Catachan Daemon
Mikel activated his Spirit Sight to observe the "hunter".
After confirming that the toxins in his body had been neutralized, the team was ordered to continue their journey.
The Shadow of Order grew increasingly cautious, constantly observing their surroundings, their attention highly focused, ready to respond to any sneak attack.
He sensed that the humidity in the air was very high, as if they were moving through sticky mud.
The ground was soft, and their boots sank in frequently, making walking much more difficult than usual.
The Shadow of Order moved forward amidst the buzzing of insects, each movement slow and each step meticulously measured and controlled.
They try their best not to disturb the vegetation in order to avoid making even the slightest noise.
The team moved forward in silence, silently learning the Catachan style of movement.
As the jungle began to thin out, the "Vampire" gestured with his palm down, indicating that they needed to slow down.
Although they have made almost no sound, they are trying to be more discreet.
The Shadow of Order moved forward in a crouching posture, seeing ahead enormous creatures the size of trains, which looked like multi-limbed scorpions.
The Shadow of Order correlated the colossal scorpion-like creature with the Catachan Devil from the data distributed by the Primarch in their memories.
The "Vampire's" senses were even sharper; he detected four other creatures and thirty-seven smaller ones with a scent as strong as the blood of the Catachan Devil before him.
He knew that the Catachan Devil lived together in a nest, consisting of several large Devil and dozens of Devil larvae.
Mikel pulled out his Archaeotech Pistol and loaded the yellow, bullet-shaped propellant into the magazine.
His Archaeotech Pistol came from Necromunda, a creation of the Dark Mechanicum Era capable of firing all types of bullets.
Mikel raised his Archaeotech Pistol and aimed it at the head of the Catachan Devil.
With a loud bang, the bullet struck the centipede's head precisely.
The bullet casing shattered, and yellow chemicals spread rapidly.
The Catachan Devil roared in anger, and with a violent jerk of its head, several towering trees were snapped in half.
The Shadow of Order moved, rapidly following the pattern of Catachan's movements.
The Catachan Devil was enormous and moved slowly; the Shadow of Order easily evaded its swinging head.
They knew they had to avoid Catachan's sharp, knife-like claws and scorpion-like venomous tail.
Even if they wore Power Armor, they would be torn to shreds, and they currently have no protection provided by Power Armor.
The massive body of the Catachan Devil spun, causing towering trees to fall in droves, with broken trunks and shattered branches flying everywhere.
Mikel fired two more shots at its head.
The Catachan Devil's movements gradually slowed down; it seemed drunk, its body growing increasingly heavy.
The Shadow of Order saw, heard, and felt the ground rumbling and shaking in different directions—left, right, and front—as colossal beings moved in those directions.
The Vampire knew he had to act quickly to tame the Catachan Devil, so he immediately unfurled his "Dark Wings."
A thick black mist rose from behind the "Vampire," and a pair of illusory bat wings took shape behind him.
The "Vampire's" speed increased dramatically; he strode forward and temporarily took flight.
The "Vampire" moved with lightning speed, instantly flying to the head of the Catachan Devil.
He pulled a bottle of amber-colored potion from the right pocket of his backpack and smashed it on the head of the Catachan Devil.
The mist drifted, enveloping the heads of the "Beast Tamer" and the Catachan Devil.
The Catachan Devil let out an angry roar, its cry much softer than before, and the "Beast Tamer" could hear the weakness and powerlessness in it.
The Catachan Devil struggled to raise its head, brandishing its blade-like claws and attacking wildly.
The "Vampire" flapped his "Dark Wings," dodging the blade-shaped claws that were sweeping towards him.
Mikel's Spirituality coalesced into a whip, lashing out at the Catachan Devil.
While dodging the attacks of the Catachan Devil, the "Beast Tamer" used "Animal Taming" to tame the enormous creature in front of him.
The amber-colored potion concocted by the "Apothecary" made his Spirituality whip even more lively, almost like a physical entity, repeatedly lashing at the head of the Catachan Devil.
