Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 525 Inspector Schloss: I've Actually Been Imprisoned
Schloss's Obsidian Disc spaceship.

Thierry Vieira looked into the dimly lit depths of the passage, where five brain-eaters surrounded a figure wrapped in a gray cloak.

Under the hood, clumps of worms wriggled wildly.

Prosecutor Schloss raised the necrosis scepter in his hand, a disgusting light flashed, and then arcs of electricity accompanied by eerie light shot towards Thierry.

The "Weapon Master" had already taken the lead, launching a swift charge.

Necrotic rays shot across the obsidian deck, and the guards following the knight lord's charge saw a large hole left in the deck.

A weapon that blurs the lines between mechanical and organic matter, its foamy, viscous substance crackling like a disgusting surge of bodily fluids.

The shadowy figures of order swiftly circled around from both sides, the putrid slime making them feel nauseous.

Then comes anger.

The "War Masks" channeled their anger into power, their speed suddenly increasing, breaking the numbness caused by the neurotoxin, and colliding with Shloth's servants in an instant.

A "fighter" raises his sword horizontally to meet the falling crystal sword.

The explosion sent him staggering back two steps.

The brain-eater's tentacles lashed out at another guard member, and the "fighter" tumbled through the air before crashing to the ground.

An invisible force surged from the "fighter's" exceptionally strong body, and the psychic energy that resonated around him quickly dissipated.

After rolling twice, the "fighter" regained control of his body, and with a powerful push from his legs, he plummeted downwards.

With a bang, the "Fighter" crushed the psychic cage that bound him and landed calmly on the ground.

At the same time, another real "fighter" suddenly appeared in front of the brain eater, swinging his sword from right to left.

Amidst flashes of energy, he clenched his fist and slammed the power gauntlet into the brain-eater's abdomen.

As the brain-eater was shaken backward, a black figure rose into the air.

The "fighter" wielded his psionic longsword, channeling all his power into a downward, tilted slash from left to right.

Accompanied by a dazzling psychic light, the sword cleaved the brain-eater's entire torso in two at an angle.

The guards worked in perfect harmony. The strongest and most skilled in defense were responsible for the frontal assault, while the strongest attacked fiercely, severely injuring the brain-eater. Finally, the most perceptive swordsman seized the opportunity to finish it off.

The fighter's body withstood the psionic attack.

The "war mask" instilled in them a strong will, enabling them to resist neurotoxins.

In the blink of an eye, the five brain-eaters were killed by the guards.

They surrounded their lord and built a solid wall around him.

Inside the walls, amidst the swarm of worms, his glowing parasitic eyes allowed him to see everything in the dimly lit passageways.

The passageway, the shadow of order, everything transformed into distorted electromagnetic waves and light.

The observer's electromagnetic spectrum vision allowed him to see, from a supernatural perspective, the energy waves shimmering on the power sword and the supernatural fluctuations emanating from the psionic longsword...

He suddenly raised his arm, and an invisible shockwave swept around.

The personal energy shields of the Shadow Order members crackled and popped, and they trembled as if struck by lightning.

The hand holding the psionic longsword felt as if it were grasping a scorching hot iron.

Thierry sheathed his psionic longsword and loudly issued commands through the helmet's built-in communicator.

"Deactivate personal energy shield, sheath psionic longsword."

The brilliance of the psionic longsword quickly dissipated, and the Shadows of Order, wielding their power swords, stood ready for battle.

Thierry held a power sword wreathed in blue light. This sword, forged by Vaucan, was wider and thicker, with a blade one and a half times the length of a normal sword.

Other Order Shadows who obtain similar longswords will wield such weapons with both hands.

However, the "Weapon Master" can wield it with ease even when held in one hand.

The "Weapon Master" brandished his longsword and swiftly charged toward Shlos.

The worms writhed and twisted, and the necrotic scepter swung up.

On the curved, claw-like branches of the scepter, evil runes exuded an eerie, chilling aura.

Sting, sting, sting!
The malevolent and eerie force field collided with the disintegrating force field, producing a strange friction sound.

At the same time, Shlos's left arm instantly extended, lunging towards Thierry's waist like a giant python.

Thierry was prepared; he rolled to the left to avoid the tentacles, while simultaneously punching Shrews in the head.

With a sound like a balloon bursting, a large clump of worms was scattered and fell.

The parasitic eye tumbled in the air, flashing with a strange light.

The worms tumbled and rolled in the air, coalescing into a ball before suddenly springing up, enveloping the parasitic eye, and merging into the right arm.

The necrosis scepter suddenly extended and smashed down on Thierry.

The moment the "Weapon Master" landed, he immediately bounced up, dodging the scepter's attack.

He rolled and swung his longsword, slashing at Shloth.

With a ripping sound, the disintegrating force field tore through the corpse cloak and swept across a swarm of worms.

The worms scattered as if startled, then clumped together again.

