Warhammer 40 A New Hope

Seeing Pyrrha reveal her face, Nezuko tilted her head with a puzzled look, and soon the rest of the team also revealed their faces.

"We are here..."

"We'll help you get rid of these evil spirits!" Nora interrupted Lian and spoke first. "Don't worry, we're all professionals!"

"Nora, you scared her..."

Just as JNPR went to the back of the train to rescue ordinary people, Team RWBY, who was heading to the front of the train, also began fighting with Nightmare, who had become one with the train.

One after another, flesh tentacles stretched out from the locomotive head, which was no longer recognizable, and smashed towards the motorcycles chasing him, but they were all dodged. Then, incendiary bombs exploded on their twisted bodies.

"cover!"

After Yang finished speaking, he steered his motorcycle closer to the front of the car that was wrapped in twisting flesh and blood, and found the right moment to jump on with Black.

However, the blood vampire magic released by Nightmare did not have the expected effect, and the two humans who boarded her body did not fall into a deep sleep.

The singularity items brought out from the urban world - the [Moonstone] accessories that are prepared for large-scale purchase. This kind of singularity item is not only beautiful, but can also effectively target a series of mental attacks and can effectively deal with a series of situations.

His most powerful attack was ineffective, causing Nightmare to fall into a brief state of shock. During this short period of time, Yang had already gathered his strength and punched the ground covered with flesh and blood, unleashing full force!

BOOM!

The flesh and blood covering the surface of the train was directly shattered by this blow, revealing a spine covered with cracks. At the same time, the stunned Nightmare also reacted at this time, and countless hands made of flesh and blood grabbed Yang and Black.

Seeing this, Yang threw several melta grenades to the ground, and then Black behind her hugged her and activated his [Outward Force].

Black's [Outward Force] is a short-distance teleportation, leaving a shadow in place. Depending on the medium used, the shadow can also be composed of different substances.

Yang and Black disappeared from the spot, and in their place appeared an afterimage made of flames. Nightmare, who had never seen such a situation before, grabbed the two's hands and reached directly into the flames.

The scorching flames immediately engulfed the palm made of flesh and blood, and then the melta grenade placed on the ground exploded.

BOOM--!

The high temperature was enough to melt the armor of some heavy vehicles. Even though Yang and Black were far away, they could still feel the heat.

Nightmare, who was the target of the explosion, could feel the heat directly. His spine was melted and the surrounding flesh and blood was instantly ignited and then turned into a pile of ash. The heat even spread along his flesh and blood.

He couldn't understand why these weapons could cause such great harm to him when he didn't use the Sun Blade, didn't touch the purple wisteria flowers, or let him see the sunlight directly? !

This is difficult for them to imagine, and they cannot imagine the destructive power of powerful weapons from tens of thousands of years later.

The spread of flesh and blood began to slow down, and Nightmare needed to spend more energy to resist the damage of the melta grenade. At the same time, he also needed to eat more people to obtain the energy needed for healing.

However, when he tried to manipulate his flesh and blood to obtain food from the completely corroded carriage at the rear, he found that an airtight metal wall had separated him from the uncorroded carriage.

boom--!

Nora, after being strongly amplified, smashed the metal barrier constructed by Pyrrha with a hammer at full capacity, knocking it and the flesh arm blocked by it back.

At the same time, the train carriages that had not yet been eroded by the Nightmare's flesh and blood were also separated from the front part.

"No--!"

Nightmare's plan was completely disrupted. Even though he had absorbed a lot of the Demon King Muzan's blood and was strengthened a lot, he still had to face failure due to this sudden change.

For Tanjiro and others who had just awakened, these helpers of unknown origin enabled them to complete their mission very smoothly, and more people survived as a result.

"Ah! Damn it! You stole my prey!"

"Inosuke, wait..."

Tanjiro, who wanted to stop Inosuke, was stunned for a moment when he saw the 'boar-head' being knocked down by the girl called Nora.

Is there anyone more powerful than Inosuke?!

At this time, Kyojuro, the [Flame Pillar], also fully woke up. Just when everyone thought that this was the end and were about to start accommodating the ordinary people on the train, a strong smell of demons was detected by Tanjiro.

Kyojuro, the [Flame Pillar], also became alert after noticing the unusual aura.

And there are enemies!

405. Military Training in Progress (V)

The violent explosion caused the entire locomotive to derail from the tracks, flipping sideways on the ground and sliding forward. The scorching flames still clung to Nightmare's flesh and blood, burning him.

