Necron: The Legend Of Rezar DeathWind

Chapter 291: Geo-Core (VII): Chamber Of Illusion

"Oww my head!"

"Oww my Face!"

"Oww My Tail!"

"Shut IT!"

Rezar snapped as he shakily got back up to his feet, trying and failing at not making a face full of disgust at the murky waters they just suddenly found themselves in. they all landed on varied. Body parts, but Rezar didn't think it was necessary enough that they all had to start complaining about it one after the other like some choreographed act. He shook his head to het his bearings back as he looked at their current state.

They were in an enclose chamber with pipes running from the thirty-foot-tall ceiling into the tiled ground bellowed them. there were various outlets on the ground made for draining water or perhaps to let water in. it was hard to tell which, but given their current location, it could be anyone of those two, and it would still serve to be a danger to them all.

"Where the fuck are we?" he asked out loud, more to himself than to anyone else with no expectation of getting an answer back.

"We're in a hole your majesty." Kitagawa replied with a pondering look on his face.

"No shit Sherlock!" Samira replied back sarcastically.

Rezar shook his head as he turned around, trying to take in every inch of this chamber they suddenly found themselves. Lenore kept silent as she stayed close to him, also taking her time to observe what was going on, or at the very least trying to find something out of place within the chamber, not as if being within the chamber was considered normal anyway. Lenore moved closer to the walls while Rezar looked above him, before noticing something completely off.

"Is it just me, or does it seem like the roof is continuously moving upwards, like perhaps it's a few dozen feet higher than when we first woke up?"

"It's not just you your majesty, it is happening, and currently the chamber is currently being filled with water, but seeing how its hissing, I would say we're dealing something toxic. Or maybe acid."

Rezar could not help out laughing at the absurdity of it all, this was like a scene from an Indiana jones movie remake. Dungeons, temples and ruins weren't sticking to the status quo if they did not have puzzles and challenges like this. But frankly speaking this might not be a challenge at all and might just be the dungeon's attempt to kill them all. It would be beyond stupid to believe that the dungeon itself was being fair seeing as it was created the snow elves and the dwarves they were allied with it.

"So I guess we have to find a way to either get out of here, or stop the roof from going up and the floor from spewing acid at us lovely!" Lenore spat out as Rezar suddenly took a huge leap, planting his feet on side of the chamber wall and then pushing off of it to the next.

He used this method to keep on jumping, but the higher he went the higher the roof became, it seemed endless, like a tower that reach the heavens. He stabbed Vita Gratia into the wall and stopped to look down, only for him to have his eyes widened as he realized he was just three meters above the ground. It was almost as if the five minutes he spent flipping from one wall to the other was all for show, it was safe to say that he had never come across something like this before.

"This is an illusion your majesty... well at least I think the roof itself is an illusion, but the chamber that's rapidly being filled with acid is definitely real. What we need to do is find an anchor point for the illusion. The world might have changed, along with a lot of the rules that govern abilities. Things have become a lot more technical, which means, there's a process to the application and release of skills.

And illusions are one of the most technical aspects of magic. It goes beyond just creating an image that would deceive the person looking at it. The art of illusion goes deep into actually projecting your chosen image scenery or scenario into the mind of your target. But sight is not enough, a good illusion deceives all the senses of sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell. This is what we use to make our illusions, to the point we could possible use that to control the mind.

But that's too much senses to pay attention to at any given time, a single illusion is made up of a greater sum of different parts each catered to deceiving a particular sense. So it would need an anchor point, a frame to spread the roots of each individual illusion. If we can find the frame, we can unravel the illusion, even if it's not the whole of it, at least a part of it should be able to help us get out of here."

"Or we could just pull this nifty look lever here and see what it does?" Rezar suggested as he held on to a lever hanging over his head. if all of the things he has seen in old school movies were true, then the moment he pulled this lever shit was going to hit the fan, but then again this was Elysium, who's to say anything bad was going to happen.

"Don't do it Your Majesty! Nooooo!" Kitagawa's shout of warning fell on deaf ears as Rezar pulled the Lever, causing the entire chamber to rumble like the apocalypse had come to play. The water that was now above the knees bubbled and roiled like it was being boiled as parts of the wall broke off and fell around them and into the pool of acid with a splash.

Rezar stood there with a calm expression, just watching the chaos around him, waiting to see how it would end. Kitagawa, Lenore and Samira had huddle together, their breaths held as they waited for the worst. But just as quickly as it started the entire shaking stopped and a door opened up on the bottom of the chamber.

It was strange to say the least, the moment the door opened, it almost seemed as if the chamber flipped itself. A small wave of vertigo and dizziness, Rezar and his team found themselves in a tunnel, or rather the chamber seemed to have fallen down or had its gravity changed. So now instead of the door being beneath them it was right in front of them.

The door was opened, but they couldn't see what was beyond as all it released was bright light, Rezar looked at Kitagawa and shrugged his shoulders before marching to the entrance with a smug look on his face. The leader of the Sons of Dawn King's Guard Division felt incredibly annoyed by the king he served, it wasn't necessary for Rezar to look so smug about it.

But then again who could blame him, it was all Kitagawa's fault for choosing to serve a king that was still a bloody teenager. Scenarios and situations like this would probably become the norm of his future, but then again what could he do about it, he was stuck with him.

"Well then subjects! Onwards and upwards I guess. This place is beginning to piss me off." Rezar said as he walked through the doorway, with his three companions following behind him with an exasperated look on their face, sometimes he was just a little too much. But just like Kitagawa had come to realize there wasn't really much they could do about this. he was the king after all, they were STUCK!
