Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Valentina said, and immediately tore the parchment. Bang! She was surrounded by light bursting out from the parchment, and then disappeared without a trace.

After confirming that she had completely disappeared, Cardan unfolded the parchment without hesitation and tore it into pieces. Swish! A flash of light engulfed Cardan, and when he opened his eyes again, an unfamiliar landscape appeared before his eyes.

"Ice cave...it seems this is not an underground city." There is a huge hole somewhere on the huge mountain made of ice.

Faced with this rare sight, Cardin lost himself for a moment and looked around.

"What a romantic place." The icebergs and snow-covered ground make it feel like winter has arrived.

"Kadan! What are you doing there? Come over here!" At this time, the instructor's voice came from inside the cave, and Cardan naturally turned his gaze there.

At some point, Valentina had changed her clothes and put on a thick coat.

"Oh, okay." Cardin immediately walked towards Valentina.

"Here, put this on." Valentina handed Cardin a coat similar to the one she was wearing.

"This is a magical dress. You won't feel too cold when you wear it."

"Thank you." This seemingly heavy piece of clothing does not make people feel heavy when put on, nor does it hinder movements.

"Luckily the clothes fit me well. Well, before we go in, let me explain a few things to you." Valentina said with a smile as she looked at Cardin putting on his coat.

"Frost trolls are stupid and violent. They are incredibly strong, and are known to have extraordinary regenerative abilities."

Cardan also knew a lot about trolls. He had been reading the monster encyclopedia made by Charlotte since he was a child, so the information about most monsters was naturally stored in his mind.

"If you think it's dangerous, you can kill it. Although the purpose of our trip is to capture it alive, nothing is more important than our lives, right?"

"Yes, I understand."

"Of course, you won't have the chance to act alone. I will always be by your side." The ice cave where the frost trolls live is more like their habitat than a "dungeon".

"If we accidentally get separated, don't try to fight alone. Run away if you see a troll." Frost trolls require at least 5 stars to hunt. At least 5 people with 4 stars are required to hunt safely.

"Yes, I will run away." Even if Cardan is 5 stars, facing the frost troll alone is a rather difficult task.

Moreover, if there was more than one frost troll, he would have to go through several dangerous moments. Therefore, Cardan had no intention of acting alone in this dangerous place.

"What a pity. The corpse of the Frost Troll would be a very good material." It's a pity that we can't get the corpse of the troll here because we are here to capture rather than hunt.

He also had no intention of creating a dangerous situation in order to obtain the body.

"If more than two trolls appear, leave one behind and lure the others away. Just use the undead to lure them away safely."

"Yes, I understand."

"If only one appears, you just need to be alert around it. Capturing it is my job." After explaining a few precautions, Valentina pointed inside the cave.

"Well, let's go?" "Okay." Following Cardin's answer, the two slowly walked into the cave.

About 4 hours after entering the ice cave, Valentina planned to capture 8 trolls in total. So far, the two have captured 3 of them.

"So this is how capture works." Cardin sighed in his heart as he watched Valentina capture monsters.

Capture magic was a completely new kind of magic for Cardan. A small magic circle that Cardan could not decipher appeared around the troll, ejecting orange chains that trapped the troll.

When the troll was completely trapped, a huge magic circle appeared in front of the troll, and the rope tied to the troll pushed the troll into the magic circle.

This is how the summoner captures monsters. Although her capture magic looks simple, it is definitely not simple magic.

The magic circle she created was created in a way that ordinary magicians could not understand. Moreover, the void space used to store the captured monsters was different from the void space that Cardin knew so far.

"Cardan, do you see those two in front?" While Cardin was organizing his thoughts, Valentina, who was walking in front, squatted down and pointed somewhere.

Looking over there, two trolls with blue skin were wandering leisurely in the cave.

"I'll lure one away like I did just now."

"Got it." As she said, helping her wasn't a difficult or dangerous thing to do. All I had to do was secretly summon a skeleton soldier and use it to lure the troll.

"Hmm?" Cardin, who was about to summon a skeleton, suddenly stopped at Valentina's wrist.

“Tattoo?” There seemed to be a tattoo-like pattern engraved on her wrist. Although she was wearing heavy clothes, when she pointed at the troll with her finger, her wrist was naturally exposed, and Cardin saw her wrist at that moment.

"I think I've seen something similar somewhere..." Cardin suddenly thought of something and fell into deep thought.

"The person who stole the necklace that Instructor Belid was looking for also had a similar tattoo?" Although the location and shape were different, for some reason, Cardin felt that the tattoo on Valentina's wrist was similar to the tattoo of the person who stole the necklace and killed Instructor Belid's colleague.

"The guy who stole the necklace had an octopus-shaped tattoo, and the instructor's tattoo is... a wild boar?" Cardin was stunned for a moment, and Valentina widened her eyes and looked at him with a "what are you doing" look.

"Kadan? What's wrong?" Although it was only a moment, it gave people a sharp feeling. Of course, now is not the time to suddenly ask her about her tattoo.

Cardin came to his senses, shook his head, and slowly stood up from the ground.

"nothing."
