he saw turned his annoyed look into a confused frown, until.

[Your undead mole has been killed!]

"Hey! What the fuck is wrong with you guys? Stop killing my moles you ass!"

Four men were busy laying the beat down on his moles, and even worse was the fact that the moles were unable to fight back since their primary orders had been to mine.

Rezar's yell had brought their attention away from the moles and unto himself, and the first he did was jump into the air and slam his feet into the chest of one of the men who had killed his mole, the result was him landing on his back as it seemed as if he had just drop kicked a brick wall.

"Admirable but foolish. You're a slave; there isn't much you can do against a trained militia. Kill all of the zombies; I don't want these things spreading any sort of disease later". The commanding voice of Lenore sounded out, but there was no way in hell Rezar was going to let that happens.

"Like hell am I going to let you kill my workers, if you want to kill something, and then kill those ants heading our way! Or else I'll tell my zombies to attack, and believe they have really sharp claws!"

Lenore was surprised, but it didn't mean she was going to change her mind, or at least she had no intention of changing her orders. While she did find the fact that he was able to slay this much moles and raise them impressive, things like this wasn't looked upon favorably, and she would have continued with her orders until she heard the last part of what he just said or rather the part before his threat.

"Rezar! what the fuck did you do?" she asked him with an annoyed look on her face, but the look she was so proud of, that her cowered even greater men than this slave in front of her seemed completely ineffective as he got up and shrugged his shoulder before answering her.

"Nothing! I just went exploring I swear!" somehow Lenore got the feeling that he was trying too hard to seem innocent. But the literal army of giant fire ants coming down the slope ahead was more than enough to have swallowed what she wanted to say.

These things were to low level to pose any sort of threat to her or her militia, but the problem lay in the fact that there was just too many of them. Eventually injuries would pile up, and they didn't come here prepared for injuries. She had them come for a fight, just in case Rezar resisted and came up with some death class voodoo to stop them. Or even worse; was if he was actually the creature responsible for the deaths.

However it's obvious this kid can't even leave a dent on a single one of her militia, so it would be hard to imagine that this kid without fear and a lot of innocence would be responsible for the deaths of those slaves. And his undead were frankly incapable of carrying such a task out, they were just too weak. Each of the people who died have been living in the mine town for years, they had at least second tier classes and as such had higher stats than the norm.

Lenore pointed her hands in the direction of the approaching giant fire ants. A stream of purple flames gushed out and swallowed them up, the sounds of burning flesh and loud chitterling of pain filled the cavern, but even then it was not enough to slow them down as some of them went round the flames.

"Get in formation boys! And Rezar! Get your zombies to attack or I'm going to throw you to the fire ants!"

Rezar really didn't want to know what it felt like to be chewed into by dozens if not hundreds of fire ants. Either way he had no intention of sitting back anyway, this was a whole bunch of exp and new undead, and obviously the fire ants were more suited to building stuff than the moles. The moles were very good miners, and in a fight they weren't too bad, but mining was more their thing, and the ants were more suited to be builders.

Rezar felt as if he had just gained an epiphany, there was something really awesome being cooked in his head right now, but hell deal with that later, for now, he has a couple of ants to squash.

And then once he was done with that, he'll get to the bottom of why Red was here with her lackeys, and then deal with that. And once he's done that, he'll be able to properly explore his epiphany and the potential he was about to unleash. For some reason he felt good, really good. At least until an ant jumped toward his face.
