Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chirp? Aaaaaa!? Then, the goblin screamed in fear as if he had discovered something.

When he opened his eyes, he saw orc-like skeleton soldiers around him, fighting with goblins.

"Skeleton soldiers? Could it be Miss Esther? No, no. We should let her run away. Run away..."

Anthony struggled to open his eyes and looked around to find the owner of the skeleton soldier. It was difficult to turn his head.

"Please stay still. Please don't move." Just then, a strange voice came over. A deep and cold voice. There was no hostility in that voice, only worry.

"What on earth happened?" The owner of the voice came over and looked at Anthony.

"...Is it a necromancer?" He said this with difficulty, and the masked man nodded slowly.

"Yes, that's right."

"Huh... Then, I have only one request." Anthony stared blankly at the sky. The sounds of fierce battles between skeleton soldiers and goblins could be heard around him, but his face was surprisingly calm.

"Do you have a request?" Cardin asked the masked man, trying his best to hide the bitterness in his heart. Then Anthony answered with a difficult smile.

"If I die, please revive me. Even if I become an undead creature, I can be a death knight or your sword."

There was immeasurable anger in his weak voice.

"You are a knight. If I turn you into an undead creature, your honor will be erased." As we all know, knights live for honor and die for honor.

"As long as I can kill that guy, I don't need the reputation of any living person."

A knight from one of the kingdom's highest orders was now ready to give up that honor. Why? How could this be possible?

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because I am the one in charge. As a knight, I must be responsible to the end, even if it means death." Every word was filled with an urgent desire. That voice could not be ignored.

"please."

"... ....I understand." Cardan answered with a bitter voice. The only person who can fulfill his wish is Cardan.

"If possible..." Anthony raised his arms with difficulty.

".... ....I wish it was like that." Then he pointed his index finger at something.

In the direction he pointed, there was a death knight slaughtering a large goblin. Cardan nodded and looked at Anthony again.

".... ..." No more sound came. His chest, which had been rising and falling with difficulty, also stopped moving.

"You've been working hard, Sir Anthony." His unfocused eyes stared into space, and Cardin carefully closed them with his hands.

"No one will think your death is tragic." Then Cardin began to gather magic power in his hands.

"Great Being... ....defy death." The same spell flowed from his mouth when he summoned Karok.

Fire! Cardan's magic power began to be rapidly absorbed by Anthony's body.

Hiss! Soon, Anthony's body began to burn. The green flames, which seemed to devour everything, burned more fiercely than ever before, covering Anthony's body.

Soon, Anthony slowly stood up in the flames. The blazing green flames showed no signs of fading.

"Greetings, my Lord." The knight wielding green flames knelt on one knee like a sworn knight and handed the sword to Cardan with both hands.

The sword that once shone with golden light now turned black with green flames. Cardin was shocked when he saw it.

"How powerful was this person when he was alive?" The flames emanating from the Death Knight's body and weapons represent how powerful he was when he was alive.

Most of them, like the orc death knight Karok, only leave a little flame on their armor and weapons. Moreover, a death knight without any flame is almost a failure.

However, Anthony, no, the Death Knight in front of him was still burning with green flames. It seemed that it would never go out, maintaining that kind of firepower.

"Please accept me as your knight. I will be loyal to you." While Cardan was stunned, the Death Knight spoke again.

Cardan nodded, and with a swish, he grabbed the black sword he had extended. Although he was surrounded by green flames, he didn't feel hot at all.

All Cardan could feel was a strong breath of death. Cardan slowly raised his sword and tapped the Death Knight's head, shoulders, and cheeks with the blade.

"Only I can lead you to eternal death. Do not be afraid of death." Cardan returned the sword to the Death Knight again. The Death Knight then bowed his head and answered.

"I will become death and darkness for you. I will guard death and despise the living."
