Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 194 The Spirit Race Hunters' Guild
Slauda activated the personal teleportation device on her Dimensional Spider Clan armor, instantly disappearing from her spot, causing the bombs fired by the Honor Guard members to miss their target.

The two sharpshooters did not engage in a futile search.

The Father of Genetics has sent information on the characteristics, weaponry, and origins of each faction, along with footage of his battles along the way, to the members of the Honor Guard in more than a dozen installments.

The Shadows of Order, through their combined combat experience, rapidly digested and understood the teachings of the Primarch. They are the most knowledgeable armed force among humanity regarding the Eldar warriors of the various tribes.

The two sharpshooters knew that the Dimensional Spiders were different from most other tribes that came from Kane's side; they originated from tiny but aggressive spiders in the Infinite Circuit.

Dimensional spiders can perform short-distance teleportation, disappearing without a trace and then reappearing in sight in an instant.

They were the bravest of all the warriors of the tribes, traversing His kingdom unprotected while the great enemy Slaanesh coveted their souls.

After a short-range teleport, the dimensional spider reappears in an instant, launching a surprise attack on the enemy.

The two sharpshooters immediately retreated into the midst of the five honor guard members wielding power swords. After several exchanges, they had learned how to deal with them and no longer needed the Father of Genetics' help.

However, as they retreated to a secluded spot, they suddenly discovered that the red-armored warriors with battle runes painted on their chests were not targeting them, but the Primarch.

He appeared behind the Father of Genesis, raised his sword which shone brightly, and slashed at the Primarch.

The honor guard members immediately alerted the father of genetics via telepathy.

Before their thoughts could even form, they saw the Primarch, as if he had foreseen it, not turn around, but dodge the attack by sidestepping and thrusting his sword into the abdomen of the Eldar Warrior.

Ning Lu did not foresee it; his eyes flashed with light, and the trajectory of Si Zhan's short-distance, high-speed jump was exceptionally clear in his "subspace insight" vision.

The charged blade tore through Slauda's Dimensional Spider Clan armor, wounding his abdomen and staining it with blood.

With a thought, Slau Da leaped into the Sea of ​​Souls, the piercing screams of his kin's deaths echoing in his ears.

Si Zhan's body trembled slightly as he sensed the presence of a formidable enemy.

The Eldar call Him the Thirsty Lady, or Sai Lansresh.

The psionic array set up by Slau Da flickered with colorful light, creating a mental barrier in the warp.

A terrifying shriek rang in Si Zhan's ears, and he felt the tide of souls crashing against the barrier. He knew his time was running out.

Slau Da puts on the "war mask," harnessing his anger to suppress the instinctive fear that surges within him, and entering a combat state that makes his thoughts and actions even faster.

The ritual of war spread into the real world at a faster pace than usual, finding an anchor point for the soul.

Slough Dale leaped back into the real world. Before he even landed, he could already sense the blue force field.

Si Zhan jumped into subspace again, and he thought in surprise.

How is that possible? How did he pinpoint my location?

The first time Nimrod discovered my sneak attack, it was probably due to his fighting instincts.

The second time, he attacked first, indicating that he could foresee my location after I returned to the real world.
Slough Dahl bitterly realized the harsh truth: the equipment he had chosen for hunting Primarchs was faulty.

He chose the Dimensional Spider Branch armor because he didn't want to confront the Primarch head-on.

According to his battle predictions, he would use countless flash attacks to exhaust the Primarch's patience and force Nimrod to expose a weakness.

But Si Zhan realized he was wrong; the Dimensional Spider's skills were useless.

Having completed the six tribes' paths, the War God had better options, but he chose a useless combination.

After realizing that his beliefs were wavering, Slau Da skillfully manipulated the "war mask" to drive away negative emotions.

Enraged, his thoughts raced like lightning.

He is a warrior; he can find a way to defeat the enemy.

Si Zhanyue returned to the real world and immediately saw a black afterimage rushing towards him. He swung his sword to block the charged blade.

Slau Da's eyes narrowed; the Eldar's innate keen senses made him notice.

During the clash of blades, his sword caused slight damage to the runes on the power sword.

The monkey's senses could not detect this imperceptible damage, but he was Kane's mortal incarnation, and he knew all weapons, including the monkey's.

Slau Da instantly entered the Howling Banshee state, letting out a piercing howl.

Lion mane swayed from the top, and howling banshee runes flashed on the forehead.

The surging howl was amplified by the psionic amplifier built into the Banshee Mask, and the mental shockwave struck Nimrod's mind.

Nimrod knew that the Howling Banshee originated from the goddess Mora, who desired all the wisdom in her blood, but only the god of war, Kane, could harm her.

So He had his two daughters, along with Kane's, run to his partner's ear and howl, tormenting the God of War. To end the torment, Kane, driven to desperation, finally took matters into his own hands and cut off his partner's finger, thus allowing Mora to successfully obtain the wisdom contained within His blood.

