Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim.

Chapter 103 A Woman Named Aqua Duna Decides to Die (Part 2)
The 28th Expeditionary Fleet, the Imperial Pride.

Another day.

"Thirty years, Chemos, Sagittarius, gold ring."

"I love Fu, and Fu loves me."

The pirates from Eldar once again gathered before the shrine, chanting incomprehensible prayers before the flames of the new Phoenix King.

Even if Kasgar came, he still wouldn't be able to understand why the Thirsty Lady (Slaanesh) would pay less attention to these people when they were reciting the [Centaur Golden Ring].

Yes, Slaanesh is still watching them.

Even after the flames of Casca burned them, they were no longer at the mercy of the Thirsty Lady.

But He and His demons will not let any soul that dares to escape from His grasp go.

Especially when it's something that slips through your fingers.

The Thirsty Lady has always been watching over the souls of all Eldar.

But for some reason, Yrel discovered that when watching the play "Centaur, the Golden Ring," the gaze from Slaanesh would be much less intense.

Based on this, the Eldar naturally incorporated key lines from the play into their prayers.

But this time, as their prayer was repeated for the thirtieth time...
But the flames suddenly grew even brighter.

Gardiner main star.

battlefield.

"Wait! That's not what I meant—"

"To be honest, I don't really understand the way you wizards think."

"Since it has already been predicted, shouldn't we strive to change it and make up for future regrets?"

Cicero was right.

but.
"If you don't have enough manpower, my Ultra Warriors and I will go with you."

"Let's go, Ultra Warriors!"

"Since Aqua died because of my failure, because I failed to take down Gadinar, then I'll settle this matter myself!"

Under the gunfire of the Gardiner, the ground forces of the 413th Expeditionary Fleet were wiped out in an instant.

As the commander, Cicero is largely to blame.

Before Guilliman arrived, Chapter Master Cicero was already prepared to die and volunteered to take on the role of the vanguard.

The shame of the Ultra Warriors can only be washed away with blood.

He, Cicero, the Ultra Warrior, will not live on with the shame of his fallen comrades.

"Come on, Casca! You saved me twice, I should have repaid you for this life long ago!"

"Attack the Bastion Shield Generator! Let's rescue the Blademaster together!"

The Ultra Warriors around him erupted in an astonishing roar.

"Extreme Warriors, charge with us!"

"For the Empire! For Altramar!"

"For—Guilliman!!!"

Now that things have come to this, Aqua decided to die on her own.
I can't bring myself to say it anymore.

Should we save her or not?
While unrelated Ultra Warriors charged at the Gadinar for Aquaduna.

Can Kasgar really be deterred by the so-called prophecy?

The hesitation lasted only a moment.

save!
Of course we should save them!
When he arrived in the Warhammer world, after learning all this and choosing to leave the mountain with Fugrim, he should have had no more hesitation!

If he were cowardly and afraid of the curse of fate, he should have died of old age long ago, above Chemos!

He appeared here to save all of this!

At that moment, golden-red flames climbed into Casca's eyes.

It is as if it were real.

Kaska made up his mind, his heart sank, and followed them towards the Gadinar people's fortress.

Aqua Duna!
Even if the reactor explodes, I will save you from it!
So be reckless, it's not like we haven't been reckless before!
A psionic reactor, huh?
Come out and let's settle this one-on-one!

Casca floored the accelerator, driving his purple-gold motorcycle straight toward Gadinal's fortress.

"How's the situation on your end? Are you able to destroy their defenses?"

Pointing the communication device to her ear, Philus called out loudly for Aquaduna.

She was a little anxious.

Currently, although she had previously competed against him in the ring, it was out of a desire to acquire his talent.

The fact that this space marine, the Emperor's son whom she valued most, charged into the enemy ranks alone and faced the enemy's heavy siege all by himself inevitably made Phyllis feel somewhat panicked about losing him.

Aqua did not respond in the communication system.

There was only the sound of countless swords slicing through armor and flesh, accompanied by particle cannons and laser cannons shooting from all directions.

Just by listening to these sounds, one could tell that Aqua was currently deep in enemy territory alone, and was wreaking havoc inside the enemy lines on her own.

In fact, Aqua was not the only one who went on a killing spree.

