Chapter 950 Ancient Demon


Chapter 950 Ancient Demon

However, with every step, the air seemed to be filled with more and more electric charges, a strange halo crackled along the fruits on the statue, and mysterious moans sounded in Aspen echoed around Tate.

As they approached the pile of corpses, Talos discovered that they were buried inside a giant spiral.

The curving lines are formed from a series of carefully crafted runes, each carved into the floor with a plasma torch and filled with coagulated blood.

The symbols stung his eyes, and as he tried to focus, it seemed like jagged needles were driving into his brain.

The longer he stared at the spiral, the stronger the effect became.

The surviving bugs had given up their frenzied attacks and retreated from the Astartes in an irregular circle, lurking just outside the range of the chainswords to bide their time.

Members of the squad continue their bloody work, carefully shooting the monsters with their bolt pistols.

Death energy continues to fuel the vortex, further igniting the invisible flame.

Talos gritted his teeth, endured the increasingly severe pain in his head, and led his team forward step by step.

They were ten meters away from the pile of corpses now, and he could see that each corpse was smeared with its own runes, coated in a translucent slime that shimmered slightly in the strange energy flickering above them.

When the ball lightning flashed, the prophet caught a glimpse of some kind of mark on the side of a statue more than ten meters high above the pile of corpses.

But before he could focus on what it was, the bugs suddenly turned around and charged towards his team.

An ominous premonition gripped Talos.

“Not good!”

However, before he could shout a warning, all the remaining bugs were blown to pieces.

The next second, their death energy hit the ether like a hammer, and the pent-up power in the room exploded.

When the barrier between reality and the ether began to collapse, Talos felt the sense of spatial dislocation sharply intensify. He staggered, and because the mental shock absorber was about to be overloaded, painful spikes stung. got into his brain.

In front of him, the pile of corpses seemed to be grasped by a pair of invisible hands and piled up into the shape of an arch.

At the same time, Talos finally sounded what the symbol was——

".Blood Angel!"

At this moment, in the distant Baal galaxy, Mephisto, who was looking down at the book, seemed to feel something. He suddenly raised his head, his pale and thin face under the dim light of the candle. It has a corpse-like texture.

This is the holy hall that belongs only to him - a magnificent anti-psychic hall. The huge plasma generator suspends thousands of the most dangerous think tank banned books in the air. The buzz stirred the air like the engine room of a battleship.

He himself was sitting in a relatively quiet corner of the hall, with a brass desk in front of him.

The brass candlestick placed in the center of the table, its bright light will sweep away the surrounding haze and darkness - the flat surface of the desk that has been hammered for thousands of times shimmers and shines.

Suddenly, a blood slave appeared from the darkness. He was wearing a red robe, his face was hidden in the shadows, he bowed and whispered:

"Master Dante is here."

"Invite him in."

The bent blood slave nodded and quickly stepped back into the shadows.

Then, Mephisto turned his attention to the ancient book in front of him. This was a secret volume he accidentally discovered while sorting out the group's files. There was no signature on it, but there was one. A symbol that disturbed him greatly.

Although he didn't recognize this symbol, Mephisto's intuition told him that this thing was dangerous.

Then he flipped through the ancient books and was surprised to find that an old event from the legion era was recorded in them. At the same time, he also realized what the symbol represented.

This secret volume is not without a signature. The symbol is its name. It has a very special status in the Blood Angels. Everyone usually calls it "Sanguinor".

Soon, Dante, wearing a robe, walked into the holy hall. "Do you have a problem with me?"

After saying hello, Dante sat on the chair opposite Mephisto and leaned back into the chair.

Mephisto nodded and pushed the secret scroll in front of Dante.

“I found this while sorting out the files.”

Dante frowned and opened the secret volume. As he gradually looked back, the expression on his face became more and more intense. consternation.

“Is there such a thing!?”

"There is no record at all in the history of the Chapter. Obviously the Primarch did not want anyone to know."

The reason why Dante was so surprised was that this secret volume actually recorded a demon, a demon in Holland. A powerful demon that has been active since the days of the Russ Rebellion—Madel.

It turns out that in the late period of the Great Rebellion, the Triprimaries Sanguinius, Guilliman and Lion, who met in Macragge, tried to break through the Destruction Storm and go to Terra. On the way, they encountered an enemy controlled by the demon Mardel. The "Path of Destruction" ensued and fighting broke out in the Davin system, resulting in Sanguinius being trapped in a portal on the altar that caused Horus's fall.

In the portal, the Angel saw a vision of the Emperor congratulating him on defeating Horus and saving the Imperium, but the Angel defeated the vision.

After the ruse was exposed, Mardel gathered his Daemon army and tried to force Sanguinius to serve the Chaos God by force. They gave him a choice: replace Horus as the Warmaster of Chaos, otherwise he would will die.

Sanguinius resisted the temptation and launched a fierce battle with Mardel. In the end, the battle was interrupted due to the intervention of the Primarch Guilliman, Jonson and the Holy Blood Guard. The demon army was defeated, but Sanguinius Si and Mardell were also severely injured and trapped in the portal.

At the critical moment, someone appeared and replaced Sanguinius in the portal, released Sanguinius, and disappeared with Mardel.

Based on the way this secret volume was written, it is obvious that this person is Sanguileno, and the book finally explains that it sealed Mardell back to its "place of first birth".

"This place is"

The last part of the secret volume was a bit sloppy, and Dante couldn't figure out what the name of the place written in Balkan was after reading it for a long time.

Mephisto leaned toward the copper table and summoned a holographic image with a wave of his hand: a detailed star map jumped into Dante's eyes.

"The Pavilion Star, a death world located in the Pandora galaxy in the extreme star field."

Dante glanced at the star map and tried to outline in his mind the journey from the Hades galaxy where Baal was located to the Pandora galaxy. distance.

There is no doubt that the two are very far apart.

"Very good, this will be very useful information for the Chapter."

"Captain, this is not just a piece of information."

Dante looked at Mephisto in confusion.

"Is there any secret here?"

"It's not a secret."

Mephisto knew that Dante had just returned from a mission not long ago. I didn't receive any news from there, so I took out a data pad.

"The Astropath received a briefing from the Naval Sector Base a week ago, and something happened on the Pioneer Planet."

"What!?"
