"That's a serious charge, Mephisto."
"I'm not accusing anyone."
Dante sighed softly and said:
"I know what you mean. You think the Wailer made a deal with something on Signus One in the Ghoul Sector."
"The pharmacist Melos did not die, he became a demon."
Mephisto calmly said something that surprised Dante, because there was no record of this incident in the Legion.
"What?"
"The body of Apothecary Melos was possessed by a demon and disappeared after the great rebellion."
"How do you know this?"
Mephisto looked down at the secret volume and whispered:
"I was told."
"I see."
Dante nodded, stood up, and said slightly tiredly:
"I agree to your trip, but I have two conditions."
"What is it?"
"First, if it is as you expected, you must not act rashly. You must return to Baal as soon as possible. We will make a decision after discussing it. Second, although I can give you a battleship, you cannot go alone. Choose It doesn’t matter who goes with you, as long as you leave a place for your think tank brother Jorgeselius, the rest will be your choice.”
Just as Mephisto opened his mouth to say something, Dante raised his hand and interrupted him.
"No matter how thorough and cautious your plan for this trip is, you may encounter unexpected situations there. Even you will need a helper from time to time. If Heselius has proven to us countless times, he is Your friend, a good friend who will never abandon you.”
Mephisto was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"Then I wish you all the best, Mephisto."
Dante said as he strode out of the buzzing hall.
Mephisto turned his gaze to the Book of Prophecy and sighed softly.
"hope so......."
——————
At this moment, Talos realized that something was wrong and was about to lead his team to retreat when a terrifying roar sounded.
Something broke through the flesh and blood door formed.
The opponent's attack was so fast that Talos didn't know how to react.
At that moment, the surrounding contaminated local creatures suddenly erupted into a vague fatal movement. They curled up and rushed across the last distance between them and the Astartes.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
The team fell back quickly, cursing the enemy while firing back with bolters.
The Space Marines fired fiercely at the charging monster, slowing the opponent's progress greatly due to the fierce firepower, and the blood and other liquids spurting from the wounds turned into hissing steam.
But none of this affected what was charging towards Talos, a massive beast.
It is composed of metal joints, twisted and bulging muscles, and grotesque and blasphemous armor. The head is encased in a faceless metal shell, and the breastplate is decorated with the symbols of Chaos and a gleaming metal skull.
Its left hand was replaced by a huge, powerful claw with three fingers. Its curved edges seemed to be plated with metal and ground as sharp as a mirror.
The thing roared and rushed towards Talos at an alarming speed, slamming its claws into the opponent's head.
Talos knew better than to try to fend off something so large; the powerful claws could easily knock his weapon aside - or worse, tear him in half.
So the next second, he bent down and let the opponent's claws fly over his head without causing any damage, and then he smashed the sword into the elbow of the thing.
The sword's energy field hit the joint, but the demon barely noticed, spinning the limb on his left heel and slamming his right elbow back into Talos' forehead.
"Well--"
The impact sent Talos tumbling to the ground, onto his back, the readout on his helmet crackling with static as it washed over him.
In the helmet's damaged optics, the demon turned into a blurry shape, flickering like a giant ghost and approaching quickly, its claws reaching for Talos's right leg.
Suddenly, Talos was awakened by a flash of light and another roar.
Bahram rushed forward, first attacking the opponent's back with a grenade, and then stabbed the sword directly into the demon's chest when the opponent turned around.
The demon swayed backwards, not sure whether it was because of Bahram's attack or the remaining gray marrow power in the opponent's body.
Talos took this opportunity to stand up, grabbed the helmet with his hands, and pulled the damaged helmet off his head.
At this moment, his eyes seemed to see diamonds shining in the dark night, and a fierce melee unfolded around him, as warriors fought against demons.
Li Lin was fighting fiercely with three monsters, but his breastplate had been torn like paper and he was covered in blood.
Sabourin grabbed a monster by the throat and used his arms to lift the beast off the ground, crushing the spine.
Talos quickly turned his attention back to Bahram, who was a few meters away.
The warrior crouched on the ground, icy mist shimmering around his armor, but his body was eerily still.
Talos knew that the other party would not be able to use gray marrow again in a short time.
Suddenly, he heard the sound on the communicator, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Talos!!"
Accompanied by the teleportation of lightning and thunder, Soshiyang's voice rang out in the passage they came from, and then the warrior wearing a Terminator broke into the battlefield.
The powerful gloomy domain instantly covered the entire hall. All subspace creatures or contaminated local creatures huddled up. After seeing Soshiyang, the huge demon ran away and wanted to run back to the gate. among.
But its hands and feet were much slower than before, as if it was stuck in the mud, and it was quickly caught up by Soshyan from behind.
"blasphemous thing!"
Soshyan cut off the opponent's thigh from behind, causing the demon to fall to the ground. Then he stepped on the opponent's head, penetrated the opponent's neck with a long sword, and nailed him to the ground.
"Taros, what's going on?"
Glancing at the demon suppressed by Soshyan, Talos pointed at the collapsing and burning door.
"There was originally a seal here, but it was broken not long ago. Something probably escaped."
"it is this?"
Soshyan pointed at the demon who was still trembling at his feet.
Talos shook his head.
"A pawn, not the real master. This seal was left by the Blood Angels. I guess it was ten thousand years ago. Maybe it was made by Sanguinius. It would make the original body spend a lot of time to seal it. I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
"Why is there a seal here? I thought the planet only had the rift in Attica."
"The matter of eliminating the Death Star is more complicated than we expected."
Soshyan lowered his head and glanced at the demon, then suddenly used force to crush its head.
The dead demon quickly turned into a puddle of pus.
"Blow this place up with melta bombs. Keep this secret for now."
