Chapter 480 Lost Soul
"Destruction Ghost? Please answer, please answer -"
Kelkus has sent more than a dozen communication requests to the fleet outside, but the communication channel There was no sound except that scream.
Afterwards, he shook his head at the Lord next to him, Luft Huron.
“It seems that the other party has prepared a special trap for us.”
Huron sighed softly, but with a smile on his face.
"Master, the situation has changed now, should we first——"
"Retreat?"
Huron grinned, as if mocking the stupidity of his subordinates .
“I can guarantee that as soon as our Thunderhawk leaves the hangar, Hell Eye’s weapon system will activate and wipe out all of us. At this distance, none of us can escape.”< br>
"But why didn't they do this halfway?"
"Because they were not sure whether I would land in person."
Huron stared down at his slightly moving claws.
"What a plan, Soshyan Alexei."
At this time, Huron calmed down instead, without anger or disappointment, and it was exactly this This kind of calmness in times of crisis helped him survive one disaster after another.
"Wizard."
He turned his attention to Garon Sulet.
“We think this kind of communication interference is very abnormal, what do you think?”
The Chaos Wizard’s horned helmet tapped lightly.
“Yes, Master, I feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy, and its principle is quite similar to the subspace storm. If it continues, I am afraid the situation will be very bad, and our fleet will become blind and deaf. .”
"So we have to fight quickly."
Huron didn't stop much and moved forward along the road Soshyan had walked.
The interior of the Star Fortress is now as dead as the exterior. The Red Pirates pass through the lifeless halls and see the nearly annihilated statues indifferently guarding its slaughtered slaves.
As the exploration deepens, the red pirates become more and more vigilant, because the destruction here is so complete.
On the other hand, Star Castle is not completely silent.
The bent metal squeaked under the heavy pressure; leaked fuel and coolant dripped, splashed, sprayed, or flowed, and the sound of footsteps echoed on a scale of kilometers or more, refracting, turning, and twisting in the passage of broken metal. , until finally it felt as if there were thousands of troops striding toward everyone from the shadows in front.
Then they passed through a huge temple-like hall, whose window lattice originally decorated with stained skulls was now just an open hole.
Those skulls were broken into millions of colorful fragments and covered the ground under the feet of the red pirates. A row of demon statues turned into a swaying defeated phalanx, scattered among the ruins. A huge The daemons of Khorne once stretched their wings to perch on the high walls, but now they are reduced to rubble at their feet.
There are corpses wearing scarlet armor everywhere here, mixed with a little dark green. Their power armor was broken and dyed black with blood.
After inspection by the pharmacist, it was discovered that the condition of these corpses was far from ideal. The gene seeds of each corpse were either destroyed or poached.
Huron used his combat boots to turn over another corpse wearing rotten armor. The corpse inside almost dissolved, revealing a large amount of disgusting pus as it moved. The armor bore the mark of the God of Corruption.
"People from Copras."
Although his words were heavy, his tone was disapproving.
“It seems that the level of this Plague Warrior is not as high as he said.”
Then he inspected the body of a red pirate warrior.
He died in the battle, bearing bolter and blade marks on his body, and acidic residue remaining on nearby decks and bulkheads, where the demon's physical form had been destroyed and dissolved.
There is no doubt that they have also summoned demons. Although they are the lowest level, they are still demons, but it is obvious that the desired effect has not been achieved.
“Who is coming?”
Huron asked in a low voice. Several of his wizards stood nearby, and the power suit and the servo device in it made low sounds. "I'll do it, Master."
Garon Surlet stepped forward.
For those of them who manipulate the power of witchcraft, extracting the memories and memories of the deceased does not require eating brain tissue or anything else. They can directly drag out the soul of the deceased.
Especially one who has just died.
He squatted next to the body, pulled out the knife, and stabbed the deceased in the head.
A few seconds later, Garon Sulet made a surprised sound.
"Huh?"
"What?"
"His soul. Gone."
"Gone?"
Huron stared The dead soldier's pale face was covered with criss-crossing scars, and his bright yellow eyes were dull.
"Plundered by a demon?"
In the subspace realm, this is a common thing. The souls of the dead are the most delicious delicacies for the nihilistic plunderers.
But the Chaos Wizard shook his head.
“If a demon had taken him away, there would have been traces or smells left behind, but there was nothing on him. He was as clean as a washed and dried dish, not even the traces of his soul that once existed on his body. There are no marks. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the thing in front of me was a dead thing.”
As he spoke, the wizard pulled out the ceremonial dagger and walked to the other dead person.
"This is the same."
Then the third and fourth -
"All of them."
When he said this sentence, his The voice was shaking.
"This is impossible... Even the most terrifying soul snatcher cannot possibly eat so many souls at the same time! And this-"
The wizard pointed at a tactician with only half of his body left on the ground. The man had the obvious mark of Khorne on his forehead.
"He is a believer of the Blood God. No matter what, I don't believe that there will be even a trace of his soul left!"
"But the fact is-"
< br>Huron showed a playful expression, and the sharp claws on his hands were unconsciously rubbing gently, making a crisp sound.
“Their souls have been taken away by something, or eaten dry.”
Garon Sulet replied in an almost frustrated tone:
"Should. Yes."
"It seems that there are some things that we don't know about happening here. What do you think?" Could it be related to those Imperial people?"
"I can't say, but I have never encountered such a method."
The voices of Huron and Garon Sulet were used throughout. All the sounds were only heard by the two of them, so the other red pirates only saw the wizard checking each corpse and did not know the results of the wizard's inspection.
If they knew, their morale might drop to freezing point. After all, for Chaos Space Marines, even if they come to the end, they must at least return to the embrace of the gods they believe in.
Huron thought for a moment, and then said to the wizard:
"Don't make any noise about this matter for now. We will investigate further after this battle is over."
"Yes, master. . ”
There will be a bi-monthly ticket event on March 29th, I hope you will support it!
