Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Was it nervousness? Blanche's voice sounded even colder than usual.

"Remember, we are not here to fight. We are going to move quietly through this forest."

Stealth and speed.

Mathias said this and led the way into the forest, followed closely by Cardin and Blanche.

“What a spooky place.”

As soon as I walked into the forest, I felt the hairs on my body stand up.

Even to a necromancer, the Forest of Aesias has an eerie aura.

"There are no monsters in this forest except for the dark elves. Well, there are wild beasts, but they won't be a problem."

Is this a blessing in disguise?

In this forest, just be wary of the Dark Elves.

"Ignore the beast and go straight through. Unnecessary bloodshed might attract the dark elves."

Mathias kept warning as he walked.

"We need to stay in this forest for at least three days. It's more vast and more dangerous than we imagined."

As Mathias warned, Cardin looked around with a bitter expression.

"It would be nice if the Duchess wasn't a demon."

Besides the dark elves, Cardan has another person to be wary of.

"If it's a low-level or mid-level demon, we'll be thankful. If it's a high-level horse, we'll be wiped out."

After knowing that the Duchess is a demon, he can no longer let down his guard.

"You can't hide your power anymore."

If the demons show up, Cardin plans to show all his strength.

"Although summoning Luna will be a bit troublesome, it's better than death."

It would be foolish to conserve energy when death is a possibility.

How long have you been gone?

After walking for a while, something translucent flew towards Cardin and his group at an astonishing speed.

-Master, stop!

The semi-transparent one is the ghost summoned by Cardan.

-The Dark Elves are hunting deer. There are quite a lot of them!

The ghost waved his translucent hand and reported the situation ahead.

"Senior, we have to take another route."

Cardin immediately conveyed the ghost's words to Mathias.

"why?"

Hearing this, Mathias stopped and looked at Cardin.

"There are a lot of dark elves ahead. Although it's a bit far, we might encounter them if we keep going this way."

Cardin said, pointing at the race next to him, and Mathias smacked his tongue and nodded.

"Tsk. No way."

It is impossible to encounter dark elves from the first day of entering the forest. It is too big to escape from the forest.

It takes about 3 days to travel.

Avoid pursuit within 3 days, there may be physical problems.

rustle.

Matthias took out a map from his arms and frowned in thought.

"Then let's go this way."

He seemed to have decided something and pointed to the side.

"Although we have to take a detour, the direction is about the same. First, we need to avoid the dark elves. Any opinions?"

"Yes."

"understood."

Hearing his words, Cardin and Blanche nodded to indicate that they had no objection.

"Ah, and Blanche."

"what?"

Mathias put the map back into his arms and called Blanche.

"Don't be too nervous. Even if you encounter a dark elf, you won't die."

Mathias noticed how nervous she was and smiled softly.

call out!call out!

Blanche shuddered momentarily, then slapped her cheek in response.

"Ah, okay."

Her body seemed to be trembling slightly. Although she tried to hide her nervousness, her stiff face immediately exposed her condition.

"Thin-looking guys are very nervous in actual combat."

Cardin looked at Blanche and couldn't help but smile.

"what are you laughing at?"

Hearing the slight laughter, Blanche glared at Cardin and asked.

She probably felt that the common people looked down on her, and their eyes were more ferocious than before.

"Now that looks like you. Excessive tension can be dangerous. Relax."

Cardin replied, shaking his head, and Blanche seemed angry, gnashing her teeth.

She probably didn't expect to hear something like this from a civilian.

Blanche clenched her fists and took a step toward Cardin, as if she wanted to say something.

at that time.

"Cardan, scout this side. We'll move slowly."

Mathias called over to Cardan and gave him instructions, Cardan sneered and immediately turned his attention to Mathias.

"Yes, I understand."

The three of them reorganized themselves temporarily.

Whoosh.

In the shadows of the branches someone stood watching them.

Although the distance was not far, Cardin, Mathias, and Blanche did not notice the ominous gaze.

Then, the person hiding in the shadow raised the corners of his mouth.

Whoosh.

He hid in the darkness again.

It was the third day in the forest. Cardan and his companions were resting, keeping an eye on their surroundings.

"Everyone looks exhausted." Cardin looked at the team members with a sympathetic expression on his face. The hardship of the journey was clearly visible on both of their faces.

"It's impossible not to be tired." You always have to stay tense when moving, and you can't relax when resting.

Even during sleep, we have to take turns to keep watch, so we can't even sleep well. This is probably what it feels like to lurk in the enemy's camp?

"We're lucky to be able to escape the forest today." There have been no incidents or accidents in the past three days.
