Hunting the Iron-Scaled Kraken

Nimrod a deep breath and plunged into the Sea of Storms, swimming towards the giant sea monster.

The Primarch noticed that this Kraken was larger than the Rodent Octopus he had killed in the Cradle of the Sea.

He also keenly perceived that, despite their similar appearance, the Kraken was completely different from the Rodent Octopus; it was a more perfect creature.

Its body is hidden in a bony sheath, making it difficult to hit; this is a perfect defense mechanism that has evolved to adapt to its size and species characteristics.

In the deep blue sea, the Kraken stretches out its graceful tentacles, every inch of its skin pulsating with perfect arcs, the ends of which are several hard, keratinous hooks like giant pincers.

Nimrod recalled that in the forty-first millennium, after the Imperium recognized the threat posed by the Tyranids, the Biologis Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus conducted a series of studies on them and similar creatures.

They discovered that Fenrisian Kraken's tentacles had similar hard, keratinous hooks and were also intelligent.

Even if the user is eliminated, the tentacle whip will continue to attack anyone who tries to approach.

Experiments conducted by the Biologis Magos have shown that they do this by sensing brainwaves, another natural hunting tactic used by the Tyranids in their weapons.

Now, through observation, the Primarch the genome believes that the Biologis Magos's research conclusions are correct.

The Kraken were likely sent outposts to the Galaxy by the Hive's Hive Mind. For some reason, they lost contact with the Hive Mind and became "wild monsters." The Tyranids evolutionary genes hidden within them caused them to undergo the same evolution over a long period of time.

Other Biologis Magos considered by the Adeptus Mechanicus's bio-sages to be evolved from Tyranid creature include the Psyker -Soul-Eater Bee that feed on psionicists, and the Catachan Devil...

[Much more difficult to deal with than Rodent Octopus! But it also possesses a much richer Spirituality!]

Nimrod's eyes shone brightly, and the horny hooks on its Kraken tentacles, its long, dagger-like fangs, its enormous eyes, and even the bones it could see through its flesh after opening its Spirit Sight, all contained a vibrant Spirituality.

The Primarch activated the runes on the Power Fist and lunged toward the treasure before him.

At the same time, Kraken also sensed Nimrod's presence, and its massive body trembled instinctively.

It sensed that the little black thing was a delicious food.

If you devour it, you will evolve again.

Kraken raised all its tentacles and greedily coiled around the little black man.

Nimrod activated the runes, and the Power Fist shone with a dazzling golden light.

He moved like a fish, seemingly oblivious to the pressure of the nearly 10,000-meter-deep seawater, weaving among the numerous tentacles.

In an instant, Nimrod rushed to the Kraken's head, which was hidden in a bone sheath.

Kraken reacted swiftly, his long, razor-sharp fangs slashing towards Nimrod.

The fangs struck the black-armored little man, but Kraken showed no joy at successfully hunting his prey.

It felt its fangs miss their mark; the little black man didn't bleed.

Before Kraken could react, the Power Fist slammed heavily into its massive, plaza-like jaw.

The golden Disruption Field crackled, but unlike before, it did not destroy or tear apart Kraken's corpse.

Nimrod's eyes flashed as he looked at the Kraken bone sheath and the iron-like scales covering its skin.

Iron-Scaled Kraken.

Nimrod knew that the Iron-Scaled Kraken were the most powerful and deadliest of their kind, and that only they could exceed several kilometers in length.

Nimrod's hunting prey can be nearly 30 kilometers long.

The Iron-Scaled Kraken is difficult to kill in the vast ocean, even for Primarch.

Leman Russ dragged the encountered Iron-Scaled Kraken from the ocean to land, making it easier for him to kill it.

While the primary power of the Power Fist lies in the Beyonder Ability of the "Hand of Order," they are also a formidable weapon.

Surprisingly, it couldn't penetrate the Iron-Scaled Kraken's defenses. Even if it's not a material, its hide is an excellent one; it seems like a good choice for making a cloak.

Thinking of this, Nimrod decided to use the same strategy as Leman Russ: to knock out the Iron-Scaled Kraken and take it back.

This would both prove that it hunted a larger Kraken and preserve the treasure to the greatest extent possible.

Thinking of this, Nimrod suddenly stretched out his right hand and grabbed a handful of small plankton.

Fenrisian Krill.

This type of krill, similar to that of the Old Terra, is widely distributed in the waters of Fenris and is at the bottom of the food chain in the Sea of Storms.

"I'll feed you!"

The "Briber" infused one-fifth of his newly restored Spirituality into the krill and threw it into the mouth of the Iron-Scaled Kraken.

He swung his arm and threw punches, raining blows on Kraken's jaw.

In an instant, the Primarch swung its gauntlets at high frequency, slamming them into the jaw of the Iron-Scaled Kraken, which was under the "Bribery and Weakening" effect.

"Roar!"

The Weakening Iron-Scaled Kraken howled and roared, stirring up towering waves in the Sea of Storms.

On the sea, a Fenris tribe ship migrating in search of a new settlement was capsized by a giant wave.

The dragon boat, crafted from the Fenrisian Sea Dragon, capsized instantly, and the tribesmen all fell into the sea.

The Primarch moved at high speed, launching a frenzied attack around the Iron-Scaled Kraken.

The Primarch moved at a speed like a violent gale, even keeping the seawater at bay.

The Iron-Scaled Kraken had never suffered such a ferocious attack. Its head felt heavy, and black shadows overlapped and intertwined in its eyes, becoming indistinct.

His lashes with his tentacles became increasingly difficult to strike the little black man.

The dazed and confused Iron-Scaled Kraken was pushed to the surface by the high-frequency punches from the Primarch.

The Primarch's attack was not random; his Superhuman Brain performed precise calculations and planned an attack route.

Each of his attacks caused Ironscale Clark to float upwards.

Moreover, the upward buoyancy not only contains the force of a punch and an energy field, but also the surging ocean currents.

The black hurricane slammed the Iron-Scaled Kraken out of the Sea of Storms sea.

The head of the Iron-Scaled Kraken slammed heavily onto the sea, sending up towering waves.

After being hit by a series of intense attacks, the Iron-Scaled Kraken completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.

Nimrod deactivated the Disruption Field of the Power Fist and swam to the area below the head of the Iron-Scaled Kraken.

The Primarch raised its arms to support the jaws of the Iron-Scaled Kraken, using the strength of its arms and shoulders to lift the massive head and swim forward.

Dragging the Iron-Scaled Kraken required less effort than the Primarch had imagined; buoyancy eased his burden.

Once the Primarch became aware of this, it sensed the ocean currents of the Sea of Storms and, carrying the Iron-Scaled Kraken, swam towards the Gunship.

The Sea Dragon boats they encountered along the way watched this scene in Shock —someone was actually towing a huge object across the sea.

The Shock Fenris warriors knelt on the ship, chanting the names of gods such as Morkai, and worshipped them devoutly.

On the Gunship, Alpharius saw Nimrod drag back a sea monster even larger than the Gloriana-class Battleship, the Shadow of the Throne.

He stared wide-eyed, and said in Shock.

"Nimrod... he actually hunted such a huge sea monster!"

"Can Leman Russ hunt down even bigger ones?"

"He can't; Nimrod hunts bigger and faster."
