Kingdom Come: Deliverance, but Warhammer 40k

Anastasius's reaction, however, confused the defenders.

Of all the knowledge they could access about chaos.

I've never encountered a demon like this before... Perhaps this is how demons attack?

Some well-informed mercenaries had heard that demons in the warp could transform into the very things a person desires.

It stirs up the desires of mortals, corrupting their souls with beauty, but the guy in front of me doesn't seem to fit the bill.

How could anyone react to something like this?

The mercenaries looked at each other in bewilderment.

Someone asked the person next to them in a low voice.

"...Is this thing really a demon?"

"How would I know?"

"Perhaps it's just an ugly-looking alien who escaped from the nobleman's pet room?"

"Maybe they're lying to us."

Just as the two sides were deadlocked and the atmosphere became increasingly strange.

Several well-trained-looking messengers ran up from the rear of the defensive line.

They made their way through the crowd and whispered a few words in the ear of the leading mercenary.

He was taken aback at first, then looked back at Henry suspiciously, and finally nodded.

The group discussed the matter for a moment.

Then someone raised their hand and shouted at the two people and the demon.

"Knight Henry!"

"Lord Cass wants to see you. You may go in."

Balu let out a long sigh of relief and turned to show off to his companions:

"I knew they wouldn't make things too difficult for me, after all, we were colleagues..."

The next sentence followed immediately.

"As for the other two."

Thomas Jr. pointed the gun at the air.

"A fool, a devil, they must stay outside... I hope you can cooperate."

Balu's smile froze.

"etc."

"What do you mean?"

The old mercenary protested at the top of his lungs.

  

"Shouldn't you let me in first?"

"I should be the most harmless person here."

Henry glanced at him.

"Aren't doctors the most harmless?"

Balu opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat for a long time. He found that he couldn't find the right words to refute him.

Also.

He turned to look at Anastasius, who was crouching on the ground.

The "Warspace Demon" cried with snot and tears streaming down its face, only finding solace in the few tentacles that clung to its body.

"Even after becoming a demon, he's still the same. If it were me, I would have stopped eating Grox's flesh a long time ago."

The doctor suddenly looked up.

"I heard everything!"

"Couldn't you have told me behind my back! You idiot who's never eaten anything good in your life!"

Balu slapped away the tentacles that flew from the demon's body.

"Your emotions are much more complex now!"

Henry also noticed something was amiss.

The changes brought about by the power of the warp clearly did not stop at Anastasius's physical structure.

His inner emotions seemed to be magnified.

When I'm scared, I'm even more terrified than usual; when I'm sad, I vent my emotions without regard for the occasion.

Those emotions that were once suppressed by reason are now being released without reservation.

Demons are slaves to such extreme emotions; their minds can hold nothing but the beliefs of their corresponding evil gods.

But Anastasius's emotions were clearly more complete.

However, further research still needs to be conducted by professionals on board the ship, and the immediate priority is to prove to everyone that the doctor is harmless.

"I should go now. Wish me luck, maybe I can get a temporary residence permit for a devil."

Henry unsheathed the chainsaw sword from his back.

He casually tossed it to the doctor.

"Please keep this safe for me."

Anastasius instinctively reached out his tentacles to catch the hilt of the sword.

But upon contact

"hiss--!"

The newly born demon gasped in shock, as a puff of white smoke suddenly rose from where it gripped the sword hilt.

It felt like pressing a red-hot iron block onto your palm.

It hissed and crackled.

The doctor's face was contorted in pain.

Several hands took turns fiddling with the chainsaws, but in the end, they couldn't resist and threw them at Balu.

"It bit me!"

Balu glared at him, unable to stand its affectation.

"That's a sword!"

"It really bit me! You should keep it safe."

Anastasius handed the sword to Balu with his tentacles, then frantically shook his hand.

My palm was already charred black.

However, the wound did not heal as expected, and the demon's body resisted contact with the affected area.

They would rather willingly give up a piece of flesh from the contact area than continue to experience the pain.

Henry looked at the chainsaw sword with some surprise.

Is it because of sadomasochism?

Or is it...?

Is it yourself who has truly changed?

He didn't think about it any further.

He turned and walked into the elevator platform.

……

along the way.

The garrison did not obstruct them further, nor did anyone dare to.

However, everyone's eyes held a complex expression.

Henry's reputation had already spread among the survivors after he killed the rotten flies.

Some say he is a manifestation of the emperor, while others say he is the source of the disaster, a demon disguised as a human.

Upon closer inspection, these mercenaries realized that the legendary knight Henry seemed to be just a big boy...

Even though everyone knows he's dangerous, for some reason they feel a sense of security.

Henry passed through the gate and arrived at the makeshift meeting place that Cass had prepared for him.

It was actually just a small area pieced together from a few wooden tables, with a cloth barely covering it to avoid suspicion.

The map is laid out on the table.

Ammunition boxes that hadn't been cleaned were still lying around.

Cass stood by the table.

Not long has passed since we last parted ways.

But he looked more than ten years older.

Stubble had already sprouted, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were a few more gray hairs on the edge of his military cap.

"Have you found what you need to destroy, knight?"

"Found it."

"But it hasn't truly entered the material world yet, and I can't destroy it now."

Cass was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, a laugh that seemed somewhat painful.

"I still can't believe what you say, Knight Henry."

"If it were someone else..."

"I've already put him in jail."

"And let's also label him as a spreader of heresy."

He raised a glass of water to offer to Henry, but Henry refused.

"so."

Do you believe it now?

Cass shook his head and drank the murky liquid in his glass in one gulp.

"No, I'm scared. I'm afraid you're lying to me."

"I also hope that what you said is true."

"The people on this ship can't wait much longer..."

He leaned back in his chair, his voice sounding tired.

"Whether it's the courtroom or the navy."

"If they had actually known there was a Nurgle blasphemous artifact on this ship, they probably would have arrived sooner..."

"It's also possible they'll choose to blow the entire ship and the crown to pieces."

"But at least."

"A glorious death"

After he finished speaking, he poured himself another glass, as if he now had to rely on this strange drink to keep himself alive.

"I heard."

"You brought back a demon."

"Um."

"It's the doctor you gave me."

Cass paused for a moment.

"Oh……"

"It's him."

"What was his name again? I clearly remember it... Damn it, what's going on?"

Anastasius.

Henry provided the answer for him.

"I can assure you that he is not the demon you imagine."

"Perhaps he was infected with a foreign parasite, which is why he looks like this."

"This strange disease must be quite common on the ships of wandering merchants."

"I hope you will give him a chance to have the chaos contamination checked."

The words had barely left his mouth when he spoke to the center of the table.

Suddenly, a fleshy bulge the size of an egg appeared.

Henry's eyelids twitched; he had a bad feeling.

next second.

An eye slowly emerged from the wood.

It blinked.

"Henry".

"Did you call me?"
