Aeldari Hunter Order
Slau Dha activated the personal Teleport device on her Warp Spider Clan armor, instantly disappearing from her spot, causing the bombs fired by the Honor Guard members to miss their target.
The two sharpshooters did not engage in a futile search.
The Primarch has sent information on the characteristics, weaponry, and origins of each faction, along with footage of his battles along the way, to the members of the Honor Guard in more than a dozen installments.
The Shadow of Order, through their combined combat experience, rapidly digested and understood the Primarch's teachings; they were the most knowledgeable armed force among humanity regarding the Aeldari Aspect Warrior.
The two sharpshooters knew that the Warp Spider, unlike most other tribes from Khaine's side, originated from tiny but aggressive spiders in Infinity Circuit.
Warp Spider can perform short-distance teleportation, disappearing without a trace and then reappearing in sight in an instant.
They were the bravest of all the Warrior of the tribes, traversing His kingdom unprotected while the great Slaanesh coveted their souls.
After a short-range teleport, the Warp Spider reappears in an instant, launching a surprise attack on the enemy.
The two sharpshooters immediately retreated into the midst of the five Honor Guard members wielding Power Sword. After several exchanges, they had learned how to deal with them and no longer needed the Primarch' help.
However, as they retreated to a secluded spot, they suddenly discovered that the red-armored Warrior with Autarch painted on their chests were not targeting them, but the Primarch.
He Flash Step behind the Primarch, raised his sword which shone brightly, and slashed at the Primarch.
The Honor Guard members immediately sent a warning to the Primarch via telepathy.
Before their thoughts could even form, they saw the Primarch, as if he had foreseen it, not turn around, but dodge the attack by sidestepping and thrusting his sword into the abdomen of the Aeldari Autarch.
Nimrod did not foresee it; his eyes flashed with light, and the trajectory of Autarch's short-distance, high-speed jump was exceptionally clear in his "Warp Insight" vision.
The Power Blade tore through Slau Dha's Warp Spider Clan armor, wounding his abdomen and staining it with blood.
With a thought, Slau Da leaped into the Sea of Souls, the piercing Shriek of his kin's deaths echoing in his ears.
Autarch's body trembled slightly as he sensed the presence of a formidable enemy.
The Aeldari call Him the Lady of Thirst, or Sai Lansresh.
The Psionic Energy array set up by Slau Da flickered with colorful light, creating a mental barrier in the Warp.
A terrifying Shriek rang in Autarch's ears. He felt the tide of souls crashing against the barrier, and he knew his time was running out.
Slau Da puts on the "War Mask," harnessing his anger to suppress the instinctive fear welling up inside him, and entering combat mode makes his thoughts and actions even faster.
The ritual of Autarch spread into the real world at a faster pace than usual, finding Anchor for the soul.
Slough Dale leaped back into the real world; before he even landed, he sensed the blue force field.
Autarch jumped into Warp again, he thought in surprise.
How is that possible? How did he pinpoint my location?
The first time Nimrod discovered my sneak attack, perhaps it stemmed from his fighting instincts.
The second time, he attacked first, indicating that he could foresee my location after I returned to the real world.
Slough Dahl bitterly realized the harsh truth: the equipment he had chosen for hunting Primarch was faulty.
He chose the Warp Spider Clan armor because he didn't want to confront the Primarch -on.
According to his battle predictions, he would use countless Flash Step attacks to exhaust the Primarch's patience and force Nimrod to expose a weakness.
But Autarch realized he was wrong; the Warp Spider's techniques were useless.
Having completed the six tribes' paths, the Autarch had better options, but he chose a useless combination.
After realizing that his beliefs were wavering, Slau Da skillfully manipulated the "War Mask" to drive away negative emotions.
Enraged, his thoughts raced like lightning.
He is Warrior; he can find a way to defeat the enemy.
Autarch leaped back into the real world and immediately saw a black afterimage rushing towards him. He swung his sword to block the Power Blade.
Slau Da's eyes narrowed; the Aeldari's innate keen senses made him notice.
As their blades clashed, his sword inflicted some damage on the runes of the Power Sword.
The Monkey's senses could not detect this imperceptible damage, but he was Khaine's mortal incarnation, and he knew all weapons, including the Monkey's.
Slau Da instantly entered his Howling Banshee form, letting out a piercing howl.
Lion mane swayed from the top, and Howling Banshee runes flashed on the forehead.
The surging howl was amplified by the Psionic Energy Shriek built into the Banshee Mask, and the Psychic Shockwave struck Nimrod's mind directly.
Nimrod knew that the Howling Banshee originated from the Morai-Heg, who desired all the wisdom within her blood, but only the God of Combat Khaine, could harm her.
So He had his two daughters, along with Khaine's, run to their partner's ear and howl, tormenting the God of Combat.
In order to end the torment, Khaine, driven to desperation, finally took his own life and cut off his partner's finger, thus allowing Mora to obtain the wisdom contained within His blood.
