Chapter 874, Dismemberment
The beginning of the battle is the most difficult time.
The four God-chosen champions had already done their best to improve their assessment of Bone Crusher's strength before the battle.
After seeing how he killed the top Zerg units, you have to take it seriously.
However, no matter how much expectations you have in your mind, they are far less stressful than the pressure you will experience when you actually encounter it.
It's just like a nightmare!
Martins never thought that a battle could be fought like this!
Not to mention the overwhelming force of the Broken Bone, a casual blow would require all of your strength to resist;
Not to mention his swift figure. Although he was huge and wearing heavy armor, he was also very flexible and agile, making it very difficult to hit him.
Just talking about his fighting skills alone, it is terrifying.
Axes, fists, feet, guns and cannons extending from any part of the equipment...all offensive weapons can be taken out at any time and pose a deadly threat at any time.
The angle and the way it comes will appear in the most unexpected way.
Or maybe it is that you can clearly foresee it, but you can't avoid it and you can only endure it.
What was even more terrifying was the so-called "space folding" characteristic mentioned in the previous analysis of the combat power of Broken Bone by the General Staff. This guy's movements were not just agile, but also showed a way that violated the physical characteristics: there seemed to be no such thing as inertia in him. In the fierce charge, he could strangely draw a right angle and instantly change the direction of the attack. His battle axe was just raised in the previous moment, and in the next moment it was on his face, as if there was no swinging process in between.
After encountering this twice, Martins even suspected that he was distracted.
This form of fighting is really uncomfortable.
In a short while, Martins was beaten into a cold sweat.
Both times, he felt like death had just passed him by.
The first time, he suffered a great loss. The special version of the shield equipped on the Terminator armor was directly shattered.
The second time, even though he was alert and raised his sword to block, he was still almost defeated by the tremendous force.
Fortunately, his comrades came to his aid quickly and diverted Broken Bones' attention. Although a heavy particle ray immediately penetrated Martins' armor and injured his abdomen, Martins took the opportunity to slash with an angry sword, leaving a deep wound on Broken Bones' body.
However, helping his comrades did not have such a good outcome.
The 'living saint' Grit desperately came up to help Martins absorb the attention, which indeed saved Martins and even created an opportunity for him to deal effective damage.
However, the enraged Broken Bones launched a series of frantic attacks, all directed at Grit.
Rizzo and Ewing rushed forward to share the pressure, but Broken Bones didn't care at all. Even though he was bitten by the Bite Shark Sword, leaving a deep bloody mark on his body, and was hit by the Emperor's Scepter, leaving a dent on his heavy armor, he remained unmoved and insisted on killing Grit.
But what was even more surprising was that the Living Saint also fought very bravely, as if he didn't care at all about the huge gap in strength between the two sides, and he fought head-on with Broken Bone.
The three scars were left on Broken Bones by the holy golden halberd in her hand at this time.
This also shows how powerful Grit is with the blessing of divine power - despite withstanding Bonebreaker's battle axe, the guns attached to the mecha, her powerful strength, strange skills, and incredible spatial folding, she was still able to hurt Bonebreaker.
The white wings were covered with lightning, allowing Grit to move very quickly. She could also find more threatening angles in mid-air and launch attacks that were more difficult for the enemy to defend against.
The electric shock from the whistling wings would cause the body to be paralyzed for a moment, even if it broke bones.
The holy gold halberd covered with golden lightning can break through the defense every time.
However, she did all this at a huge price.
Furious, Bonebreaker roared and slashed at Grit with his battle axe again and again, using all the skills he had mastered.
If you really compare, Grit's injuries were much more serious than broken bones.
The folding of space made the battle axe come extremely suddenly, and even the Valkyrie Terminator armor blessed by divine power could not withstand it; the battle axe would also split into several circular saws, rotating and sawing Grit's wings that were harder than steel, causing the feathers to fly.
The most terrifying thing was that after Grit left the third scar on Broken Bones' body, Broken Bones launched a fierce counterattack.
The axe hit Grit's right shoulder directly.
