Slaying a Desolator Dreadnought!

Just as Alvin was being chased all over the place by a Chaos Hellbeast,

Afkar wasn't idle, either. He had set his sights on another Chaos Dreadnought.

Judging from the twisted Chaos wreckage that had yet to be covered in flesh, it was a Dreadnought of the Desolator pattern.

Chaos Desolator Dreadnoughts often held the sarcophagi of former Chaos Lords!

For that reason, this Chaos Desolator Dreadnought was very likely the most valuable enemy in the Legion—

perhaps even its commander!

He would break through the enemy lines and cut off the head of the Chaos Lord entombed inside that Desolator Dreadnought's sarcophagus!

Then Afkar let out a vicious grin and strode into the Chaos Daemon Army, dragging the sword the Lion King had bestowed upon him.

His sword flashed fiercely—thrusting, slashing, chopping, stabbing. In mere seconds, seven or eight Chaos Space Marines and Daemons had fallen beneath his blade.

Then Afkar flicked his sword and, amid the chaos of battle, fired several bursts with the gun in his left hand. Several more Chaos Space Marines went down.

His gaze turned to the Chaos Dreadnought.

The two stared at each other across the battlefield. Though neither spoke, the Desolator Dreadnought could feel that its opponent was challenging it!

Good!

The Desolator Dreadnought roared and accepted the challenge.

It advanced with heavy steps, like a monstrous beast that could topple mountains and split boulders, then charged toward Afkar.

"Just what I wanted!"

Afkar licked his lips, his blood surging with excitement.

It had been a long time since he'd truly let loose. The last time he lost to Alvin, it had been because that man had "foresight."

But this time, he would prove his worth before His Highness Alvin!

In the blink of an eye, Afkar collided with the Desolator Dreadnought.