The "Dark Wings" behind the "Vampire" slowly dissipated, landing on the head of the Catachan Devil.
The Catachan Devil arrogantly tossed his head, trying to throw Mikel off.
But the "Vampire" was far more agile than a normal person; he lightly stomped his feet on the head of the Catachan Devil and was never thrown off.
The Catachan Devil's resistance grew weaker and weaker, and finally it stopped struggling when the "Beast Tamer" patted its forehead.
Mikel used his "Animal Senses," and his Spirituality spread to the Catachan Devil.
With a thought from Mikel, the body of the Catachan Devil slowly lowered.
Mikel said to the other Shadow of Order members, "Get on."
The Shadow of Order immediately climbed onto the train-long body of the Catachan Devil.
Sensing the struggle of the Catachan Devil, the "Beast Tamer" immediately increased his Spirituality output.
The Catachan Devil ceased its struggle, allowing the Shadow of Order to climb its massive body.
The "Beast Tamer" had another thought, and the body of the Catachan Devil he had tamed straightened up, its arthropod-shaped legs moving in unison.
The "Beast Tamer" commanded the Catachan Devil to walk out of the forest.
Mikel looked back over the head of the Catachan Devil.
He saw the large and small Catachan Devil crawling towards him, and he took out a red potion from his backpack and stuffed it into his Archaeotech Pistol.
A red bullet shot out and hit a tree three kilometers away.
A red mist filled the air, Catachan Devil, smelling a pungent odor, charged madly toward the tree.
They attacked each other along the way, and the large Catachan Devil swung its blade-like claws at the small Catachan Devil, splitting it in two.
The Scorpion Tail spread along the ground, piercing through the body of the little Catachan Devil.
After using a potion to lure away the horde of Catachan Devil, Mikel had a sudden thought and sent his newly tamed animals away.
The Catachan Devil crashed through countless trees along its path, and after traveling three kilometers, the "Beast Tamer" brought it to a stop.
Standing atop the head of the Catachan Devil, Mikel looked into the distance and saw a dozen or so toad-like creatures of varying sizes lying on the ground four kilometers ahead.
Mikel frowned when he saw them.
According to the data issued by the Primarch, the large and small Catachan Barking Toad the most dangerous and second most dangerous creatures in Catachan, respectively, and they are considered to be the most poisonous creatures in the Milky Way.
Although they appear gentle and harmless, they can unleash a burst of toxins when startled or threatened.
The toxin can kill and liquefy anything within a one-kilometer radius, including the croaking toad itself.
This toxin is so potent that even sealed protective suits such as respirators and Power Armor cannot provide protection.
Mikel knew that a swarm of Catachan Barking Toad self-destructing would turn all the Shadow of Order except himself into a pool of liquid.
The "Beast Tamer" raised his hand, signaling the Shadow of Order not to move.
They and the Catachan Devil beneath them stood like sculptures.
They remained motionless, staring at the swarm of Catachan Barking Toad.
The Catachan Barking Toad made a "croaking" sound but didn't leave.
Mikel's mind raced as he devised a detour to escape.
After a moment, he gave up in despair.
Avoiding the swarms of Catachan Barking Toad is too far a detour.
Moreover, the Catachan Devil moves with too much noise; if it alerts the Catachan Barking Toad, it will be even more dangerous.
Mikel waited for two hours before the Catachan Barking Toad got bored, croaked, and hopped away.
The "Beast Tamer" commands the Catachan Devil to emerge from the forest.
The Catachan people in the camp were shocked to see the Catachan Devil.
Just as they were about to launch their attack, the Shadow of Order emerged from the side, and one of them spoke in broken Catachan language.
"It... is... our... pet."
The Catachan were stunned. They had worked together to kill the Catachan Devil, but had never heard of anyone being able to tame such a terrifying creature.
Lucas rushed over, carrying a weapon.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw Mikel standing on top of the Catachan Devil.
News of the Shadow of Order taming the Catachan Devil spread rapidly among the tribes.
The Shadow of Order all sensed that the way the Catachan were looking at them had changed.
