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

[Quest Rewards: Khorne Affinity +8, Khorne Pleasure x300, Free Attribute Points +0.3!]

"Sigh, now even the great Khorne doesn't give big rewards for killing the weak."

Seeing that he only had 0.3 attribute points, Luo Xia sighed and then directly added them to his Spirit.

[Mental Health 17.517.8!]

A wave of clarity washed over him. Rorschach nodded, then raised his hands, holding Khorne's skull, without needing to speak to guide him.

Upon witnessing this iconic scene, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

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

[Khorusac skull: 10/8]

Looking at the notification in front of him, Luo Xia smiled. Had he finally saved enough for one more draw?

Thinking of this, Rorschach was also a little impatient. After putting away the Khorne skull, he turned and left.

"Khorne! Khorne!"

As the audience watched the back of the uncrowned king of the Night Owl Arena, they raised their hands and cheered, paying their respects to him.

"This kid has gotten stronger again."

Anderson's eyes were filled with deep shock as he watched Rorschach unleash his sword strike.

He could sense that Luo Xia's sword strike had completely touched the threshold of artistic conception.

That was a realm that Anderson could only dream of but never reach.

As a Grand Knight whose skills are exquisite and perfect, Anderson's strength is not weak. Even among the mid-level Grand Knights in the entire Empire, he can be considered one of the top.

But can a quasi-knight truly grasp the essence of the game?

Never heard of it, never even heard of it!

……

Inside the Night Owl Arena's private lounge, the sound of rushing water could be heard.

Luo Xia stood under the showerhead, letting the cold water wash over his body.

Taking a cold shower is something Rorschach has only recently started doing.

Because cold water keeps his nerves absolutely alert, which is part of Luo Xia's ascetic practices.

After taking a cold shower, Rorschach put on his bathrobe and instead of going up to the top floor to see Ilya and Anderson, he sat on the sofa and rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Bathe, rub your hands, burn incense, and worship the emperor."

Rorschach's movements were fluid and graceful, even though he claimed to be paying homage to the Emperor.

But Rorschach simply pulled out the Khorne skull, which was burning with blood flames, from the system space.

[Khorusac skull: 10/8]

"Khorne, don't let your chosen one down, give me some gold!"

Luo Xia roared, and with a thought, the skull in his hand instantly melted, turning into a rolling ball of blood-red flames that formed a huge blood-flame turntable in mid-air.

The turntable was densely divided into hundreds of areas, including weapons, combat techniques, bloodline blessings, and mutated organs...

"smoke!"

As Luo Xia confirmed, the Blood Flame Wheel began to spin, accompanied by roars that sounded like the wails of wronged souls.

Rorschach stared intently at the spinning wheel pointer, his heart pounding slightly.

After all, as an African chieftain, the last Emperor gacha event was still fresh in his mind.

"Please don't give me Khorne's favor, I really don't want that thing!"

As the dial pointer slowly came to a stop in an area emitting red light, Luo Xia's heart jumped into his throat.

[Ding ding ding! The great Khorne is incredulous at your luck!]

"Good lad, not bad luck! You actually drew a powerful weapon! This is the favorite toy of my Chaos Legion. Make good use of it! Use it to create the most dazzling flesh and blood fireworks for me!"

[Congratulations on obtaining: World Eater's Bomb Gun (Red)!]

Chapter 114 Adults, Times Have Changed! (Seeking monthly votes~ Thank you, meow!)

"Holy crap! It actually paid out gold!"

Luo Xia looked at the system panel in front of him, his eyes slowly brightening.

The bomb gun, as a ranged weapon of the Space Marines in the Warhammer universe, is incredibly powerful. Even those wearing terracotta power armor cannot withstand a single bomb!

"Although firearms exist in this world, their power against extraordinary individuals is relatively small..."

Luo Xia watched as the blood-flame wheel slowly dissipated, and the next moment, a heavy, blood-soaked firearm landed in Luo Xia's hand.

This explosive gun is entirely blood red, with an outrageously thick barrel. Its outer shell is covered with skulls made of various brass nails, giving it both the precision of a firearm and the ruggedness of a savage beast.

[The World Eater's Bomb Gun]

[Quality: Red]

[Introduction: The standard sidearm of a Space Marine from the World Eater Legion! Caliber is justice, range is truth!]

[Effect: Flesh and Blood Explosion: Upon impact, the bomb will explode a second time inside the target's body, ignoring the physical and psionic defenses of any supernatural being below Tier 3; it shatters upon contact!]

