Nascent Soul Rebirth: Starting as a Wizard

The troll slaves raised their shields once more, but this time, the result of the impact was completely different.

"Boom—Crack!"

The troll at the front, holding a shield, had its shield deformed the moment it made contact, and a clear sound of bones cracking came from its arm.

The immense impact forced them to retreat, causing their formation to cave in.

A stone ape-like creature roared, slamming its rocky fist into the troll's shield, sending it and the troll behind it flying backward, knocking over several of its kind.

"Hold on! Hold on!" The slave overseer's voice was hoarse, and the whip was wielded in vain.

The trolls' green eyes began to swell with blood. They discarded their badly deformed shields and gripped heavy metal clubs with both hands.

The low growl turned into a furious roar.

The defensive line went from holding firm to a brutal close-quarters combat!

An eight-meter-tall stone beast rammed into the troll, which neither dodged nor avoided it, but roared and swung its giant club down to meet it head-on!

"clang--!"

The collision of metal and rock produced a burst of sparks.

The troll's tiger's mouth split open, dripping green blood, and cracks appeared on the stone beast's head, leaving it dizzy and disoriented.

Taking advantage of the moment, the troll next to it smashed the stone beast's side with its club, denting its shell and causing the stone beast to stagger.

The battle instantly intensified.

The trolls, relying on their terrifying vitality, traded blows, risking their lives for others.

The broken bones pierced the skin, and blood gushed from the huge wounds, but they seemed oblivious to the pain, attacking frantically as long as they could still move.

The rock creatures' hard shells also began to crumble in the face of sheer force, but their numbers far exceeded those of the rock creatures.

Larger in size, they gradually pushed the trolls' lines back, leaving behind more and more green and grayish-brown limbs and broken arms on the ground.

Solo calmly observed the battlefield situation.

Although trolls are brave, they lack sophisticated combat skills and teamwork, relying more on instinct and brute force, and their bodies are too fragile.

If a proper knight were to burn the energy of the Life Seed and collide with it, only those rocky creatures would shatter.

A five-meter-tall rock centipede wrapped its dense limbs around a troll. The troll roared and struggled, but was surrounded by more and more rock creatures.

"Knights!" Solo's voice cut through the noise like the sound of a sword. He flipped and leaped off the city wall, which was dozens of meters high. He landed with his knees bent to cushion the impact, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Everyone down the wall! Left and right flanks, cover the trolls' flanks; center, follow me and break through head-on! Maintain formation, three people per group, support each other!"

Forty-seven knights responded in unison and leaped down from the wall like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

The moment they landed, a faint glow of energy rose from everyone's bodies—the seeds of life had been ignited!

A surge of life energy flows from the heart to the limbs, muscles bulge, veins stand out, and the senses become acute.

Strength, speed, reaction time, and physical strength all instantly rise to an astonishing level.

This is the essential difference between a formal knight and an ordinary soldier—the ability to burn the seed of life and gain superhuman combat power in a short period of time!

Solo charged ahead, heading straight for the rock centipede that was entangled with the troll.

Instead of confronting it head-on, he changed his footwork and slid into the rock centipede's blind spot like a fish.

The warhammer drew a simple arc in the air, seemingly unremarkable, but the moment it touched the centipede's carapace, the internal energy within Solo's body, which originated from the martial artist's cultivation in his previous life and was completely different from the life energy of this world, quietly began to circulate.

It's not about smashing it, it's about penetrating it!

"Buzz—"

The moment the warhammer made contact with the armor, a subtle yet highly penetrating force was transmitted through the hammerhead.

The rock centipede's hard shell was intact, but a series of dull cracking sounds came from inside!

The force, like a venomous snake, coursed through its body, damaging the joints of its arthropods and its fragile internal structure.

The rock centipede's movements suddenly froze, and the limbs that had been coiling around the troll loosened weakly.

Solo's second hammer blow followed immediately, this time a truly heavy one, the hammerhead striking the centipede's relatively vulnerable connection between its head and body.

"Snap!"

The connection snapped instantly, the centipede's enormous head tilted to one side, exposing its core energy, which was then shattered by Solo's third hammer blow.

The whole process was smooth and quick, taking no more than three seconds.

If it weren't for the need to conceal it, he could actually have done that with his bare hands.

This scene greatly invigorated the nearby knights. Although they didn't know what techniques Solo had used, the power of that one-hit kill, that effortless ease, was undeniable.

"kill!"

Gareth roared as his left-wing force sliced ​​into the right flank of the rocky biome like a dagger.

His battle axe was far lighter and more agile than a heavy hammer, but after burning the seed of life, the axe blade swung with a sharp, piercing sound, and the axe body even trembled slightly as it could not bear the surge of power.

He doesn't possess Solo's exquisite skill in penetrating inner force, but he has the purest and most ferocious way of expressing power from a seasoned knight.

Facing a five-meter-long stone scorpion wielding its venomous stinger, Gareth neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, he let out a low roar, and the aura of blood and qi emanating from his body suddenly intensified by three points.

He gripped the axe with both hands, not looking for any gaps or weak points in the carapace, but raising the battle axe high above his head, his whole body like a bowstring stretched to its limit, and then—slammed it down!

It's not a skillful chopping, but a primal and brutal outpouring of violence!

"Get down there, you son of a bitch!!!"

The battle axe, carrying all the brute force unleashed by the burning seed of life, transformed into a dark red bolt of lightning, slamming down from mid-air onto the stone scorpion's raised, hardest pincer-like forelimb!

"clang--!!!"

The sound of the impact was no longer the clang of metal, but more like the booming of a battering ram hitting a solid anvil!

Visible shockwaves erupted from the point of impact, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The stone scorpion's massive rock pincers, powerful enough to snap a knight's waist, shattered instantly under this axe blow, its surface covered with defensive crystal clusters!

Immediately afterwards, the heavy carapace groaned under the strain, and cracks spread wildly like a spider web.

But this is not the end!

The purest, most violent impact traveled from the stone scorpion's forelimbs throughout its entire body.

Its massive body was forced to sink downwards by this irresistible force!

Unable to withstand the sudden pressure, the eight limbs cracked and shattered, and the ground roared.

Centered on the stone scorpion, the rocky ground within a radius of several meters sank and cracked, with fragments of rock flying everywhere!

The stone scorpion's entire body was smashed into the ground by Gareth's axe!

It struggled frantically, hissing as it tried to lift its forelimbs, but its carapace was broken and its limbs were damaged, and for a time it was unable to escape its predicament of being "nailed" to the ground.

"Now!" Gareth roared, panting heavily, his arms numb from the recoil.

The two knights who had been waiting in sync instantly pounced.

They didn't even need to search for vital organs, because the stone scorpion's head was exposed due to its restrained body.
