Chapter 988 Dimensional Claw


Chapter 988 Dimensional Claws

Taros examined the remaining seven corpses for causes of death, and each time he found the same conditions, sometimes with the addition of trauma that resulted in skull fractures.

"Captain Talos, you and your team are in danger."

Suddenly, Talos' communicator rang, and a rough, heavy voice disturbed by static came from inside issue.

However, Talos still recognized the owner of the voice.

Kayon.

But the prophet did not panic, but pushed out of the Chimera and whispered:

"Is this a trap?"

"It's not a trap, but It's a possessor who has built a nest nearby with several vicious dogs."

"Oh."

Talos raised his eyebrows.

"Then the disappearance of this team is also their fault?"

"It should be."

"Can it be solved? After all, this is our goal."

“Yes, but you have to cooperate.”

"Of course."

With that said, Talos had left the Chimera and sent a signal for the company to prepare for action.

“Company Commander, where are we going?”

Bahram’s question represented the voice of everyone. Before everyone could figure out what was going on with the Chimera, Talos suddenly led them Head west.

But there are no obvious traces at that location

"Just go."

Taros moved towards the west according to Khayon's guidance, and soon, an astonishing scene appeared.

An empty town appeared on the enemy side where there should have been nothing!

“There is no such sign on this map, how can there be a settlement?”

Talos did not speak, but directly entered the dead city.

The place was made of a dry white stone, like chalk, but not, and even a touch turned its surface to dust.

Above the towering town, the sky is purple-blue and dotted with eight stars. As the wind blows intermittently, white dust sighs and floats from the ground and corners of the white walls. , like water vapor: like a picture of a city suspended from time for tens of thousands of years and slowly fading away.

A ghost town, full of white buildings, empty everywhere.

No furniture, no decorations and belongings, not even a trace of the deceased.

Only these silent towers, houses, and blank stairs are left.

After walking for an hour or two, they noticed two things.

First, this small town that looks small at first glance is actually vast. They passed through high towers, walls, and rooftops, and only saw towers, walls, and rooftops farther away.

The second is that this emptiness makes people anxious. The soldiers began to be anxious, because except for their own footsteps and the sigh of the wind, there was no sound except a few faint wisps falling on the walls and door frames. There was no movement in the white dust.

If they spoke to each other, their voices would echo in the surrounding streets, but the echoes would not come back immediately.

Each echo comes back after a few minutes, just a little longer than it takes to feel comfortable or natural, and each echo is like a perfect copy of the original sound, rather than being hollowed out by the acoustics the sound.

For this reason they had long since stopped talking.

Taros stopped and found that the auspicious bird had stopped moving and the compass hung quietly, refusing to swing. Suddenly, an echo came from the dead white street, and the echo told a word.

"Surasian——"

But no one spoke just now.

The winds of ether briefly ceased, and everything fell silent.

Talos stood there, staring coldly ahead, adrenaline began to burn in his muscles.

Something appeared there, an enemy that could not be caught by the naked eye. It was so slight that ordinary humans could not detect it, not even with the help of machines.

But Talos is far from ordinary.

Before any of the recruits could react, the air above Talos was suddenly ignited by blue flames that bloomed from nowhere, and then a figure wearing twisted power armor ripped away the flames and appeared above, Accompanied by a scream that could freeze the soul, his claws were surrounded by supernatural flames, and he immediately swooped towards the prophet.

Talos seemed to be well prepared, activating the power sword and slashing. The force field lightning on the sword crackled as the blade was swung.

As the prophet turned his heel, it shattered the cold air, and then rubbed against the edge of the claw to create a cluster of sparks.

The screaming monster jumped away due to the impact, but its power armor could not absorb the power of Talos' attack, and its entire body slid to the ground.

Taros immediately followed and launched a cantilever slash.

The monster also blocked quickly, the weapons shook each other apart, and more sparks flew.

It was not until this moment that many recruits saw the attacker's appearance clearly. Bahram, who had read a lot of information in the library, immediately recognized the identity of this twisted figure -

"The Dimension of Heresy" Claw! ”

The Dimensional Claw was once a member of the Assault Warriors of the Legion of Astartes. Due to long-term exposure to the subspace, the physical form was extremely corroded, and the armor and flesh were completely linked together. Cutting, mincing and dismembering their prey, but as they have fallen into chaos to a level even greater than that of a bird of prey, they have also lost the ability to speak, reason or create.

However, subspace gives them the ability to cut through the barriers between dimensions and through the physical universe. Therefore, the enemies of the Dimensional Claws do not know where these monsters came from before they die. Later, they will sneak back into the nightmare dimension.

The Dimensional Claw focuses on close-range assassination, so it is often equipped with the Lightning Claw.

After Talos kicked away the howling dimensional claw in front of him, he glanced at the opponent's armor and saw some marks on the shoulder armor.

That was once a symbol that he was extremely familiar with and extremely proud of, a skeleton with blood wings.

“It’s those bastards from the Night Lords.”

Behind him, Sabourin suddenly spoke.

“He bears the mark of a traitor.”

Talos looked at the dimensional claws howling at him, and responded meaningfully:

"Yes, a bunch of pathetic bastards."

At this moment, more howls The cry rang out, and five vague figures appeared on the surrounding buildings.

They squatted on the roof, subspace flames flowing on the twisted and spiked armor surface, and they tilted their heads, like ominous crows.

“Defensive formation!”

Bahram shouted, and the recruits immediately formed a tight circle, raised their guns and pointed at the enemy high up, back to back, surrounding Talos and other commanders. This formation was mainly used to deal with the elusive enemy. enemy.

Talos knew that this was what Khayon called the lair, a gap between reality and the warp, and that the one who controlled it was a demon.

Suddenly, the road ahead was on fire.

The straight road exploded into a ball of bright orange flames, burning quickly like paper and turning into ashes, leaving a gap big enough for a vehicle to drive into.
