The Bizarre Adventures of Cloud Hammer

"Obviously the Primarch loves you so much!"

Upon learning of Akultuna's death, the entire Emperor's Children Legion mourned him, and Fulgrim even cried. He told the others that there would never be another Emperor's Children like Akultuna.

"We admire you so much!"

Akurduna's existence showed the Emperor's Children another path, an 'imperfect' one.

"Why don't you come back and stop us."

Thinking about it now, perhaps it was with Akurduna's death that the Emperor's Children truly fell into a morbid pursuit of perfection, because the "imperfection" on the scale of the Emperor's Children no longer existed.

“If you were here…!!”

If Akurduna were still around, the Legion might not have been so obsessed with perfection.

"If you were here...!"

If Akurduna were still alive, Fulgrim might not have drawn the sword, let alone been bewitched by the demon.

"If you were here..."

Had Akurduna still been around, the Emperor's Children might not have become traitors, and might still be the glorious and proud Third Legion.

"if……"

If you were still here, would we still be in this abominable state?

But there is no if.

Eryu did not answer Lucius's question because he did not understand a single word. Everyone told him that in such situations he should remain silent and the other party would figure it out on his own.

Lucius' furious attack did give Eryu some surprises, but not many. After blocking the attack, Eryu used a shoulder bump to separate the two again. After this round of attack and defense, Lucius had several more wounds on his body.

"?"

Eryu found that Lucius's emotions seemed to be calming down, and he soon turned back into the 'normal' Lucius.

"Hmm~ It seems I said too much. I rarely lose control of my emotions. Maybe I was just too happy to see an old friend." Lucius said, turning his neck. "What did I say just now? It seemed like something really stupid."

"I never thought you'd still be alive, Teacher. If the Primarch knew, he'd be very happy, since you're his favorite offspring. But before that..."

The amount of medicine hanging on Lucius's power backpack was rapidly decreasing. He injected a large amount of medicine into his body at once to keep himself in peak condition.

"Let's end this battle first."

Lucius showed a happy expression, the stimulation of the drug made him extremely high.

The next second, Lucius rushed in front of Eryu, faster than before. He swung out several swords to attack Eryu's several parts, but was blocked by Eryu. He swung out the Whip of Torture in his right hand, trying to destroy Eryu's balance, but was also cut down by Eryu's sword.

"That's right! That's right. This is the First Swordsman of the Emperor's Children."

The Howling Soul Armor once again emitted sound waves, slowing Eryu's movements for a moment. Lucius took the opportunity to stab with his sword, but it missed. Eryu dodged the stab sideways, and his backhand sword was also blocked by Lucius.

Another round of sword fighting continued, and Er Yu felt that Lucius's attack had become much more fierce, or was this Lucius's true full strength state?

Er Yu struck Lucius with several sword strikes, adding a few more wounds to Lucius at specific locations. Just as he was wondering how many more wounds were left, Lucius took the opportunity to be distracted and left a scratch on Er Yu's shoulder armor.

"Oh~ I met you, teacher, how do you feel? I have made considerable progress in these ten thousand years." Lucius was quite proud. He began to feel that the gap between himself and the other party was not as big as he had imagined.

"I know you didn't use your full strength, but I'd like to know if I'll ever have the honor of seeing your second sword."

All the Emperor's Children knew that Akultona was a two-bladed swordsman, but few could make him draw his second sword, for he was unrivaled in the world with just one sword, and had never suffered a single scar in hundreds of years of battle. Only two people were known to have been able to make him draw his second sword, namely Fulgrim and Fennus, and these two were also the only two defeats he suffered in his combat career.

In other words, at present, only the Primarch can make Akurduna truly give his full strength. Can Lucius, who has been blessed by Slaanesh, achieve this feat?

The battle between the two continued, and Er Yu continued to inflict more wounds on Lucius. After carving the last mark on Lucius' chest, Er Yu finally completed his "work".

Two consecutive sword strikes forced Lucius back, and Eryu stuck his saber into the ground and moved his arms.

These two swords almost made Lucius unable to react, and also made Lucius discover something wrong. He looked at the wounds on his body and found that the location seemed familiar.

"Are you kidding me?"

Lucius remembered that the wounds on his body were exactly the same as the ones he had left on Koslo, and the position of each wound was exactly the same.

When sending Koslo back, Eryu observed the wounds on Koslo's body and decided to replicate them on Lucius.

This is also the reason why Eryu did not take the initiative to attack and why he fought with Lucius for so long. He was afraid that if he got serious and stabbed Lucius with two blows, he would be killed.

"Eryu, how long will it take you over there? Apu and Ou Ge are both done."

"immediately."

Luo Chen called just in time, and Er Yu was not going to continue playing with Lucius, so he let him end this boring battle.

