Hades held the scythe in both hands, trying his best to resist the attack from the opposing lord. The two sides were in a stalemate.
Herrera's figure gradually disappeared from sight, and Hades secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but facing the psychic lord Lazar, he could not take it lightly at all costs.
The gap in power between the two sides is too great. A mistake would mean Hades would pay with his life.
As if realizing Hades's plan to ask Herrera to mobilize people, Lord Lazar's twisted and ugly face showed a distorted expression that was almost mocking.
"You fragile scum, you won't be able to hold on until that monster arrives. I will tear your weak body into pieces!!!"
Hades clenched his teeth, shaking from the effort, but he still managed to squeeze out a few words.
"But you've already lost, haven't you, Lazar?"
Lord Lazar flew into a rage, his bloodied and bruised body proving that he was the weaker party in the battle with Mortarion.
A sharp claw suddenly stretched out from the body of the leader who was as big as a car, and it chopped down at him with the force of lightning and gust of wind, carrying a bloody stench!
Fuck! I shouldn't have provoked him! He's being rude again!
Hades immediately hooked his sickle to dissipate the force, and rotated the sickle to dissipate the huge force. At the same time, he instantly jumped back to the right. His claws, which were like iron hooks and flashed green and black poisonous light, just passed by him.
That was a close call!
That guy's claws are definitely poisonous. If you get scratched by one, you'll be dead!
Damn it, the opponent is a full-level enchanted melee mage, what can he do when he just left the novice village to fight against the opponent
With his adrenaline roaring, Hades' mind was racing with countermeasures. He carefully observed the terrain and the enemy, analyzing the current battle situation.
They were now on a mountain path, with a bottomless cliff on one side and a towering mountain wall on the other. Some rocks were piled on the mountain path, and a few dead trees protruded from the mountain wall.
Apart from the fact that he seemed to be able to jump off the cliff in the end to escape with his life, the terrain seemed to have no advantages for him. He even had to guard against the lord throwing him off the cliff.
He stared at Lord Lazar opposite him. Lord Lazar was a beast that looked like a hybrid of a human and a tiger, with an ugly, fat face covered with saliva-covered beard and a body as big as a car covered with strange pits, and the claw that suddenly burst out just now was stretched out from one of them.
In addition, a strange fist-sized stone was deeply embedded in the back where the depressions were the most dense, and it was emitting a dim green fluorescence.
According to the Death Guard's previous investigation of Lazar, this was some kind of psychic amplifier that the cruel lord obtained through human sacrifice.
Lazar was originally just a small lord in a marginal area. After obtaining this stone, he relied on his powerful psychic witchcraft to win the wars between many lords and gradually gained control of the Morar area.
But what puzzled Hades at the moment was that Lazar did not use any psychic magic in the two attacks just now, but only relied on his own body to launch the attack.
This was a strange behavior, which did not fit Hades and his team's previous investigation into Lord Lazar.
Hades quickly came up with two speculations in his mind. The first possibility was that Lazar deliberately launched a physical attack to induce Hades to relax his guard against psychic witchcraft attacks.
The second possibility is that Lord Lazar was seriously injured in the previous battle with Mortarion and is currently unable to use psionic powers.
But Hades knew that Lazar was now defeated by Mortarion, and he was in a hurry to escape, so he would not bother to keep any psychic backup for Hades, a soldier who was not worth mentioning in his eyes.
So it is very likely that Lord Lazar was injured in the previous battle with Mortarion and was unable to drive psionic energy.
Hoping for the second possibility, Hades prayed silently that it was still possible for him to defeat a melee mage with low health and depleted mana bar.
At least, the chance of escaping is greater.
His brain was working frantically, and Hades did not stop moving. He was currently adopting an active defensive tactic, jumping around comically on the narrow mountain road platform to avoid attacks from the opposite side.
He swung the sickle, and the huge sickle broke most of Lazar's attacks. The claws and the steel sickle collided rapidly, making a "clang" sound and sparks flying.
And when Hades really couldn't avoid it, he used his thickly protected elbows and calves to take the attack. Bright red blood mixed with black and green venom splashed at the same time, staining the gray and yellow mountain road together with Lord Lazar's blood.
Compared to Hades, who was determined to defend solidly to delay time, Lord Lazar became more and more crazy.
Time is running out! We can't let that soldier drag until that monster Mortarion arrives! He has to escape quickly!
If his previous psychic transmission had not been interrupted suddenly and he had not reacted in time, he would not have let another soldier escape!
Lord Lazar was also in a panic. The witchcraft he had always been proud of was destroyed by the monster Mortarion's superb physical scythe. He knew that he would die if he continued to fight, so he immediately looked for an opportunity to teleport away.
Even if Mortarion was powerful, what would it matter? Without psychic magic, he could only stare at him and watch him escape with psychic power.
However, the witchcraft that Lazar had always been proud of suddenly had problems. He had set the other end of the transmission at the foot of the mountain, but in the middle of the transmission, he suddenly felt that his connection with the subspace was weakened.
Barbaros was originally a planet with a very thin barrier to the Warp, which also meant that the lords who used psychic power on it could easily gain power from the Warp.
But suddenly, the feeling of being connected to the subspace was cut off, and the increasingly solid physical laws of the real world squeezed Lord Lazar, forcing him to stop the transmission midway.
