Warhammer: In the Name of Ashes

Chapter 406 Echoes of Courage and Loyalty ([-]) Confrontation, Blessing of the Dark Apostle

"I can finish it right here..."

70 kilometers away from the earth's surface, Calvin stood in front of the majestic building at the entrance of the webway, a majestic building with a history longer than human beings. He watched the demon in front of him and the fallen man behind him speak to Tibers through the communication channel.

After the demon in front of him saw the whole picture of Calvin's soul, he also used psychic communication to inform Appius behind him of its current situation:
"Although I really don't want to say that, I can probably only hold you back for a few breaths..."

"How many breaths? How is it possible?" Appius looked at the demon's back and asked in disbelief.

You must know that although the demon in front of you is not well-known, it is also rare in the temple of the Lord of Changes. He is famous for his ability to fight.

In order to obtain its real name, Appius and the dark apostle who tempted him to degenerate paid a huge price.

And what is this demon doing to him now?How many breaths?Are you kidding me? Could it be that in front of it is an existence like the father of its genes?

maybe...

Looking at Calvin's oversized figure and eyes that were brewing with thunder, Appius also fell silent.

This level of body shape can no longer be explained by genetic mutations or extraordinary talents...

Appius has also served for more than 300 years. He has been lucky enough to have seen Moloch of the Tauren Chapter, or someone from the Man-eating Shark Legion active in the Ghoul Starfield.

It's not like he hasn't seen what kind of effect they can achieve with their vigorous bodies and the modified Terminator power armor.

But the existence in front of him is obviously not in this category. His terrifying aura does not come from the strength of his body. To put it bluntly, the aura that makes him tremble just by looking at it is being suppressed by this physical body. limit……

Is it really a Primarch?

Then why...it's only now...

Reason gained the upper hand in Appius' heart for a moment, and then he was filled with the distortion of chaos and the hatred in his heart.

He laughed at himself in a low voice, then clenched the scepter in his hand, and while launching the spell that he had prepared countless times, he also said to the demon in front of him:

"I see……"

The battle ahead had already broken out, and the demon watched Calvin step by step and chose to attack first, aiming the gorgeous double-headed snake spear in his direction.

boom!
The beam of light formed by the azure spell spanned a hundred meters in an instant, and hit head-on on the spiritual shield that automatically appeared in front of Calvin.The violent shock wave blew air waves around Calvin, causing the ancient stone ground under his feet to fade away from the dust, revealing the carving traces of alien civilizations.

And the explosion-like roar immediately sounded on these stone slabs, and the huge force was pressed vertically from the steel boots to the slate slabs, causing these slate-shaped stone piles to crack in the mournful sound, and also reversed the same force on the original body itself .

hum!
Calvin, who had disappeared in place, suddenly appeared above the demon's head, and the sword edge of the empire's truth crossed the barrier of space, appearing on the demon's head with layers of air waves and explosions.

The devil's golden, reptile-like snake pupils suddenly shrank, reflecting the increasingly large adamantine sword blade, veins sprouting on the arms thicker than a human waist, and a double-headed snake spear as thick as a goose egg underneath. Head over the top in a second!
boom!
Ear-piercing roars exploded between the inhuman bodies, and the invisible air turned into tangible air waves, centering on the weapons of both sides and surging towards the surroundings.

The moment the thick ceramic steel gauntlet collided with the thread of the hilt, the steel pliers bit the latter without shaking at all. The gold-plated scales on the body of the strange-shaped snake spear were broken by the blade, splashing out while screaming. Dazzling sparks.

Due to the extreme collision of strength, the tiny blood vessels burst on the demon's arm, releasing patches of blood mist.

The hair on the primarch's forehead was also scrambling to escape, and was blown straight back.

And it wasn't until this moment that the ear-piercing sound of metal clashes resounded in the ears of everyone watching the battle.

And this is just the surface of the battle.

The Guards of the Guards and the Gray Knights stood far away on the edge of the battlefield. From their perspective, more confrontations were still taking place in this millisecond-level time, taking place at the physical and spiritual levels at the same time.

The two gold-plated alien-shaped long swords slashed at Calvin more than a dozen times at one go at tricky and unimaginable angles between breaths;

And the evil words rang in the Primarch's ears with filthy power. While trying to loosen Calvin's will, the vicious spells and spell-like spells seemed to be priceless, and this high-level demon cast them instinctively. Next, it sprinkled densely on the body of the Primarch.

However, the devil didn't feel the joy of victory from these attacks, on the contrary, its heart was constantly falling with each attack.

Because it knows that those are useless offenses, and everything it does now is just to delay.

The psionic energy that could knead steel in the past was like a breeze blowing in front of that golden soul, not even blowing his hair;

After the vicious curses and blasphemous spells were projected on Calvin, they were like mud cows sinking into the sea, without any response or echo.

