Warhammer 40k: Melee Warriors

Most souls return to the warp tide. To obtain a portion of souls from this natural process, necessary sacrifices and guidance are essential.

Slaughter, debauchery, corruption, conspiracy.

The rituals they built around these four concepts have extended into countless forms, effortlessly extracting a continuous stream of souls from the bloated and vast lands of the human empire.

So how did the emperor draw souls to his throne?

Loyalty and sacrifice?

This is not an easy concept to achieve...

To what extent is loyalty considered loyalty? To what extent is sacrifice considered sacrifice considered sacrifice?

Overly complex concepts are not conducive to separating the entangled souls; in this process, simplicity is often the better.

Not to mention that the emperor is not a true god, but merely acts within the boundary of being neither god nor god, which is ridiculous as he binds his own hands.

If he could truly guide trillions of human souls to the throne with the power of a demigod, the hierarchy of this warp would have changed long ago.

After secretly mocking the Emperor's boring insistence, Khorne had to start thinking about how to prevent Koken from being fooled by that cunning Emperor.

Khorne had no intention of brutally destroying the trade license and then showering Komi with endless bloodlust, which would do nothing but turn Komi into a boring Chaos Egg.

What if we pull Komi into the illusion and promise him something?

If Koken is willing to offer his blood and victory for Him, Khorne will generously provide him with better equipment and legions...

"I am Rogdorn..."

A hallucination echoed in his mind, giving Khorne a headache.

Those who can catch the emperor's eye must have something extraordinary about them, and perhaps their unwavering will is one of those qualities.

Khorne had witnessed it all before. When Koga fought those powerful enemies, he often found himself in dire straits, but this World Devourer remained silent, refusing to utter any praise, and simply hacked and slashed, trading his life for another.

If the illusion has been discussed for over a hundred years without reaching an agreement, wouldn't that be even more awkward?

No, no...

We must find a clever and subtle way to win Komi's submission.

Khorne caught a glimpse of the headless body of the masked one; the great demon's body, clad in brass armor, had not yet vanished in flames.

Right... wouldn't letting him experience the thrill of being a bloodthirsty maniac be a simple and direct solution?

A powerful body possesses the immense strength to overturn tanks and smash city gates, and the weapons it wields can easily smash mortals into a bloody mess. The warmth of flowing blood and the crisp sound of breaking bones are amplified to a pleasurable degree in the demon's perception, and rage can be transformed into a superb stimulant, making the killing process never stop.

Ah... he'll get addicted to it.

Khorne firmly believed this, and he did not think that the World Eater, who had surprised Him so many times, could resist the temptation of becoming a demon.

To further corrupt Komi and mock the Emperor, Khorne also organized a grand Blood Arena, hoping that Komi could climb to the top of the championship by stepping on the skulls of the defeated.

He also commanded the Blood Cultists to revolt in several Imperial Worlds, igniting a bottom-up war that used vast amounts of blood and corpses to build the portal crown to welcome the Skull Champion of Khorne.

Ah... I only have one job left now.

That is to examine whether Koken is qualified to be promoted to a bloodthirsty maniac!

With a flick of his finger, Khorne sent the remaining seven great demons working in the Bonewood Forest to the entrance of the sawmill. If Koji could defeat them one by one, he would be worthy of Khorne's extravagant care.

"Forget your emperor, wallow in blood." Khorne said in a low voice, and the seven bloodthirsty freaks that had flashed to the door in an instant obeyed His command, pounding on the sturdy door with their weapons.

Bang bang bang!

The gate, made of bone and wood, was bent and broken. Gu Jian and the others turned their heads sharply and saw the seven mad demons covered in evil aura. Even Gu Jian, who was fearless, felt a sense of retreat.

Last time, fighting Slaanesh and Tzeentch almost cost him his life. This time, fighting seven great demons, he's afraid he'll die a horrible death!

Chapter 190: Don't you dare cause trouble! Watch my performance!

"How did their reinforcements arrive so quickly?"

Sharon said in horror, his spell, which he had just begun, was interrupted by the sudden change.

Komi gritted his teeth, drew his power sword, and said sternly, "Don't worry about those problems, hurry up and think of a way to break the curse! I'll hold the fort for you."

