Shluo, Who Made Alpharius Unable to Fight Back

That's all there is to it.

Zo Sahar, the company commander of the Eighth Legion, seemed to have returned to his childhood.

When he was in Terra prison, he would cautiously huddle in the corner of his cell.

At that time, his only joy was in his half-awake state, sketching out the figure of Lord Nimrod based on other people's descriptions.

He was clad in black armor and followed Nimrod's retreating figure as he charged towards the Xenos.

Just like now.

Following his fighting instincts and exceeding his meticulous calculations, Zo Sahar, the Chapter Master the Ultramarines First Chapter, Glenn Worsotto, fired explosives at the Xenos from behind cover.

The wind howled as he swung his Lightning Claw, colliding with the construct's metal tendrils.

The surge of adrenaline caused his pale skin to flush slightly, and Claw Master suddenly lunged forward.

He leaped up like Raptors, heading towards the gaping maw of sharp teeth that suddenly opened within the structure.

A dazzling field of electric light tore apart the construct's sharp fangs and gaping maw together.

I must catch up with Lord Nimrod.

The instant Zo Sahar landed, he charged forward.

Ulian Bendregg parried the tentacle's bony blades with his sword, the piercing screech drowned out by the rushing wind.

He saw the Mark III Iron Pattern Power Armor, a Blood Red on the left shoulder of the Sons of the Scarlet, a skull, and black wings.

[Claw Master really that strong?]

Zo Sahar saw two disgusting Xenos, who were nearly three meters tall.

He had two arms, and it seemed that he also had two legs under his black hooded robe.

His hands were completely covered in maggots, one hand tightly gripping a Corrosion scepter, and where the human face was, there was only a bunch of writhing worms.

Two Purple figures each charged towards a Slaugth-kin.

Lucius, wielding a single sword, charged toward the Slaugth-kin, the scene of Lord Akurduana being instantly defeated flashing through his mind.

The "Brawler" gripped his longsword tightly with both hands and rammed into the scepter enveloped in emerald energy.

The moment they clashed, the "Brawler" was forced to retreat several steps.

The "Brawler" was not afraid but rather pleased. Lord Nimrod had said that the strength of Slaugth varied, and the opponents he encountered were still within his capabilities.

The "Brawler" switched to wielding his sword in one hand and charged at Slaugth.

"Your time has come, you lump of flesh." The Slaugth Overseer's speech machine uttered broken but recognizable Low Gothic, a hissing sound like it was filled with slimy, rotting flesh. "I will enjoy your flesh and blood."

The emerald energy flashed once more, accompanied by a hissing sound, and the necrotic beam passed over the spot where Lucius had just stood, turning a section of the wall into dust within its beam.

The "Brawler" darted left and right, leaping and rolling, and in an instant arrived in front of Slaugth.

A piercing clang rang out as the scepter blocked the ornate sword blade.

"Meat chunks, stupid."

The swarm of worms lunged at the "Brawler," the necrotic solution crackling and melting the Power Armor in an instant.

Just as the Slaugth Overseer was about to enjoy the uncorrupted, unpalatable piece of meat, he suddenly discovered that the meat's body had not been torn.

The "Brawler's" body weakened the effects of the supernatural force, and he slammed his clenched fist into the Slaugth-kin's head.

With a thud, the worms fell to the ground.

A perfect smile appeared on Lucius's handsome face.

[A punch to the head, surprisingly satisfying!]

As Lucius pondered, he saw two golden beams of light fall from the sky, enveloping the Slaugth-kin in amber.

Lord Nimrod.

I offer my Lord what he desires, and he will surely be pleased.

Perhaps, I will soon receive the next gift of power.

But... I don't think I've fully mastered the power of a "Brawler" yet; I still prefer using a sword.

As Lucius pondered, he couldn't help but glance at the other "Brawler".

Lord Akurduana's reforged armor has removed the excessive gold decorations that distinguish it from those of the Emperor's Children.

If Lord Nimrod forbade it, he and Akurduana would have inscribed patterns such as the crown and wings of the Shadow of Order on their armor.

