1 Prologue

In the ancient chamber, a terrifying machine resounds, its clanking echoing through the air. Iron blades, numbering in the thousands, collide, creating a chilling symphony. Amidst this cacophony, the anguished screams of a man pierce the silence. Flesh and water splatter, creating a gruesome chorus that reverberates throughout the chamber.

Honorable men of the Imperium stand witness to an unimaginable event, their disbelief evident on their faces. Their vision tainted with a thick, crimson hue – the color of blood and torn flesh that was once alive. Yet, what remains of this individual is a grotesque sight, a result of being torn asunder by an unfamiliar weapon.

The question is not about what he has become. But what is left of him. The legionnaires stand petrified, overwhelmed by fear and dread. They watch as one of their comrades writhes in pain, screaming in torment, before being reduced to an unrecognizable mound of flesh upon the ground.

These legions were equipped with sturdy steel, heavy armor, and advanced firepower. Yet, all their might is rendered impotent in the face of this horrifying spectacle. A figure, half-naked and towering, muscles exposed from neck to abdomen, down to powerful legs, wields a peculiar blade. It rends their brethren with ruthless efficiency, bathing itself in a grotesque mixture of blood, meat, and other unmentionables inside the human body.

The half-naked man, donning a circlet of skulls and rudimentary garments fashioned from bear fur and bones, moves deliberately as the weapon's screams gradually subside. The men of the Imperium, trembling with fear, involuntarily take steps backward. Though they refuse to turn their backs, their trembling hands steady their weapons, aimed at the uncivilized figure. Their tear-filled eyes betray their terror, while their frantic breathing betrays their inability to calm their racing hearts.

As the weapon finally falls silent, the bravest among them, wielding a longsword, unleashes a final cry and lunges at the savage man. But swiftly, the weapon awakens once more, meeting the airborne assailant head-on. The cry of war transforms into a cry of anguish as the valiant swordsman is torn asunder, piece by agonizing piece, by this legendary weapon wielded by a legendary man.

Whom are of the legendary folk. Seeking revenge and justice against their treacherous foes. Five brave souls refuse to succumb to cowardice and launch themselves at the barbarian with all their might. Yet, two others choose the path of retreat, abandoning their comrades to an inevitable fate.

Cowards!

All of them met their demise in an instant, their heavy plate armor proving futile against the onslaught. Like their flesh and bones, the armor too perished. Their weapons, once formidable, proved powerless against the flesh of this deranged man, who regenerated rapidly, impervious to fire, frost, toxins, and even atomic elements. His pain was undeniable, yet he would simply regenerate, an unstoppable force that would persist without relent.

No force could contend with the steel wielded by this man, forged by the Gods themselves and empowered with the wisdom of ancestors. The two cowards found themselves trapped as the chamber's gates sealed shut. Before the barbarian could deliver his final blow to the cowards, he offered a prayer for the fallen legionnaires. Their valor, courage, and sacrifice had surely earned them pride in the eyes of their ancestors. They were worthy souls destined to enter the gates of Valhal, having valiantly fought against the unstoppable, albeit overwhelmed in the end.

As for the remaining two, there would be no salvation, only eternal punishment in the infernal rivers of Hades.

The report spread among the hundreds of cohorts, the champions of the elite special forces who had met a brutal end at the hands of the savage man. These were the finest warriors among all the legions, and fear gripped every man, knowing they could be the next victim of his merciless weapons.

However, General Hofus, a revered leader, refused to yield. The reclamation of the Ancient City for the Eternal Imperium was of paramount importance. It would be a shameful fate for the savage tribes, with their face paint and uncivilized ways, to have seized a glorious city built by their predecessors.

The cohorts found themselves compelled to face a battle that seemed insurmountable. The savages, under the command of a lone warrior, resembled an unstoppable force.

"Today is a good day to die! Today is a great day to meet the gods!" General Hofus proclaimed, rallying his troops. "This relentless abomination that has claimed one of our finest will soon face us on the battlefield! It may seem futile to resist, and this battle might be our last, but take solace in the fact that the gods have surely favored us! The signs and omens are so numerous and so in our favor that I cannot recount them all and still have time for the battle ahead! Let us offer prayers to the gods for victory, and let us arm ourselves to the teeth, just in case the gods aren't listening."

