After taking off his Archon Armor, Damon was only wearing a pair of tight combat trousers.

Once just an ordinary interstellar human, he became Gao Yi's first follower to come to this world, and now he already possessed a perfect body.

The presence of the medic ensured that the injuries he had suffered did not leave any scars on his body.

Lucio on the opposite side looked at Damon's body and found no signs of modification or mechanical implants.

Not only him, other people have the same idea as him.

Even he couldn't help but look down on Damon. Although the Empire has always pursued pure humans, ordinary humans are still too weak compared to the countless aliens in the galaxy, and their upper limit is also very low.

When Lucio takes off his combat suit, his body is covered with the black carapace and neural access ports unique to Space Marines.

The modified organs in the body are constantly providing this body with terrifying power.

His body was covered with countless scars.

In comparison, Damon is like a flower in a greenhouse who has never experienced combat, while Lucio is a superhuman warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles.

Most people had already made up their minds about the outcome of the battle, and no one thought Damon could win.

Hux had even started arranging for the pharmacist to arrive as soon as possible. Even if Damon lost, Hux didn't want Damon to be beaten to death.

These Astra Militarum troops from the Expanse didn't look like good people either, and he had heard of the Space Wolves' reputation for brutality. If Damon died, he didn't want to see these people get impatient and cause things to go out of control.

"For the Emperor!"

"For the Rogue Trader!"

The battle begins the moment both sides are ready.

The two giants fought in the most primitive way.

The speed displayed by the two at this time is far beyond the reach of mortals.

Gabriel frowned.

What kind of genetic enhancement technology could enhance a mortal to such an extent without leaving any trace?

The scene he imagined of his sergeant suppressing the opponent did not appear. The strength and speed displayed by Damon were even greater than Lucio?

He could see that Lucio was relying on his combat experience and skills to fight Damon.

Damon's fighting skills actually have the distinct characteristics of a Space Wolves, and the battle of life and death also gave Damon his own understanding of fighting.

It seems brutal, but every attack is well thought out.

This is barbaric art.

Lucio had not yet exerted his full strength.

But when the opponent easily dodged his fist and was hit in the abdomen by him again, he did not dare to hold back.

He could feel that his ribs, which had been strengthened by bones and turned into a shape similar to Venetian blinds, actually cracked after being punched by the opponent.

After killing a large number of demons, Damon's muscle density and bone strength are much stronger than those of his opponents.

Lucio's fist hit Damon, but it only caused superficial pain but failed to cause more damage.

There are no unnecessary tactics, only the most direct close combat with fists hitting the flesh.

"Well done! Damon! Just like I taught you, fight like the most ferocious wolf. Your fists are your claws, tear your enemies into pieces! Your body is your weapon. If you were in Fenris, you could definitely join the wolf pack and become an excellent wolf!"

Harald had no doubt that Damon could easily pass the Morkai Trials required for Space Wolves selection on Fenris.

Looking at Harald's reaction, Gabriel confirmed his guess that the connection between this group of Space Wolves and these Astra Militarum Legions was deeper than he had imagined, and they even personally taught these people how to fight.

Neither side had weapons, and for a while neither could inflict fatal injuries to the other.

Gabriel looked at the current situation and thought that perhaps Lucio would only have a chance of winning if he put on power armor and took out various holy objects from the chapter treasury.

Or he could send out the think tank of the regiment, but he couldn't afford to let the think tank suppress a person without psychic power. Even if he won, it would be the same as losing.

Damon's fighting ability is beyond everyone's understanding.

There were dozens of other warriors of similar size and wearing the same armor.

Gabriel has already realized that there is no need to continue fighting like this.

The Space Marines were suppressed like this in the battle with mortals. Although Gabriel doubted whether the other party was really a mortal?

Perhaps the technology that enhanced Damon's strength was more valuable than the battle suit they were holding.

This time they stole something tough.

"That's enough, Lucio! Stop it!"

"Grandmaster! I haven't lost yet!"

"Sergeant! This is an order!"

Gabriel's words made both of them stop.

Damon spat out the bloody phlegm in his mouth and stretched his aching muscles.

He knew that many of the other's bones were broken.

The joy of fighting and winning made him laugh, and he once again won glory for Gao Yi.

Hux also gasped.

He had never seen anything like this in his tenure as Governor of Sinti.

The status of the Agasos Rangers rose again in his eyes, and he was even thinking about how to poach these soldiers.

Lucio walked up to Gabriel.

"I'm sorry, Grand Master...I lost."

"There's no need to worry about it. These people's bodies are abnormal. It should be a genetic enhancement technology that we don't know about."

However, although Lucio's injuries seem serious, he will be able to recover quickly thanks to the Space Marine's own repair ability.

"The duel has been decided, and this conflict ends here!"

Hux stepped into the middle.

The Blood Ravens reluctantly returned the battlesuits to the Rangers.

Gabriel also took off the soul stone from the think tank and threw it at Damon.

Damon caught it steadily and looked at the Soul Stone in his hand. He knew that the lord's mission was accomplished!

Nothing is more important than this.

Gao Yi, who had been using the system to watch the entire process, was also extremely excited.

"There is hope for unlocking!"

"We need more Soul Stones!"

"I'll send the Soul Stone over!"

The failure of the duel made the atmosphere among the Blood Crows somewhat solemn. They could see that their grand mentor was very angry.

The onlookers also wisely made way. Just because the Monget Dynasty could afford to provoke Astartes, it didn't mean they could do the same.

Gabriel brought all the Blood Ravens back to the chapter's flagship, the battle barge Mysterium.

Predator tanks, Landry speeders, Thunderhawk gunships and other Space Marine-specific vehicles are parked neatly in the hangar in large numbers.

The Blood Crows, who have been digging graves and exploring the unknown for years, have a good relationship with the Mechanical Order. After sharing the dividends with the order from time to time on the technological items they dig out, they also gain the support of the order.

This makes their equipment far richer than that of ordinary regiments, and the large amount of knowledge and technical reserves also enable technical sergeants to have sufficient maintenance and even manufacturing capabilities.

Back inside the battleship, Gabriel heads to the Chapter's treasury.

When the doors of the treasury were opened, countless relics from other chapters were displayed, preserved using special techniques.

When necessary, the relics here will be used to arm the members of the chapter for battle.

Not only the relics of other Chapters, but also those of the Astra Militarum, the Sisters of Battle, the Ecclesiarchy, the Inquisition, and even those used by the Loyalist Primarchs.

Not only the loyalists, but also the chapters to which the rebellious primarchs belonged have their holy relics on display here.

God knows how much the Blood Crow has hidden.

Blasphemous or not, they all collected it.

The Blood Ravens' Chapter Hoard is enough to drive many people crazy.

If the Blood Ravens were declared a sub-group of the Salamanders, perhaps the Salamanders would have found all the relics needed to recover Vulkan.

The technical sergeant took out the soul stones stored here. These were the spoils captured by the Blood Ravens in their battles with the Eldar over the years. Some of them were formed after the death of some powerful Eldar warriors.

"Grand Master, the Soul Stones are all here!"

"Take these soul stones, I need to talk to the Astra Militarum commander named Damon!"

Gabriel still needs to obtain the Rangers' technology, and the reason why Damon and others are so powerful makes him extremely curious.
