Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 257 Ghost Shadow

"Grass!"

Howard cursed after being pushed down by the nun. Although he knew that the nun would not harm him in such a low-level way, the sudden attack still made his heart skip a beat.

It is difficult to say whether the nun's push was motivated by any personal grudge.

After pushing Howard down, the nun also jumped down. She curled up her body in the air to reduce wind resistance and quickly caught up with Howard. Then she grabbed this human and regained her balance in the air.

Then the nun pulled out her chainsaw sword and stabbed it into the wall. The sword body emitted dazzling sparks due to the friction, and the sound of cutting came into Howard's ears, as if someone was beating a drum on his eardrum, and at the same time, many small stones kept falling on his face.

After descending for a distance, the nun stepped against the wall and pulled out her chainsaw sword. The reaction force caused her to flip in the air. Finally, with a "bang", she landed on the ground with Howard's heroic momentum.

Then May also landed lightly. With the help of the shining light of the nun's chainsaw sword as if it had just been forged, Howard saw that she did not use the jet pack or psychic power, but the grappling gun.

Did this Eldar have a fourth-dimensional pocket? Howard remembered she was wearing a close-fitting combat uniform. Where did she get this thing from?

Unfortunately, the nun's chainsaw sword soon cooled down completely, and Howard was unable to see clearly how May put away the gun. The Empire's materials are still awesome.

Then, while Howard was still groping in the dark, the nun had picked up the helmet from somewhere and put it on Howard's head.

Howard regained the ability to see in the dark. Now they were in a cave that was much larger and emptier than all the holes they had just passed combined. Howard couldn't even see the end. As far as he could see, there were several huge stone pillars running across it. These stone pillars supported the dome in a spiral shape, preventing this area from collapsing due to gravity.

There was no doubt that the murals outside and the supporting beams were all created by intelligent life. At this moment, the number of Astra Militarum soldiers killed on the helmet's display screen had exceeded four hundred.

This area of unknown size is also dotted with many weak Astra Militarum signals. Since the life status of the signal owners cannot be observed, these signals are classified into a separate category, with a total of 141 people.

At this point, Howard was basically certain that the battalion of Astra Militarum troops that the nun mentioned was probably all left here.

Under the protection of the nuns and the Eldar, Howard walked towards the stone pillar closest to him. It was also covered with carvings in a strange artistic style. Howard saw the emblem shaped like the Eye of Horus again. Unlike the previous carvings, this carving had a crystal embedded in the pupil.

Howard's fingers stroked the crystal, but he didn't realize that there was still blood on his fingertips. It was the blood that flowed from the scratch on his ear when he took off his helmet after releasing the profile state.

When the remaining blood on his fingertips touched the crystal, the crystal suddenly emitted a deep blue light, and then the light spread along the carved lines like flowing water, lighting up one stone pillar after another.

"What have you done again?!" the nun asked, staring at the man who had caused trouble again with wide eyes.

"I did it on purpose." This time Howard didn't back down: "We're going to find them anyway, why not let them come to me."

Although triggering these stone pillars was not what Howard expected, he was not lying. If he guessed correctly, this was the destination of their trip. So instead of wandering around like headless flies like before, they might as well think of a way to actively attract the attention of those lurking in the dark.

The nun was speechless by Howard. After glaring at him again, the nun reluctantly and May took turns to protect Howard in the center, while taking a defensive posture.

However, the first one to detect the abnormality was not the nun or the elves, but the nun's helmet on Howard's head.

This helmet can detect surrounding sounds. Previously, the sound line was mostly straight, occasionally fluctuating due to movement or breathing. Now, the sound line began to vibrate rapidly at a very small frequency, like the surface of a pond during rain, which starts with slight ripples and quickly begins to surge and boil.

Then Howard shuddered because the temperature was dropping rapidly, from double digits to single digits, and then to negative numbers.

Psychic!

Both humans and elves understood the reason for this abnormal phenomenon at the first time.

As the crest of the sound became steeper and steeper, Howard began to hear subtle rustling sounds. These rustling sounds came from all directions, as if countless spiders had surrounded them, and the encirclement was shrinking rapidly.

But just as the sources of these sounds were about to enter the field of vision of Mei, who had the best vision, they suddenly stopped moving and hid at the edge of the line of sight, keeping a safe distance from Howard and his group.

The voice fell silent for a moment, but Howard didn't think the other party had just walked away.

The two sides were deadlocked for a while, and Howard suddenly realized that he was not only speculating about the other party, but the other party was also examining him and hesitating.

He began to recall that before he was teleported here, he had grabbed the crystal-covered stone, and his hand had been pierced by the sharp protrusions, causing blood to flow.

Just now, when he touched the gem embedded in his pupil, his hands were stained with blood from the previous wound.

Thinking of this, it is clear what to do next.

Howard pushed aside the nuns and elves who were blocking his way and walked in front of them. Then, as they watched, he put his index finger into his mouth and bit it a little.

Then he stretched the broken finger forward, while squeezing the last joint of the index finger with his thumb and slowly pushing it forward.

Red blood oozed out from the thread-like wound and slowly gathered into a bright red blood bead hanging under Howard's finger.

Howard exerted a little force and squeezed out some more blood. Gravity finally overcame the surface tension of the blood, and red blood beads fell from his fingertips.

Countless creatures in the darkness were staring at this drop of blood. Time seemed to be stretched out. When the blood dripped, the end was still stuck to Howard's finger, so it was pulled into a spindle shape. Then the end of the spindle broke, and the blood swayed and rolled as it fell, becoming a round liquid bead.

Finally, it hit the ground. Under the action of fluid mechanics, the center of the blood sank downward and squeezed the edge. The force generated caused the blood on the edge to splash outward, but in the low temperature environment, the splashed part of the blood solidified before it hit the ground.

Finally, the shape of this drop of blood was frozen at the moment it just hit the ground, like a small splash of water.

As the drop of blood fell, the disturbing rustling sound reappeared. A faint blue will-o'-the-wisp ignited in the distant darkness, and Howard heard the call again:

"Messiah."
