“This is a private viewing chamber,” Mortarion’s voice echoed through the vast space.

Reinforced glass was embedded into the dark gray walls, allowing starlight from the void beyond to filter in. 

Banners bearing the emblem of the Death Guard, dark green with their insignia, hung from the walls, and two rows of black sofas were casually placed in the center of the room.

Mortarion stood...

Volume 1 Chapter 54: Garde: I'll Finish This Job and Go Home to Get Married!

The rain kept pouring down, showing no signs of letting up. 

Carnelian, along with the other operators, was reinforcing the sandy foundation. 

Saria was using calcification to make the sandcastle more stable. 

This reminded Garde of the engineers.

Before every battle, engineers had to dig trenches, build roads, set up bridges, create crossing points, and remove obstacles.....

"Don't stop, keep moving!" Saria's voice commanded with unwavering determination. 

She stood on the frontmost sand vehicle, her orange eyes gleaming with resolve. 

Just as the convoy was about to collide with the still-moving body of the giant beast, she raised her hand. 

Despite the rain, the calcium in the sand was being separated.

"Solidify!" Saria's shield slammed down with force, causing the sand vehicle to...

Chapter 56: Goblin Slayer Wraps Up

More people than ever had gathered in front of Saeki’s log cabin today. The unusual buzz of activity made the man—currently clad in full armor and very much like a living corpse—feel restless and out of place.

And then, from a distant horse-drawn carria...

Hades walked alongside Mortarion through the long corridor, their pace slow and unhurried, not in any rush to reach the next destination.

Mortarion remained silent as they walked, giving Hades space to think.

Hades was still reflecting on Mortarion's earlier words.

Even though the veteran soldiers from Terra had all sworn loyalty to Mortarion, Mortarion would not so easily grant them his trust....

Volume 1 Chapter 52: Each on Their Own

The early arrival of the rainy season caught everyone off guard. 

Not only in the Foehn Hotlands but even in Acahualla, hundreds of kilometers away, it began to rain heavily.

Gavial, who are staying at Garde's house, started to gather the clothes. "Why is it raining so early this year?" she wondered, feeling a bit down as she thought of Garde, who had left the rainforest with the Rhine Lab group. 

She wished she could ha...

In the slightly barren personal room of a Space Marine, Hades sat on the edge of the bed, holding a mirror in one hand and a round incense burner in the other, lost in thought.

His original goal had been to survive on Barbarus long enough to become a Space Marine. 

Although the process had not unfolded as he had imagined, the result was the same.

However, after becoming a Space Marine, his con...

Volume 1 Chapter 51: It's Raining

A sleepless night is just that—sleepless.

Garde had once gone three months without sleeping, only closing his eyes twice during that period. 

He shouldn't have expected any reaction from Saria. 

Most likely, she didn't even see him as a member of the opposite sex!

Garde stood up as the sky began to lighten. He dusted off his pants.

"You are awake?" Saria's voice came from beside him. "You can sleep a bit longer ...

“So, that’s roughly how it is.”

“Is that so?”

Mortarion succinctly explained the current situation to Hades.

Hades sat on the bed, silently recalling Mortarion's recent words in his mind.

In short, if Hades were to paraphrase in his own language, Mortarion's words would be—

Actually, I’m a Primarch, a very powerful human.<...

Hades—no, now it’s He Shi—was sitting at his beloved small desk, painting his cherished little miniatures.

He set down the newly painted 30k Mortarion miniature and stretched. 

He glanced up at the small display case on his desk, positioned near the wall.

After some thought, He Shi reached into the display case and pulled out an Emperor figurine he had...

Volume 1 Chapter 50: The First Day

Choosing to enter the Foehn Hotlands during the rainy season had both advantages and disadvantages.

The good aspect was that the climate during this season was more bearable. Even when out of their vehicles, Rhine Lab operatives could maintain a certain level of combat effectiveness for a short time. The bad aspect, however, was that the arrival of the rainy season made the disaster beast dwelling in the Hotlands more active.

Garde referred...

Volume 1 Chapter 49: The Rainy Season in the Hotlands

In July, the scorching desert environment made progress for the convoy incredibly difficult.

An hour ago, the Rhine Lab convoy reached the border of Sargon. Everywhere they looked, they saw coarse sand, gravel, and lifeless dry gulches stretching across the landscape. 

Occasionally, a whirlwind would stir up a column of yellow sand, spiraling into the sky.

This was the end of Terra civilization. The nearest tow...

They thought that Ibut Lord Ameer's obstruction would delay their entry into the Foehn Hotlands, but to their surprise, Saria and Garde went out for a spin and got the supplies sorted.

Muelsyse felt a bit annoyed. She was still waiting for news from the general headquarters.

After killing the sand guard, there were no more enemies around. Garde looked at Elliot and said solemnly, "The reason Ibut Lord Ameer dares to take action against the underground black market is because of the Golden City. I killed this sand guard, but that doesn't mean there won't be a second or third sand guard arriving."

It was as if someone had arbitrarily chosen a spot in a space where the height above, the depth below, the width to the left, and the vastness to the right were all unknown. 

Out of this pure black void, a game room's floor, stereotypically patterned in black and white squares, abruptly materialized.

A single white light bulb swayed from the blackness above, casting a plain, pale light ...

How could Sargon have a War Caster?

No, Saria suddenly remembered something she had read in the library of her alma mater, Trimounts Institute of Technology.

The horned girl was naturally Carnelian. After being left behind by Garde, it took her two days to reach Blackrock Town, where she immediately witnessed Garde and Saria in a fierce battle.

Carnelian originally intended to go to Redhorn Town but got lost and ended up in Blackrock Town.

In the end, the outcome was favorable. She didn't care about Rhine Lab; she was just looking for Garde.

Although Garde was now wearing a helmet and a cape, ...
