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

【Origin: Sacred Terra Imperial Treasury】

[Introduction: Thirty years, the first son returns, a centaur, a gold ring! This is proof of the emperor's favor, the highest honor!]

[Effect 1: When worn, Strength attribute +3, Spirit resistance increased by 50%.]

[Effect 2: Active Ability 'Wrath of the First Child': When facing an enemy far stronger than yourself who harbors intense killing intent towards you, you can ignite their killing intent, causing them to become enraged and attack you directly. After successfully resisting their attack, you will briefly gain the power to set the galaxy ablaze!]

"Hiss! The Wrath of the First Prince grants him the power to set the galaxy ablaze?"

Rorschach gasped, his eyelids twitching wildly.

After all, to have the power to set the galaxy ablaze, one would have to be at least an invincible idiot!

"If I had Abaddon's strength, wouldn't I just stop eating beef in this world?!"

Luo Xia was thrilled, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head.

"To withstand an attack from an enemy whose strength far surpasses your own is extremely difficult, and the risks involved are very high!"

What if Luo Xia just stands there like an idiot and gets killed in one move?

"I'm only seventeen! I don't want to die so early on the Golden Throne and become a laborer for the great Emperor's Hook!"

Rorschach was somewhat helpless, but he still put the centaur gold ring, a symbol of the emperor's favor, on the index finger of his left hand.

"Version update complete, now it's time to reap the rewards."

Rorschach twisted his neck, his bones cracking like popping beans, and then put on the damaged black Templar armor and dragon scale inner armor.

"Tsk, it is indeed a bit small, but it's still barely usable."

Feeling the armor that felt like a bodysuit on his body, Rorschach stretched for a moment, then picked up his halberd and strode out of the underground palace.

……

Outside the Frost Fortress lies the Frost Wasteland.

This place has now been completely turned into a meat grinder!

Tens of thousands of abyssal monsters, like a blue tide, frantically assaulted the defensive lines formed by the various knightly orders and mercenary groups.

Various magical lights and the knights' extraordinary spirits clashed on the battlefield, and shouts of battle and roars of beasts resounded through the sky.

Meanwhile, on the edge of the battlefield, a group of newly appointed knights, who had just completed their knightly baptism and ignited the flame of life, were also facing their first battle as knights.

"The Sacred Ivy Tree!"

Elsa let out a shout, and green light surged from the extraordinary spirit behind her. Countless vines lashed out from it, strangling and killing a group of first-tier abyssal monsters.

But there are just too many Warcraft games.

Although these geniuses from the North had just broken through to become official knights and possessed strength far exceeding their current level, it was still a drop in the ocean in this boundless battlefield of beast tides.

"There are too many! We can't possibly kill all these magical beasts!"

Elias gritted his teeth and swung his black greatsword continuously, sending out streaks of white sword energy that killed some low-level magical beasts.

Then, in despair, they watched as the cleared space was filled again by the monsters behind them.

"This is the real battlefield; even if you are a genius, you can't control the outcome of the battle."

Taylor stood behind these geniuses from the War Academy, his blood-red battle axe slashing down some of the abyssal beasts that had charged into the battle formation.

He looked at these geniuses who were struggling against the beast tide, and a smile appeared on his lips.

After all, this was exactly what Taylor had experienced, and that's why the Empire sent these newly-breakthrough geniuses to the battlefield.

This is to prevent these geniuses from becoming arrogant and conceited because of their sudden increase in strength after breaking through to a higher realm.

Therefore, the reason for including these geniuses in such a fierce battle is to encourage them to remain humble and diligent in their training.

However, having just broken through to become a formal knight, with such strength, he's basically just cannon fodder on this beast tide battlefield.

Moreover, the abyssal beasts don't care if you're a genius or not, and they won't hold back just because you're a genius of the empire.

"Has Luo Xia not finished his breakthrough yet?"

Panting, Elsa retreated to the back to catch her breath, and then asked Taylor, who was standing next to her.

"That kid..."

"Boom!"

Before Taylor could finish speaking, a black figure crashed into the battlefield.

Its powerful black life magnetic field instantly began to transform, bringing with it a mass of monster corpses.

"Here we are."

Taylor's lips twitched slightly as he watched Rorschach's pretentious entrance.

