Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 174 Vacation is over (convinced)
Slaanesh, also known as the "Prince of Darkness", is the ugly and beautiful embodiment of all the indulgences in the world, or the concept of such behavior.

According to legend, he wields the power of endless temptation. Under the influence of Slaanesh, the most virtuous and moral beginnings will be twisted and degenerated into ugly consequences.

The spiritual pleasure brought by noble interests and the indulgence pursued by low-level interests can theoretically form the basis for the manifestation of Slaanesh.

The servants of Slaanesh are the Slaanesh demons named after him, or some indulgent mortals (including those aliens).

During the Horus Heresy, even some Astartes fell into minions of Slaanesh, and the "Emperor's Children Chapter" as a whole betrayed their faith.

Bourne has also been to the Eye of Terror, where there are a large number of Chaos Space Marine warbands nearby, many of whom are fallen Emperor's Children.

He had seen so many human beings corrupted by Slaanesh, especially those who had degenerated into lustful minions of Slaanesh, that he could never forget them.

And the image of "Mr. Zabini" who was transformed into a monster by the "curse of the dominatrix" exactly corresponds to that of Slaanesh's minions——

The new chelicerae and tentacles, the weird tattoos on the skin, the twisted and naked body, the ever-expanding prickly tongue...

Even if you take a step back, the similarity in appearance may be a coincidence, but Bourne will never misread the crazy desire that flashes in this monster's eyes from time to time.

Bourne personally killed the "unkillable" Lucius once with a chain sword, and also crushed the decaying skulls of many fallen "Midnight Lord" raptors who liked to play with noise and take chemicals for a long time with his bare hands.

He was too familiar with the demeanor of this group of indulgent followers.

Of course, this may be the so-called "stereotype", but Bourne doesn't just judge based on feelings.

He also has a scientific methodology for identifying offal from Slaanesh (or the various Four Vendors).

The simplest way is to pick up a chain sword and strike with a sword, or shoot with a bolt gun - if you are not dead, then there is a high chance that you will be.

So, he started experimenting.

"Zhuju Emperor Zhi!"

Bourne's huge figure was close to the ground, like a lying bat, and he quickly approached the two monsters tied together by the steel cable chains.

"The hole destroys the monsters!"

With a loud roar that could deafen people's ears, Bourne's figure suddenly jumped up, and the chain sword slashed at "Mr. Zabini" who was riding on a manticore with a manticore and a manticore. "The neck.

The sharp saw teeth tore through the monster's tough, rubber-like skin in one fell swoop, and a plume of filthy purple blood spurted out from the wound.

"——30%!"

Seeing the familiar color of blood, Bourne suddenly had a plan in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately stretched out his free palm and clamped the monster's large crab-like claws that were hurriedly raised to resist the tearing of the sword blade.

One pull, one tug.

While opening the wound, he used his backhand to cut off the octopus tentacles that were trying to sneak up on him with a "squeak" sound.

Without any pause, after cutting off the tentacle, Bourne suddenly raised his sword and inserted the blade into the back of "Mr. Zabini".

Like a candied haws on a skewer, Bourne's chainsword skewered the two monsters together and then drove them into the ground at the same time.

The manticore roared in pain, waving its tail in an attempt to hit Bourne hard. But how can it know what kind of cruel people the Astartes warriors who have been fighting in the Warhammer universe for more than three hundred years are?
Without even dodging, Bourne let go of the hilt of the chainsword and raised his hand to "catch" the scorpion's tail. After deflecting it, he stabbed "Mr. Zabini" in the back.

By the way (literally), Bourne raised his leg and kicked the manticore in the head, causing the magical animal to roll its eyes and fall into sleep.

The venom that could kill hundreds or thousands of people with just one drop was injected into the body of "Mr. Zabini" as if it was free of charge.

In fact, Bourne felt that the "water output" was not enough, so he pinched the manticore's tail twice, trying to squeeze out the stock inside.

