Slaugth, You Can't Escape Even If You Want To
Wrapped in Shroud Cloak, Cody ran frantically among the rocks.
Inside the jar, which glowed with an eerie light, samples of blood and other substances, shimmered in the Shadow of Order.
Cody glanced back, the horrifying scene he had just witnessed flashing through his mind.
How could those black-armored Warrior have such fierce firepower?
They were probably Plasma Gun, but with only a hundred people, how could they unleash such power in an instant...?
It took Cody several seconds to find a word in his vocabulary to describe the scene he had witnessed.
[An attack like a falling, burning meteor!]
He gripped the Necrotic Staff tightly, and swarms of worms writhed within his Shroud Cloak.
I just wanted some tissue samples to study powerful constructs; I never expected to encounter such danger.
I am not truly immortal; even if I survived such an attack, I would be severely injured.
He thought angrily of the Bone-Eater brain had been vaporized.
What a bunch of useless trash! They're all useless!
I want to create even more powerful minions!
Without at least two, no, ten samurai constructs, I won't risk coming out again.
As a veteran infiltrator who had traversed hundreds of worlds, Cody calmed himself down and considered how to escape safely.
The terrain of the surrounding area flashed through his mind, and suddenly the worms on his face all trembled.
[Ocean!
The Shadow of Order are too busy fighting my worthless minions on land to notice the ocean.
Moreover, they were traveling in armored vehicles, which are not as agile as mine at sea.
Upon realizing this, Cody immediately calmed down, thinking smugly to himself.
[If I can just escape there, wait for them to leave, and then blend in with the rest of the human colony ships or transport vessels, I can escape safely.]
Cody knew that after the battle, human transport ships would bring reconstruction supplies.
There will also be immigrants to replenish the lost population.
By blending in with those ships, they can leave smoothly.
Cody made up his mind and immediately ran towards the sea.
The Land Raider Firestorm, don their "Warrior Mask" once more, gathering the power of their rage.
"My lord," the "Archaeologist" exclaimed excitedly, infusing the worm in his hand with Spirituality.
"They changed when the battle broke out just now..."
He stated definitively, "There's a Slaugth nearby."
Upon hearing this, Szczesny looked at the worm wriggling in his hand.
"They're wriggling faster, not obviously, but definitely a little faster," the "Archaeologist" explained to the lord, his hands gently stroking a clump of worms.
"Can you determine the target's location by observing their reactions?" Szczesny pressed.
The "Archaeologist" repeatedly and rapidly stroked the wriggling, viscous bodies with both hands, infusing them with Spirituality stimulation to carefully distinguish the subtle differences.
Suddenly, his hands stopped.
Szczesny stared at his hands; his right hand was at two o'clock in the direction he was moving forward, and his left hand was at eight o'clock.
The Archaeologist stated confidently, "Two o'clock."
Szczesny immediately marked the direction of advance, and the Land Raider Firestorm all turned around.
Amid the roar of the engines, Szczesny reviewed the tactical data regarding the direction of advance.
The moment he saw the Auger Matrix scan report, a mocking smile crept onto his face.
The Slaugth-kin want to escape into the sea.
The Tech Sergeant was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
"The Slaugth-kin never imagined that our Land Raider was a fish swimming in the sea."
The Land Raider can operate in almost any type of Star Ring, possessing a wide range of adaptability.
Its body completely isolates passengers from the environment and provides life support functions.
Therefore, the Land Raider can operate on uninhabitable and airless planets, as well as under the pressure of the ocean floor.
The Ninth Chapter's underwater adaptability was further enhanced by the presence of a large number of "Sailor" and "People of Fury".
The Firestorm type can not only propel itself on the seabed, but also turn flexibly in water.
Szczesny issued the order over the joint team channel of the Honor Guard and the 4th Company.
"Adjust weapon systems, switch to underwater mode."
Cody sprinted through the shadows, and to his astonishment, he discovered that the Shadow of Order seemed to be able to pinpoint his location, which filled him with suspicion.
I didn't sense any stupid Psyker trying to pinpoint my location; they'll definitely be found.
My Shroud Cloak can block the Auspex, and no Psyker was foolish enough to try. How did they pinpoint my location?
Cody for a long time, still unsure how the Shadow of Order had located him, and thought with a touch of relief.
