Figgsin's sharp gaze swept over her squad members, her commands clearly relayed through her helmet's comm-unit into everyone's ears: "Sister Sura! Suppress those heretics! Purify them with holy flame! Draw their fire!"
"Understood, Captain!" Sura's voice instantly responded through her Power Armor's built-in comm-unit. She immediately led two Sisters towards the flank, their hands firmly holding heavy flamers, fuel tanks humming on their backs!
At the same time, two other Battle Sisterss quickly occupied advantageous firing positions, their Bolters erupting with deafening roars!
A dense, scorching hail of bullets, like a storm of metal, slammed violently into the corner where the Psyker was hiding!
The moment the Bolter fire suppressed the target, Sura and the two flamer-wielding Sisters simultaneously pulled their triggers!
Three surging torrents of promethium flames, like the Emperor's wrath, erupted from the muzzles of the three flamers, hissing as they scorched the air!
The deadly tongues of fire precisely licked at the cover, instantly turning the area where the Psyker was hiding into a fiery inferno!
Low, resonant hymns began to emanate from their Power Armor's external loudspeakers, intertwining with the continuous, furious roar of the flamers, purifying all evil!
This destructive storm of holy flame relentlessly ensnared the target!
Distorted psychic energy violently fluctuated and evaporated under the scorching heat!
The Psyker let out a painful shriek, his primary energy forced to resist the storm of flames that threatened to utterly incinerate him on a physical level!
Dense Bolter fire, scorching psychic impact, and raging flames collided violently, the air buzzing with the vibrations, high temperatures distorting vision, and a smell of charring permeating the area.
Sura's squad, relying on the mobility of their Power Armor and battlefield instincts, rapidly dodged and blocked the residual psychic impacts and shrapnel from Bolter explosions in the confined space, each dodge a perilous near-miss.
The three flamer-wielders steadily advanced, maintaining continuous fire suppression.
Just as Sura's squad's destructive firepower, composed of Bolters and promethium flames, reached its peak, the hymns sang their loudest, and the Psyker struggled with all his might, scorched by the holy flames—
Several Mutants growled as they rushed towards the pipe opening Old Cripple had pointed to.
They used their thick arms, their makeshift tools, and even their entire bodies to recklessly ram, tear, and drag away the debris blocking the entrance!
Rusty metal plates and discarded parts were quickly cleared away by their astonishing brute strength!
The moment Figgsin saw the passage open, the low hum of her Power Armor's joints instantly became more rapid!
She abruptly ducked, her heavy ceramite body erupting with astonishing speed, precisely diving into the narrow, deep maintenance pipe that had just been cleared!
Her armor scraped against the rusty pipe walls, creating ear-splitting metallic friction and scattering sparks that flew wildly within the pipe.
"No—Eternal God!" The red-robed leader watched helplessly as Figgsin disappeared into the pipe opening, a desperate shriek half-choked from his throat.
The fear of death drove him completely mad; he recklessly lunged at the nearest promethium canister, intending to burst it with his body!
But it was too late!
Figgsin, having bypassed them through the pipe, suddenly burst out from a broken pipe opening behind the Psyker's flank!
The hastily condensed, energy-disordered Psyker Shield shattered upon impact with her high-speed charge!
Several whistling pieces of rusty iron "clanged" against her Power Armor's thick shoulder plates, sending sparks flying before bouncing off.
The powerful burst of speed provided by her Power Armor allowed her to close the distance instantly! In the fleeting moment before the momentum of her charge dissipated, Figgsin abruptly raised both arms!
The "Rose" Bolter gripped in her left hand and the "fiona" Bolter gripped in her right, carrying a suffocating aura of destruction, locked onto two separate targets at extremely close range!
The cold muzzle of "Rose" was aimed at the Psyker's head, which was distorted and had burst blood vessels from excessive spellcasting!
The heavy muzzle of "fiona" was steadily pointed at the chest of the red-robed cult leader!
"Bang—!!!"
"Bang—!!!"
Two dull, chest-rattling, almost overlapping roars tore through the air!
The Psyker's head exploded violently under the muzzle of the "Rose" Bolter, spraying blood mist, bone fragments, and grayish-white fluid!
Simultaneously, the Bolter round fired by "fiona" powerfully pierced the cult leader's chest with the force of a thunderbolt!
The immensely powerful ammunition violently exploded within his body, instantly tearing through flesh and internal organs, blasting a horrifying large hole in his chest!
The red-robed leader's body sharply arched backward, the madness in his eyes instantly replaced by incredulous shock and deathly stillness, before he collapsed to the ground like a deflated sack of garbage.
The gunpowder smoke from Figgsin's dual-gun volley had not yet dissipated, and she didn't even look at the destruction she had wrought.
Almost simultaneously, the promethium canister next to the cult leader, which had already been pierced by stray bullets from Sura's squad, completely lost its internal pressure due to the high temperature, and with a "boom," a world-shattering, violent explosion occurred!
A ball of orange-red fire, far more violent and dazzling than the flamers before, suddenly expanded!
A shockwave hot enough to warp metal, like an invisible giant fist, slammed violently in all directions!
The closest cultist remains were instantly vaporized and shredded! The rusty pipes were torn and twisted by the shockwave, emitting sharp, ear-splitting metallic groans!
Lethal metal shrapnel, like the scythe of death, swept through the entire area, enveloped in scorching thick smoke and heat waves hot enough to burn lungs!
The immense roar from the explosion echoed repeatedly within the confined space, deafening!
"Cover the Mutants! Find cover!" Figgsin's urgent voice, piercing through her helmet's comm-unit, was exceptionally clear amidst the roar of the explosion, yet it could not completely drown out that destructive thunder!
Just as this destructive explosion shockwave raged—
Several Mutants, obeying Old Cripple's hoarse commands, were carefully but incredibly efficiently lifting the Marshal Squad's severely wounded members with their large, muscular arms, moving them to a corner relatively far from the explosion's center!
Their thick bodies became a fragile shield for the wounded.
However, the deadly metal storm and scorching hot air stirred up by the explosion were mercilessly sweeping towards them and the area where the wounded were!
Sura and the closest Battle Sisters reacted extremely quickly!
They saw a thick, rusty metal plate leaning against the ground nearby almost at the same moment Figgsin's command was given!
They roared, unleashing Power Armor-enhanced strength, and together violently lifted and stood this heavy metal plate upright!
"Bang!"
The metal plate was slammed heavily by them between the Mutants and the direction of the incoming explosion, forming a crude but solid physical barrier!
"Boom—!"
Raging flames and scorching hot air slammed violently into the metal plate!
A deafening roar and the groan of metal straining under the pressure erupted simultaneously!
