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

As Rorschach watched the love-hate relationship between the Emperor and Khorne, a smile crept onto his lips. He raised his halberd and stared intently at the abyssal orcs that were surging towards him like a black tsunami.

"What a sinful color! Only the magnificent green is the true tooth and fang of beasts!"

Luo Xia roared and charged into the fray alone. His massive body, like a dark red cannonball, crashed into the demonic tide of the Abyss Black Orcs.

Endless black flames burned, and the earthen-yellow life magnetic field began to rotate. As the battle halberd in his hand was wildly swung, countless black flame slashes flew out from the halberd, taking the lives of one abyssal black orc after another.

"Wow, this is the thrill of battle! Waaagh!"

"This kid is still incredibly arrogant. He dares to charge into so many Abyss Black Orcs all by himself. He really doesn't know the meaning of death."

Above the War God Realm, Taylor stood with his hands behind his back, his face full of anticipation for a good show.

He watched as Luo Xia, wielding his battle halberd, charged through the ranks of hundreds of Abyss Black Orcs, smiled, but then shook his head helplessly.

What a reckless fool.

But this is for the best; only by experiencing death can one truly understand the preciousness of life.

Luo Xia wielded the 'Battle Abyss' with great force, and any enemy who came within three feet of him was cut down as easily as grass by the black flames that flew out from his blades.

And with each Abyss Black Orc that fell, an incredibly joyful sound would echo in Rorschach's mind.

[Ding! Khorne has been defeated. Khorne's Pleasure Value +1]

[Ding! Judgment of the Great Demon Khorne, Imperial Honor Points +1]

"Hahaha, this is awesome! This is the real Dynasty Warriors!"

Luo Xia laughed loudly, feeling as if he were playing a hacked version of a game. He was unleashing his full power and mowing down enemies with an incredibly high drop rate.

But just as Rorschach was having a great time killing, a group of orcs appeared, who were significantly taller than the other Abyss Black Orcs, and whose bodies were covered in blood-red markings.

"Roar!"

A ferocious roar erupted from the mouths of these blood-patterned orcs, and then rusty giant axes, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, came crashing down on Luo Xia.

"Good timing!"

Upon seeing this, Luo Xia's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he swung out the 88-pound 'Battle Abyss' in his hand, which was burning with endless black flames.

The first move of the Mad Abyss Halberd: Abyss Rift!

boom!

The halberd and the giant axe collided with a deafening roar, sending sparks flying.

"not good."

"This Blood-Striped Beastman's strength is not much weaker than mine."

Feeling the power from the giant axe, Luo Xia was startled. He felt a numbness in his arms, and his tiger's mouth instantly split open.

Seeing this, Rorschach wanted to retreat quickly, but it was too late.

He was completely engulfed by the endless abyssal black orcs all around him, leaving Rorschach with only the ability to barely hold on.

As a blood-patterned orc leader, over three meters tall, leaped high into the air, its blood-stained hammer slammed down.

A powerful, dark red energy completely engulfed Luo Xia.

[Having endured the extreme suffering brought by the Great Emperor's Hook, Free Attribute Points +0.3, Emperor Honor Points +100!]

The last notification sound rang in Luo Xia's mind, and then everything went black before his eyes, and he lost consciousness.

……

"hiss."

Luo Xia suddenly opened his eyes, panting heavily. He touched his head and found that it hadn't been crushed.

Looking around, I realized that I had returned to the starting point when I first entered the War God Realm.

"Did I die and get a rollback?"

Luo Xia pondered, but suddenly felt an indescribable heaviness deep within his mind, and his body felt incredibly weak.

This feeling is like having stayed up for three days and three nights straight without stopping. My temples are throbbing, as if I'm about to die suddenly.

"Is this the price of dying in the War God Realm?"

Luo Xia rubbed his temples and shook his head violently before feeling much more awake.

"How does it feel? Death isn't a pleasant experience, is it?"

Taylor's body slowly descended from mid-air. He looked at Luo Xia's face, which was flushed from excessive indulgence, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

The humiliation of the first death in the War God Realm is a part that every knight must experience.

"My head feels like it's filled with lead."

