In The World Of Sword And Magic As Space Marine - Chapter 126: VS Alpharius

This will be three separate scenes while it is happening at the same time.

“Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.”

Trazyn the Infinite vs First Alpha Legionnaire.

The moment Trazyn appeared from William’s inventory he was ready to deliver some payback. Immediately after his appearance to the Alpha Legion, Trazyn sliced the heavy bolter that the first Alpha Legionnaire was carrying using his Hyperphase Sword. After disarming the enemy’s weapon without hesitation, Trazyn increases his movement by overclocking his body to take advantage of the surprise attack.

[One, he is disarmed and requires a few seconds to unequip his damaged heavy bolter. Two, he will pull out a secondary weapon which most likely will be melee to counter my Hyperphase sword. Three, instead of termination, catch him for my exhibit, ‘Battle of the Alaxxes Nebula.’ Oh, the poetic justice.] All it took was microseconds for Trazyn to process his thoughts. The moment his objection was identified and the situation recognized, the Necron Overlord pull out his Tesseract Labyrinth from his pouch with his free hand.

Like lightning speed, Necron Overlord threw his Tesseract to capture the defenseless Alpha Legionnaire that is until something appear in front of him out of nowhere, becoming a scapegoat for the traitor.

[Interesting. A whole crate of heavy bolter ammunition. You have the same ability as Chapter Master of the Blacksouls. Very interesting.] Quickly realizing what just happened, Trazyn pull back from the close-range melee fight to prevent himself from being captured again.

“You will have a hard time capturing me. I have limitless items while you don’t with your Tesseracts.” The first Alpha Legionnaire spoke and pull out a power sword from his inventory. Unlike his previous weapon, this power sword wasn’t decorated with Alpha Legion color or design. Instead, the power sword previously belonged to Champion of the Salamanders as the blade itself is crimson red, and the sword guard and the hilt was scaly with a color of deep green.

[That’s a nice sword you got there.] Even though he was in a life-and-death situation, Trazyn couldn’t stop himself from scanning and praising the sword due to his nature. After a quick scan from his optics, Trazyn was able to identify the previous owner and time period.

[Previous owner, Darnassan Draceon the Molten Wall. Champion of the Salamander, Last known seen 901M41. Looks like he failed to find one of his gene father’s artifacts after all.]

“How do you know of this?” The first Alpha Legionnaire asked as he is surprised that someone was able to identify the weapon of the Chapter’s Champion.

[Oh, that’s easy. He once killed me while I attempt to steal Spear of Vulkan. A very big guy for a Salamander and knows his stuff when it comes to blacksmithing.] Trazyn’s voice, even though it is a machine shows a great tone of respect to one of a mortal who managed to ‘kill’ him in his long life.

“Of course, you know of him. You pretty much know everything when it comes to our universe.” The first Alpha Legionnaire said and activate his power sword. When activated, the red blade was engulfed by the blue but a second later, the color of the energy and blade combined and changed, turning purple.

[Very interesting weapon.] With new excitement running through his mechanical body (in this case his body greatly heating up) Trazyn decided to display the first Alpha Legionnaire in the center of the 20th Legion’s gallery instead of placing it in some background of a named battle. Trazyn could vision the display as the first Alpha Legionnaire will be his finest and most eye-catching while holding that sword in his hand.

[Capturing you will be worth all the problems your brothers caused me so far.] Before his last word could be heard, Trazyn swiftly move to the side and pull out another Tesseract Labyrinth containing something else already. What came out made the Tesseract Labyrinth made even the Alpha Legion panic as a large spider-like monster size of Leman Russ tank appeared and looks very hungry.

[Allow me to introduce you to a Megaarachind. I found his little guy from Planet named Murder. Previously discovered by Blood Angels during Great Crusade and I took advantage of collecting a significant number of them for my collection. This one is rather young but it should be more than enough to keep you busy from getting close to me.] Trazyn the Infinite said to the first traitor as he step back. The fight between the traitor Space Marine and Necron Overlord turned into a monster fight as Megarachnid slowly approach the traitor with four sharp claws.

“A shit.” This is all the first Alpha Legionnaire managed to say before he deflects several claws from the Megarachnid. Even with his power sword activated, the first couldn’t slice properly as he was busy blocking and dodging the monster’s attack. Just as Megarachnid managed to overpower the traitor, the first Alpha Legionnaire activate his stolen Necron technology by turning himself invisible.

Unable to see the target, the giant spider stopped and search for the prey but it was too late as the traitor appeared underneath the monster and slice the monster’s belly from front to back. Screeching in pain, Megarachnid when into panic and swing its claws wildly but it was pointless as the traitor already managed to dodge the wild attack and decapitate the claws one at a time.

In a matter of half a minute, Megarachnid was clawless and unable to move as it was missing more than half of its limbs. With the primary threat taken down and unable to fight back, Alpha Legionnaire turns invisible once again and threw an explosive grenade before leaving the monster to its doom. The explosion took out the monster and at the same time, the traitor reappeared in front of Trazyn and grab Overlord’s faceplate with his free hand.

“Nice try but this is checkmate for you. You should have faced me instead of depending on your minions.” The first Alpha Legionnaire said and place Trazyn into his inventory as Necron is not a living being. A sigh of relief came out from the Alpha Legion but before he could organize his thought, a metal hand touched his shoulder plate from behind, and to his surprise Trazyn the Infinite stood with an expression of a smile on his face.