In the blink of an eye, the indescribably abnormal (but abnormal) pink skin of "Mr. smoke.

Its big four-petal mouth kept opening and closing, but because it was paralyzed by the venom, it could only make a strange sound of "ho ho".

However, even so, this "Mr. Zabini" is still not dead!

After the festering flesh and blood tissue came into contact with the strange tattoo patterns on its skin, it seemed as if it had encountered some obstacle, and therefore stopped spreading.

"——50%!"

Bourne's eyes suddenly became much firmer, and at the same time several times colder.

Those who worship Slaanesh and indulge in sexual indulgences often develop strange tattoos or scar tissue that symbolize "desire."

Because a large part of Slaanesh's bastards are more or less addicted to toxic chemicals. So when they abuse those corrupted things, they rely on this so-called "blessing of Slaanesh" to save their lives (of course, sometimes they can't).

As the saying goes: Desire is hard to satisfy.

These marks that symbolize "desire" can act as a "moat" when toxins spread in their bodies, preventing toxic chemicals from quickly spreading throughout their bodies and directly poisoning them to death. .

Therefore, Bourne can be sure that there is a half chance that the monster in front of him is related to Slaanesh.

Such conclusive evidence is enough for a loyal Astartes warrior.

You know, if the people from the Tribunal were to come here, just by seeing the appearance of "Mr. Zabini" in front of them, they would conclude that he must be crushed to ashes, and then all nearby mortal witnesses Clear it clean.

And if the Gray Knights were to see it, I'm afraid the Iberian Peninsula would have to be wiped off the map. This would barely be considered as eliminating the hidden danger of the spread of Chaos.

Bourne is not one of those crazy people.

He would not go to such extreme lengths like those people. The most he could do would be to investigate this guy's background and then follow his family tree to find him one by one...

And just when Bourne was apologizing to Grandpa Horace (this summer vacation was probably going to be ruined) and made up his mind to completely eliminate all hidden dangers, another person present also made up his mind.

"Zabini, must die!"

The scarred Director Weasel climbed up from the broken window of a pet store, raised his hand and waved away an evil bird whose cage was damaged and accidentally released the effect of the "silencing spell".

The little guy with bright feathers, who looked like a half-sized owl, was making a high-pitched, chirping sound at the top of his lungs to relieve the depression of not being able to sing loudly for many days.

I don’t know if it was affected by the cry of the evil bird, or because I really thought that way. Anyway, Weasel, who had finally escaped, was like a bastard who had eaten a weight. Instead of thinking about running away quickly, all he could think about was how to kill Zabini first.

Then he hid behind the window and peered fiercely down the street, scanning everyone around him.

"All witnesses must die!"

Good guy, this guy seems to be possessed by the Gray Knight, and everyone is stunned.

He didn't realize that he wanted to kill the armored hybrid giant in one go (he saw it wrong or simply couldn't recognize it), the few unfamiliar little wizards with red hair, and a man with a full head. The adult wizard with blond hair is sneaking away...

This idea itself ran counter to his original plan of "quietly suppressing the matter" and was completely different.

Moreover, every second he delays now, the chance of him getting out of this matter becomes smaller and smaller.

With so much chaos happening in the Pillars of Hercules shopping street, the Ministry of Magic in London must have received the news, and all the elite combat wizards in the Auror Office may have gathered.

Not to mention, the reason why he took the risk to come back to kill Zabini was because he knew that Principal Dumbledore had also come to the Pillars of Hercules.

But Weasel's muddled brain couldn't even think of dividing a part of it to consider these things that should be considered more at this time.

And when he saw the hybrid giant (Bourne) holding a strange big sword, unexpectedly and quickly nailed the two monsters to the ground, and they were all seriously injured, Weasel suddenly jumped from the ground. Climbed up.

He raised his wand and uttered a spell: "Avada~Kill your life!!!"

Weatherall really had murderous intentions.

Therefore, just like the "original" spell that Lockhart spewed out in desperation before, even if the spell level was quite average, this death curse still had an effect.

