Nikuli's Whisper Spear

Upon entering the Flao Fortress, they were attacked not by Flao, but by a new type of Xenos creature.

A slender, humanoid creature with long, spiny scales extending upwards from its scalp.

Their eyes were white slits, they had almost no noses, their jaws protruded forward, and two thin fangs hooked from their underbites and hung on their upper lips.

They were all hunchbacked, swaying as they raised their guns and attacked the Shadow of Order.

When Nimrod saw the Xenos, he immediately recognized their race— the Nikuli.

[Nikuli, the Whisper Spear.]

Nimrod's eyes flashed, and sure enough, he noticed that among the Nikuli who were holding Autogun, a few elites were wielding a strange weapon.

Its front end resembles two Chainsword joined together, covered with dense serrations, while the rear half is a grooved barrel.

Its highly complex system of valves, reeds, and resonant cavities is reminiscent of music.

[Indeed, it was the Whisper Spear.]

Whisper Spear is the primary material for Sequence 9 "Warrior" and Sequence 8 "Brawler", and Sequence 7 "Weapon Master". Another primary material is Visken's Arm.

Nimrod knew that the Visken and Nikuli were both excellent bounty hunter and mercenary races in the Galaxy.

The auxiliary materials for "Weapon Master" are also related to Visken; they are their knives.

Nimrod shouted to the Honor Guard members, "It's Nikuli! Watch out for the strange weapons they're carrying!"

"Use your Leman's Ear to filter out the strange sounds."

As soon Nimrod finished speaking, Nikuli pointed the Whisper Spear in his direction.

The Whisper Spear activated, emitting a piercing roar, and the Nikuli began to tremble under its influence.

The Nikuli's unique physical structure allows them to resonate with the Whisper Spear.

Nikuli's mercenary aimed his Whisper Spear at the Honor Guard members, the sound waves carrying the bullets shot out.

The sound waves were neither loud nor harsh, but rather gentle and soft, like a whisper in your ear.

One of the Honor Guard members reacted a moment too slow and failed to follow the Primarch' order to filter out the abnormal sound waves.

The whispers drifted into his ears, and he suddenly felt dizzy, his body swaying.

The bullet struck his Power Armor, leaving a dent.

The other Honor Guard members quickly activated Leman's Ear to filter out the whispering sound waves, and then used their Bolter to attack the Xenos.

The roar of exploding shells and the whispers echoed across the battlefield, creating a striking contradiction.

The dizzy Honor Guard members stood frozen in place, as if hypnotized.

The Nikuli mercenaries were surprised to find that their weapons could not harm the black-armored Warrior, so they turned their fire on the stunned enemy.

Nimrod's ears twitched, shutting out the whisper.

With a flap of his golden wings, he flew to his offspring's side, sheltering him within them.

The bullets struck the golden wings, only to be deflected.

Nimrod reached out with his left hand, grabbed his offspring's shoulder, and tossed him backward.

Nikuli' mercenaries charged at the Honor Guard members, and an elite mercenary wielding Whisper Spear thrust at the black-armored Warrior before him.

His attack was so swift that even the Shadow of Order couldn't dodge it in time.

The serrated blades whirred as they pierced the Power Armor.

The moment the serrated edge pierced Astartes' body, a whisper echoed in his mind.

The arm raised by the Shadow of Order froze, its eyes vacant, as it fell into a coma.

The roaring saw teeth cut through his body, yet he did not react, and was sawed in two by the Whisper Spear.

Nimrod his wings and appeared above the head of the Nikuli mercenary who had killed his offspring, his body falling to the ground.

The Nikuli mercenary was instantly trampled into a pile of mud, leaving only Nimrod's deliberately preserved arm and the Whisper Spear on the ground.

Nimrod took flight again, swooping down repeatedly, using the Sword of Vaul to kill one Nikuli mercenary after another wielding the Whisper Spear.

In the heart of the Fortress stood a palace, and on a high platform within it, General Flau witnessed the complete breach of the Nikuli mercenary line he had hired at great expense.

He said to the other mercenary leader standing beside him, "Milos, Nikuli is no match for you. Now it's time for Visken to prove himself as the most elite mercenary in the Galaxy."

Milos grinned menacingly and said confidently, "Visken are the Galaxy's top mercenaries. We will kill every black-armored Warrior who breaches the city walls."

Night has fallen, and Visken's time has come.

After speaking, he strode towards the door. Before leaving, he turned back to General Flau and issued a warning.

"After the war, I expect to receive payment; please be prepared."

He drew his sword and twirled it. "Flao Glass Blade, crystal, and other rewards."

"Of course, I keep my promise," General Flau replied, his eyes turning cold as he watched the leader of the Visken mercenaries disappear from sight.

"That despicable mercenary dares to threaten me."

"If I had enough Warrior under my command, you damned cold-blooded animals wouldn't even be worthy of serving me."

At the very moment he spoke, Per Koschelny of the 11th Chapter was leading his Fifth Company in an attack on the Xenos at the planet's second-largest Fortress.

The Xenos he encountered had green bodies like the Ork, but they were much thinner, though their mouths were somewhat similar in fangs.

The Xenos did not use any ranged weapons; they used wooden blades with four spear-shaped tips and bizarre large blades with sharp fangs at the end.

When encountering the Xenos, Per noticed Xenos they were using strange, knife-like weapons, leading him to conclude that they possessed considerable close-combat skills.

However, once the battle began, Per discovered that the Xenos were much weaker than he had anticipated.

They were listless and slow-moving, posing no threat to the Shadow of Order.

What Per felt threatened by them were only their extraordinary regenerative abilities and their capacity to spew acid.

However, as the light began to dim, the Xenos suddenly underwent a dramatic change.

Their lazy demeanor suddenly turned swift.

Per launched a swift slash at the Xenos using the seventh technique of the "Osberh-Vaya" method.

The Xenos's drowsy eyes suddenly widened. He raised his arm and held up his sword, the two spearheads blocking the Power Blade.

At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat acid at Per.

Per was startled. He cautiously withdrew and retreated, looking for another opportunity to attack.

The Visken people absorb energy from sunlight during the day and complete their metabolism.

As night falls, they become exceptionally strong and swift.

Two Visken mercenaries swiftly charged toward the Shadow of Order.

The Visken mercenary on the left swung his knife to block the Power Sword of the Shadow of Order, then suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of acid.

Acid sprayed onto the armor of the Shadow of Order, crackling and popping, the Power Armor dissolving at a visible speed.

The Visken mercenary on the right, who had deliberately lagged behind, now accelerated and charged forward.

Three spear tips pierced the exposed body of the Shadow of Order. The Visken mercenary grinned maliciously and drew his strange longsword.

The sudden surge in strength of the Visken mercenaries instantly resulted in the deaths of several people and serious injuries to more than a dozen others.
