Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Chapter 69: Rooting out the Space Hulk (2)

This time, Arcturus was using his full power without holding back because he needed to finish up the Ork Nob as soon as possible so that he could blow up this ship into smitterness.

There was no way that he could bring this behemoth of a spaceship back with him as his prize; that was essentially mission impossible, so the sole thing that he wanted right now was to get into the terminal that the Ork Nob was using to access the main systems of the Space Hulk and download everything that was in there.

He was sure that there were a lot of precious data. Considering the fact that this Space Hulk belonged to some High-Level Civilization, it should contain a lot of precious data; if he could get his hands on more things like the Dark Matter Generator, it would be splendid.

For now, though, he was putting most of his attention on the Ork Nob in front of him. The enormous hulking mass of muscles, metal, and whatever else, was wielding an enormous choppa in his right hand and shoota in his left hand.

Orkish choice of weapon wasn't the most sophisticated one; most, if not all, of their weapons were just crude and focused solely on brute power and sheer destructiveness.

He ignored the notifications from the System as he unleashed a barrage of everything that he had, attacking the Ork Nob, who was rather clumsy due to his enormous height. As the Ork Nob was almost three and a half meters tall, he wasn't really that fast compared to Arcturus, who was using the Empyrean Power to strengthen his physique to limits.

Right now, he is the Gamma-Grade in the aspect of physique.

Still, he was putting a lot of effort into dodging the attacks of the Ork Nob because when he saw the enormous choppa of the Ork Nob that the creature was wielding, he knew that if he was hit by the enormous weapon, he would be cleaved in half.

He noticed how the Nob's weapon cracked with greenish Psionic Energy, albeit very subtly, but he was using his subconscious Psionic Potential, something that all of the Orks were capable of using under some circumstances.

'This is getting more problematic... if we continue this way, then I will soon be tired enough.'

The stamina of the Ork Nob was something that he couldn't match under any circumstances. If this turned into the battle of attrition, where the only signal thing that mattered was stamina and endurance, then Arcturus would be turned into a corpse the moment he got tired out.

One of the things that he had an advantage over the Ork Nob was the sheer Psionic might and presence of the Super-High Risk Primal Psyker Ability Dimensional Empyrean.

He dodged backward, as he barely avoided the strike of the enormous choppa that was shaped like huge age, but the Ork Nob immediately fired several projectiles from his shoota, which Arcturus blocked by invoking another ability of the Dimensional Empyrean, the Dimension Lost.

In a split moment, a crimson mist appeared between Arcturus and Ork Nob Vorgnux that was blocking all of the projectiles with ease.

Arcturus immediately controlled the Crimson Mist, putting more and more of the Psionic Energy into the Dimension Lost until the mist of the Dimsnion Lost covered the entire room where they were fighting.

Aetherius cracked with power as he aimed at the underbelly of the green beast; at the same time, he used the Dimension Lost to block another strike of the Ork Nob's choppa and managed to stab the Ork Nob into his underbelly.

Immediately, the Ork Nob screamed in pain as an entire part of his body disintegrated and blood gushed everywhere, but under Arcturus's almost astonished eyes, the enemy had already begun regenerating at a visible rate.

Still, it was a good start that he managed to give his enemy a rather severe injury, which greatly lowered his mobility.

However, it was rather shocking because if this was anyone else, this strike would have killed him instantly, yet for the Ork Nob Vorgnux, this was just an injury under which he could still continue and fight.

Immediately afterward, he created distance between the Ork and himself because he knew what would follow. The greenskins had rather particular ability because the more they were injured, the more brutally they fought.

Orks could fight even under most grievous and severe injures, that would kill anyone else, for the Orks it would be just minor problem. Instantly, the Ork Nob got enraged when he realized that the small, soft, humid managed to wound him and rushed at Arcturus with entirely newfound ferocity.

The Ork Nob threw away the shoota that he was holding and, gripped the choppa with both of his hands and attacked Arcturus with all of his power; unfortunately for the enraged Ork, Arcturus swiftly dodged to the right side and created small black of the pure Empyrean Power and shot it towards the Ork Nob who was at the moment unprotected.

Upon contact with the Empyrean Power, it sent Ork Nob flying several meters away until he crashed into the wall, which allowed Arcturus to catch his breath for a moment because, from the moment they started fighting, he didn't have a single moment of rest.

It was rather an intense fight, as the Orks were pure machines of war, and there was no other species that mastered the art of war and battle like them.

[Proficiency of the Skill Basic Swordsmanship has advanced to the Level 1 Apprentice - 0%.]

As he was executing strikes, slashes, and or any other other moves with his sword, he realized that his Proficiency with the Basic Sword Moves had reached the Apprentice Level, and everything seemed to be much easier to execute.

This was just a side effect of using the Sardau Sword Style to attack, as he finally crossed the line of Proficiency. Not only that, but their increased Proficiency in Basic Swordsmanship would have an effect on every single Sword Style that he learned or used.

Because the basics were basics, and they were the fundamentals of every single sword style.

It didn't take long for the Ork Nob to recover from being crashed into the wall and immediately returned back to Arcturus and attempted to cleave him in half with the choppa, but this time, the Asuryani Highborne was more prepared for the Ork as during the few moments he had he already managed to prepare a trap for the Ork Nob.

Instantly as the Ork Nob reached here, he was bombarded by several blasts of the Empyrean Power, and at the same time, Arcturus attacked the Ork Nob with the Sardau Star Sword like he did with the previous Ork Nob.

As the attacks were becoming from all sides, it was realistically impossible to defend against all of them at the same time, so even though, the Ork Nob managed to defend against the Empyrean Blasts with the choppa that was cracking all around from the corrosive Empyrean power, he didn't have time to defend against the Aetherius that was stabbed in his threat.

"Checkmate."

As the Aetherius was stabbed into the Ork Nob's neck, he released the full might of the Empyrean Power into his head, killing the enormous Ork instantly. Their head was their sole weak point because if it was destroyed, they would die instantly.

However, he read that there were some cases when, even with their heads being severed, the Greenskins were able to fight for some time.
