Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 695 My Lord bestowed the Black Blade, which actually slew the great demon entrenched in the formless abyss with a single strike.
San Diego Bergkamp gazed at the demon who appeared atop the tower of bones, a demon with a pair of curved bull horns and a pair of shorter ram horns growing from the back of his head.

A pair of bat wings spread out behind it, covering the entire spire.

He held a double-edged giant axe in his right hand, while his left arm was fused with a living whip.

He seemed to breathe, inhaling clouds of dreams, nightmares, and illusions, exhaling billowing mist and countless little demons of various shapes.

Some demons ride on manta rays, moving among the lightning.

Then a goat-headed demon landed on the shattered lava land, holding a staff and emitting a sharp bird-like cry.

……

With a flap of its wings, the demon bat leaped from the top of the tower, revealing its majestic body that had been previously hidden by the giant bone tower.

His body resembled a scorpion, and with each flick of his tail, he tore through wisps of air.

The demon stared at San Diego, his eyes flashing with blue-purple light.

Suddenly, a series of illusions rose in San Diego's eyes:

A meteor streaked across the sky, flashing with dazzling starlight.

Huge psionic crystals appeared all around.

Each one was larger than any of the first psionic artisans of the "Shadow of Order" had ever seen, and their radiance was far more dazzling.

Compared to the natural psionic crystals of Crystal Illusion, they are like stones compared to sparkling gemstones.

……

A fallen meteorite, a shimmering psionic crystal...

Everything is made of top-quality materials, and psionic items crafted from them will be rare treasures.

San Diego's gaze did not linger on them for a moment; in an instant, he ascended to the third level of Thelma's state of mind.

In his eyes, the scene suddenly changed; the falling meteorite transformed into streaks of purple lightning, and the shimmering crystals into dense thorns...

San Diego's eyes flashed. Sure enough, it was all an illusion. If he were to be greedy and reach out to touch it, he would suffer a severe injury.

As he pondered, countless bolts of lightning rained down, shooting towards his position like a barrage of arrows.

Starlight leaped from the eyes of the demon-type psionicist, and the dimensional warp device attached to his power backpack on his back emitted a dazzling light.

San Diego and his six mind servants vanished suddenly, appearing out of thin air above a rift.

Streaks of lightning followed closely, raining down like a storm.

Thorns rose up like snakes, rushing straight towards them.

Demonic magic exists in the supernatural realm and transcends the constraints of physical laws, locking onto the mind of its target.

With a thought, the demonic psionicist activated his second subspace circuit, and runes lit up on two more mind servants.

The black-armored body kept disappearing and reappearing.

Streaks of lightning flashed past, and the soaring thorny python repeatedly missed its target.

San Diego suddenly appeared behind the demon. He raised his left hand, and the powerful ring weapon worn on his middle finger, created by the space ape for the Shadow of Order, shot out as twelve ice spikes.

Each ice spike was as big as his clenched fist, and wherever it passed, puffs of air burst like exploding balloons.

bang bang bang...

Ice spikes shot out onto the demon's right wing, creating a series of explosions.

The demon bat's wings quickly became covered in frost, and its flapping speed slowed down.

Six mind-controlled minions raised their bedrock-type explosive guns and fired a dense barrage of golden bullets.

Golden rays of light rained down on the demon's massive back, like sparks of fireworks shooting into a vast ocean, vanishing in an instant.

“San Diego Bergkamp, ​​your attack cannot harm me in the slightest.” The demon spoke in standard Vostorian, his voice shifting and changing, like the hissing of a thousand snakes or the bleating of sheep.

“I am Unai, I am the Lord of Illusions.”

“I will devour your soul, and all your illusions will become my food.”

As he spoke, plumes of mist rose up, engulfing everything around San Diego.

San Diego saw his body being swallowed by a huge mouth, its sharp teeth turning him into a pile of mud.

He saw again that he was as if he were wrapped in a blurry film of water, surrounded by a group of confused and terrified souls.

Each of them had tiny stars on their shoulder armor.

He and the Shadow Order of the Fifth Legion became food for the demons.

