Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 172 Mokai Temple
Szczesny and Jorginho landed in the stormy sea and immediately felt a surge of strength within them.

As a higher-ranking follower of the ocean, the "Navigator" has achieved all-round improvement on the sea.

Jorginho charged at the smaller Kraken alone, his dark eyes glowing azure.

The "navigator", whose observation and memory abilities have greatly improved, outlines in his mind the Kraken's trajectory across the ocean.

The Fenrisians were surprised to see a figure falling from the sky, like a fish swimming in the sea, rushing towards the Kraken rapidly.

He easily avoided the tentacles that emerged from beneath the sea.

A burly Fenrisian man wearing a spiked mask and wielding a massive axe muttered in astonishment.

"Someone actually managed to avoid the Kraken's tentacle attack!"

The "Navigator" sensed the fluctuations underwater, and its brain quickly calculated to avoid the tentacle attack.

After changing direction dozens of times, he rushed to within 300 meters of the Kraken.

The "Navigator" raised his hands and slammed them on the sea surface. The splashing sea water was spiritually compressed into several javelins and shot towards the Kraken.

After being promoted to "Navigator", Jorginho can also use some water-related spells to a limited extent.

He was still unskilled, and the water guns he condensed were of different lengths and thicknesses.

It is over one meter long, but only as thick as an ordinary person's finger.

The short ones are about half a meter long and have a diameter like a normal person's clenched fist.

Several water guns hit the Kraken's head.

The Kraken roared in great pain, and its huge body fell to the side and crashed into the cold sea.

"Storm power!"

Amid the Fenrisians' exclamations, Jorginho leaped onto the Kraken's head. He pressed the rune of the power sword, and a dazzling blue force field surrounded the blade.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, and the huge head fell into the sea.

The Fenrisians looked at the tall figure on the Kraken in shock. It turned out that someone could kill the Kraken alone.

As they were stunned, the man who had killed Kraken alone shouted to them in his unskilled Juvik language.

"Don't just stand there, get on board."

As Jorginho spoke, he boarded a dragon boat made of sea dragons.

Just as he gathered the Fenrisians and occupied the dragon boat, Szczesny also commanded many Order Shadows from the "Tyrant" path to begin besieging and killing the Ironscale Kraken.

He divided the twenty-six Beyonders into five teams, each led by five "Raging People".

"Team one, lure the enemy from a distance!"

Six Shadows of Order immediately rushed forward, and the "Wrathful People" activated the runes, and the power gloves shining with blue light slammed heavily on the tentacles that were shooting towards them.

All the strength in the body was gathered into an "angry blow", and the cast iron scales were hit and sparks flew.

Although it failed to break through the defense, the Kraken's tentacles were also knocked away.

At the same time, the five "sailors" avoided the attacks of the tentacles like swimming fish.

"Team Two, lure the enemy in close range!"

Five Shadows of Order rushed towards the Kraken's head, tempting its fangs to chop down on them.

Szczesny noticed that the Kraken had lost its balance due to the attack and immediately gave the order.

"Teams three, four, five, attack!"

The Fenrisians who climbed onto the dragon ship saw the black-armored warriors descending from the sky, hunting the Iron-Scaled Kraken in a similar way to them, but their actions were more efficient and their coordination was more tacit.

The five teams took turns luring the enemy. Each counterattack by the Ironscale Kraken was ineffective. The attacks of the black-armored warriors always struck where the Ironscale Kraken had been injured.

Seeing that the battle was decided, Nimrod ordered the gunboats to fly towards the Kraken Peak.

After the gunboat landed on the island, he walked down the deck.

Nimrod's black eyes were filled with spiritual light, and he couldn't help but sigh.

"Treasure!"

He immediately took action, his body flashing and moving quickly. He moved the huge remains, bones, and long and narrow fangs back to the "Land of Disorder".

Nimrod discovered that some of them had dim spiritual light and could not be used as potion materials.

But they are not useless. They can be used as spiritual materials to forge magical items.

[I remember that before Old Man Huang and I arrived, Leman Russ hunted the largest Kraken in the Storm Sea - the Gorgon King.

Upon his return to the Empire, the sea monster's beak was forged into a sword, capable of easily cleaving the icebergs of Fenris in two.

Some of the beaks that cannot be used as potion materials can be used to forge weapons, especially suitable for Beyonders of the Tyrant Path.]
While Nimrod was collecting the remains of the sea monster at Kraken's Peak, Szesny organized the Beyonders to hunt down the Iron-Scaled Kraken.

He called for the orbital fleet, and the technical sergeant and his entourage to deal with the remains of the two Krakens.

Szczesny and Jorginho rescued the surviving Fenrisians from the sea and selected four dragon boats in better condition from the ships to form two fleets.

At the same time, Nimrod walked towards the ancient megalithic ruins on the top of the Kraken Peak - the Temple of Mokai.

Mokai is the death wolf worshipped by the people of Fenris, representing death and the dead.

Nimrod remembered that the future Space Wolves called the Recruit Trial the Trial of Morkai because they believed Morkai was an ally of Leman Russ.

New recruits must follow in the footsteps of Leman Russ, travel alone into the icy wasteland, and face death itself - Morkai - before returning alive to become Space Wolves.

Before the Primarch arrived at the temple, and even before he set foot inside, he suddenly felt his hair stand on end.

Nimrod stopped cautiously, knowing that even the people of Fenris did not know when the temple was built or why.

But what’s important to the tribe is that the abandoned temple is home to a vast treasure trove left over from a bygone era.

Nimrod used "subspace insight" to look at the temple in front of him, and the magnificent, rugged and solemn temple in his sight immediately changed its appearance.

The gate of the temple seemed to have turned into a gate to hell. In the invisible darkness, there were countless indescribable eyes staring out to the outside world.

[The Fenrisians have entered it to search for treasure, so there shouldn't be anything there that even I would find threatening.

But now I feel it is very dangerous inside. Is it because I am not a Fenrisian and am rejected by the temple?

Furthermore, the fact that the dying Krakens didn't destroy the temple was certainly not because they cared about the artifacts.]
Nimrod walked around the temple and found that there were many mysterious runes carved on the walls of the temple. Their tentacles covered the entire outer wall of the temple.

Nimrod stared at the tentacles, as if he understood something.

[Fenris is so big, and before the Krakens died, they all came here from thousands of miles away to wait for death. Is it because this is a permanent surface and sometimes floats to the surface?

According to the logic that the deceased hates to have their peace disturbed, this does not make sense.

There must be some mysterious force that attracted them to the Mokai Temple, which makes sense.]
A light bulb went off in Ningluo's head, and he suddenly had a guess.

[The dying Kraken was attracted by some mysterious power in the temple and came here to die. This is not a coincidence, but a necessity.]
The Primarch stood before the gate, sensing the danger within.

[It's dangerous, but not fatal.]
After a moment, he decided to enter the temple and explore its secrets.

Fenris is the home of Leman Russ and the Space Wolves, and it is not easy for him to come here again.

Now is the perfect time to explore.

The key point is that the Death Wolf Mokai is not a real god.
