Chapter 568: No Advance or Retreat
Taking advantage of Talos being dragged down by the twin demons, Khayon quickly rushed into the small church of the Mechanicus.
However, when he stepped into the corridor leading to the hall, he realized that something was wrong.
He has been to many temples and churches of the Mechanicus, and without exception, those places were filled with the roar of pistons and gears, and the pervasive smell of holy oil.
But not here.
There is only dead silence and biting cold.
The heavy boots stepped on the masonry, causing waves of echoes. Khayon slowed down and began to apply layer after layer of protective spells on himself.
Suddenly, he stopped.
At the end of the corridor, a towering figure slowly walked out of the shadows.
The opponent wore silver-gray finely crafted power armor with purple gold trim, with a shining eagle emblem on his chest. He held a strange-shaped spear in his right hand, and held a scarlet long sword hanging on his waist with his left hand. The colorful short cloak fluttered gently in the artificial wind in the corridor.
And his face is shrouded under a gorgeous helmet. The face of the helmet is shaped like a burning flame and decorated with red gems.
When the tail of the spear hit the floor with a heavy thud, Khayon knew he had met the rightful owner.
At this moment, a figure also appeared in the direction he came from.
The man wore simple power armor with almost no decoration. The only feature was a long sword on his waist and behind his waist.
Although the other party looked unremarkable, Kayon was extremely frightened.
The other party was actually able to evade his own perception without even realizing it, and go directly behind him. This kind of strength was rare even among the Black Legion.
Not to mention the opponent's posture, he should be a very powerful swordsman.
What Kayon is least good at is dealing with swordsmen——
And he is such a top swordsman.
In this way, Khayon was blocked in the corridor, but he did not appear to be panicked. Although the ether wind here was extremely thin and chaotic, he was not really forced to a corner yet——< br>
But his calmness was broken by the words of the person behind him.
“This must be Kayon from Kenitai, the Jackal Order of the Fifteenth Legion. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Hearing this string of titles, Kayon’s pupils He shrunk and turned around sharply.
"Who are you!"
This name was only used by Khayon during his short service period during the Great Expedition, and was rarely used externally, only when writing some formal reports. It will be signed this time.
Unless they are people within Thousand Sons, even warriors of his generation rarely know these titles of his.
I didn’t expect that in this place, there would be someone who could call him out.
But the mysterious man just chuckled twice and did not respond directly.
However, this title was also heard by Soshiyang. He suddenly remembered the dream he had before and the words in the dream——
[For you now, you still Too early】
【Too naive】
【If you really want to know the answer】
【Remember】
【Find the jackal】
“Jackal .” (Readers who forget can review Chapter 498)
Soshyan stared at Kayon's back, suddenly lifted the soul spear, rotated it in a circle, and pointed the tip of the spear at the chief warlock of the Black Legion.
"Traitor Iskandar Kayan! You have no way to escape, you have to be captured!"
Hearing the righteous voice behind him, Kayan slowly turned around Turning around, he looked carefully at the leader of the Astral Knights up and down, and then responded in a mocking tone:
"Traitor? Are you talking about me?"
He used He pointed at his face, and then at Soshyan.
"Then Soshyan Alexey, who are you who annexed friendly forces?"
"Humph!" Soshyan snorted coldly, and without any further intention of talking, he took a step forward and prepared to go up. Go straight to the opponent.
But before he could take a step forward, Khayon had already drawn a demon tarot card, which depicted an ugly image similar to a two-headed orangutan.
This is the strongest demon captured by Khayon since the Knight of Armor.
Despite its rugged appearance, it is actually a Tzeentch demon, close to the level of a great demon. While possessing powerful witchcraft power, its melee combat capabilities are not inferior to even the lowest-level bloodthirsty demons of Khorne. It is very difficult to defeat. entangled.
“Kill the enemy on sight!”
Kayan shouted and threw the tarot cards directly in front of Soshyan.
But the next scene almost made his jaw drop.
The tarot card flew directly in front of Soshyan, and suddenly blue flames rose, and a faint wailing sound was heard.
In just a few seconds, it turned into a small puddle of ashes on the ground.
“You——”
Kayon took a step back, the horror in his heart was beyond words.
He had realized before that Huron must have hidden something from him, but he didn't particularly take it to heart.
But now, he finally understood that Huron had concealed the most deadly information from him——
The other party has some kind of powerful anti-psychic or anti-demon means!
"Humph! Is this your last trick?"
Soshiyang took a step forward and stepped on the pile of ashes.
“If so, then your defeat tonight is doomed!”
“It’s not over yet!”
Kayon knew that it was time to fight, so he no longer cared about the people behind him and activated his spiritual energy with all his strength.
In an instant, there was lightning and thunder in the corridor, and the surging power of ether burst out of the air, forming energy shocks that roared towards Soshiyang.
The majestic momentum even caused the walls on both sides of the corridor to be filled with cracks - you must know that the walls of this place are made of several meters of alloy, even if they are bombarded by large-caliber artillery They may not all be effective.
Looking at the oncoming storm of destruction, Soshiyang did not dodge or dodge, but still moved forward at a steady pace, as if it was just a harmless breeze.
“What!”
Kayon blinked, somewhat in disbelief.
The attack I exerted with all my strength disappeared more than ten meters in front of the opponent, as if there was an absolute field.
"It seems that this is not possible. Originally, I wanted to see the scene of your trial, but now-"
Kayon sighed softly and pulled out a golden wand. , carve a sequence of runes with your finger.
The Thousand Sons chanted the word "power", omitting the word "light", and burned the power into the scepter.
As the spell ends, the hieroglyphs of Prospero on the scepter glow bright vermilion.
Kayon turned the scepter in a circle, pulled out a ceremonial dagger, and inserted it into the top of the scepter, turning it into a short spear.
“I can only fulfill the Black-Hearted King’s prayer here.”
Kayon assumed a throwing posture, and his target was exactly what he was aiming for, slowly dragging his spear over to retrieve it. Shi Yang.
"Remember, Soshyan of the Astral Knights, you died of your arrogance! By the silver tower and the ever-burning eyes, destroy!"
Just as Soshyan was approaching him, Thousand Sons threw the short spear with all his strength.
In an instant, a burning red light went straight to Soshiyang, and burst out with a dazzling light like the sun in a violent shaking——
The last day of double monthly pass! !
