Chapter 165: The Children Of Medusa (V): Battle (1/2)

Moved had to be made it their lives were going to be saved, this Medusa was not something Rezar was well equipped to deal with, so he had to bring everything he possibly could to the table, and that meant hitting this mechanical monster with everything that he possibly could without holding anything back. Rezar took a deep breath as he surged forwards, his form a flock of bats with bloodlust in their eyes. The mechanical hairs, that were really just hundreds of mechanical snakes clumped together shifted as the eyes glowed and lasers by the hundreds shot towards him.

Rezar threw the Khopesh in his left hand to the right, as it stabbed into the canyon walls, the chains serving as a link that free him out if the line of fire of the lasers. He came to a stop on the wall, using the stabbed in Khopesh as a beam to keep himself stuck to the wall. He didn't waste too much time after as he sent the other Khopesh flying towards the Medusa, only for the blade to bounce off it's metallic scales with barely a scratch left behind.

”Hahahaha you would not fight it, it issssss your destiniesssssss to sssssssserve the great BOA empire, ssssssssubmit! Mortalsssssssss”

Her chuckle was beyond creepy, and with the very life like gestures she made, it more than proved to Rezar that this machine, this robot was very much alive, and if it was alive, then it could be killed a lot easier than a machine could. And the same was vice versa, being alive meant the Medusa was not a generic combatant it's bound to definitely cause them a lot of problem. Rezar jumped off the wall, and in that moment he spun in the air, the chains and blades of Vita Gratia whistling through the air.

[Strike Of Nothingness]

It was like feeling the wind move and at the same time it was not. The Medusa was blasted back until it's back impacted the end of the canyon. The massive living machine screeched out in pain, sending a shower of lasers that completely dug holes into the whole of Rezar's body in midair. The Medusa surged forwards, massive mechanical arms swiping forwards with as much speed as a flesh and blood person could muster, and Rezar was thrown backwards until his form was sent to the ground, creating a massive crater in the process.

[You have harvested a piece of an Alien/NPC soul. All stats increased by 10]

Rezar could hardly pay attention to the system notification as there was a flash of light as a massive ball. Of fire flew towards the Medusa, exploding on her metallic frame, pushing the massive bulk backwards. Rezar was annoyed as he slowly got up, watching as a rib pushed out of his body went back in and his exposed femur slowly sink back into his leg. The Kitsunes were laying down some suppressive fire as they pushed the Medusa back and kept her unstable to utilize any skill or tactics. Rezar discovered that all the flames were doing was leaving small dents on it's body rather than causing any sort of damage.

*Hong!*

”Shit!”

[DeathWind Domain]

This time they all had ample warning to go down or get out of the way as the hundreds of mouth of the snakes that made up the locks of her hair, and the main mouth itself was opened to release a slew of combined beams that all joined to make one very large cone of Death. The domain came to live almost immediately, a veritable ball of black wind to keep the worst of the world away, but Rezar knew it wouldn't be enough, so the blood from the [Blood Rain] skill spread as quickly as he could will it to from a wall in the direction to the petrifying beam that could turn them all into stones.

*Bloom!*

For a second Rezar taught all of the defenses he had made wouldn't last, but they did if only for a few seconds, buying time and preventing them from becoming garden decorations. But the shockwaves was something else as they were all thrown backwards, their bodies banging on the ground and through the well sculpted forms of the Nagas, and undead that had previously been turned to stone. Even as they were thrown back, there was a shimmer of golden white light around their forms. It prevented them from getting severely injured, but again Rezar was actually exempted from this as half the skull of a broken Naga statue was found halfway through his neck, his life's blood pumping out of the wound like a fountain in an amusement park. He couldn't speak in that moment so he had to use his telepathy to give orders.

[Concentrate your attacks! It's very resistant to any sort of skill that's energy based, but anyone that leaves a physical impact would leave a dent on it's body. I need you guys to make me a big target! Hit it at one spot and one spot alone.] Rezar ordered, and that was when Roran decided to speak and frankly speaking Rezar was very surprised the Venoik was still alive.

”It can only use that beam every 5 minutes! If we're going to take it down, now's the time.” And then he shrunk into himself like he was some sort of turtle. It was funny, but the young Venoik was right,…..he was young right? Rezar wasn't too sure, but they had to make do with what was now in front of them, especially now that they were working on a tight schedule.
