He promised to become a knight, but what the heck is Astartes?

At this moment, it lowered its head in disbelief. A black line appeared on the icy blue core on its chest, instantly devouring all the life force within it.

"Damn...humans..."

The light in its eyes quickly faded and dimmed. The frost giant's body was split in two from its core, and its upper body crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of snow mist.

Thus, the peak second-tier frost giant was completely destroyed and returned to the Golden Throne.

"boom!"

With the death of the Frost Giant, an unimaginably vast spiritual energy surged wildly into Rorschach's body.

Pure, infinitely pure and immense spirituality was poured into the spark of life.

Even the spiritual energy that had become incredibly violent after the spirituality disappeared trembled with satisfaction within this immense and pure spirituality.

The life-fire seed, infused with a large amount of pure spiritual energy, expanded completely and even began to emit an incomparably dazzling radiance!

The fuel is ready; all that's left is to ignite it!

"Whew...that felt good!"

Although Luo Xia was extremely exhausted at this moment, his eyes were incredibly bright.

As expected of an elemental being, this purest spirituality directly filled his life force and spiritual energy!

"Artistic conception... Luo Xia's sword strike just now was artistic conception!"

"He actually did it!"

"I, Taylor, am witnessing the birth of history!"

Taylor was completely dumbfounded. He looked at the huge frost giant's corpse that had been split in two, and then at Rorschach, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing spiritual energy.

I feel that this mission to protect the Abyss was absolutely worth it!

To witness such a scene, even dying in the abyss would be worth it!

"A seventeen-year-old formal knight, possessing powerful spells capable of killing peak second-tier warriors, and having also comprehended the essence of magic..."

With such power, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a child of a god!

"Could it be that I, Taylor, am about to train a god!"

Chapter 141 The King Returns, All Eyes Are On!

"Hahaha, good lad!"

"You actually did it, Rorschach! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even if there were rumors outside that you could kill a peak level two Frost Giant while you were only a quasi-knight, who would believe it!"

Taylor walked over to Rorschach and helped him up, who was already quite exhausted. He was also extremely excited.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Taylor. Let's collect the spoils first. It's getting late, we need to hurry back."

But Rorschach just grinned, his heart unmoved.

Although this battle can be said to be the most difficult and powerful opponent that Luo Xia has faced since his debut.

But to be honest, the pressure that the Frost Giant exerted on Rorschach was less than a tenth of what it was when Abaddon appeared.

Therefore, for Luo Xia, successfully killing his opponent was just a small step on the road to his great goal.

After all, from the moment he was born, Rorschach was destined to become a being who could shake the galaxy!

"Good good!"

Upon hearing this, Taylor nodded repeatedly and quickly began harvesting the spoils from the Frost Giant.

Rorschach then took out the skull of Khorne and began to chant:

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull offering to the skull seat!"

[Khorusac skull: 10/8]

Luo Xia looked at the panel in front of him, a smile appearing on his lips.

Including this peak second-tier frost giant, Luo Xia also killed three second-tier abyssal monsters deep in the extreme cold forest.

So after all the sacrifices were made, he was finally able to draw from the Khorne Wheel once more.

This filled Luo Xia with anticipation.

After all, the last time he drew a weapon of mass destruction, the World Devourer Bomb Gun, he directly drew one.

"I wonder what I'll get this time. I just hope it's not Khorne's Favor."

Rorschach put away the Khorne skull, not intending to use it now.

For such a major event as drawing cards, it's best to first bathe and burn incense, and then pray to the Emperor's Hook.

Otherwise, the probability of getting the money out would be very low.

As an elemental species, this frost giant didn't have anything valuable on it, except for its head, which showcased Rorschach's courage and strength.

Only that one peak-level second-tier Frost Core is worth a bit of money.

Although Rorschach cut it in two with a single sword strike, its value was still enough to make the great knights fight tooth and nail for it.

If you meet the right person, the value can even double.

"I only need your head; you can have this second-tier Frost Core, teacher."

Rorschach simply took the head of the Frost Giant from Taylor's hand; he had no intention of taking the Frost Core.

Luo Xia has no use for this at the moment, unless he has an ice-attribute breathing technique, in which case he can use the Frost Core to practice his breathing technique.

By giving it to Taylor, Rorschach was essentially returning the favor.

After all, the value of this second-tier peak Frost Core is far less than that of the Life Source Artifact 'Battle Abyss' that Taylor gave away back then.

"You little rascal, I'll take it for you for now, and I'll hand it over to you once I find a buyer."

Hearing Rorschach's words, Taylor was naturally delighted; one could only say that Taylor had a sharp eye.

I was absolutely right about him!

