Chapter 263 Residue
The demons knew this, and they looked so devastated when they realized the doom they were about to encounter.
Soshiyang raised his halberd with both hands. He roared and knocked down the demon in front of him, then chopped the opponent from the skull to the pelvis. The demon body that was cut in half fell to both sides.
Then he stepped forward to be reunited with the priest, and the demon here no longer existed.
The two warriors did not need words, they just nodded to each other.
"Then, let's get this done!"
Rogris's flamethrower was still hissing.
"Of course."
Soshyan responded, and then he moved forward, hoping to end the fight.
The demons had split into two, and the larger part pounced on him.
This vicious fight is just a delay, they are doing everything they can to stop the Astral Knights from advancing while the smaller ones try to take down Farzad's squad.
The horrific music of Slaanesh plays as the demons fight, and the sounds around Farzad are even louder, clearly knowing who is easier to defeat.
As Farzad trudged forward, a demonic curse grew in his mind.
This endless anger is not meaningless.
On the contrary, if Soshiyan attracts them because of the threat, then Farzad is tempting the demons through his own existence. This is the only explanation.
His pride is a flaw that the demons seek to exploit.
"Get out of the way!"
The technical sergeant shouted at Farzad, and then raised the flamethrower.
The next second, a dazzling tongue of fire emitted from everyone's heads, and those abominations immediately turned into rolling flames.
The demons did not stop attacking, but their attacks became more crazy and blind.
"Let me pass."
Soshyan ordered, and then his warriors separated to the left and right, still firing at the enemy.
The chain saw that had been roaring for a long time was still spinning. Soshiyang plunged into the flames, relying on the Terminator's powerful protective ability to resist the influence of the flames.
The Warp throbbed around him, like a beast lunging for its heart.
The demons screamed and tried to stop him, but Soshyan had already burst out of their siege, under the cover of a blazing fire.
Burning remains hung from his armor, and he left the daemonic remnants behind, leaving his brothers to finish them off.
Farzad was besieged for a long time, and his breathing was heavy and rapid.
Soshyan attacked the demons from the right side and punched one demon aside, causing its pincers to shatter.
Then he swung his halberd at another demon, breaking its spine and burning its flesh, leaving only a pool of ichor on the deck.
"Chapter Leader! Don't worry about me!"
Farzad chopped down another demon to the right with lightning speed, and his helmet roared like an explosion, a cry of victory and exhaustion.
He is a warrior who breaks out with new energy and rekindles enthusiasm when he is about to collapse.
"I am the Emperor's loyal guard!"
While cutting a demon's jaw in two, Soshyan shouted a new battle cry that he had conceived for a long time. In order to intensify his warriors.
“I am the sharp stone blade of the Holy Empire!”
Farzad shouted back, his voice hoarse but growing stronger.
“I am the walker named Death!”
“I am the immortal heart of the departed sun!”
“Fire and glory!”
“We are all one!”
When they finished their battle cry, the demons were wiped out. The hall floor was splattered with thick mud, the demon's stumps merging with each other as they lost form.
But the dissipated monsters gave off a foul smell.
Soshiyang's eyes scanned the walls of the corridor, and the subspace was still surging, drawing out threads.
The ship is as filthy as ever - the Flying Tallarn is unlikely to be redeemed, but the energy behind the corruption has diminished.
The ship is no longer the trap it once was, it now looks more like a rotting corpse.
"Are there other attacks possible?"
The priest stepped forward and asked, his voice sounding tired.
“There should be none.”
Soshiyan replied, the flow of subspace was no longer restless, and the mist seemed to become thinner.
This also confirmed his earlier suspicion.
"The source of the corruption is no longer on the ship. These demons are just traces of it, and the real power has disappeared."
"Then we must find it and destroy it."
Farzad had been leaning on his battle ax. After finishing speaking, he straightened up and strode forward.
They found the captain's cabin a hundred feet away from the bridge.
The door was open, and the house was in ruins, with the remains of tables, chairs, shelves, and cupboards scattered on the floor, and some tattered tapestries hanging on the walls, like patches of skin.
In the center of the room, an altar was overturned and shattered. Large stones were scattered in front of the broken altar like solidified blood.
When they searched carefully, they found an indescribable thing huddled in the ruins.
The rags that were originally the uniform were stuck to its limbs, indicating that the demons emerged from this body.
This demon is twice as tall as a normal person. Many of its limbs are covered with gray dirt like the gray dirt on a forgotten tombstone. The ends of its limbs end in half-formed pincers and claws. , one of them simply turned into a half-meter-long bone spur.
Its head is a sunken, misshapen skull covered with terrifying fleshy horns. It looks like an object made at random from soft mud.
When the Astral Knights broke in, it was kneeling there, but when it saw the enemy, it wanted to stand up.
But it failed and instead tried to kneel on the ground and move forward.
Its joints crackled, its jaw clicked with frustrated hatred, and hissing wind leaked from its throat, as if there was only one breath left.
Soshyan killed it with a explosive bomb.
The bomb exploded in its chest, and the thing stared open-mouthed at the gaping hole in its chest, through which the far wall could be seen.
The demon then screamed, two long notes forming the beginning of an evil song.
But before the third one, it became quiet.
The demon's physical body collapsed into a crumpled husk, and soon only dry fragments remained like an insect corpse.
“A miserable enemy.”
The priest looked at the wreckage on the ground. He sounded disappointed, as if this was not an enemy.
“It is weakened, no, it should be a residue that has been squeezed dry.”
Soshyan senses the surge of subspace here, it is like the ebbing sea water.
“…But it was supposed to be powerful.”
“This thing must have put too much energy into its dirty art.”
< br>
Farzad sniffed and scanned the wreckage of the demon that had corrupted the entire ship.
But Soshyan just shook his head at this statement.
