Warhammer 40: Doom

Chapter 357 Encounter

The menacing claws suddenly dropped, concealing invisible blades within them.

Atum stopped in time, his attention highly focused. He clearly felt something invisible slash past, and the golden armor was easily sliced ​​open.

A bone-chilling coldness spread through my skin, the cracking sound of muscle bundles snapping pierced my eardrums, the bone connections broke in response, and the icy sensation continued downwards, stabbing straight into my second heart!
The situation was extremely critical! It was too late to parry the spear back; his left arm was unresponsive and unable to retaliate.

Atum immediately released his spear, and dimensional claws popped out from his right arm armor, slashing upwards.

Upon seeing the azure light blade again, Lady Kra felt a sense of dread. She abruptly stopped in mid-air, then let out a sharp shriek and retreated swiftly.

Several explosive shells came flying, but were blocked by the flashing psionic shield. The Imperial Guards rushed out of their cover, brandishing their guard spears, and charged forward like a whirlwind.

Some people are even faster!
The other two teams of Squad 33 attacked from both sides of Lady Kra. The first person to reach her had sealing wax strips pasted on his golden armor.

Zul, who slaughtered Shadow Demons and entered the Warp with the Primarch, possessed immense power.

He brandished his spear, and the three-meter-long blade of light left a crescent moon in the visual field as it sliced ​​across Mrs. Clara's lower abdomen.

"Bah!!!!"

A shriek infused with psionic energy swept out, sharp and painful, as dimensional blades pierced the shield, severing multiple limbs.

The Doomsday Warrior's will cannot be swayed by psionic energy. His light blade continues its momentum, bending upwards as if to cleave the alien in half!

Poof! ! !

The air vibrated, and everyone heard a strange sound—the resilient sound of something soft, delicate, and elastic snapping open in an instant.

As her body was severed, Lady Clara's body flew straight up, barely avoiding being cut in half at the waist, thus saving her life.

HM-6657 locked onto the muzzle and fired a powerful, bowl-sized pressurized laser, which struck the psionic shield, making it impossible for Lady Kra to pursue her.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides immediately retreated.

Dora, a member of the Imperial Guard, thrust out her spear with one hand to force the alien back, then grabbed Atum by the back of his neck armor and dragged him away from the danger zone.

Zul and another brother raised their spears and stood in front of Atum, their eyes fixed on Lady Kra through their glasses.

Gunfire stirred up dust and air swirled around Lady Clara, whose torso hung in the air, its psychic purple blood dripping from its severed limbs.

Atum was able to move away from the danger zone, which gave him time to check his injuries.

The strange, invisible object, without triggering any shield reaction, smoothly sliced ​​through the Radiant Gold Armor, severing the left scapula and sternoclavicular joint, causing the left side of the user's chest to collapse.

The power armor's internal syringe injected medication to stabilize the body's injuries, maintain the current combat status, and ensure normal bodily functions.

In less than a second, both sides suffered losses and gained an understanding of each other.

Lady Clara is exceptionally powerful. Not only is her psychic ability outstanding and she is adept at using mental power to defend herself, but her physical strength is also formidable, far surpassing that of the Imperial Guard.

Drop~
During the brief standoff, the information in the helmet was updated, the Lady Clara model was updated, and her mystery was completely unveiled.

Lady Clara has a pair of bat wings on her back, which shimmer with eerie psionic light. She hangs in the air, coldly watching the crowd below.

Its black skin resembled the bark of an old tree, yet it shimmered. It had two pairs of eyes on its face, with crimson pupils that shimmered with a bewitching, psychic light.

One right limb holds an ancient, carved flintlock pistol, while the left limb is empty, with no visible weapon.

In their successive encounters, many squads met Lady Clara, who provided intelligence immediately, unveiling the unknown.

"Smoke bombs." Atum's mind raced, and he mentally gave the command to the hounds to continue throwing smoke bombs.

As a company commander, the injury did not affect him; after treating his injuries briefly, he issued orders.

The mechanical hounds moving around immediately threw out smoke grenades, filling the street indiscriminately and obscuring the naked eye's vision.

Although the naked eye's vision was obscured, the sensing device was unaffected and could still clearly capture Lady Clara.

Faced with unfavorable circumstances, Mrs. Clara flapped her bat wings, attempting to escape the battlefield, and tried to flee.

The sky buzzed as thousands of anti-gravity drones converged, their laser lenses emitting light bullets that instantly engulfed the aliens with orange-red lasers.

“Soulless thing!” Lady Clara roared, her neck bulging as she slid her neck, spitting as she cursed the machine in frustration.