It should be noted that when Luo Xia first signed the A-level war contract, the instructor assigned to him by the Church of War was just an ordinary high-ranking Grand Knight.

It was Taylor's performance when he met Rorschach that made him realize he had been staying in Adelaide City before breaking through to become an Earth Knight, which led him to choose to guide Rorschach.

Otherwise, how could someone who has grasped the essence of the art and is poised to become a knight of the earth have the leisure to instruct a knight's squire?

"Looks like I need to work harder too, otherwise, once Luo Xia wins the top three in the Eighth Academy Freshman Competition and his War Contract level is raised to S-rank, the Earth Knight will be the next instructor..."

On the way back to the fortress with Rorschach, Taylor was also lost in thought.

After all, he had only been guiding Luo Xia for two months, and although there was affection between them, it wasn't very strong.

Taylor was genuinely worried that Rorschach would forget about him after meeting Earth Knight.

"Although the teacher will eventually accept Luo Xia as his disciple, and I will naturally become his senior brother, it would be even better if I could also become his mentor!"

"Even after Rorschach becomes a knight this time, we can directly offer him a price to join the Ironblood Legion, and have him form a knight squad with Anderson and the others to carry out missions."

This gives him three roles: group leader, instructor, and senior student!

"Hehe, when Rorschach takes off and becomes a titled knight, I guarantee I'll be the first to rise to the top with him!"

Although everyone says that the Knights are roughnecks and brutes, Taylor at this moment has his own little schemes.

After all, Taylor had witnessed Rorschach's talent and strength firsthand.

Therefore, it is natural for them to want to increase their investment in Rorschach.

Taylor even thought to himself that with Rorschach's rate of growth, it wouldn't be long before he would skip a grade and enter the Empire's top university.

At that time, both Taylor and everyone else around Rorschach will receive unimaginable benefits.

"An academy is an academy, and a university is a university. Anyone who can truly pass the imperial examination and enter a university will at least become a titled knight in the future."

Taylor's eyes also held longing. Although he had graduated from the academy a long time ago, as long as he was under thirty-five, he still had the opportunity to participate in the Imperial Examination.

If one can pass this test, then one is truly a hidden dragon in the abyss, about to soar into the sky.

"Sigh, I was dreaming. I'll focus on becoming a peak Grand Knight first. Last time, even with the Life Armor, I couldn't even beat a Blood Knight. It was so embarrassing."

"Hmph! Red Skull... you better not let me find out where you are!"

……

Frost Fortress, Blackrock Square.

The eight-day hunting season is about to end, and aspiring knights are beginning to return one after another.

Some people returned with a full load of goods, their spirits high and their expressions brimming with confidence.

Some people, though seriously injured, looked incredibly fortunate, their eyes filled with a deep longing.

But many more people were indeed left forever in this icy wasteland.

This is the path of a knight; without talent and luck, climbing to the top is naturally fraught with difficulties.

"Young Master Rockwell actually hunted down a Tier 2 beginner-level Ice Armored Rhinoceros! Commander Renault immediately awarded him 1,000 points!"

"As expected of the son of Duke Winter, such strength is something even the Duke himself couldn't match in his youth."

"It seems that the strongest quasi-knight set up by Commander Renault this time has been directly defeated by young master Rockwell, right?"

"Then the second place should be Elsa, the daughter of the Violet Knights. She has a Tier 2 beginner-level Ice Swamp Dragon Lizard. Although it can't compare to the Ice Armor Rhinoceros, it is still a dragon vein sub-dragon. Nine hundred points directly locks her in second place!"

"Gale, Ryan, Sophia... Tsk tsk, as expected of geniuses from the War Academy, they can even defeat a first-tier peak dragon vein monster with the rank of quasi-knight!"

"Sigh, I'm so envious! How come our prospective knights are so different from those genius prospective knights!"

"Of course, there are differences even among quasi-knights!"

At this moment, the massive baptismal array on Black Rock Square has been activated. The prospective knights are gathered in twos and threes, discussing the genius prospective knights in this knight baptism.

Commander Renault, who was stationed at Frost Fortress, even created a leaderboard, ranking the aspiring knights based on the strongest magical beasts they hunted.

If you make it into the top ten, you'll receive a small gift from Renault.

After all, geniuses are always interested in investing.

"Hmph! Luo Xia hasn't returned yet. It seems he's afraid of me. I risked my life to hunt this Ice Swamp Dragon Lizard. Let's see how you beat me!"

At this moment, Elsa was in a terrible state. Her silver armor was completely shattered, and even her clothes were torn to shreds, revealing a large expanse of white skin. Her face was covered in dust and sweat.
