Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 288: Geo-Core (IV): Silver Rank

[Spectral Skulls]

The illusory purple skulls wafted into the hallway, blasting every which way as they smashed into the frames of the spider golems. There seemed to be a controlled explosion as the first three golems in front of Rezar shook vigorously and fell to the ground, sparks coming off the frames as the magic of the spectral skulls skill completely destabilized their inner circuits. The four skull flew back to Rezar as they orbited around him, serving as a defensive shield as he rushed forwards.

He swung Vita Gratia forwards, slicing a spider golem into two as he sent a back kick that caught another flying through the air at him. There was a sound of crumpled metal as the frame of the spider was crushed from the power behind his kick, sending it blasting back into the ranks of its comrades. He shifted his head backwards unwittingly hitting it against the wall behind him with a loud bang.

Some pipes were destroyed in the process as actual lava spilled forth from it, and scalded one side of Rezar's face down to his bone. He screamed out in pain, momentarily distracted, and long enough for a spider golem to jump and latch its body on Rezar, sending all eight legs deep into his body until they burst out on each side like some sort of clamp.

The thing about pain sometimes is that it could completely take over your mind and make it impossible for you to see anything clearly. However, there were also times where pain could bring about the greatest of clarity possible, it would clear your mind in such a way that even the invisible became completely visible for you to see, and the impossible became possible. Rezar shook himself as out of the holes that had been stabbed into his body, his blood blasted out like lances, shooting out into the distance and boring holes into the copper frames of the golems.

[Bullet Time]

[Summon Skeleton]

[Mana Charge]

The world slowed down, as Rezar ducked over two spider golems that were going for his head, shifting to the side as a bright spell circle came to life besides him, leading directly to the realm of the undead, and summoning them to answer the call of their master. Time sped up once again as six skeleton warriors with swords and shields suddenly appeared and pounced on the spider golems with reckless abandon.

Rezar still had his hands free as he held both separated blades of Vita Gratia, and stabbed them into the Spider Golem that was heavily latched to his upper body. He split the mechanical construct in half, however its legs were still attached to his body, but this was easy to fix as he controlled his blood to push them out. By this time, his mana charge skill had already been active for a few extra seconds than normal. He took a deep breath as he swung both sword at each direction of the hallway. The blades developed a blue glow as they flew forwards, their chains clinking loudly within the narrow hallway.

[Mana Blade]

It was one long swath of destruction as multiple spider golems were sliced through, there was sickly rustic scent in the air, that was extremely nauseating for Rezar, but he didn't let that stop him as the blades still attached to the chains moved as if they had a mind of their own. They moved left and right, stabbing into and slicing through heaps of copper and gears covered or coated in magical agents and power by magical cores.

The blades danced around the summoned skeletons as Rezar wholly focused on controlling Vita Gratia to move around and destroy the spider golems without even one smidge of remorse for himself as the surviving spiders close to his body had started firing dark gold beams of light into his body. Some weren't strong enough and just left a light burn, other burnt holes into and through his body.

However, Rezar couldn't stop, this hordes of Mechanical spiders seemed endless, and if he slowed down even once for them he would probably be overwhelmed. He could summon his familiar Valka into this fight, after all, the bloody Nether Lion was always napping within its master's body. But in the few minutes since he's started this fight, a few notifications had ran passed Rezar's eyes.

He wasn't treating this a life and death fight, but rather as a training exercise for his skills. He could feel himself growing stronger from the constant assault his body was going through as it attempted to heal itself back. And at the moment he was also burning a colossal amount of magic to control Vita Gratia and maintain the Mana Blade skill on it. There was a dull throb at the back of his head that was currently building up, coupled with the pain from the other spiders attacking. he was almost at the end of his ropes.

A rusted sword sliced down in front of him as a spider golem smashed into the ground before being stabbed by an equally rusted spear. There was a beam of light from the eyes of another spider, but a rusted shield was there to intercept that attack as a mace that had seen better days smashed down onto the frames of the spider golem, ending its unnatural life. There were clacks and cricks as the skeleton soldiers fell into formation in front of their master and summoner.

Shield and weapons at the ready as they began to clear his immediate vicinity of enemies, while he took care of those of them that were at a distance. At this point the fight had completely turned in Rezar's favor as the path to the right was completely cleared, and those at the left only had about a dozen spider golems left. And that wasn't a problem for them as he was sure his summons would be able to handle whatever came at them.

Rezar disabled the [Mana Blade] skill and retracted Vita Gratia's chains. He fell to his knees, his vision swimming in darkness for a full minute as every muscle in his body began to spasm and shake. He could Vita Gratia hum in his hands of its own volition, an attempt by the weapon to show concern for its own master. Rezar tried to take deep breaths before sitting backwards against the wall, letting the hiss of the steam/lava pipes besides his ears lull him into a clam stat as he paid attention to the notifications in front of him,

The moment all of the notifications were read through, it was almost as if there was an onslaught of energy into his body. Ranking up was insane; the feeling it evoked was something that Rezar had never felt before. Bronze rank connected him to the energy of the world, now at Silver Rank he didn't just feel connected, he felt as if he had become a part of it.

He was stronger and he was faster and more resilient. And the magic, the magic was so much easier to control and weave. It was right there at the tip of his finger tips and with rhythm of his breaths. He could see farther, see clearer, and he felt he could make and unmake the world with just a whisper from his lips. This was power, the current peak of power everyone had achieved. It was amazing, and now it would be a race to see who reaches gold first.

But none the less Rezar wasn't too worried, this was just the beginning of this dungeon, there was still much room to grow in here. Maybe the elves knew, or maybe they didn't. but by virtue of the Geo-core being a dungeon, all abilities were growing here a hundred times faster than normal. By the time this was over. Rezar would be a force to be reckoned with.
