Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 491 "Shaping with Shadows"

The Machine God Guard lay prone between the furnaces, watching in horror and despair as the divine machines were destroyed by strange creatures, collapsing like mountains.

They don't believe that the divine machine can be destroyed unless they are having a nightmare.

This was a nightmare, a nightmare they wanted to wake up from immediately.

They raised their weapons and fired at the monster, shattering the ridiculous illusion.

The bone-eater, its head completely black, was enraged and disdainfully fired a dense beam of light at the insects.

The light struck the furnaces that were being used as shelters, instantly vaporizing them.

The rising mist made the flesh of the Machine God Guard feel as if it had fallen into a furnace.

Not far away, Ramsey, hidden in the shadow of human slaves, looked back and saw industrial dust swirling in the wind.

Falk's Vostochny Rhino command vehicle sped through the sandstorm.

Dozens of armored vehicles followed closely behind their lord, speeding along the highway and unleashing a barrage of bullets at the enemies who stood in their way.

The communicator buzzed, and after Ramsey answered, Falk's voice came through.

"Think tank, report the situation."

"Titan has shattered the Bone Eater's energy shield, and it is expected that it will not be able to restart for a short period of time."

Ramsey said, his eyes deep, bio-energy spreading towards the towering behemoth.

After receiving feedback, he continued.

"The bone-eater suffered minor injuries, but the impact was minimal."

After a few seconds of silence on the communication channel, Falk spoke resolutely.

"We can't waste this opportunity. Target the Bone Eater, attack!"

The Vostochny rhinoceros and the Gabriel predator simultaneously rotated their cannons, aiming at the bone-eater.

The cannons roared, and the spitting flames swept the Bone Eater's body into clouds of green mist, while broken branches fell like raindrops.

The Bone Eater let out a painful groan, dropped the insects, turned his body, and aimed his arm at the black armored vehicle.

The black armored formation dispersed, darting left and right to evade attacks.

Several Gabriel Predator vehicles drove off the highway, their blinding lights following closely behind.

Following its spiritual intuition, the "monster" kept pulling the lever with both hands.

Black armored vehicles rampaged through the furnaces like drunkards out of control.

But Ramsay could see clearly that not a single black armored vehicle crashed into the furnace; as they dodged, they kept firing at the Bone Eaters.

Rain of shells pelted the Bone Eater, and green mist billowed and surged.

The Bone Eater let out a fierce roar, and the beam of light shot out, quickly splitting into palm-sized spheres.

[Can Bone Eaters manipulate the form of energy weapons?]
Ramsey frowned. He saw a Gabriel Predator vehicle, having just dodged a beam of light, immediately attacked by dozens of orbs of light.

The "monster" pulled the control lever hard, its machine spirit roaring angrily as the engine screech to provide even more power.

The black armored vehicle stumbled and flew out of the sphere of light, leaving a series of craters on the steel passage.

Boom boom boom!
One furnace after another was destroyed, and the space for Gabriel-type predators to hide became smaller and smaller.

With a deafening explosion, two orbs of light struck the black armored vehicle simultaneously.

The ball of light tore open two large holes, and with its remaining force, it penetrated the vehicle, leaving two terrifying chasms running through it.

Four more orbs of light struck, sending the Gabriel-type predator flying into the air before crashing into the towering furnace.

[I have to do something!] Ramsey thought, taking a step forward.

The hermit charged forward, weaving swiftly through the alien's shadow.

A foul stench swept past his nose, but the Shadow of Order did not shut down his senses in case any perceptive alien suddenly noticed his presence.

Ramsey felt a slight dissolving sensation within his body.

Just like when he drank the nutritious porridge today, the food dissolved quickly in his body.

It was more noticeable than when he was weaving through the ranks of the shadowy order.

An alien with an elephant-like trunk shakes its nose and sniffs around.

It seems something has infiltrated their ranks.

Just as he stepped out to search, he suddenly heard the sound of branches and leaves trembling.

"Attack! Destroy the human armored vehicles!"

The alien immediately stopped and, following the Bone Eater's orders, charged toward the black armored vehicle.

Falk noticed countless red dots rushing towards his team in the tactical hologram.

"avoid!"

"If you can't dodge, just run into him!" "Keep attacking the Bone Eater! Don't let his energy shield restart!"

