Chapter 9: Chapter 9 Desperate Situation
A few hours may not sound long, but to the loyalists and even the Black Legion present, this period of time is the dividing line between life and death.
The Chaos Spawn filled with the power of Khorne does not distinguish between friend and foe! Almost at the moment when the Lord of Brass stopped blessing, the bloated and twisted Chaos Spawn began to move.
Dozens of long whips made of pure muscle extend from this mountain of flesh. Driven by instinct, the Chaos Egg will destroy all living things that appear in its sight.
The bloody muscle whip flashed through the air like lightning, and the sound of the wind breaking like the howling of a ghost echoed in everyone's ears.
The Black Legion traitors closest to the Chaos Spawn were the first to suffer.
When facing the terrifying attack from the Chaos Spawn, the Black Legion's ancient soldiers were as powerless as mortals!
Whether it was the chainsaw sword or the grenade launcher, it would only leave an inconspicuous white mark on the Chaos Spawn! However, every swing of the Chaos Spawn could accurately take the life of a traitor.
This was not a battle at all, but a massacre without suspense.
The number of the Black Legion was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye! Before the entire army was annihilated, the traitors had tried to ask for help from the Chaos warships parked in the planet's orbit, but unfortunately, there was only harsh white noise in the communication channel.
No one responded to their call for help! It was as if... the two huge Chaos warships had evaporated into thin air.
Under the Chaos Spawn's violent attack, the traitors were ultimately unable to escape destruction! Except for a few lucky ones who managed to escape, the Black Legion's ground forces were almost completely wiped out.
When the last traitor who tried to escape was crushed into a pulp by the whip, the Chaos Spawn turned its attention to the loyalists.
The Sons of the Fire Dragon gathered around the Primarch and raised their bolters. Although Gawain was not their genetic father, the Astartes would still defend the Primarch with their lives.
When facing the loyalists, the Chaos Spawn did not launch a rash attack as it did when it slaughtered the Black Legion before.
Although its soul had been devoured by the power of Chaos, the Chaos Egg could still sense the dangerous aura coming from the Primarch with its beast-like instincts.
However, the Chaos Egg is, after all, just a twisted creature without any mind. After several attempts, the Chaos Egg's patience has been completely worn out.
Under the Primarch's solemn gaze, the Chaos Spawn squirmed its bloated body and came before the loyalists like a giant maggot.
Faced with the aggressive Chaos Egg, Gawain had no intention of retreating.
The Primarch raised the chainsword in his hand and launched a charge towards the direction where the Chaos Egg was.
The ground was shaking, and every time Gawain took a step forward, a deep footprint was left on the ground! Nothing could stop the charge of a Primarch, not even the long whip that slaughtered hundreds of ancient soldiers.
Anything that dared to stand in front of the Primarch was torn into pieces by the chainsaw sword, and in the blink of an eye, Gawain was already in front of the Chaos Egg.
The roaring chainsaw sword stabbed fiercely at the ferocious mouth of the Chaos Egg. The rapidly rotating teeth tore at the monster's flesh and blood, and the foul-smelling red liquid splashed out like raindrops.
Intense pain invades the nerves of the Chaos Egg!
Stimulated by the pain, the abominable monster once again grew dozens of long whips, and then fiercely slashed at the Primarch who was close at hand.
Gawain wanted to repeat his old trick and tear the whips into pieces with the chainsaw sword in his hand! But the moment the chainsaw sword pierced into the Chaos Egg's body, it was already devoured by the monster's flesh and blood.
Even with the terrifying power of the Primarch, it was impossible to pull out the chainsword in a short period of time.
In this situation, the Primarch could only withdraw and dodge.
But facing the Chaos Spawn's endless attack like a tide, blindly dodging will eventually lead to omissions!
The Chaos Spawn seized the moment when the Primarch made a mistake and controlled several long whips to launch an attack.
Gawain relied on his excellent physical fitness to dodge most of the Chaos Egg's attacks! But unfortunately, a long whip still bypassed the Primarch's defense! The
bloody long whip passed like lightning, and Gawain only felt a terrifying force coming! The next moment, the power armor made by the Sons of Fire Dragon shattered.
The Chaos Spawn's attack not only shattered the Primarch's power armor, but also left a deep scar on his shoulder that was visible to the bone. A little light golden blood flowed out of the wound, and a strange sweet smell filled the air.
Before awakening the essence of the Warp, the Primarchs were, after all, just slightly more powerful mortals.
"Protect the Primarch!" The Sons of the Fire Dragon, who had been on guard at the edge of the battlefield, gathered around the injured Primarch.
The roar of the grenade launcher sounded at this moment! Fragments like raindrops shot out from the barrel of the gun, but these fragments were enough to penetrate the tank armor, but they could not cause any damage to the squirming chaos eggs.
The Astartes' counterattack angered the Chaos Spawn!
This huge mountain of flesh temporarily gave up chasing the Primarch and instead controlled the whip to hunt down the Astartes.
The honor and loyalty of the Sons of the Fire Dragon are unquestionable.
Even though their strength was no match for the powerful Chaos Spawn, they were still trying their best to buy time for the Primarch to recover.
The Salamander Librarian who had been following the Primarch held high the psychic scepter in his hand. This loyal warrior released an astonishing psychic lightning at the cost of his own soul.
The cyan-gold psychic lightning streaked across the sky like a dragon. Amidst a sharp sound of electricity, this terrifying psychic spell slammed heavily into the body of the Chaos Egg.
This attack, which embodied the soul and life of the Salamander Think Tank, did not fail like the previous attacks.
When the dust stirred up by the explosion settled, a disgusting burnt odor spread, and a scorch mark with sparks appeared on the body of the Chaos Egg.
This attack successfully injured the abominable monster! But this did not make the battle situation develop in a good way.
Under the stimulation of pain, the Chaos Spawn's attack became more violent! The Fire Dragon's Sons fell one after another, and Gawain was powerless to stop it.
A deep feeling of powerlessness pierced Gawain's heart, and the Primarch's pupils flashed with a rage that was almost condensed into substance. This pure and fierce rage made Khorne, who was sitting on the brass throne, feel incomparable joy.
Ever since Angron, the Lord of Red Sand, ascended to the throne of Demon, Khorne has never felt such pure rage again!
