Even the Chaos Space Marine Captain wasn't powerful enough to foresee the future.
After he swung his arm to block High Canoness Heloise's sword, his body had already twisted to the side, positioned between the High Canoness and Amilia. His other hand also took over the sword hilt, but this time, he changed the direction of force.
Just as he wanted to break out from the side with his power sword, he felt his power armor being penetrated from behind, followed by an unprecedented burning sensation.
The sword pierced at an incredible speed, almost instantly piercing the armor plate that was very sturdy against most weapons. It then proceeded to enter the Captain's heart from his back, until it pierced through the blood-pumping organ and emerged from his chest.
The sword purged of corruption burned the Warp taint within the Chaos Space Marine Captain's body, spreading outward like the most deadly toxin.
Just like the previous attack on Amilia, now a simple sideways slash would split him in two from the inside out.
However, at the same time that the sword tip pierced through his chest, a hand also clamped down.
When he realized he was being ambushed, the Captain didn't hesitate despite having his heart pierced.
He abandoned the pursuit of Amilia, flew a short distance backward while pulling out his power sword, and used his height advantage to force High Canoness Heloise back again with a kick.
While these actions were taking place, his hand was raised and placed on the opposite side of the point of penetration that he sensed.
At the moment the sword appeared, he clenched his fist down without hesitation. Although the edges of the sword inevitably embedded themselves in his palm again, the sword itself was also firmly gripped by him.
Enduring the burning sensation that brought no pleasure or Chaos blessings, but was instead filled with the aura of some unspeakable entity, the Chaos Space Marine Captain forcibly twisted the front of the sword while pulling it out, tearing open a large enough breach.
Then, he forced the entire sword through this breach, through his body, and pulled it out, completely shattering his heart in the process.
For a normal person, this kind of injury would basically be a death sentence.
But he was a Space Marine, with two hearts, three lungs.
The Captain rarely showed an expression, but now revealed a hint of disgust towards the sword in his palm that wanted to break free.
He looked towards Zhang Ge's location and threw the sword fiercely in that direction, causing it to shoot out like a javelin.
As for the injuries on his own body, even for him, who was more favored than ordinary humans, this level of injury couldn't be healed in a short time. Moreover, the burning sensation that penetrated deep into his bones was preventing the wound from healing itself.
Before turning his sword to meet High Canoness Heloise's pursuing attack, he flicked his sword slightly, which caused the recoil to be slightly greater than the High Canoness expected, increasing the distance between the blades.
Although this new enemy in front of him had more experience than the previous one, her physical capabilities were too far apart.
After making this assessment, he used this attack to exert his strength advantage. Similarly, the sword was bounced away by the recoil, but he was able to re-concentrate his strength and deliver the next sword strike faster than Heloise.
This sword grazed past the High Canoness' shoulder, bringing out blood and fragmented components.
The Captain used this gap to observe the situation with the sword he had thrown.
Unsurprisingly, the sword failed to pass Amilia. As it approached her, it changed direction and returned to her hand.
While thinking, he continued to create several wounds on the High Canoness' body by using this blocking counterattack and relying on his physical qualities to endure the attacks.
After realizing that she couldn't continue like this, the latter stopped her offensive, and the two sides fell into a strange standoff.
On the other side, Amilia quickly treated the abdominal breach where blood and internal organs were flowing out with synth-flesh, and came to Heloise's side, beginning to fly around the Captain, trying to get behind him.
The abdominal injury wasn't fatal. Even if she would be weakened somewhat, he was weakening faster and to a greater extent. He had now lost the ability to kill the two people in front of him in a short time.
After realizing that he couldn't breach the defense formed by the two in a short time, the Chaos Space Marine Captain made a decision and signaled behind him.
Bang.
Three thunderclaps sounded simultaneously on the ground, and pink-purple Warp lightning streamed out. Three Chaos Terminators in ornate armor appeared via teleportation behind the building's windows.
They held rotary assault cannons that could easily tear apart armored vehicles in their hands. Their target was now the two Sisters flying in the sky.
The gun barrels rotated, and bullets flew out. The Captain, who had blocked the two for a few more sword strikes, also flew towards the Terminators. The three streams of bullets that were fired prevented the two from continuing to pursue.
While one aspect was spreading a suppressive fire against the Sisters, one Terminator raised the multi-melta in his other hand. Immediately, several missiles that could shatter the light armored vehicle howled as they slammed down.
But unsurprisingly, they failed to achieve their goal. As the missiles approached, a cobalt energy shield lit up. The ion shield, strong enough to withstand artillery fire, easily eliminated these explosives.
The four slowly retreated and disappeared from sight.
And at this moment, the Noble Girl, who had been trying to wrestle control of the vehicle's exterior from the Chaos Sorcerer, suddenly felt the pressure ease.
This easing of pressure caused her to faint.
One side retreated, the other fainted.
The light armored vehicle, still in the sky, naturally fell towards the ground under the planet's gravity.
However, before the vehicle could hit the ground, an Honor Guard Dreadnought in the convoy stepped forward. After inserting its huge power sword into the ground, it freed one hand. When the falling object was about to hit, it raised its hand and the other side of its gun body.
The two objects collided, making a sound of squeezing and twisting metal.
Under the impact of this moment of contact, the Honor Guard Dreadnought orderly retreated a few steps while retracting its arm to cushion the impact, steadily catching the vehicle that should have slammed heavily on the ground.
Even so, the remaining three people in the vehicle didn't fare well, but at least they didn't have to make intimate contact with the ground.
After the Honor Guard Dreadnought put down the light armored vehicle, the two Sisters in the sky also landed at this time.
And the convoy finally stopped because of this sudden change. Although reason kept everyone in their positions, began to be vigilant around to prevent a second attack, but everyone was also worried about the situation inside that vehicle.
Before Amilia could pull open the car door, Zhang Ge had already opened the door from the inside and walked out.
After being tossed back and forth and finally being hit hard at the end, he was dazed even though he had been enhanced. However, after getting out of the car, his first words to Amilia, who came up to support him, were:
"Send... send people to... to the location of their breach... there... there must be a lot of people killed there now... the offensive can't have any loopholes."