This kid really does have the same flair he had in his youth!

Upon hearing Taylor's words, the Northern geniuses immediately looked towards the spot where the dark figure had crashed.

Suddenly, a being standing two and a half meters tall, clad in black armor and wielding a halberd, appeared like a demon god descending to earth, and began his slaughter.

The halberd burning with black flames in his hand would surely take away a large number of demonic beasts with every swing.

Even a first-tier peak abyssal beast cannot last more than two rounds against this opponent.

"Has Luo Xia gone mad? Why didn't he join the battle? He charged into the beast horde all by himself!"

Elsa's beautiful eyes widened as she stared in disbelief at the tall figure, her heart filled with shock.

How come the other person has grown taller in just a few hours?

What kind of hormones did they take?

And what's with this aura emanating from the other party?

What a joke!

Aren't we breaking through to become a formal knight?

How come your aura is comparable to that of a Grand Knight, Rorschach?

"Emperor Saint Fist Rorschach, join the battle!"

Chapter 146 Born Fearless, Fighting to the End!

"Hahahaha! Too weak! Too weak!"

As Rorschach, clad in black Templar armor, crashed into the battlefield, he swung his halberd, which was wreathed in black flames.

Instantly, a black slash several meters long flew out, and wherever it passed, flames soared into the sky, and the limbs and severed parts of a large number of first-level magical beasts flew everywhere.

With just one strike, the beast horde within dozens of meters ahead was wiped out.

However, there were simply too many magical beasts in the beast tide. In just a moment, the area that Luo Xia had just cleared was quickly overtaken by the magical beasts behind it.

This area is mostly populated by first-tier magical beasts and a small number of second-tier magical beasts, which were specially released by the Knights Order for the purpose of training these Northern geniuses.

But at this moment, Rorschach joins the battle.

These first-tier magical beasts were no match for Luo Xia at all, except for the peak first-tier magical beasts, which could withstand Luo Xia's single halberd strike.

Even if the rest rushed forward, they would only be throwing their lives away.

"You guys are so weak!"

Luo Xia laughed wildly, charging rampage in front of the battle formation composed of these Northern geniuses, constantly unleashing the bloodlust that arose from his newly broken through strength.

"Watch out, Rorschach!"

Just then, Elsa, who had been watching Rorschach closely, suddenly looked tense and let out a sharp cry.

Because of Luo Xia's unparalleled killing spree, he finally attracted the attention of some second-tier magical beasts.

A Tier 2 beginner-level Armored Beast opened its blood-red maw in Luo Xia's direction, and a thick, frosty breath immediately attacked Luo Xia.

But Elsa didn't need to remind her at all.

Rorschach, who had been maintaining his life magnetic field and spiritual senses, had already sensed this scene.

"Humph!"

Luo Xia merely snorted coldly, making no attempt to dodge, and instead bit his tongue hard, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Blood Armor activated!

Using his own blood as a seed and his life magnetic field as a guide, the monster's corpse, killed by Luo Xia, began to shrivel up in an instant.

The blood drawn by the life magnetic field immediately began to converge towards Luo Xia.

In just a moment, a set of dark red, ferocious blood armor quickly formed on Luo Xia's body.

"boom!"

The frost breath struck Luo Xia instantly, causing ice shards to fly everywhere and white mist to fill the air.

All the Northern geniuses stared wide-eyed, not understanding why Rorschach didn't dodge.

That's a frost breath powerful enough to kill a high-ranking knight!

Even if you, Rorschach, can kill a peak second-tier frost giant, you shouldn't be so arrogant as to take the attack of a second-tier magical beast head-on!

But as the icy mist dissipated, Luo Xia remained standing in the same spot, his blood armor completely undamaged.

"Is that all you've got? That attack was a waste."

Luo Xia merely sneered, stretched his body, and shook off the frost from the blood armor.

Then, he vanished from the spot in an instant.

"Such strong defense, such fast speed!"

Elias's pupils shrank upon seeing this scene. After witnessing Rorschach's strength, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

Can he really defeat such an opponent?

"Die!"

When Rorschach reappeared, he was already above the head of the armored beast.

The halberd, burning with black flames, slashed down fiercely, instantly cleaving open the toughest part of the Armored Beast's back armor!
