Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 289: Geo-Core (V): Boss

Rezar grunted as he made his way back up to his feet. His summoned skeletons moved along in formation as they made sure to keep close to him. There was a sort of collective aura being released from this particular breed of undead, for some reason, Rezar found it extremely soothing and safe.

Sometime after or perhaps it was during the process of the carnage between Rezar and the spider golems, a door of sorts had popped up at the end of the tunnel to the right, while the hallway to the left just came to a sudden and abrupt end. He raised an eyebrow at that, he really didn't want to admit it, but this bloody Geo-core was messing with his head and it was leaving him feeling pretty uncomfortable. But then again this wasn't something a king like himself would admit, even to the ears of his summoned skeletons.

He marched forwards, his energy and stamina slowly getting refreshed from his upgrade into the silver rank. He came within two meters of the door that had appeared, and all of a sudden the door was raised upwards as a set of stairs was shown, leading down thirty feet to a platform made from golden chain links, like some sort of net spread open to catch some sort of fish.

Right at the middle of the chain link fence or rather platform was the resting form of a spider golem that was without a doubt about a dozen times bigger than the others he had faced. Rezar cocked his head to the side, it was funny but, it seems he was looking at a boss monster. It was a bit worrying but honestly he would be lying if he said he wasn't looking forward to it.

It brought back memories of the eight months he spent stuck in a dungeon, it brought back memories of what he lost, memories of someone he had forgotten. Rezar shook his head as he gave his summoned skeletons a mental order, having them arrange themselves in a phalanx formation. He took a cursory look at the monster as the skeletons moved forwards.

[Elite Copper Spider Golem: Silver Rank I Boss Monster]

Seems like there was a trend to how powerful the monsters in this dungeon were, it completely followed the tropes of other dungeons before the rejuvenation, which means that if there were lower floors or more monsters to face, they would without a doubt be a lot stronger than the deeper he went into the dungeon. But be that as it may, he wasn't backing down, there was no other choice but to go forwards with this, come what may.

"Charge!"

[Mana Charge]

The golem did not even give Rezar and his small team of summoned skeletons a chance to get close to it as multiple bright red beams of light shot out of its eyes, covering every possible escape route, and disintegrating everything it came in touch with. Rezar watched in what almost seemed like slow motion as all of his summoned skeleton soldiers turned to dust; whatever this beam was, it was an attack so powerful that even Rezar at his current state was unable to produce.

But then again even if he was unable to produce an attack that powerful, there was no saying about if he could defend against it. If this attack had come from someone or something that was alive, Rezar would have sensed it and reacted accordingly, but this was sudden as it was swift, he barely had enough time to react to it.

[Bullet Time]

[Mana Blade]

Two of the beams smashed into the blades of Vita Gratia after Rezar had crossed them in an X form. The power behind the beams were so powerful that they blasted the young Vampire King off his feet, sending him hurtling backwards until his back smashed against bronze pillars he had previously not noticed were there.

He fell from the pillars onto the chain platform, with his body bouncing a few times before he made his way back to his feet, relying on his unnatural vampire agility to keep his balance. He combined both blades of Vita Gratia as he took a more solid stance and kept his gaze on the golem in front of him.

After the beam attacks, it seems the golem had to cool off as with a loud hiss, Steam began to escape from the seams and edge of its body. The spider golem went up and down a couple of times, almost as if it was squatting, but Rezar suspected it was just an attempt to cool itself down faster. He counted the seconds, and kept his eyes on the golem. If his first fight against the golems had told him anything, it was that there was a rather complicated pattern to the way they used their beam attacks.

The golems outside were of different sizes even if they were all humanoids, they each had their own patterns with each differing from golem to golem, almost as if each individual golem were unique in their own right or were all made by different people. Regardless of what it was, this boss golem was just the single hurdle he had to surpass, so if it had patterns of its own, Rezar should be able to discover it, and find a way to neutralize it.

*Creeeeaaaaaak! *

The golem got back up to its feet with a loud creaking and groaning sound, all eight of its glowed a deep maroon as Rezar counted forty seconds. The very next second those beams were released again, however, someone dropped down right in front of Rezar as an energy shield made completely of lightning popped into existence in front of them. it was almost as if the beams itself were light that got refracted off a mirror like surface as they seemed to bounce every which way within the confines of the platform they were on.

The beams smashed into the bronze pillars around the platform, turning the entire area into a complete lightshow of flying deadly beams that could burn a hole straight through a person's chest without a seconds thought. Rezar noticed that the beams themselves seemed to bounce off the body of the spider golem, in much the same way it was bouncing off the pillars, so basically its body was refractive, just like the pillars.

There was no pattern to the way the beams moved, this seemed like a secondary attack pattern should the intruder had managed to dodge the first beam attacks that had relived Rezar of his very small army of undead. Which means the very least he could do was try and initiate an attack during the 40 second cooling period when the spider golem would be building power for its next round.

Rezar shifted his head to his savior, locking gaze with the back of Lenore's hair. She looked worse for wear at a glance, but he knew her wounds were just superficial and she was perfectly fine. She was just a bit roughed up, but judging from the grin that was hanging at the edge of her lips, she was obviously enjoying this fight in front of her.

And honestly; Rezar could relate. It has been such a long time since any of them has faced off against something that truly gave them a challenge and would require them to put their hands together to fight against it. This so called dungeon was pushing them to the limit and they were enjoying every second of it, and this was due to the fact that with every limit reached, they broke past it to become stronger, and there was nothing more unique and euphoric than that feeling.

In that second the beams stopped flying about as a flock of bats rushed onto the platform and smashed into the resting Spider golem, lifting its massive bulk off the ground and throwing it to the opposite end, bouncing the massive frame off the chain platform. Rezar heard a few off the links keeping the platform together snap with each movement the spider made, it left him feeling a little worried but it held as Kitagawa made his own entrance after Samira.

His half man/ half Kitsune form soared over the head of the spider golem as a massive stream of demonic fire gushed out of his palms and onto the frame of the golem. There was a loud chittering sound as the spider golem Released steam from its body in an attempt to stave off the heat from Kitagawa's attack, but Rezar was already there holding a recombined Vita Gratia in his left hand while his right smashed forwards, completely encompassed by a small pocket of wind.

*Bang! *

The sound was akin to a loud gong or bell falling from the top of a mountain. Rezar had gotten stronger, physically speaking at this stage he could probably life up a bus with well-practiced ease if he wanted to. His punch created a massive impact on the body of the spider golem as it immediately caused a chain reaction, causing all of its legs to snap, with a massive two meter in diameter dent appearing on its body. Rezar took a step back in an attempt to admire his and his reunited Team's handwork, but just after a few seconds of observing he knew it wasn't over. the spider had split itself...into eight!
