The Shield of Roar, however, could not withstand the combined might of three burly men skilled in both magic and martial arts!

In [Howling Soul], hundreds of skull-like masks opened their mouths, revealing a blinding light shining from within. Then, a purple beam compressed to its limit shot out, heading straight for the Gray Knight.

The number of skull face symbols on the Howling Soul armor actually records the number of Lucius's deaths. He's died thousands of times. It's not wrong to say that Lucius, the "Immortal," is the least prestigious of the four chosen gods.

But their abilities are indeed shameless.

There are only four people in the entire universe who could kill the most powerful champion chosen by an evil god without feeling a sliver of schadenfreude.

But once he experiences joy or pleasure, he's doomed. Lucius uses this as nourishment to forcibly resurrect himself in the body of the one who killed him. Erasing his original will, inheriting his memories, and devouring his original body all make him stronger. This is the origin of Lucius's codename, "The Undying."

Therefore, no one is more suitable than the Grey Knights to be the executioners who killed Lucius. Their iron will will never waver, and killing Lucius is no different from killing an ordinary Chaos Space Marine.

Lucius imprisoned the souls of these powerful beings within his armor for his own use. Even mechanical lifeforms like the Necromancers of the Space could not escape the effects of Lucius's curse! The noise generated by those souls tormented for tens of thousands of years, when released individually, could easily destroy a giant mountain range, let alone the combined power of hundreds of them. Even the Grey Knights would have to temporarily retreat from its edge.

This gave Lucius a brief respite, but he hadn't had time to relax yet.

Suddenly, as Lucius turned around, several dazzling, fiery golden fireballs, indistinguishable from small stars, appeared in the area before him, arranged in a triangular pattern and surrounding him.

The blazing flames illuminated Lucius's battered face, his eyes blazing with fury.

"Damn you!"

It was the [Meteor] spell cast by the other three Grey Knights that replaced the Grey Knights who were temporarily dodging the attack and strengthened this "Flawless Blade".

In the words of Kenmei Isayama, it's called starting from a higher position.

Lucius really wanted to curse at his mother!

"Damn it, six against one!"

Lucius wished he had three heads and six arms; two hands were simply not enough, and he also had to fend off the terrifying psionic attacks from several others at the same time, making it a truly exhausting situation.

Actually, Lucius wasn't the only one who felt numb; Kenmei Isayama was also there, huddled in a corner, trembling, holding a little nun who had already fainted.

Despite the barrier erected by a Grey Knight, Kenmei Isayama felt utterly unsafe witnessing the battle. Only when his entire body's psionic shield was activated to its maximum could his mind find a moment of solace and respite within this area.

If there were a blanket, "macho man" Kenmei Isayama would have chopped him down to just one and huddled under it long ago.

powerful!

Why are they so powerful?

In Kenmei Isayama's memory, the power of the Grey Knights was only legendary. These "demigods" were special forces against the Chaos Demons, and it was said that a Grey Knight squad leader could take down a Great Demon in a one-on-one fight.

The Grey Knight's performance, compared to Kenmei Isayama, was like seeing Superman from Space Marines—incredibly cool.

Leaving aside their godlike and terrifying psychic powers, even their most basic combat skills far surpass those of the Black Templar's most elite Sword and Brotherhood veterans.

Lucius was no match for the three Grey Knights; had it not been for his superior swordsmanship, he might have been killed in the first round.

This company commander of the 13th Company of the Sons of the Empire was unparalleled in swordsmanship at the time. He had served as a swordsman guard in the squad of Ariman, the mentor of Kenmei Isayama, for a period of time. (During the search for the Fragment of Magnus)

The reason why the six Grey Knights haven't been able to defeat Lucius is probably mainly because of him. With him around, the Grey Knights can't use their many violent methods effectively.

It was only because of the influence of Horst Eisenholm, one of the Inquisitors and Lords above Kenmei Isayama, that Isayama was able to secure his favor. He must have spoken to a Grey Knight Grand Instructor, hoping that the Grey Knights on the mission would give Isayama some special consideration.

Xianming, this young man.

As for the rules, whether you understand them or not, Isayama Kenmei's memories of the Grey Knights will be erased by a special member of the Inquisition. The foot that Isayama Kenmei deliberately severed was treated by a Grey Knight who served as an apothecary in this specially formed Grey Knight squad, and Frey was also thrown to Isayama Kenmei by that apothecary Grey Knight, yet she was not executed.

"You are so lucky."

Kenmei Isayama touched the head of the unconscious nun, estimating that the two of them were now the only living people left in the Hagia Sophia Cathedral.

The aftershocks of the battle between the Grey Knights and Lucius were beyond the tolerance of ordinary mortals; they were not entitled to enjoy the isolation barrier set up by Alpha-level psionicists.

The cathedral has not yet been demolished because the Grey Knights reinforced the surrounding barrier with psionic magic.

