With the alien weapon grafted into his throat, Eidolon cleverly pierced the defenses of the strong-force armor and knocked the White Scar down with a psychic shriek.
It was a terrifying attack of infrasound mixed with psychic power, capable of targeting both flesh and soul.
Before he could finish the job and completely end his opponent's life, a streak of light came from the side, forcing him to pull back and dodge.
It was Gantula, the Noyan-Khan of the White Scars. With one clean stroke, he killed the Emperor's Children Noise Marine blocking his path and charged straight at Eidolon.
For greater speed, the sons of Jaghatai Khan often installed additional jump packs on the backs of their Mk. II power armor. At that moment, twin spiraling streams of air erupted from behind him, driving him into the ground like a heavy artillery shell.
Other White Scars warriors guarded his flanks. Gantula gripped a power guandao at full output, its crackling disintegration field having just cut down a disgusting fallen Noise Marine.
Empowered by such overwhelming force, the disintegration field sliced through the opponent's ceramite armor with almost no resistance. Charred flesh fell onto the land set ablaze by artillery fire, making a dreadful sizzling sound.
Gantula saw only this sworn enemy before him. His heart pumped blood at a rate far beyond normal, and everything in his vision slowed. He could even make out the splashing blood and the trails of burning bolts in flight.
The White Scars' unique genetic flaw, battle-rage delirium, had nearly consumed him, but the Noyan-Khan held himself back from falling into the abyss through sheer force of will.
Instead, he erupted with even greater strength to face this mortal foe.
The Ultramarines tacitly yielded this section of the battlefield. They formed a standard wall
