Five Cerabvores flanked a figure wrapped in a grey shroud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the hood, clusters of worms writhed madly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slaugth Overseer raised his necrotic scepter. A sickening light flared, and then an arc of electricity, accompanied by a dim light, lanced towards Thierry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Weapon Master\" had already activated his swift charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The necrotic ray scorched the obsidian deck. Guard members following their Knight Lord saw a large hole left in its wake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapon, blurring the line between machine and organic matter, crackled with frothy slime, like the surge of sickening bodily fluids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shadows of Orders swiftly flanked either side. The putrid slime disgusted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The War Mask transformed that fury into power. Their speed abruptly increased, shattering the numbness caused by neurotoxins. In an instant, they clashed with the Slaugth's servants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"Pugilist\" raised his blade horizontally, meeting a descending crystal greatsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crack, he was driven back two steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Cerabvore's tentacle sent another Honor Guard member flying. The \"Pugilist\" tumbled through the air before crashing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible force surged from the \"Pugilist's\" exceptionally robust body. The telekinetic force that had enveloped him rapidly dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After tumbling twice, the \"Pugilist\" regained control of his body. He pushed off with his legs, forcefully dropping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thud, the \"Pugilist\" crushed the telekinetic cage that had bound him and landed composedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, another true \"Pugilist\" closed on a Cerabvore, swinging his sword from right to left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As energy sparks flew, he clenched his fist. His power gauntlet slammed into the Cerabvore's abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Cerabvore staggered backward, a black figure leaped into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Pugilist\" swung his psychic sword with all his might, from left to right, cleaving downwards at an angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flash of psychic light, the blade split the Cerabvore's entire torso diagonally in two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Honor Guard worked in seamless coordination. Those with the greatest strength and best defensive skills met the enemy head-on. The strongest delivered fierce attacks to cripple the Cerabvores. Finally, the most perceptive swordsmen seized the opportunity to finish them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Pugilists'\" bodies withstood psychic attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unwavering will granted by the War Mask allowed them to resist the neurotoxins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In moments, the five Cerabvores were slain by the combined efforts of the Honor Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They formed a solid wall around their Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within that wall, amidst the writhing worms, a glowing parasitic eye perceived everything in the dim passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The passage, the Shadows of Orders, everything became distorted electromagnetic waves and light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Overseer's electromagnetic spectral vision allowed him to see, from another perspective, the energy waves blazing on the power swords, the undulations blazing on the psychic swords...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He abruptly raised his arm. An invisible shockwave swept the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The personal energy shields of the Shadows of Orders crackled. They were struck as if by lightning, trembling violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hands gripping the psychic swords felt as if they were clutching red-hot branding irons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thierry sheathed his psychic sword and ordered on the helmet's internal comm channel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deactivate personal energy shields. Sheathe psychic swords.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blazing light of the psychic swords rapidly dissipated. The Shadows of Orders, gripping their power swords, stood ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thierry gripped his power sword, wreathed in blue light. This blade, forged by Vulkan, was broader and thicker; its blade one and a half times longer than a standard sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Shadows of Orders who received similar blades would wield them two-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the \"Weapon Master\" wielded it single-handedly, with effortless grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Weapon Master\" swung his sword, charging swiftly at the Slaugth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clusters of worms writhed. The necrotic scepter swung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the scepter's curved, claw-like branches, evil runes emanated a strange, coldaura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SCREE SCREE SCREE!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evil, eerie force field clashed with the disassembly field, emitting a strange grating sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the Slaugth's left arm stretched instantly, lunging at Thierry's waist like a giant python.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thierry was prepared. He rolled left, dodging the tentacle, and simultaneously punched the Slaugth's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sound like a bursting balloon, a large mass of worms scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parasitic eye tumbled through the air, a flicker of surprise in its glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worms tumbled through the air, coalescing into a mass, then sprang up suddenly, enveloping the parasitic eye and merging into the right arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The necrotic scepter elongated and suddenly swung at Thierry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Weapon Master\" hit the ground and immediately sprang up, evading the scepter's strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled, swinging his sword, slashing at the Slaugth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a tearing sound, the disassembly field tore the burial shroud and swept across a cluster of worms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worms scattered like startled things, then condensed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Weapon Master\" wielded his blade with his swordsmanship, leaving gash after gash on the Slaugth in moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worms on the Slaugth's entire body writhed madly. Never since his elevation to Overseer had he been so disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had assumed that unleashing that attack and scattering the Shadows of Order fleet would allow him to drive his ship away composedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected the enemy to board his ship and be so troublesome to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he delayed further, allowing other ships to surround him, escape would become difficult. He would lose massive assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slaugth Overseer's mass of worms writhed madly. The vox-synthesizer embedded within his body extended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lumpy metal orb translated the Slaugth's viscous scraping sounds into the Rangdan language.