《Gnihzur: The Legendary Prokeral God Crow!》Chapter 24 - Fierce Battle Inside Rankede’s Spatial Imaging
Advertisement
“Get crushed!” Crokan’s monstrous Earth Juggernaut was rampaging throughout the dark battlefield; kicking up storms of rocks along with shooting meteors. Although the others were experiencing the intense pressure of Crokan’s Earth Juggernaut, his main focus was on Zepar the scythe-wielding youth.
“I’ll handle this.” Zepar flew to a safe distance where he could better unleash his weapon of sharp destruction at Crokan’s Earth Juggernaut.
“Bloody Scythe Cremation.” Dark crimson slices crashed into the humungous rock monster, swiftly cutting a few of its arms off along with its upper torso.
“Good job Zepar. You cut through that monster as if it was butter.” This compliment came from Jizel, one of Rankede’s female followers.
Zepar smirked. “Fhm, there is nothing on this planet that I can’t cut.”
“Don’t get too cocky, you dirty worm!” Since the Earth Juggernaut’s arms were severed, Crokan started attacking them with its legs this time around.
Zepar was about to counter but Jizel told him, “Stand down Zepar. Let me get this one.”
“Jizel, he’s all yours.” Zepar flew backwards, giving his comrade room to mess around.
As the Earth Juggernaut’s legs approaches, Jizel pushed her hands in front of her, immediately conjuring a large yellowish Krowqui Circle. Next, some sperm like parasites burst out of the Krowqui Circle in droves. They uninvitingly burrowed into the Earth Juggernaut’s leg.
“Krowqui Bacteria!”
Though the Earth Juggernaut was pure rock essence this didn’t prevent Jizel’s Bacteria from causing a noticeable deformity in its rigid structure which soon caused its legs to explode. The Earth juggernaut tumbled onto the ground.
Staring down at Crokan’s agitated muscular complex, Jizel said, “Your ability is nothing special. It’s just a big clump of dirt. How useless.” She gave him a disdainful eye.
“You bitch!” Crokan angrily climbed out from underneath his broken Earth Juggernaut. Glaring up at Jizel and Zepar who were hovering over him, he spat out, “Damn bastards! I’ll bury both of you alive!”
Crokan penetrated the ground with his brownish Krowqui Circles, causing many dust particles to start coagulating into various sizes of rocks. These multitudes of rocks began to encase the 2 fledglings who opposed Crokan’s tyranny.
“Giant Rock Burial!” The velocity of the upheaving rocks increased drastically. Jizel and Zepar were trying their best to fly out of their range, however, they were being chased all around the limited dark space of Rankede’s creation.
“Huh, over there…?” Gnihzur looked over in their direction for a moment.
“You won’t escape me! Hell is your destination!” Crokan used his Krowqui Circles to manipulate a certain geometric pattern between his palms. Moments after he clasped his hands to signify the last phase of his summoning, many golem arms began protruding from the many rocks that were chasing after Zepar and Jizel.
“Flee all you want but there are only 2 ways this is going to end and in both of them you both die!”

“We’ll see about that!” Zepar wasn’t intimidated by Crokan’s boisterous lip service. “All we have to do is take you down and your Krowqui ability will vanish.” He looked to his left flank. “Jizel let’s finish this jerk off with a combination attack.”
“Got it!”
Zepar and Jizel stopped flying away. Coming still, she grabbed onto the handle of Zepar’s Bloody Scythe and began infusing her virulent Krowqui inside. Zepar weapons gained a new darker appearance of destruction.
“Bloody Scythe, Bacteria Ululation!”
The various slashes that escaped the sharp edges of Zepar’s evolved weapon quickly obliterated the myriad of rocks that was chasing after them. Next, they started tossing out deadly slashes toward Crokan; one hit alone was enough to mutilate him completely. However, Crokan wasn’t going to let that happen.
