Warhammer 40: My Fiancée Fulgrim

Everything is within sight.

At this moment, the enormous Dalit portal, emitting a shimmering glow, was still closing in on them.

We need to hurry.

Kaska thought to himself.

In this last room, there were no other entrances or exits except for the crystal door they had just blown up.

The spacious circular hall seemed to have a radius of several hundred meters, and in the very center of the hall, a particularly large crystal floated silently.

Like those crystal aliens, this was a structure composed of countless transparent and translucent crystals, but its size was enormous compared to the ones they had encountered before.

The crystal structure, which is about ten meters tall, sits quietly in the very center of the room, pulsating slightly.

It seems that nothing has changed since the arrival of this uninvited guest, Casca.

"Shoot the core together."

"Casca calmly gave the order."

These aliens were more troublesome than he had imagined.

Judging from the current situation, the warship seems to be directly controlled by this giant crystal, without leaving them any external interface.

It is virtually impossible to seize control without destroying the structure.

But since we've already come all this way, we can't just leave empty-handed.

Casca tried to pull out the incendiary gun with the other two and shoot at the core of the crystal.

hum!

Buzz!

Several scorching rays shot out from three points and converged at the core of the giant crystal.

But beneath the crystal shell, only a few thin, charred streaks remained.

As the controller of the warship, his defensive capabilities seemed to be far superior to those of the crystal aliens.

Casca and his team's attack failed to penetrate the enemy's defenses.

As the explosive rays became less effective, the crystal seemed to realize something and began to change its shape.

Until the next instant, the center of that massive thing, scorched by the rays of the exploding pistol, was aimed at them.

"dodge!!!"

Aqua's shout from behind filled the entire hall in an instant.

call out!

As if these crystal walls didn't exist at all, a massive beam of light shot out from where the tactical squad had been, leaving a dazzling trail in the void.

This laser is exactly the same as the laser cannons fired by those alien warships!

damn it!

Kaska, who had narrowly missed dodging, felt a wave of fear wash over him.

This thing is not only their command and control system, but also the laser weapon of the alien warship!

"Is everything okay?"

Casca looked around anxiously.

It seems that their tactical squad is full of hidden talents, with both Tavitz and Lucius being highly skilled.

Even though their reaction speed wasn't as good as Garska's or the Sword Saint Aqua's, they still managed to dodge the powerful blow.

"Captain, what should we do now?"

Tavitz stood up and asked.

"Find the right time."

"When the laser was fired just now, it seemed to expose its core."

call out!

Before Kasgar and the others could stand still again, the massive crystal structure began to spin and change rapidly once more, preparing for the next shot.

Casca rolled to dodge and fired again with his incendiary gun.

However, from his side, there were several layers of stacked crystal protection, so the effect of the incendiary gun was not satisfactory.

To truly damage the core, you have to shoot the alien's crystal core head-on.

"Is it possible to reach its core?"

"no!"

Lucius, who was close to the crystal shot, answered somewhat hastily, and with anxious panting, he called out to Casgar.

"This guy has made the opening very small!"

"Unless it's a head-on firefight, it's impossible to hit the core!"

"Here it comes again! Dodge!"

As the two exchanged words, the crystal quickly gathered its energy again, preparing to launch another attack on Kaska and his companions.

call out!

Seeing that its laser, which had been charged for too long, seemed unable to hit these humans, the alien crystal seemed to change its strategy, firing a smaller, faster, but more concentrated beam about the thickness of a human head towards Casca's location.

A roll!

Suddenly, another laser beam appeared in the void behind where Kasgar had originally been.

Although the beam was smaller than before, Casgar had no doubt about its power.

If hit, even with a large shield protecting him, it can still create a large hole in his chest.

"You're right, it's impossible to shoot from here!"

Casca's expression also became several degrees more serious.

His experience of facing the enemy head-on just now told him that unless he took the laser beam head-on, it was impossible to damage the core protected by the enemy's layers of defenses.

In other words, someone has to step forward and sacrifice.

Or, they might be dragged into a portal and die together.

"Let me do it."

Seeing this, Sol Tavec was the first to break the silence.

He understood that Kasgar was the beloved of Primarch Fugrim, while Lucius was a more talented rising star in swordsmanship.

Compared to the two of them, the sacrifice of himself, an insignificant recruit, was naturally the most worthwhile.

After he finished speaking, he slowed down and stopped running, focused his eyes, and raised the incendiary gun in his hand.

The laser cannon, constructed from crystal structures, was now aimed at him—

"Thor!!!"

Lucius roared and ran wildly, trying to stop the other man from committing suicide.

But he was too far away to save his opponent before the next laser cannon shot was fired.

Even Aqua, who is further away, is not an option.

call out.

The laser beam shot towards Thor Tavitz's location.

At that moment, he pointed the explosive weapon in his hand at his opponent.

In that instant, he felt a strong impact coming from his left side.

Boom!

That was the sound of powered armor colliding with each other.

Casca has made its move.

In the nick of time, he leaped aside from Tavitz and simultaneously aimed the muzzle of his explosive gun at the opponent's core.

hum-

In an instant, the explosive ray successfully struck the opponent's core.

It made the opponent feel pain as it retracted its core and hovered in mid-air.

But at the same time, Casca's right hand and the incendiary gun were both obliterated by the opponent's laser.

The spot where the right hand had been was instantly engulfed by a dazzling, scorching white light.

"hiss--"

Kasga cried out in pain, then rolled over Tavitz's body and stood up again.

"Get up, Taviz!"

Seeing that the other person looked somewhat dazed, Kaska hurriedly called out.

"Your hand"

"Don't talk about hands! Trading one hand for one brother is a great deal!"

No, your hand—

"What time is it and you're still worrying about this!"

"Just go back and get Meilushin to fix it!"

"No! That's not what I meant!"

Even the usually calm Thor Tavitz was getting a little anxious.

"Your hand is fine, there's nothing wrong with it!"

what?

Kasgar then came to his senses and looked at his palm.

The terracotta-covered power armor gloves, along with the incendiary gun, instantly vaporized and disappeared under the high temperature of the laser.

But ironically, his right hand remained perfectly intact on the smooth cut surface of the armor!

Of course, it's not entirely intact either.

It was as if the crack at the base of the thumb had been widened, and the entire palm was covered with fine, golden-red lines.

Like porcelain with crackled ice patterns.

Casca moved around a bit, and surprisingly, there was nothing wrong with it.

He was in disbelief.

Phew, I almost got crippled by the laser.

Luckily, I'm a sports student.

It'll be fine once it settles down.

"Are you alright? How was the shooting just now?"

Lucius rushed to their side, ready to rescue them should the sphere launch another attack.

But that cunning sphere, seemingly unwilling to take any further risks after being injured, appeared to be unwilling to do so.

Instead of attacking the people in the arena, it formed a tight spherical crystal, guarding its core.

It has shrunk in size.

"Damn it!"

Lucius attempted to leap and slash with his dueling sword, but could only feel a crisp, rattling sound as he pulled glass.

The other party remained unmoved.
