“Bold Kharn… are you cer…”
Gorechild revved for the first time since its rebirth, eating air with the throating snarl of an apex predator. That sound was the only reply Kharn would give and Erebus raised his Crozius in reply.
“Come then!”
Three blows:
The First – Kharn bashed the blow aside with his axe.
The Second – Kharn cannoned a headbutt into Erebus’s nose, breaking cartilage with a wet crunch.
The Third – Gorechild tasted first blood, ripping across the Chaplain’s chest, carving a canyon into the layers of dense sub-dermal armor of the warrior’s Black Carapace.
All of this took place in the time it took Erebus to blink. No one could move as fast as Kharn moved, no one human and nothing mortal. The chaplain threw himself backwards, Crozius up high to guard. Kharn stepped forward, gunning Gorechild’s trigger. The crowd was silent now, this was a Kharn they had never seen before, not even on the field of battle.
Another three blows delivered at the same blinding speed.
Erebus’s maul — clang — skidded across the deck. He took a fist to the throat and a boot to the stomach with enough force to send him sprawling back across the blood-stained iron grill work. Erebus looked up at Kharn from the ground and saw his death in the World Eater’s eyes. He had never seen this before, not in any of the paths of possibility. This couldn’t be happening. It couldn’t end like this. He was Destiny’s Hand!
