Facing the attack of the Astral Knights, the heretics would not sit still and wait for death. The Red Pirates and the Brotherhood of Steel, together with the Scarlet Letters, fought back wildly, and the two sides fought together in the storm.
But compared to other imperial armed forces, the strength of the Astral Knights is more completely preserved. Most of the vehicles and supporting firepower still exist, while the Black Legion's troops are basically pure infantry units.
Rand, Sikaran, the Predator's primary weapon was aimed at any heretic Astartes, shattering their armor and helmets and causing them to fall to the ground.
"Talos, what are the characteristics of the wizards of the Black Legion?"
Soshiyang slashed Fentian downwards, splitting open a heretic from his collar to his waist. Gray dust spurted out thickly, sprinkling onto Soshiyang's armor.
There is nothing corrupted or mutated in it, nothing but dust.
This warrior was an empty shell. Even so, Soshyan felt something similar to sadness flow out of him when the other person knelt on the ground.
He put an end to the sorrow and dust, and cut off the head of the heretic in an instant.
But he didn't stop and kept going, right through the flames the nun was breathing.
"The characteristic is that it is ugly."
Talos slashed the teeth of his chainsaw into one heretic's mask, while Velez drove her sword deep into the other's chest, the blessed steel blade doing what the blasters and laser beams couldn't. harm.
The Astral Knights gained the advantage step by step, pushing the heretics away, attacking their defenses, and getting closer and closer to the direction Talos pointed.
Then Velez shouted.
Soshyan turned around and saw a red pirate heretic Astartes step forward and grab a certain nun by the throat, grabbing her, but the nun picked up a giant bomb from her belt and activated it, then directly Thrown into the heretic's eyepiece.
It exploded immediately, bright and terrible flames rushed out, the traitor's armor cracked, and then both it and the nun were engulfed in flames and burned.
Soshyan was shocked by the courage of these nuns.
"revenge!"
Velez shouted again.
She turned around, picked up the weapon of the fallen nun, and fired at the nearest heretic until the magazine was empty, her pale face full of anger.
But Velez was so focused on revenge that she didn't move away when the heretic opened fire on her.
The moment the bullet almost touched her, an arm wrapped around her.
More than a dozen explosive bombs exploded on Soshyan's shoulders and sides, leaving scars on the surface of his armor and smoke all over his body.
Velez froze for just a heartbeat.
"Keep moving forward."
Soshyan left Velez, the nun swaying, beads of sweat on her face.
The storm had changed shape now, it was now covered in thick clouds and became a roaring thundercloud, flashing with thunder and lightning.
And those wizards, Soshyan saw, were high in ruins like an altar.
Soshyan looked at the storm, at the clouds that were intertwined like pythons, and at the faint light deep inside it.
Then his eyes fell on Fen Tian in his hand and looked at the inscription engraved on the handle.
"We rush over."
Lightning began to bloom around him, shattering marble and stone, and the clouds roared and transformed into angry faces as they screamed.
Then the storm rolled up the clouds, and the shapes within them, and then the clouds opened like an eye, revealing claws.
But it flinched again as Soshyan rushed in.
Soshiyang led Fentian into the realm of the wizards. The sounds of battle left, replaced by the songs of the storm, as well as chants and whispers.
It echoed through every fragment, one word repeated over and over again.
Just a name.
Soshyan!
In front of Soshyan's eyes, the ruins turned into a crystal mountain peak. The moment he stepped onto the crystal steps, everything changed.
Shapes appear on mirror-like glass. The rickety fangs and claws.
According to Soshyan's understanding, these things are called fear monsters.
They crawled out of the glass and started screaming, chirping and jeering, conjuring streams of evil fire that rained down on the stairs and Soshyan.
His armor began to chirp under the heat, but Soshyan kept running upwards, even as the stairs themselves began to lose form, turning into a river of silver and fire.
By his side, only Talos remained.
They moved upward through molten metal and glass, laughter surrounding the two and claws clawing at them.
Soshyan counterattacked with Burning Sky, and Talos slashed with his chainsaw halberd, still swift even if he was stuck in liquid metal.
They rushed to the top of the crystal staircase, shouts filling their ears and minds.
Soshyan! Soshyan! Soshyan!
Soshyan jumped to the top and saw a wizard with four eyes standing on a high platform, surrounded by a pair of glass claws that opened upward, the Heretic Astartes now glowing like the flames of a lantern, Like dawn. Around him were several wizards and a dozen scarlet letters.
When he saw the two people arriving, Igosemo sneered.
"Soshyan, let me see how capable you are."
The Scarlet Letters immediately surrounded them. Talos stepped forward and used the chain saw to break the seal around the neck of a Scarlet Letter.
The red letter staggered, and dust erupted in a thick arc from the cracks in his armor. The light behind the eyepiece flashed for a moment, and then disappeared.
"Who are you? How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!"
Igothemor reached out and fired a lightning ball at Talos, but lost his balance when a burst of bullets hit his chest.
"Your dad!"
Talos spat on the ground. They continued to fire, but the prayer-engraved bullets didn't do much damage to the wizard, but they did miss Talos.
Igthemer turned around and smashed his staff onto the ground. Talos was struck by a blast of warp evil fire, detonating every bullet in the pistol's magazine.
The gun exploded. Fortunately, Talos was alert and had already dropped the weapon.
And Soshyan had already started running, slashing and slashing all the way, knocking down the scarlet letters like melons and vegetables, and countless all kinds of witchcraft that came towards him.
Those chaos wizards were all tired and panting like dogs, but they were completely unable to do anything to Soshiyang.
Igosemo snorted and turned back to him.
"You have some skills, but you are untouchable?"
"You'll know in a minute!"
Just when Igosemo was about to release the witchcraft, Soshyan introduced the gray marrow into Fentian.
Spiral flames began to rise around him—
"Ah! What kind of power is this-"
Igosemo immediately let out a roar of pain, and an instinctive force rushed out of the wizard's body, throwing the approaching Talos backwards, but it could not stop Soshyan.
The chief wizard of the Black Legion turned his staff reluctantly, and lightning appeared in the crystal on the top of the tower. An unprecedented force gathered and hit Soshyan's chest.
Soshyan was stopped this time, and then Igosemo struck him with lightning again, filling his lungs with the smell of burning.
"No matter if you are untouchable or not, the power of the Lord of Change can still tear you apart!"
Ygesemer hissed:
"I will tear your soul into thousands of tiny pieces and scatter them into the etheric tides."
When the other party raised his staff, Soshyan shook his head and smiled.
"This is not the end for me."
He told the wizard, and the firelight mixed with black stars illuminated the stairs behind him.
"is yours."