Thus spoke General Hofus, standing atop a towering rock, delivering his impassioned speech to the legions who would soon confront their impending doom.

The cheers of the men resonated through the ranks, yet doubt still lingered within their hearts. General Hofus wasted no time and swiftly issued commands, organizing his troops into a battle formation. Though their numbers may not have been vast, they were armed to the teeth with deadly vehicles and formidable weaponry: cannons, battle tanks, flying chariots, drones, laser blasters, power armor, hover motorcycles, and mighty shields.

As the army advanced towards the gates of the castle, General Hofus singled out three officers, instructing them to scout the area by flying over the mountain on the opposite side of the field. The pervasive doubt and terror had stripped away their identities as honorable sons of the Eternal City. They had become civilized yet terrified Latin men, bearing witness to the wrath of the barbarian.

"Who... who is he?" questioned a young and naive officer. "Every man speaks of him as if he were a legend. I fail to comprehend why everyone is gripped with fear."

The response was solemn and filled with wisdom, "Oh, you don't know what we're dealing with lad."

"The man you face is a savage hailing from the desolate lands, where death and chaos reign supreme. The tribe he hails from has tamed that unforgiving land, much like a saint taming a pack of lions in a pit. Some believe he is immortal, others deem him a god, a ruthless and unstoppable madman, or even a hero bound by a divine prophecy. But none could have anticipated that this One Man Army would turn against the Empire and the Latin men who built and defended it."

"Curse those who must face this merciless God-like being wielding a weapon of mass destruction. None who have glimpsed his weapon have lived to tell the tale," the experienced soldier explained with a tone of dread.

"If you're unaware of the legend, his weapon is akin to a sword, forged from the fusion of a thousand blades into a single hilt. Its speed rivals that of a galloping steed. His sword possesses the spirit of a war hero, its war cry piercing your ears, causing them to bleed before draining the life from your body."

The young man trembled in fear, realizing the magnitude of the impending battle. However, there was no turning back now. The helicopter touched down in the designated area, and their mission had to be carried out, regardless of the looming danger.

Gazing over the mountain, they hoped to find some semblance of control, but deep down, they knew the odds were stacked against them.

They meticulously scanned every inch of the surrounding area, alert for any signs of life or unknown movements. However, an unspoken understanding prevented them from venturing deeper into the mountain. The reason was clear to all, from the mightiest to the weakest among them – they sought to evade death. Yet, one cannot escape those who hold the deepest affection for them.

Death loved them dearly, and in its affection, it offered its only begotten son. A son whose presence carried a pungent stench, a blend of testosterone, men's sweat, blood, and the allure of pheromones that enticed even the fairer sex. In a mere second, the first officer discerned the distinct scent, only to be met with the onslaught of a thousand blades piercing his chest. His bones and organs scattered into the sky, far swifter than the excruciating pain that seized his chest. His agonized screams reverberated through the open sky, but they were short-lived, as the blades cleaved his head in two.

The other two officers, compelled by the screams of death and the sickening sound of dismemberment, hastened toward the source. Their hearts pounding, they stumbled upon a broken body, unrecognizable amidst the fragments of shattered bones, torn flesh, pooling blood, and an aura of despair that emanated the essence of mortality itself.

Two of them regretted ever being appointed for this perilous task. The young man, overwhelmed by fear, swiftly retreated, abandoning his mission. On the other hand, the seasoned veteran drew his sword, scanning his surroundings, determined to locate the infamous villain. The legendary man was known for his sadistic penchant for killings, reveling in the terror he instilled in his prey. It was only a matter of time until the grip of terror weakened the veteran's hold on his weapon, causing him to lose his grasp and drop it to the ground.

As he reached down to retrieve his sword, the piercing screech of the weapon drowned out all other sounds, penetrating the depths of his ears. His final scream echoed into the void as his life was extinguished. The young man, consumed by terror, let out a scream that conveyed the profound depth of his fear upon hearing the demise of the old veteran, whom he had only recently met.