"I'm in!" Bennett shouted, activating his claws with a fighting spirit, but Komi felt that Bennett was more likely to be suicidal than willing to live, which was why he was so eager to step forward.

"Me too!" Ferren shouted, taking a few steps to stand on the other side of Koji, aiming his explosive gun at the roaring, approaching bloodthirsty freaks.

"And me!" Finally, it was Antoine, the emperor's son, whose strength was second only to Komi. He jumped out from behind Komi and landed steadily in front of him.

The three sheltered Komi in the center, and the sight of the team, bound by life and death together, made Ferren feel an urge to shed tears, moved by the brotherhood forged in battle.

But Koji didn't give him a pleasant look. He kicked Bennett in the waist, punched Feren's helmet, and then gave Antoine a vicious hook kick to his exposed groin.

joke...

If Gu Jian were to step forward alone, these bloodthirsty monsters would most likely fight him one by one, and might even fight each other first because of the order in which they were to engage.

Bennett, Antoine, and Ferren stepped forward, but they did nothing to help except give the bloodthirsty maniacs a reason to attack.

Not to mention the curse hasn't been lifted yet. What if Gu Jian manages to kill all three of them, and the three of them get chopped to death by the Bloodthirsty Demon?

Faced with such an overwhelmingly powerful enemy, Komi still had more faith in his own strength.

Bennett lay to one side, unable to stand up for a long time, questioning Gu Jian about what was wrong with him.

Several of Feren's teeth were knocked out, and he spun around in place several times without recovering from the dizziness.

At this moment, only Antoine remained conscious. He locked Komi's legs tightly with his own, enjoying the intense pain coming from his lower body while also thinking about rubbing against Komi's thigh.

"Get out of my way, all of you! Don't cause any more trouble!" Gu Jian roared, slashing Antoine's cheek with a chop, forcing him to loosen his clenched thighs. Then, he used both hands to lift Antoine and throw him behind him.

Facing the approaching, bloodthirsty monster, Komi drew his sword and arrogantly pointed it out, asking, "One-on-one duel or group battle! You choose one!"

The announcement halted the demons, who first observed each other before unleashing a roar filled with battle lust.

"I am the strongest among you! I should be the one to fight him first!"

"Bullshit! You're just a piece of trash who can only rub bone wood! I'm the strongest among you!"

"Shut up, all of you! You're all too noisy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!!"

As expected, the bloodthirsty demons started fighting amongst themselves because there were too few enemies. They wielded their hammers, planes, and saws recklessly, slashing at the other demons as if they wanted to eliminate them as quickly as possible.

However, such battles were not enough to determine life or death; they only added a few more scars to their bodies, and the muscles that had been weakened by heavy work were activated in this kind of melee, which was like a warm-up.

The seven great demons fought one after another, and soon the bloodthirsty demon with no more fights left the melee. Under the angry shouts of the other demons, it took its weapon and attacked Gu Jian.

A heavy hammer in the left hand, a long nail in the right.

This bloodthirsty maniac was more meticulous in his work in the Bone and Blood Forest. He hurled a handful of long nails at Komi, but the torrential attack could not shake Komi's calm mind.

Komi steadied himself, gripped his sword with both hands, and pushed his superhuman body to its limit, knocking down the spikes that were taller than a person one by one.

This harassment allowed the bloodthirsty monster to easily advance to Komi's side, and the huge hammer head slammed down head-on with terrifying force!

However, the moment the harassing spikes were thrown, the fate of this bloodthirsty madman was sealed. Komi's passive ability preferred enemies who would confront him head-on and fight to the death.

The heavy blow, carrying the power of five explosions, collided violently with the Great Demon's hammerhead, knocking the hammer away to everyone's astonished yet expected gaze.

The bloodthirsty maniac's chest was thus exposed naked before Gu Jian. With his other hand, he conjured new long nails from blood, attempting to interfere with Gu Jian's attack. However, this short distance was enough for Gu Jian to strike several times before he could attack.

