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

Gwen asked tentatively. She had been worried for a long time after hearing Taylor's description of how serious it was yesterday, so she came early today to check on Rorschach's condition.

But at this moment, looking at Luo Xia in front of him, his face was rosy and his eyes were shining. He was more energetic than if he had taken a super tonic!

Auditory hallucination? Did you see something strange?

Does seeing the Emperor's Golden Hook count?

Rorschach's lips twitched slightly, then he shook his head, picked up the black bread and water, and said:

"What could possibly happen? I feel so good I could kill a cow!"

"If there's anything wrong with you, you have to tell me."

Hearing Rorschach's confirmation, Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, I, Rorschach, am invincible!"

After finishing his black bread and drinking water, Luo Xia wiped his hands and headed straight for the training room.

He then took out a bottle of life potion from the system space, arranged the deep-sea magic crystal, and slowly sat cross-legged, his earth-yellow life magnetic field rapidly unfolding.

"Earth Dragon Breathing Technique" - Unleash your power!

……

Adelaide City, Night Owl Arena.

As night falls, the Night Owl Arena is already incredibly lively.

There were even more spectators today than yesterday.

This is because tonight is the start of the second Korner Cup match.

Wearing a black trench coat and the brass demon mask, Rorschach skillfully took the steam elevator to the luxurious suite on the top floor.

"Oh my, who is this? Our renowned Deacon Luo Xia has actually deigned to come to my humble Night Owl Arena. It truly brings honor to my place."

As soon as Luo Xia entered, before he could even sit down, the sharp-tongued little girl started teasing him.

"What does it mean?"

Luo Xia sat on the sofa opposite Ilya, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the little girl in her blue dress.

Good quality.

"Hmph! I thought that Lord Rorschach would look down on this little place after becoming a deacon."

"After all, having combat nuns accompany you on your travels is such a high-class experience that most people don't get to enjoy it."

Ilya pouted, her expression quite resentful.

"Knowing it's a small place, why aren't you expanding?"

"With my current strength, most quasi-knights are no match for me. Smashing weaker opponents is no fun, is it?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia nodded in agreement. If it weren't for completing the mission, he really wouldn't want to bully the weak!

"you!"

Upon hearing Rorschach's unromantic remark, Ilya nearly choked on her breath.

What do you mean? Can't you understand the subtext of my words?

"Hmph, I hope your strength is as impressive as your tough talk."

Ilya hummed a few times, then waved her hand, and the scarred man beside her immediately handed a list to Rorschach.

"Those who came tonight are all aspiring knights, and there is even one full-fledged knight."

Ilya's lips curled into a smile as she stared at Rorschach and slowly said:

"I just don't know if you dare to fight this official knight?"

Chapter 89: Despair-Inducing Power (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets, thank you meow!!!)

"Hehe, the word 'dare' doesn't exist in my dictionary."

Upon hearing Ilya's words, Rorschach's eyes lit up. They were all quasi-knights, and there was even one full-fledged knight!

It seems that tonight, we can complete a sacrifice to the Blood God.

"But, there are actually official knights fighting in underground boxing matches?"

Luo Xia was also somewhat puzzled at this moment, after all, that was a formal knight, a true powerhouse who had crossed from an ordinary person to an extraordinary one!

Such a powerful individual could easily hunt down a few abyssal monsters and gain as much as Luo Xia from dozens of underground boxing matches.

"Don't overvalue official knights. They are human too, and human beings need money."

Upon hearing Rorschach's words, Ilya's lips curled into a mocking smile, and she explained to Rorschach:

"Since you are in the War Academy, you naturally wouldn't know the hardships these wandering knights face in the outside world."

"Some of them were lucky enough to become knights with rudimentary breathing techniques, while others were from impoverished knight families who possessed superior breathing techniques..."

"These people are weak and can only take on missions from the church and the empire to supplement their income. As for going into the abyss world or the fallen territories to hunt monsters?"

"Without a knightly order or teammates, daring to hunt monsters alone is simply suicide."

As Ilya spoke, she tore open a pink lollipop, licked it carefully, and then looked at Rorschach, smiling meaningfully as she said:

“Little Rorschach, not everyone has such a strong desire to kill and the courage to do so.”

Upon hearing Ilya's explanation, Rorschach fell silent.

It seems he oversimplified things; even if one becomes extraordinary, one still cannot escape the constraints of the mortal world.

"Without the patronage of the great Emperor Hook, I might be in the same situation now, right?"

Thinking this, Rorschach stood up and calmly said:

"Arrange the matches, thirteen matches."

"If that official knight is prepared to die, then let him go on stage."

With that, Luo Xia slowly turned around and walked towards the preparation area.

"Boss...do we really have to agree to their bet?"

The scarred man standing to the side looked somewhat nervous, also wanting to confirm whether they were following Luo Xia's instructions.

"What an arrogant little brat."

Ilya licked her lips and smiled—a genuine smile of deep admiration for someone.

"Make arrangements to convey our message of Khorne to that official knight."

"After all, this is an underground boxing ring, and there are no laws against killing superhumans without cause..."

……

Khorne!

Khorne!

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

When Luo Xia's familiar figure appeared in the preparation area, a deafening roar of enthusiastic shouts erupted.

"Heh, this Khorne really has a reputation in the Night Owl Arena."

In the audience, two men, their entire bodies covered in black robes, watched this scene with utter indifference.

"What did they say from the arena?"

One of the men in black robes asked in a low voice.

"They've already agreed to our challenge. This Night Owl Arena is really arrogant, daring to let a quasi-knight fight against a full-fledged knight. They really don't know what death means."

Another man in black robes sneered, seemingly quite surprised that Night Owl Arena had accepted their challenge.

"That's normal. After all, the Luo Lan family really wants to use this Khorne Cup to open up the sales channels of the entire Northern Underworld."

“But sometimes taking big steps can be very dangerous. Tonight might be our chance to engulf the Adelaide underworld…”

……

"ladies and gentlemen!"

"Welcome to the Khorne Cup's night of revelry!"

As the arena host's voice echoed throughout the arena, the carnival of the Night Owl Arena began.

"Tonight, our Night Owl Arena's uncrowned king, 'Khorne,' will face twelve powerful quasi-knights and one true extraordinary knight all by himself!"

"Thirteen consecutive battles! A fight to the death!"

"Now, let's place our bets!"

Upon hearing the arena host's opening remarks, the atmosphere inside the arena was completely ignited, with countless gamblers waving their banknotes and roaring as they placed their bets.

Some bet on Khorne, while others bet on the other aspiring knights and the extraordinary knight.

But in any case, the outcome of this battle was already decided the moment Rorschach stepped onto the fighting stage with his greatsword.

As the Emperor's Holy Fist, he will not be defeated.

"Now, please welcome our first challenger! Marcus the 'Rock' from Topsos!"

As the host finished speaking, the iron gate opposite opened, and a bald, burly man wearing a golden wolf mask, carrying a spiked club, slowly walked onto the stage.

"Such heretical attire."

Luo Xia's gaze turned cold as he looked at the bald, muscular man.

Is a quasi-knight who uses earth-attribute breathing techniques primarily skilled in defense?

With just one glance, Luo Xia saw through the other party's true nature. The reason was simply that Luo Xia had recently been practicing the Earth Desolate Dragon Breathing Technique and was extremely familiar with this life magnetic field.

"Kid, you're really famous, so famous it makes me feel disgusted."

Marcus's voice was icy, carrying an unparalleled killing intent. He was extremely jealous. Why was there such a huge difference in their status when they were both quasi-knights?

Khorne is just standing here and people are cheering for him and betting on him, while he...

Nobody knows me!