The "Weapon Master" wielded his sword, mastering its edge with extraordinary swordsmanship, leaving numerous sword wounds on Schloss's body in an instant. Schloss's body writhed wildly, he had never been so disheveled since his promotion to Inspector.

He thought that after unleashing the attack and scattering the "Shadow of Order" fleet, he could then maneuver his ships and leave at his leisure.

Unexpectedly, the enemy actually broke into the ship and was so difficult to deal with.

If he delays any longer and other ships surround him, it will be difficult for him to escape, and he will lose a lot of assets.

The swarm of worms belonging to Inspector Schloss wriggled wildly, and the vocal apparatus wrapped inside its body extended out.

The uneven metal spheres translated the sticky, rubbing sounds of the worm-men into Ran Dan's language.

“Murderous minds, I command you to immediately kill the Shadow of Order.”

The aliens surging from the depths of the ship immediately launched a frenzied attack on the Shadows of Order.

Unlike their usual composure as they remained behind the lines of battle, the Overlords roared as they charged toward the aliens.

A dozen or so aliens raised their crab-shaped pincers, spewing out scorching molten streams of gray-green psionic flames like flamethrowers.

The "fighters" charged forward, determined not to allow the aliens to disturb their lord.

The molten lava crashed into the sheer, woven mesh shield, and most of it was deflected and hurled towards the obsidian walls on either side, crackling and burning them black.

The fighters kept moving, with sparks swirling around their black power armor.

They suddenly appeared in front of the alien and swung their swords at the crab's claws.

Wave after wave of alien attacks pounded against the "fighters'" rocky defenses, only to be destroyed time and again.

Despite suppressing Shlos, Thierry frowned. He hadn't inflicted any real damage on his opponent; his only achievement was destroying a large section of the necrotic cloak.

He recalled the Black Emperor's words: his only chance of winning was to stuff a grenade into Shrew's body.

The "Weapon Master" pulled a grenade from his waist with his left hand, staring at Shlos, looking for an opportunity.

The sword whirled, accompanied by a series of impacts, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Schloss's necrotic cloak shrank inwards, his upper body swelled, and a worm-like mass crashed into the obsidian ceiling.

The Parasitic Eye coldly locked onto the black-armored warrior below, then pounced down like a giant python hunting its prey.

As the "Weapon Master" turned to the side, he swung his power sword, the blade acting like a rein, missing the Necrosis Scepter and applying force from the opposite direction.

The Gekuaf technique propelled Sloth forward with inertia, and before he could react, the blade sliced ​​through his body.

The disintegrating force field hissed as it sliced ​​open his abdomen, scattering worms everywhere.

Thierry took the opportunity to rip off the safety and throw the armor-piercing grenade into Schloss's body.

The worms writhed and surged, then exploded with a loud bang, scattering the worms with a crackling sound.

Thierry stepped back, and he could see clearly that the grenade had not detonated inside Schloss's body.

A worm-like mass of flesh burrowed into his chest, encasing the grenade. He avoided the attack at the cost of some injury.

[Sloth's vitality is too tenacious, almost immortal.]

As my lord said, even destroying him with a grenade would be a result I could only achieve by giving it my all.
As Thierry pondered, a familiar, authoritative voice suddenly rang out behind him.

The voice came in Dunn's language and came from Howard Find.

"Extensioning and retraction are prohibited in this area!"

The "judge" raised his hand and pushed forward, speaking authoritatively.

Inspector Schloss let out a sneer through his voice, his evil intent spreading out.

The next instant, his body trembled violently.

The inspector cried out in alarm, horrified to discover that his psionic countermeasures were having absolutely no effect.

How is this possible?

Um?]
The inspector suddenly realized that his body, which he was arbitrarily writhing and shaping, was unresponsive.

The worms are bound to a certain area by some invisible force, and the shape of each clump of worms is exactly the same as before.

He tried desperately to break free of the invisible shackles, but the worm grew slower and slower.

[Damn it! I used up too much power!]
He looked on in horror, raising his arm to face the shadow of his own order.

Inspector Schloss heard the other party speak in a stern tone, in a language he couldn't understand at all, as an extremely viscous, transparent liquid flowed and tightly enveloped his body.

Layer upon layer of walls tightly encased the worms.

Inspector Schloss froze, thinking with a mixture of horror and bewilderment.

I have been imprisoned.

I've been imprisoned.
Thierry gazed at Schloss, who was encased in a huge piece of amber, and spoke to Howard, who had come to his side.

“As my lord said, it is much easier for you to deal with him than for me.”

“No,” Howard shook his head and said, “without you consuming his power beforehand, I wouldn’t have been able to ‘imprison’ him so easily.”

Judging from the fact that the worms could still move within a certain range, his "ban" could only suppress the inspectors at their peak, but could not completely restrict them.

He must deplete the opponent's strength to defeat them.
