Slaugth's Obsidian Disc Ship.

Thierry Viera looked into the dimly lit depths of the passage, where five Brain-Eaters surrounded a figure wrapped in a gray cloak.

Under the hood, clumps of worms wriggled wildly.

Prosecutor Slaugth raised the Necrotic Staff in his hand, a disgusting light flashed, and then arcs of electricity accompanied by eerie light shot towards Thierry.

"Weapon Master" had already taken the lead and launched a swift charge.

Necrotic rays shot across the Obsidian deck, and the guards following the Knight Lord's charge saw a large hole left in the deck.

A weapon that blurs the lines between mechanical and organic matter, its foamy, viscous substance crackling like a disgusting surge of bodily fluids.

The Shadow of Order swiftly circled around from both sides, the putrid slime making them feel nauseous.

Then came anger.

The "War Mask" channeled their anger into power, their speed suddenly increasing, breaking the numbness caused by the Neurotoxin, and colliding with Slaugth's servants in an instant.

A "Brawler" raised his sword horizontally to meet the falling Crystal Longsword.

The explosion sent him staggering back two steps.

The Brain-Eaters's tentacles lashed out at another guard, sending the "Brawler" tumbling through the air before crashing to the ground.

An invisible force surged from the "Brawler's " exceptionally strong body, and the Telekinesis that resonated around him quickly dissipated.

After rolling twice, the "Brawler" regained control of his body, and with a powerful push from his legs, he plummeted downwards.

With a bang, the "Brawler" crushed the psychic cage that bound him and landed calmly on the ground.

At the same time, another real "Brawler" suddenly appeared in front of the Brain-Eaters, swinging his sword from right to left.

Amidst a flash of energy, he clenched his fist and slammed the Power Fist into the Brain-Eaters's abdomen.

As the Brain-Eaters was shaken backward, a black figure rose into the air.

The "Brawler" wielded his Force Sword, channeling all his power into a downward, tilted slash from left to right.

Accompanied by a dazzling Psionic Energy light, the sword cleaved the Brain-Eaters's entire torso in two diagonally.

The guards worked in perfect coordination. The strongest and most skilled in defense were responsible for the frontal assault, while the strongest attacked fiercely, severely injuring the Brain-Eaters. Finally, the most perceptive swordsman seized the opportunity to finish it off.

The Brawler's body withstood the Psionic Energy attack.

The "War Mask" instilled in them a strong will, enabling them to resist Neurotoxin.

In the blink of an eye, the five Brain-Eaters were killed by the guards.

They surrounded their lord and built a solid wall around him.

Within the walls, amidst the swarm of worms, the glowing Parasitic Eye allowed him to see everything in the dimly lit passageways.

The passageway, the Shadow of Order, everything transformed into Distortion electromagnetic waves and light.

The Overseer's electromagnetic spectrum vision allowed him to see, from a supernatural perspective, the energy waves shimmering on the Power Sword and the supernatural fluctuations emanating from the Force Sword...

He suddenly raised his arm, and an invisible shockwave swept around.

The individual energy shields of the Shadow of Order members crackled and popped, causing them to tremble as if struck by Lightning Strike.

The hand gripping the Force Sword felt as if it were holding a scorching hot iron.

Thierry sheathed his Force Sword and loudly issued commands through the helmet's built-in Communicator.

"Deactivate personal energy shield, sheath Force Sword."

The brilliance of the Force Sword quickly dissipated, and the Shadow of Order, wielding their Power Sword, stood ready for battle.

Thierry held Power Sword wreathed in blue light. This sword, forged by Vulkan, was wider and thicker, with a blade one and a half times the length of a normal sword.

Other Shadow of Order who obtain similar longswords will wield such weapons with both hands.

However, the "Weapon Master" can wield it with ease even when holding it in one hand.

The "Weapon Master" brandished his longsword and swiftly charged toward Slaugth.

The worms writhed and twisted, and the Necrotic Staff swung up.

On the curved, claw-like branches of the scepter, evil runes exuded an eerie, chilling aura.

Spit! Spit! Spit!

The malevolent, eerie force field collided with the Disruption Field, producing a strange friction sound.

At the same time, Slaugth's left arm instantly extended, lunging towards Thierry's waist like a giant python.

Thierry was prepared; he rolled to the left to avoid the tentacles, while simultaneously punching Slaugth in the head.

With a sound like a balloon bursting, a large clump of worms was scattered and fell.

The Parasitic Eye tumbled in the air, its surface flashing with a strange light.

The worms tumbled and rolled in the air, coalescing into a ball before suddenly springing up, enveloping the Parasitic Eye, and merging into the right arm.

The Necrotic Staff suddenly extended and slammed down on Thierry.

The moment "Weapon Master" landed, he immediately bounced up, dodging the scepter's attack.

He rolled and swung his longsword, slashing at Slaugth.

With a ripping sound, the Disruption Field tore through the Shroud Cloak and swept across a swarm of worms.

The worms scattered as if startled, then clumped together again.

