Chapter 478: Kid vs Space Marine: Warrior's Rage Skills Unleash Might
"WAAAGH!!" The surrounding Ork war bosses all started roaring loudly, appearing extremely excited, and then began to slowly retreat.
Soon a circular arena was cleared, and four Space Marines and four Ork boys walked into the fighting circle.
"WAAAGH!" The four Ork boys suddenly shouted, a blood-red aura ignited on their bodies, and the black unknown coating wrapped around their broken iron axe heads.
The red aura suddenly ignited on the Ork boys' bodies, along with that black coating—even the seasoned Blood Angels Chapter Master Dante, the four veteran Space Marines, and the several tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus.
But no matter who the opponent is, Dante believes in the veteran soldiers under his command.
The four Blood Angels Space Marines before him are no weaklings; each of them is a Space Marine with extensive combat experience.
They have participated in all kinds of battles, faced all kinds of enemies, whether Orks, Tyranids, even Chaos, and the Tau.
Even the mysterious Necrons, they have fought against them.
These veteran soldiers of the company, still wearing powerful Terminator power armor, these four Ork boys could never be their match no matter what.
Even these four Space Marines in Terminator armor, together with the veterans, could successfully assassinate an Ork war boss.
They are all veteran soldiers, specially selected by Chapter Master Dante from the company, and each of them is equipped with the Imperium's finest Terminator-type power armor.
The four Ork boys let out a roar! Then each charged toward the four Blood Angels Space Marines.
In just an instant, the four Ork boys rushed to the front of these veteran soldiers, then violently collided—something strange happened! The veteran soldiers, not knowing what was going on, suddenly fell into a daze, even finding it hard to stand.
Just now! The four Ork boys simultaneously activated the charge skill; the warrior's charge skill can quickly rush toward a target, causing the target to be stunned for one second.
As long as the strength difference isn't too great, that one-second stun can be judged as successful.
Thus the four veteran Space Marines were left stunned in place, and one second is already enough time to unleash the next skill.
The four Ork boys roared together, each activating Command Shout, War Shout, Demoralizing Shout, and one activated Fear Shout.
War Shout and Command Shout can increase one's attack power and also stamina limit.
Demoralizing Shout makes the enemy become timid, reducing attack strength, lowering the opponent's attack power.
As for Fear Shout, it is used to frighten enemies, imposing mandatory fear on them! It also belongs to a control-type skill.
Four shouts: two increase one's own attributes, while the other two are used to weaken the enemy.
The four Space Marines suddenly felt their heads foggy, and for some reason they developed a sense of fear toward the four Ork boys in front of them.
Even though the stun time had passed, the four veteran Space Marines still stood frozen in place; the four Ork boys rushed forward and directly launched an attack against several of the Space Marines.
Brutal strike, tear, fury strike! Bloodlust Fury! A series of fierce blows, under weapons empowered by Armament Haki, actually tore open the Terminator armor.
At this moment, several Space Marines also launched a counterattack, the chainswords in their hands began to spin, and they slashed at an Ork boy.
That series of strikes was extremely bizarre, even leaving them unable to react; logically, Space Marines who have undergone nineteen biological augmentation surgeries.
Possessing unimaginable combat strength and nerve reaction speed reaching the second level, their reaction ability should definitely be faster than a slim person's.
And just like that instant earlier, they seemed to have been forcibly possessed by some power, even their whole heads feeling dazed and heavy.
And they also felt fear toward the Ork boys in front of them; this is absolutely unforgivable.
Thus these Space Marines all flew into a rage, raising their chainswords and attacking mercilessly, completely with a lethal intent.
The Ork boy they were facing also refused to yield, wrapping his broken axe head in Armament Haki and raising it, ferociously meeting them.
Clang-clang, the chainsword and the Ork's great axe collided fiercely, but the chainsword actually failed to cleave the Ork's axe outright, leaving the attacking Space Marine's face showing surprise.
Could there be a mistake? These Ork's weapons, we had just carefully observed them.
They are just the crude axes used by ordinary Ork boys, colloquially called "slashers", with extremely rough craftsmanship.
Such cheap equipment, facing our mighty practice swords, should shatter on contact.
Even this Ork boy in front should be cut in half, axe and all, by us.
They have fought the Ork race countless times, sometimes even facing Ork boys in flanking maneuvers, but in their hands, not a single Ork boy could survive a single round.
"Roar! Wah! Wah!" The Ork boy bellowed, a more surging red aura burst from his body, and his entire body began to spin at high speed.
Warrior's ultimate technique Whirlwind Slash! Let the body spin at high speed, swinging one's weapon to attack the opponent.
