Chapter 101: 14th Legion Part Three


    "Rejoice, children! Your Father brings you to hope in your darkest hour. Let those who would ept his giftse forth and receive the blessings of the Lord of Decay. Cast away your crutches and doubts. Put aside beliefs in a false master who fills your hearts with lies, sorrow, and regrets. Embrace instead the glorious gifts of rot and decay. Revel in the beauty of putrescence and be reborn a living symbol of perseverance."


    - Daemon Prince Gal''furth


    "Embrace the Grandfather Nurgle and his love." One of four gue Marines said to the intruder as he fire his bolter. They patrol the ship''s hallway after receiving notification and since they were the nearest, they were the first gue Marines to wee the neers. The oue wasn''t what they expected.


    After firing a few rounds, the first thing they notice was the sense of feeling. For the first time since their transformation after receiving the blessing from the gue God, the four traitors began to feel everything. The sensation of pain and smell was unimaginable to the gue Marines as their perception of reality cleared like a blue sky after a misty morning.


    The first gue Marines couldn''t feel his left hand making a fist or move its fingers. Instead of a human hand, his left hand was made out of a green tentacle and wrapped around the bolter barrel guard like some kind of sea monster. Looking down, the traitor saw his body instantly terrified him to his core as his power armor, the pride and symbol of his legion is nothing but a rusty metal bucket with his guts just hanging out like some fat flesh.


    "What happened to me? Where is my arm?" The traitor said to himself but no one paid attention to him as the other three were on the same boat as the first traitor.


    The second and third gue Marines check their bodies to find out that their stomachs were reced withrge mouths with sharp fangs. The second marine''s upper body and face were covered with tumors and the only way for him to breathe was through an organic tube that was connected to his mouth through his helmet.


    The third marine, on the other hand, didn''t have the tumor upper body like his friend, instead, he have boils and infections all over his skin while his power armor extract those boils for the pus. The nightmare didn''t stop there as the third traitor realized that his right leg was muchrger than his left andpletely naked from the power armor. Each step would force the boils to spill the pus out from his right foot and the worst part is that the leg has eyes. A living eyes that weren''t his or able to see through.


    The fourth gue Marine is in worst shapepared to the other three. His entire body was bloated to the point he would explode if someone hit him with a bolter round. His rusted power armor was too small for his overweight body and most of his fats were digging into the armor''s sharp edges like a dagger, bleeding him all kinds of liquids besides blood.


    Overall, the four gues Marines saw their tragic condition under gue God''s blessings andpletely forgot about who they were fighting a few seconds ago. The unknown force continue to advance and before four gue Marines realized what was going on, multiple bolter rounds and a few sma shotspletely wipe them out without giving them a chance to defend themselves.


    "Spare no one. We are doing them a favor by erasing them from existencepletely. Tonight, no souls will return to the Lord of Decay." The leading terminator said to others behind him and move forward with his power fists ready. Attached under his two power fists are two different types of range weapons. One on the right fist has a chain bolter while the other fist has sma cannon, both having retractable lighting ws in unexpected melee fights.


    "Yes, Chapter Master!" The 20 Honour Guards replied at the same time and follow the leader while the middle and rear guards stay alert for a possible ambush. The power of the nk and extension of William''s ability to every Honour Guards divested not only minions of the gue God but also the ship''s environment as well.


    The fungus and other nt life quickly withered while maggots and flies died as the overwhelming power of the nk blocked them from receiving Nurgle''s blessing. Of course, fire from the mers made no difference in what killed them as it purged the walls and floors, revealing the original structures of the Battle Barge.


    William''s force pushes forward, clearing every turn and room. Each resistance was met with more bolters and fire as William unleash his stress and anger at the unfortunate gue Marines and a few daemons of the Nurgle.


    "Chapter Master, we are a few kilometers away from themand bridge. I advise caution as the enemy leader of this ship would have elite guards." Captain Auguste said to William through vox radio. Even though the ship was being purged from the corruption, the air was still filled with spores and all kinds of diseases. Thankfully, the power armor and air filter helped greatly as if not for those pieces of equipment, William''s group will be experiencing attrition of Chaos corruption.


    "Understood Captain Auguste. Let''s see if anyone is waiting for us on the other side of this door." William raises his right-power fist and punches the door, shattering the metal door to make the entrance. The room was big andrge enough to be vehicle storage, but instead of storing vehicles, the room is filled with big sacks of unknown organic materials. By William''s estimation, he counted over 30 biological sacks and each of them contained living beings. Living beings with Legion Astartes gic materials.


    ''Oh, I saw enough horror movies to know what those are.'' William immediately follows his instinct and raises his range weapons to fire.


    "Destroy them all before these things hatch," William''s order wasn''t obeyed as the frontline began to receive enemy fires. William''srge terminator armor took most of the attack and his shield managed to hold the worst of it as some of the enemy attacks were blightunchers.


    "Pushing forward and spread out! We can''t have the enemy hold us in the bottleneck position," Captain Auguste orders his men to push forward so they can have a strong position to prevent the enemy from holding the superior position.


    "On me!" William boosts his energy shield and raises his two arms. With his tactical auto-aiming system built in his armor, William locked multiple targets and fired. Combi-bolter and sma cannon cause explosions beyond the normal capabilities of Astartes'' war gears. Not only did the bullets and sma st kill the enemies but destroyed the organic sacks containing the traitors.