"The illusion you've fabricated is not my future." The "Recorder's" eyes lit up with runes that read "I came, I saw, I recorded," and he opened his arms.

A sacred, clear light descended from the sky.

A pure, warm light struck the demon's majestic back, piercing the mist like a spear.

The moment the illusion vanished, San Diego saw a living whip sweeping towards him.

The holy light struck the black whip, creating a gash. Unai roared, and the living whip trembled before striking again.

Although the "Summoning Holy Light" of Sequence 7 "Sun Priest" recorded by the "Recorder" had good damage to demons, it still failed to cause substantial damage to the powerful Unai.

The living whip cracked and snapped, and the explosions of shattering orbs of light rang out.

The aroma of musk permeated the air, interspersed with chaotic illusions.

San Diego reached for his waist with both hands and quickly raised them.

He flicked a green teardrop from his left hand and shouted in Dunn's tongue, "Silence!"

The ever-changing illusionary land is like a slowed-down rhythm.

The rate at which air masses are formed and destroyed suddenly stopped.

The approaching live whip seemed to be pulled by silk threads, slowing down more and more.

San Diego flicked out a talisman with his right hand, "Worm!"

The stripes branded on the even-numbered black and gold pieces came to life, and swarms of maggots rolled and pounced on the living whip.

puff!puff!puff!
Clouds of blood mist drifted by, and the living whip was instantly cut in half.

Unai's thoughts paused, his eyes lit up again, and he realized that he had lost the thousands of delicious illusions he had been devouring.

"Roar!" He let out a deafening roar, flapped his wings, and swung his giant axe down.

San Diego noticed that the worm spell had not caused any real damage to Unai.

As he took out another Silence Charm, he drew a black knife from his waist with his right hand.

Santiago infused his spirit with energy and flicked his palm out.

"silence!"

As the green light rose, Unai let out a howl.

As the colorful mist rose, Unai's sluggish body suddenly accelerated.

The giant axe cleaved down!

The "recorder" had no time to dodge, and knowing that Unai had a way to deal with the worm spell, he infused spiritual energy into the ring on the middle finger of his left hand.

Flames suddenly erupted, and Santiago's body was engulfed in flames.

The giant axe cleaved down, and the fiery body shattered into streams of flame.

As the flames scattered, a streak of black light cleaved through the colorful mist, striking Unai in the abdomen.

The gash caused by the black knife was only the size of a normal person's fist.

But the crack emitted a pale light, and decay spread rapidly around it.

Unai let out a terrified scream.

Tens of thousands of dreams withered away rapidly and vanished in an instant.

Green light emanated from Unai's body.

The green light grew stronger and stronger, emanating from his body.

boom!
With a loud bang, Unai's body exploded.

Tiny sparks drifted down and coalesced.

Saint Diego's form materialized, his eyes deep and unfathomable. [The black blade bestowed by my lord has slain a great demon, who dwells in the formless abyss and possesses his own territory, with a single strike.]
He gazed at the spire built of bones, his eyes deep and seemingly piercing through layers of illusion.

The demon-type psionicist could sense Unai's faint aura; he was so weak that he flickered like a candle flame.

As he pondered whether to take advantage of Wunai's weakness to enter the White Bone Spire and explore, or even try to completely annihilate him, he suddenly heard a murmured voice in his ear.

“Sams, I am Sams, Sams is everywhere…”

San Diego's expression changed; he knew Samus.

The data crystals bestowed by the Black Emperor mention that Samus is one of the most powerful demons.

The demonic psionicist immediately activated the last subspace circuit, and the runes on the last two mind servants leaped up.

As the star bridge rapidly formed beneath their feet, a sharp claw emerged from the volcano.

boom!
A mind-devouring machine exploded, its claws slamming onto the starlight.

The Starship, with its San Diego slamming heavily onto the deck.

As he slowly rose, he found that only two mind servants remained beside him.

"The teleportation was too hasty; one was torn apart by Samus, and three others were lost in the warp turbulence."

San Diego recalled his experience in the Invisible Abyss and thought with relief.

The demons that dwell in the invisible abyss are all extremely powerful.

Fortunately, due to my careful preparations and the blessings of my Lord, I was able to return safely.