Therefore, the Howling Banshee are arguably the most terrifying of all the tribes of Warrior; their ancestors used their Shriek to torment the god of God of Combat himself.
There is no gender discrimination in the Craftworld, but the Howling Banshee Shrine is particularly special, and it usually only accepts women.
In the mythology of the Aeldari, the banshee is the daughter of the goddess of the underworld, but a very small number of men will embark on the path of the Howling Banshee, and Slau Da is an exception who went to the end.
Nimrod felt a piercing Shriek echoing within his brain's cranial cavity. He bypassed the first layer of Thelema Mindset and stepped directly into the second Mindset.
His physical energy instantly transformed into mental power, and "Kundalini" shut out the howl.
Entering the Howling Banshee state, Autarch transforms into a high-speed melee Warrior.
The Primarch and the Autarch Primarch clashed in close combat, and even the keenly perceptive Shadow of Order could only barely make out their afterimages.
All they could see were the shimmering silver and dark blue trails left by the sword blades as they flew through the air, and the bright, dazzling sparks that flew everywhere.
Autarch summoned every bit of power, agility, and skill he had mastered from all paths, but he found that the Primarch could withstand every attack, leaving sword wounds on his body.
Slau Da felt his body was injured; he had reached his speed limit and could no longer maintain his current ferocious speed.
But he succeeded; the Primarch's Power Sword cracked as it clashed with the Sword of Vaul.
With a piercing screech like shattering glass, Slaughter laughed.
He raised the Fire Dragon Fusion Gun with his left hand, unleashing Khaine's destructive power and forcing back the Honor Guard members who tried to approach.
Slau Da poured his last strength into the Path of the Howling Banshee, letting out a terrifying howl as he darted away from the Power Fist with explosive speed, swinging his sword toward Nimrod.
When the sword was an arm's length away from Nimrod, he suddenly saw the ring on the middle finger of the Gene Primarch flash with a blue light mixed with blazing white light.
Nimrod's body then transformed into several flames, and his attack missed its mark.
Slau Da was terrified. He twisted his arms desperately, trying to avoid the six flames that were grabbing at him like hands.
He dodged two of the flames, but the flames he avoided suddenly turned and struck his arm.
The other four flames suddenly merged into one, transforming into Fire Blade that severed his arm.
Before Slau Da could feel the Affliction, his right arm was burned to ashes, and by the time he realized what was happening, the Sword of Vaul was already in Nimrod's hands.
Autarch looked at Nimrod in Shock. Nimrod had transformed into several flames and launched an attack that was faster and more unpredictable than any fire-type Psyker he had ever seen, including his fellow Aeldari members who were skilled in this art.
Neither the intelligence obtained by the agents nor the premonitions of the Cabal indicated that Nimrod possessed the ability to freely manipulate fire.
Flames emanated from the ring—could it be it?
Even if the ring grants him the ability to unleash flames, how could it cause him to become flames?
Slau Da clearly sensed that the Primarch's body had completely turned into flames.
His bewilderment was quickly swallowed by defeat; the Sword of Vaul fell into Nimrod's hands, and he could no longer threaten the Primarch.
Nimrod gripped the Sword of Vaul in his right hand, feeling the Crimson Chain on his little finger rapidly replenishing his depleted Spirituality.
He just used the ring on his middle finger, and he has established a preliminary connection with it, confirming that its main ability is to unleash flames.
Nimrod confirmed that the ring corresponds to the "Red Priest" Pathway Sequence 4 "Iron Blood Knight" extraordinary item, which can be known from the color of the released flames and the fact that it "flames" him.
Nimrod swung his sword and severed Slau Da's right arm.
He then deactivated the runes on his Power Fist, knocking Runic Rune Autarch unconscious.
Nimrod the battlefield and discovered that only 131 members of the Honor Guard remained.
A flicker of sorrow crossed his eyes. "This is the greatest loss I've suffered since returning to the Legion and leading my descendants."
The Primarch then realized that sacrifice could also be meaningful, he told the Honor Guard members.
"From this day forward, the Aeldari Hunter Order is established, and you are its first members. You must bring back knowledge and experience to your respective Chapter and share it with your comrades in battle."
After Nimrod's Spirituality was restored, he released "Imprisonment," trapping Slau Da in an amber-like liquid.
"Bring all the Shadow of Order back to the flagship for burial."
"Take the Aeldari corpses back for autopsy, with members of the Aeldari Hunter Order participating, to deepen our understanding of the Aeldari."
"Take all the other spoils of war back with you."
Two sidereal days later, Nimrod ordered Wilshire to leave behind a small force to rebuild the Order of Arenis, and then ordered the Shadow of the Throne to set sail.
As the Shadow of the Throne sailed toward the Wheel of Fire, Nimrod brought Slau Da to the Third Layer Space of the "Nation of Disorder".
He looked at the Black Wolf lying motionless on the ground, utterly defeated.