The driver slammed the lever all the way down, and the sharp spikes on the front of the Vostonia-type rhinoceros truck snapped off the alien's legs, splattering viscous liquid onto the black body of the vehicle.

Following the orders of the agile group, the gunners unleashed a roar of explosive bullets from their Storm Bolt Rifles.

To increase lethality, another gunner crawled out of the top hatch and used the Storm Bolt Gun mounted on the second pivot to fire hunter missiles at the Bone Eater.

The flames released by the explosive charge scorched the Bone Eater's body.

The hunter missiles, trailing streaks of light, struck the tree branch above the target with pinpoint accuracy.

Under the continuous barrage of bullets, the Bone Eater swayed and fell backward.

Falk stared at the tactical screen, catching the moment. He gripped his gauntlets tightly, realizing that his decision to strike while the Bone Eater was weakened was indeed correct.

Just then, the sensor suddenly emitted a piercing beep.

Hundreds of orbs of light shot toward his command vehicle.

"Jump out of the car!"

Falk had already concluded from the battle that an energy weapon capable of destroying a Titan, even after splitting, was beyond the resistance of armored vehicles.

Several orbs of light can severely damage armored vehicles, a dozen or so can destroy his command vehicle, and hundreds can completely obliterate the vehicle.

The "Barbarian," dressed in a prototype Saturn Terminator suit, leaped out of the command vehicle faster than his guards.

The shockwave from behind crashed into the thermal field, producing a series of ear-piercing explosions.

Falk was thrown out and crashed into the furnace with a loud bang.

With a loud crash, the furnace slammed heavily onto the ground.

Although he was in a sorry state, he was not seriously injured. He braced himself against the furnace with his right hand and stood up.

After jumping off the furnace, he immediately looked at the interface on his helmet.

His five bodyguards survived.

Falk raised his arm and activated the Tenth Chapter's only heavy disintegration cannon, which was mounted on the Saturn-shaped Terminator prototype.

The blinding beam of light, its dazzling brilliance even surpassed the energy spheres emitted by the Bone Eater.

The split beam hit the top of the bone-eating creature's head.

A hole larger than the shadow of order was blasted into the top of the layered structures.

The bone-eater let out a deafening roar, and the remaining branches trembled.

His four arms turned in unison, aimed at Falk.

Four blinding beams of light illuminated the gray sky, temporarily blinding the shadows of order.

A few breaths later, the light subsided, and vision returned.

The sorrowful voice of the guard captain echoed through the communications channel of the 10th Battle Group.

"My lord is dead."

Falk not only died, but was also completely annihilated, along with his armor and the surrounding furnace, all of which were wiped out without a trace.

In their grief, the Tenth Legion unleashed a barrage of angry projectiles at the Bone Eaters.

As the hermit entered the green mist, he immediately felt as if his armor was being gripped by tentacles covered in slime.

The gas that flooded into the breathing grille was foul-smelling and reeked of money.

[poisonous!]
The think tank's eyes were deep and profound, its biochemical energy permeating every cell of its body.

Within moments, Ramsey expelled the toxins that had invaded his body.

The hermit moved through the massive shadow of the bone-eater, and saw a huge foot made of branches rise and sway as it fell backward.

The branches on its feet slapped down, stepping on the corpse of a Mech God Guard, crushing him into a pool of blood.

The hermit continued walking, arriving behind the bone-eater. He spread half of his remaining spirituality, touching the enormous shadow.

A black cat emerged from the shadows, each paw gripping a dagger.

The hermit activated his spiritual vision and stared at the black cat. He discovered that, compared to the black panther and blade he had previously "shaped in shadow," the cat and the dagger in his hand were more solid.

[The stronger the master of the shadow, the stronger the animal or weapon it shapes?]
The black cat climbed the branch and sped upwards, each time its paws landed, it would plunge the "Shadow Shaping" dagger in its hand into the branch.

The bone-eater didn't notice at first, until one of his legs stopped moving as he intended, and the rest of his body, due to normal movement, caused him to lose his balance.

The branches of the bone-eater's other two legs bulged, as if trying to stop its backward sliding motion.

But it was too late; the bone-eater, having lost its balance, crashed heavily to the ground.

The black armored vehicle quickly fled.

Hundreds of Ran Dan aliens, caught off guard, were crushed beneath the overturned Bone Eaters, turning into pools of blood.
