It has devoured countless Sicilians.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she finished speaking, she saw the giant leap down without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Szczesny sliced off one of the sea monster's tentacles, he was met with a violent retaliation. He dodged frantically, but the Toothed Kraken wasn't like a normal octopus with just eight arms; it had dozens of writhing tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been flung away multiple times. Fortunately, his troops opened fire in time, relieving some pressure and allowing him to barely hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this provoked the creature's frenzied counterattack. The Fourth Regiment suffered devastating losses; at least dozens of lightly augmented warriors and over a hundred candidates were eaten by the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Trinio lost their morale and fled in panic, screaming in a local dialect of Low Gothic that Szczesny couldn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Giorgio stayed beside the commander, shouting at his kin and rallying thirteen recruits who had passed the selection process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Fourth Regiment was falling into crisis, a massive figure plummeted from the sky, crashing down on the elongated head of the Toothed Kraken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Szczesny's eyes lit up as he saw Nareth drive his heavy halberd deep into one of the sea monster's compound eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The steel-clad warriors watched as the monster was struck with meteor-like force and slammed into the sea, creating a towering tidal wave over a hundred meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared in awe at the towering figure standing on the sea's surface and erupted in thunderous cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perun, God of Thunder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sventovit, God of War!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each associated Nareth with ancient deities and charged into the sea like pilgrims, madly attacking the tentacles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth pulled out his heavy halberd. Blood stained the sea red, and Fangjaw let out a painful wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gene-primarch sensed sharply that the attack hadn't been fatal. The massive sea monster had vitality matching its size, and its eyes were not its vital weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind howled behind him as Nareth flipped forward. His halberd left a deep gash on the creature's elongated head-body like a runway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his warp vision and tried to observe Fangjaw the same way he had with the Mother Sea, seeking weaknesses invisible to the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of tentacles thrashed wildly. Fangjaw hadn't been injured for a thousand years and was now enraged, determined to devour the pest atop its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the aircraft, Marlena raised her staff high, aiming at the creature that had devoured countless of her people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two beams of radiant light shot from the skull ornament, targeting a tentacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cells combusted and boiled, gray tentacles turned bright red like heated iron serpents, thrashing wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! A tentacle exploded into thousands of fragments, scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had landed a hit, but Marlena frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fangjaw's vitality is terrifying. I only blew up one tentacle with a direct hit.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Maria and the others injected combat stimulants from the Kournikova family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsvetana rapidly pulled the trigger, emptying her energy clip in an instant, arcs of light rained down on the sea monster's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two assassins leaped down. Dementieva gripped her riot shield tightly and slammed it into the octopus's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria slashed an arc with her curved blade, cutting through a swinging tentacle. As she landed, she drove her glass dagger into the slimy head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Coral Sea's overlord let out a deafening roar, its remaining compound eyes bloodshot as it raised its head in fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maria and Dementieva raised their weapons to strike its head, but tentacles flew through the air, whipping their arms and sending them flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two were flung back, Fangjaw lifted its head to its highest point, still dozens of meters below the aircraft.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsvetana reloaded and fired into the creature's gaping maw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlena cried out in Low Gothic: \"Get out of the way, it's going to spray ink!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pilot acted on instinct, jerking the controls to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black ink slammed into the aircraft's undercarriage, sending the streamlined airship into a spin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweating, the pilot struggled to regain control, and the ink had nearly struck the ship's nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone else was in chaos from Fangjaw's attacks, Nareth seized his moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered that peculiar state again; it felt as though he stood suspended in air, overlooking the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't see people's physical movements. Instead, he saw their projections in the Immaterium, the ripples of their souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He perceived the fear of the Trinioans and the pilot, the unwavering faith of the steel warriors, Marlena's overwhelming hatred...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most crucially, he saw Fangjaw's warp projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the octopus's organs, the most unusual was its ink sac. It radiated two opposing lights: brilliant life-light wrapped around a core of darkness filled with countless screaming souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With soul-sight still active, he also saw spiritual light flickering above it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth understood immediately:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Toothed Kraken's ink sac is both its weakness and a Beyonder material.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fangjaw had exposed this weakness by flipping over. Seizing the opportunity, Nareth let his body fall naturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mid-air, he swung his halberd powerfully, striking the upper edge of the ink sac beneath the octopus's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He twisted his body, the halberd carved downward in a smooth arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primarch's body seemed to defy gravity. Along with the halberd, he sliced along the edge of the ink sac like a butcher's blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fangjaw sensed the tear beneath its head and tried desperately to stop itself from toppling backward, but it couldn't control its massive form like Nareth could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its enormous body tilted to the right and crashed into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the wind and waves, Nareth advanced with long, arcing strides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cut the entire ink sac out, skin and all, perfectly intact. Grabbing the slippery hide, he tore hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fangjaw's tentacles twitched feebly. As the ink sac was removed, its life force drained rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nareth landed in the sea, he sensed the final glimmer of Fangjaw's soul extinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primarch, having successfully unearthed his latent power, smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I should name this ability. It's different from a Psyker's Aether Vision or a Beyonder's Spirit Vision.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'When I use it, perceiving emotions is just a side effect. Its main purpose is to identify an enemy's weak point.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's similar to the Sequence 5 ability \"Weakness Detection\" from the Red Priest path, but it doesn't rely on mysticism. I directly observe through subspace.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'In that case, I'll call it—\"Warp Insight.\"'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nareth thought of the Eleventh Legion; he would soon take over from the Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I wonder how many of my gene-sons will awaken this \"Warp Insight\" inherited from me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people of Trinio gazed in reverence at the giant dragging back the ink sac. He had killed Fangjaw, the Coral Sea's nightmare, and ended the Sicilians' thousand-year curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marlena stepped down from the aircraft and approached Nareth. She bowed deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for killing Fangjaw. With its head, the Sicilians will offer you their loyalty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1205,"2026-06-06T05:05:10.489Z",1,"novelbin.me","a4605469d3d46a4bd4a9e39e82c0f2f7f75b247c9fd2c71736f301f968e05509","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-48","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-46",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