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Murder-minds, I command you to kill the Shadows of Orders immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The xenos surging from the ship's depths immediately launched a mad attack on the Shadows of Orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike their usual composed demeanor, standing aloof behind the front lines, the Overlords now shrieked and charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a dozen xenos raised their crab-like claws. Grey-green psychic flames, like flamethrowers, spat searing molten streams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Pugilists\" met them head-on. They would never allow xenos to disturb their Lord.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The molten streams slammed into the gossamer-like net shields. Most of the molten streams were deflected, spraying against the obsidian walls on either side, crackling and charring them black.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Pugilists\" didn't slow. Flecks of flame licked at their black power armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They closed on the xenos, swinging their swords, chopping at the crab claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wave after wave of xenos attacks crashed against the \"Pugilists'\" rock-solid defenses, only to be shattered time and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had the Slaugth suppressed, Thierry frowned. He hadn't inflicted any significant damage. His only achievement was destroying a large piece of the burial shroud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the Black Emperor's words: his only chance of victory was to throw a grenade inside the Slaugth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Weapon Master\" pulled a grenade from his belt, staring at the Slaugth, seeking an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blade spun. Amidst a series of clashes, his eyes suddenly coagulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burial shroud on the Slaugth's legs contracted into a single strip. His upper body swelled dramatically. A mass of worms slammed against the obsidian ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parasitic eye coldly fixed on the black-armored warrior below. It pounced like a python striking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Weapon Master\" sidestepped while swinging his power sword. The blade, like a rein, missed the necrotic scepter and applied force from the opposite direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maneuver sent the Slaugth lunging forward by inertia. Before it could react, the blade slashed open its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disassembly field shrieked as it cut open its abdomen. Worms scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Thierry pulled the pin and shoved the krak grenade into the Slaugth's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worms churned and tumbled. Then, with a muffled explosion, worms scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thierry retreated. He saw clearly: the grenade had not detonated inside the Slaugth's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cluster of worms on its chest had trapped, wrapping around the grenade. It had avoided the strike at the cost of partial damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The Slaugth's vitality is too tenacious. Nearly unkilable.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As my Lord said, destroying it with a grenade requires my utmost effort, and even then, it's only a possibility.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Thierry pondered, a familiar, commanding voice suddenly sounded behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice spoke in Dunnic. It came from Howard Fender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Extending or expanding is \"prohibited\" here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Judge\" raised his hand, thrusting forward, and spoke authoritatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slaugth Overseer's synthesizer emitted a snort of derision. His evil will spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, his body shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Overseer let out a startled cry. He discovered, in horror, that his attempt to counter with psychic power had absolutely no effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How is this possible?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Overseer suddenly found his body, which he could freely stretch and shape at will, completely unresponsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The worms were constrained within an invisible range. The shape united by each cluster of worms remained exactly the same as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He struggled desperately to break free of the invisible bonds, but the worms moved slower and slower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Damn! I expended too much power earlier!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked in horror at the Shadows of Order who had raised his arm, aiming at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slaugth Overseer heard the other speak authoritatively in a completely incomprehensible language. Viscous, almost solid, transparent liquid tightly enveloped his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Layer after layer of walls tightly wrapped around each worm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slaugth Overseer's body solidified. He thought, horrified and bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I've been imprisoned.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I've actually been imprisoned.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thierry stared at the Slaugth, now encased in a enormous amber-like prison. He said to Howard, who had arrived beside him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As my Lord said, dealing with him is far easier for you than for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Howard shook his head. \"Without your earlier attrition of his power, I couldn't have 'imprisoned' him so easily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the fact that the worms could still move within a limited range earlier, he judged that his \"Prohibition\" could only partially suppress an Overseer at full strength, not completely restrict it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to wear down its power first to finish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy the story, my p@treon is 30 chapters ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[email protected]\u002FDaoistJinzu\u003C\u002Fp>",1651,"2026-06-06T05:05:27.510Z",1,"novelbin.me","57bab83469676ec20930fa62ee3620e499e743a6bff7fe3748ab47b00cd92718","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-525","warhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-chapter-523",698,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwarhammer-the-11th-primarch-the-black-emperor-cover.jpg"]
