Chapter 293: Geo-Core (IX): The Dance Begins (1/2)
Rezar took slow definite steps on the pathway that led to as the Geo-core had put it; the ring. But it was better to call it a platform than a ring considering the absence of ropes and whatnot. But be that as it may, this was still a well-made and well detailed 'platform' to kill a bloody elf queen.
There were intricate designs etched all over the surface of the platform, it was a multitude of colors, that crisscrossed and interlocked with each other to create an extremely beautiful pattern that when looked at for a very long time, could someone dizziness due to how disorganized but beautiful it was.
He took a deep breath as raised his head up. Making sure to step onto the platform properly. The moment he stepped onto it a barrier of sorts rose up behind him, effectively blocking his path backwards. There were a total of six pathways with three of them in direction he just came from, and the other three in the direction of the snow queen. They all led to different entrances, but never the less only two was in use.
His path back has been cut off, so he couldn't get any help. Never the less the snow queen moved forwards, however she didn't move ahead alone as three other snow elves arrived on top of the platform along with her. Rezar raised an eyebrow at the current development, he raised his head up as he heard Lenore complaining loudly.
”but that's not fair! Isn't this fight between the queen and the king, why did you allow helpers for the snow elf queen and not for the king. Was this all a trap?” she asked with an accusatory tone, lightning already beginning to spark off her body.
”Quiet wench! You should be quiet when your betters are making moves.” One of the snow elf followers, a male snow elf holding onto an ornately crafted silver staff growled out, causing Rezar to raise his other eyebrow in surprise as he agreed within himself to kill that guy first.
[I SAID THAT THE FIGHT IS BETWEEN THE KING AND QUEEN, AND THEY ARE FREE TO UTILIZE ANY RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THEM IN ORDER TO WIN, INCLUSIVE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE AND FOLLOW THEM. THE SNOW ELF QUEEN JUST CHOSE TO UTLIZE HER TOOLS AS I'M SURE THE KING OF MORTE BIANCA WOULD ALSO DO.]
”But that's not fair! How was he supposed to know that- ”Rezar swiftly raised his right arm up bringing an end to Lenore's Tirade. He shook his head with a mirthful smile as he turned to her and said loud enough for everyone to hear.
”What's all the fuss about, you know there's no way in hell I'm going to lose here. Simmer down love, let daddy do all the work.” Rezar said as he levied his gaze on the snow elf queen and her retinue.
”You sound awfully confident flor a child who is outnumbered 4 to 1, and soon to be dead.” The snow elf queen said to Rezar as she pulled out a pair of dual daggers. Before raising them up to her lips and licking them both in an extremely sultry and nerve jarring fashion as they made clean cuts on her tongue. But she smiled and swallowed, showing her bloodied teeth and exposing a hint of her madness to Rezar.
”It's not a matter of being confident, I just understand facts and reality. And the reality of this scenario is that... you are all going to die!”
And with that said Rezar shot forwards, his form a blur as he crossed the distance between him and the snow elves to appear in front of the queen, swinging Vita Gratia in its dual khopesh from left to right and right to left to spilt her into a couple of pieces. The queen spread her daggers out, intercepting Rezar's strikes as a halberd came swing for his neck.
He dodged down with his blades still keeping the Queen's occupied. The halberd missed, but his legs were frozen solid to the ground, courtesy of the elf with the staff who had used a binding spell. But Rezar wasn't so worried about that as the snow elf queen sent a knee flying for the middle of his face. Rezar opened his mouth wide and bit down on her thighs, making sure his exposed fangs pierced through, however he met a wall of obstruction and was unable to sink his fangs into her pale succulent thighs.
He felt something wrap around his neck as the queen rushed backwards, flustered and caught off guard by Rezar almost sinking his teeth into her body. He felt the rope around his neck yanked backwards as his trapped legs were forcefully ripped from the ice that kept them bound and he was thrown into the air until his back smashed hard into the barrier that bow surrounded the entire ring. He felt while they heard his neck crack, but rather than fall in a heap to the ground, Rezar landed on his feet, going down to his knees a bit with his head bent backwards at an awkward angle.
