Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 406: Echoes of Courage and Loyalty (V) Confrontation, Blessing of the Dark Apostle

"I can finish it right here..."

Deep in the earth's crust, 70 kilometers above the surface, Calvin stood in front of the entrance to the web, a majestic building that was older than human history. He looked at the demon in front of him and the fallen behind him and said to Tybus on the communication channel.

After seeing the full picture of Calvin's soul, the demon in front of him also used psychic communication to inform Appius behind him of its current situation:

"As much as I hate to say this, I can probably only help you delay a few breaths..."

"How many breaths? How is that possible?" Appius looked at the demon's back and asked in disbelief.

You must know that although the demon in front of you is not famous, it is rare in the temple of the Lord of Changes and is famous for its ability to fight.

In order to get its true name, Appius and the dark apostle who tempted him to fall paid a huge price.

And what is this demon doing to him now? How many breaths? Are you kidding? Could it be that the person in front of it is a being like the father of its genes?

Not sure...

Looking at Calvin's super-sized body and eyes filled with thunder, Appius also fell silent.

This level of body shape can no longer be explained by genetic mutations or extraordinary talents...

Appius has served for more than 300 years. He has been lucky enough to meet someone like Moloch from the Tauren Chapter, or someone from the Man-eating Shark Legion active in the Ghoul Star Territory.

It's not like he has never seen what kind of effects their powerful bodies and super-modified Terminator power armor can achieve together.

But the existence in front of him is obviously not within this category. His terrifying aura does not come from the strength of his body. To put it bluntly, the aura that makes him tremble just by seeing it is being controlled by this physical body. limit……

Is it really the Primarch?

Then why...have you not come until now...

Reason gained the upper hand in Appius's heart for a moment, and was immediately filled with the distortion of chaos and the hatred filled in his heart.

He laughed at himself in a low voice and then clenched the scepter in his hand. While activating the spell that he had prepared countless times, he also said to the demon in front:

"I see……"

The battle ahead had already broken out. The demon watched Calvin gradually walk in and chose to attack first, aiming the gorgeous double-headed snake spear in his direction.

boom!

The beam of light formed by the blue spell spanned a hundred meters of space in an instant and hit the psychic shield that automatically appeared in front of Calvin. The violent shock wave blew up air waves around Calvin, causing the ancient stone ground beneath his feet to shed its dust and reveal itself to the sky, revealing the carved traces of a foreign civilization.

And an explosion-like roar immediately sounded on these stone slabs. The huge force pressed down vertically from the steel boots to the stone slabs, causing these stone piles that resembled stone slabs to crack in the scream, and at the same time, the same force was exerted on the original body itself. .

Buzz!

Calvin, who had disappeared from the spot, suddenly appeared on the demon's head. The sword of the Empire's truth crossed the barrier of space and appeared on the demon's head with layers of air waves and explosions.

The devil's golden, reptile-like snake eyes suddenly narrowed, reflecting the increasingly larger adamantine sword blade. Veins sprouted on his arms that were thicker than a human waist, and a double-headed snake spear as thick as a goose egg was underneath. Head to head in one second!

boom!

A harsh roar exploded between the inhuman bodies, and the invisible air turned into tangible air waves, surging around with the weapons of both sides as the center.

The moment the thick ceramic steel gauntlet collided with the threads of the sword hilt, the latter was bitten like a steel plier without shaking at all. The gilded scales on the alien snake spear were broken by the blade, and sputtered out while moaning. Dazzling sparkle.

The tiny blood vessels collided with each other due to the extreme strength, bursting into pieces on the demon's arms and releasing pieces of blood mist.

The hair on the original body's forehead was also blown straight back as the air scrambled to escape.

It was only then that the harsh sound of metal clashing filled the ears of everyone watching the battle.

And this is just the surface of the battle.

The Imperial Guards and Gray Knights stood far away on the edge of the battlefield. From their perspective, more confrontations were still taking place in this millisecond, at both the physical and spiritual levels.

The two gilded alien long swords slashed at Calvin more than a dozen times at a cunning and unbelievable angle while breathing;

The evil words sounded in the ears of the original body with dirty power. While trying to loosen Calvin's will, the vicious spells and spell-like spells seemed to have no cost. This high-level demon cast them like instinct. Down, densely sprinkled towards the original body.

However, the devil did not feel any joy of victory due to these attacks. On the contrary, its heart continued to fall downwards with each attack.

Because it knows that those are useless attacks, and everything it does now is just to delay.

The spiritual energy that could knead steel in the past was like a breeze blowing in front of that golden soul, not even his hair was blown;

After the vicious curses and blasphemous spells were projected onto Calvin, they were like a mud cow entering the sea, without a trace of response or echo.