It remained completely calm, its body shimmering with psionic light. It raised its hand, aimed at the swarm of drones, and then suddenly snapped its fingers open!
The drone swarm immediately became chaotic, as if gripped by an invisible hand, tightening from the outside in, causing them to collide with each other.

During the compression and collision, the drone's armor creaked and groaned in pain, and electrical sparks seeped out from the gaps like blood.

Lady Clara's destructive urges erupted, her crushing desires more satisfied than ever before, and she let out a terrifying laugh as if she were crushing vile humans.

Just as it was feeling triumphant, its terrifying, owl-like laughter abruptly stopped, and its airborne body plummeted downwards, creating a series of sonic booms before crashing into the smoke.

boom!
The cobblestones shattered, the steel twisted, and a large crater was smashed into the street. The violent collisions were more intense than the surrounding gunfire.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Clara's momentary distraction, the Iron Man used the gravity lasso to pull her down. Mrs. Clara fell like a leaden stone and crashed into the deep pit!

Lady Clara fell to the ground, her psionic shield teetering on the brink of collapse. It sensed a chilling killing intent emanating from within the smoke!
It didn't have time to fly again; its raised arm never lowered as it controlled the drone's iron ball to smash into the abhorrent humans in the smoke.

The ball exploded in a cloud of cold sparks and smoke, and Mrs. Clara suddenly felt a lightness in her hand; the iron ball in the air had lost its mass.

Only human-equipped machines with disintegration weapons can achieve this, completely eliminating the mass of matter and neutralizing their own attack methods.

"Damn soulless machine!" Knowing it was in danger, it cursed again, fueling its psionic energy with hatred once more.

A race adept at targeting souls, they abhor soulless beings, their logical thinking devoid of any emotion, and are naturally immune to soul attacks.

Before it could finish preparing, a dark figure moved swiftly from the smoke, a spear wrapped in a disintegrating force field, thrusting straight at the face to take a life.

Lady Clara focused her mind, her four bloodshot pupils rapidly dilated, and an invisible spiritual force exploded, forcing back the human warrior clad in golden armor.

Beads of sweat appeared on its black skin, and it was terrified of the human's attack, almost allowing him to succeed.

Lady Clara felt constrained at every turn. The black-armored humans disgusted her, making it difficult for her to concentrate and greatly reducing her psionic power.

The armor they wore further weakened their psionic power, and before long, their magical power was reduced to less than one-tenth.

Before it could catch its breath, humans attacked again from the smoke.

Those terrifying, eerie light blades could easily penetrate psionic shields and directly threaten the main body.

The Dimensional Blade pierced through the smoke, and Zul'jin's attack followed closely behind the Imperial Guard. This was a strategy: to use the Imperial Guard to draw the enemy's counterattack, and then let the Doom Soldier deliver the final blow.

The blade of light descended with unstoppable force, and Lady Kra hurriedly blocked it, putting her arms together to parry Zul's powerful blow.

The moment it raised its arm, the smoke was disturbed by the invisible blade, revealing its length and width, which Zul could see clearly.

When Lady Clara brought her four fingers together, her fingertips shimmered with light, and a high-frequency resonant force field extended out, forming an invisible blade.

squeak~
The dimensional light blade easily sliced ​​through the psionic shield, colliding with the high-frequency vibrations and producing a sound that made one's teeth ache.

Zul remained silent, pressing down with both arms the dimensional spear, causing Lady Kra to lean backward, unable to resist despite her best efforts.

Even more terrifying, the high-frequency vibrations disrupted the force field constraints, causing dimensional light blades to spill out along the breach.

The situation is extremely critical. Lady Kra blocked the attack, but her body was cut by the scattered light. Her mind and body were damaged, and her psionic shield was completely shattered.

As the shield shattered, Lady Clara's dark skin tightened abruptly, and she let out a terrified scream.

Another Imperial Guardian, hiding in the blind spot behind Zul, his guard spear protruding from the Destroyer's waist, the dark muzzle pointed at the alien's lower abdomen.

The explosion rang out, but before Lady Clara could fall, she used one arm to create a small shield, blocking the bomb.

Then, Mrs. Clara shuddered, lost her balance, and slowly collapsed into the pit.

"Damn soulless machines! Lowly human race!"

Its four bloodshot eyes surged with hatred, cursing everything, but its breath grew weaker and weaker until it groaned helplessly on the ground.

Iron Man's nerve crusher completely shattered the alien nerves, leaving Mrs. Clara completely paralyzed and unable to recover.
