Chapter 26: Chapter 26 The Blood of Sanguinius
The terrifying blow from the Librarian startled the traitors! Even the Chaos Warmaster, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, was surprised by this terrifying psychic spell.
The death of twenty veterans made the Chaos Warmaster extremely angry, but at the same time, the Librarian's powerful strength and tenacious will also won the Warmaster's respect.
So, Abaddon decided to grant the warrior a merciful death himself.
"You are a respectable warrior!" The Chaos Warmaster's voice revealed a hint of admiration, "But unfortunately, you serve the corrupt and arrogant Corpse King! Now, pay the price for your folly!"
The Warmaster raised the Claw of Horus on his left arm, and the claw blade filled with the power of chaos stabbed at the Librarian like lightning.
That amazing psychic flame had drained all the strength from the Librarian. This brave and fearless warrior was now at the end of his rope.
The feeling of weakness from the depths of his soul surged over him like a tide. Facing the lightning-fast attack of the Chaos Warmaster, the Son of Sanguinius no longer had the strength to dodge.
Without any suspense, the sharp [Claw of Horus] easily penetrated the power armor of the Librarian! With a dull sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh, the claw blade filled with the power of the evil god pierced into Astarte's heart.
Fresh red blood flowed slowly down the wounds, and both hearts were severely damaged at the same time... The noble life of the son of Sanguinius has come to an end.
The strength supporting his body was constantly fading away, and a deep sense of exhaustion engulfed the consciousness of the think tank director! When he was on the verge of death, this respectable warrior seemed to see a noble figure shrouded in golden light.
The blood of Sanguinius flowing in the think tank director's body was throbbing, and the instinct engraved deep in his genes told him that the noble figure appearing before him was none other than the great genetic father [Sanguinius].
The think tank director stretched out his hand with all his strength, trying to catch a ray of light belonging to the archangel! But in an instant, the warm golden light and the noble figure disappeared at the same time.
All that remained in the think tank director's ears was a long sigh filled with countless regrets...
The heart stopped beating and the muscles gradually relaxed! The think tank director who was pierced by Horus' claws no longer had any signs of life.
Looking at the completely dead Son of Sanguinius, a hideous smile flashed across the face of the Chaos Warmaster.
"This is what happens when you become enemies with the Black Legion! In your next life, don't follow the rotten corpse king on the golden throne."
The moment the Claw of Horus was pulled out, the huge body of the think tank director fell to the ground with a bang.
But no one noticed that a drop of blood as shining as a ruby broke away from the claw of Horus and silently merged into the body of the son of Sanguinius.
That was the blood of the Primarch Sanguinius!
In the Horus Heresy ten thousand years ago, the traitor Horus killed his own brother Sanguinius with his own hands.
The weapon Horus used at that time was the Claw of Horus in the hands of the Chaos Warmaster! Ten thousand years have passed, but the blood of the Archangel still remains on this vicious weapon.
Even after remaining silent in the Eye of Terror for ten thousand years, this drop of blood is still as pure as its owner.
This drop of blood from the Father of Genes allowed the Director of the Think Tank to see the vision of the fall of Sanguinius ten thousand years ago!
The noble Archangel was pierced through the heart by the great traitor Horus, and the angel's blood, as dazzling as a ruby, flowed freely...
This was a nightmare scenario for every son of Sanguinius.
Memories from eternity ago flooded into their minds, and this nightmarish scene induced a mutation imprinted deep in the genes of the angel's descendants - a phenomenon called [Black Rage].
The angel descendants who fall into the state of [Black Rage] will think that they are Sanguinius during the Horus Heresy! Under the influence of Black Rage, the noble angel descendants can't even distinguish between friend and foe.
In most cases, this madness cannot be eliminated.
The angel descendants affected by the Black Rage will have their armor painted black and then be assigned to a team called the "Death Company". Their fate is to die on the battlefield in a tragic war.
It is no exaggeration to say that every time the [Black Rage] descends, it means the end of an angel offspring.
However, due to the existence of the Blood of Sanguinius, the [Black Rage] that befell the Librarian this time was slightly different from ordinary Black Rage.
The power contained in the angel's blood repaired the injuries of the think tank director; the anger remaining in the blood greatly enhanced the think tank director's physical and spiritual power.
This is the Archangel's gift to his genetic offspring! !
The Librarian, who was in a state of black rage, gripped the scepter in his hand again and roared towards the Chaos Warmaster who was about to leave.
"Horus, you betrayed your great father!" Amid the roar of the angel offspring, the think tank's scepter burst into a brilliant electric light.
The arc of electricity leaped like a dragon, cutting through the space and exploding on Abaddon's power armor! This shining and scorching psychic lightning actually made the Chaos Warmaster feel a little numb.
The attack from the think tank director shocked all the traitors present.
The miracle of "resurrection from the dead" should be an authority that only the gods of the Warp can possess, but at this moment... it appeared on the body of an Astartes.
"You are becoming more and more interesting to me! But... if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time! Coming back from the dead is just one more time of suffering."
Although the Chaos Warmaster was surprised that the Librarian had returned from the dead, the traitor had no intention of showing mercy.
Abaddon once again raised the Claw of Horus stained with angel blood, ready to send this angel offspring to eternal sleep.
But it turned out that Abaddon still underestimated the power of the think tank director.
The angel descendant who has fallen into the state of [Black Rage] possesses all the memories and combat abilities of Archangel Sanguinius! If we ignore his physical qualities, it is not wrong to regard him as a true archangel.
It is for this reason that the existence of [Black Rage] is regarded by some angel descendants as a blessing from the archangel.
As the Lord of the Holy Ninth Legion, Archangel Sanguinius possesses a perfect fighting skill! Even the former Warmaster Horus was defeated by the Archangel during a duel.
The Chaos Warmaster will pay the price for his pride and contempt.
The powerful amplification brought by the angel's blood allowed the think tank director to easily avoid the claws of the Chaos Warmaster! At the moment when the two sides passed by, the think tank's staff filled with spiritual energy stretched out like a venomous snake.
