Void Claws and The Emperor's Private Armory, Who is the Eater

The Bone Killer

Pulheim Sector, Pulheim Prime.

William Wood pulled out a Monarch Coin, and the Clown's gaze immediately focused on it, his eyes quickly darkening as he silently recited in Dunnish:

"Now is the right time to go to the battlefield of the Psy-Titan and Bone-Eater, now is the right time to go to the battlefield of the Psy-Titan and Bone-Eater..."

After silently reciting it eleven times, "Clown" flicked the Monarch Coin upwards and then extended his gauntlet horizontally.

*Snap! Monarch Coin fell, landing steadily in his palm.

The profile picture is facing upwards.

This shows the operation went smoothly.

After interpreting the "Clown" message, he stepped on the gas, Land Speeder roared off.

Suddenly, William felt a void ahead and slammed on the brakes.

The momentum propelled his body forward, and blood rushed to his head.

"The Clown" raised his hand and pressed a button on the motorcycle, his body rising lightly and landing steadily on the handlebars of the single-person Land Speeder.

Anyone who witnessed this scene would be speechless; the black-armored giant was standing steadily on the handle.

Psyker might assume they rely on Telekinesis Psyker, but William didn't delve into that aspect; he relied on the abilities his father bestowed upon him.

William's face was pale; the presence of the Pariah made him uncomfortable.

He then adjusted to carry out the mission, using the high-powered holographic camera embedded in his helmet to calm his nausea and vomiting.

He then activated his Spirit Sight to observe the Psy-Titan ahead.

William received orders from his lord; he had two tasks to perform.

One of the tasks was to observe the Psy-Titan being deployed to the battlefield for the first time.

A shadow like a black hole, two pale, Affliction souls.

William frowned slightly; as Psyker, he harbored a deep aversion to Psy-Titan.

This awakened vague memories of his Shadow of Order, of Gardinal's caste enslavement.

The Order of the Omen is the Emperor's private arsenal; he has sealed off all information about the Psy-Titan, even from the Primarch in the War Council and the Mars Fabricator-General.

However, the "Shadow of Order" Archives contains information left by the father, which can be viewed by anyone from the Royal Court Baron and above.

Although William was not Baron, he was temporarily granted authority due to this mission.

He knew that the Psyker on the Psy-Titan were not the pilots of ordinary Titan; they were fuel, they were weapons.

They were never treated as human beings.

The red glow that symbolized their good health was almost completely obscured by black and gray.

They are manipulated and driven by the Pariah.

[As my father said, "Spirit-Driving Titan" is a more fitting name.]

William deactivated his Spirit Sight and calmed himself for a moment before beginning to observe the Psy-Titan's appearance.

The built-in scanning system shows that its height is 25.21 meters.

[Reaver -class]

As William pondered, the three Reaver -class Psy-Titan suddenly accelerated.

William recalled the records in the Archives: the Psy-Titan were extremely fast, far exceeding the speed of other Titan of the same class.

He quickly swayed and landed back in his seat.

As the engine started, he leaped down the hillside, and at the same time saw ahead, the Bone-Eater, towering like giant trees.

Five.

As he determined the number of both sides, he activated his Spirit Sight once more.

The Psyker bound by the crystal box were driven to burn.

As Psionic Energy was released, boundless hatred and agonizing Affliction manifested, black mist drifted for kilometers around, and frost covered the ground.

Six Psy-Titan's Annihilator Cannon blasted at a Bone-Eater, tearing a Warp rift like Vortex Weapon.

Amidst a piercing screech, the restless Warp energy instantly tore apart the personal energy shield enveloping the Bone-Eater.

The ominous, swirling black hole swept up the surrounding ruins ravaged by war before fading away with a final, unwilling howl.

Also vanished were the Bone-Eater and the long, terrified howls.

William was pale, but he kept his eyes fixed on the battlefield. The mission given to him by the Chapter Master stemmed from his father's orders.

A barrage of beams of light simultaneously struck the Psy-Titan, with the four Bone-Eater concentrating their firepower on the Titan in the center of the triangular formation.

Bang bang bang...

The Reaver- class Psy-Titan were running at breakneck speed, their burst of speed even exceeding that of the Warhound-class Titan.

A rustling sound came from above the Bone-Eater's heads, and the light instantly shattered into needle-like points.

With a buzzing explosion, the Void Shield of the central Reaver -type Psy-Titan was instantly shattered.

Amidst the rustling sound, the needle-like points coalesced into blinding beams of light, whistling as they slammed into the body of the Psy-Titan.

A dim light suddenly appeared, and only Psyker with Aetheric Sight could perceive the fleeting glimmer.

The shattered armor was rewoven, and the damaged machine was instantly restored to its original condition.

At the same time, the Psyker's shrill screams echoed in the minds of William and the rapidly approaching Xenos.

William instantly ascended to the Third Mindset Thelema's mental state, and the terrifying howl gradually subsided.

In the Clown's Spirit Sight, the six dim bodies trapped within the Titan grew even paler.

William knew that they had been exploited for years to sustain the cages that Imprisonment them.

With the four terrifying howls concluded, all the Bone-Eater perished, and the red aura representing health on the two central Titan Psyker in the Spirit Sight almost vanished.

They are going to die.

As William pondered this, he suddenly felt the ground tremble violently.

He looked up and saw a vast forest of giant trees stretching out before him.

Fourteen Bone-Eater.

William decided to immediately carry out the second task. He looked around and selected a rugged and narrow mountain path.

