Warhammer: Angron Training Manual

Chapter 55 The Limits of Carbon-Based Organisms

"Hu-hu-"

The beastman easily pushed aside an Ogryn standing in front of him and walked to the front.

It was breathing heavily, and its chest, which was as hard as steel, was rising and falling.

The gas exhaled by this monster was scalding hot, and in the eyes of bystanders, its nostrils looked like two machines that were constantly spewing steam.

The eyes, like two red gemstones, scanned every gladiator in front of them, and finally settled on Yochuka and Theseus, who were at the back of the gladiators.

Two children, these were its first target.

The surging murderous intent brought by the Butcher's Nails tormented the Beastman all the time. The remaining rationality in its head only allowed it to instinctively select the top priority targets to be brutally killed in battle.

"woo woo woo woo--"

The beastmen's cries were not deafening, but rather sounded like whimpers of pain.

In stark contrast to the painful whimpers that symbolized weakness and incompetence, the Beastman's huge body roared like a tank.

A humanoid tank made of muscles and steel bones, anyone who sees it can't help but sigh that this is the limit of the physical strength of carbon-based creatures.

Qin Xia only needed to concentrate for less than two seconds to crush a person's head, but to crush this ghost thing's head required not only time, but also concentration.

"Woo!"

The beastman whimpered again and swung the axe wildly, accidentally chopping off the head of an Ogryn as he passed by, then continued to run forward without any pause.

This humanoid tank even stirred up red sand as it ran, forming a sandstorm that covered wherever it passed.

“Brother…” Yochuka was so frightened by the scene that his legs went weak and he couldn’t move.

It was not easy for the boy, who had never faced such a scene, to call out to his brother Yochula.

Fear and despair instantly filled the boy's heart, and the emotion was so strong that Angron, who was standing in the front, could sense it.

Emotions such as fear, despair and powerlessness slowly transformed, also transforming in Angron's heart, but compared to a boy who clearly knew that he was powerless, Angron, as the Primarch, when faced with these emotions, felt a rage that wanted to strangle the ultimate source of these emotions.

And the ultimate source is the beastman in front of us.

"Ah!!!" Angron suddenly roared and rushed towards the beastman with an axe in hand.

The two creatures, both of which were much larger than normal humans, engaged in combat a second later, with Angron charging at the beastman with all his might.

After a muffled sound, the beastman's charge was interrupted, and his huge body was actually knocked backwards by the original body.

Angron's situation was no better than the Beastman. At the moment of the collision, the Beastman thrust his giant horns to knock the Primarch away, leaving two deep bloody holes on his chest.

At this moment, Angron felt that he still had too little combat experience and was not strong enough.

But if Qin Xia could hear his inner voice, he would tell him: "Even if you are an adult and have experienced countless battles, this damn thing that has been strengthened to an unknown extent and has the Butcher's Nails can still cut you down."

The Primarch, who was less than five years old, was just about to get up from the ground when the Beastmen rushed in front of him and chopped him down with a weapon much larger than the axe in his hand.

A white barrier condensed, and Qin Xia suddenly flashed in front of the original body, easily blocking the attack with his psychic power.

"Get up." Qin Xia shouted, looking around.

The other gladiators had already started fighting with the three Ogryns, and Yochuka was running in the opposite direction. The little girl named Theseus looked younger than Yochuka, but she had a gloomy look in her eyes and was circling behind the beastman with two daggers in her hands.

While he was observing, the beastman chopped down with an axe, and cracks appeared on the psychic barrier. Qin Xia quickly focused on responding to the attack, and the barrier was restored to its original state. In less than three seconds, he withstood several chops from the beastman.

When Qin Xia was about to focus all his attention on defending against the attack, Angron stood up, pushed the beastman away, and fought with him.

Now Angron became the first obstacle between the children and the beastmen, and was therefore attacked by the beastmen with all their strength.

Even though the Primarch was young, he was still a demigod after all. This demigod could instantly perceive the weaknesses of the Beastmen's bodies, such as the joints and the places where tendons and bones were connected. He could also swing heavy weapons at an extremely fast frequency to hit the Beastmen's vital points.

But no matter how they attacked, the beastmen wouldn't even have the slightest pause.

The murderous intent brought by the Butcher's Nails had made it completely incapable of feeling pain, and the scars left in the battle would only give it a momentary relief from the torture of the Butcher's Nails.

"Run!" Angron roared behind the beastman.

The weapons of the Primarch and the monster collided, sparks flew, and the Primarch used his free hand to grab the beastman's neck and headbutted the monster in front of him.

The monster was stunned for a moment, then in anger it headbutted Angron, causing the primarch to stagger back several steps and almost fall.

As the beastmen tried to pursue the victory, Qin Xia, who was behind the primarch, released psychic lightning.

Frost spread across the red sand, white psychic lightning enveloped the beastman's body, and a burnt smell quickly spread.

The beastman roared continuously due to the electric shock, and his huge body retreated several steps and half-knelt.

"I can shock you like this all day long!" Qin Xia stared and walked forward. With every step he took, the white lightning released from his fingers became more and more violent, pinning the beastman to the ground.

But then Qin Xia stopped releasing psychic lightning because he saw a young figure rushing towards him from behind the beast man.

That was Theseus.

The Primarch had just shouted "Run" to Theseus who was running behind the Beastman, but the girl still kept running forward with a cold and determined look in her eyes. The moment she got close to the Beastman, she jumped up and jumped onto his neck, raised the dagger with both hands and stabbed it into the Beastman's eyes.

The beastman roared in pain, reached out to grab Theseus who was stabbing him non-stop, and threw the girl dozens of meters away easily as if she were a piece of trash.

Theseus was still a child after all, and her face was filled with fear, but she finally drew an arc in the air and fell into a layer of ice and snow that existed abruptly above the red sand.

Climbing out of the snow, Theseus looked around in surprise. She remembered that there was no pile of snow at all.

The girl looked ahead and saw Qin Xia nodding silently to her and retracting his arm. Only then did she realize that it was this wizard who saved her.

Of course, a ball of snow could not leave a child flying dozens of meters away unscathed, but Qin Xia did not release a ball of snow to stop Theseus. What he released was a ball of spiritual energy. The ice and snow were just special effects.

Turning around, Qin Xia raised both hands towards the beastman, releasing psychic lightning with one hand and spreading the other hand into a claw shape facing forward.

Qin Xia stretched out his hand and twisted it slowly, as if he was holding something.

Inside the beastman's body, his blood began to boil and his tendons and bones began to twist, as if a giant hand was grabbing his body and twisting it hard.

If an ordinary human faced Qin Xia's psychic attack, he would have been dead by now, but the beast man could still hold on for a while.

However, Angron, who had just been knocked unconscious by the beastman's headbutt, had recovered by now.

The Primarch shook his head, and when the dizziness wore off, he roared and pounced on the kneeling Beastman. He grabbed the cable of the Butcher's Nail extending from his brain with both hands, and pulled it while roaring angrily.

"Uuuuuuuuuu——"

The wailing sound rang out again. The beastman was in so much pain that he lost the ability to move. At the same time, his incredibly strong body could no longer resist the psychic attack. Before he died of pain, Qin Xia, who had time to concentrate on calling on psychic energy, twisted his spine apart.
