Nascent Soul Rebirth: Starting as a Wizard

Could it be that even such a powerful leader couldn't withstand the terrifying power of this crystal cluster monster?

In that very instant when despair and horror had just begun to rise—

"Cough cough..." A soft cough came from the smoke and dust.

Immediately afterwards, the clump of dust that had not yet dispersed suddenly shrank inward, as if it were being drawn in by an invisible force!

A figure burst forth from within, like a cheetah freed from all restraints!

It's Solo!

His armor had several noticeable dents and scratches, a streak of blood hung from the corner of his mouth, and his face was slightly pale.

But those eyes were terrifyingly bright, burning with a cold fighting spirit and determination!

The spot where he landed even left two deep dents in the rocky ground.

There was no time for anyone to react or worry. Solo's figure had already transformed into a blur that tore through the air, carrying an even more resolute aura than before.

It pounced again on the crystal cluster lizard that had just finished whipping its tail and seemed a little dazed!

It was so fast that it even left a faint, fleeting visual trail behind it!

In mid-air—this time he took the initiative to leap with all his might—Solo gripped his hammer with both hands, channeling all his power, rage, and calculation.

The seeds of life burn wildly without regard for the consequences, the martial artist's internal energy is compressed to the extreme without regard for loss, and the body falls due to the acceleration of gravity.

And that murderous intent, which became even more ferocious after being repelled, was concentrated without reservation at the point of the hammer!

The rudimentary vibration runes on the warhammer were pushed to their limits, emitting a piercing shriek that was almost devastating, and the air around the hammerhead was subtly distorted!

His target remained clear and deadly—the energy node behind the monitor lizard's neck, where the crystal clusters were relatively sparse and the natural patterns on its carapace intersected!

"break--!!!"

With a roar, the warhammer crashed down with the devastating force of a meteor falling to earth and everything in its path being destroyed!

"clang----!!!"

An unprecedentedly loud impact resounded, even drowning out all the noise of the battlefield!

A visible shockwave spread out from the point of impact, stirring up clouds of dust.

The massive body of the Crystal Cluster Stone Lizard, which was powerful enough to crush a city wall, was struck by this hammer, causing its head to suddenly sink downwards, its forelimbs to buckle, and it almost collapsed to its knees!

The carapace on its neck, where it was hit, developed dense, spiderweb-like cracks, with a large depression at the center of the cracks, and the internal crystal structure was clearly broken.

But this is not over yet!

The instant the warhammer struck the carapace, Solo's inner force, like countless fine needles, traveled along the hammerhead, penetrating and wreaking havoc within the giant lizard's sturdy carapace!

This is the real killer move!

The external impact damaged the structure, while the internal penetrating oscillations directly damaged its energy circulation nodes and nerve bundles!

"roar--!!!"

The Crystal Cluster Stone Lizard roared in pain and rage, frantically shaking its head in an attempt to fling Solo away.

Solo used the recoil to somersault backward in mid-air and landed steadily, his face slightly pale—the attack had taken a huge toll.

"Now! Attack its neck and head!" Solo ordered, panting.

Needless to say, the experienced knights seized this excellent opportunity.

Gareth was the first to rush forward, his battle axe striking the most densely cracked part of the giant lizard's neck, further widening the wound.

The other knights' warhammers and maces rained down, precisely targeting the giant lizard's vulnerable spots exposed by its pain—its eyes, the gaps in its mouth, and the wounds on its neck.

The giant lizard struggled frantically, its tail hammer sweeping away two knights who couldn't dodge in time, and its crystallized breath melted scorched grooves into the ground.

However, its reaction and defense were greatly diminished by Sorona's devastating first blow.

The knights attacked fearlessly, while the trolls hurled stones and harassed them from a distance with their giant clubs.

Less than three minutes later, the most ferocious crystal cluster stone lizard finally collapsed to the ground with a mournful cry of resentment, its head shattered and its core extinguished.

"They've taken them down!" the knights roared with excitement.

But the battle is not over yet.

The other two crystal cluster stone lizards had already rushed close to the defensive line formed by the trolls.

Although the trolls fought desperately, using their shields, bodies, and even teeth to block the attack, their defenses appeared precarious in the face of a behemoth of this magnitude.

A troll was struck by the stone lizard's forepaw, its entire chest caved in, and green blood gushed out. Although it was not dead yet, it had clearly lost its fighting ability.

The defenses began to crumble.

Solo took a deep breath, suppressing his surging blood and the depletion of half of his internal energy.

He knew he had to act quickly.

"Gareth, Brandon, each of you take a team and keep the one on the right occupied! Don't aim to kill it, just hold it off! The one in the middle, leave it to me and the rest of the brothers!"

"Commander, you..." Gareth hesitated, looking at Solo's pale face.

"Execute the order!" Solo said decisively.

He raised his warhammer again and looked at the crystal cluster stone lizard that was trying to break through the troll defenses.

The stone lizard seemed to sense the death of its companion, becoming even more ferocious. The crystal clusters on its back shone brightly, with energy faintly flowing within them, as if it were about to unleash some kind of area-of-effect attack.

We can't let it be released!

Solo pushed off with his feet and shot out like lightning.

Instead of confronting it head-on, he used his agile movements to quickly circle around the stone lizard.

The stone lizard angrily swung its claws, whipped its tail, and spat, but Solo always narrowly dodged them by the smallest of margins.

His movements carried a peculiar rhythm and anticipation, as if he could see through the stone lizard's attack trajectory in advance.

Finally, just as the stone lizard missed its target with a powerful claw strike and its body momentarily stiffened, Solo moved!

He stomped his foot on the ground and lunged upwards at an angle, his warhammer not aimed at the armor.

Instead, it precisely targeted the soft, almost crystal-covered connecting part exposed under the armpit of the stone lizard's forelimb after it was lifted up!

This time, he concentrated most of his remaining internal energy into the tip of the hammer, pursuing the ultimate penetration!

"puff!"

With a muffled thud, the warhammer pierced deep into the soft tissue under the stone lizard's armpit, as if it had pierced through tough leather!

The violent penetrating force surged wildly into the wound, directly disrupting the energy transmission and motor nerves of its forelimbs!

"Awooo—!" The stone lizard let out a mournful cry, its entire forelimb drooping down instantly, its massive body losing balance and tilting to one side.

"Attack its other forelimb and head!" Solo shouted as he landed, charging forward without hesitation and smashing his warhammer into the stone lizard's relatively vulnerable abdominal carapace exposed by its fall.

The remaining knights swarmed forward.

With its balance and one forelimb lost, the stone lizard is much less of a threat.

Under Solo's leadership and command, the knights coordinated perfectly, launching a swift and decisive attack, specifically targeting its weak points such as joints, eyes, and mouth.

On the other side, Gareth and Brandon's team, while unable to quickly kill the other stone lizard, successfully entangled it, preventing it from supporting its companions.

Five minutes later, the second crystal cluster stone lizard died under the attack.

The last remaining stone lizard, seeing this, seemed to finally feel fear. It let out a low growl and began to slowly retreat, trying to go back into the mine.