He was squeezed out of the short-distance teleportation of the warp, and when he came out, he saw Hades and Herilla cleaning up the deserters in the rear.
what is going on?!
Not only that, he found that his connection with the warp was getting weaker and weaker! He couldn't even concentrate his psychic energy to use a simple psychic spell!!!
No! You can’t!!!
what is going on??!
While fighting Hades, Lord Lazar distracted himself by immersing his thoughts in the countless forbidden books he had read before, and one forbidden word after another passed before his eyes.
Finally, he found a word deep in his memory—
“untouchable” – untouchable.
Could it be that the trash on the other side is an untouchable? ? ? ! !
No, how could it be possible! The Untouchables were a complete rumor from the past. Even in the legendary Golden Age, there was no mention of the Untouchables!
No!!! Impossible!!! Apart from a monster like Mortarion!!! No low-level human can threaten Lazar!!!
They are garbage! They are weak bugs! They are weeds that can be found everywhere! They can’t be the existences in the rumors!
Lord Lazar's extremely sharp senses had already sensed the trembling of Mortarion's long strides running down the mountain road in the distance. Time was running out! !
This damn jumping bug! A mortal who can only use fragile physical attacks!!!
I, Lazar, am far superior to you!!!
Die!!!
Lazar ignored the already very weak subspace connection and stretched out a pale, human-like hand from the depression on his back. The space next to the hand began to distort, and a strange white light flickered and condensed on the hand.
He was going to tear this bug to pieces with one blow!!!
Hades stared closely at the white light on the hand and raised his sickle to protect his key parts.
Because of his previous interaction with Typhon, Hades knew very well that if he turned around and ran downwards now, he would not be able to escape the attack range of the psychic energy.
But... maybe he could try—
—Run upwards!
He pretended to be on the defensive, but in fact he kept his peripheral vision fixed on a dead tree on the cliff beside him.
He planned to jump up suddenly at the moment the attack was launched, grab the dead tree with his sickle, and then use the momentum to swing up to avoid the attack!
If the impact of this psychic attack is extremely strong, then the shock wave can even carry him to the safe area above!
Lazar definitely won't turn around to finish off the enemy because he's also running for his life!
Even though Hades had previously blocked most of Lord Lazar's attacks, his cut limbs had already begun to twitch weakly, and the massive amount of bleeding made Hades feel dizzy.
Although he clenched his teeth and didn't let himself show it, Hades knew he couldn't hold on for much longer.
If Mortarion doesn't come to support in another two minutes, Hades will definitely choose to jump off the cliff.
That is to say,
The next action of both sides will be the key to determining the outcome of the war.
However, a situation occurred that neither side had expected.
As Hades focused most of his attention on the psychic energy gathering point, in the dimension he was not aware of, the spherical black hole that covered his entire body and was almost untouchable began to deform. The pure black void began to twist, as if it were alive, slowly crawling and extending forward.
If you look at Hades in the subspace, you will see a pure and thick black human figure in the center. He is like a tiny star, emitting black light outwards, swallowing up everything the light touches.
But as the observation distance increased, the black light became weaker and weaker, until it completely merged into the impure darkness of the subspace.
Because everything is black, it is difficult for you to notice this small black humanoid in the warp space.
At this moment, Hades' black hole slowly and irreversibly deformed, swallowing up the yellow-green light belonging to Lord Lazar next to him, and some tiny pieces of pus and flesh floating next to these lights were also swallowed up.
The loving father murmured softly in his sleep.
Hades stared closely at Lord Lazar.
Suddenly!!! The violent white light in Lazar's hand disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed, and the stone on his back exploded at the same time, and a huge shock wave exploded with Lord Lazar as the center!
The rolling shock wave also attacked Hades. Without any hesitation, with the thrust of the shock wave, Hades leaped into the air and raised his sickle with all his strength. The iron-wrapped part of the back of the sickle blade firmly hooked the root of the dead tree!
Hades exerted force with both hands, and swung up with the momentum! He drew a perfect arc with the dead tree as the center!
His blood splashed as he slid, drawing the trajectory of Hades in the air.
His senses were magnified to the extreme, time was like a sticky swamp, and Hades could clearly hear his heart beat slowly.
He was now diagonally above Lord Lazar. The monster was still alive after suffering a strange explosion. His back was cracked and a large amount of blood spurted out like a fountain.
But he was not dead yet. Hades could clearly see his struggling limbs and hear the monster's dying cry.
Good opportunity!!!
Without any hesitation, Hades let the sickle release the branch, and he swung the sickle heavily at the monster's head in the air.
Meanwhile, "HADESH!!!"
The figures of Mortarion and Herrera suddenly appeared on the mountain road above, and along with them appeared a dagger that Mortarion threw at Lazar.
However, Hades, who was in the air, was unaware of all this.
His mind was empty and he was completely focused on the sickle in his hand.
Then, Hades swung down his full moon sickle that harvested death and harvest—
—Heads and blood flew everywhere.
He is the Death Guard, he is the Scythe of Mankind.
The protagonist has a physique that is close to that of an untouchable, but for the sake of convenience, he is later explained as an untouchable.
In the early stage, everyone can just understand the protagonist as a slightly better mutant of the Untouchables.
There is a small bug here. With the physical condition of an ordinary woman, it is unlikely that she can catch up with the Primarch Mortarion's full-speed running. But I think it is necessary to let the girls see the protagonist showing off, so it may be the power of love, maybe.
