A terrifying roar swept through the upper spiers of Commorragh, surprising and surprising many people, including Asrubair Victor.
The Overlord of Commorragh sat high on his black throne full of spikes and sharp blades. His gloomy and cunning eyes glanced at the important task below, and his right hand gently held his Archon's scepter.
Then, in the silence, the pale face under the towering pointed helmet suddenly revealed a strange smile.
"hehe....."
His laughter is more likely to shake people's minds than in space. Only those cabal warriors who have followed him all year round can endure such laughter.
"Shado."
With a call, a warrior wearing black spiked armor walked out of the shadows.
"My dearest eyes and ears, can you tell me what's going on in the Nightmare Temple?"
Nightmares are mercenary members of the Dark Eldar, much like their Aspect warrior counterparts in the Craftworld, they are dedicated to the perfect kill.
In the mercenary market, Nightmares are in great demand. Whether as bodyguards or commandos, Nightmares will offer their loyalty to any employer with financial resources.
These dark warriors are obsessed with mastering the ruthless weapon known as the Kleve Knives, a single-blade melee weapon that the Nightmares have made as much a part of themselves as their murderous heart.
In combat, the Nightmare Warrior can wield this weapon with deadly accuracy, severing limbs and shattering weapons.
The road to becoming a nightmare is extremely dangerous and requires years of training. The strong will always become stronger, while the weak will only be chopped to the ground and their bodies will be incinerated into ashes and dedicated to the statue of Kane in the center of the Nightmare Shrine.
The earliest Nightmare Warriors are said to come from the first Phoenix Lord of the Assault Scorpion, the "Scorpion Father", and now the "Fallen Phoenix" Ahra, who was lost on the path of Slaanesh's corruption and became a Dark Eldar, becoming the first Nightmare.
, established the first Nightmare Shrine in Commorragh.
As servants of Cairn the Bloodhand, the Nightmares never swore allegiance to any witch sect or cabal. They were only loyal to their own war shrines, so they were also an independent force that Commorragh could not ignore.
There are dozens of nightmare shrines located in the Dark City, from towering black crystal spiers to maze-like brazier caves. Some small shrines can only accommodate a few people, and are structured as a central shrine surrounded by trophies hunted by recruits.
The larger shrines are relatively spectacular.
But there is only one shrine that is unique, and that is the first Nightmare Shrine. The shrine built by the fallen Phoenix himself is called the Nightmare Temple.
The Bishop of the Nightmare Temple is also the spiritual leader of all Nightmare Warriors. He is a being that Asrubal Victor must also pay attention to and treat with caution.
The summoned cabal warrior was silent for a moment, and then replied in a weak tone:
"Master, the only thing you know is that Drazal locked himself in the secret room five days ago and never took a step forward. The nightmares were also surprised by the abnormality of their bishop."
"That's really weird."
Asrubair changed his posture and leaned on the throne, which seemed more comfortable this way.
"It suddenly went crazy and roared something...well, what's that word called, doomsday wail."
"Master, that is Bloodhand Kane's weapon."
The Overlord of Comoros lowered his gaze and raised a smile on his lips.
"If you make progress, you will be able to answer questions again."
The cabal warrior's shoulders shook slightly, he lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Bloody Kane, Bloody Kane..."
The leader of the Black Heart Cabal tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, seeming to be thinking about something.
Asrubair Victor is not only the current ruler of the Black Heart Cabal, but also the current supreme overlord of Commorragh. Legend has it that he is also the oldest among his kind, and his age is even older than the Great Fall of the Eldar.
, a being of the same era as the great prophet of Uthwe Ark.
Therefore, he knows the weaknesses of almost all intelligent races in the galaxy, as well as the fatal flaws of his own compatriots, and can be said to be one of the most ancient, powerful and deadly living creatures in the galaxy.
Of course, the knowledge stored in his mind is unparalleled in the world.
"By the way, Shado, do you know the origin of this guy Drazal?"
The Dark Eldar shook his head.
"Master, no one knows its origin. More than 10,000 years ago, this mysterious guy broke into the Nightmare Temple wearing a high-level ancient split armor. He killed all the nightmares' interceptions by himself. When he reached the bishop's throne,
In front of him, he saluted the then bishop as a challenge, and the nightmare bishop then started a duel with this mysterious man... In just a few minutes, the former bishop turned into a pile of dismembered pieces of meat, and from then on
Drazal obtained the position of bishop, but he did not sit on the throne. Instead, he wiped off the blood stains on his armor and bowed briefly to the corpse, but all nightmares still regarded him as the master."
Having said this, the conspiracy warrior suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his throat. He coughed twice and continued:
"Some people have offered high prices, including the Haemonculi Society, and have also offered a reward for its true identity, but so far nothing has been found. Some people claim that he is Ahela, the legendary dark godfather of the Nightmare Temple, the fallen Phoenix Lord of the Assault Scorpion Shrine, and some people
It is said that he is one of the many fragments of Kane remaining in the world, but some people say that under his armor is just a ball of dust... But there is no doubt that he has never lost in a duel, whether it is the Void Brothers
Neither Clevax Kerathos nor Lelys Hespera of the Witchling Cult won a victory from him."
Suddenly, he felt the discomfort in his throat deepen, but he didn't care.
"He never speaks, never takes off his helmet and armor, and does not even need to eat or sleep. He only relies on simple head movements to communicate with the outside world. Only the highest-level nightmares can get a slight courtesy response from him,"
"My dear eyes and ears, you know so much, but just now, that guy left his secret room, summoned the nightmares, announced that he would hunt for Kane, and beheaded the hidden line you laid."
Asrubair Victor looked at his subordinates with a smile. The conspiracy warrior suddenly realized that he was so close to the overlord, almost in front of his eyes.
"Perhaps this is a good opportunity to uncover the mystery of his identity."
As he said that, he was "forced" to slowly turn his head, only to see his headless body standing under the court. When he lowered his gaze, he saw a blood-stained spine floating under his neck——
The next moment, he tried to scream, but no sound came out.
"Send a message to the Nightmare Temple and say... I want to talk to him."
Staring at the heads of his men with a smile, the overlord of Comoros began to add another plot to his countless conspiracies in his life.
