Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 287: Geo-Core (III): Separated

Rezar placed Vita Gratia in front of him, letting the blades of the weapons intercept the beam that was heading for him. There was a spread of light as he shifted the beam to attack another golem, before he shot forwards, taking out the knee of another golem by cleanly slicing through it with his [Mana Blade] skill activated. Lenore finished it off by sending a massive lance of flames to burn a hole through the Golem's skull.

Then he turned around to jump to the next target, only to notice that they were all gone. It was just him, Samira, Kitagawa and Lenore left in front of the entrance to the Geo Core. It wasn't exactly a hard fought battle, but it wasn't easy either as the golems fired their beams without any sort of sequence, with each golem having a unique interval between their shots.

There was no telling which was which as short ones could fire faster and tall ones a bit slower. But ultimately they had acclimated to their enemies and defeated them. what came next was descending into the belly of the beast, or into the abyss depending on which analogy you would want to use to describe the current situation. Rezar shook his head, spreading his wild locks with the wind before gathering them up in a bunch and tying it.

It had grown long again, and he really needed to get it cut short soon enough. Having beautiful long silver hair might seem like a novelty, but it could be such a bitch in a fight. It was time to go into the Geo core, but before that they had to make proper preparations, and in Rezar's case, that was taking note of the gains he got during the fight with the golems.

Rezar was a bit annoyed though, he didn't know what it would take to get him to silver rank, but no ne the less getting his skills up and a few extra stats didn't seem like a good idea. Everyone else here including Kitagawa who had been stuck with him in hell for three months had advanced to silver rank.

But there was no definite way to improve your rank, according to what he has been told it was different for everybody. Some people needed to raise the levels of a set amount of skills, others had to deal with stats, and some would rank up, even jumping stages when they purchase a particular skill from amongst their skillsets.

Maybe things were a bit harder for him due to his bloodline, it wasn't as if he was any weaker than those in the silver rank, however there was a fundamental change, an aura of sorts that seemingly encompasses those who had made it to the silver rank. It made them stronger and a whole lot scarier to fight as they gain more con troll of their energy with a qualitative improvement to their skills.

"We shouldn't muddle around here any longer, let's go!" Rezar ordered with an annoyed look on his face before leading his team mates through the entrance of the Geo-Core.

The first thing that showed up in their sight was a spiral staircase that seemed a little bit too small for normal use. But considering it was built by dwarves it was understandable, however dwarves were much wider than the norm, the staircase was extremely narrow, there was definitely not enough space for dwarves to go through and build the Geo core.

Rezar didn't want to think too much into it, he just walked through and down the stair case as a wave of sweltering heat met him. It was a bit dark with a dull red glow being spread across the railings of the staircase. He took a deep breath and walked in with his guard up, the smell of old industrial oil, rust and new steel assailed his senses, and entwined with it was the smell of earth.

He shook his head as he moved downwards before ending up on a metal drawbridge. The drawbridge was completely out of place within the confines of the geo core as it was actually made of wood. In fact, the geo-core itself seemed to be mostly comprised of metal, Rezar noticed a few hanging branches and roots from either trees or plants, but he wasn't so sure about their composition. He turned around to call for Kitagawa and the others, however all that was left behind him was the drawbridge extending into the distance to a ledge.

The spiral staircase that brought him in had disappeared, and with it his companions. Rezar couldn't help but curse softly, he should have expected this. From the reports he was given, the Geo-core at its base was nothing more than a relic of the old Elysium; a dungeon. And it seems this was the kind that either generated a separate instance for each person that walks in, or it just wanted to mess with their minds. Either way, Rezar would keep even more of his guard up.

Rezar decided to just wing it and pick a random direction to go in. there was no reason to stand in one spot contemplating about the intricacies of the dungeon. As with all dungeons; he would get his answer when he gets to the end of it. He went right, after all they said when in doubt go rightor something like that.

The moment he stepped onto the ledge, the drawbridge disappeared, fading away as if it was all an illusion in the first place as a wall appeared besides Rezar, enclosing him in a two-meter hallway made entirely of copper. There were pipes running along the length of the wall and going in and out of it. Bulbs with soft red glows lined the ceiling as the hallway seemed to stretched into the darkness.

*chitterririririririririririri! *

Rezar raise an eyebrow as meter wide, long and tall metallic spiders seemed to meld out of the walls, floor and ceiling of the hallway. Completely covering and cutting off his path in both directions. Obviously they were the monsters spawned to stop him from getting to the core.

Their copper frames seemed to gleam under the glow of red that encompassed them all. Their eyes glowed with purple light as Rezar took a step back. As he separated Vita Gratia, one of the blades held in reverse as he lowered his center of gravity. On their own these spiders didn't mean much, but the sheer number of them within the hallway was enough to give Rezar chills.

[Basic Copper Spider Golem: Bronze Rank II]

There was a lot of them that he would have to deal with, and given his previous track record with the golems that had been placed as guards outside of the geo core, he knew that he would probably get out of this fight with a few extra holes in his body. But that was fine, he was already within the Geo Core, so at the very least he could go wild and let loose a bit, let's see what's tougher, a vampire or a golem.