Desperate for escape, the young man called for the heli-craft to retrieve him and report the deaths of the fellow scouts. However, the general demanded results and valuable information, refusing to retrieve any individuals who had failed to fulfill their orders. The young man's pleas fell on deaf ears as the operator denied his request, the drilling sound of the machine all too familiar—a sound that spelled imminent danger. Recognizing his fate, the young man knelt down, weeping bitterly, and offered prayers to the gods for forgiveness of his sins.

It was a sight both awe-inspiring and harrowing to behold—the clash between the legions of the Imperium and the savage inhabitants of the desolated wasteland. Would the sons of the Empire survive the onslaught and emerge as conquerors? Or would the shirtless, long-bearded men seize the opportunity to fight alongside the legendary warrior?

The truth swiftly unraveled as dozens of legions were torn asunder in mere moments, blood raining down with every clang of iron rending flesh apart. The mighty men of the legions screamed, never having anticipated such a beastly adversary. Unfortunate souls were dismembered piece by piece, legs severed like logs of wood, ugly heads drilled and destroyed, reduced to a macabre medley of shredded flesh. A young boy's scream pierced the air as he witnessed his own body transformed into a mere chunk of meat and bloody pulp.

The legendary warrior stood alone, while the entire legion encircled him, paralyzed by the madness they beheld. The barbarian had broken through their supposedly unbreakable lines of shield walls, while the half-naked longbeards armed only with primitive weapons suffered minimal losses. Legionaries fled in fear, armored vehicles and aircraft striving to regain the upper hand by attempting to eliminate the legendary barbarian.

Seemingly out of reach, the barbarian swung his blade with the fury of a tornado before hurling it into the sky, striking the heli-craft directly in its engines. An explosion reverberated, sending shockwaves through every soul. General Hofus trembled with fear and became consumed by rage. It was inconceivable. This barbarian had to be halted. The decimation of his legions by an unarmed savage, led by a naked man wielding a mythical weapon, was a humiliation.

The general understood his duty. He swiftly mounted a chariot and rode to the frontlines, his bodyguards at his side. Meanwhile, his sergeants valiantly endeavored to rally the troops. With eyes wide open to the looming certainty of death, General Hofus ventured forth. He would rather die with honor than retreat in shame, his determination unyielding in the face of impending doom.

As the legionnaires retreated from the battlefield, the legendary barbarian, drenched in blood, stood amidst the desolate wasteland, his feet planted firmly on the pools of crimson that spilled from the lifeless bodies surrounding him. Behind him, an army of savages celebrated with a bone-chilling war cry, a sound reminiscent of lions, gorillas, tigers, and ravens—an intimidating reminder to the cowards who had turned and fled.

General Hofus, holding back his bodyguards, resolved to confront the lone barbarian himself. He knew that victory had eluded him, but amidst this crushing defeat, he saw a golden opportunity. If the barbarian had fought with such brute force, effortlessly tearing their men apart, perhaps he would honor the invitation for an honorable duel.

Drawing forth his family heirloom, the ever-cutting claymore, General Hofus revealed a weapon crafted from alloys forged in the searing heat of a satellite forge orbiting the sun. Despite his aging appearance, the old war veteran remained resolute. He had endured countless battles, and it had been far too long since he last took a life on the field. Gray-white hair, a wide balding spot on his head, and a weathered face bore testament to the passing years. Nevertheless, he refused to let age hinder him, firmly adopting a combat stance that inspired both his own men and their adversaries.

Accepting the invitation, the barbarian dropped his mythical weapon to the ground, a baffling gesture. The half-naked man, with his well-built physique and bulging muscles, extended his arms wide, a prideful smirk adorning his face, seemingly oblivious to the immense carnage he had wrought. He beckoned the elderly general to strike first.

General Hofus felt a surge of confidence, perceiving this arrogant display as a potential downfall for the brute who reveled in his violent achievements. He believed this would be his opportunity to overcome. With a primal scream, the general ran and leaped forward, aiming to strike the barbarian's chest.

Success! The claymore pierced through the naked man's chest, blood spurting onto the general's face as he witnessed the gruesome sight of his adversary being impaled. Finally, after all this time, he had achieved it. However, something seemed amiss. The barbarian reacted unexpectedly.