Fortunately, I chose the ocean. As long as I escape into the sea, they can't do anything to me.
Even with their legs broken from all that heavy armor, they couldn't catch up with me.
Cohen thought to himself, took a long run-up, and plunged headfirst into the azure sea.
Clumps of worms swam leisurely in the sea.
After swimming two kilometers at a leisurely pace, Cohen suddenly felt something was amiss.
He felt as if struck by Lightning Strike, and turned around sharply to look.
The next instant, all the worms on his body stopped wriggling, and he stood frozen in his Primarch.
He saw rows of black tanks with propeller blades extending from their sides, and the energy ejected from their rear indicated that they were equipped with pump-jet propulsion systems.
Cohen saw hundreds of tanks spread out behind him like a swarm of bloodthirsty sharks, forming an encirclement.
Even more terrifying was that, between and in front of the tanks, one after another, the black-armored Warrior swarmed like a school of fish.
How is this possible?
What exactly are the Shadow of Order? They wear heavy armor, and why can they swim so fast?
Before Cohen could figure out what was happening, he suddenly felt the water around him surging rapidly, and in an instant, it abruptly formed an ocean current.
He snapped out of his daze, the worm thrashed about wildly, and turned to run away.
But it was too late for him; he was swept away by the ocean current, his body tumbling and rolling.
Cohen noticed that a person with golden wings on their back raised their palm and pointed it in his direction.
He can control water!
How foolish!
Having already mastered the ability to counter Psyker, Cohen was determined to teach them a painful lesson.
[Um?
It's not Psionic Energy!
How did he manipulate the seawater to create ocean currents?
As Cohen remained puzzled, the "Wind-blessed" moved its hands, spreading its Spirituality and stirring up ocean currents.
The "Wind-blessed" are still in the early stages of mastering the aerial domain, but their control over the ocean is further improving.
In water, the abilities of the "Wind-blessed" are enhanced in all aspects and significantly.
On land, Szczesny's Spirit Sight could not detect Slaugth.
But in the sea, Slaugth was as bright as a beacon; as soon as he entered the water, he saw swarms of wriggling worms.
Instead of immediately using "Water Control," he allowed Slaugth to venture deep into the ocean while simultaneously surrounding him with "Seafarer," "People of Fury," and "Sailor."
With a flick of his left hand, the "Wind-blessed" caused streams of water to instantly condense into claws.
The hands, formed from "water control," gripped the Shroud Cloak.
The "Wind-blessed" pulled back his arm, Shroud Cloak was forcibly ripped off Slaugth's body.
Cohen struggled to raise the Necrotic Staff amidst the rolling waves and point it at Szczesny.
"Wind-blessed" sneered, raised his right hand, and countless streams of water converged and slammed into Slaugth like cannonballs.
With a flick of his left hand, he tossed the Shroud Cloak behind him, and a "Sailor" reached out and grabbed the spoils.
"Wind-blessed" raised his hand again, and a jet of water shot up out of thin air, slamming into Slaugth's wrist.
A "People of Fury" twisted its body and grasped the Necrotic Staff.
Cohen felt a sudden emptiness; his Shroud Cloak had been ripped off.
A sharp pain shot through my left hand; the Necrotic Staff had been snatched away.
Damn it!
Cohen glanced at the black-armored, golden-winged Warrior in horror. His body instantly disintegrated, scattering into clumps of worms.
His body stretched to three times its own length, wriggling and leaping away from the ocean current like an arrow.
"Wind-blessed" smiled confidently. If they were on the ground, he really wouldn't have much of a way to deal with the Slaugth-kin. Concentrating his firepower to kill him was the limit of what he could do.
But this is the ocean, his home turf.
[Slaugth, you can't escape now.]
The "Wind-blessed" danced with both hands, and the layers of waves transformed into large nets.
Cohen was repeatedly pushed back by the waves, constantly changing shape, sometimes like an arrow, sometimes like a ball...
However, no matter how he changed his body, he was always confined to a range of 100 meters.
His speed of condensing his body became slower and slower, and the range of his physical transformations became smaller and smaller.
"You're a monster!"
Cohen let out a helpless cry of surprise.
The "Wind-blessed" used a water net to firmly wrap the spherical Slaugth, and then two "People of Fury" put him inside a crystal ball.
The Stasis Field was activated, leaving Cohen still bewildered and lost in thought.