Isayama Kenmei couldn't see anything from the outside because the vast space of the "Sage's Abode" was completely filled with raging flames, much like the scene of a solar flare erupting on a star. The high-temperature particle streams collided and obscured Isayama Kenmei's vision.

Anyone with a brain knows that the outside is already a no-man's land at least several thousand degrees Celsius.

Kenmei Isayama is now unable to stand up either. The vines that Lucius had previously wrapped around Kenmei Isayama's feet were a weapon called the "Whip of Torture," which housed a terrifying demon.

If Kenmei Isayama hadn't swiftly severed the entire lower part of his left leg, he would not only have fallen into the realm of Slaanesh, but his spirit would have also been corrupted by the power of demons.

It took quite a while for the rampaging, violent force to subside, thanks to the intervention of the Grey Knights.

One of the Grey Knights gathered all the terrifyingly hot flames in the area into a highly concentrated ball in his palm, then crushed it with a single blow.

After the flames subsided, the surroundings, illuminated by the sky, were scorched into iridescent glass crystals. All the exquisite architectural ruins were unrecognizable, melted into magma-like forms, with high-temperature gases rising. In this charred and devastated world, Kenmei Isayama saw six large cans radiating a divine light, completely unharmed.

Lucius still stood, the champion of Slaanesh, his chest almost blasted open by the Grey Knights' psionic magic, his left hand gone. From his chest, one could clearly see the scene behind him, with flickering flames in the darkness at the edge of the charred hole.

"He's not dead?"

However, Kenmei Isayama discovered that even after suffering such severe injuries, this guy was not quite dead yet.

"Before our purifying fire, demons and corrupt minions have only one path: death."

The lead grey knight spoke in a deep voice to Lucius.

"It's time for everything to be settled, Lucius, the traitor to the Empire."

"No one can escape the judgment of the Empire."

During the Horus Rebellion, Lucius ruthlessly purged loyal Space Marines using viral bombs, marking the beginning of his long and sinful life.

"Don't yell in front of Lord Lucius!"

Lucius's lips curled into a mocking smile at this.

"***The Corpse King's lackey."

In response, two Grey Knights raised their Nemesis Halberds, seemingly poised to strangle Lucius from both sides.

But just when Kenmei Isayama thought he had it all figured out, a crisp explosion rang out in the air, like the sound of a blade shattering and armor being pierced.

"Bah!"

Isayama Kenmei immediately felt his hair stand on end and his skin crawl. He subconsciously lowered his head and pressed the little nun's head down as well.

As soon as Kenmei Isayama lowered his head, the barrier in front of him, constructed by the Grey Knights and unmoved by temperatures of several thousand degrees, was shattered in a single blow. Then, the sharp blade pierced precisely where Kenmei Isayama had just leaned his head.

"..."

When he looked up and saw the blade deeply embedded in the wall less than fifty centimeters away, the chills that ran down Isayama Kenmei’s spine did not subside but instead intensified.

It was actually the blade of the Nemesis's halberd.

He was just 0.4 seconds away from dying.

The blade, which was originally held by the Grey Knight to strangle Lucius, was shattered and flew straight toward Kenmei Isayama.

"what happened!"

But when Kenmei Isayama turned his gaze to the center of the arena, his eyes widened immediately.

There was someone else standing between the two Grey Knights and Lucius, someone who had appeared out of nowhere.

No, it's hard to call him a "person".

A long snake tail was connected to a broad body, creating a monster with a snake's tail on the lower body and a human body on the upper body.

His body and face were elongated, but his handsome features became sinister and menacing, with spiraled horns on his head. His chest cavity mutated to accommodate an extra pair of arms. Despite the grotesque nature of his body, the overall form was surprisingly perfect. The suddenly appearing monster had clearly defined pectoral muscles, and his skin was a beautifully gradient of light purple.

This terrifying being's lower body, covered in snakeskin that gleamed with the luster of gemstones, possessed a terrifying allure in its movements that would make even the Elven race feel ashamed of themselves.

The most terrifying thing is that this monster pierced through the Grey Knight's "Aegis-type" Terminator power armor.

When this terrifying creature pulled its hand out, it was covered in blood.

"I've wanted to try it for a long time."

Although his voice was full of decadence, it could not conceal his nobility.

The white-haired, half-human, half-snake handsome man with golden vertical pupils opened his mouth, revealing a slender tongue as he licked the blood off his hands before showing a look of disgust.

"How much of our brothers' blood is mixed in here to make it taste so complicated?"

"Your taste is as bad as ever, you old geezer."

"Why is he here?"

Kenmei Isayama witnessed this scene.

The guy in front of me, if I'm not mistaken, is the one Slaanesh promised to be Kenmei Isayama's swordsmanship teacher at the beginning.

The Emperor's third son, the corrupted Primarch, Forgrim of the Perfect Phoenix Chapter of the Sons of the Emperor.

The fallen Phoenix Lord suddenly turned his gaze to Isayama Kenmei and smiled.

"Hello, my precious apprentice."