This move is the basic version of the Warrior's ultimate skill Blade Storm; wanting to learn Blade Storm Whirlwind Slash can be considered a prerequisite skill.
The high-speed spinning weapon, for a moment, actually fought this Space Marine to a draw.
The other few boys also each displayed their might, unleashing various warrior skills, continuously attacking these star-level Space Marines.
The Armament Haki of these few Ork boys is only at an initial stage, able to cover weapons but not the whole body.
Nevertheless, even so it is enough; the Ork's weapons being able to contend with the chainsword is already sufficient.
"Everyone stay calm and composed in battle, these Ork boys are off, don't disgrace the Blood Angels' name! Do not betray the holy blood of Sanguinius!"
One Ork boy used a blocking skill to fend off the chainsword in front of him, then threw a small hammer formed of energy, instantly striking the Space Marine before him.
The warrior skill from the world of Azeroth, Stormhammer, this move originally was a dwarf race technique.
But after some modifications, now all warriors can basically use this move by relying on rage.
This move can forcibly stun enemies for more than three seconds, and it is a ranged attack that is guaranteed to hit.
"Karl, what's wrong with you? Damn you freaks, what ability did you use?" A Space Marine instantly noticed his companion's abnormality.
Karl seemed to have fallen into that dazed state again, but the other few Ork boys also successively used Stormhammer, trying to hard-control several of the star-level Space Marines once more.
"For the Emperor!" a Space Marine roared, a golden light burst from his body, nullifying the Stormhammer the instant it touched him.
"These Orks also possess a special psychic power; we must unleash our own strength! For the Emperor!" Several Space Marines roared together, their bodies also glowing with golden light.
This move can be said to be the blessing of the Emperor, Lord of Mankind, or rather a kind of mental power of theirs; after bursting forth, it can boost one's combat power in a short time, even entering a bullet-time state (similar to the burst state in Space Marines 1 and 2). "Roar!" The four Ork boys also roared, activating the charge skill again, but this time the stun attack was not judged successful; this golden light protected those Space Marines.
After activating this special burst ability, the four Space Marines' strength also greatly increased—whether movement, power, reaction speed, or sensitivity, all were raised a notch.
Several Space Marines nimbly dodged the Ork attacks, then each used their weapons to dismember several Ork boys. The Ork boys all suffered heavy injuries—some had limbs severed, some had their bodies split in half, and one was even worse, being cut in half at the waist.
"Really sorry, Your Majesty the Demon King! Your warriors are incredibly strong; my men couldn't hold back their hands for a moment, but your Ork species has strong self-healing ability; you should bring over a windbreaker to show them, perhaps there's still hope." Blood Angels Chapter Master Dante nodded at his Space Marines and spoke.
These few veteran soldiers indeed did not disappoint me; although these four Ork boys have abnormally strong combat power and also possess extremely bizarre abilities, in the end they still lost to them.
"You mean the battle is over? No no no, look below, my boys haven't lost their fighting power!" Luode sneered and spoke.
We've only just begun! These Ork boys haven't even fully unleashed their power! They've used the Desperation Virus, which can greatly boost self-healing ability, allowing severed hands and feet to be reattached, and the Ork species is itself an extremely buggy race.
These guys are half animal, half plant, and they inherently possess extremely strong self-healing abilities; even if a beastman kid's head is chopped off, they won't die on the spot.
Take a pain-wracked kid, then attach his head to another beastman's body, and that beastman can still jump around lively.
What do you think the beastmen's fear canister is? They aren't those fearless mechs of your star warriors, with an old soldier's blood coffin inside.
After obtaining the Desperation Virus, these beastmen's self-healing becomes even more ferocious; even if their heads are split open, they can self-heal and want to kill these beastman kids. The only way is to completely blast them into dust.
This is also Luode's modification of the beastman race in preparation for the incoming Tyranid Swarm.
Let each of these beastman kids become an unkillable little strongling.
Although the Tyranid Swarm is indeed a huge, unimaginable threat to other races, to Luode it's nothing but trash that can be wiped out with a wave of the hand.
Dispatching his own Xenos unit, or summoning some Burning Legion members, or directly calling the Solar Star Official, can all exterminate this swarm of insects.
However, since we've come to this beastman tribe, we might as well pass the boring time by playing an interesting game.
As Luode's words fell, the bodies of the several dismembered beastman kids on the ground suddenly oozed a magma-like liquid, which quickly formed their damaged bodies, or reattached the bodies that had been cut in half.
