Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

The corners of her mouth trembled slightly when she smiled, and she closed her eyes stiffly. Seeing the unhidden signs of uneasiness in her, Cardin detected her lie.

"Since returning to Trafalgar, she hasn't eaten properly for a few days, and I saw her crying secretly a few times."

"It must be very hard. Going through something like that." Even if they are students of the Hero Academy, they are still human beings after all. Facing extreme fear and thinking about death, the mental impact must be huge.

"The mental shock will not heal with just half a month of rest." Physical wounds will heal, but spiritual wounds will not heal so easily.

Cardan sighed softly and looked at Isaac again. Isaac also smiled bitterly. There were only two necromancers in the academy. One of them was involved in the incident, so it was natural to worry.

"Great report, thanks, Cardin." Can't worry all the time.

In order to fulfill his duties as a professor, Isaac walked to the podium and smiled kindly.

"Well, shall we start the class now?" Isaac, standing on the podium, looked at Cardin and continued.

"During the break, I studied and practiced the combat methods of a four-star necromancer. Starting today, we will learn the combat methods of a five-star necromancer."

Although he still seemed to be worried about Esther, he tried his best to put aside his emotions and concentrate on being a professor.

"I have emphasized the Necromancer's method of survival. Can you tell me?"

“Find the highest efficiency at your current level.”

"So what kind of efficiency should I look for after becoming a five-star necromancer?"

"Don't worry too much about low-level undead creatures." The way for the weak necromancer taught by Isaac to survive is to pay attention to low-level undead creatures.

It is necessary to examine the talents of the skeletons one by one and select the elite ones. This is what Isaac has taught so far.

Indeed, Isaac's teachings were very helpful. If a lot of skeleton soldiers were summoned, the necromancer would not be able to command so many skeletons alone, and the mana consumption would also be very serious.

However, if the number of skeleton soldiers is reduced and only the elite are selected to command, both physical and mental fatigue will be reduced.

"Yes. Can you tell me why you don't care much about low-level undead creatures?"

"Because it can summon a Death Knight." Cardan answered without hesitation. Only someone who already knew the answer could be calm. Cardan remained calm and continued to answer.

"The Death Knight will become the commander, commanding the Undead Legion."

"As expected, the basic knowledge is solid. Yes, after becoming a five-star, you can summon a Death Knight. The Death Knight will do what Cardan has done so far." Cardan seemed very satisfied with his answer, and a sincere smile appeared on Isaac's face.

Cardin nodded, waiting for Isaac's next words.

"A Death Knight is not only personally capable, but he shines when he leads a legion." One of the requirements to become a Death Knight is leadership.

That is, only those who had experience or talent in leading a group of people can be resurrected as a Death Knight. Just look at Cardan's two Death Knights.

Carlock, the orc warrior who once led the orc army. Anthony, the seven-star knight who once led knights and soldiers in the Knights of Colinforth. Both of them have excellent combat power and leadership.

"Even if the Necromancer has excellent leadership skills, it is inefficient to lead the legion personally. What is the reason?"

"Because it would be more effective to hand it over to the Death Knight who once utilized his leadership in life." Professor Isaac nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes. Even if you have the talent to lead a legion, you are not as good as someone who has experience in leading a legion personally." Even if a five-star necromancer has excellent leadership, compared with the leadership of the Death Knights, it is only at the level of a child.

"After becoming a five-star, the actual command of the legion should be handed over to the Death Knight, and the Necromancer should serve as the commander-in-chief to observe the course of the battle."

Even as the commander-in-chief, what he did was not a big deal. He used magic appropriately according to the flow of the battle, cast a curse on the enemy, and led the battle to victory. He resurrected the dead soldiers and turned the situation on the battlefield. That was all.

"Well, these are general and orthodox necromancer stories." Professor Isaac showed a calm smile on his face.

"But as a student of the Hero Academy, Cardin should be different from them." What does that mean?

Generally speaking, necromancers hide in the dark to cultivate their strength before reaching five stars. However, Cardan, who has been active since entering the academy, should be different from other necromancers.

In need of survival methods for weak necromancers, Isaac filled Cardan's deficiencies with his teachings of "maximum efficiency".

“A five-star Necromancer should follow the orthodox way from the beginning. Are there any other points?” But even if he becomes five-star, is he different from other Necromancers?

"How is Cardan's thinking different from other necromancers?" Cardan, who had answered fluently until now, shut up. What is the difference between a necromancer who grew up orthodox and Cardan now? Is there any difference?

"It's not like he can absorb the power of the demons." No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of a suitable answer. When Cardin was silent, Isaac smiled confidently and spoke again.

"That's because of my teachings." What kind of brazen statement is that? Of course, Isaac was a great man.

The necromancer who inherited Charlotte's title as the guardian is the highest ranking necromancer in the kingdom. It is indeed special to be taught by him, but it is not much different from being taught by a traditional necromancer.

"While I admit that it can grow efficiently and quickly, it can't be considered very special," Cardin asked, tilting his head in confusion.

"Can you learn something special that other necromancers don't know?" Faced with that question, Isaac put away his smile and nodded.

"Cardan. What is the strongest undead creature of a third-level necromancer?"

"It's the Corpse Mountain Golem."

"So what is the strongest undead creature for a five-star necromancer?"

"Death Knight.... No, is it?" Isaac created a special Corpse Mountain Golem in his own way.

So is the Death Knight born in a special way this time?

"Well, didn't they find a way to regenerate the Death Knight like the Corpse Mountain Golem?" Isaac said with a smile as Cardan looked on in surprise.

"So?" The moment I asked the question, I felt a chill down my spine. Goosebumps appeared all over my body, and my heart started beating faster.

Cardin couldn't even blink as he looked at Isaac, who spoke with a calm smile.

"Although it is temporary, we have found a way to further strengthen the Death Knight."