Ammunition: 8/8 (Every shot reduces the remaining ammunition; use them sparingly)

"Awesome..."

Luo Xia stroked the cold gun barrel, feeling its rugged mechanical beauty, his mouth stretched to his ears, and his sense of security instantly exploded!

Ignore any defense below level three!

what does this mean?

This means that even the previous Great Impermanent One, Taylor, wearing the Life Armor, would be instantly blown to pieces if hit by a single explosive bomb.

"This is the kind of thing a real man should be doing."

Luo Xia sighed, then pulled back the bolt with a click. The crisp sound of the bullet being chambered echoed in the room, like the roar of a ferocious beast.

"Eight bombs, eight lives..."

"Khorne, I absolutely love you!"

As Luo Xia stroked the blood-red explosive gun, he felt that even the emperor's favor paled in comparison.

After all, no amount of pampering can compare to the sense of security that this bomb gun provides!

Moreover, with eight bombs and eight lives, if Rorschach uses them all, he'll be able to draw another card!

"888! Khorne is truly the most generous boss ever. In the future, when I return to the gacha world, I will definitely vote for you!"

Rorschach carefully placed the bomb gun and the Khorne skull that had fallen to the ground into his system space, his heart filled with boundless pride.

Gun in hand, follow me, one shot, one kid!

"The adult era has changed."

……

The following morning, the Imperial Airfield in Adelaide was bustling with activity.

Thousands of extraordinary individuals from the entire city of Adelaide and surrounding smaller towns have gathered here.

Some of them were elite students from the Knight Academy, some were wandering knights and mercenaries who had lived on the edge of death, and others were other extraordinary individuals carrying staffs.

Regardless of their status, they were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, standing obediently in place, waiting for the airship to take them to the Black Wilderness Forest, the venue for the Winter Hunt Cup preliminary rounds.

“Rorschach, this Winter Hunting Cup is not the same as fighting in the arena.”

The Black Wilderness Forest is a harsh environment, teeming with poisonous miasma and ferocious beasts. But most importantly, one must always be wary of others; once inside the Black Wilderness Forest, do not believe anything anyone tells you.

Anderson, Clyde, and several other members of the Ironblood Legion stood beside Rorschach, carefully advising him on some important points.

Although they were all ordered by Taylor to participate in the winter hunting competition.

However, the Black Wilderness Forest is vast. Even if nearly a thousand extraordinary individuals enter it, it's like a river flowing into the sea, without causing any waves.

Some people couldn't even see a single person after the competition ended.

Their purpose in participating in the competition was to guard against the Blood God Cult causing trouble, mainly to search for any cult members or heretics who might have infiltrated the group. Naturally, they wouldn't actively seek out Rorschach.

According to Company Commander Taylor, protection is acceptable, but not too much; geniuses always need to experience some setbacks to grow.

and……

Thinking of Rorschach's strength, which far surpassed that of a quasi-knight, and the bloodshed that made Khorne's name resound throughout the northern underworld, Anderson even prayed in his heart that no one would provoke Rorschach.

After all, if the Khorne personality were to emerge, unleash its killing intent, and kill a large number of superhumans, the Church of War would have a hard time explaining itself to the Empire!

However, despite this, Anderson still offered a word of caution and reminder:

"Rorschach, if you encounter an insurmountable danger, survival is the priority. Don't be reckless. The future is yours."

"Don't worry, Anderson."

Luo Xia nodded without saying anything more. Although Luo Xia was sometimes arrogant, he always had the idea of ​​being a low-key person.

But alas, neither the great Emperor Hook nor Khorne agreed!

Then you can't blame Rorschach; he was just being instructed and is innocent.

"All participants, assemble!"

As a cold voice pierced through the noisy plaza, two wizards dressed in white robes walked over. Behind them, three steam-powered steel airships, each a hundred meters long, slowly descended. Squads of black-armored soldiers emerged from them and stood solemnly on either side of the airships.

"You all know the rules, right? During this Winter Hunting Tournament, no armor, weapons, potions, scrolls, or spatial rings are allowed on the airship."

"Don't take any chances. Hand over any prohibited items you have on you now, or you will be disqualified from the competition if discovered!"

Upon hearing the White Wizard's words, a commotion arose in the crowd, but no one stepped forward to hand over their items.

Some people genuinely didn't bring it, while others were confident they wouldn't be discovered.

"very good."

The white wizard who was in charge nodded, and then a blue magic ring appeared on his body, instantly enveloping the entire square.
