Chapter 294: Geo-Core (X): Snow Fall
Giant genie snow men? Or something of the sort, Rezar wasn't so sure how he would categorize what sort of creatures the snow elf queen and her followers has turned into. But regardless of what they were, as always, he would beat them down. Rezar decided to take the initiative as he rushed towards them, both blades of Vita Gratia at the ready, eager for blood and destruction, or at least whatever the hell these giant ice monsters were going to bleed.
[Mana Blade]
Both blades of vita gratia developed a dark blue glow as every motion made with Rezar running left a blur and trails of blue light flaking into the air. He rushed at the 'abominable snowmen 'in front of him, but six meters away from them the creature that was now the snow elf queen swung her now gigantified daggers, releasing a blast of frost and ice shards that slammed into Rezar's approaching form.
He was blasted backwards and airborne for a few seconds as a whip whistled through the air and slashed into his body, splitting his insides open, as his entrails hung out for a moment t as his back smashed into the barrier. The snowman with the halberd suddenly appeared in front of him, stabbing the halberd towards his head. Rezar was cut off guard by their sudden boost in speed, they were probably at the peak of the silver rank, or perhaps in the gold rank, but he couldn't exactly be sure as he didn't have a reference for how powerful an individual in the gold rank would be.
[Bullet Time]
Even with the time stoppage effect of the bullet time skill, the halberd wielding snowman was moving at a speed that could even move past the power of the bullet time skill. Rather than being stopped in place, he was moving in a slow motion that was a little bit too fast. Rezar evaded to the side, letting the snow elf go past him a bit. But just as the elf was about to completely move past Rezar, the smaller vampire king stabbed his left blade straight through the heart of the snow elf.
The bullet time skill ran its duration as the inertia of the snow elf came to a jarring halt. Rezar used his superior strength to raise the snowman/snow elf still stabbed onto his Khopesh up, and then brought his heavy body smashing down to the platform below.
The moment his body smashed into the ground he suddenly broke into a million pieces, leaving behind a pile of ice and snow, with a desiccated snow elf right in the middle of it with a terrified expression on his face. Rezar envisioned he must have been really too reluctant to die, but then again, he doubted there was ever anyone in existence who would be willing to embrace death with open arms, they all wanted to live.
"I told you I was going to be playing with you all, so snow queen bitch. That's two down, two left." Rezar commented with a rather sinister smile as his ripped open stomach completely mended.
Seeing how effective his healing factor was, the snow elf queen and her final attendant did not immediately rush in. Rezar was immortal, it didn't matter what rank he was, by virtue of being a vampire, the undead king was practically un-killable. They would need a whole lot more hits to bring him down, heck it might be that they needed to completely vaporize his body to be completely sure of his demise.
"DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
But it didn't matter how much of an insurmountable mountain Rezar was, he had to die for the snow elf queen to be able to achieve anything. For her to bring the vision of the snow elf civilization's future. The grand vision she had of herself becoming the most powerful individual in all of Elysium, then this vampire… this king had to die. There was no going back from this, this fight truly was to the death.
Just as she moved forwards, the last spectral skull that up until this point had been missing from this fight fell from the sky, right onto the head of the snow elf that had been wielding the whip. She let out a loud scream of pain as the snow elf queen turned around to see what was going on. Rezar sent both blades flying forwards, their chains seemingly whistling through the air like the ominous wails of a thousand ghosts, before stabbing into the chest of the snow elf with the whip.
"GET OVER HERE!"
Rezar smiled as the blades began to retract dragging the injured snow woman/ snow elf thingy towards him. Regardless of the current state of things, Rezar quickly realized that even if their transformation seemed really fearsome and they had incredible speed the snow elves had an extremely weak defense, heck they were no different from the glass cannon build of mages. They were heavy reliant on their speed and magic with only a few snow elves being different.
Never the less the chains retracted dragging the snow elf back to Rezar; and as it drew closer, frost began to evaporate of its body until a heavily injured snow elf was now laying on the ground beneath Rezar's feet, with two Khopesh sticking out of her chest. She was still alive, but it was only for a limited amount of time. Rezar shook his head as if he was pitying the snow elf, but giving the snow elf queen a smile that was a little bit brighter than normal, Rezar stomped his foot down hard. Smashing the head and beautiful face of the snow elf into pieces like it was a ripe watermelon.
"Arrrghhhh! Rezar Deathwind! I'll kill you! I'll Kill you!" The snow elf queen raged but still she didn't make a move from her position, her body obviously shaking with more fear than she would ever admit.
"Oh? You will kill me? But my dear…. You're already dead."
[Glorious Crucifixion]
It was almost as if the world itself screamed out in pain. Vita Gratia trembled within Rezar's grasp as he stabbed it into the ground in front of him. The Snow elf queen scarcely had a time to breath when iron bars began to shoot out of the ground, stabbing deeply into her body as she was raised up into the sky.
The bands seemed to twist and squirm around each other and within her body as they congregated to form an ornate silver and gold cross that she now hung precariously from. There were hundreds of small spikes that pierced into her body, slowly draining her blood as her monstrous transformation fade away and her normal form was laid bare in front of Rezar, exposed and bloody. He moved forwards, every step he took definite and special in its own right as he picked at his finger nails, drawing a page out of Lenore's book.
"There's only so much bullshit I can take in my life your majesty, you repeatedly provoked me. You saw me as something no different from an animal, and even worse you thought I was just some child who had no idea what he was doing. It's unfortunate but you picked a fight you never r should have, because even if you won the war between our kingdoms, I would have still made sure you lost and paid a price so steep you would have regretted waking up every morning.
So while your pathetic and useless; life fades away from existence, do tell me if you have any last words or requests. Especially considering I have your daughter locked up at the very top of a tower. I could be merciful and give it to her before I pluck her eyes out and send her to an orc brothel, I'm sure she would be treated quite well over there."
"Hehehehe…. 'cough!' you think yourself and your kingdom untouchable? You think you're strong enough to stand against the greed of the entirety of Elysium? If so you're even more of a fool and a child than I thought, you were. If it's not me, it would be the theocracy coming for you with their paladins and army of the dead. You're just one person, you will eventually fall to the appetite of this world. If not in this generation, then in the next…. Your kingdom and yourself will be eaten up!"
Rezar cocked his head to the side as if he was contemplating some deep truths of life, however what he said next to the snow elf queen was entirely different than what she expected.
"You must be really stupid! Appetite? Are you serious right now? You're dying and that's the crap you choose to spill out of your stupid mouth! I AM A FUCKING VAMPIRE! I'm the monster with the bigger appetited at any given time or place, I've just been keeping it in control so as not to throw this world into chaos. But I think its about time I show them just who has the bigger appetite, unfortunately for you snow queen bitch…. You will not live to see it!"