“Golems Arise!” Just as he was about to get cut to pieces, Crokan created 2 golems to protect him. They were shattered immediately, moreover, the deadly slashes were still travelling towards Crokan’s proximity, almost like an automated tracker. “Impossible!”
Noticing the shock on Crokan’s countenance as he tried to flee, Jizel told him, “You muscular fool. You thought that your puny golem could block our combination attack? Now you will die!”
“No!” Crokan was inches away from turning into minced meat when all of a sudden one of his teammates suddenly came out of his back and rescued him.
“Krowqui Cancelation!” Ulkio had two special daggers in his hands that he used to slice through the dark crimson slashes!
Crokan gave a sigh of relief. Touching his comrade’s shoulder, he spoke, “Ulkio, when did you get passed my Earth Juggernaut and hid inside my body?”
“I didn’t get past it. I was inside your feathers the entire time since you summoned the Earth Juggernaut. I’m surprised you didn’t notice my presence.”
“Well, I’m glad for your help.”
“Don’t mention it, we’re brothers after all.”
“Right.”
“Huh?” Seeing how Crokan was still in one piece shocked the minds of Zepar and Jizel. “That new upstart he cut through our combination attack as if it was nothing.”
Jizel surmised, “He’s the guy who gave that one a Krowqui Boost earlier. It appears that he can also nullify Krowqui attacks. Zepar, I’ll leave that one to you I’m not that good with close-range combat.”
“I understand. Let’s get them!” Zepar and Jizel began their charge toward their opponents.
“Here they come! Can you still fight brother?”
“Don’t underestimate me, Ulkio. I have plenty of Krowqui left.”
“Then let’s do this!” Crokan and Ulkio leapt into the air, flying towards Jizel and Zepar with bloodthirsty intensity. Ulkio had his cancellation daggers held firmly and Crokan produced 2 large golem hands to assist him.
“WOAAAAH!” Both parties collided, causing a tumultuous series of explosions.
Bloody Scythe! Vs Hallow Daggers! & Bacteria! Vs Golem Arms!

“Krowqui Grenades!” On another side of the dark battlefield, Sex9 a lady fledgling who was another one of Crokan’s underlings was throwing multiple Light Grenades at Rankede and 3 others.

“Evade!” They flew backwards but suffered the brunt force of the blast.
“Nice going Sex9!” Wruu commended her efforts.
“Don’t celebrate yet. We haven’t defeated them.” Sex9 gave a cautious gaze to her opponents.
Rankede surfaced from the dyeing blast with a livid temperament. “You fools! You dare to resist me? I shall make your death a memorable one!”
“Quit your yapping, punk! Spatial Coquette Creation!” Wruu trapped Rankede along with his followers inside a transparent dimension. “Sex9 I’ve created an opening for you. Let them have it!”
“Krowqui Grenades!” Sex9 threw her explosives into the opening that Wruu produced specifically for her. Seconds later, the bombs detonated.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“That should finish them off. Even if they survive they must be in critical condition.”
As Wruu and Sex9 continued to observe the barrier filled with smoke, they notice an unscathed hand touching the invisible dimensional wall. “What?”
“Such mediocre talent could never overwhelm me.” Rankede showed his full self as he inspected the dimensional wall. “I can see that you’re abilities are very similar to mine. You wouldn’t happen to be affiliated with the Andrahaz Family are you?”
“…” Wruu ignored his inquiry.
“Never mind.” Rankede inputted some of his Krowqui into the barrier. “Spatial Coquette Disperse!” The barrier crumbled.
“Ah, that’s better. It is much easier to breathe. Now, where were we?” Rankede gave his cold eyes to Sex9 and Wruu. “Yes, that’s it. I believe you 2 were about to give me your lives.”
“Keep dreaming, psycho.” Wruu rebelled.
“Hoo, I can assure you that this is not a dream.” Rankede gestured to his followers, “Surround them!”
In only a matter of seconds, Wruu and Sex9 were surrounded by Rankede and his minions. 2 on the ground and 2 in mid-air. “We’re making sure that you can’t run nor fly away.”
