Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 232: Spooky 3

The giant pumpkin was something Rezar wanted to avoid, but somehow he got the feeling that doing so would cause more harm than good, he felt watched, like he was being observed. Samira's underlings had actually ran through the pumpkin farm without any sort of problem, but now there was something off about the entire farm as a whole, and his attention was being split in two directions, never the less it seems they had to at least investigate that giant pumpkin in the middle of the farm. The pumpkin itself was almost in pieces, looking as if someone or something had clawed its way out of it.

But even with all of that, the insides of the pumpkin were dark, even with the night vision afforded Rezar by his [Supernatural Body] skill, he still couldn't see through the massive cracks on the body of the pumpkin. He shook his head in annoyance, he really had no idea what was going on here, and with every second that passed, he felt more and more off about this entire situation. Something spooky was going on here, but not just spooky, but something evil. He pulled vita gratia and combined it into its staff form, then he turned to Samira and her fellow daughters of the eclipse.

"I have a bad feeling about this, so you guys should keep your distance. You can offer ranged support which I'm sure you're all capable of, I think we're in for a tough fight." Samira opened her mouth to complain about Rezar's arrangement, but a hand up from her king had shut her mouth. The smug look of victory on the face of her subordinates did not escape Rezar's gaze, and this time he was actually worried that this bad blood that seems to have cropped up would devolve into a full blow civil war between the daughters of the eclipse. But it was much too early for such political maneuverings.

Rezar shifted his gaze and started coming down the small hill, leaving behind the embrace of the forest as he walked towards the farm. He was vigilant, trying his best to keep his eyes peeled for anything untoward. He stepped onto the field of pumpkins and his body shuddered. He could feel the magic that was permeating the field, it was like it had a domain of its own as it was contained within the field itself and didn't spread out. But never the less this feeling, this magic was malevolent, it wasn't as if Rezar was a 100% sure about what he was sensing, but this energy had a hint of mischievousness and evil. If there ever was a feeling for something evil, it would be what he was currently feeling right now.

Suddenly goosebumps stretched allover his skin and all the hair on his body stood up like they were being attracted by some sort of biological magnet. He saw the attack before Samira had the chance to opened her mouth and shout out a warning, unfortunately, Rezar wasn't fast enough to evade it. A massive root three inches thick shot out of the ground and straight through his body. Rezar's body became rigid for a few seconds as he felt a wave of foreign energy seep into his body. It gave him pause, and whatever had decided to attack him decided to pressed its advantage as another root went straight for his throat, but in this case, Rezar was not alone.

"Bang!"

The sound of a loud gun shot rang out as one of the Daughters of eclipse pulled out a gun that Rezar recognized as the viper sniper rifle. Inn that same moment Samira stabbed her right hand into the ground, and thin thorn vines about two-centimeter-thick blasted out of the ground, going round the field and ruining the black roots that were spread all around. It was from her actions that Rezar realized it was the black roots stretching from underneath the ruined giant pumpkin that were responsible for the attack on him. A system notification quickly flashed in front of him.

All of a sudden the world seemed a lot brighter and clearer, the sounds louder and scents sharper. Rezar moved his body to the side, ignoring the pain in his stomach from the root stuck in his body and the energy that was currently going on a rampage within him. Another root shot past his head, nicking his ear and drawing blood as he swung Vita Gratia downwards, one of the blades at its end shoot out towards the pumpkin with the intent to cleave the infernal vegetable in half.

Dozens of black roots shot up to form a sort of dome above the Pumpkin, but Vita Gratia was no common weapon, as most of the roots were slashed through, before it quickly retracted back to Rezar, who used it so sever the root stabbing into his body from the back, and then pulled the other half out of his stomach from the front. He split the staff and sliced both Khophesh to the sides as they stretched out, their chains releasing rattling sounds and a dull glow as it seemed as it twins crescent slashes were sent in the direction of the pumpkin. Both blades carved a rather nasty hole on the body of the Pumpkin, forcing it to finally react for the first time since this fight started.

*Grooooaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!*

*Bang! *

Its loud roars were cut short as a gleaming bullet smashed a pot sized hole on its body. The pumpkin shuddered as all of the black roots quickly retracted to form multiple spider like legs that raised the pumpkin high.

The pumpkin on its own was 7 feet tall and about 15 feet in diameter, and now with the spider legs it had suddenly grown, the bloody thing was easily two stories tall. And that was when flames blazed with its dark interior, proving and showing that splits it had was actually carvings of the eyes, mouth and nose synonymous with all Jack-o-Lanterns and Halloween decorations, and as an added bonus it breathes fire!
