OBS Chapter 238 Reason
Chapter 238 Reason
"Hey! Hey!" Howard shouted to Gloria and Mei as they fell, braving the strong wind. "Do you have any other options?"
The tower is about three kilometers high. If you free fall from this height without any protection, even a Primaris Space Marine would have to think twice. For ordinary people in 40k, the only outcome of a hard landing is death.
Gloria said nothing as she pulled out her explosives and fired rapidly. However, her purpose was not to kill the enemy but to use the recoil of the explosives to adjust her falling posture and regain her balance.
After regaining her balance, Gloria grabbed Howard again with one hand and grabbed Mei's shoulder with her other hand. Then, a blazing white light overflowed from her eyes, cold frost condensed from the air, and Gloria's descent speed instantly slowed down.
Howard almost forgot that although this girl's fighting style was like a berserker, she was still a psychic unit after all. Even though her psychic power was insignificant compared to those strong ones, it was still easy for her to fly for a short time.
Soon, Gloria's psychic energy formed a bubble-thin barrier beneath them. Howard's toes touched the barrier and it felt like a real object. The bullets fired by the orcs below bombarded the barrier, splashing water-like patterns.
Mei, who is also a psychic, did not help this time because she had already used her psychic power once. The psychic talent of the Eldar is far higher than that of ordinary humans, but the Eldar treat psychic power more cautiously than humans. Because the birth of Slaanesh has left a mark on the soul of every Eldar, and now they are far away from the Prophet, every time she uses psychic power is a huge risk for her.
The danger of falling to death seemed to have been resolved, but the danger of being killed by orcs still existed. Gloria's psychic power could make them land slowly, but it was not enough to carry them flying.
"puff!"
Just as Howard was thinking this, Gloria, who was using her psychic power, began to bleed from her nose. When she used her psychic power, her pupils were filled with pure white light, and now a storm was hanging over the originally calm white lake. Countless blue lightning flashed through the dark clouds, and twisted blasphemous symbols continued to appear.
Howard's eyelids twitched. It seemed that this girl was about to be possessed by chaos?
Gloria's psychic power is not strong, but stable. Of course, if it were the other way around, she wouldn't be alive today.
After arriving in the orcs' territory, she was suppressed by the ubiquitous orcs' psychic energy and could only barely survive by drinking Howard's blood. Now, she had to open the psychic barrier while slowing down her descent, which was a heavy load for her, and naturally gave the subspace creatures an opportunity to take advantage.
When Gloria showed abnormal behavior, the psychic barrier below Howard also flickered, and it seemed that it could break at any time, but at this time neither May nor Howard had the time to take care of it.
The loss of control of a psychic is serious. At the very least, he will explode like those orc wizards, and at the worst, he will turn into a subspace creature and enter the real universe.
In other words, at this moment, Gloria is at most a bomb, or a dirty bomb. If it is a little worse, she may directly become a monster spawner.
Faced with the Battle Sister who was being possessed by Chaos, Mei came up with her solution. She took out her weapon and stabbed the Battle Sister in the throat.
More than fifty hours ago, when the Sister of Silence first tried to detonate the orc wizard on the battlefield, a more cunning orc saw through the Sister of Silence's plan and gave a solution. At this time, Mei's solution was exactly the same as that orc's.
This has nothing to do with personal grudges, this is for your own good.
"Crack!"
There was the sound of a blade piercing flesh, but it wasn't Gloria's throat that was pierced, but Howard's palm.
At the last moment, Howard blocked May's attack with his hands.
Then Howard clenched his pierced hand and pulled the dagger from May's hand.
I know this has nothing to do with personal grudges, but she's not beyond saving yet.
Howard gave May a look to express his gratitude. He knew that this bean sprout only looked slender. In fact, her strength was not as strong as ten of his combined. If she was unwilling to stop, she could have pierced his own hand with the dagger and cut off the battle nun's head at the same time. The fact that he was able to pull the knife out of her hand was purely because this bean sprout was willing to let him pull it out.
Then Howard pulled out the dagger that had pierced his palm and slapped Gloria's forehead with his bleeding hand.
It has been proven many times that his blood can block the influence of the warp, so, Sister, take this sanity-restoring palm from me.
A slap on the forehead instantly extinguished the arcs of light in the Sister's pupils, and the barrier below was also extinguished. The Sister possessed a superhuman willpower. Even when her mind was struggling against the forces of chaos, she did not give up on maintaining this psychic barrier. However, this time Howard had effectively cut off the power supply. No matter how strong the Sister's will was, without electricity, it could not move.
The rescued nun tilted her head back and lost consciousness, but at this time they were still about 300 meters from the ground, and the height had already entered the orcs' firing range. Before, when they were on the top of the three-kilometer-high tower, only a few shells could fall on them, but now tens of thousands or even more cannons were pointed at them. This level of firepower could cover the entire sky even if they fired indiscriminately with their eyes closed. After losing the barrier of the combat nun, the two of them and the elves were not hit by bullets. It could only be said that it was the blessing of Om Messiah.
Wait! Ohm Messiah!
Howard suddenly remembered that he still had this card that he hadn't used.
Then he grabbed May's hand, because May was trying to use psychic power again at this time, and Howard grabbed it with his bloody hand and also extinguished the psychic light that had just lit up in her hand.
Howard knew that the Eldar carried a great risk in using psychic powers. He also knew that with his presence in the Slaanesh camp, Mei would definitely not be possessed by her. But what if he and Mei separated? He didn't want this bean sprout to be captured by Slaanesh the moment he left.
The curse that Slaanesh cast on the Eldar was a rule-based curse. Even the Eldar's prophets and surviving gods could only circumvent it by finding loopholes in the terms. Even though Slaanesh might pay a little attention to this Eldar due to his own existence, he could not pay attention to him forever.
May, who was caught by Howard, opened her eyes wide, and for the first time, confusion and shock appeared in her eyes.
Three hundred meters—this height was no problem for either the Sisters of Battle or the Eldar. The Sisters of Battle wore power armor. Although it looked like a bulky tin can, it was actually a genuine product of technology, with internal shock absorption sufficient to allow the wearer to fall from this height without injury. Similarly, due to their racial innate abilities, falls from this height were not a big problem for them.
The only difference is that Howard has an ordinary physique and has no protection. Even if he has the blessing of the goddess of life, the chance of death from falling from this height is still too great for Mei to accept.
