Nicholas led his trained 1,052 Storm-Bearer to the surface of the main planet Behentheim.

They all came from the second through Tenth Company. First Company Captain Jorginho and his lord Szczesny used the same training methods, a purer Warrior approach.

At the heart of the Storm-Bearer are eleven Librarian from the Ninth Chapter, responsible for relaying Nicholas's orders to the other Storm-Bearer.

Nicholas examined the target's location runes in his helmet and issued commands in the Storm-Bearer's channel.

"Today is the day to test the results of our training, and also your chance to earn prestige within the Chapter."

"For the Primarch, Purification the Xenos!"

"Storm-Bearer, let's go!"

The Storm-Bearer marched forward in orderly steps, their breathing gradually becoming calmer.

After their initial excitement subsided, they entered a meditative state, subsequently reaching the first level Mindset Thelema.

In their "True Will" state, they clearly understood their desire for glory and solidified the Storm-Bearer's creed:

Observe the trend of the storm.

During the attack, they unleash devastating firepower, sweeping away the enemy.

Unwavering in defense, standing firm in the storm.

After obtaining the readiness information through eleven Librarian, Nicholas focused on the tactical data displayed in his helmet.

After confirming that the enslaved army he encountered had no human identification signals and was from another race enslaved by Rangdan, he immediately issued orders.

"Storm Mask!"

"Fire!"

The moment he gave the order, the Librarian relayed it to the Storm-Bearer's minds even faster than through communication channels.

The wind rises.

The Storm-Bearer, donning their "Storm Masks," raise their Bedrock-pattern Bolter.

Their arms moved with extraordinary speed, pulling the triggers.

In the blink of an eye, the Bedrock-pattern Bolter equipped with the Hunter Module emptied their first magazines.

The torn flesh and blood were rolled together, as if swept up by a tornado.

The Storm-Bearer were unerring in their attacks, and not a single bomb hit the same target twice.

The rapid firing caused the Shadow of Order's arms to tremble slightly; their hearts pumped powerfully, and the surge of adrenaline made their movements even faster.

After rapidly changing magazines, they waited for the enemy to come within optimal firing range.

Hundreds of thousands of Xenos slaves charged toward the Storm-Bearer's lines, but they could not match the efficiency of their slaughter.

The Storm-Bearer advanced with composure, receiving supplies time and again from the Rhino Armored Transport Ammunition Vehicles produced by Firestorm Star.

Again and again, the cycle of firing, advancing, and engaging the enemy continued.

The power unleashed by the "Storm Mask" could not be released or satisfied, causing some Storm-Bearer to become restless.

One of the Librarian was the first to notice that his Storm-Bearer had broken away from the ranks; he was two steps ahead of his fellow Shadow of Order.

"Entering the second level of Mindset."

To become Storm-Bearer, in addition to mastering the "Storm Mask," one must reach at least the second level of the Thelema Mindset, while the captain must reach the third level.

One Storm-Bearer after another ascended to the second level of the Thelema Mindset.

Nicholas's gaze was deep, and his dark pupils suddenly widened.

Through a "Warp Vision," he saw the storm brewing around the Storm-Bearer.

Nicholas nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the result he wanted.

The whites of his eyes became visible again as he looked at the enemy that had appeared ahead.

The time has come to unleash the storm.

"Attack!"

The Storm-Bearer were released in an instant.

Ten magazines were emptied in a matter of breaths, and even the sturdy and durable Bedrock-pattern Bolter suffered overheating due to high-speed movement and firing.

In its frenzied state, the Machine Spirit issued a dangerous warning.

A firestorm engulfed the Xenos army's lines, and one by one, the Rangdan Xenos were torn to pieces in terror.

The Overlord felt their personal energy shields being constantly shaken by the waves of attacks, leaving them utterly astonished.

"Librarian, the Overlord are now in your hands."

With a thought, Nicholas activated thousands of metal plates made of top-quality Leijin Alloy via Conductive Filaments connected to the neurocortex.

Hinged Frame connected by Micro-fiber Bundle drives the wings to open.

A whirlwind surged within the "Wind-blessed," and he immediately spread his wings and took flight.

With his armored wings spread, he whistled as he flew toward the Brain-Eaters.

Eleven Librarian exited the Thelema Mindset and entered the fifth level of the Magnus Mindset.

Psychic Lightning and flames surged, accompanied by bursts of explosions, shattering the energy shields of dozens of Overlord one by one.

"Storm!"

The Storm-Bearer unleashed another torrent of fire, tearing the Overlord's bodies apart.

Nicholas flew to the Brain-Eaters in an instant. He saw the dangerous light flashing in the red line piercing through the head and felt the numbness caused by the Neurotoxin invading the brain.

Although it hasn't had a substantial impact on him yet, he knows he must deal with the Brain-Eaters as soon as possible.

Nicholas raised his staff, his eyes flashing with electricity, and the "Storm Mask" unleashed the pent-up Psionic Energy power.

After becoming a "Wind-blessed", his Storm Discipline Psionic Energy was further stimulated.

The Librarian alone created the hurricane.

The thousands of Xenos surrounding the Brain-Eaters were swept up by the gale, and the personal energy shields of the Overlord rattled loudly.

The "Wind-blessed" gracefully swooped and glided, imitating the Black Emperor, its painted gold wings unfurled, their sharp edges sweeping past the Xenos.

A blue light flashed, and the force field crackled with energy.

Flesh and blood scattered, mercilessly torn apart.

The Brain-Eaters raised his bent arm, resisting the surging force pulling him, and he saw the hurricane above his head rapidly turn Blood Red.

The "Wind-blessed" shook his staff, and the gale suddenly spun in the opposite direction.

The Brain-Eaters was caught off guard and swept up by the whirlwind.

The Librarian shook its staff, and a compressed hurricane roared as it crashed into the Brain-Eaters.

A series of explosions pierced the howling wind and resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The Brain-Eaters let out a terrified cry, knowing that it had no chance of fighting back in the air.

Before the Brain-Eaters could even move its bent tentacles, the wind direction suddenly reversed again.

His body swayed, and he fell down again.

Nicholas skillfully maneuvered the storm, constantly changing its direction and intensity, using a series of storm attacks to Weakening the energy shield.

He stared as the Xenos were torn apart one by one. Even Rangdan's Overlord could not withstand the Psionic Energy storm for long. He looked at the struggling Brain-Eaters and thought to himself.

Storms are my home turf.

Once you get involved, you'll have no chance.

After stumbling and tumbling through the air for a while, the Brain-Eaters was horrified to discover that his energy shield had shattered.

He realized he had to kill Nicholas. A crimson light surged forth, and Psionic Energy enveloped his body, temporarily freeing him from the shackles of the raging wind.

The Brain-Eaters wielded its Crystal Longsword, slashing at the Shadow of Order.

With a clang, Nicholas folded his golden wings to block the crystal sword.

Taking advantage of the moment the force field deflected the attack, Nicholas roared and transformed into "The People of Fury".

His arm shot up like a cannonball, slamming into the Brain-Eaters's head in an instant.

The Brain-Eaters felt with horror that the black-armored Warrior's fist was a storm.

With a loud bang, the "Brain-Eaters's" spherical head shattered.
