Chapter 105: Kitsune (V): Running

Rezar was annoyed, he didn't understand why he had to be the one to carry Kari and the Kitsune that just tried to murder him, of course everyone else was saying it wasn't her fault as she was being controlled by NPCS, which even after a few moments, Rezar still found completely ridiculous. There were no NPCS in Elysium, and even if they did, they wouldn't be tiny squid things that latch on to people and sound like a washed out Darth Vader wannabe. It was messed up, it didn't seem as if anything of what he's seem so far made any sense, but never the less he was going to be getting some answers, as soon as they were able to escape from the trio of kitsunes chasing after them.

"Priest! Where are we going? Gynaika asked the old man who at the lead with his Necrotic ant rushing through the forest with a lot more ease than most equine creature would find.

"The Dungeon! Lenore is sure to be there with some contingent of the undead, and some more. We need them to survive against the NPCS!" Rezar huffed in annoyance after that, nothing was making sense, but he was finding getting chased by those Kitsune's really annoying.

"Rezar! Whatever it is your thinking of doing, don't do it! I saw the damage that demon fire did to you, it has still not healed, so don t take any unnecessary risks, we have to regroup first!" Priest snapped at him, but Rezar was way past the point of reasoning, and he had Logic to back him up.

"Regrouping will be all but worthless if these damn things chase us right into the dungeon, and we know for a fact that it's not an instance dungeon so there's no guarantee that they would be able to stop. I need to stall them, neither you or Gynaika have combat classes, and even your classes are combat capable you wouldn't be able to deal them enough damage without taking some in return. Send a message to Lenore, get her and come back here, I can handle all three if I go all out."

Rezar said to them as he removed his feet from the stirrups on Ant Tony, holding on to them as he crouched on the Thorax of the zombie ant. He passed the reins in his hand to Kari as he remained perched on the back of the rushing ant with way more balance than should be capable for him, he looked back to see three black and white fully transformed Kitsune bounding after them, crushing and trampling everything in their path to him.

"Rezar that's completely reckless, even if they follow us into the dungeon there'll be no lose, or at least not much of a lose even if we're caught off guard. This is suicide!"

Rezar knew they were right, but he was the one bringing up the rear, he knew they were catching up, he saw how close they were and he knew they would never make it to the dungeon if the Kitsune kept chasing after them. Rezar looked up and gave a bright smile that couple with disfigured but slowly healing face would have sent chills into the hearts of anyone who looked at him; but Gynaika was no ordinary woman.

[Bat Apparition]

Rezar flew backwards toward s the approaching trio of Kitsunes, his form nothing more than a cloudy mass of bats that surged upward into the sky. Rezar cutting off from his companions was actually enough to stop the chase entirely as their attention was solely focused on Rezar alone. It might seem confusing, but Rezar actually understood why it as this way. Frankly speaking he could see and sense the locations of where the NPCS are latched on to people, that made him a threat to them as he could remove them or accurately direct others to pull them off.

But whatever the reason Rezar absolutely didn't give a shit, this was a fight that he had to handle and face, and he would meet any challenge to the very best of his ability, that's why he was king. Rezar's form came crashing down from the sky, the cloud of bats disappearing the moment all three kitsunes sent blasts of flames at Rezar's falling form. However, with the disappearance of his Apparition skill effects, he was a much smaller target, and the blasts of green flame flew past him with just a little difference of separation.

There was no more time for anyone of them to come up with a counter as Rezar's Scythe happily found purchase in the eyes of one of the Kitsune. His speed and momentum with a lot of help from gravity due to falling from 30 feet in the air, had given the scythe more force than it was qualified to carry. The scythe went deep, all the way to the brain as the Kitsune was instantly killed. But a lull in attention would be really bad as attacking this particular Kitsune had left him open and vulnerable to attacks from the other two.

[Deathwind Domain]

A semi-transparent green and black blue done came into existence above his head, as both him and the remaining two Kitsune were left here. Most would say he was locked in there with them, but even he knew better it was the other way around and they were instead locked in here with him.

[Deathwind Domain: Lvl 2: create a domain 30 meters in diameter where everything is within your control. Within this domain all stats raised by 20% for 30 minutes, all damage to skill caster -120%// This skill can either scale or amplify the blood rain skill, just as the blood rain can also empower it.]

Rezar shifted himself backwards, away from the remaining two Kitsune's as he took a deep breath and steeled his eyes. He might have been here for a diplomatic mission, but none of that meant anything with how much of a shit show this journey had turned to. But no matter what, Rezar knew he was going to come out on top.

[Summon Undead]
