"Um?"
Talos narrowed his eyes slightly, and through the burning flames, he saw another pair of eyes, which represented an ancient, wild mind. The yellow eyes had black irises.
Outside the gap in the world created by the flames, there was only darkness, as if part of midnight had come early.
But there were many eyes in the darkness, and he saw them looking in, with wide, angry eyes and evil eyes.
"Company Commander..."
Sabourin's throat trembled a little as he spoke. He had never seen anything like this before.
"what is that?"
"What are you afraid of? It's just a devil."
The demon passed through the burnt gap, boiling like liquid, flowing across the border and spreading across the gravel like tar, smoking in the darkness.
Everyone could only see the moisture gradually spreading on the ground, spreading like a shadow.
This was its main body, a huge, absurd, yet completely unified shape, a blackness cut from pure night, as solemn as spent plutonium.
Above the many eyes, many angles wider than the wings of an airplane loomed.
In the black pool seeping around its feet, limbs like spider legs began to spread, spasmodic pseudopods sprouted and receded, those pseudopods protruded briefly from the steaming tar, and then returned like the timing of night weeds. It dies slowly as it eats.
It is a shadow, struggling to maintain its existence.
As it appeared, many voices chirped, and Talos heard the voices of people he knew in the wind and realized they were all lies.
He heard Ciel's laughter, he heard Markusen borrowing the golden sword from him, and then heard the roar of Ursus, cursing everyone and praising the Blood God, and he also heard the Supreme murmur. murmuring the names of forgotten gods.
Talos raised his gun, set it to full-automatic mode, and fired.
The bullet struck it, causing ripples in the advancing darkness, but the darkness absorbed the bright spot of light, and milky fluid flowed from the wound.
The wound healed as fast as the wound was made, and the bloody blood faded away. Bullets couldn't hurt it. It knew this, and he knew it.
It didn't just want him dead, it wanted him broken. It wanted to burn his soul out in agony before devouring him.
It wanted to piss him off, to make him feel rage and pain and regret and all the other failings of a ten thousand year life.
Talos finally knew why it had captured the Chimera but had to take it to such a distant enemy, because it wanted to taste the pain, the despair and regret of mortals dying slowly in the dark cabin.
But now, Talos became a delicacy in its eyes, a sumptuous meal.
The pain, failure, and regret of so many ruthless centuries can be sorted out and excavated, far exceeding the total amount that can be included in a mortal life.
This is why Talos can find it directly...
He didn't find it, it found him.
At this moment, another high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.
"In the name of the Silver Tower and the Eye of Eternal Burning, you are forever bound to the cage of ether."
Suddenly, the demon seemed to have encountered something terrible. It began to squirm and retreat quickly.
But it was too late, the space it was in quickly collapsed, a palm-sized papyrus card fell from the sky, and nineteen circles of mysterious prayers were suspended around it.
Purple lightning jumped out of the clouds, etching circles of scars on the ground, dispelling the sticky shadows, filling the air with the stench of ozone and a sickly sweet smell, invisibly ripples on the skin , stirred by the unnatural energy radiating from the giant ritual circle.
Six dimensional claws huddled outside the circle, their bodies twisting wildly.
Behind the dimensional claw, Talos saw the real owner, a dimensional claw wearing bright red armor, with sharp blades all over his body.
It's called Surathion the Cruel, also known as the Blade Caresser. He was once a strike captain of the Emperor's Children, but after being possessed by a mysterious demon, he became an "intelligent" dimensional claw and also a One of only two Dimensional Claw Lords in the Black Legion.
In addition to the blades, Sulasien's armor was torn and stained human skin. The human skin was painted with mysterious marks and glowed with a strange fluorescence.
The only few areas of exposed skin outside its armor were like wax, with black and gray mottled patches, almost like a corpse.
When Sulasien appeared, Bahram and others felt a surge of power, which seemed to be rising from the depths of the earth, mixed with black steam.
Talos raised his glowing power sword.
"Kill it!"
His voice echoed like a trumpet through the din.
"Never let it escape!"
The Astartes immediately responded with action, weapons in their hands firing.
The dimensional claws surrounding the circle reacted immediately, running around and screaming angrily, but their proud ability to travel through subspace failed, and the entire space was blocked by a powerful force. Leaving them with nowhere to go, they were surrounded by explosions of bullets, flames, and horrific melta.
A large number of bullets penetrated the thick armor, exploded under the soft body, and blasted bloody craters in the bodies of the dimensional claws.
Two of them struggled and hissed in the blazing torrent, and the third simply exploded. Two hot melt shots hit its head and abdomen. The one that was closer was even hit by the steaming fire. Liquid splashed all over.
However, despite the horrific wounds, the surviving Warp Claws continued to fight.
Two of the men focused their attention on Talos and lunged at the prophet from left and right, their claws clashing with each other.
However, Talos has been in the Eye of Terror for many years. Although he has never directly fought against the Dimensional Claw, he has often sparred with the raptors of the Eye of Blood in the warband. He understands the fighting thinking of these monsters very well.
So when the first one jumped at him, Talos ducked low to the left, raising his sword, and the jump of the dimensional claw brought the sword just over his right shoulder.
The power sword pierced the side of the Dimensional Claw's head, just behind the mandible, and like a claw, opened a burning gash in the opponent's rear.
The second one found its attack blocked by Talos's lunge, forcing it to adjust its thrust and glide.
Talos shot out one of the opponent's arms with a blast from his pistol. A moment later, another shot from his shot hit the other side of the dimensional claw's skull, leaving a glowing crater on the bone. In the blink of an eye, its brain was boiling.
Sabourin then pounced on the severely wounded Warp Claw and began chopping off limbs and heads with his roaring chainsword.
On Sabourin's left, a flaming dimensional claw jumped into the middle of the attack team, waving its claws wildly and tearing at the warriors' armor.
But as Bahram and Li Lin pierced it left and right, and then raised it high, the twitching dimensional claw was broken into dozens of pieces by the angry warriors in mid-air.