He changed direction and headed towards the Bone-Eater closest to the escape route.

The Bone-Eater ignored the "little things" on the ground and launched a frenzied attack on the Psy-Titan.

William noted that the Psy-Titan had greater offensive and regenerative capabilities, but at the cost of burning Psyker.

The Bone-Eater have less firepower and individual energy shields than the Psy-Titan, but they are more numerous.

Having burned through most of its life force, the crew was no longer able to repair its machine, and its speed had slowed down. Driven by the Pariah, it unleashed its last glimmer of light upon the enemy.

As the Bone-Eater collapsed like mountains, two Affliction howls rang out.

The Reaver Psy-Titan's reactor exploded, blinding the Xenos's vision, and the energy shockwave tore apart a Bone-Eater.

Gravel pelted the Land Speeder, causing its black body to shake.

The Clown veered to the right in the direction of the shockwave, raising his arm as he did so.

With a short, loud bang, five throwing knives, the exquisite weapon crafted by Vulkan to hone his skills, shot out.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The throwing knife struck the Bone-Eater, who had lost his personal energy shield, and the blue force field hissed as it tore apart piece after piece of green.

The Bone-Eater let out an Affliction cry; the damage he suffered far exceeded the impact of the five throwing knives.

With a rustling sound, he turned his arm and aimed it at the wretched "little thing" on the ground.

Rays of light shot out and flew toward the Land Speeder.

As "The Clown" raised his hand to attack, he deftly twisted his right hand, Land Speeder changed direction in a beautiful, perfect turn amidst the shockwaves and sand.

"Clown" stepped on the gas, Land Speeder's exhaust flames boomed like fireworks.

At the same time, he raised his left arm, and five throwing knives shot out, only to return to their original positions.

Vulkan used a technology that allowed the thrown knives to return automatically.

Unlike the Dionysian Spear of Dionysus the Emperor gifted to his father, which would automatically return no matter where it was thrown, it was not.

William preferred to compare it to the recorded Aeldari weapons— the Singing Spear and the Witchblade —which were both limited to certain ranges.

Unlike the others, the throwing knives crafted by Vulkan are automatic and require no Psionic Energy guidance.

The Clown didn't need to turn around; the beams of light shooting towards him formed images in his mind.

Relying on his "intuitive premonition," he can anticipate the Brain-Eaters's next attack.

Dozens of beams of light failed to hit the despicable enemy.

The Bone-Eater charged forward, its head rustling, and the beam of light instantly shattered into needle-like points.

The "Clown" felt like he was being pricked by needles, and suddenly turned to the side while pulling the handle.

The Land Speeder nearly crashed into the cliff face, its beams crackling as most of the debris struck the cliff wall.

The "Clown" felt a dozen beams of light strike his back.

He braced himself with his hand, his body instantly springing up and spinning in the air, dodging the specks of light.

The "Clown" flipped and landed, immediately finding his balance.

Without any buffer, he twisted the handle directly, and the Land Speeder spun sharply.

William was like a "Clown" at a banquet in Terra's court, leaping and dodging on a "tightrope."

The Bone-Eater trudged clumsily through the mountain path, its light overwhelming and causing countless rocks to tumble down. It missed its target but instead blocked its own path.

As William somersaulted six times in the air, he activated his Communicator and sent the location rune of the canyon to the Tech Sergeant.

After landing on the Land Speeder, he felt the light fade. He took out a coin and silently prayed.

"The Void Claws experiment is dangerous..."

After eleven attempts, he flicked the coin, and upon seeing the number, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Numbers represent negation and indicate no danger.

Outside the canyon exit, the Tech Sergeant received the signal.

He felt honored to be called an "Archaeologist".

Humanity's ancient Doomsday Weapon, an experimental weapon, will be used in actual combat for the first time under his control.

His hands moved swiftly, and the 25-kilometer range was quickly confined to a 3-kilometer diameter.

Auspex, energy telemetry system...

The runes jumped across the video screen, eventually turning into two signals, one large and one small.

"Archaeologist" pressed hard on the runes on the panel while speaking into the communication channel.

"William, twelve seconds to launch."

"I suggest you immediately ramp up the engine to maximum power."

"Countdown begins, twelve..."

The "Archaeologist" rested his hand on the control lever, his eyes fixed on the screen, where runes had been categorized and marked in red and black.

The black rune flew rapidly away from the red rune.

"One, zero."

The Tech Sergeant pulled the control lever sharply, causing the entire black box to tremble briefly.

The reactor's blinding light engulfed the entire black enclosure, slamming the heat waves that would melt an ordinary person onto the Tech Sergeant.

Amidst a flurry of flashing runes, a three-meter-long Iron Hands appeared on the outer top of the box, its fist outstretched.

A black beam of light shot out, reaching the top of the Bone-Eater four kilometers away.

A black hole that devours all light is formed.

Time seemed to stand still as the enormous Bone-Eater and the surrounding rocks within a kilometer radius were swept up by an invisible force.

The energy shockwave slammed into the Land Speeder, sending the vessel spinning and flying.

The "Clown" continued to twist his body and swing the handle.

The Land Speeder hovered in mid-air. "The Clown" looked up and saw that the Bone-Eater had vanished.

William pondered for a few seconds, thinking to himself.

Both the Psy-Titan and the miniaturized Void Claws are killers of the Bone-Eater.

The Psy-Titan are more agile and attack faster, but they consume Psyker and Pariah.

The Void Claws has a longer preparation time and attack interval, making its use cases more limited.