The healing speed had obviously slowed down, but Team RWBY was still attacking him, with one incendiary bomb after another exploding on his body.

Even the most common incendiary bombs in modern times have an explosion temperature of over 100 degrees, and the actual thermite incendiary bomb can reach 3,000 degrees. This high temperature is more than enough for ghosts, not to mention the black technology bullets from 40K, their explosion temperature is definitely higher, not lower.

After another round of attacks, there was not much left of the body of the lower-rank demon named Nightmare. The continuous attacks and the lack of food to replenish his strength had greatly depleted his recovery ability.

The remaining pieces of his flesh fell to the ground, twisting helplessly. Although he did not die due to the ghost's unique self-healing ability and strong vitality, he could no longer maintain his basic human form.

An eye appeared on the flesh, staring fiercely at Ruby who was approaching him, and activated his hypnotic ability once again.

There was still no effect. Compared to those strange anomalies in the [city], these lower-level ghosts who were individuals of Muzanko were simply incomparable. A piece of [Moonstone] jewelry of the right size almost completely ignored the ability of this ghost.

The ultraviolet rays shone on the still writhing and growing mass of flesh, and like snow in the sun, the remaining pieces of Nightmare began to dissipate.

The nightmare had lost its mouth and couldn't even make a scream. It could only watch its body disappear bit by bit under the ultraviolet light.

The last trace of flesh and blood dissipated under the ultraviolet light, which also meant the demise of the only lower string.

"Mission accomplished~" Ruby said excitedly as she watched the enemy disappear. "No one died~"

Looking at her excited sister, Yang, as the elder sister, shook her head helplessly. You know, before, in order to achieve the goal of "not letting anyone die", Ruby, as the captain, spent a lot of time planning the battle plan.

"Okay, we need to evacuate now." Yang tapped Ruby's head, signaling her to be quiet. "Black, what's going on with the detector?"

"Everything is normal. It seems that the upper-rank demon that we need to be wary of has not arrived yet..."

Black suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his words because on the device in his hand that displayed the location and status of the detector, a large area of ​​sensors showed as offline.

Her abnormality was immediately noticed by the others, and Weiss immediately built an ice wall to surround the four of them.

boom--!

A figure slammed into the ice wall that appeared, and ice debris immediately flew everywhere - it was Akaza!

"Oh? This is vampire magic? No..."

The thick ice wall was shattered by a single blow, and Yang rushed out of it immediately, punching the attacker.

Bang--!

It was a direct hit and the attacker was also knocked flying, but he adjusted his body slightly in the air and stood firmly on the ground.

"woman?"

boom! boom! boom!

Three sniper bullets hit Akaza who had just stabilized himself. The bullets with extremely strong kinetic energy directly penetrated the target's body, and flames ignited on the opponent's body.

boom--!

But then, Akaza stepped on the ground, and the burst of aura instantly blew away the flames on his body, and at the same time his damaged body recovered as before.

"Is this... some kind of special weapon?"

As a battle fanatic, Akaza looked at the four Rubys who were facing a formidable enemy with great interest, and prepared to carry out his usual "sales promotion".

Akaza believes that human lifespan is too short, so many people cannot become strong. Strong people will also become weak over time and no longer be powerful, which is a pity - as long as you become a ghost, then all of this will no longer be a problem, you will have hundreds or thousands of times to train continuously until you become the strongest.

Obviously he didn't know that even though Kokushibo, as an Upper Moon One, had become a demon, he was still being hammered by the white-haired Yoshiichi Tsugikoku. If the other party hadn't died of old age first, Kokushibo would probably have died on the spot.

Just as he was about to say something, Akaza suddenly saw a blue-white knight appear behind Ruby, with the greatsword in his hand slashing towards him vertically.

"!"

Seeing this, Akaza swallowed his words, used blood demon arts to strengthen his body, crossed his arms, and blocked the huge sword.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ruby and the other four immediately began to evacuate. Their current combat power was still a bit stretched to face the top three upper-rank demons.

Suddenly, a dark sword energy attacked, splitting the knight who was still wrestling with Akaza into two. At the same time, a gully appeared between Ruby and others.

"These four people are required by Lord Muzan, and no one can lose them." Kokushibo, who has six eyes, slowly walked out from behind Akaza and said. "There seem to be four people related to them behind the train that has already left. Akaza, go and capture them..."

"After I chop off their hands and feet, I will join you."

The appearance of the second Upper Rank, or Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, completely disrupted the plans of Ruby and others. They made the same mistake that Zhang Yi made before, and believed too much in the so-called plot.

