Chapter 030: Myth - Horlock's Armguard
"It's time to settle the score, hehe."
After a while, Deyang pushed himself up.
Despite being covered in injuries, he didn't care at all, his eyes fixed on the hypercube floating in mid-air.
After tens of millions of years of erosion, the seal had long since loosened. Just now, after being tormented by the Black Oil Guy and Elijah, the seal finally collapsed.
The ancient hypercube structure groaned under its strain, its silver light darting about as it silently crumbled like weathered sand.
"Ha ha…!"
A sharp, manic, and malicious mental scream pierced Dejan's mind.
Imprisoned for tens of millions of years, driven by an intense hatred for the undead in space and an extreme thirst for living souls, they broke free from their cages and returned to the real universe.
A hooded Grim Reaper wielding a terrifying giant scythe hovered in the air, its living metal shell constantly crumbling, emanating a pressure like a black hole, threatening to devour everything.
I am free!
Damn skinners!
You despicable thief!
I will reignite the spark, for revenge, for revenge!
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such a vibrant soul, sweeter than the fear of the dead, a wondrous gift." Azagorod, the Nightbringer, noticed Dejan and became visibly excited, raising the scythe that symbolized death in his hand.
Deyang remained silent, only raising his left hand repeatedly.
Dream on! Who knows who will be the one to receive this gift?
【Ding! 】
[High-level energy source detected]
[Dimensional Cage Launched]
The emerald green patterns around the groove at the front of the arm guard shone brightly, forming a constantly rotating green prism structure.
The dimensional cage unfolds.
Energy confinement field, full power.
"Buzz—"
A buzzing sound, causing the space to tremble slightly, rang out.
Under Dejan's curious gaze, the Nightbringers, who had just been so aggressive, seemed to have encountered their natural enemy and tried to escape.
"No!"
"What is this... No!"
But the energy restraint field was faster, instantly seizing the Nightbringer and pulling him into the groove at the front of the arm guard amidst his desperate screams.

Mythical Horrock's Armguards
【Skill 1 - Arcane Shot: Fires an energy projectile dealing physical damage. Cooldown: 4.5 seconds】
【Skill 2 - Arcane Leap: Teleportation, fires an energy ray at the designated target after teleporting, 10-second cooldown】
[Skill 3: To be unlocked]
[Skill 4: To be unlocked]
The brass arm guards, which were originally covered in marks, have now been completely transformed.
The material has been transformed into a metallic finish that blends matte dark gold with a deep green hue.
Heavy and mysterious.
Deyang liked it more and more as he looked at it, becoming completely absorbed in it.
The interior is a storage space the size of a basketball court.
Built-in static force field effect.
It can store non-living matter and organisms in a quiescent state.
"A divine artifact, a divine artifact!"
Deyang was as excited as a child. In an instant, he appeared on the steps ten meters away.
"call out-"
A ray, about the thickness of a fist and spiraling with pale gold and dark green hues, shot out in an instant.
"Bang!"
A hole the size of a bowl appeared in the wall.
Dejan then tried the secret shooting technique.
The light blue energy blast was significantly less powerful than the psionic ray.
Arcane Shot is roughly equivalent to a high-explosive bomb, while Arcane Warp Ray is equivalent to a heavy-explosive bomb.
"Amazing!" Dejan exclaimed excitedly, stroking Horlock's arm guard with obvious delight. "With this artifact, my strength will at least double!"
Mystic Shot compensates for the shortcomings of ranged attacks.
Arcane Shift is an even more divine skill.
Whether it's chasing, escaping, or adjusting your position, it's incredibly useful.
When paired with the active tank engine, it can terrify the enemy if used well.
Can you imagine a giant who can teleport?
Dejan could sense that this was not the limit of the Horlock arm guards.
As one becomes more familiar with the gauntlets and their own strength increases, the jump distance and skill effects should be further enhanced.
The fact that the two skill slots are still locked is irrefutable proof.
Not to mention the arm guards have built-in storage space.
The storage space is also a static space, which can hold living things.
What you put in, you take out.
Essential for home, travel, and even murder and robbery!
Amazing! Amazing!
[Side Quest - The Celestial Collector: Containing the Fragment of Azagorod, the Nightbringer, Completed]
[Reward: 2000 Hextech Crystals]
Hextech Protocol Upgrade
[New Feature Unlocked: Hextech Store]
Dejan couldn't wait to open the store.
The holographic store interface unfolds.
The goods are plentiful and categorized.
Imperial standard equipment ranges from laser guns, bomb guns, and melt guns to Sentinel mechs, poison blade tanks, and even various models of Terminators and Titan mechs.
Upon seeing the Emperor-class Titan priced at 100 million Hextech Crystals, Dejan's breathing suddenly became heavier.
"Great, from now on, when we're out taking on big projects, we won't have to put up with those grudges from the 'mechanical oil guy'."
Deyang closed the page, his heart still burning with passion.
Although Gondor's journey was fraught with peril, the gains were well worth it!
Calm down; reality must be faced.
After storing the bodies of the four fallen Deathwatchers into the arm guard space, when it was Inquisitor Alonso's turn, Dejan discovered that the guy still had a faint breath.
"To save them, or not to save them?"
Dejan was torn. Saving the judge wasn't the problem; his real fear was that the judge might turn on him and deny everything.
I have too many secrets.
If it were leaked and the judge found out, it would be very troublesome.
But considering the goodwill this guy had shown before, Dejan still put the Inquisitor into his arm guard space.
We left the stillness chamber and returned to the ritual hall.
The battle outside was over, leaving only a scene of devastation.
The Lamenters, the Black Legion, Humanity…
Dejan walked nervously among the corpses, praying he wouldn't see Pete's body.
As I walked, Malakin Forros came into view.
The towering warrior, leaning on his holy sword, stood amidst the corpses in a tragic and heroic posture, weeping bitterly.
The battle flag of tears fluttered in the wind beside them.
Malakin Forros' helmet visor shattered, revealing his face with closed eyes but still bearing unyielding lines.
His sacrifice meant the annihilation of the mourners.
Deyan touched the gene seed box, feeling the weight of his mission.
They protected the people with their lives and sacrificed their lives for the empire.
Those who weep should be allowed to continue.
Dejan solemnly performed the Eagle Salute to Malakin Forros, then stored the corpse, along with any other corpses of the Weeping Ones and their equipment, into his arm guard space.
Static force fields can freeze time.
It can preserve the genetic seeds in their bodies.
They'll need it when rebuilding the Lamenters' Chapter in the future.
After doing all this, Deyang went outside to look for something.
"Pete...Claire, I hope you're still alive."
……
Passing through the forging workshop, familiar roars, the sound of Eldar blades cutting through the air, and the trembling of battle nuns chanting hymns came from ahead.
Inside the purification passage, Pete wielded a metal beam that had been broken off from somewhere, like a human windmill, smashing the two vampires to the ground, but also inflicting several new wounds on himself.
Behind him, the lame Grove knelt on the ground and returned fire with a slingshot.
Claire and Sister Martha stood back to back, struggling against the demon's onslaught.
It is clear that the four of them have reached a dead end.
Deyang's eyes narrowed, and he instantly teleported behind the demon.
Several flashes of cold light slicing the demon into minced meat.
Under the surprised and delighted gazes of the crowd, Deyang, having finished his work, stood with his sword in hand, exuding an aura of "turning his back on the common people and ruling alone through the ages."