Still smiling, he shifted only his eyes, as the claymore lodged in his chest, cleaving his heart in two. Yet, unlike any ordinary man, he did not experience pain or show signs of injury from the metal penetrating his body. On the contrary, he appeared even happier.

The barbarian then pulled the claymore deeper, causing real pain, but the excruciating agony that would typically claim most lives seemed like a mere jest to him. With unwavering determination, he continued to drive the weapon inward until his gut pressed against the hilt of the claymore. Finally, he turned his gaze toward General Hofus, who stood in stunned silence, his realization of the monstrous adversary he had encountered leaving him speechless.

The barbarian, now standing in close proximity to the general, extended his arms and delivered a forceful clap to the general's ears. The impact was greater than that of a blunt machine, capable of flattening even stainless steel. Blood gushed from the general's eyes, mouth, nose, and ears, but there was no grisly scene of dismemberment accompanying his demise. Instead, his brain had been crushed within his skull.

Kneeling, the general released his grip on the claymore. With his last breath, he observed the barbarian effortlessly withdrawing the weapon from his chest, the bloody hole revealing organs and blood against the backdrop of the open sky, with the bellowing barbarian armies surrounding them. Astonishingly, there was no pain or discomfort evident on the barbarian's face, despite the gruesome wound. Instead, the barbarian regarded the fallen general with a mix of awe and admiration, displaying a glimmer of compassion in his eyes.

In that moment, the barbarian recalled that the foes they had faced were not just uncivilized savages but men of honor as well. A single word escaped the barbarian's lips, resonating in the dying general's ears, "You fought with honor and valor, bravely riding into battle even after losing everything. The Valkyrie will surely carry you to Valhalla!"

Those were the last words the general heard before passing away. The majestic physique of the barbarian, from his well-defined pectoral muscles to his powerful calves, remained the final image imprinted upon the general's fading sight before it succumbed to the eternal darkness.

The barbarian permitted the fallen general's bodyguards to depart the battlefield in peace, knowing they would carry with them a new chapter of his saga, ensuring that the tales of their encounter would be shared and remembered.

In the grand tapestry of the ages, the life of General Hofus reached its inevitable conclusion. This valiant commander, who had displayed unwavering courage and wisdom throughout his storied career, now faced his ultimate test. In the twilight of his existence, he refused to retreat in fear, opting instead to embrace a noble death befitting a warrior of his stature. Such was the mettle of the man who had etched his name in the annals of history.

In the realm of legends, The Barbarian's appellation reverberated with awe-inspiring power: the Man of Iron. For he possessed an impenetrable resilience that rendered him impervious to the sting of the battlefield. His blood, an enigmatic elixir, defied mortal comprehension, coursing through his veins with an immortal essence. Legends whispered that it held the very secrets of eternity.

Clutched within his grasp, an instrument of divine craftsmanship awaited—the weapon of a thousand blades. Forged by the gods themselves at the cosmic heart, this mythical marvel bore witness to the inception of the universe. It bore the weight of infinite battles fought and countless foes vanquished.

Through the corridors of time, his name would resound as a symphony of valor and inspiration. The tales and sagas spun in his wake would stretch across generations, kindling the fires of bravery in the hearts of future warriors. From the farthest reaches of the cosmos to the humblest corners of existence, the name Blargh The Destroyer would ignite a primal reverence.

Yet, beyond the title bestowed upon him, he embodied more than a mere moniker. He became a living embodiment of the untamed, a force that defied the norms of mortal constraints. The epithet Barbarian Chainsaw encapsulated the sheer ferocity and unyielding spirit that coursed through his every sinew. His presence commanded both respect and fear, for he was a tempest incarnate, leaving naught but devastation in his wake.

In the realm of destiny, General Hofus had etched his place with an indelible pen. He had transcended the boundaries of mortality and carved his name upon the sacred tablets of heroism. With every heartbeat, his legend grew, surpassing the confines of time itself.

As the ages turned, the tales of his deeds would endure, continuing to inspire, mesmerize, and captivate all who heard the epic saga of the Man of Iron