Akurduana's Purple armor was intact, and Athena was still reforging it. He held Timur in his right hand, and a dozen maggots fell to his left fist with a crackling sound.

Lord Akurduana is still stronger than me.

Whether in the past or as a "Brawler".]

Lucius clenched his fist and charged toward the next Slaugth.

As Zo Sahar passed by Akurduana and Lucius, he saw two golden lights descending from the sky and quickened his pace.

Then he saw Luther, who was as tall and strong as Astartes, and roared.

Zo Sahar's ears were ringing, and he paused in his tracks.

He stared blankly at Luther, who charged at the Slaugth-kin like Space Wolves or War Hounds.

With a bang, he knocked a standing Slaugth-kin apart.

Golden light fell from the sky, Luther, without stopping, crashed into another Slaugth-kin.

But the Slaugth-kin was not as still as the previous one; he moved swiftly, wielding his long staff.

Just as Zo Sahar regained his mobility, he heard a loud bang.

His superhuman senses allowed him to perceive the power of the attack.

[Luther is so powerful.]

The "Barbarian" felt the surging power within him, and he let out an excited "Wild Howl" as he swung his sword.

The evil will of the Slaugth Destroyer faltered slightly, but quickly recovered, and he let out an angry, wicked howl.

The "Barbarian's" thoughts faltered, and his eyes lost focus.

Immediately, the "Barbarian's " exceptional mental strength brought him to his senses, and he saw Slaugth's staff-wielding arm rapidly retract.

His other arm suddenly grew larger and slapped towards his chest.

The "Barbarian" was sent flying, the slime melting his black terracotta armor, and his powerful body crackled and popped.

The Slaugth Destroyer raised his staff, which shone with emerald light. Just as he was about to point it at the chunk of flesh, a greatsword that shone with the Dawn Light swept towards him.

Zoe Sahar could see clearly that Thierry Viera sheathed his twin swords back at his waist, and as he raised his hand, a gleaming two-handed greatsword materialized out of thin air.

The "Dawn Knight" wielded the "Sword of Dawn," each attack accompanied by a Purification effect.

Large clumps of worms fell with a crackling sound, already charred black by the time they hit the ground.

A golden light descended from the sky, and Amber sealed the wounded Slaugth Destroyer inside.

Luther, now free, looked at Thierry with envy.

He must have received even more power from our Lord. I must strive diligently, remain loyal to our Lord, and receive even more blessings in return.

As he pondered, he suddenly saw a dozen or so Slaugth-kin rushing towards Thierry, and he quickly spoke up to warn them.

"Careful."

The "Dawn Knight" calmly plunged the "Sword of Dawn" into the ground in front of him.

The giant sword then disintegrated, turning into fragments of light like the first Dawn.

Countless, densely packed fragments formed a shimmering, violent, and sharp hurricane that swept across the surroundings.

The terrifying, destructive strike of "Light Storm" engulfed all of the dozen or so Slaugth Destroyer.

The bodies of the Slaugth Destroyer disintegrated instantly, and clumps of worms were torn to shreds.

The "Dawn Knight" desperately manipulated the "Light Storm" to its center, and the four Slaugth Destroyer, along with the slime inside their bodies, were instantly torn apart by the overwhelming fragments of light, and their evil will was Purification along with them.

The "Dawn Knight" felt a significant depletion of his Spirituality and knew that he would not be able to condense the "Sword of Dawn" again in the short term.

He calmly drew his twin swords from his waist, looked at the scattered golden light, and wrapped the offering he was giving to the Black Emperor.

Zo Sahar passed through a series of amber cells and finally saw Nimrod's figure.

He was about to rush forward and join the adults in battle.

Suddenly, a Slaugth-kin wrapped in a cloak emerged from the shadows, skimming along the ground.

Claw Master swung his arms angrily, his Lightning Claw screeching as they slammed into the scepter enveloped in emerald energy.

With a crisp clang, the force field shattered, and the lightning claws snapped.

Zo Sahar's eyes were filled with astonishment; the Slaugth-kin they were fighting were actually incredibly strong.