Luo Xia closed his eyes and circulated his breathing technique, which made his heavy body feel much lighter, but the heaviness in his mind did not diminish at all.

"The War God Realm connects to a corner of the Spirit Realm. Here, although your physical body is simulated, your soul is real."

Taylor's smile faded, his expression turned serious, and he explained to Rorschach:

"Therefore, every time you die here, it will greatly deplete your own soul power, that is, your spiritual power."

"Because the War God Realm projects the marks of a real battlefield, every time you are resurrected, your soul will be eroded by the battlefield's malevolent energy, becoming extremely heavy."

"And when your soul power can no longer bear this weight, you will be forcibly kicked out of the War God Domain."

As he spoke, Taylor pointed to the list in the sky and patted Rorschach on the shoulder, warning him:

"To make a name for yourself on the leaderboard, you don't need to mindlessly die, but rather to survive longer and kill more on the battlefield."

"Use your brain, kid."

"A true war knight is not just a brute with muscles, but someone who can truly influence a war..."

After saying that, Taylor waved his hand, and his body faded away again, disappearing from the spot.

Meanwhile, Luo Xia felt his body solidify. In an instant, the abyssal monsters that were fighting with the other knights all turned their attention to Luo Xia and attacked him.

“Teacher Taylor, you don’t understand what true talent is at all.”

Rorschach looked at the Nurgle skill on the system panel and a slow smile crept onto his lips.

No pain, no gain (lv3)

Current progress (5/30)

Rorschach had been racking his brains lately about how to endure hardship, since the definition of enduring hardship increased with each level of the Nurgle God Technique.

Now, in the Emperor's black workshop, the grueling all-night blacksmithing and the practice of breathing techniques are no longer considered hardship.

This has made Luo Xia feel like the sky is falling lately. After all, is there anything in the world more miserable than working the night shift and doing illegal work?

But now Rorschach knows.

death.

Perhaps death is true liberation, but the process of dying, the torment and suffering it inflicts on the soul and body, is the greatest suffering.

"Spirit +0.3".

[Mental Health 13.914.2!]

"Phew, that feels great! This is the power of hard work and sweat."

As a cold current rushed into Luo Xia's mind, all the heaviness disappeared, leaving only true refreshment!

"Come and fight! Come and fight!"

Luo Xia shouted again and attacked as if he had unleashed his full power. As for Taylor's suggestion to use his brain, Luo Xia naturally did not take it to heart.

After all, Luo Xia wasn't in a hurry to climb the rankings right now; all he wanted to do was fight, fight, fight, kill!

Unleash your bloodlust completely!

Taylor, watching the battle from the void, shook his head helplessly as he saw Rorschach still mowing down enemies like a brute.

But what happened next shocked Taylor beyond belief, and she even wondered if Rorschach had lost his mind.

After all, this kid wasn't afraid of being surrounded or attacked by someone stronger than himself. Instead, he became even more excited and went forward to fight the other party, only to be kicked to death.

Rorschach went in, Rorschach died, Rorschach went in again, Rorschach died again...

Under Taylor's astonished gaze, Rorschach was like an unkillable cockroach, charging into the abyssal demonic tide time and time again, only to die each time.

Most importantly, after each death and resurrection, this kid was not so severely affected that his soul became weak and heavy, thus avoiding being ruthlessly kicked out of the War God Domain.

Taylor even felt that the kid was getting more and more energetic as the fight went on!

What the hell is going on?!

[Nurgle's Chosen: Tsk, kid, you really like my position that much? You seem to enjoy hardship so much, do you have some kind of special ability?]

"You're the masochist! Your whole family are masochists!"

Rorschach looked at the Nurgle artifact that he had completed, feeling incredibly satisfied.

But when he saw a comment from an unknown chosen one of Nurgle, he was furious. How could this person be swearing?!

"Looks like they're panicking, knowing their position is in jeopardy."

Luo Xia shook his head, feeling the heaviness in his soul, and knew that he had completely reached his limit.

Rorschach has lost count of how many times he has died.

All he knew was that the heaviness of his soul would grow stronger with each death, and even hard work and sweat could not completely erase it.