The "Weapon Master" wielded his sword, mastering its edge, and with extraordinary swordsmanship, left numerous sword wounds on Slaugth's body in an instant.

Slaugth was writhing like worms all over his body; he had never been so disheveled since he was promoted to Inspector.

He thought that after unleashing the attack and scattering the "Shadow of Order" fleet, he could then maneuver his ships and leave at his leisure.

Unexpectedly, the enemy actually broke into the ship and was so difficult to deal with.

If he delays any longer and other ships surround him, it will be difficult for him to escape, and he will lose a lot of assets.

The swarm of worms belonging to Slaugth Inquisitor wriggled wildly, and the vocal apparatus encased within them extended outwards.

The uneven metal spheres translated the sticky, rubbing sounds of the Slaugth-kin into Rangdan's language.

"Murderous minds, I command you to immediately kill the Shadow of Order."

The Xenos surging from the depths of the ship immediately launched a frenzied attack on the Shadow of Order.

Unlike their usual composure as they remained behind the lines, observing from the sidelines, the Overlord roared as they charged toward the Xenos.

A dozen or so Xenos raised their crab-shaped pincers, spewing out Melta from their gray-green Psychic Flame like Flamer.

The "Brawler" charged forward, determined not to allow the Xenos to disturb their lord.

The molten lava crashed into the sheer, Web Shield, and most of it was deflected and hurled towards the Obsidian walls on either side, crackling and burning them black.

The Brawler kept moving, with sparks flickering around their black Power Armor.

They suddenly appeared in front of the Xenos and swung their swords at the crab's claws.

Wave after wave of Xenos attacks pounded against the "Brawler '" rocky defenses, only to be destroyed time and again.

Despite suppressing Slaugth, Thierry frowned. He hadn't inflicted any real damage on his opponent; his only achievement was destroying a large section of the necrotic cloak.

He recalled the Black Emperor's words: his only chance of victory was to stuff a Slaugth's body.

The "Weapon Master" pulled a grenade from his waist with his left hand, staring at Slaugth, looking for an opportunity.

The sword spun rapidly, accompanied by a series of impacts, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Slaugth's necrotic cloak shrank inwards, his upper body swelled, and a worm-like mass crashed into the Obsidian ceiling.

The Parasitic Eye coldly locked onto the black-armored Warrior below, then pounced down like a giant python hunting its prey.

As the "Weapon Master" turned to the side, he swung his Power Sword, the blade acting like a rein, missing the Necrotic Staff and applying force from the opposite direction.

The Gekuafu Style propelled Slaugth forward with inertia, and before he could react, the blade sliced through his body.

The Disruption Field hissed as it sliced open his abdomen, scattering worms everywhere.

Thierry took the opportunity to pull the pin and throw the Armor-Piercing Grenade into Slaugth's body.

The worms writhed and surged, then exploded with a loud bang, scattering the worms with a crackling sound.

Thierry stepped back; he could see clearly that the grenade had not detonated inside Slaugth's body.

A worm-like mass of flesh burrowed inward, encasing the grenade, and he narrowly escaped the attack, suffering some injuries in the process.

Slaugth's vitality is too tenacious; he is almost immortal.

As my lord said, even destroying him with a grenade would be a result I could only achieve by giving it my all.

As Thierry pondered, a familiar, authoritative voice suddenly rang out behind him.

The voice came in Dunnish and came from Howard Fender.

"Expansion and Contraction are prohibited in this area!"

The "Judge" raised his hand and pushed forward, speaking authoritatively.

Slaugth Inquisitor let out a sneer through his microphone, his malevolent intent spreading outwards.

The next instant, his body trembled violently.

The inspector cried out in alarm, horrified to discover that his Psionic Energy countermeasures were completely ineffective.

How is this possible?

Um?]

The inspector suddenly realized that his arbitrarily wriggling and sculpted body was unresponsive.

The worms are bound to a certain area by some invisible force, and the shape of each clump of worms is exactly the same as before.

He tried desperately to break free of the invisible constraints, but the worm grew slower and slower.

[Damn it! I used up too much power earlier!]

He looked on in horror, raised his arm, and aimed it at the Shadow of Order.

Slaugth Inquisitor heard the other party speak in a stern tone, in a language he couldn't understand at all, as a thick, transparent liquid flowed and tightly enveloped his body.

Layer upon layer of walls tightly encased the worms.

Slaugth Inquisitor froze, thinking with a mixture of horror and bewilderment.

I've been Imprisonment.

I've been Imprisonment.

Thierry gazed at Slaugth, who was encased in a huge piece of amber, and spoke to Howard, who had come to his side.

"As my lord has said, it is much easier for you to deal with him than for me."

"No," Howard shook his head and said, "Without you expending his power beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to 'Imprisonment' him so easily."

Judging from the fact that the worms could still move within a certain range, his "ban" could only suppress the inspectors at their peak, but could not completely restrict them.

He must weaken the opponent to a certain extent before he can defeat them.
