The Emperor’s Angel of Death

Chapter 3159: Aydark Star

After swallowing the Soul Stone, an unparalleled sense of fullness surged from the depths of its soul. The laughing Keeper of Secrets frantically flicked its tongue, swallowing dozens more Soul Stones in quick succession, causing the remnants of the stolen Aeldari souls to surface on its skin.

Its body became stronger and more radiant, its power began to climb continuously, and the Dark Prince's song danced in its consciousness, echoing in its blade.

"Run, little birds, run! There is no place where the serpent cannot find you~"

Feeling more powerful than ever before, Zarakynel became a terrifying slaughterer, with Aeldari dying under its blade every second.

"The great serpent will eat your eggs, one by one~"

Amidst the laughter, the daemon army charged forward under a hail of cannon fodder, with incomplete corpses marking the destruction they brought. The Aeldari retreated step by step, the daemons hot on their heels. Wherever they passed, twisted bone spurs writhed and protruded, and deformed growths spewed out choking mist. The bone and flesh trees seemed to pierce through walls and steps like living things. Banshees danced and swayed everywhere, indulging in cruel desires on the dying Aeldari.

Suddenly, several dazzling beams of light struck, but Zarakynel simply raised a hand, and the pervasive mist dissolved the energy.

The deployed warp cannons fired but had no effect. Salania stamped her feet anxiously, but she had no way to help. Now, just a glance at that daemon sent sharp pains through her body.

"Ah, there's one, no, two beautiful little birds~"

Zarakynel also noticed Salania and Canelli in the distance, and an evil smile appeared on its face.

"Pluck your feathers and make the most interesting toys. It will certainly be... delightful."

As it spoke, the tendrils behind its head shot out like lightning, accurately hitting several warp cannon platforms, piercing the gunners, and pulling them in front of it at an extreme speed. Then, with a wave of its long blade, several heads flew off precisely, and a sweep of its tongue sent several Soul Stones into its belly.

"Hahaha!"

The next moment, it swept in like a hurricane, ignoring shuriken and lasers, its blade sweeping towards Salania.

"Damn it!"

Salania endured her discomfort and immediately dodged.

"Princess!"

The Kurnathi squad rushed over, trying to attack the Keeper of Secrets and rescue their Corsair Princess, but they were helpless against a Greater Daemon at full strength. With a flick of its tentacles, their armored bodies snapped like twigs, and the whistling blade cut through their twisting bodies at ghostly angles. The daemon blade in Zarakynel's hand was called Soulreaper, and it possessed terrifying power, capable of stealing the souls of the Aeldari at the moment of their death, preventing them from escaping into Soul Stones.

"No!"

Watching her personal guards, who had been with her since childhood, die tragically, Salania roared, blood rushing to her head.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Then she charged forward, her blade slashing at its calf.

The moment the blade touched the daemon's skin, a puff of purplish-pink smoke erupted from the Keeper of Secrets' skin. Salania immediately retreated behind cover, but a tentacle suddenly wrapped around her foot and lifted her directly into the air amidst her screams.

"Little bird~ little bird~"

Zarakynel's evil eyes stared intently at Salania, who was still trying to wave her sword, like an evil cat admiring a goldfish in a tank.

"I am the daughter of Corso! The ancient blood of the stars flows through my veins! I will never yield!"

Suddenly, Salania forcefully threw her sword at its face, then drew two pistols from her waist and fired wildly.

"Hahaha!"

Zarakynel laughed, its tongue directly batting away the sword, while the shots didn't even break its skin. After absorbing a large number of Aeldari souls, its power had reached an unprecedented height. Now it was confident that even a Daemon Prince standing before it would not be its match.

At this moment, a small phoenix suddenly rushed over and slammed into the Keeper of Secrets' chest, causing it to let out a shriek, and its perfect skin instantly ignited with platinum flames.

"Damn it!"

Amidst the roar, surging warp energy poured out of the Keeper of Secrets. The souls that should have belonged to its master were temporarily "intercepted" by it, turning into more power for itself, instantly extinguishing the flames. Then it slashed out with its sword, blasting apart an anti-gravity tank that was firing, and the violent explosion sent Canelli, who had just "bailed out," flying. Originally, she could have run, but she couldn't bear to see Salania in danger and used her last "life-saving charm." It was a one-time weapon used by the Phoenix Guard, called Thousand Flames Convergence, similar to a grenade, but combined with dimensional and psychic energy. It was something the Phoenix Lord had "messed around" with one day. Ordinary daemons couldn't withstand it, and it was almost impossible to dodge, but it was a bit dangerous.

But because it was personally made by the Phoenix Lord, and this one rarely stayed in the Royal Court, its quantity was extremely small.

"Ah!"

Dizzy, Canelli stood up, realizing that she had reached a critical moment of life and death. As the Corsair Princess of the Steel Eyes, and a powerful psyker, she also had her trump card. She turned her palm and grabbed a rune from the void, raising it high in both hands, as if making a plea to some invisible force.

In the turbulent warp, it was difficult to control and mobilize one's power, but Canelli did it, doing everything she could to summon the most deadly form of psychic power she knew—a Doombolt.

"In the name of Hæth! Annihilate my enemies!"

As Canelli chanted, a pod-like blue-white lightning arc swept over, and the dazzling bolts of light slammed into the bands of light coiling around the Keeper of Secrets, relentlessly searching for weaknesses within. At the same time, the rune burned with its final light, and unimaginable energy poured through, becoming hotter and brighter every second.

"Hahaha! Pathetic trick!"

But Zarakynel was completely fearless of this terrifying energy. The lightning unleashed by the Doombolt collided with the fury it unleashed, stirring up earth-shattering howls that shook the mind and blasted the senses.

As the rune flashed like a star for the last moment, Canelli was blasted away by the enormous energy and realized she had made a mistake—Soulreaper was not only a daemon sword but also a witchbane.

But before she could land, a tentacle tightly wrapped around her slender waist, lifting her into the air as well.

"Hmm~ The taste of sin."

Zarakynel twitched its nose, staring at Canelli, who was pale and could only struggle weakly, and let out a mocking laugh.

"...an immoral pleasure."

Before it could utter the last word, a swift figure flashed past it, and a blade severed the tentacle.

"Hold on tight!"

Ivan accurately caught the two ladies on the back of the Death Talon and made a 180-degree turn amidst the daemon's angry roar. Thanks to the Venom Wyvern's inherent characteristics, it was not as affected by the daemons and had become more agile than an airship at this moment.