Hearing Rankede’s ridiculous boasting, Wruu responded, “Eh, we weren’t planning to. Now come get some!” He beckoned them with brave intensity.
“With pleasure.” Rankede assented. He along with his minions started attacking their 2 opponents simultaneously.
Wruu created a spatial barrier that blasted them away. Afterwards, he rushed directly at Rankede and Pyro who were above while Sex9 rushed towards Giamond and Tammoy who were below.
Giamond and Tammoy were twins of the opposite gender, however, no one would be able to tell them apart without close inspection. Tammoy was the female and Giamond was the male.
Pyro was a dubious character who similarly to Jizel uses parasitical Krowqui of a more grotesque nature. After Wruu evaded an attack from Rankede and approached him, he sprayed out some poisonous fumes from his mouth that went directly into Wruu’s eyes.
“Ugh! My eyes!” Wruu covered his face in consternation; causing his vision to become obscured temporarily.
Rankede took advantage of his ephemeral blindness to launch a frontal kick assault that should have pounded Wruu into the ground. However, Wruu’s reflexes were exceptional. He caught Rankede’s leg during mid-thrusts then slammed him into the ground instead.
“Parasite Spray.” Seeing Rankede getting slammed abruptly, Pyro came along spitting out virulent fumes at Wruu. This batch of vapour was deadlier than the last. They weren’t meant to cause temporary blindness but rather a swift decaying of flesh.
“Spatial Coquette!” Sensing the imminent danger seeking to snuff out his mortality, Wruu aimed his hand towards Pyro and conjured a transparent globular field which slowed down his movements.
Sex9 who was close by tossed a few Light Grenades at the immobile Rankede and Pyro. While the explosions kicked up, her 2 opponents who she took her attention from briefly, began rushing her in unison.
Tammoy locked hands with Giamond in order to start spinning him around in a powerful spiral. After building enough momentum, she threw Giamond at Sex9. During his impetus, a beastly entity formed around his effeminate figure.
“Krowqui, Buffalo Aura!” The mighty energetic presence crashed into Sex9, sending her flying until she was eventually lost in the dark zones of Rankede’s Spatial Imaging.
“Sex9!” Looking back at his disappearing friend, Wruu hollered her cognomen in angst.
Rankede smiled upon identifying his grim expressions. “Ho, you think it is wise to worry about others in your current situation?” Rankede boasted with his 3 comrades now standing firmly by his side.
“You should be worrying about yourself! Air Palm!” Rankede thrust his hands forwards which shot out repeated series of compressed air that was pressing Wruu’s body further and further into the dusty surface area.
Recognizing that Wruu had become completely static, Rankede told his minion, “Pyro finish him off.”
“Kru-kru-kru!” Laughing hysterically, Pyro began moving closer to Wruu’s proximity with his poisonous emerald Krowqui Circles oscillating by his mouth.
“Krowqui Parasitic Womb!”
“Barf!” Pyro spat out a gross amniotic sack from his stomach. Sticky drools along with beating veins were wrapped all around its grotesque exterior. The bulging centre was partially visible; depicting a roughly shaped boneless organism moving around inside.
“Huh, what is that?” Wruu along with the others witnessed the swift growth and morphing process of the visible organism.
What burst forth from the eerie amniotic sack seconds later was a monstrous flesh-eating worm of ominous qualities. Even Rankede and the others were disgusted; only Pyro alone wasn’t disturbed.
“Kru-kru-kru!” Pyro exuded a burst of evil laughter as he stood behind his regurgitated creation. Touching the monstrous worm creature, he issued a command, “Gallum… Go and feast on that wounded crow’s flesh!”
“ROOOOAAAAA!”
“Huh?” Wruu became extremely fearful upon seeing the maleficent worm monster rushing towards him in a slithering rage! He tried his best to move his body to safety, however…
Chomp!

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y