With their high-speed motorcycles as their means of transportation, and with the Ultramarines charging forward recklessly to draw the last Gadinar's fire, Casgar's charge into the enemy fortress encountered almost no effective hindrance.

But after Casca broke into the shield generator amidst heavy artillery fire, he had to abandon his motorcycle and also cut into the core of the giant shield generator alone.

"Stop him!"

The Gadinar modified warriors who were waiting there rushed towards Casgar in a frenzy, trying to block his path.

The soldiers, like a tidal wave, could not completely stop Casca's advance, but they could greatly slow down his speed.

"Damn beasts!"

An unnamed rage and impulse surged into Casca's heart at that moment.

He could feel the flames burning continuously in his right hand.

The flames from the warp became increasingly integrated with him as he recklessly advanced.

Casca's pace and speed were increasing, and its momentum was constantly growing.

He is in the process of transformation.

But at this moment, Casca had no time or inclination to pay attention to these things.

He was anxiously searching for Aqua's whereabouts.

"Where!"

Then, he found her.

"Quickly! Deploy more personnel towards Aqua's location!"

"Support his advance! This is our last stand—"

Phyllis shouted into the communication system.

But the only response she received after a period of silence came from Aqua.
Last words.

"My lord, it is not necessary."

Bang! ! !
There is no need for a communication system at all.

A loud explosion, loud enough for anyone to hear, resounded from the heart of the Gadinar capital fortress, in front of the large, saucer-shaped tower.

The enemy's central control system has been completely destroyed by Aqua.

But it is clear that Aqua could not have survived such a devastating explosion.

Aqua is dead.

The peerless swordswoman from the son of the emperor, one of only two in the entire fleet capable of unleashing her full power.

He died so easily.

Phyllis found it hard to accept this result.

The weak should be eliminated. She had not undergone mechanical enhancement and deserved this fate.

She was the weaker party, so eliminating her was the only logical outcome.

fart!

Phyllis loudly retorted to the voice within her.

If Aqua is weak, then the entire Steel Hand is useless!

But if she wasn't a useless person, then why did she die?

Does that mean those who die for the greater good are all weak-willed and driven by emotion, and should be excluded?

wrong!

Phyllis suddenly sensed something unusual in her mind.

This shouldn't be her idea at all!
As if waking from a deep dream, Phyllis saw the steel hands of steel around her and suddenly realized!

What's this! ?

Why would they abandon their physical bodies to undergo mechanization? Isn't that what she strongly opposes?!
and many more!

It seems like I was the one who sent them to undergo mechanical modification!

What exactly is this——

"what!"

A dense, dark aura continuously emanated from the top of Philus's head.

"Quick! The Primarch has been subjected to a psionic attack by the Gadinars!"

Seeing that the time was right, Amar from the Thousand Talents Institute immediately shouted to the many Thousand Talents behind him.

"Help the Primarch!!!" At that moment, psionic lightning from Amal surged toward the dense black aura.

They weren't entirely clear on the best way to deal with warp creatures, but psionic lightning and fire were generally the best solutions.

However, the lightning disappeared quickly after making contact with the object.

This black mist is truly strange!
"Let's intensify our efforts and work together to purify it!"

Even the combined team of so many wizards could only hold them back, preventing them from further influencing Philus's thinking.

Apart from that, the attack did not seem to cause much effective damage.

The flames from the explosion engulfed everything in front of Tunya.

In the final moments of her life, she thought of her students, each with their own unique characteristics.

Especially that guy Casca.

He always manages to bring her all sorts of surprises.

However, since his psychic powers awakened and he gained prophetic abilities, he seems to have become less active and optimistic than before.

Perhaps it was because they felt the burden on their shoulders.

And there's also Fugrim, to whom she swore allegiance.

"The Emperor's Son. What will his future hold?"

She closed her eyes and murmured softly.

"Then you'll have to witness all of this yourself."

Kaska's reply came to her ears.

Wait, Casca!?
Just as the reactor was about to explode, a burst of flame from the warp instantly engulfed her and the guy next to her.

And the other person grabbed her and was rushing towards the outside.

But the reactor still exploded behind them.

"Fix it for me!!!"

Fortunately, this is a psionic field shield generator.

The massive psionic shockwave generated by the explosion weakened and dissipated somewhat when it encountered the flames of Kasgar.

Of course, this is only relative to Casca.