Therefore, the Howling Banshees are the most terrifying of all the tribes of warriors, whose ancestors used their shrieks to torment the god of war himself.

There is no gender discrimination in the Ark world, but the Howling Banshee Shrine is particularly special, and it usually only accepts women.

In the mythology of the Eldar, the banshee is the daughter of the goddess of the underworld, but a very small number of men will embark on the path of the howling banshee, and Slau Da is an exception who went to the end.

Ninglu felt a piercing shriek echoing in his brain cavity. He bypassed the first layer of the Thelma state of mind and stepped directly into the second layer.

His physical energy instantly transformed into mental power, and "Kundalini" shut out the howling.

Entering the Howling Banshee state, Si Zhan transforms into a high-speed melee warrior.

When the Primarch and the War God clashed head-on, even the keenly perceptive Shadow of Order could only barely make out their afterimages.

All they could see were the shimmering silver and dark blue trails left by the sword blades in the air, and the bright, dazzling sparks that flew everywhere.

Si Zhan summoned every bit of power, agility, and skill he had mastered in all the paths, but he found that the Primarch could withstand every attack, leaving sword wounds on his body.

Slau Da felt his body was injured; he had reached his speed limit and could no longer maintain his current ferocious speed.

But he succeeded; the Primarch's power sword cracked as it clashed with the Vaal Sword.

With a piercing screech like shattering glass, Slaughter laughed.

He raised the Fire Dragon Fusion Gun with his left hand, unleashing Kane's destructive power and forcing back the Honor Guard members who tried to approach.

Slau Da poured his last strength into the Way of the Howling Banshee, letting out a terrifying howl as he darted away from the Power Gauntlets with explosive speed, swinging his sword toward Ninglu.

When the sword was an arm's length away from Ninglu, he suddenly saw the ring on the middle finger of the Gene Primarch flash with a blue light mixed with blazing white light.

Ninglu's body then transformed into several flames, and his attack missed its mark.

Slau Da was shocked. He twisted his arms desperately, trying to avoid the six flames that were grabbing at him like hands.

He dodged two of the flames, but the flames he avoided suddenly turned and struck his arm.

The other four flames suddenly merged into one, transforming into a flaming sword that severed his arm.

Before Slau Da could feel the pain, his right arm was burned to ashes, and by the time he realized what was happening, the Val's Sword was already in Nimrod's hands.

Si Zhan looked at Ning Lu in shock. Ning Lu had transformed into several flames and launched an attack that was faster and more unpredictable than any fire-type psionicist he had ever seen, including his fellow spirit race members who were skilled in this art.

Neither the intelligence obtained by the agents nor the premonitions of the cult indicated that Nimrod had the ability to freely manipulate fire.

Flames emanated from the ring—could it be it?
Even if the ring grants him the ability to unleash flames, how could it cause him to become flames?
Slau Da clearly sensed that the Primarch's body had completely turned into flames.

His bewilderment was quickly swallowed by defeat; the Vaal Sword fell into Nimrod's hands, and he could no longer threaten the Primarch.

Nimrod gripped the Vaal Sword in his right hand, feeling the crimson chain on his little finger rapidly replenishing his depleted spiritual energy.

He just used the ring on his middle finger, and he has established a preliminary connection with it, confirming that its main ability is to unleash flames.

Ninglu confirmed that the ring corresponds to the magical item of the "Red Priest" pathway Sequence 4 "Iron Knight", which can be known from the color of the released flames and the fact that it "flames" him.

Ninglu swung his sword and severed Slau Da's right arm.

He then deactivated the runes on his power gauntlets, knocking Si Zhan unconscious.

Ninglu surveyed the battlefield and discovered that only 131 members of the Honor Guard remained.

A flicker of grief crossed his eyes. [This is the greatest loss I've suffered since returning to the Legion and leading the descendants.]
The Primarch then realized that sacrifice could also be meaningful, he told the Honor Guard members.

"From this day forward, the Eldar Hunters' Guild is established. You are the first members. You must bring your knowledge and experience back to your respective warbands and share them with your fellow warriors."

After Nimrod's spirituality was restored, he released "Imprisonment," trapping Slau Da in an amber-like liquid.

“Bring all the shadows of order back to the flagship for burial.”

"Take the Eldar corpses back for dissection, with members of the Eldar Hunters Guild participating, to deepen our understanding of the Eldar."

"Take all the other spoils of war back with you."

Two sidereal days later, Nimrod ordered Wilshire to leave behind a small squad to rebuild the Order of Arenis, and then ordered the Shadow of the Throne to set sail.

As the Shadow of the Kings sailed toward the Wheel of Flames, Nimrod brought Slau Da to the third level of the "Land of Chaos".

He looked at the black wolf lying motionless on the ground, giving up.