The tried-and-tested time spells in countless battles also failed. In just a short moment, it tried hundreds of times to predict the action of the Primarch, and it also jumped several times in the river of time.

But none of these attempts had any effect, all the attacks were blocked lightly by the heavy sword, and all the prophecy spells were cast at the cost of breaking the two magic eyes, only to get a mocking response from the Primarch's face.

one second...

two seconds...

three seconds...

The demon still brandished the weapon in his hand tirelessly, the slashing, stabbing and slashing strikes of the snake spear and the war blade did not pose any threat to the Primarch.

The simple but powerful block of Imperial Truth is like a wall of sighs, standing still in front of the tide of demons.

And just like all real battles, the suffocating offense and defense will only be maintained for a moment, and then under the balance called war, the strength and weakness, the victory and defeat, life and death will be distinguished immediately.

"Is this the end of the skill?" Calvin asked suddenly.

However, before the demon could respond, after a certain peak of confrontation, the demon who resisted wildly supported by the desire to survive finally reached the limit of the body given to it by the physical universe.

puff……

After the snake spear in his hand broke unexpectedly and the two swords failed to block, the great head carried by its burly body was finally chopped off by the powerful sword of the imperial truth, and then it was burnt to ashes in the violent burning.

This is Calvin's first full use of his martial arts after experiencing physical growth, and it is also a prudent attempt by him to deliberately suppress his psychic powers and try to explore the strength of his body.

The strength of Calvin's soul and the nature of power he possessed made all the subtle and complex spells cast by the demons seem like a joke.

And under the deliberate restraint of his spiritual energy, after a few seconds of slashing the huge sword weighing hundreds of kilograms with his full strength nearly twenty times per second, he finally touched the edge of his physical strength.

"Glamourous..." Calvin, who was relaxed, landed on the open space behind the demon, and said to Appius in front of him amidst the sound of the demon's headless body falling heavily to the ground.

This is his evaluation of the demons behind him and all the wizards who rely on manipulating spells.

Because in his eyes, all the so-called knowledge and power exchanged from the hands of the gods can only be as illusory and fragile as Shalou in the end.

This is also his evaluation of the fallen man in front of him. When he gave up on himself and placed his hope on the gods, today's failure was already doomed.

But Appius, who was the contractor of the devil, had lost the ability to refute at this time.

The two-headed snake-like life form created by his contract with the devil is destined to make both him and the devil prosper and lose.

The soul trauma caused by the demon's fall made him twitch and sit in front of the entrance of the webway, waiting for his own disintegration.

Calvin took a step forward, and the imperial truth in his hand was raised high.

However, the abnormality on Appius made him vigilant again - a mark that was familiar to him but unfamiliar to him lit up on Appius.

Calvin quickly searched for relevant information in his mind, and a second later, a document from the trial court made him recognize the meaning of the seal in front of him:
"The shepherd of chaos, the apostle who walks in the darkness and sows the seeds of disaster—the Word Bearer."

A large amount of magic power flowed back to Appius from the dead demon, and the latter's already sober eyes were enriched by this power, and they had the same madness as a flashback.

A grim air flow blows from the void, and the heavy canvas behind the former head priest of the son of Guilliman is blown up in situ, and piles of explosives that were originally hidden also reveal their hidden threat at this time.

"I... guilty!" Seeing Calvin walking in front of him, Appius moaned.

He raised his head vigorously and looked at the ruins left on the battlefield in the distance, all the betrayal and blasphemy for hundreds of years flashed again in his mind.

Calvin looked at Appius in front of him and didn't speak, but the storm in his eyes was already rapidly accumulating.

"But I have to go back!... I have to go back!" Feeling Calvin's psychic power, Appius turned his head to look at the entrance of the webway, and then looked at the demigod in front of him again, his tone turned from remorse to madness.

The gathering of his broken soul in the will, visible to the naked eye, was forcibly brought together by the blessing of the dark apostle, and the powerful and dirty spiritual energy overflowed from him. The wave shot out towards the webway behind him!
Um?Calvin, who noticed the abnormality, threw out the psionic energy accumulated in his hand in a thunderous manner without any scruples. However, the fallen Appius seemed to have been prepared, cutting off and throwing his own arm actively to lure Calvin away. Wen disappeared instantly after the fatal blow.

boom!
A violent explosion sounded from where Appius disappeared, and after the blazing fire flashed, the stone gate leading to the webway remained motionless under the protection of the energy shield.

But Calvin and the people behind him did not feel comforted, because at the moment of the explosion, they heard a crisp sound clearly in their ears through the huge roar.

There was a crisp sound like glass or crystal cracking.

The former priest of the son of Guilliman had disappeared in place, and what was left to Calvin and others was the ancient portal that was once again connected to reality after the seal was destroyed.

"We're in trouble..." Calvin said to Tibbers in orbit.