Aqua, standing to the side, was still experiencing a powerful psychic energy attack.

Even with the protection of Casgar's flames, his power armor was mostly damaged and lost its defensive capabilities.

"Protect them!!!"

As Kaska's resolve grew stronger, even more intense and surging golden-red flames climbed onto Aqua and Kaska's bodies as if they were tangible.

Flames far more intense than ever before enveloped Casca at that moment.

It continuously weakens the damage from the psionic shockwave and repairs the damage to its body.

The true fire of Asuyan can save you even if you are burned to ashes!
Even though Kasgar had not fully awakened, the power of that flame was enough to save her life!

Almost there! Almost there!

Protected by the golden-red flames, the psionic shockwave gradually subsided after blasting him out of the tower.

Casca breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Surrounded by phoenix flames, they leaped swiftly toward the Iron Hand position.

"Let's go, Master."

"We should go home."

Where is Casca now?

"what?!"

"What do you mean by charging into the enemy's shield generator spire alongside the Ultramarines?!"

Amar felt his vision go black.

What does it mean? !

Could it be that Casca cheated on their son with the second company commander and is planning to commit suicide with him?

This level of explosion.
Amar would rather believe he was bitten by a dog while walking on Prospero than believe that Casca would come back alive!

"I am back."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kaska, whose armor was almost completely intact, appeared in everyone's sight, holding Aqua in her arms.

"What are you—"

Amar looked at the other person with some confusion.

Although Casca's appearance has not changed at all.

But in terms of both presence and feeling, Casca now gives him a more unpredictable feeling.

Mysterious and powerful.

"She's slightly injured; have the pharmacist take good care of her."

"By the way, he must be the apothecary of our Emperor's son."

Don't let yourself be rescued by Aqua only to find yourself completely altered by the Iron Hand's apothecary.

"Amar, how is Philus?"

“Not very ideal.”

"This unknown psionic attack on the Primarch is far too powerful; we can only suppress it for now—"

"Okay, let me do it!"

As Casca smiled, raging flames burned on his right arm.

Compared to the past, the golden-red flames are more solid and more surging.

He watched as the dark aura continuously emanated from Phyllis's body.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Damn demon!
Vanish forever!
A surge of golden-red flames instantly enveloped Philus's entire body.

burn!
Burn it well!

As Kaska watched the aura of the [King of Sapphires] gradually weaken, his anxiety intensified.

We absolutely cannot let this thing escape back into the warp!

The King of Sapphires symbolizes the self-hatred born after Philosopher's death, and once born, it will exist in all timelines.

Phyllis's death is an inevitable fate!
To eliminate this inevitability, the "King of Sapphires" must be completely wiped out of this world!

"Flames, burn it to death!!!"

Kaska kept repeating this to himself.

Unfortunately, the opponent was, after all, a powerful demon with a name and a reputation.

Even though it can only slightly possess Philus at this moment, it is still a powerful warp demon.

A Phoenix King that is not yet fully awakened can indeed drive it back into the warp.

But that's far from enough to completely eliminate it.

After enduring prolonged scorching heat, in order to preserve itself, the [Sapphire King] ultimately chose to leave Philos and return to the Warp.

As the last wisp of black mist dissipated, Phyllis collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted.

"So it still hasn't been completely eradicated?"

Kaska muttered to himself.

Does that mean Phyllis will inevitably die in the future?

He was a little worried.

The highest heaven.

In the depths of that invisible transformation in subspace.

"This is really weird."

The King of Sapphires has escaped the pursuit from Casca.

By this time, he was extremely weak after two rounds of grilling.

Fortunately, in the boundless heavens, nothing can harm you anymore—

call out--!
A golden holy arrow, moving at incredible speed, pierced through all barriers of time and space, striking directly into the heart of the fleeing demon.

In that instant, pure golden flames ignited on his body.

My own existence is being melted away by this golden flame!

Panic overwhelmed his thoughts.

Before it completely vanished, the demon stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

This is a flame capable of wiping out everything!

He never imagined that after merging with the Supreme Heaven, he could still be completely annihilated by a mysterious attack!

"What's this."

On his deathbed, before the golden flames burned away, he looked incredulously in the direction from which the arrow had come.

It was a subspace projection he had never seen before.

A shimmering golden light—

Centaur
