My Life as A Death Guard

Chapter 51: Barasine

The Endurance, First Company Training Hall

Now.

<+>

This is the largest training hall aboard the Endurance. 

The vast gray metal walls stand silently in the distance, the ceiling impossibly high, with lights beaming directly down, bright and blinding. 

The hall is divided into different sections: physical training, shooting range, combat zone... Squads of Space Marines march through, and from the observation deck on the ...

Volume 1 Chapter 64: Nightmare

“Saria, are you really going? The situation at the company isn't dire enough for you to risk your life.”

“But if I don't, we'll have to compromise, won't we?”

“There must be another way.”

“This is our Rhine Lab. I don't want anyone to tarnish it!”

“…”

Saria opened her eyes and found herself lying on a dune buggy.  

Why was she lying on a dune buggy?  

Saria "remembered"—s...

Chapter 50: The Archive Room and the Historian

The Endurance, Third Archive

Now.

<+>

The already sparsely populated third archive room was even emptier today. 

A few servitors, cloaked in simple gray-green robes, quietly shuffled between the bookshelves, organizing, retrieving, and copying books. 

The gentle sound of woolen pen tips scratching across paper filled the air.

The third archive room didn't entirely maintain the stark simpli...

Volume 1 Chapter 63: Ho'olheyak

After killing the last Nightzmora Knight and erasing their traces, Garde felt no mercy. 

The past of these Nightzmora Knights meant nothing to him; he only knew they had obstructed his path.

More than the Nightzmora Knights, Garde was intrigued by his own transformation. 

Although it was brief, in this space of consciousness, his mastery over the power of ascension had greatly improved. 

Initially, he hadn’t intend...

Sam was a noble child from the southern territory—more specifically, the son of an earl. By all rights, his life should have been one of luxury, where every need was met with a snap of the fingers. Yet Sam had never liked the stuffy formalities of noble society. ...

Hades slowly spooned porridge into his mouth. 

The cafeteria, quiet and empty, was almost deserted as it wasn’t mealtime.

Vorx had gone to the duel cage to thrash some opponents. 

He was already a rising star in the southern forces, and with the devilish training regimen of the Seventh Company, his combat prowess had skyrocketed.

Hades suspected that Vor...

The sudden sound by his ear did not distract Garde. 

He first turned his head to look at the tiny Nightzmora Knights at his feet, as small as ants.

Garde's transformation alarmed the Nightzmora Knights. 

In reality, they were not as omnipotent as they believed themselves to be. 

Their power was dependent on their perception. 

Perhaps the first Nightzmora Knight, upon creatin...

Hades held his scythe, swiftly dodging the attacks of the combat servitor in front of him.

The giant six-bladed combat servitor's attacks were relentless, the chainsaw's roar deafening as it slashed towards Hades.

Hades quickly repelled the oncoming chainsaw with his scythe, the blade moving like lightning in the air. Countless tiny sparks flew from the clas...

"Adakrys, why are you here?" the knight demanded.

"I came to find my companions!" Garde replied, looking up at the knight before him. 

This was unusual for Garde, as he was accustomed to looking down on others. 

Being looked down upon was a first for him. 

"They accidentally entered your dream."

"Dream?" The knight laughed upon hearing Garde's words. 

Not only did he laugh, but the thous...

Clang!

A loud metallic sound echoed in the vast, empty cafeteria. A bowl clattered onto the metal table.

Hades, a little embarrassed, smiled apologetically at Vorx, who sat across from him. Then, with practiced ease, he took another bowl of white porridge from the servitor next to him.

Well, calling it a "bowl" might be an understatement—it was more like a pot-sized...

"Hmm, someone actually disturbed that consciousness space?"

In a grand and majestic library with an ancient atmosphere far from the Hotlands and thousands of miles away from Sargon, in Columbia, a mature woman lifted her head as Garde destroyed a Nightzmora Knight's remains. "How interesting."

The woman, with a snake's feathered crest, showed a charming smile. 

Her white office dress and black stockings wrapped around her...

Vorx sat quietly in his seat, watching as the Apothecary, Leo, applied medicine to his wounds.

He moved his body, raising his hand or turning as needed, helping Leo treat him with ease—Vorx seemed quite accustomed to this routine.

Compared to the quiet and somewhat weak Vorx, the person beside him, Hades, appeared full of energy, his eyes shining brightly.

Garde clenched his large axe atop the sandcastle.

The Crocodile Man sensed something was wrong. 

These machines, which should have been deeper in the Hotlands, were here. 

Why were they appearing in the graveyard of Nightzmorans?

Boom!

Garde jumped from the roof, landing on the sand. 

He wanted to wake up Saria. 

Given the unexpected changes, the best approach w...

“Even moving along the path once trodden by the Nightzmorans is only marginally safer than other areas.”

At this moment, the operators of Rhine Lab finally understood Garde’s words. 

It truly was only a tiny bit safer.

“I once counted when I had nothing better to do. There are over two thousand Nightzmora knights buried here, with a dozen or so of them being Nightzmora Qashqai. Their bodies have created a permanent...

In a private training room beside the Seventh Company’s training hall, Hades stood in a simple combat suit, holding a standard-issue scythe, next to a training cage.

That veteran—Hades later learned his name was Branka, the battalion commander of the Seventh Company’s Second Battalion—was standing next to Hades, wearing an MK2 power armor with his arms crossed.

The rain had stopped.

It was undoubtedly good news.

On the third day of entering the Hotlands, the operators from Rhine Lab had lost their initial enthusiasm and had become extremely silent.

The driver followed the instructions of Garde, who was sitting on the roof of the vehicle, avoiding dangerous areas and continuing to move forward.

Carnelian climbed onto the roof, braving the hot wind, and this time, she wisely sat behind Garde....

Impossible!

Fresh blood dripped down, outlining a fiery red shape that looked like lips—like a mouth that could swallow a person whole in one bite.
