Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords! - Chapter 515

Chapter 511 06.0510: ‘Benign mutation’

The Shaper Chief’s ferocious beast eyes looked at the humans rushing towards him, and he noticed something strange.

As a race that follows the path of genetic evolution, the Shaper Chief is the leader who determines the direction and path of the clan’s development. The Kroot are highly susceptible to the effects of ingested genes, and the Shaper is the only individual capable of counteracting this nature, so it is up to him to determine what the tribe eats and does not eat.

Although the human being in front of him doesn’t seem to have anything special, he can feel that there is a surging power in his body. This power does not come from his sophisticated equipment, but from his body. , stemming from a certain essence of him.

This is a power that has never been seen before, and it is completely different from those genetically modified warriors called ‘Astartes’ – his genes are natural and pure, without the unique trauma and trauma of genetically modified warriors. Rough.

“Kill this human! I will devour his flesh and blood! This is exactly what our race needs!”

The chief waved his war club and pointed his troops directly at Horatio.

The soldiers who were fighting with Valina nearby roared after receiving the order, gave up their defense, and swarmed towards Horatio at the cost of casualties.

brush!

A flash of cold light flashed, and Brother Korchagin emerged from the shadows, holding a tactical knife and inserting it straight into the forehead of an alien. He then used the silver-armored arm of the Death Watch to swing the corpse over, and blocked the densely packed knocks. Pulse gun blade.

“Ha!” The silver steel chain clattered, and he shouted loudly. He used the chain wrapped around his arm to twist the oncoming blade, and then used a swing of both strength and skill, and several pulse guns flew out and smashed him. On the bulkhead.

The unexpected surprise surprises the aliens. Their eyes can sense heat. Before that, they had not found any trace of this black-armored genetically modified warrior.

But Horatio could see that Brother Korchagin’s target was actually the Shaper Chief, but in order to cover his assault, he temporarily changed the battle plan and attacked in advance, clearing enough space for him to fight the Shaper Chief one on one. venue.

Moreover, Brother Korchagin’s raven-type power armor is specialized for concealment, and has a layer of experimental paint coating that he carefully maintained – this can help the surface of his power armor automatically adjust the temperature difference according to the ambient temperature.

Just like the coating on Horatio’s stealth fighter in his previous life, this specially processed material is precious and difficult to maintain, and the manufacturing process is a secret of the Raven Guard Chapter.

At least from this point of view, it can be judged that before Brother Korchagin joined the Death Watch, he must have come from the first five combat companies of the Raven Guard, rather than ordinary warriors from six to ten companies.

“Thank you, Brother Korchagin.” Horatio jumped behind the monk and slashed at Chief Shaper with his sword.

This group of cannibalistic alien chiefs are the best-fed and most evolved leaders among the entire clan. As long as they are enemies defeated by this clan, there is no enemy that has not had their flesh and blood devoured by them.

Therefore, it has eaten some flesh and blood that other tribesmen have never tasted, and gained corresponding evolutionary abilities.

Horatio slashed down with his sword, and while it was panicking on the outside, it smiled slyly on the inside, and the double-headed war club in its hand rotated smoothly.

The chain sword roared and collided with the war club, but it was bounced away like hitting adamantine steel.

Horatio’s iron hand grasped tightly to prevent the chain sword from flying away, but the chief caught Horatio’s back and wiped his throat with the knife.

[! ]

This fatal attack triggered the Omen Shard’s passive, and he raised his pistol and aimed it at its head, forcing it to deflect its war club and defend itself.

He did, and the war club aimed at his throat whirled, knocking his pistol away.

But the next moment the war stick spun and knocked away his bolt pistol, the blade behind the tail of the double-ended war stick also swiped at Horatio.

Zhi!

It did, and the blade struck Horatio inexorably.

Cold sweat broke out from Horatio’s back, just when he thought he was going to pay the price for this.

At this moment, Horatio has been hanging on his body, the rosary beads given to him by the Sisters of the Holy Rosary after the Battle of the Church of the Virgin shining brightly.

A light yellow energy wave surged in the air, causing the blade scratched on his armor to “slide” away like lubricant.

