Warhammer 30k and the Great Tomb of Nazarick

Chapter 105: The Fall of the Faceless

All of Neia's killing moves were combined into one attack, which was fired directly at the Word Bearers priest. Neia was confident that with the magic tools bestowed upon her by Ainz-sama, even a subhuman hero unit would find it difficult to resist this attack.

The fierce arrow rushed towards the Word Bearers priest, but the force field shield was deployed and the arrow was smashed to pieces.

Neia’s first attack failed to penetrate the enemy’s armor.

The Word Bearers priest watched indifferently as Neia's attack was eliminated by his force field shield, and then he took out his bolter.

"How can heretics and evil spirits harm those favored by the Emperor of God!"

The priest fired the first shot, and along with the unique roar of the grenade launcher, the mask on Ning Ya's face was torn to pieces by the airflow from the grenade launcher.

The Word Bearers priest did not aim at Ning Ya. He fired at the side of Ning Ya's cheek from the beginning, tearing Ning Ya's visor apart in an almost showy way.

The face revealed was young but twisted and hideous. The most distinctive feature was her eyes. She had a pair of triangular eyes with little black and more white. The corners of her eyes were drooping upwards, and there were thick dark circles around them. It was obvious at first glance that she was not a good person.

"Humph, it's true that appearance is determined by the heart."

After all, Ning Ya was also someone who had experienced life-and-death battles on the battlefield. After the first attack was completely ineffective, although she was horrified, she still dodged instinctively.

Being on the platform was like being an easy target, so Neia jumped into the crowd of believers and started shooting from the spot.

Of course, her mobility was meaningless against the five senses of the Space Marine level. The Word Bearers priest easily destroyed her mask, and the bombs that passed by tore apart the Faceless Men cultists in the row behind her.

Part of the believer's flesh and internal organs were directly vaporized by the powerful bomb, and the other part turned into minced meat and blood that splashed all over Ning Ya.

Most of those who could stand at the front of Ning Ya's speech were the believers she had recruited from the beginning. These were people who had experienced the tragic massacre of the Holy Kingdom by the demihumans, and dozens of them died this time.

Neia’s eyes, which were not big to begin with, quickly filled with bloodshot. She stared at the Word Bearers fiercely and shouted, “How dare you!”

“How dare you, evil people, hurt us! The Sorcerer King will not let you go!”

"I told you, threats won't work on us."

The priest fired a second shot impatiently. The bullet whistled past Ning Ya's legs, and the gust of wind broke her legs.

The magical healing necklace given by Ainz was activated, and with the healing of the third-tier magic, Neia quickly regained her ability to move.

“Don’t be afraid, everyone. Now is the time to sacrifice yourself for the Sorcerer King. Now is the time to sacrifice yourself for justice!”

“As long as you are willing to die for the Sorcerer King, even though you are weak and dirty, you can still create value. The Sorcerer King will watch over you, save you, and bring justice to everyone!”

After regaining her ability to move, Ning Ya quickly dived into the crowd of believers, running and shouting loudly to boost their morale.

Many of the believers here were indeed Ning Ya’s acquaintances, and had even become her friends. However, her mind, which had long been poisoned by the Great Tomb of Nazarick, had already determined that the weak had no value in survival.

For these people, dying for the Sorcerer King Ainz is the best way for them to realize their life value.

Of course, as a preacher of the Sorcerer King’s greatness, he was naturally stronger than them, and it was only natural for them to die for him.

With this idea in mind, although Ning Ya would be sad about the death of her believers, she didn't mind using them as human shields.

“Dedicate yourself to the Sorcerer King! Dedicate yourself to justice!”

There were many fanatics among the Faceless Men who had gathered in the capital of the Holy Kingdom. They truly believed the lies that Ainz was a god. Now, under the instigation of Neia, some of the Faceless Men ignored the huge gap in power between the two sides and launched an attack on the Word Bearers.

In addition to ordinary people, there are also magic singers and knights from the former Holy Kingdom, and even former members of the Paladin Order. In addition to humans, there are also some sub-human believers.

According to the Sorcerer King Ainz, the Faceless Men's sect accepts believers of all species, and sub-humans can often easily obtain higher status and better treatment in the sect.

Initially, these fanatics were impressed by the powerful strength displayed by the Word Bearers. Now, under Ningya’s encouragement, they shouted words of praise to Ainz and began to charge towards the Word Bearers’ troops.