A green electric light suddenly jumped from the tip of Weasel's wand to the "Mr. Zabini" who had turned into a monster.

Bourne, who was next to the latter, quickly dodged the green lightning, and the arm armor of the Fire Dragon Armor immediately opened and stretched into a small mithril shield.

At the same time, because the chain sword was still stuck in the two monsters, Bourne immediately took out another weapon of his from the deformed lizard wallet.

"Expelliarmus!"

Because he was in combat mode, in addition to using the disarming spell on the target, Bourne also waved the wand that turned into a psychic wand at the same time, releasing several psionic lightning bolts in succession.

After all, it is written in Guilliman's Codex Astartes that serious tactics should be to cover with fire first, and not to try to suppress fire. If that doesn't work, call the Imperial Navy to provide fire support from high orbit.

This is what serious Astartes are like. Who is going to play some mid-range sniper game with you?
A series of magic bombings made the air in the entire street feel fresh. (Ionization produces ozone)

Perhaps because he is loyal enough, even the first disarming spell by Bourne is very fresh and refined - other people's disarming spell is a red light, which can be emitted from Bourne's psychic scepter. The disarming curse looks like a bowl-thick searchlight ray - it hits the body and is said to "disarm you", but in fact it is "destroying the life of a bastard".

With just this blow, Director Weasel not only lost the wand in his hand, but his whole body flew out of the broken window of the pet store as if he had been hit by a troll's club.

Thanks to this, he was able to avoid the next few psychic lightning bolts, and was only knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the explosion caused by the psychic lightning.

This scene made all three Weasley brothers stunned, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"Merlin's beard!"

At the corner of the street, there was suddenly a mantra that was somewhat familiar to Bourne, and his Grandpa Horace also came to find him.

And standing with him, in addition to Penello and Professor Kettleburn, there was also an old wizard known to everyone present——

Dumbledore also arrived.

However, the old wizard's eyes were neither on Bourne nor on the stunned Director Weasel.

His two eyes were all locked on the "Mr. Zabini" who was hit by the killing curse.

Moreover, he actually raised his old wand towards the monster that had taken its last breath: "Expecto Patronum!"

Very rarely, Dumbledore cast a spell and used the Patronus Charm to summon a silver-white phoenix.

And as soon as this phoenix appeared, as it flapped its wings, a breeze mixed with dots of silver light swept across the entire street in front of it.

At this time, everyone present saw a hazy lavender shadow, which was peeling off the body of the monster pressing on the body of the manticore, and slowly extended in the direction of Bourne. .

Horace also immediately raised his cedar wand. Despite his age, this old man rarely knew how to rub sand.

"Oppugno!"

Those bricks, ruins, tattered banners and other things scattered on the street suddenly turned into darts with the emblem of poisonous snakes, and there was a faint green halo on their tips. , and then they all shot toward the lavender monster shadow.

These darts are all poisonous.

Because spells and potions are both magic and have something in common with each other, potion masters like Horace, who have superb transfiguration skills, can actually make the things they transform have certain magical powers in a short time. medicinal properties.

For most potion masters, the simplest and most stable potions they can make are usually poisons.

Anyway, it’s to hurt people rather than save them.

They don't need to follow a lot of rules and regulations.

The hundreds of darts that Horace temporarily conjured up with magic spells were all, without exception, laced with poison that could harm ghosts.

And with the "thousands of bullets fired", almost all of these darts passed through the middle of the lavender shadow, and then "thumped" into the ground.

However, these darts, which can cause poison to ghosts and other spirits, do not seem to completely stop the movement of the phantom, but only make it change the direction of movement.

Originally, it was constantly moving towards Bourne, but when it was disturbed by the "volley of thousands of bullets", it immediately turned around and flew towards the blond wizard nearest to it.

"Ahhhh——!"

Seeing this, Gilderoy Lockhart, who seemed to be possessed by a degenerate god today, suddenly screamed in fright.
