Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 220: Pygmies (III): Small Conflict

"You think Pygmy people will surrender easy easy to Rezar Rezar! Neverrrrrrr! Attack formation!" and then all disappeared, turning into tiny versions of themselves that proceeded to beat the crap out of the people that took them captive. Rezar was left alone for the most part, and he watched the embarrassing display in front of him.

Most of the guard were not fast enough to track the movements of the pygmies, these folks were no different from flies and mosquitoes in this state of theirs.

The pygmies were too small and a little too much to deal with properly, and they knew just how well to utilize their tiny size. If they became giants it would be much too easy for them to be dealt with, they knew that, which was why they stayed small, and had speed and jump and little bit of power behind their movements, which was probably because their normal bulk was compressed to such a small size.

He could ask Roran to poison the immediate area, but doing so would also get his own people in the line of fire, so that was too much of a risk. The best way to deal with them is to get them to stop moving, or in this case hold someone or something hostage.

Rezar turned to Screet who unsurprisingly was keeping up with the speed of the Pygmies and playing little league baseball with his staff by hitting homeruns with their tiny body. He was in much better state than almost everybody else, which made him perfect for this job, plus he was heartless, literally and figuratively, it made him perfect.

"Screet find the Pygmy's village...and smash everything and everyone in it!" Rezar didn't whisper, he spoke loud enough that all of the Pygmies paused and shifted their focus to Screet, who at this point was looking at his master with a betrayed look on his face. All Rezar could do was smile awkwardly as he said.

"You should be running."

Thankfully Screet took his advice and took off in the direction of the pygmy village, and seeing how they followed just as quickly, it meant that he was heading in the right direction. The pygmies completely outclassed them due to their size changing ability, but they were too simple to truly be a threat. In the time they've had to attack, all they did was hover and hit without the intent to maim or kill, it almost made Rezar sorry for harassing them, but if it were his soldiers with the same abilities, those pygmies would already be dead or anyone else they faced. And as cute as they were, they weren't under his control, and he'd rather not leave a wildcard like this out in the open for someone else to come use against him.

"you guys should reorient yourselves and then catch up, your performance was terribly disappointing. Think on your failures and make sure to never repeat them again!" with his piece said, Rezar followed after the pygmies, his eyes strained to the limit as he hunted them, just as they hunted his ally.

It wasn't too hard to catch up to them, and they didn't go too far as the noise they made and Screet's rough treatment of the jungle gave him a direct path to a clearing where tiny mud houses have been erected as the base of massive trees. Right in the middle of the clearing was an alter with what looked like a metallic disk on it, the disk had glowing symbols on its sleek frame and it was floating two feet above the alter...guess that's what Alistair sent them here for.

Screet was holding his own against their onslaught, but the ghoul was barely standing and was severely injured. Rezar finally decided to take this entire fight seriously as he pulled out Vita Gratia and rushed headfirst into the melee. These pygmies were not just moving fast, they had mastered the shrinking abilities and to truly out maneuver them, especially now that they were in their home ground, he had to really take it to the limit. But he had to do something that would pretty much even the playing field, so instead of jumping into the fray he rushed towards the disk, made a flip over the alter and grabbed the disk.

Their reactions were to be expected, as more than half of them rushed towards him increasing their forms in an attempt to smash him to bits and regain their scared treasure. Rezar was ready for them, and has been for quite a while. [Mana Charge] had reached its five second preparation time, and just before the pygmies could get to him, he used it to boost another skill. [Bullet Time], the world seemed to move a little slower as Rezar split vita Gratia and swung both blades forwards, the blades themselves dislodged from the hilts, a gleaming blue-black chain connecting them as they wove in an intricate manner, dancing into the crowd of full grown giant pygmies.

There was no stopping their reaping as the blades and chains ripped into flesh, tissue and bone in the three short seconds the [Bullet Time] skill was activated. For the others, the onlookers, the assailants and the allies; it seemed as if Rezar had sped up, or maybe that was exactly what had happened as opposed to the time in the entire world slowing down for one man. And soon after he returned to normal speed, chains retracting back into elaborate hilts and dragging with them the blades that were still stuck in the body of two giant pygmies.

It was a shocking turn of events for the short forest race, but Rezar had showed them an ability that made them wary of him, which was just as well because bullet time was extremely tasking and Rezar felt as if all his muscles were being in ten different directions and being twisted into pretzels at the same time. The bullet time skill was exhausting to use, but given that it has stopped a conflict, Rezar would say it was well worth the use.

"Now! Where were we on Pygmies feel no fear... I really want to put that to a test!"
