Warhammer: This Galen's Heart of Steel

Chapter 16 The final redemption
It wasn't just Garen who suffered a mental breakdown, but also the search and rescue team in the manor.

"Judge McCarthy, Willis, so many friends, so many loved ones died because of that crazy woman's stubborn and stupid ideas.

And now, we have to save the daughter of that mad woman, the daughter of the executioner who slaughtered countless friends and relatives."

Mia collapsed and pushed Rant to the ground, tears falling uncontrollably on Rant's cheek.

"Rant, tell me, why, why!"

Rant turned his head away, his expression struggling and painful. He didn't know how to respond to his teammates' questions.

Seeing that he avoided her question, Mia looked at Toler next to her and Lux ​​who was holding his hand.

Lux hid behind Toler timidly, not daring to look Mia in the eye.

Mia broke down and cried loudly, crying very sadly.

After a long time, the crying gradually became softer and turned into low sobbing.

Lant packed up his weapons and equipment and said expressionlessly, "Let's go. The mission has to continue."

"This is for those who are alive."

The three-person team took Lux to the agreed location, where there were remaining resistance forces to pick them up. Once the barrier was broken, everything would be fine, everything would be fine.

Rand convinced himself.

The journey to the rendezvous point was extremely difficult. The hungry and frenzied beasts would rush towards them like a tide as soon as they smelled the scent of fresh flesh and blood.

The second team member to die was Toler, who single-handedly led the surging zombie horde away and, like Willis, bid farewell with a plasma grenade.

This chatterbox guy didn't get to enjoy the treatment of the protagonist after all.

Perhaps, at the end of the grenade explosion, this guy was still fantasizing that his and others' experiences would be made into a movie, making countless Demacians cry.

Toller's sacrifice further stimulated Mia, who was on the verge of mental collapse. She went completely crazy. She raised her gun and wanted to kill Lux in order to avenge Ogasha, the culprit of everything.

Rant killed the last of his team members himself, and when Mia tried to kill Lux, he ended the poor woman's suffering with a bullet.

Rant knelt beside Mia's body with an expressionless face, while Lux stood beside him at a loss.

He hid Mia's body where the zombies couldn't reach it. This was the only thing he could do for his teammates as the captain.

"Let's go, the mission continues."

Lant only said this one sentence and continued to move towards the rendezvous point with Lux.

Thanks to the emperor’s blessing, the two men did not experience any more hardships on their subsequent journey and they arrived at the rendezvous point smoothly.

Through the dreamy psychic barrier, Lux finally saw her brother whom she hadn't seen for months.

He has heavy bags under his eyes and his face looks dull, as if he is very tired. The beard on his chin hasn't been trimmed in who knows how long.

"Brother looks a lot taller." Lux muttered, comparing Garen's image in her mind with that of a few months ago. The change was huge.

Lux didn't know that it was a growth at the cost of sadness and despair, blood and fire. The last power in the Primarch's genes was discovered, and his height grew to 3.5 meters like the other Primarchs.

If he were to face Baron Nash at this moment, he could easily cut off his head without having to fight the entire morning.

"let's start."

The willing body looked at the man standing on the side.

Jarvan nodded slightly at him. He wanted to say something that would make him look cool, but considering Garen's bad mood at the moment, he chose to keep his mouth shut. He just liked to compete with Garen, not to get beaten.

"I will teach you two psychic spells that only high-level psykers can perform, called Warp Siphon and Brain Explosion."

Brain Storm: Aim at an enemy, and after charging for 2.75 seconds, use subspace energy to cause high damage to it. This whole set of actions takes 3 seconds.

Warp Siphon: Killing an enemy with Brainblast grants a Warp Amplifier buff. Each stack of the buff increases damage by 3%. The Warp Amplifier buff lasts for 20 seconds, and each buff refreshes the duration. The buff can be stacked up to 4 times, which means the damage can be increased by up to 12%.

By stacking the damage of the two skills, the psychic power in Lux's body can be amplified.

Lux learned quickly, and by evening, she had learned two psychic spells.

Everyone stared at the nine-year-old girl nervously. The lives of millions of Demacia people were now entrusted to her.

The demon hunter handed over a strange stick, a cybernetic force field staff, the equivalent of a Warhammer version of a staff.

When Lux poured the psychic energy in her body into it, the connecting pipes connecting various parts of the staff also began to emit psychic light.

It seemed as if fireflies were gathered all around Lux. Countless firefly-sized light spots appeared from the void and slowly gathered at the top of the staff. A faint corona of light enveloped Lux's entire body, making her like an angel descending to the earth, filled with an aura of divine glory.

The spiritual energy gathered on the staff became increasingly powerful, and the steel-forged staff continued to tremble and emit bursts of wailing.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Jarvan pressed his palm on the barrier, and ripples of ochre-colored water spread from the palm of his hand to the surroundings.

A dazzling column of psychic light flashed with colorful light, and it rushed towards the top of the barrier like a pillar of heaven. The surging power bombarded the barrier, and the barrier immediately trembled.

boom!
The crisp sound of shattering exploded in everyone's mind.

Bright and dazzling psychic light poured down from the sky. Before it touched the ground, it was absorbed by the rock-colored armor and turned into an illusory halo at the edge of its outline.

In the blurred light and shadow, the sword and shield pattern of the Crown Guard family, which had been somewhat low-key in the past, became extremely conspicuous, projecting from the light into the eyes of the people present, and then piercing deeply into the deepest part of their hearts, the strong worship of the strong hidden in their hearts.

"Is he an angel from heaven?"

A man suddenly knelt on the ground and muttered to himself.

"If there is a God in the world, this is probably what it would be like."

The man next to him echoed.

Garen swung his sword towards the city, and the zombies were stimulated by the psychic light and rushed towards their location like a tide.

"Fearless Vanguard, kill!"

It was an almost one-sided massacre, even though the number of zombies far exceeded that of the warriors of the Fearless Vanguard Legion.

But in front of the fully mature Primarch, they are like humble ants on the ground. No matter how many there are, they can hardly shake the Primarch's majestic body in the slightest.

But behind the crowd, the tragedy was not over.

Lant looked expressionlessly at the fearless pioneers charging into the city.

He raised the pistol and pulled the trigger.

boom--!
This is the end.

The rescue team pulled Demacia back from the brink of the abyss at the cost of all its members being killed.
