The demons knew this and were so devastated when they realized their impending doom.
Soshiyang raised his halberd with both hands. He roared and knocked down the demon in front of him, and then chopped the opponent from the skull to the pelvis. The demon's body that was cut in half fell to both sides.
He then stepped forward to be reunited with the priest, and the demon here was no more.
The two warriors didn't need words, just nodded to each other.
"So, let's get this done!"
Rogrith's flamethrower was still hissing.
"certainly."
Soshyan responded, and then he moved forward, hoping to end the fight.
The demons had split into two, and the larger part pounced on him.
The fight was just a delay, they were doing everything they could to stop the Astral Knights from advancing while the smaller group tried to overpower Farzad's squad.
Slaanesh's horrific music played as the demons fought, and the sounds around Farzad grew even louder, clearly knowing who was easier to defeat.
As Farzad trudged forward, a demonic curse grew in his mind.
This endless anger is not meaningless.
On the contrary, if Soshiyan attracts them because of the threat, then Farzad is seducing the demons through his own existence, which is the only explanation.
His pride is a flaw that the demons seek to exploit.
"Stay away!"
Techmarine yelled at Farzad, then raised the flamer.
The next second, a dazzling tongue of fire emitted from everyone's heads, and those abominations immediately turned into rolling flames.
The demons did not stop attacking, but their attacks became more crazy and blind.
"Ler me get through."
Soshyan ordered, before his warriors separated to the left and right, still firing at the enemy.
The chain saw that had been roaring for a long time was still spinning. Soshiyang plunged into the flames, relying on the Terminator's powerful protective ability to resist the influence of the flames.
The Warp throbbed around him, like a beast lunging for its heart.
The demons screamed and tried to stop him, but Soshyan had burst from their surroundings, under the cover of a blazing fire.
Burning remains hung from his armor, and he left the daemonic remnants behind, leaving his brothers to finish them off.
Farzad was besieged for a long time, and his breathing was heavy and rapid.
Soshyan attacked the demons from the right side and punched one demon aside, causing its pincers to shatter.
Then he swung his halberd at another demon, breaking its spine and burning its flesh, leaving only a pool of ichor on the deck.
"Chapter Leader! Don't worry about me!"
Farzad chopped down another demon to the right with lightning speed, and his helmet roared like an explosion, a cry of victory and exhaustion.
He is a warrior who bursts with new energy and renewed enthusiasm just when he is about to collapse.
"I am the Emperor's loyal guard!"
Slashing a demon's jaw in two, Soshyan shouted a new battle cry he had long conceived to inspire his warriors.
"I am the sharp stone blade of the Holy Empire!"
Farzad shouted back, his voice hoarse but growing stronger.
"I am the walker named Death!"
"I am the immortal heart of the departed sun!"
"Fire and glory!"
"We are all one!"
When they finished their battle cry, the demons were wiped out.
The hall floor was splattered with thick mud, the demon's stumps merging with each other as they lost form.
But the dissipated monsters gave off a foul stench.
Soshyan's eyes scanned the walls of the corridor, and the subspace was still surging, drawing out threads.
The ship is as filthy as ever - the Flying Tallarn is unlikely to be redeemed, but the energy behind the corruption has diminished.
The ship is no longer the trap it once was, it now looks more like a rotting corpse.
"Are there other attacks possible?"
The priest stepped forward and asked, his voice sounding tired.
"There should be no more."
Soshyan replied, the flow of the warp was no longer restless, and the mist seemed to become thinner.
This also confirmed his earlier suspicion.
"The source of the corruption is no longer on the ship. These demons are just traces left by it. The real power has disappeared."
"Then we must find it and destroy it."
Farzad had been leaning on his battle ax. After finishing speaking, he straightened up and strode forward.
They found the captain's cabin a hundred feet away from the bridge.
The door was open, and the house was in ruins, with the remains of tables, chairs, shelves, and cupboards scattered on the floor, and some tattered tapestries hanging on the walls, like patches of skin.
In the center of the room, an altar was overturned and shattered. Large stones were scattered in front of the broken altar like solidified blood.
When they searched carefully, they found an indescribable thing huddled in the ruins.
Rags from the uniform clinging to its limbs indicated that the demons had sprung from this body.
This demon is twice as tall as a normal human being, and many of its limbs are covered with gray dirt like the forgotten tombstones. The ends of the limbs end in half-formed pincers and claws, and one of them simply becomes A half-meter-long bone spur appeared.
Its head is a sunken, misshapen skull covered with terrifying fleshy horns. It looks like an object made at random from soft clay.
It was kneeling when the Astral Knights broke in, but when it saw its enemy it tried to stand up.
But it failed and instead tried to move forward on its knees.
Its joints crackled, its jaws clicked with frustrated hatred, and hissing wind leaked from its throat, as if there was only one breath left.
Soshyan ended it with a blaster.
The bomb exploded in its chest, and the thing stared open-mouthed at the gaping hole in its chest, through which the far wall could be seen.
The demon then screams, two long notes that form the beginning of an evil song.
But before the third one, it went quiet.
The demon's physical body collapsed into a crumpled husk, and was soon reduced to nothing but dry fragments like an insect corpse.
"A miserable enemy."
The priest looked at the wreckage on the ground. He sounded disappointed, as if this was not an enemy.
"It is weakened, no, it should be a drained residue."
Soshyan felt the subspace surge here, it was like the ebbing sea water.
"...but it was supposed to be powerful."
"This thing must have put too much energy into its dirty art."
Farzad sniffed and scanned the wreckage of the demon that had corrupted the entire ship.
But Soshyan only shook his head at this statement.
