Invincible after death, but in Warhammer 40K

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: A Moment of Life and Death



At the instant the blades clashed, the first to suffer was the Chaos Sorcerer.

Because he hadn't anticipated that someone inside the vehicle could withstand the Chaos Space Marine Captain's full-force blow, the recoil transmitted from both Amilia's and the Captain's feet directly and violently shattered the sorcerer's psychic stability.

The entire armored vehicle was hit with a loud bang. If Amilia hadn't activated her jump pack before drawing her sword, it might have directly crushed a small part of the vehicle.

And the Noble Girl decisively seized this moment of the sorcerer's imbalance, dispelling the psychic energy covering the vehicle and replacing it with her own. In the instant the above happened, Amilia and the Chaos Space Marine Captain had already exchanged over a dozen blows.

Returning to the previous moment.

At the instant the blades crossed in a cruciform flash, the Chaos Space Marine Captain immediately realized something somewhat unbelievable:

Although the opponent's technique was still very immature, judging solely from strength, she was already nearly equal to him.

As this thought was born, the recoil that came with the flickering sparks caused the two swords to separate slightly.

Without hesitating for even half a moment on his thought, the Captain actively pressed down his arm. While waiting for Amilia's white sword to return and thrust, the power sword held in his palm didn't retreat but instead advanced, biting onto Amilia's sword blade again.

Although he couldn't suppress Amilia in terms of strength, he was much taller than the latter, which meant his arm span was much longer, giving him a great advantage in attack range.

As long as he held his blade against the opponent's sword and thrust down, he would be able to tear the opponent apart before being killed himself.

This Chaos Space Marine Captain's mind was very clear. He didn't forget his goal – decapitating Zhang Ge.

To this end, he needed to eliminate the obstacle in front of him as quickly as possible, even at the cost of trading injuries for a life.

However, Amilia didn't panic at all because of the blade sticking to her sword and chasing after her. As the lightning-jumping thrust approached, she only slightly twisted her wrist, allowing the crossguard to turn slightly to the side.

The crossguard was the handguard between the hilt and the blade.

When the wrist was turned, the blade continued to move forward to the side, and the crossguard moved its angle accordingly. The right angle on the inside between the crossguard and the blade was turned to a position where it could just catch the enemy's blade in the corner.

In this exchange that occurred in an instant, Amilia dragged the Chaos Space Marine Captain back into a battle of strength. While applying force to raise her arm, the jump pack was slightly adjusted. Combined, the right angle that had caught the opponent's blade pushed his thrust upwards.

If it were a Space Marine, he would have been pierced through the shoulder at this moment, but Amilia was dozens of centimeters shorter than that, and the thrust only scraped across her shoulder armor.

The Chaos Space Marine Captain's eagerness to win quickly, combined with flying using someone else's psychic power, resulted in him being slightly at a disadvantage in the first exchange.

Although he realized that this strike was about to miss, it was too late to withdraw his sword and defend at this moment. So he simply allowed the blade to tilt upwards even more – this action was certainly not for attacking.

As the blade tilted upwards, the pommel of the power sword naturally moved in the opposite direction, slamming downwards.

This hammer-like strike hit the spine of Amilia's extended sword, causing it to deviate from its original trajectory under the heavy force.

With the simultaneous dodging action of the Captain himself, the tip of the sword only cut through the left side of his chest armor, bringing out some broken metal fragments and parts.

After the first exchange, the Chaos Space Marine Captain retreated slightly to create some distance, preventing Amilia from taking advantage of the situation and chasing after him.

His bloodshot eyeballs, filled with blood vessels under his helmet, locked onto the silver-haired Sister in front of him.

Without much talk, even breathing couldn't disrupt the rhythm under the life-and-death struggle.

This short retreat only gave the Chaos Space Marine Captain time to focus all his attention on the person in front of him. In just the next moment, the silver-white figure sending the sword thrust had arrived again.

In mid-air, the flickering sparks flickered continuously with each block, attack, dodge, and trade-off. In the short time that even ordinary people couldn't make an effective response, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows, their figures crisscrossing so fast that only afterimages remained.

After the opponent started to respond seriously, Amilia undoubtedly began to fall into a disadvantage.

Although her body functions could keep up, her skills were still too far behind the Chaos Space Marine Captain.

Better exertion, straighter edge alignment, better parrying.

The initial advantage of the first sword only allowed the Captain to switch to defense for less than a dozen exchanges. After his adjustment was completed, what followed was a dense, impenetrable attack.

First, gaps were broken open in the thick shoulder armor used for blocking, and then a sword grazed past her neck, cutting off countless strands of hair.

Within the almost suffocating sword momentum, the sword in Amilia's hand was finally knocked off after another clash.

Without giving her any chance, the opponent couldn't possibly miss such a big flaw.

The power sword that had knocked her sword down immediately followed with an upward thrust, penetrating the power armor shell without resistance, piercing into her side in the lower abdomen, creating a through-and-through wound under the spilling blood.

Amilia's other hand barely caught up at this moment, gripping the Captain's wrist holding the sword, barely managing to hold it in place.

If it weren't for this grasping hand, or if the strength had relaxed slightly, the next upward thrust would have cut Amilia in half.

But this could only delay the inevitable for a moment. The internal organs, shattered by the power weapon field, would soon cause her to lose strength, and the result would be no different.

There was no expression on the Chaos Space Marine Captain's face. Amilia was the same. Their eyes met.

There was no fear of death in her eyes?

How boring, but let's put aside the matter of finding amusement for later and focus on completing the goal.

His thoughts wandered for a moment, but the experience that had saved him countless times suddenly issued a warning at this moment.

No, that's not right.

The Captain captured something hidden deep in her eyes. She wasn't without fear of death, but still believed that she would achieve the ultimate victory.

Without hesitation, he chose to trust his instincts and released his grip on the sword, allowing him to retract his arm.

Almost immediately after he retracted his arm, another dazzling sword gleam in the night sky entered the corner of his vision. The Captain tilted his body, using the arm armor covering his arm to slam into the blade of the other sword that attacked.

The thrust straight for his throat was deflected slightly to the side, leaving a deep wound of several centimeters on his shoulder.

It was none other than High Canoness Heloise.

However...

The real killing move wasn't this surprise attack.

The momentum created by the High Canoness' attack at this moment was only to cover up.

Cover up the sound from another direction.

It was that sword.

The sword that had previously flown out of Amilia's hand was now rushing back.

Silently, quietly, as if the speed and silence were two extremes, so much so that at this moment, the Captain, who was hurriedly dealing with the High Canoness Heloise's surprise attack, failed to notice.

What Amilia was really betting on was this unexpected trick.

After the initial few rounds of exchange, she had already realized that she was likely unable to win in a head-on confrontation.

But winning with weakness against strength was by no means impossible.