This blow of his axe was a full-strength attack.
Grit was trying to dodge but couldn't; she used her wings to block, and her right wing was chopped off; then, the battle axe continued to move forward and hit her shoulder armor hard.
Similar to most human armor, the Valkyrie armor's shoulder defense is almost the hardest part. Not to mention, Grit's armor is also blessed with divine power, so the defense is even better.
However, under the blow of Bone Crusher, even the hardest part of the armor could not withstand it.
He actually chopped off Grace's entire right shoulder, along with her right wing, half of her right shoulder blade, one-fifth of her chest, and her entire right arm!
The huge exposed wound looked extremely terrifying!
Despite the severe pain, Grit still managed to hold back from screaming.
But even though he managed not to cry out, this injury could be considered fatal.
Even though Grit didn't die immediately, she was still in midair without her wings, and inevitably fell down with her body tilted. Her arms were cut off, her weapons fell, and she couldn't fight back anymore.
And Broken Bones looked like he was going to take advantage of the situation to give chase.
The three Space Marine God-chosen champions nearby also rushed over at full speed to save their comrades.
No matter how much they blamed Grit for her reckless behavior, they had to rescue her at least at this time.
Otherwise, with Grit's ferocity attracting the Bonebreaker King's attention, their battle was already so difficult, not to mention after Grit was killed.
By then, there will be only three of them left, and they don’t know how to face the attack of the Bone Crusher King. The pressure on everyone will become greater.
Although, even if Grit's life could be saved, her current state is probably no different from being dead...
But unfortunately, they failed to rescue Grit.
The Bonebreaker King's murderous intent is much stronger than imagined.
He still ignored the attacks of the three men and was determined to kill Grit.
There were multiple wounds on his back and arms.
Among them, the most dangerous one came from Ewing - the shark biter tried to cut the orc king on the back of the neck.
Seizing this opportunity, Ewing even wondered if it would be possible to behead him with just one sword and end the battle once and for all.
It is said that Grace is very reckless, and this Broken Bone is also very reckless.
However, Bonebreaker's recklessness is based on his powerful fighting ability.
He could ignore the damage that he could tolerate in order to kill the strongest enemy; he also had ways to deal with such dangerous damage.
Two nozzles suddenly opened from the back of his armor, and a thick green liquid flame was violently sprayed out.
The exposed back of the neck became a trap.
Ewing had to give up this wonderful opportunity.
It's not that he doesn't have courage. If he could exchange his life for Broken Bones', he would do it.
However, he judged that even if he insisted on chopping it off, his bones would not be shattered. And he would surely die under this gushing liquid green fire.
However, even though he made a decisive decision, he was too close and was eventually sprayed with green fire. The shield was quickly burned through, and a little bit of it was left, which infected half of his helmet and burned inside like a gangrene.
After Ewing fell to the ground, he didn't even have time to get up. The first thing he did was to take off his helmet and throw it away.
When he looked up again, he saw Grit's beautiful head flying up.
She was beheaded.
But even so, the broken bones were not enough. The battle axe split into multiple circular saws, and in just two seconds, the living saint's body was completely dismembered!
At this moment, Martins and Rizzo had just dodged the green fire and surrounded it again, but they were swept away by Broken Bones and both retreated again.
The two men retreated to Ewing, who had just stood up. The one thing they had in common was that their expressions were equally serious.
Now...what should I do?
This was also what Broken Bone wanted to express as he turned around and faced them with a grim smile.
Those shrimps... are very strong.
But that’s it.
He raised his battle axe and walked towards the three people with slow but heavy steps, stepping on the ground one by one.
Each blow seemed to step on the hearts of the three God-chosen champions.
But after all, this is not a battle for Martins and the other three.
At this moment, two fully charged plasma guns fired from behind Broken Bone.
Just like the advantage that Boneshard has over the four God-chosen champions, the Space Marines' chapter champions also have an overwhelming advantage over the warriors under Boneshard's command.
It’s mainly the advantage of numbers.