After the activity, Eryu pulled out the saber from the ground. A pressure suddenly fell on Lucius, making him realize that the real battle was about to begin.

"Come on~"

Lucius looked at Eryu intently, and in an instant, Eryu disappeared from his sight.

on the right!

Lucius's intuition told him the direction of the attack, and he swung his sword and hit Er Yu.

Got it? No, that's not right!

Lucius found that what he hit was just an afterimage. He was confused by Eryu's body movements. At this time, Eryu had come to the left side, and the saber in his hand was close to Lucius' neck.

This attack left Lucius no time to defend himself, and he activated the Howling Soul Armor again. However, before the Howling Soul Armor could scream, Er Yu had already distanced himself and avoided the sound waves.

The screaming stopped, and Er Yu launched an attack from the front. After a few moves, Lucius's defense was wide open. Er Yu struck out with several swords, destroying the face on Lucius' breastplate, making the Howling Soul Armor unable to emit sound waves anymore.

Lucius took advantage of the gap when Eryu was destroying the Howling Soul Armor and slashed down with a sword. Eryu stood still and seemed to be ready to take the blow, but Lucius hit Eryu's afterimage again.

Er Yu had already predicted Lucius's actions. He only needed to make the slightest movement on the spot to avoid the opponent's attack. The speed was so fast that it seemed as if his body disappeared. Now it was Er Yu's turn again.

Chanabal's saber went straight to Lucius's head. Lucius wanted to use the Whip of Torment to block the attack, but it was just a feint by Eryu. He quickly retracted his sword and dodged the Whip of Torture, making it miss, then he cut off Lucius's right arm holding the whip with one sword.

The blessing of Slaanesh transformed Lucius's pain into pleasure. He stabbed Eryu with the Blade of Laer, but was knocked down by Eryu with one blow.

Then Eryu stepped forward and punched Lucius in the face, which almost made Lucius lose his balance.

Lucius took a few steps back to steady himself and tried to fight back, but just as he raised his left hand, Er Yu cut off his left arm with a lightning-fast knife.

The left arm holding the Blade of Laer fell to the ground. Having lost both arms, Lucius completely lost his means of attack.

Er Yu kicked Lucius to the ground, and then stabbed Lucius in the abdomen with a knife, nailing him to the ground.

At this point, the outcome has been decided.

A small wave of py-

Warhammer 40: Log of the Renegade Warband

Welcome aboard the Rusted Hand warband's Jagged Cruiser.

This is a third human realm, independent of both the Empire and Chaos. Its territory is limited only to the warships that host its warbands. Displaced by the Great Heresy ten thousand years ago, these outcasts abandoned both sides in the name of Blackshield and the Broken Legion, pursuing their own destinies. Among them are descendants of the loyalist Iron Warriors, descendants of the traitorous and Morean Iron Hands, and even the Astral Claws, who fought their way through the sea of blood and blood, unwilling to surrender to either Chaos or the Empire.

Among the mortals, they were accompanied by sailors who surrendered from looted trading ships, mechanical priests who came from Huangquan No. 8, Imperial secret agents and Tau Empire human agents hidden among the crowd, and an orphan picked up from the Badab War.

Chapter 80 The Fallen Snake

I lost. Compared to ten thousand years ago, nothing has changed.

Lucius lay on the ground. Even though the physical pain was transformed into pleasure, the pain in his heart was still unavoidable. He looked at Eryu in front of him and could hardly open his eyes.

How dazzling.

Lucius wanted to reach out and touch the golden and purple armor, but his hand had been cut off.

"Haha...hahaha..."

Lucius laughed, and it was an unpleasant laugh, but he soon stopped. He said to Eryu with mixed feelings:

"Tell me, teacher, how do you feel when you see us like this?"

Eryu still didn't say anything. If he really wanted to answer, he would just say it was ugly.

"Isn't it? But this is the 'perfection' we pursue." Lucius sensed something and spoke to himself, "I know, I know... what we look like in your eyes."

What do you know?

“…” Eryu really wanted to complain, but she held back.

"It's okay if you don't speak. I understand what you mean."

What do you understand now?

"But you shouldn't have appeared, teacher." Lucius' eyes turned compassionate. "Now we all see you, Akurduna. You can't escape, you'll never escape..."

Lucius's voice became smaller and smaller, and soon his eyes lost their luster and even his breathing stopped.

"?"

No, why did you die?

Upon learning that Lucius had the ability to resurrect, Er Yu did not kill him but crippled him, and then waited for everyone to come together to find a way to kill Lucius completely. But now Lucius suddenly died?

Eryu remembered that he did not cause Lucius fatal injuries. Each of his sword strikes avoided the vital parts. It was not so easy to die with only two broken hands and a hole in the abdomen. This was too inconsistent with the vitality of Astartes. It was not like Koslo who had both hearts broken. Moreover, Lucius was the Chosen One of Slaanesh. Which Chosen One would be so shameful?