It has been proven before in the XCOM world that the actual direction of some worlds may not develop according to the fixed plot we know. Before Zhang Yi and others arrived, the XCOM world was developing in the direction of badend. Even with the help of the commander, humans could only struggle to survive under the siege of aliens.

[When you see the future, the future has already changed]

The appearance of Zhang Yi has disrupted the original plot development of the "Demon Slayer" world in some aspects. Douma and his followers were all turned to ashes, Muzan felt threatened and cleaned up the Lower Moons in advance, and Akaza was even slapped by Zhang Yi.

This series of changes led to today's situation. The two Upper Moons were screamed here to witness the death of the enemy, or to clean up the mess for that useless guy.

"Hey! They are me first..."

"I'll say it again, they are the ones that Master Muzan has named and need, and there can be no problems." Kokushibo interrupted Akaza and said, "Put aside your thoughts of playing with humans, this is an order."

As an upper-rank demon, second only to the Demon King Muzan, and the older brother of Tsugakuni Yoriichi, Kokushibo's strength is unquestionable. He also attaches great importance to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and cannot tolerate subordinates disobeying their superiors.

Even if he was reluctant, Akaza had no choice but to obey Kokushibo's orders, temporarily giving up the idea of ​​persuading Ruby and the others and fighting with them, and rushed towards Tanjiro and the others.

Ruby and the others could only watch Akaza disappear from their sight, because there was a more troublesome existence before them.

Ruby and the others' strength has indeed increased during this period, but if they want to defeat the Upper Rank One, Kokushibo, who, even in the original work, was not destroyed by others but died because of his weak mind, the difficulty is extremely great.

"I will cut off your arms and legs very quickly, so don't worry about too much pain." Kokushibo slowly drew his sword, as if looking at lambs to be slaughtered, and said to Ruby and others. "As for your lives, I will keep them for now before Lord Muzan passes away."

In response, Ruby threw her UV lamp at Kokushibo, who cut it in two with a single blow, but then a strong burst of ultraviolet light came out.

The unexpected Kokushibo was completely exposed to the burst of ultraviolet rays. For a ghost, this was undoubtedly fatal. Large chunks of flesh and skin turned to ashes under the ultraviolet rays, and his movements were slowed down for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the huge blue and white knight appeared again. Although it was only half, it still swung the huge sword in its hand and slashed at Kokushibo.

bite--!

Several flashes of sword light appeared and the huge sword blade collapsed in an instant, but a black glyph appeared under Kokushibo's feet, and he suddenly felt his body become sluggish.

"Weiss!"

A white glyph appeared behind Ruby, and she also used her outward force at the same time. A red whirlwind accompanied by rose petals rushed towards Kokushibo, and his arm holding the knife was instantly cut off.

Ruby also appeared behind him at this time, spinning the [Crescent Rose] in her hand and slashing towards Kokushibo's neck. On the other side, Yang was also activating his outward force, performing a round of explosion and accelerating towards Kokushibo through Weiss's white glyph.

However, the next moment, Kokushibo's severed arm was reconnected, and the knife in his hand was grasped again and swung out!

bite--!

The light curtain of the shield belt flashed by, and Kokushibo's slash was blocked by the light curtain.

"!"

It was another unexpected thing, Ruby's sickle cut his neck, and Yang's full-strength punch hit him hard in the face.

BOOM--!

It hit directly and exploded at close range, but then Yang discovered that the neck that was originally cut off by Ruby has now been reconnected to the body, and Kokushibo also looked at them.

"Ruby! Get out of the way!"

Breath of the Moon - Form 5 - Moon Spirit Disaster Vortex

Snap--!

The shield belt was overloaded, and at the same time, most of the defensive energy of the two was instantly consumed - this was because Yang reminded them in time and dodged some of the attacks!

"Is there another layer... of shield?" Looking at the two who were unharmed and the fully recovered Kokushibo, he said calmly. "But, your breathing is disordered..."

"That is to say, the 'shield' that saved you twice in a row is not without limit..."

"Twice, or once, I can break your shields and cut off your hands and feet."

"The outcome has never changed, it just takes more effort and more time."

"You can't escape this inevitable ending!"

406. Military Training in Progress (VI)

The technique unfolds!

Destruction Killing Air Style!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—boom, boom, boom!

As Akaza continued to swing his fists, heavy blows hit Pyrrha's round shield one after another, causing her to retreat continuously.

Seeing this, Qiang stood behind Pyrrha and placed his hands on her back to provide her with energy support and stabilize her defense.
