Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 258 Alien

Messiah.

Howard felt like he was about to become desensitized after being called like this over and over again.

He did not immediately pay attention to those things that called him "Messiah", but first looked at the nuns and the elves, with an expression that clearly said: See, I didn't lie to you.

But the nuns and the elves are not as leisurely as Howard. The identities and purposes of the newcomers are unknown, and their numbers are likely to far exceed theirs. In this universe, when encountering any unfamiliar creature, one should first assume that the other party is an enemy.

As the nuns and the elves were on guard, the other party gradually emerged from the shadows.

The first creature to emerge from the shadows was a humanoid. But as it moved closer, Howard could see that its body wasn't made of flesh but rather a smooth, gleaming stone like obsidian. Every facet of its body reflected light. It lacked facial features, and its surface was covered in blue veins. Where the veins intersected, transparent crystals grew. The blue fluorescence flowing through the crystals seemed to breathe and flicker as if it were alive.

It walked very slowly, taking only a small step forward cautiously at a time, and stopped and waited for a while after every few steps, as if observing the reactions of Howard and his group.

Howard realized that it was not just him, the other party was also nervous.

"Damn it! Why is it a Karenya alien!" But after seeing the other party's appearance clearly, the nun suddenly exploded. She drew her weapon and pulled the safety without saying a word. "I didn't expect there are still some left here?!"

"Wait, wait! You mean the Karenya Alien?" Howard quickly grabbed her hand holding the weapon and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"

"I don't know them, but I heard from some veterans! When humans first arrived in Karenya, they encountered a kind of alien creature that could use psychic powers near the Eye of Karenya, causing heavy losses to humanity. Those alien creatures looked like moving stones covered in spikes!" The nun said this with an annoyed "tsk!" "I should have realized earlier that the stone you picked up from the orcs was the organ of one of these alien creatures!"

After hearing this, Howard wanted to continue to persuade: "But they don't mean to attack us now! Let's see what they are going to do!"

"You want me to tolerate the aliens?! You're going too far!" The nun waved her hand and pushed Howard away. "Don't you see? So many soldiers have died at their hands!"

Damn it, don’t start a fight just because you disagree with me!

Without giving Howard time to reason, the nun fired a bomb at the alien in front of her. The micro-rocket, trailing flames, struck the alien's stone skin and exploded, the impact causing the alien to stagger backward.

The nun fired continuously. With the auxiliary aiming system of the armor, the accuracy of this weapon with astonishing recoil was equally astonishing. If someone could monitor the trajectory, they would find that the explosive shells fired by the nun had almost no dispersion, and were all located in the same straight line.

Facing the fierce attack of the nun's artillery, the alien simply raised its forelimbs to block. The sound of the bombs hitting its body was like striking a jade chime. Every time a bomb exploded, the blue lines on the alien's body flashed.

The alien's defense was amazing, but it was no match for steel and explosives. Soon its forelimbs used for defense were covered with cracks. When the last bullet from the nun's magazine exploded, accompanied by a shattering sound that seemed to pierce the eardrums, half of the alien's shoulder was blown into pieces.

But the severely damaged alien did not die. It was knocked back two steps by the explosion and then fell to its knees on the ground. A blue glowing sticky liquid flowed out from the damaged parts of its body.

The nun deftly removed the smoking, empty magazine and inserted a new one filled with anti-psychic bullets.

But before the nun was ready to launch a new round of firepower, the alien that was kneeling on the ground suddenly stretched out its unbroken forelimbs towards the nun. Howard didn't feel anything, but the nun fell backwards as if hit by a heavy object, but stopped before falling to the ground.

Time seemed to have stopped for the nun. Her eyes widened in shock, the bolter on the verge of falling from her hand. Her hair swept forward, obscuring half her face, but nothing moved. Like the famous dying lion statue, her life was frozen in the moment before her death.

At the same time, more and more deep flames lit up in the darkness, but the color of these flames was no longer the cool blue, but the angry red.

More Karenya aliens walked out of the darkness. These aliens were not all humanoid. They were of different sizes, some as small as a puppy, and some as big as a tank.

At the same time, the body structures of these Karenya aliens are not as smooth and hard as the first one. Many of them are made of soft porous rocks or even sand. Some of them fall off as they walk, and some are covered with moss or glowing vines.

But these stone-made lives all have one characteristic, that is, they have more or less luminous lines on their bodies and grow transparent crystals.

These aliens slowly walked forward and surrounded the alien that was injured by the nun. Howard heard their whispers again.

"aggressor……"

"murderer……"

"enemy……"

"Thief……"

When these aliens whisper, the luminous patterns on their bodies will also flicker slightly. It seems that they make sounds not by the vibration of their vocal cords, but by psychic energy.

The sounds they make are also hard to figure out their source. Although they are at a certain distance away, just listening to them makes them seem as if they are very close.

They slowly approached while accusing Howard and his group of crimes. The air became colder and colder, and a thin layer of frost began to form on the ground.

Faced with this threat, even the calm Mei looked as if she was facing a great enemy. She took out two scimitars from somewhere and held them in her hands, ready to meet the enemy.

But at this moment, the alien that was injured first flashed violently several times, and at the same time made a sound that Howard could not understand. But after this sound, the surrounding Karenya aliens slowly retreated.

The lines on the body of the alien at the beginning are still blue.

If the color of these lines is an indicator of their status, then this alien that is still glowing blue should be the only character that is not hostile at the moment.

And judging from the fact that it can command other aliens, if these aliens also have hierarchies, the status of this alien in the tribe is probably not too low.

So Howard took off his helmet and put it at his feet, then plucked up his courage and walked towards the injured alien.

"Mr. Howard!" Mei called Howard's name softly but anxiously, trying to call him back.

Howard just turned around and gave her a look, telling her not to worry, then continued walking forward.

Along the way, the hostile aliens all gave way to Howard. Even if some were particularly stubborn and unwilling to give way immediately, they would quietly move aside after confronting Howard for a while.

The aliens surrounded Howard and looked at him at the same time. They did not have "eyes" in the traditional sense, but Howard felt that the gazes from all directions squeezed his body, making him feel a little depressed, and his breathing changed from automatic to manual.

Finally, under the gaze of many aliens, Howard walked up to the injured alien. Even when kneeling, the alien was still taller than Howard. Howard stood in front of it and thought for a while before finally asking his first question: "What do you want?"

After a long silence, the alien's patterns flickered slightly, and Howard heard it utter a single word:

"Blood."