The average combat power of an orc warlord might be similar to that of a warband champion, or even slightly stronger. But on average, each of them had to face the siege of three to five warband champions.
The outcome is quite clear.
An orc warrior has already died, and the warrior champions who have spared their time have begun to support the battle here.
However, the Waagh force field appeared, blocking the two beams. Bonebreaker raised his left hand and fired the huge revolver to fight back.
While three shots blew up the entire upper body of a chapter champion, he didn't even turn his head to that side. He was still staring at Martins and the other two with a hideous smile, and his pace didn't slow down at all.
The huge revolver reloads itself with ammunition under the mechanical structure, ready to fight the second championship.
But at this moment, a powerful psychic shock wave attacked from the side.
The waagh force field reappeared, but this time it failed to block it perfectly.
Broken Bones was pushed and staggered.
At the same time, the psychic power took this opportunity to condense into a ten-meter-long giant sword of light and slashed towards him.
Bonebreaker stepped back with one foot to resist the psychic shockwave, raised the axe with both hands, and fought hard with the giant sword of light, breaking it into pieces.
An A-level psychic's eyes exploded and he collapsed dejectedly.
This is the price.
However, there were more than a hundred A-level psychics participating in the battle!
The most elite part of the Storm Mage Corps gathered here. Under the leadership of six S-class psykers, they isolated the two great shamans under Bonebreaker as soon as the battle began.
At this time, the two big shamans had been beaten to pieces, and under the infusion of spiritual energy, they had turned into two headless corpses.
The freed up psionic mages, under the leadership of six S-class psionicists, will gather their strength and use it. They will be a force that is not weaker than, or even stronger than, the God-chosen champion - at least that is the case when less than half of the psionicists have been killed by Bonesmacker's counterattack.
On the other side, more chapter champions had already dealt with the opponents in front of them, and then began to attack Bonebreaker fearlessly.
The more conservative ones bombarded from a distance with bolters, melta throwers, plasma weapons, and individual missiles; the more aggressive ones had already drawn out melee weapons and surrounded and approached.
Martins, Ewing and Rizzo stopped waiting.
Now that things have come to this, the only option is to fight to the death!
There were only three of them who could withstand the broken bones head-on.
They also changed their strategy. Instead of using force like before, they turned to focusing on containment.
In addition, after previous contact, they are familiar with the bone-crushing ability, so it will be safer to deal with it.
With the help of a large number of chapter champions and psychic groups, the battle situation stabilized for a while.
Although from time to time, there would still be an A-class psyker who died suddenly in a fierce confrontation. There were also chapter champions who were caught making mistakes and were killed by Bonesmackers with a single counterattack, either with a battle axe or a gun.
But at the same time, as the battle progressed, new wounds continued to appear on Broken Bones' body.
His armor was even on the verge of being damaged.
Without the super heavy armor, he would not be completely powerless. But he could not completely ignore material things, and his combat strength would inevitably be affected.
At this moment, Broken Bone was completely in a frenzy. This battle really made him feel extremely satisfied!
He enjoyed the thrill of fighting the strongest opponents, and even more so the temperature of the hot blood spurting out when he chopped off their heads and tore their bodies apart.
Fight, fight, fight!
The more serious his injuries became, the more his fighting power was damaged, but his momentum was constantly accumulating and strengthening.
On the other hand, humans are resilient through dedication and sacrifice.
It is still unknown who will win.
And in this anxious core battlefield, there was an ethereal hymn being chanted unconsciously.
Dozens of combat nuns with jetpacks and small lightning wings were floating in the sky at a height of about twenty meters.
The hymns came out of their mouths.
At the beginning, no one cared. Everyone was focused on the life-and-death struggle. Who had time to listen to music?
But as the sound of the hymn gradually became more solid, it seemed as if there was some existence, just like the sound of the song, moving from nothingness to reality.
By the end, the chants were too loud to be ignored.
The grand light formed a gate to heaven among the nuns.
Golden arcs decorated the door frame, and an angel with wings on his back walked out of the door.
The living saint who was killed by broken bones and even dismembered has been resurrected!