[You are million years young to defeat me. What you thought you have is an empty shell of an extra body. Now, eternity awaits you.] Said Trazyn the Infinite as he activate Tesseract Labyrinth and capture the unique Alpha Legionnaire for his Solemnace Galleries.

The last thing the first Alpha Legionnaire saw was blinding light as his vision and consciousness vanished instantly.

In the end, just as Trazyn promised, Alpha Legionnaire’s body stands alone in the center of the 20th Legion’s display and is surrounded by the artifacts, war gears, and display of major events only for one Necron Overlord to see for all eternity.

“You have perverted and twisted the path he has laid for Mankind to tread. As your own decrees have stated, there can be no mercy for such a crime, no pity for such a criminal. I renounce your lordship, you walk in the darkness and cannot be allowed to live. Your sentence has been long overdue and it is now time for you to die.” Alicia Dominica before the execution of Goge Vandire

Rana Bassilo Beckett, the Living Saint vs Second Alpha Legionnaire.

Alpharius was in pickles and he knew he was in trouble just like his two other brothers are. In front of him stands a beautiful woman with the highest lethality in combat as he previously saw footage of the fight between her and Night Lords.

The whole point for him to be here was to take out the Chapter Master of the newly founded chapter who heavily uses the Terminator armor. Using the EMP weapon, Chapter Master’s armor will be useless for a short period of time for his brothers to take out the Living Saint. Unfortunately, the plan failed and now Alpharius has to face Living Saint with a useless EMP Necron Spear.

‘Still, a spear is a spear and it is a Necron weapon. I just have to manage.’ The thoughts came to Alpharius and he handle the spear like a master spearman. To the 20th Legion’s credit, his gene fathers prefer to use spears and served them well. Meanwhile, the Living Saint quietly waits while her shield and sword stay up to protect against any surprise attack.

Seeing someone have to initiate the fight, Alpharius readies his spear and took up an aggressive stance. In a blink of an eye, the second Alpha Legionnaire launches forward with inhuman speed. The first strike of the Necron spear is blocked by the golden shield but that was just the beginning as Alpharius quickly spin the spear to make the consecutive strikes.

From the outsider’s point of view, Alpharius’s attack is improvised and masterful as each of his strikes aims toward the critical part of the opponent’s body.

As impressive as Alpharius is, he himself is troubled as his opponent managed to block each and every attack he made. The Living Saint single handily blocked or countered Alpharius ‘s attacks with ease and didn’t show any signs of panic, unlike Alpharius. What is more frightening is Living Saint’s condition. After nearly a hundred multiple attacks, the Living Saint didn’t show a single sign of exhaustion or slowness. Alpharius knew he was fighting a losing battle and he is in deep trouble.

His trouble began with Rana’s counter using her sword. The spear blade was deflected by the golden blade and in a matter of seconds, Rana reposition her sword hand and extended the weapon’s hilt. This caused the sword blade to extend directly to Alpharius’s head and without hesitation, the second Alpha Legionnaire activate his Necron phase device to avoid certain death.

As a spear blade went through Alpharius’s head without harming him, Alpharius move to his left to corner the Living Saint as she is now vulnerable to attack. As Alpharius unphased himself to make his move, he quickly realized his mistake as Living Saint also reposition herself to deliver an attack of her own once again.

By striking down the spear on the ground, Rana managed to swing herself to face now unphased Alpharius. With her primary weapon now a pole and using her momentum, she use the sharp edge of the golden shield to strike Alpharius’s chest. The destructive power of the shield bash push back Alpharius’s entire body while his chest plate cracked.

‘Crap. That was…’ Alpharius couldn’t finish his thought as Rana charged towards Alpharius while he was still flying to the other side of the room. The speed and reflex of the Living Saint surpass the Adeptus Astartes as she already picked up her spear and aim forward with her shield up.

Alpharius who is about to land on the stone pillar didn’t stop as he activates the phase device to escape the impact of the landing. Now, having something to block between himself and charging Emperor’s wild beast, Alpharius got up to make the tactical retreat to reposition himself but it was pointless as the golden lioness break through the stone pillar using her shield like ramming siege engine.

The unstoppable force of the Living Saint pushed the Alpha Legionnaire into the corner as he couldn’t get enough time to think or react. Once again, Alpharius engage in close combat against Living Saint, and it completes the opposite this time as a traitor is pushed back with overwhelming force.

Having no choice, the second Alpha Legionnaire pulls out a flash grenade from his inventory and tosses it while his helmet went into vacuum sealed. When the grenade exploded, Alpharius quickly pull out a flamer from the inventory and was about to aim the weapon toward the target when a sword pierce through the flamer and his entire left hand.

The blade of the sword burned the flesh of Alpharius and enough although his body managed to handle the pain, the problem continue as Living Saint pull out her secondary weapon from her waist.

At the same time, Alpharius attempt to fight back using his spear in his right hand but this was a pointless attempt as Rana struck Alpharius’s right arm and decapitate the entire arm. Now, completely defenseless, Alpharius couldn’t do anything except scream in pain.

Meanwhile, armed with a bolter, Rana raises her sidearm at Alpharius’s head. Without giving him a chance to say his last words, the Living Saint of the God-Emperor fire her bolter. Completely destroying the head of the hydra as his body slump down to the floor and his spear did the same.

“This is for ruining my surprise for William at the dinner party.” Said Rana, a tone of her voice cold as winter mountain.