The magic casters used their best magic, and the knights charged forward with the support of the magic casters. Then they were all broken into pieces in an instant, like waves hitting rocks.

The warrior standing at the forefront of the Word Bearers is Angor Tai, an outstanding recruit. Originally, only those veteran Space Marines who are good at close combat would choose to use power claws, and usually only one hand is equipped with a power claw.

Angel Tai was also equipped with two power claws. These large claws, which could directly grip a person into a ball, were covered with a light blue decomposition force field. To Angel Tai, it made no difference whether the enemy was an ordinary human or a knight wearing plate armor and enhanced by second-tier magic. There was no difference between a second-tier guardian angel summoned by magic and a thick-skinned sub-human.

He leaped lightly into the charging thugs and swung his power claws, taking at least five lives each time.

His combat skills were exquisite, even the Space Marines of the Emperor's Children Legion would admire him, there were no unnecessary movements, no pauses, he was so precise and efficient, destroying the enemy in a way that could be called an art.

Although he has only been in the other world for a short time, Angel Tai has shown extraordinary talent in magic and martial arts. He has integrated the martial arts and magic from the other world into his own combat skills. Although it is only a slight improvement at present, it has already produced a qualitative change in Angel Tai.

His integration was so perfect that even Lorgar admired his adaptability to the technology of the other world and believed that Angr Tai would be an ideal target for the Word Bearers in the future.

Facing Angel Tai and his dozens of battle brothers, whose combat power exceeded that of an ordinary company, the Faceless Men cultists seemed to have a large number of people but were actually vulnerable to collapse at the first touch.

The fanatics who were actually charging in the front were completely strangled in less than 2 minutes, and this was the result of the Word Bearers consciously reducing the use of long-range weapons in order to make these indigenous cultists understand the power of the Empire more intuitively.

The Faceless Men were defeated, and this time no matter how much Neia encouraged them, it was useless.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Neia used the scroll of teleportation magic that the Great Tomb later gave her. Using this scroll, Neia was teleported directly to the civilian area.

The Word Bearers priest discovered Ningya's escape, and he also activated the teleportation device. Although the principle of the Empire's teleportation device was completely different from Ningya's, since both could teleport, Ningya, who only had one teleportation scroll, obviously could not outrun the Word Bearers priest.

She got so angry that she hid in the residential area and started using the people as human shields.

Take advantage of the fact that the Word Bearers priests are careful not to hurt civilians by mistake and keep shooting arrows at the priests.

This time, Ning Ya did not dare to pursue strength, but adopted a rapid-fire approach, shooting arrows while running, and specifically rushing into crowded places or houses.

The Word Bearers priest was furious. He activated the teleportation device in his scepter and teleported directly to Ning Ya. His sandbag-sized fist smashed through the wall and grabbed Ning Ya. Ning Ya still wanted to resist, but the priest just shook her hard a few times and caused her a concussion.

When Ning Ya regained consciousness, she found herself tied to a cross in the Holy Kingdom Square, surrounded by onlookers.

The priest stood on the platform where Neia had stood before and read out Neia's crimes aloud.

In short, it means spreading heretical beliefs, relying on aliens, endangering humanity and many other serious crimes. The crimes are so serious that even death cannot atone for them.

But the God-Emperor was merciful and granted redemption, sentencing him to death by white phosphorus for only seventy-two hours.

When Ning Ya heard the sentence, in addition to fear, she also felt a little confused.

How come the death penalty is in continuous tense and lasts for such a long time?

Then Ning Ya knew, even though she didn't want to know at all.

Her cross was a special item custom-made by the Mechanicus. When the execution began, it began to release flames at unknown parts of her body. At the same time, several syringes pierced into her body, injecting various drugs into her body.

These potions will ensure that Ning Ya remains awake for the next seventy-two hours and can clearly feel every inch of pain in her body.

The flames were not extremely hot, and they did not immediately burn and carbonize Ningya's limbs. However, the flames were sticky and cruel, gnawing at Ningya's body bit by bit like maggots on her tarsal bones, causing her unimaginable pain.

Neia screamed and called out Ainz’s name, begging the Sorcerer King to save her. However, Ainz didn’t care about her. He didn’t care about her now, and he had never cared about her in the past.

Neia's incontinence was gone, but that didn't stop the execution.

About an hour later, Ning Ya got a brief chance to rest, and various medical devices began to repair her body, making sure that she would have the most intense experience every second of the subsequent punishment.
