Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Use ghosts to scout your surroundings, and then move slowly after confirming it's safe, so you can avoid dangerous situations.

This method of movement was slow but safe, and thanks to it the three men were able to continue moving forward.

Sometimes the dark elves will reduce their detection range, but even in such moments, they can use ghosts to quickly respond.

"It will be troublesome if we encounter demons here." Although I can't be completely reassured, the demons have not appeared so far.

This was indeed lucky. If we fought the demons in the forest, the dark elves would have discovered our location.

"In that case, we will be faced with the terrible situation of fighting against the demons and the dark elves at the same time." The fact that the demons did not appear here was a small consolation in itself.

"Is it about time to set off?" While thinking, Mayas picked up the gun he had just put down and slowly stood up from his seat.

“Although we are tired, just try harder. As long as we escape from this forest, we can move easily.” Mathias, who was ready to set off, looked at the team members and continued.

"If we speed up a little, we can escape from this forest before dark. What do you think? Is everyone in good health?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Yes, I'm fine." Cardin and Blanche replied with a calm expression that it was fine.

Although sleeping was uncomfortable and keeping tense was hard, I didn't fight, so my physical condition was relatively good. Although I can't say it was completely good, it wasn't difficult to speed up.

"Okay. Let's speed up a little and escape from this forest as soon as possible, which will make us feel better mentally. Let's speed up a little." Mathias nodded and started moving, and Cardin and Blanche also kept up with his speed.

The edge of the forest can be seen in the distance. There is no forest over there. The exit from the forest is clear.

"Exit." The three people who were trying to move forward thought of the same thing at the same time.

Was it because they felt it was over? Smiles appeared on their tired faces. Perhaps they wanted to escape from the forest as quickly as possible, so the three of them quickened their pace in tacit agreement. At that moment.

A woman sauntered out from between the trees and paused on the path leading to the exit.

"Wait, stop for a moment!" Matthias hurriedly stopped and ordered. Cardin and Blanche stopped running according to his instructions.

"Is it a dark elf?" Matthias looked warily at the woman blocking his way. "What's that mask?" The woman was wearing a boar mask and a hooded robe.

Fortunately, the elf's symbol - pointy ears - cannot be seen from behind the mask.

"Not an elf." Then who is this woman? Why did she suddenly appear and block the road?

"In any case, he doesn't look like someone who would enter the forest out of curiosity." Matthias suddenly felt a chill.

Wearing a mask is to hide one's identity, and suddenly appearing in the way means there is a clear purpose.

“Are you here to deal with us?” Even when Matthias asked, the woman in the boar mask did not respond.

"Take off that pig mask and show your true face, or get out of the way. We have something urgent to do."

"Puff!" Then, laughter came from behind the wild boar mask.

"Oh, sorry. Sorry. It looks too much like them." The woman wearing the wild boar mask waved her hand.

Although that look made people uncomfortable, for some reason, there was an inexplicable pressure that made it difficult for people to speak.

“But do you think it’s all over?” The woman pointed her thumb behind her. The exit of the forest, and continued.

"It's over once we get past that point?" A strange yet familiar voice.

It came out softly, but it sounded scary. Was it because of the strange feeling he felt from her? Mathias picked up the gun and took a posture ready to rush forward at any time.

"Everyone, get ready." As Matthias whispered, Cardin and Blanche slowly activated their magic. The woman wearing the boar mask nodded with satisfaction and said.

"I love it a lot. The look of humanity crumbling in the face of hope. There's nothing better than watching that."

boom!

"Then let me see your despair." As soon as she finished speaking, flames ignited under the feet of Matthias and the other two.

Flame! The flickering flame suddenly grew larger.

"Run!" As Matthias shouted, the three men rushed in all directions. If they were a little later, they would be engulfed by the huge flames.

"She's a magician." To be exact, she's not just an ordinary magician.

To be able to display such threatening magic without prior preparation, he must be a magician of at least 6 stars.

"We have to act quickly. If the battle continues too long, the dark elves will appear." Now that they were sure that the woman blocking the way was an enemy, there was no reason to hesitate.

"Is anyone injured?" After confirming the condition of Cardin and Blanche, Matthias immediately continued to give orders.

"Let Blanche prepare the magic attack, Cardin. You assist me and protect Blanche at the same time." After Matthias said this, he immediately stepped on the ground and rushed towards the woman wearing a wild boar mask.

Snap! Cardin quickly summoned orc skeleton soldiers around Blanche as ordered.

"I don't know if it's a physical attack, but it's weak against magic."
