bdsm-fiction Chapter 54 Evasion
Chapter 54 Evasion
He had no choice but to abandon the idea of kicking out and dodge the attack.
The spiritual energy attached to the sword instantly invaded his breastplate as it grazed it, forming fine ice crystals on the breastplate.
With the shield that constantly surrounded him and the psionic energy attached to his greatsword, Tie Hui managed to force the Astartes into a passive defensive position for a time.
This cramped space gave Tie Hui, who was smaller in stature, a great advantage.
Even Tie Hui had no choice but to shrink and enlarge the shield that could restrict people's movement speed from time to time.
This caused Astartes to slow down and change speed from time to time.
After several attempts, the ceramic steel armor on his chest had been scratched several times.
I have no reaction to the purity mark on the terracotta armor.
Clearly, the psionicist before them was not a corrupted Chaos Psionicist; on the contrary, they could feel a calming effect emanating from him.
and so……
Okay, he admits it!
It's just that I can't win this person over in a short time.
As a veteran, Cage discovered that there is no end to learning.
He now only felt that he had disgraced the God-Emperor and the Son of Dorne.
Tie Hui's chest heaved as he breathed heavily. He was truly exhausted at this moment, having drawn psionic energy from the subspace multiple times in succession.
He could vaguely sense some subtle gazes directed at them, and the repeated extractions were putting a strain on his mind: "I'm telling you, you don't need to make such a big deal out of this. I'm the Emperor's Chosen. No matter what, you still have to kneel and bow to me. If you were truly a heretic or chaos, wouldn't the mark of purity on you have already reacted?"
Cage was already struggling with guilt and remorse, and this interruption allowed him to hear what he had said.
His face flushed instantly, and he became even more furious.
"heresy……"
Upon hearing the angry growl, Tie Hui instantly realized something was wrong.
He felt he hadn't said anything wrong, but looking at the other person's ready-to-attack stance, he knew he couldn't defeat him in a short time.
But then he thought about the emperor's warning.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth!
"look!"
Tie Hui took out the True Knowledge Crystal Ball, or Emperor Crystal Ball, directly from his spatial storage.
Cage, who was about to charge, paused for a moment, looking at the ordinary crystal ball with a puzzled expression.
Tie Hui, on the other hand, was full of confidence: "I've already brought this out, you should finally agree, right?"
But after several seconds, there was still no sound.
Tie Hui's smile froze, and he felt incredibly embarrassed, as if the cawing of crows could be heard in the air.
He immediately retrieved the crystal ball and waved it vigorously in front of his eyes.
He kept muttering to himself, "Damn, this shouldn't be. Could it be that you've captured another weasel?"
Knock, tap, shake.
Then I felt that leaving Astartes out of the picture was disrespectful.
All I could do was force a smile and say, "Please wait a moment."
Cage felt even more insulted at this point, having been tricked twice in a row.
"Heretic, today I will make you wash away my shame with your blood."
Upon hearing this, Tie Hui panicked instantly.
He hurriedly shook the crystal ball in his hand, shouting, "You little weasel, you let me down at the crucial moment!"
Cage heard the words "yellow weasel" again. Although he didn't know who it referred to, judging from the context, it was clearly an insult directed at the Emperor.
This is an unforgivable sin, and it must be transformed into a machine servant.
Do not……
That's too lenient on him.
Tie Hui was sweating profusely with anxiety. No matter how much he tried to activate his spiritual energy, the crystal ball in his hand remained completely still.
Tie Hui looked at Astartes' unstoppable momentum, then at the crystal ball in his hand.
He immediately hardened his heart, activated his spiritual energy, and vanished in a flash.
This startled Cage, who was still charging forward, and he immediately began to survey his surroundings.
However, no matter how they searched, they could not detect the life signal of the psychic from before.
This enraged Cage, who slammed his fist against the wall, leaving a fist-sized dent.
But he immediately turned around and went to the place where the psionicist had been warming himself by the fire and eating.
After carefully examining the ground, he cautiously used the tip of his knife to pick up the debris.
The servo skull then slowly floated out from behind.
After moving aside, the mechanical electronic eye emitted a green light, scanning the fire and the food residue on the knife tip.
Cage was somewhat shocked as he looked at the data transmitted from the servo skull, not because the thing was clean and free of chaos infection.
Rather, it was because the scan revealed that the food residue on the knife tip contained extremely high energy, even comparable to the food Astartes ate.
After taking off his helmet, he used his fingers to pick up food scraps and carefully put them to his mouth.
The taste is very good, and the aroma is also very fragrant. However, the provided item information is very limited, only basic information about the item is available.
Oil, salt, sugar, flour...
The servo skull then scanned him as well, providing new data.
Cage looked at the new data with surprise, as the scan had just revealed the results.
His fatigue level decreased by 0.07%, and his energy was slightly replenished.
Cage immediately realized this was a good thing, and then carefully collected the other food scraps on the ground.
He then looked again at the servo skull to examine the genetic residue extracted from the pile of items.
【Iron Radiance Owasekto!】
The wandering merchant—the second son of the Ovasecto family…
Cage stared into thought as he looked at the historical data about Tie Hui's life that had been brought up.
He was particularly stunned for a moment when he first saw the gray half-body portrait at the top.
Shift your gaze to the bottom, where three large, scarlet characters are displayed.
[Confirmed dead!]
Cage was at a loss for words. A person who was clearly confirmed dead had appeared on the lower deck of the warship.
And he's a psionicist.
This whole thing is eerie!
Despite the Empire's apparent alarm over AI, many upper-class nobles have long been using various forms of the internet.
However, due to various restrictions, it has always been a private network jointly established by several nobles in a region or a private intranet built by individual nobles within their manors.
However, given the empire's massive population, even if it's just a noble in one region, the total number across the entire empire would be enormous.
Therefore, even regional networks, whose activity levels are limited by the number of nobles and the level of technology, are less exciting than networks in the 2K era, with most of the content being about emperors and state religions.
but……
This is the frontier of the empire, where many contraband items circulate, not to mention things on the internet.
As for Astartes—
It should be used with "caution".
