Chapter 682: Falke's Despair
"Blasphemer! Alien! You will pay the price for what you have done!"
Vulkan felt only the raging fire burning in his chest; with a roar, he stepped forward, and the ground beneath his feet shattered and subsided in response!
The Warhammer in his hand, without a hint of flourish, met that roaring Hellfire Battle-axe, striking out fiercely with pure, overwhelming power!
Clang—!!!
The destructive sound wave instantly tore through all the clamor on the battlefield, forming a visible shock storm that directly vaporized the nearest Demons and the stone Fortress!
Even space itself twisted and trembled!
Falke's giant axe, capable of cleaving mountains, was actually held dead in mid-air!
For the first time, its scarlet eyes clearly reflected Vulkan's reddened pupils—a frenzy of rage, an absolute will to destroy!
Falke discovered with horror that the Hellfire it had infused with the power of the endless Shenyuan was rapidly melting and disintegrating like ice and snow under the radiance of the opponent's Warhammer!
"Impossible!!"
For the first time, there was an unbelievable tremor in Falke's roar.
It poured out all its strength, even mobilizing the power of its own Soul Core to bolster itself, attempting to suppress this tiny Human!
However, Vulkan's body remained motionless, while the lava-covered earth beneath his feet continued to collapse and melt under the pressure of his pure strength!
Vulkan simply tensed the muscles in his arm, and an even more dazzling light erupted from the Warhammer!
Crack!
A sound of shattering rang out!
Falke's pride-and-joy Hellfire Battle-axe had a massive crack forcibly burst open on its blade!
The Hellfire was rapidly dimming!
"Urgh!"
Falke's massive body was pushed into a backward stagger by this irresistible, immense force!
Its fortress of self-confidence collapsed instantly under this display of Vulkan's pure power!
"Arrogant!"
Falke let out a roar mixed with shame and anger, attempting to salvage its dignity.
It slammed its pair of giant bat wings, which blotted out the sky, shut in front of itself, while simultaneously brewing an Abyssal Breath in its mouth capable of corroding the soul!
However, Vulkan's movements were faster and more precise!
His left fist clenched, penetrating the seemingly indestructible Magic Shield without any obstruction!
Where the fist-front struck, the fist, containing immense power, directly disintegrated the Demon bone and wing membrane structure that composed the bat wings!
Splat! Boom!
Falke's Demon bone wings shattered inch by inch like rotten wood!
Large swaths of wing membrane were torn and ignited, turning into burning Ashes!
Falke's pride-and-joy defense was ridiculously fragile in front of Vulkan!
At the same time, that lethal breath spewed out, but it only barely grazed the armor at the connection point of Vulkan's left shoulder.
The black flames containing Abyssal Power licked at Vulkan's cheek, leaving scorch marks and bringing a stinging pain.
But this insignificant injury could not even make Vulkan's brow furrow in the slightest!
Under Falke's horrified gaze, the scorch mark healed and smoothed over at a visible speed, as if it had never existed!
This terrifying regenerative ability was the most intuitive mockery of Vulkan's immortal essence!
A Warhound Titan locked onto Falke after finishing off the Ash Disaster Beast.
"High-energy Demon psychic entity detected! Threat level: Extremely High! Concentrate fire!"
The Sensor Array of five Warhound Titans instantly locked onto Falke.
The Twin-linked Laser Cannons began to charge, emitting a high-pitched hum.
However, Falke and Vulkan were too close, and there was a constant stream of fearless flying Demons and large ground Demons madly throwing themselves at the Titans, using self-destruction or brute force to try to interfere with their targeting and movement, buying time for their master.
The Titans' Void Shield fluctuated violently under the dense impacts, and the Vulcan Mega-bolters swept madly through the surging tide of Demons.
"Bathed in the fires of war, forged on the anvil of battle!"
Claudel and the warriors roared, their Chainswords, Combi-Flamers, and Bolters forming an indestructible web of fire, desperately holding back the Demon onslaught that had become even more violent due to Falke's descent.
"Heavy weapons team! Aim for the big ones! Don't let them get near the Titans and the Primarch!"
The Cadian soldiers fired desperately from behind cover, the beams of their Stubbers and Laser Guns weaving together, striving to clear the threats approaching the main battlefield.
"Demon Alien! Psychic Suppression!"
The Grey Knights, clad in silver Holy Shield Power Armor, had sensed the monstrous evil the moment Falke descended.
After finishing off the eight Demon Generals attacking them, Valantis quickly led his team to assist Vulkan.
Their powerful psychic energy converged into golden lightning and mental shocks, stabbing toward Falke.
At the same time, the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberds in their hands flickered with pure psychic light, precisely hacking apart any psychic Demons or Demon sorcerers attempting to cast spells who dared to approach.
Falke felt the lethal threats coming from all directions, especially the psychic energy of the Grey Knights, which made it incredibly irritable.
It took a heavy hammer blow from Vulkan directly to its chest; the lava carapace cracked and dented in large patches like inferior pottery, and the excruciating pain made it let out a desperate roar!
"Pfft! Urghhhhh!!!"
It swung its remaining bat wing stumps and battle-axe madly, whipping up a storm of destruction in an attempt to force Vulkan back, but it had no effect; all resistance seemed so futile.
Every one of Falke's attacks was easily neutralized by Vulkan; every one of its defenses shattered under Vulkan's power!
Despair began to erode the Soul Core of this Great Demon.
"In the name of Humanity, your life shall come to an end!"
The Warhammer in Vulkan's hand swung down rapidly, transforming all his power into the purest, most direct torrent of destruction, with speed and force that transcended the laws of physics.
It slammed fiercely and with absolute precision into the core wound on Falke's chest—the one already heavily damaged, with its carapace shattered and magic leaking out!
Boom——————!!!
A pure pillar of light erupted violently from Falke's back!
"No————!!!"
Falke let out the final scream of its life, filled with endless agony, utter despair, and disbelief!
All of its struggles, all of its fel energy, and all of its pride turned into nothingness before this hammer!
The Demon's bat wings hung down powerlessly, the Hellfire Battle-axe slipped from its strengthless hand and slammed heavily onto the ground, the Hellfire extinguishing instantly.
Vulkan stood tall beside the massive remains of the Demon Lord, which were rapidly decaying and turning into fly ash.
The energy arcs dancing on the Warhammer gradually subsided, emitting a low hum.
He adjusted his breathing slightly, raised the Warhammer in his hand, and shouted aloud.
"Humanity will triumph!"
And upon seeing this scene, the Salamanders Space Marines and Cadian soldiers on the battlefield also let out a roar.
"For the Emperor!"
"For the Lord of Fire Dragons!"
"Cadian stands!"
"Praise the Machine God!"