The shaper chief’s beast eyes turned scarlet and his irises turned black. He watched this magical scene with great interest. Instead of being discouraged, he chuckled.

[The rosary of Saint Arabella…a sacred object with a three-fold margin of error. ] Horatio reacted and let out a sigh of relief.

“I will kill you, eat your flesh and blood, and become stronger!”

As Chief Kroot said, the muscles in his body swelled strangely, and Horatio was drawn back to his attention by the strange sight in front of him.

“Bang…” Brother Korchagin made a faint voice of displeasure through his helmet, and Horatio noticed this.

“Brother Korchagin, as an experienced Death Watch warrior, do you know anything about this situation?” Horatio raised his chainsword again and assumed a defensive posture.

“…”

Brother Korchagin did not speak immediately, and the two imperial soldiers in the enemy group fought back to back.

“I think you know these Kroot better than I do.”

“I know more than you think.” Brother Korchagin thought for a while and reluctantly said in a low voice: “This is the secret of our battle group. This Kroot seems to have integrated the ‘Super Raven Guard’s genes, but I’m not sure.”

“‘Super Crow Guard’?” Horatio was a little surprised: “Please forgive my curiosity, sir, I remember the records in the ‘Unofficial History’, but there are no Super Crow Guards left.”

“…” Brother Korchagin snorted: “I don’t know, this is one of the things I am investigating.”

“It seems that you have some personal reasons for taking my battleship.” Horatio smiled knowingly.

[I just said, who kind of space warrior would be so kind as to come directly as a bodyguard without any conditions. ]

“Let’s find a way to kill this guy first, Captain. But it’s best to leave a whole body, which will be helpful for Judge Thei’s anatomy.” Brother Korchagin said, holding a combat knife in his backhand.

[Is Tei also related to Brother Korchagin’s mission, the ‘Super Raven Guard’ plan? Humph, it seems that the Alien Court sent her here for a more than simple purpose. What do they want to do? ]

“Captain!” Valina wielded the demolition ax and created a gap in the alien guards: “Leave these guards to me! Louise and Military Supervisor Hood have also arrived. You and Kecha The golden monk can deal with the enemy boss with peace of mind.”

“Thank you, Chief Valina. Brother Korchagin, please bear with me in the upcoming battle.”

“You know, Captain. You may not need my ‘forgiveness’.” As an instructor who daily sparres with Horatio, Brother Korchagin obviously knows his true level well and immediately responded to his polite words. road.

The two immediately got into a stance, and Chief Kroot, whose body swelled to twice its original size, roared, and the sound waves stung Horatio’s eardrums.

It wields its war club and launches a fierce attack with extremely fierce speed and power. Facing this cold light offensive, ordinary people would have been cut into pieces like melons and vegetables. Ordinary Astartes would be able to parry it quite well. For the hard work.

But Brother Korchagin still used his skillful fighting skills and in-depth understanding of the opposite sex to block them one by one.

However, the combat knife, which is one inch longer and one inch stronger, and is extremely short compared to the war stick, also makes it difficult for the monks to fight back at close range.

Horatio seized the opportunity when the chief was restrained by Brother Korchagin and swung his long holy blood chain sword at it.

Its black beast eyes keenly saw the opponent coming from the side. The Holy Blood Chainsword came at an extremely fast speed. Chief Kroot gave up the strategy of finding opportunities to counterattack while being restrained, and took back his war club, regardless of Is there any Kroot tribe of his own around? Sweep it like a halberd.

Horatio and Brother Korchagin stepped back urgently, and the two Kroot soldiers who were fighting hand-to-hand with the imperial sailors also had their waists cut off immediately by this sweep.

“In order to survive, you really have to resort to any means.” Brother Korchagin said through gritted teeth.

“We can’t rely on it. The opponent’s weapon is too long. With similar combat capabilities, the initiative lies in its hands. We have to think of some countermeasures.”

Horatio narrowed his eyes and said while using the nerve bolt connected to the power armor to drive the servo skull developed for him by Lati to take advantage of the chaos to approach the Shaper Chief.