    "Follow the Chapter Master!"


    "For the Emperor!"


    "We are the bane of the heretics and Chaos!"


    Honour Guards of the cksouls chapter advance with no hesitation and their weapons deliver devastating power to kill their enemy. Each of the Honour Guard''s bolter rounds contains a small microchip of nanomachines that break down the enemy''s body the moment it makes the contact. One hit from this bullet will spread the tiny machine to devour the enemy''s flesh and continue to grow until the host of the body is nothing but a pile of dust in the end.


    As for the mer, the short-range crowd control weapon st blue me instead of red or orange. This is because of the higher temperature and special chemicals in the fuel they use as ammunition. Not only does the fire of the mer burn longer and hotter but the chemicals within make sure nothing will put down the me such as water or sand as it will continue to burn unless the supply of air is gone.


    The Honour Guards possess closebat weapons as it is their bread and butter inbat. From power swords, shields, axes, hammers, and lighting ws. Mastercrafted weapons are deadly on their own but when activated, the closebat weapons can deliver powerful sts or cut through anything within their limit. The Cog Boys previously tested William''s terminator armor and found out that the armor ting generates countermeasures to prevent the power de from cutting the armor and absorbs the kic impactpletely.


    William didn''t hesitate as nothing could hurt him or affect him using warp magic. Anything standing in his way was crushed to paste and Death Guard stood his way, William simply punched or slice him into pieces.


    With each attack William delivered, he received more attacks from his enemies. Shortly after, William saw his kic storage is 100% and saw how he is now surrounded by the enemy, he activates the kic st, shredding anyone and anything around him. The st cleared William''s path and others to joined him as the majority of the enemies began to retreat to the next room.


    "Concentrate all your fire towards the retreating enemy! Don''t let them escape to regroup." The order came from the Chapter Master and they are followed without any question. Three Honour Guards step forward with their heavy weapons in their hands and fire at will, killing rear Death Guards as they attempt to run away.


    Just as the three Honour Guards were about to empty their magazine, a cracking sound can be heard and a secondter, arge number of enemy terminators teleported into the room. Equipped with mutated Cataphractii Pattern Terminator Armour from the era of the Great Crusade and Horus Hersey, about 50 terminators entered the battlefield, armed to the teeth.


    "You have done enough damage to our newly formed ranks, but fear not for Grandfather Nurgle''s love is eternal." The leading Blightlord Terminator spoke with a sickly voice. Elite Death Guards among the traitor legion made their desperate move to stop the unstoppable force even though they have no idea who they are facing. They simply assumed that these loyalists Space Marines are a separate sect of Grey Knights as they have simr coloring and armor types. This assumption will be their mistake and a fatal one as William didn''t bother answering the leader of the Blightlord with words but with his fist.


    "No thanks, but my fist of love will free your soul for good." The punch sends the enemy leader''s head flying while his body below the neck simply slumps down to the floor, only one leg somehow manages to finch due to muscle reaction. The head hit the wall and exploded into arge lump of goo as it slide down like a slime.


    William''s surprise attack sends out full-scale war as some Blightlord Terminators open fire and some charge head-on to fight the enemy with Balesword or bubonic axes. Expecting this, the 20 Honour Guards did the same and two elite units sh against each other, shaking the floor with unimaginable force.


    Blightlords have the advantage in number but their ability to fight with Nurgle''s blessing is no more and their strength of gue became obsolete. Still, some of the Blightlords managed to kill cksouls'' Honour Guards brutally as possible but as one of them fall, three of their own fell with no way for them to reach the gue God''s realm.


    While cksouls elite guards hold their own, William was having a st as his third ability to master any item allows him to utilize all of his weapons and armor to full potential. With unbelievable speed, William stepped left and right, dodging most of the enemy weapons and getting close enough for him to use his duel-lighting ws.


    Each of his lighting ws met its mark as the entire helmet was cut into three pieces or horizontally cut, separating the bodies. Pulling his hands back, William brings out a golden halberd from his inventory. After activating the halberd, William made his stance to wee Blightlords as they approach him with their melee weapons in their hands.


    William blocks the first attack with his halberd as a rustly ax strikes from above. Fighting the enemy''s strength, William redirects the ax de and strikes the enemy terminator''s helmet with the back of his halberd. The head exploded due to the powerful blow and the terminator''s incredible strength. Following this motion, the golden halberd slice the air as William swings the weapon, switching from his right to left hand expertly.


    The 10 vs 1 fight turned into a blood bath as the golden de of the halberd cut down any enemy terminator standing in its way. Nothing could stop it as armor ting and the enemy''s des simply cut down like grass. William stopped spinning his weapon and after pulling back his right hand, he bring out his left arm forward. Equipped with abi-bolter, William cleared the rest of the Blightlords that his halberd couldn''t reach, killing all of his opponents in one single motion.


    "For the Emperor! For we are true death of his archenemy!"


    As the battle continues, the Blightlords'' captain andmander of the Resheph, the Death Guard Battle Barge step out from hismand bridge. Realizing that thepany of Brightlords isn''t enough, Captain Kallgar Toxic de heads towards the storage room with his trusty power scythe in his hand, while his Primarch''s elite terminator units ''Eyes of Mortarion'' follows him as they were ordered to protect Captain Kallgar with their lives.