Lucius's sudden death left Eryu confused about the situation, but then Luochen called and said anxiously:

"What happened, Eryu? Gloria said the subspace index over there is rising rapidly!"

"I don't know. I just knocked Lucius down, and then he suddenly died."

"Don't worry about Lucius for now, just look around!"

Er Yu looked around and didn't find anything unusual. He was about to reply to Luo Chen, but when he looked down, he found that Lucius's blood had formed a symbol of Slaanesh.

An alarm sounded in Eryu's heart, and he immediately moved away from Lucius. As soon as he distanced himself from Lucius, space distortion occurred at the location where Lucius was. The pink and purple subspace energy submerged Lucius, and then formed a huge phantom.

This is a huge but elegant snake-like monster with demonic wings on its back. It leans lazily on a throne covered with gems, silk and all kinds of blasphemous things, with its four slender arms placed at its side. A trace of its former beauty can still be seen on its long-forgotten face.

Perhaps this monster has a unique beauty, but to Eryu it is extremely ugly.

Eryu didn't know who this monster that suddenly appeared was, so he turned on "screen sharing" for everyone to take a look.

Ah Wei: "I remember this snake spirit being...?"

Ap: "Oh my! This is terrifying! Are we taking things too far this time? Even Fulgrim showed up!"

Brother Ou: "But I don't think this Fugen looks like a physical entity."

Luochen: "What are you afraid of? Cadia hasn't exploded yet. How could a demon primarch escape to the real universe so easily? This hive city has no conditions at all. Even the great demons can't get out, let alone the demon primarch. If Fulgrim really came out, the hive city would have become a den of lust. Why is there such a small movement?"

The Word Bearers' rituals used most of the Warp energy they collected on Isil to replace Colchis. Not much Warp energy remained on the planet, otherwise the planet would have sunk into the Warp long ago, and all kinds of demons and Warp creatures would have walked the planet.

"So this thing is a Primarch?"

After listening to everyone's words, Eryu also realized that this four-armed snake demon seemed not to be an ordinary demon, but the Primarch of the Emperor's Children of the Third Legion, the Purple Phoenix of Chemos, who became his current ugly appearance after being promoted to the Demon Prince of Slaanesh.

Fulgrim seemed to sense something. His long snake body stood up from the throne, his eyes fixed on where Eryu was. His purple eyes swept over him again and again, and his four arms were spread out, as if he wanted to embrace everything in his arms.

"Ah—I feel it, I feel it! Is it you?! My beloved child, my proud warrior, I can see the traces you left behind, but why can't I see you?"

The fallen Daemon Primarch leaned forward again and again, as if trying to break through the veil between reality and the Warp, his hands constantly grabbing, trying to throw away everything that obstructed his vision so that he could see the dazzling figure in his memory.

"Don't hide anymore. Look here, look here, my beautiful child. Your original body is here. Come back to me! I will give you the gift of the Dark Prince. You will experience bliss you have never experienced before and will become truly perfect!"

"So show up, at least let me see what you look like..."

Fulgrim kept shouting, but he didn't know that Eryu was actually standing in front of him.

Er Yu didn't dare to move and even held his breath. Facing a guy of this level, if he moved or made a sound accidentally and was discovered, he would be in trouble.

Fulgrim's illusion did not last too long. Just as Luochen said, before the Great Rift opened, it was not so easy for the Demon Primarch to come to the real universe. The conditions for summoning the Demon Primarch were too harsh. The energy of the Warp alone was difficult to supply, not to mention that whether it could be summoned depended on the mood of the Demon Primarch. Unless the evil god personally ordered it, the Demon Primarch usually stayed in the Warp to rot, except for a certain nail mecha, which had KPI indicators.

Seeing the phantom of the snake demon disappear, and after Gloria told him that the subspace index had decreased, Er Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked towards Lucius's position, but found that Lucius's body had disappeared, leaving only a saber standing there.

"What about people?"

Er Yu asked everyone, could it be that Lucius’s ability to resurrect wouldn’t even leave behind a corpse?

Luochen: "Perhaps the ritual that summoned Fulgrim's phantom teleported Lucius's body away?"

“Is there such a method?”

Luochen: "Yeah, if the body is gone, then it's gone. Lucius can't be resurrected on us anyway."

Er Yu picked up the saber left on the ground and waited for Gloria to scan it and find no problems before he dared to put it back to his waist.

"By the way, Lucius just kept saying I was Akurduna and calling me teacher. Is he famous?"

Brother Ou: "Brother A, he is the template for your body, a super strong man with two swords. He has been the swordsman teacher of Lucius and many emperors. Lucius mistook you for him."
