Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 724 The light and shadow faded, and Ning Lu was unable to use his spiritual energy for the first time.

Following the direction indicated by Eitsak, Ninglu found an ancient ruin among the black basalt peaks.

He found dozens of scattered bone fragments on the ground. They were irregularly shaped and varied in size, with obvious signs of hammering and grinding, clearly remnants of materials used in the making of the Falcon Short Sword.

Unlike common white bones, they are gray.

Ninglu picked up a piece of bone about the size of a finger. As soon as he touched it, he felt a slight numbness in his finger and instinctively felt disgusted.

He gently rubbed the bone fragment with his thumb, and his fingertip immediately felt a slight pricking sensation.

A dark spot shines into the eye of the gene prototype.

Anti-psychic materials.

Ninglu also keenly sensed an aura of decay, decaying every moment, yet it was unknown how many years ago the remains were.

The "Chaos Mentor" gazed at the spiritual light emanating from the bone fragment, confirming by discerning the spiritual glow that it was not a potion ingredient, but a spiritual one.

The "Chaos Mentor" scanned the scattered bone fragments on the ground, their surfaces covered with layers of intricate gray-black "lines of rules".

The "Chaos Mentor" was overflowing with spiritual energy, and bone fragments swirled up, rapidly transforming into fine threads that then intertwined with each other.

Several tens of seconds later, the bone fragments solidified into a chain.

The "Chaos Mentor" caused the chains to float to the ground temporarily before stepping towards a massive black basalt rock.

It is engraved with two pictures and dense Buddhist script.

One image depicts a man and an eagle battling under the moonlight.

The description of the pagoda next to it was only slightly more detailed than Etzsak's account.

The important line is, "On the day of decline, the pagoda will descend from the sky."

“The Day of Decline.” Ninglu chewed on the term, seeing it next to another image.

He immediately looked at the screen, where a figure holding a sword looked up at an eagle soaring in the sky.

Two spheres, one large and one small, are depicted in the air; the larger sphere is closer, while the smaller sphere is obscured by shadow.

"Does 'the day of decay' refer to a solar eclipse?"

Ninglu seemed to be deep in thought. He pressed the communication bead and asked Alsena Dunn about the results of Visa's lunar scan.

"My lord, the results of the oracles scan show that the celestial body has no abnormalities and its orbit around Vesa is stable."

"According to the report submitted by the Auger Matrix Master, the surface of this celestial body is composed of orange-red rocks, which is unusually normal."

"No plants can survive on the entire planet, but there are tens of thousands of eagle-like creatures."

"..."

After listening to the Primarch's servant's briefing, Nimrod's mind raced through the known intelligence:

The moon at dusk, a day of decline.

The tall and strong Vesa people possessed extraordinary fighting prowess.

Spiritual material, resistance to negative psionic energy.

……

A sudden thought flashed through his mind: [Could it be the "Twilight Giant"?]
After Ninglu made this conjecture, he carefully considered the situation of the Sa people and became increasingly certain of it.

The "Twilight Giant" pathway sequence 8 "Fighter" can use their body to reduce the effects of certain supernatural forces.

The Visakha people generally possess psychic resistance.

Ninglu recalled the scorching flagpole at dusk yesterday.

[It can affect the entire planet Vesa, and the entire Vesa population...]

It seems to be still not activated, in a state of unconsciousness or being sealed.

The key point is that the reaction that triggers the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" should also be unique.
Ning Lu's eyes shone brightly; he had the opportunity to rely on himself to achieve uniqueness for the first time.

Both of his unique attributes now come from Old Man Huang:

The "Red Priestess" was Huang Laohan's reward after the "Randan War," and the "Witch" in the empty glass was entrusted by Huang Laohan to Alkahas Far, who sacrificed her according to his own command.

While overjoyed, Ninglu also knew that achieving uniqueness was by no means easy.

He grabbed the gray bone chain with his left hand, flapped his wings, and took to the air, pressing his right hand against the communication bead in his ear. "Prepare the Stormbird, I'm heading to the moon of Visayas."

Four sidereal hours later, the Shadow Stormbird emerged from the flight deck of the Reign Shadow.

Inside the cockpit, Primarch's private pilot, Nelson, had his foot on the accelerator.

The black iron bird flew silently toward the orange-red celestial body, and the rune numbers on the dashboard dropped rapidly.

As the rune number jumped to 5,600 meters, "Winner" Nelson's eyes suddenly twitched.

"Hoo..." His breathing slowed down involuntarily, as if time itself had slowed down.

Within his obsidian-like eyes, in the empty void, the orange-red light abruptly bent.

The "winner" intuitively sensed that this fighter jet, which had been in service for less than a century and had just undergone a sacred blessing by a technical sergeant two hours earlier, was showing signs of decay.
The intense light from the Heavenly Punishment-class reactor dimmed slightly, and the instruments slowed their rotation by a millisecond...

As Nelson pondered how to report to his father, the numbers on the dashboard plummeted to 5,200 meters.

A red warning symbol suddenly appeared.

The quantum domain repulsion device has failed.

The cloaking veil of the Shadow Stormbird was suddenly torn off, exposing the black mechanical bird to the void.

Nelson activated his throat communicator and reported to Ninglu.

"Father, that moon is somewhat similar to the one of the Hruds, and the plane looks a bit dilapidated."

"Open the cabin." The authoritative voice commanded Nelson's instinctive obedience.

He pressed the control button anxiously, and the hatch opened.

Ninglu flapped his wings and flew out of the cabin alone.

He gazed at the orange-red star suspended below and plunged down.

The Primarch keenly sensed that the golden wings were flapping a little slower.

He was like someone stuck in a quagmire, each wave of his hand slower than the last.

With a thought, Ning Lu caused the fragments of the Burner to burst into golden flames.

Inside the black stormbird, the energy reader runes flashed rapidly, the yellow runes turning a blinding red in an instant.

Nelson followed the rune markings and found the shimmering golden light on the video screen.

Father!

The runes vanished abruptly.

The energy reading exceeds the capture range of the sensor components.

A shadow of gloom rose in the "winner's" eyes, a gloomy and decaying look that was worrying. He whispered as he turned the steering wheel.

"Father……"

Golden flames rose, propelling the Ninglu Expressway downwards.

The Primarch's eyes flickered with light and shadow, and he felt a hazy mist suddenly rise up, like a thin film of water vapor.

The light and shadow faded rapidly in the dimness.

boom!
The light and shadow went out.

The Primarch was unable to perceive the existence of the subspace, and for the first time, he was unable to use psionic powers.

In the "Chaos Mentor's" vision, countless intricate lines of gray and black rules filled his field of vision.

Looking down at the land, Ninglu saw a landscape of orange-red, with neat, dark blue-green rivers, tinged with the colors of dusk, running through it.

On both sides of the river, countless eagle-shaped creatures looked up.

Their feathers are bluish-black, their eyes are dark, and their beaks are curved like hooks.

Whoosh...

A flock of eagles took flight, their wings flapping as they soared into the sky.
