Medusa is a strange creature in the Webway, considered by the Dark Eldar to be a highly empathic parasite that floats like jellyfish in the ether, feeding on the dreams and nightmares of sentient beings. They can also possess a living host, allowing them to feed directly on the host's emotions, and through this process provide them with the energy to appear in the physical space, thus becoming a hybrid life form of the material world and the non-material world.
But Medusa alone has no offensive capabilities. In other words, the real terror of Medusa is not in itself. After all, its main body is just a ball of flesh, not much bigger than a human head.
This kind of physical body is not uncommon in the galaxy, and if you discount the high concentration of neural pathways and receptors it carries, this unusual neurological object is theoretically similar to the brain of a sentient species, except that it is weird The hovering motion may be its most unsettling feature, and while several scholars have studied the creature, no one has been able to confirm how it effortlessly levitates without any visible means of propulsion. of.
Although Medusa has no limbs, it does have an astonishing number of whip-like thin tentacles, as many as dozens. This unique neural structure allows these filthy aliens to sneak into the mind of its host and control the host's body. , allowing the host to remember and feel everything at the same time.
Those few victims who survived their encounters with Medusa described how they felt as if they were able to understand all the emotions around them with unusual clarity, with some mentioning that they felt as though they were storing these feelings and storing them away. Strengthen, absorb it like a filthy sponge.
To make matters worse, those who attempt to rescue their fellow victims from the creatures are often knocked unconscious by a powerful wave of pain that seems to emanate from the eyes of the person they are trying to rescue.
This power is why Medusa is valued by the Dark Eldar. When threatened, they can project these energies into the attacker's mind in an offensive way, but in most cases it is not fatal and focused. The range is also very narrow.
After the Dark Eldar discovered this creature, they developed a device that amplified this attack into a truly deadly weapon that could counter psykers and liquefy their brains.
This device is a device worn on the heads of those hosts, so Medusa is also the main means for the Archons of Commorragh to fight against psychic powers.
The exact method by which the Dark Eldar tamed Medusa was unknown, and some biosages theorized that Medusa's affinity for emotional energy was somehow related to the Dark Eldar's thirst for pain.
Khayon then turned his head to Sartonix and smiled:
"You don't really think they can deal with me?"
As he spoke, he pointed his left hand at the Hellwalkers gathered on a nearby street, and his fingertips flashed with energy and shot out a spear-like red lightning, blasting the crowd into a shower of blood and shattering the rocks beneath their feet.
"kill him!!"
As Sartonix howled in anger, the single eyes on the heads of the three Medusas lit up at the same time.
Kayon still stood there, feeling the turbulence of energy rushing towards him.
"That's it, it's not enough."
As painful energy surrounded him, Khayon whispered, pulled out a card, and threw it at the three Medusas at extremely fast speeds.
The cards flew so fast that no one could see them clearly.
The next second, the card turned into a ball of flame as soon as it hit the ground. Purple lightning and curling subspace energy penetrated from the storm, chopping around the three Medusas and lifting them into the air.
Those parasitic monsters began to scream and cry in fanatical joy and tremendous pain, feeling the demon pulling their souls and tearing apart their spirits in the breach in the subspace.
Only a few knew that something was desperately trying to jump into the physical world.
"Hammer of Evil!!"
Over the years, Kayon's old skills have not improved, but he is very discerning, and few demons can catch his eye.
But this demon is his most satisfying collection in the past twenty years.
"Blood sacrifice to the blood god!"
Along with the bloodthirsty roar echoing in the storm with power, this sound can be heard by every Eldar dozens of kilometers nearby.
For a while, it seemed as if the entire battlefield was still, and every Eldar turned to look at the wizard's floating figure.
Khayon's armor flashed in the lightning, looking unfazed.
"Skull offering skull seat!!!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out. Sartonix lowered his head and saw a Medusa being pierced by a sharp blade. It tilted its head back and let out an incoherent dying sound from its throat as the red demon twisted the blade. shouting.
It was a giant vampire, five meters tall. The muscles on its body were several times larger than those of a common vampire. One hand was holding a hell sword that is common among vampires, and the other hand was tightly holding a sword. A huge black iron meteor hammer. The red skin is covered with a layer of black smoking brass armor. There is also a thorny brass collar around the neck. On the triangular head, a pair of half-meter-long horns extend. toward the sky.
Just seeing this demon, Sartonix felt the blood in his body begin to boil, and furious emotions poured into his mind uncontrollably.
"kill!!!"
The demon suddenly slammed the meteor hammer into the ground beneath his feet. The hammer head hit the rock and exploded with huge energy. A crack opened in the entire street, and all surrounding life was plunged into an evil flame storm.
"Walk!"
Sartonix was also a ruthless person. He left without saying a word and without any hesitation. The hellwalkers were also frightened by the sudden appearance of the demon and immediately dispersed.
Then Kayon pointed at the demon again and released a white lightning, binding the opponent in place.
"I will definitely kill you!"
After saying these words, the demon was directly slapped on the forehead by Kayon, and then turned back into a card. This series of actions was very fast, and almost no one saw the card clearly before it was recovered by Kayon.
"Ka...Asal, you are making too much noise."
When Soshyan and Talos came from behind, Khayon turned to look at them.
"Why did you leave the ship?"
"Because of some accident?"
"Oh? Accident? It's——"
Before they finished speaking, a shadow covered the three of them. They looked up and saw a luxurious Eldar airship, with Alcantara looking at them with a smile.
"Can you three come up and talk to us? The ground may need to be cleaned for a while."
As he spoke, three black flying disks slowly lowered. Kayon nodded and stepped on them.
"Let's talk about it when we get up."
Then Soshyan and Talos each stepped on a flying disc. The thing looked fragile but could hold up a heavy Space Marine without shaking at all, and directly brought the three of them to an altitude of dozens of meters.
As soon as the three of them landed on the airship, Alcantara clapped his hands gently and smiled happily:
"The arrogance of these guys who killed that bastard Satonix today is so gratifying to me!"
Naturally, the one who responded was also Kayon, who was the representative of the three.
"We just acted in self-defense as a last resort, and it was really helpless."
"Haha, since Mr. Assal has made a wise decision, I guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again."
Soshyan couldn't understand what they were saying, but Talos vaguely understood, so he asked Khayon in Gothic.
"what's the situation?"
