Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Puff! Puff! The Duchess desperately waved her twisted right hand, trying to get rid of Cardin.

However, the wrist that Cardin was holding showed no sign of loosening.

"Damn it!" She felt her strength being sucked away, which made her very scared. Not only that, she also felt her physical strength rapidly weakening in real time.

"What should I do?" The Duchess racked her brains, but could not think of a solution. The technique Cardin was using now was a forgotten necromancy that only ancient necromancers could use.

An ancient necromancy technique that can only be performed by those who have experienced death.

Although she was a demon who had lived for a long time, she did not know how to deal with the ancient necromancer's techniques. She could only wait until Cardan let her go and attack him with all her might.

"Crazy!" Unfortunately, Cardin would never let her go. He didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go, but instead tightened his grip on the arm that was strangling his neck.

The Duchess' arms shrank rapidly, as if the water had been taken away from them. Starting from her arms, her whole body shrank rapidly.

"Ahem, ahem!" Soon, the Duchess's hand in Cardin's hand fell off with a snap.

"This damn necromancer!" The Duchess was furious and rushed towards Cardin. But she couldn't even raise her fist.

"Me, will I be scared?" The moment he looked into Cardin's eyes, fear dominated his brain, just like prey facing a predator.

Cardin's eyes were still unfocused, but they were full of blue light. Cardin looked down at the Duchess expressionlessly.

Bang! She instinctively sensed danger and quickly stepped back. At this moment, a smile appeared on Cardin's lips. It was an innocent smile, like a child who had found a toy.

The innocent smile at this moment brought her countless fears.

"Do you know who I am?" In order to overcome her fear, the Duchess gritted her teeth and tried to use magic on Cardin.

"Hmm?" But the flames did not burst out. Was it because all her magic power was taken away? She could not create strong flames like before.

Crack! Then a bony hand emerged from the ground and grabbed her ankle. Just like before, she couldn't use the fire to change her body and get rid of it.

"Wait! Don't come over here!" Her shout didn't seem to reach Cardin, and he continued to walk over. Snap.

Soon Cardin was in front of her, his hand reaching for the top of her head.

"Ahhh!" Blue magic grew out of his hands, and soon the Duchess's remaining power began to be rapidly absorbed. The Duchess gradually shrank and lost consciousness.

Hiss, hiss, hiss... Soon, she turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared. It was a tragic, empty and helpless ending. Perhaps because all her power was sucked away, not even a piece of magic stone was left where she disappeared.

Whoosh! At this moment, an arrow flew in from somewhere in the forest. Crack. Cardan looked at the arrow expressionlessly, and soon a bone shield appeared in the air.

Ding! The arrow hit the shield and fell to the ground. Rustle! Rustle! Then, dozens of dark elves jumped out of the forest.

"killed!"

"This is our territory."

"Any human who invades our territory must die. You should know that, right?" The dark elves threatened Cardan who stood motionless.

“.... ....” Cardin just looked at them silently and said nothing.

"Damn human, how dare you do such evil here!" The dark elves looked at the burning forest, clenched their teeth, and stared at Cardan angrily.

"He's not an ordinary person! Kill him immediately!" As someone shouted, dozens of dark elves rushed towards Cardan at lightning speed.

No, they wanted to rush over. Whoosh. The moment the dark elves wanted to rush over, a black aura surged from Cardan's body.

"What, what?" The dark elves stopped in unison.

"If you get close, you will die." Unspeakable and inexplicable fear. The moment the dark elves felt the ominous power, they could not move a step.

How could a mere human being possess such ominous power?

"If we continue like this, our entire army will be wiped out. Even if we charge forward, we will only end up dead." The dark elf who seemed to be the leader looked around. The other dark elves just held their weapons and hesitated, and no one dared to attack.

A stiff expression. Legs shaking uncontrollably. No matter who saw it, it looked like someone was frightened. Whoosh. Cardin turned his head, and the dark elves retreated tremblingly.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Soon, the leader, who judged that there was no chance of winning, issued an order. With a rustle, the dark elves, shrouded in fear, quickly disappeared into the forest just as they had come.

“…. ….” Cardan didn’t seem to be planning to chase the dark elves. He just stared blankly at the forest where the dark elves disappeared. Soon, Cardan fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, and lost consciousness.

It was a quiet night in the forest. A leaf gently fell on the nose of the unconscious Cardan. Soon, Cardan's fingers moved and his eyes slowly opened.

The moonlight shining through the branches illuminated Cardin. "This is..." Cardin came to his senses and slowly stood up. Traces of a fierce battle appeared in his sight.

Broken trees, sunken ground, and burned grass. But there was no sign of the Duchess, who had left any traces of the battle.

"How is this going?"
