Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

In front of Trafalgar City Gate. Many people gathered in front of the magnificent city gate, their expressions were different from usual, full of anticipation.

"What's going on all of a sudden?" Under the gazes of many people, Cardin smiled disdainfully.

This was a duel suddenly proposed by Isaac, and his opponent was the disciple of the Mercenary King.

"That guy said he was a five-star, right?" The opponent was holding a sword and a shield, and he looked quite sharp. Cardin was officially recognized as a five-star, so the opponent in the duel also chose a five-star mercenary.

"My conscience stings a little." Cardin, who had actually reached six stars, felt a little uncomfortable, but his opponent was the disciple of the Mercenary King and he could not take it lightly.

On the other hand, Isaac and Mercenary King Jed, who were driving this duel, were sitting in comfortable chairs, waiting for the duel to begin.

"Have you started to cherish your body since you became a guardian? Why are you suddenly proposing a duel between your disciples?" Jade said to Isaac with disdain, and Isaac replied with a kind smile.

"Our era is coming to an end. Shouldn't we pass on the glory to the next generation?"

"Are you saying that kid will inherit your mantle?" Jade asked, looking at Cardin with a smile.

"He will surpass me. Maybe he can reach a higher position than that adult."

"Fighting against someone who can inherit the position of Mercenary King will definitely improve my actual combat skills."

"Why? It looks like you're worried that your disciples will lose to my disciples?" Isaac asked jokingly, and Jed snorted again with disdain.

"Worried? If it weren't for Matthias, I could have passed the position of Mercenary King to that kid. You should be worried, right?" Isaac smiled at his confidence and nodded.

"Since both of you have such confidence in your disciple, it seems like it's time to place a bet."

"Okay. What shall we bet on?"

"Keep it simple. The winner of the duel can ask the other master for anything. How about that?"

"That's right." After the two looked at each other meaningfully, they turned to look at the disciples who were preparing for the duel.

"Ah, what's your disciple's name?" As if suddenly remembering something, Jed turned around and looked at Isaac again.

"Cardan." Isaac replied without turning around, just smiling.

"I seem to have heard this name somewhere before." Jade tilted his head and turned his gaze to Cardin again.

"Necromancer Cardan..." As Jade tilted his head, someone walked out from between the two people who were preparing for a duel.

"I am the referee knight Haman in charge of this duel." Haman looked at Cardin and the mercenary king's disciples and briefly introduced himself.

"If you're ready, let's start by greeting each other?" Then he motioned for them to greet each other.

"Mercenary Ropustar." The Mercenary King's disciple looked at Cardin with sharp eyes and introduced himself.

"I'm Cardin, a student at Hero Academy," Cardin greeted politely with a small smile.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" The man who called himself Ropsda looked at Cardin as if he were an enemy. It was probably just a provocation from his opponent.

Cardan smiled easily and slowly activated his magic power.

"The mages and priests are on standby, you can fight without worries. If there is a dangerous situation, I will take action." Harman took two steps back and said, Cardan and Ropsda nodded and looked at each other again.

"Well, let's get started." Following Harman's signal, Lopusda moved smoothly.

Whoosh! Lopustar quickly closed the distance and drew his sword. Ding! Cardan did not retreat, but directly summoned a bone shield to block the attack.

"It's definitely gotten faster." After sorting out the flow of mana with Luna's help, he was able to use magic faster than before.

Surprised at Cardan's quick reaction, Lopusda smacked his lips and drew back his sword. Whoosh! He immediately turned and swung his sword.

Clang! But this time, Cardin pulled out the dagger and blocked the attack. Lopusda showed an expression of disbelief.

"What kind of necromancer..." He swung his sword half a beat faster than usual. If it was an ordinary necromancer, he would have retreated in panic or been hit by the attack.

But Cardan neither retreated nor was he hit by the sudden attack. Incredible reaction speed for a necromancer.

"Is that it?" Cardin nodded to himself, then smiled and held out his ring-covered hand.

"Undead?" Lopusda thought Cardan was going to summon the undead, so he repositioned himself and swung his sword quickly. Whoosh! At that moment, red liquid shot out of Cardan's ring.

"Ah!" The sword pierced through the shoulder of Ropustar who was about to swing the sword. In panic, Ropustar stepped back and checked the pierced shoulder.

There was a small hole in the shoulder as if pierced by a needle.

"I was careless." Lopusda gritted his teeth and got back into position. At the same time, Cardin took out the goblin's body from the alien space and threw it on the ground casually.

"Goblin?" I thought he was going to summon the undead, but what Cardan took out was just the corpse of a goblin.

"Are you trying to trick me?" What can a goblin's corpse do? Lopusda frowned, bent his waist again unhappily, and rushed towards Cardan.

"I wanted to take it slow, but I'm going to make you pay the price for cheating."

He seemed to have finished his test, and a purple glow condensed on his sword. Ropsda quickly closed the distance and swung his sword.
