Beat the Adeptus Custodes Warrior Until He's Depressed and Doesn't Want to Train Anymore!

Caesar was secretly shocked; aside from his fellow Adeptus Custodes, he had never seen anyone completely evade his attacks at such close range.

Furthermore, the opponent was just a child who didn't even reach his knees.

Axis was in no rush to counterattack. He was observing, feeling the combat rhythm of the Adeptus Custodes, Caesar, and sensing his opponent's movements.

The power of Ki was not just for destruction; it possessed powerful sensory capabilities, much like Observation Haki from One Piece.

He felt every strike from his opponent, then perfectly predicted and perfectly dodged them.

The combat techniques of the Adeptus Custodes were indeed exquisite; every move was tempered through thousands of trials, leaving almost no openings. This was interesting.

Ki... it is not just destructive energy; it can also sense the rhythm of battle and perceive the flaws of an opponent, Axis thought to himself. The Ki within his body began to flow faster, and his movements gradually became quicker, smoother, and more powerful.

Suddenly, Axis's figure flickered, as if he had instantly split into several afterimages. Caesar's pupils contracted sharply.

Such speed! Is this kid a monster?

"Over here!" Axis's voice came from Caesar's right, followed immediately by a hand-blade strike aimed at Caesar's shoulder.

Caesar quickly raised his arm to block, but the force behind Axis's strike far exceeded his expectations, leaving his arm numb.

After landing the blow, Axis immediately jumped back, putting distance between himself and the Adeptus Custodes. He was currently fighting a humanoid grizzly bear.

He absolutely could not let the opponent land a single hit; the Saiyan combat talent was being displayed to the fullest at this very moment.

Caesar was alarmed. A youth's strength could actually rival his own? Was he mistaken? Are you a Primarch, kid?

At this point, the Adeptus Custodes, Caesar, no longer held any contempt. He narrowed his eyes and began to fight with all his might.

If he treated this kid as an ordinary child, he would be making a grave mistake. The combat power of this kid was far stronger than an average Space Marine.

He was not even weaker than an Adeptus Custodes recruit. Caesar's attacks began to turn fierce and violent, with every strike being lethal. Even without wearing Power Armor, an Adeptus Custodes was a deadly killer.

However, Axis could always predict his opponent's attacks. His small body was extremely agile, dodging and striking the Adeptus Custodes' body from all sorts of tricky angles.

The stamina, endurance, and recovery of the Adeptus Custodes were ridiculously strong. Although Axis had hit him several times, the Adeptus Custodes was completely fine.

His endurance was such that he could fight Axis for a month without issue, so the outcome had to be decided quickly.

Axis did not give Caesar a chance to catch his breath. His attacks came like a storm, each strike imbued with Ki and possessing astonishing force.

Moreover, relying on his Ki perception, Axis seemed to perfectly predict all of Caesar's attack movements, dodging and counterattacking.

Although Caesar was barely holding his own, he was clearly beginning to fall behind.

A white light ignited in Axis's palm, which he then aimed at the Adeptus Custodes before him.

A white Ki Blast shot from Axis's hand, slamming heavily into the Adeptus Custodes.

"Bang!" With a muffled thud, Caesar was forced back several steps by Axis's Ki Blast, his feet carving deep indentations into the alloy floor.

He then knelt on one knee; Caesar's chest plate was completely shattered, revealing his scorched muscles.

"Shall we continue?" Axis withdrew his offensive stance and looked at Caesar with a smile.

Caesar took a deep breath to steady his breathing, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

"Your strength... indeed exceeds my expectations, but this is far from my limit, nor is it the true combat power of the Adeptus Custodes."

After all, it was just a sparring match; he hadn't worn his Power Armor, nor had he used his Power Weapon.

Once he donned his Power Armor, his reaction speed and strength would increase more than tenfold, not to mention the addition of a Power Weapon.

Axis raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Then let me see your true strength!"

"..." Caesar.

This brat! I really want to put on my Power Armor and beat him up.

Caesar recalled his hundreds of years of combat career.

From the high walls of the Imperial Palace on Terra to the savage planets on the edge of the galaxy, he had seen countless powerful enemies, but he had never encountered an existence like Axis.

Axis's power was not just physical prowess; it was a combat intuition that transcended common sense.

Every dodge and every counterattack seemed to anticipate his own moves. That near-perfect combat rhythm made Caesar feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Caesar's gaze fell on Axis's palm, where the residual heat of the Ki Blast still lingered.

Although that strike was merely for sparring, Caesar could feel the terrifying destructive power contained within. If Axis were to go all out, even Power Armor might struggle to fully withstand it; without Power Armor, he might actually be killed.

If I wore Power Armor and used a Power Weapon, I might be able to suppress him... Caesar calculated, but then shook his head.

It would be too shameful for an Adeptus Custodes to wear Power Armor just to deal with a child. He would have to double his training when he returned.

"Let's go, it's time to eat." Caesar turned and walked toward the exit of the training room. "Your appetite is enough to surprise even Emperor. If we don't go now, the Servitors will likely be running around in a panic again."

"Haha, I worked up a sweat and am indeed a bit hungry. Let's continue our fight tomorrow."

Over the next ten days or so, Caesar seemed to have developed a competitive streak with Axis, coming to the training ground every day for combat drills.

The two's sparring turned into a substantial battle. Aside from not using his Power Armor, the Adeptus Custodes warrior used almost all his strength.

Axis's growth rate far exceeded his imagination, changing visibly almost every day. He had gone from being evenly matched at the start to becoming a punching bag.

Thump, thump, thump, thump!

Axis excitedly swung his small fists, hammering the Adeptus Custodes warrior opposite him. After mastering Ki perception, the Adeptus Custodes couldn't touch him at all and could only take the beating passively.

Having an Adeptus Custodes as a sparring partner was incredibly beneficial for his growth! It was truly fantastic; these golden corn cobs were simply perfect punching bags!

In just over ten days, Axis's combat power had already broken through to over 800 points.

Without using Ki, he could already trade blows evenly with the Adeptus Custodes, and Axis declared that if he used a Ki Blast, the Adeptus Custodes would be dead for sure.

After the battle ended, the Adeptus Custodes Caesar sat on the ground, looking somewhat devastated.

"Axis, I don't want to train with you tomorrow," the Adeptus Custodes Caesar said, his eyes vacant.

This kid... what kind of monster is he exactly?

"???"

What was going on? Weren't you Adeptus Custodes known as training fanatics who played the Blood Game every single day? Why didn't he want to play anymore?
