Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 69 Dual Psychic

Just as Bukayo was about to raise his gun to shoot the scorpion-shaped monster, he saw it torn into pieces with a loud explosion.

He turned his head and saw Malena, wearing a black dress and holding a staff, walking towards him through the crowd.

He nodded to Malena and turned to continue his attack.

Just as Malena reached the front of the third group, a picture suddenly flashed through her mind: a monster shaped like a bat with six pink tentacles growing from its back was rapidly pouncing towards her head.

There was no time to use the ether spell, but the "tillage" was not panicked at all. She suddenly raised her arm and punched upwards.

The fist broke through the air and hit the bat monster's abdomen.

The "tiller" possesses great strength and can send the bat monster flying with a single punch using only physical strength.

The bat monster spun and crashed into the crystal ceiling, and its body fell into the group of monsters.

Marlena raised her staff and faced the surging horde of monsters.

The monsters' bodies immediately shook and swelled, and they felt an uncontrollable energy bursting out from their bodies.

bang bang bang...

Just like balloons bursting, dozens of monsters in the first rows were blown to pieces in an instant.

Just as Malena arrived in time and used her biochemical psychic power to kill the monsters, Nimrod also sent all the light sculptures back to the "Kingdom of Disorder".

Still having received no news, he realized that Bukayo and Malena must have been in trouble.

Nimrod immediately sent a message to Gul Gul: "Assemble the Eighth Regiment and follow me to the surface."

As he boarded the barge and flew towards the surface, Malena and Bukayo's expressions changed at the same time inside the Crystal Mountain.

At the same time, they felt a tsunami-like sound coming from the front.

They knew that monsters, countless times more numerous than before, were rushing towards them.

The two then saw a figure among the group of monsters.

He was dressed in a gray robe and held a crystal staff in his right hand.

Marlena also noticed that the man was holding a six-sided pyramid in his left hand, which was shining with dazzling ether light.

If the crystals on the surrounding cave walls were considered points of light, then the one in his hand would be like a dazzling lumen.

Marlena realized that the crystal was the rare ether crystal recorded by the Flao people. It was a rare material that could be used to make items such as wands.

The other crystals around can only be considered as ether-sensitive materials and can only be used to make some decorations.

Immediately, her attention was drawn to the man in gray robe.

It was as if there was an invisible protective shield covering him, and the monsters pounced on him again and again, but were then bounced away.

Every time he shook his staff, several monsters would burst into flames.

[He is a powerful psyker, with fire-based attacks and telekinetic defenses.]
Malena thought for a moment and said to Bukayo.

"I think it was the crystal he took that attracted the monster."

"He has a force field protecting him, so it's hard to knock down the crystal."

Bukayo frowned slightly, he found that the group of monsters that were rushing in were extremely crazy.

Where before they would dodge attacks, they now charged directly into the flames.

[The monsters are going crazy. Even if they kill the psychic in front of them, they won't stop.]
Thinking of this, he understood what Malena meant.

"The only thing we can do now is cooperate with him and retreat together. I hope he's smart enough."

The gray-robed psychic also noticed the team behind him. He held the psychic crystal tightly in his left hand, mobilized the etheric energy, and then raised his staff high.

With him as the center, a vortex of fire appeared out of thin air and swept around.

The monsters caught in the sea of ​​fire let out miserable cries, and the gray-robed man took the opportunity to rush out.

He had the same idea as Malena and the others, that only by working together could they escape.

He stood between the two of them, closer to the front, and took the initiative to bear the frontal impact of the monster.

The team fought and retreated, but the monsters seemed endless. Malena's spiritual energy was rapidly consumed, and she felt a buzzing in her temples.

What she had learned from the data crystals of the Furao people reminded her that this was a sign that the etheric energy was approaching its limit.

If you continue to use psychic power, you will either collapse or lose control, and your soul will be lost in the vast ocean.

Just then, Marlena heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Step aside."

Malena and Bukayo were both cheered up, they knew Nimrod was coming.

They immediately spread out to the sides and leaned against the wall. The gray-robed psyker couldn't understand the Vostroyan language; he only heard a rich voice behind him.

The next moment, he heard a loud bang, and then felt a strong wind sweeping across the left side of his body.

His force field shield shook for a moment, then shattered with a bang. He was thrown to the right, supporting himself with his staff, and was shocked to see a giant charging into the group of monsters.

The giant's speed was like lightning, so fast that his eyes could hardly keep up, and he could only see the monsters falling in groups.

He had just come to his senses when the giant came back.

The giant's footsteps seemed to step into his soul, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

Nimrod stared at the silver-haired psychic in surprise, but the other's narrow blue eyes did not avoid him.

[Good will, weaker than Malena, stronger than others.]
He asked in the local language of Crystal Vision.

"what's your name?"

"My name is Arsène Dunne, and you are?"

Arsene subconsciously addressed the giant in front of him with a respectful title.

"Nimrod, the king of Vostronia."

Nimrod's black eyes swept across the psychic crystal.

"I think you should know what is at the end of this passage?"

"Greetings, king from afar."

Arsene bowed slightly and then spoke.

"At the end of the passage lies an evil kingdom that worships the Heartslayer."

"Those ignorant and corrupt people call the Heart Butcher a god, but I believe that if he really exists, he is an evil spirit."

"They erected a statue to the Heartslayer and built a foul altar, offering sacrifices to him every six days, six months, and six years."

"They call themselves the Heart Eaters, and over thousands of years, they have become increasingly different from other tribes."

The silver-haired psychic said, raising the psychic crystal in his hand.

"I want to know if there really is a Heart-Slayer who tempts them to fall."

"So I sneaked into the altar and got the crystal."

Ning Lu's black eyes were deep as he stared at the psychic crystal for a few seconds, on which the purple light flickered.

He stared at it and could feel the faint wail of pain contained in it.

[It seems that due to the sacrifice, the power of the Slaanesh demon seeped into it, but it was very weak after breaking through the curtain.

Even psychics would find it difficult to detect, and even a wielder like Arsène would be unaffected, dissipating after a few days.]
"I want to destroy this country that worships heresy. Are you willing to lead the way?"

"There are sixty thousand Mind Eaters, and they keep tens of thousands of monsters in captivity, like what you just saw."

"That's all right," Nimrod said confidently, "Just lead the way."

Arsene glanced at the people in the passage and roughly knew that there were thousands of them.

If someone had told him before that he could rely on thousands of people to attack the Mind Eaters, he would have thought that person was crazy.

But when he witnessed Nimrod's terrifying fighting power, he couldn't help but subconsciously feel that the giant could do it.

While Arsene was stunned, Nimrod gave the order directly.

"Marlena and Bukayo, return to the battleship and rest."

"The third regiment will remain on the Pride of Vostroya, and one company will remain on each of the other three warships."

"The rest of the troops, after landing, will attack from different directions."

After Malena and others received the order and returned, Nimrod said to Arsena.

"lead the way."

"it is good."

Arsena has decided to lead the way. Even if he cannot destroy the Heart-Eater Tribe, at least Nimrod's fighting power can be used to fight his way out again.

Nimrod followed Arsena and he clearly felt that there were six forks in the road from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

At every fork in the road, there is only one correct path.

This is a test for the senses.
