Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 77: First Campaign 2

It was chaos down at the base, and Rezar knew to take advantage of it, the ant he was on rushed down the side of the hills surrounding the base, the saddle Priest had fashioned was made well enough that Rezar wasn't pulled downwards by the gravity, instead having a harness that held him snugly to the ant. With both entrance blown to bits, the attention of the goblins was split as they had no idea where the attacks were coming from, and in the midst of those confusion, Lenore made sure to keep the pressure as she sent more basketball sized flames blasting into the base and setting a significant amount of its wooden houses on fire.

[Apparition]

This was just an instinctual use of the skill as Rezar noticed a rain of arrows coming for him, but much to his surprise he had made the move with the ant he was on. He surged forwards to the ground, his shadowy form rushing towards a trio of archers. His sickles sliced on both sides taking off the head of the goblins as the ant used its jaws to snap the goblin in the middle in half. Rezar jumped off the ant and patted its side, as if telling it to go wild and do what it had to do.

[Strengthen Undead]

Using that skill was quite draining, and honestly it wasn't required since none of the goblins here were that much of a threat, but better safe than sorry. Rezar shifted his head to the side as a red tasseled spear stabbed towards his forehead, he retaliated by moving close to the goblin and stabbing both his sickles into his jaw and raising him up, before roughly wrenching both farm tools to the side and splitting the goblin's head in a gory manner.

[Raise Undead]

There was a significant amount of dead goblins in the base by this point, and the usage of the raise undead skill happily brought those dead goblins in Rezar's rank. He looked around not finding any opponent and began to make his way towards the biggest building in the base. Obviously that had to be a town hall, or at least the place where that fool Tetum probably lived, so it's sure to have a significant amount of resources and secrets.

There shouldn't be too much of problem now, or so he though until he discovered four heavily armored Hob-goblins in front of the building. They each had halberds that were at least two meters tall, and the hobgoblins varied from 5 feet to 5 foot 8, giving them the height of average humans, but the muscular structure of top athletes as they were so heavily muscled that the thick armor they wore seemed too tight.

Rezar shifted the sickles until they were held in a reverse grip, their crescent moon form glinting under the flames of the burning base. The sickles themselves were almost out of durability and would become useless soon without repair, but it didn't matter. He could take them on ever without weapons, and he was going to do just that.

[Shadow Bolt]

A ball of a chaotic dark energy showed up in front of Rezar and flew towards the hobgoblins, it was an impressive sight, but the skill was terribly slow as the hobgoblins were able to dodge it and rushed towards his direction. The first to get close smashed a shield into Rezar, moving past a five-meter distance in just two seconds, blasting Rezar into a burning building. Rezar was not one to be held back by pain, ignoring the smell of burnt skin as the leather armor on his body easily lit ablaze.

He turned just in time to have a halberd stabbed through his stomach, and another one through his chest, it was a rather painful experience, but frankly speaking Rezar has been trough worse. [Decay], the helmet of one of the Hob-goblins quickly showed signs of rust as he or as it turned out a second later, she started screaming in pain. She let go of the halberd stuck in Rezar's chest, as he pushed himself forwards, letting the halberd stuck in his stomach to completely run him through, much to the shock of the Hob-goblin still holding on to it. Rezar swung the sickle and a helm covered head flew into the air.

At the very same time the female hobgoblin's armored body fell to the ground, her helm rolling a few feet away from her body as a thick sludge and an overwhelming stench of rot wafted out the rusted helmet. The remaining two Hobgoblins hesitated when they saw this, spurred even more when Rezar removed the halberds stuck in his body and removed the still burning leather armor, leaving his upper body bare and very much scared, but at the same time he was healing at a rapid pace. He took one step out of the rubble of the burning building, and the remaining two hobgoblins turned tail and ran into the large building much to Rezar's shock.

That didn't make much sense, in the novels usually the enemies all fought until they died, but now they're running away reality was disappointing. But Rezar had scarcely taken two steps forward when multiple balls of flames followed the hobgoblins into the building before they could close it. Rezar wanted to shout at Lenore to stop, but it was already too late for that.

[Hellfire: Wild Bloom]

*Boom! *

This time it was a single or two balls that went off, it was six of them, all in the same small and confined space. The explosion was spectacular, so much so that it blasted Rezar off his feet, across the entire base until his body was roughly smashed into the rubble that used to be the tunnel entrance and hill it was built from. Lenore winced at Rezar's rough landing and raised her staff a bit as if to hide whilst Gynaika looked at her with a raised eyebrow and asked.

"Seriously?" all Lenore could do was look embarrassed as she said.

"Sorry."

Rezar on the other hand had a pretty lifeless look on his face as he stared at the burning conflagration that used to be the most important building in the base. His eyes watered a bit as he softly cried out.

"My loot." But there was no answer for him, at least not for a while anyway. He slowly got back up to his feet as his body mended and fixed itself, the leather pants and boots he had on at the moment were basically scraps at the moment, but given how wild his style of combat was, maybe he never had a need for armor anyways. Many of the goblins were surrendering, but they were being attacked by his undead, those creatures knew no such thing as mercy, so they couldn't give it. Everything in the base was killed, even to its livestock and any unfortunate rodent that got caught in this wave of death.

[You have completely destroyed a base of the [Goblin King] army. +150% exp progression, +300 gold Elys, Basic Mounted unit training dome, you have gained 10,340 square kilometers of territory, you are now at war with the Goblin King]

The rewards were not that bad, But Rezar really wanted was the town spire that he was sure would have been in that building. Taking that would have at least raised the grade of his own town spire, as a legacy grade didn't mean it was that great, but that it has been used before. Never the less there was no use crying over spilled milk, Rezar called for the ant that had now become his personal mount, Ant Tony. Calling him Anthony would just be a blatant plagiarism at this point, but when you thought about, he really was just like ant-man. except his ants were undead and they were the ones who were giants.

He would worry about the details later, he turned and signaled Gynaika and Lenore, right now the next phase of the plan depended solely on Gynaika. She would help them navigate the forest and find Tetum and his army, and then there'll pick them off, one goblin at a time, it wasn't over yet, cause the night is still young, and honestly, so was Rezar.