This Desperation Virus is also extracted from plants, so its effect on the Orc Beastmen is simply fantastic!
In just a moment, the four skinny true kids sprang back to life, jumping about, weapons in hand, with fierce grins as they looked at the four star warriors.
Seeing this, the Battle Group Leader Dante and the several Technical Priests in the distance all showed expressions of disbelief.
What's wrong with these beastmen? What is that magma-like substance flowing in their bodies? When did the beastman race gain this weird ability? This bunch of green-skinned bastards already possess extremely strong self-healing capabilities.
Now possessing this power, on the battlefield they become unkillable existences; even each beastman kid can match a star warrior.
Although the four star warriors had just defeated a few beastman kids, the power displayed by those few beastman kids.
Some star warrior recruits are no match for them; even if they don't wear powered armor, veteran soldiers who have fought a hundred battles are not a match for these green-skinned mutants.
For the Human Empire, this is absolutely not a good thing! Although star warriors can be mass-produced, the total number of star warriors in the entire empire is still under a million; for the vast Galactic Empire, this number is insufficient.
According to the beastmen's reproduction rate, on a planet they only need a few months to breed tens of thousands of legions.
If such a legion appears, such an undead legion with such formidable combat power, it would be absolutely terrifying for the empire.
"Roar!" The beastman kid who stood up picked up his weapon again, wrapped his weapon in martial color hegemony, and also wrapped his whole body in a layer of magma, becoming extremely hot.
Then they charged at the four star warriors; although the Emperor's Blessing Burst Mode just used greatly increased their combat power, after using this ability it enters a cooldown state.
For at least a certain time, the star warriors cannot unleash their Emperor's Wrath.
But now the beastman kids who have gotten up have combat power even greater than before! Their blood-red fury and the red, magma-like ability are unimaginable pressure for the star warriors.
After just a few rounds of combat, the four star warriors have already fallen into a disadvantage, even their Terminator armor.
They were smashed to pieces by these violent beastman kids using scorching magma, various fury skills, plus martial color hegemony.
"WAAAGH! WAAAGH!" The four beastman kids let out earth-shaking roars.
They completely disregarded their own bodies, exchanging wounds for wounds; the star warriors, if an arm is cut off, will immediately grow a new one, and any wound on their body will quickly heal.
Seeing this, the Blood Angels Battle Group Leader immediately wanted to go help, but an invisible force bound him, preventing him from moving his body at all.
"Battle Group Leader, you weren't just saying to play around? Since we're playing, let the kids have a good time! Look how happy they are!" Luode said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
Trying to intervene is impossible; just watch closely.
After more than ten minutes, the four star warriors could no longer hold on; their Terminator power armor had been completely dismantled.
Revealed inside was an extremely strong body; their bodies were covered in scars, and even on their bodies were metal connecting bolts—these are traces left by the star warriors' surgical modifications.
But this body, in front of today's beastmen, can only be said to be somewhat sturdy; covered in martial color hegemony, the fury-axe easily tore apart their bodies.
Several battle-hardened star warriors emitted shrill cries; their limbs were chopped off by the kids, then they collapsed to the ground, losing all ability to resist.
They suffered what the star warriors could not accept most—a disgraceful defeat!
Just as the four beastman kids raised their axes to chop off the heads of those four star warriors, Luode waved his hand.
"Enough! Stop!" Luode's voice was like a divine command.
In an instant it transmitted into the heads of the four beastman kids; their raised axes froze in midair, then they respectfully lowered their axes and stepped aside.
"Children of Saint Gilles, how are you? Luode the Great Demon King, this, this is not what we said."
At this point, the Blood Angels Battle Group Leader Dante, having regained the ability to act, came before his star warriors, seeing his subordinates reduced to human sticks, and let out an angry roar.
Originally intending to give the enemy a show of force, originally wanting to test Luode's power, but unexpectedly the tables turned, and the one who ended up being mocked was himself!
"Didn't I say? It's just playing around, and it's not even a serious injury."
Luode lightly waved his hand, and four beams of green light fell upon the four star warriors.
Their originally broken hands and feet miraculously reconnected, and even some wounds left from the modification surgery on their bodies disappeared completely.
"Look, they're jumping about again, right? As for the armor, let them first wear our beastmen's armor; that seems pretty good too." Luode said with a smile.
"Emperor above, what power is this? What power is this?"
Just a wave of the hand, and the four dying star warriors were revived! Even the traces of their prior surgeries on their bodies disappeared!
What exactly is this power? Could it be! Could it be that this beastman before us can actually stand shoulder to shoulder with the Emperor? (End of chapter)