Zo Sahar was thrown into the air, and he saw the Xenos's strange weapon aimed at him.

He knew that evil energy could penetrate his Power Armor.

Zo Sahar sighed regretfully, then suddenly a silvery-white light shone in his eyes.

He stared wide-eyed at Lord Nimrod before him, the sword swirling and piercing the Slaugth-kin's body.

Lord Nimrod raised his left arm again, Power Fist flashed with light, binding the Slaugth-kin in the amber prison.

The Blood-colored Necklace wrapped around Nimrod's right little finger shimmered with light as his Spirituality rapidly recovered.

He used "Imprisonment" to gain a total of fifty-two Slaugth.

Nimrod sensed a return to his Spirituality and turned his gaze toward Slaugth, who was approaching.

Even while maintaining the third level of Thelema Mindset, he could still sense a powerful and evil will.

Nimrod raised his arms, simultaneously unleashing the twin-barreled Bolter and the Plasma Gun crafted by Perturabo, and roared.

The explosions roared, and plasma beams flashed.

Two maggots landed, and the wound healed instantly.

Nimrod flapped his golden wings, and Slaugth moved accordingly.

The "Baron of Corruption" bulged his left arm, twisted his waist and back, and swung his arm, unleashing a punch that resembled a cannonball.

Rumble!

The clanging of fists and canes produced a loud bang that caused a slight pain in the ears of the Astartes.

The result was decided in an instant upon impact; the scepter propelled Slaugth backward.

[Sloth, who knocked Alpharius's Pale Spear Slaugth down with a single blow, is not all that powerful.]

The "Baron of Corruption" took a step and stood before Slaugth.

Slaugth dared not confront the black-armored giant head-on any longer; as maggots wriggled, his arm instantly swelled up.

The "Baron of Corruption's " eyes flashed, Slaugth's arm suddenly veered off course, the Necrotic Staff that was originally aimed at Nimrod's side smashing into his abdomen instead.

[Huh?] The "Baron of Corruption" was originally "Distortion," causing the attacking arm to tighten.

The powerful Slaugth was not fully driven by his Beyonder Ability; rather, his direction was "Distortion."

The "Baron of Corruption" flicked his wrist, the tip of his sword pointing at the scepter.

Slaugth felt his arm slip out of control, and seeing the sword tip thrusting towards him, he dared not take it head-on. The worms on his body trembled, and the scepter suddenly contracted.

Then, he saw the gleaming gauntlets rise up and quickly retreated.

Slaugth then saw that the boxing gloves hit the ground, but strangely, they made no sound.

Just as he was wondering what was going on, it suddenly flew forward at high speed.

With a single punch, the "Baron of Corruption" channeled his burst of Spirituality into the earth, outlining a circle.

As he stood up, the "Geometry" shape guided by his Spirituality was swiftly dragged to his front.

A dazzling blue and white light erupted instantly, and Slaugth hurriedly blocked it.

Amidst the deafening crash, Slaugth felt an intense discomfort, as if he had lost control of his body, his worm-like arms constantly slipping away.

What puzzled him even more was that no matter how he moved, he couldn't increase the distance between himself and the black-armored giant.

His strength was far inferior to that of the giant; with each impact, worms were destroyed by his force.

His space for Expansion and Contraction became smaller and smaller, confined within a narrow space by an invisible prison.

The "Baron of Corruption's" Spirituality burst forth, and the rotating "Geometry" rings prevented Slaugth from retreating.

The "Distortion" restriction limits the worm's Expansion and Contraction, making Slaugth like Training Servitor controlled by a program.

Amid a series of explosions, Slaugth's worm arm shattered, and the Necrotic Staff crashed to the ground.

With a turn of the sword, blue and white specks of light exploded within Slaugth's body like stars.

Nimrod raised his Power Fist and pushed them forward.

A thick, transparent liquid flowed, layer upon layer, enveloping the clumps of worms.

Nimrod stared at Slaugth in the amber cell and curled his lip.

[Slaugth, who utterly thrashed Alpharius, is nothing special.]