The bloodthirsty berserker was forced back step by step by being slashed, unable to put up any effective resistance. In the end, Komi controlled the golden fist, which was carrying a fully stacked new passive skill, and slammed it into his waist and abdomen. This blow directly shattered his body, which was full of sword marks and grooves.

Another bloodthirsty freak has fallen at Komi's hands. Although it is not one of the high-ranking demons under Khorne who is blessed by the gods, it is enough to give mortals, and even organized groups of Space Marines, a major headache.

Even the usually silent Vashtor couldn't help but secretly admire Komi's power. He had thought Komi was just a lucky one who had glimpsed a corner of dark knowledge, but he never expected that Komi also possessed a powerful strength that matched his knowledge.

It seems we have gained another reliable ally in the future...

As Vashtor thought this, he then wrote Marcus's name together with Abaddon's, considering which of the two was more worthy of his investment and courtship.

The sound of one bloodthirsty berserker falling also brought an end to the melee of the remaining bloodthirsty berserkers. They were panting heavily with excitement, staring intently at Komi, their thirst for fighting a powerful enemy turning into saliva flowing from their sharp teeth.

"I go first!"

"I go first!"

"I go first!"

The three great demons roared and struggled, none of them wanting to give up this opportunity for a bloody battle. As a result, they clumsily and hastily rushed in front of Gu Jian and launched an attack.

Hey! Where's your martial ethics?

How disappointed must Khorne have been?

However, Khorne was not disappointed. He saw how easily Komi defeated a bloodthirsty demon, so he secretly urged the three great demons to come up together and test Komi's limits.

Koji was startled, but when he saw the bloodthirsty demons looking at him with the same hunger that Antoine looked at his naked body, he couldn't say anything to complain. He could only curse inwardly and rely on his relatively small and agile size to dodge and weave in the storm formed by the three great demons.

The Great Demon slashed furiously at Komi, but didn't forget to attack the interferers beside him. The front of the Great Saw of Man-Splitting cleaved towards Komi, while the back ripped open the Great Demon's neck, and scalding blood cascaded down like a waterfall.

The three great demons attacked in a chaotic and swift manner, leaving Komi with almost no opportunity to retaliate. This reminded him of the painful times he experienced when playing Souls-like games and being ganged up on by monsters with high health and attack power.

No matter how sturdy the Terminator power armor is, it is extremely vulnerable to these weapons formed from subspace energy. Komi felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest by the Great Demon's knee, and his plate-like ribs almost split open along with his breastplate.

He rolled over and glanced at the remaining three great demons behind the three-headed demon, who were sharpening their weapons. He immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

Will these four great demons charge at him together after he defeats these three great demons, without hindering each other?

If Khorne could hear Komi's thoughts, he would happily give Komi a thumbs up, saying that his guess was indeed correct.

Working under Khorne means certain death if you fail, and victory means being thrown into an even more brutal battlefield. Khorne's men never have a moment of peace.

If you want to change this fate, you can only find a way to force Khorne to his knees and make him submit to your feet.

Komi really wanted to curse at this moment, but he simply didn't have the energy to urge Sharon to hurry up. He could only narrowly dodge a slash and then hurriedly pull out the trade license stained with the Emperor's blood once again.

Like the Masked One, the three great demons were terrified by the Emperor's blood. However, before Koken could catch his breath, a cold snort came from above, and the blood tide surrounding the Bonewood Forest condensed into a huge shield, shielding all the power cast by the Golden Throne.

"Shalang! Hurry up!" Seeing that the demons who were filled with fear and confusion were gradually recovering, Komi shouted angrily, drew his sword and charged forward. By the time the three great demons regained their senses, one of them had already been defeated by Komi.

Now, only five great demons remain, relentlessly attacking Komi. This number, which is all too familiar to Komi, is also triggering a sublimation of inexplicable power.

Chapter 191: Demons and Conspiracy

There's little to no teamwork among these bloodthirsty monsters; they're already doing their utmost by not swinging their axes at their teammates' heads.

Even with such clumsy teamwork, Gu Jian broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that the Emperor's Blood was no longer as intimidating to the Great Demon as before. Gu Jian could only place his hopes of defeating the demons on his passive ability, the ancient coins, and those excessively ancient and broken gauntlets.