The time spell that has been tried and tested in countless battles has also failed. In a short span of time, it has tried hundreds of times to predict the movements of the original body, and it has also jumped several times in the river of time.

But these attempts were useless. All the attacks were easily blocked by the heavy sword, and all the prophecy spells, after being cast at the cost of the two broken eyes, only received a mocking response from the Primarch.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

The demons were still waving their weapons tirelessly. The slashing and stabbing of the snake spears and war blades, which seemed incredible to mortals, did not pose any threat to the Primarch.

The simple and powerful blocking of the Imperial Truth was like a wall of sighs, standing still in the face of the demons' tide-like offensive.

And just like all real battles, the suffocating attack and defense will only last for a moment, and then under the scale called war, the strength and weakness, the high and low, the victory and defeat, and the life and death will be immediately determined.

"Is the skill limited to this?" Calvin suddenly asked.

However, before the demons responded, after a peak of confrontation, the demons who resisted frantically under the support of the desire to survive finally reached the limit of the body given to them by the physical universe.

Puff...

After the snake spear in his hand broke unexpectedly and the double swords failed to block, the big head carried by its huge body was finally cut off by the powerful sword of the Empire Truth, and then turned into ashes in the fierce burning.

This was the first time that Calvin used his martial arts with all his strength after his body developed, and it was also a cautious attempt for him to deliberately suppress his spiritual power and try to explore the strength of his body.

Calvin's soul strength and the essence of his power made the various exquisite and complex spells cast by the demon seem like a joke.

And under the deliberate restraint of his spiritual power, after several seconds of being chopped by him with a hundred kilograms of sword at full strength nearly twenty times per second, he finally touched the edge of his physical strength.

"Gaudy..." Calvin, who had relaxed, fell on the open space behind the demon. He said to Appius in front of him as the demon's headless body fell heavily to the ground.

This was his evaluation of the demon behind him and all the wizards who relied on manipulating spells.

Because in his eyes, all the so-called knowledge and power obtained from the gods can only be as illusory and fragile as a sand tower in the end.

This is also his evaluation of the fallen man in front of him. When he gave up himself and placed his hope on the gods, today's failure was already doomed.

As the devil's contractor, Appius has lost the ability to refute at this time.

The life form created by his contract with the devil, which can be called a two-headed snake, is destined to make him and the devil prosper and suffer together.

The soul trauma caused by the fall of the devil made him sit in front of the entrance of the webway with convulsions all over his body and wait for his collapse.

Calvin took a step forward, and the truth of the empire in his hand was raised high.

However, the abnormality on Appius's body made him alert again-a familiar but unfamiliar mark lit up on Appius's body.

Calvin's mind quickly searched for relevant information, and a second later, a document from the Inquisition made him recognize the meaning of the mark in front of him:

"The shepherd of chaos, the apostle who walks in the darkness and sows the seeds of disaster - the Word Bearer."

A huge amount of magic power flowed back from the dead demon to Appius, and the latter's already awake eyes were filled with madness similar to the last rays of light under the enrichment of this power.

The air flow blew from the void, and the heavy canvas behind the former chief priest of the son of Guilliman was blown up on the spot, and the piles of explosives that were originally hidden also revealed their hidden threats at this time.

"I... am guilty!" Looking at Calvin walking in front of him, Appius groaned.

He raised his head with all his strength to look at the ruins left on the battlefield in the distance, and all the betrayals and blasphemies over the past hundreds of years flashed through his mind again.

Calvin looked at Appius in front of him without speaking, but the storm hidden in his eyes was already accumulating rapidly.

"But I must go back!... I must go back!" Feeling Calvin's psychic energy, Appius turned his head to look at the entrance of the webway, and then looked at the demigod in front of him again, his tone changed from regret to madness.

His broken soul was gathered in will, and was visibly forced together by the blessing of the dark apostle. The powerful and filthy psychic energy overflowed from him, and after completely leading this former extreme warrior to corruption, it shot towards the webway behind him with some unknown wave!

Hmm? Calvin, who noticed the abnormality, threw the psychic energy accumulated in his hand in a thunderous way without hesitation, but the fallen Appius seemed to be prepared. After actively cutting off and throwing his arm, he disappeared instantly after taking away Calvin's fatal blow.

Boom!

A violent explosion sounded from the place where Appius disappeared. After the blazing fire flashed, the stone door leading to the webway remained motionless under the protection of the energy shield.

But Calvin and the people behind him were not comforted, because at the moment of the explosion, they heard a crisp sound clearly in their ears through the huge roar.

A crisp sound like glass or crystal cracking.

The former priest of Guilliman's son had disappeared on the spot, and what was left for Calvin and others was the ancient portal that was connected to reality again after the seal was broken.

"We are in trouble..." Calvin said to Tiberus on the track.
