Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Swish, swish, swish! Ropes made of blood suddenly jumped out from the goblin corpse thrown on the ground and tightly wrapped around Lopusda's hands, shoulders, body, and legs.

"Aaaaaah!" Frightened by the sudden restraints, Lopsta tried to move his body, but the ropes tightened his body even more.

"What, what is this!" While Lopusda was panicking, Cardan drew his dagger and slowly walked towards him.

Whoosh. Then he put the sharp dagger against Lopusda's throat. Cardan had no expression on his face, and he seemed to be unable to feel the joy of victory. He turned his head silently and looked at the referee.

"C-Cardan wins...!" The referee, who finally came to his senses, announced Cardan's victory. Wow! After Cardan's victory was confirmed, the people watching the duel burst into cheers.

"Looks like I won the bet." Isaac said to the shocked Jade easily.

"How is it possible? How could a necromancer move like that..." Jed couldn't believe it.

Cardan easily blocked Lopustar's fast swing with his short sword. That was not the way a necromancer should move.

"And he hasn't even summoned the undead. He easily decided the outcome with magic alone..." Isaac beside him said with a smile as Jed was shocked.

"Don't be too angry. He is the most famous and powerful one among the freshmen of Hero Academy."

"Ah, I remember now." Jed sneered as he watched Cardan press the dagger to his disciple's throat.

"The necromancer that Matthias mentioned." A few months ago, Jade met a student named "Matthias" who was on a mission at the Hero Academy.

Matthias said he was helping a junior. -He was the only necromancer among the freshmen, a strange guy. He was very interested in close combat and grew up very fast. He was an amazing guy.

Jed just casually told Mathias that he wanted to meet him in person if he had the chance. He didn't expect to meet the necromancer that Mathias mentioned in this way.

"Did you instruct the young necromancer not to summon the undead?" Jed asked Isaac with a frown. The duel that Cardan showed was not like that of an ordinary necromancer.

Normally, a necromancer would summon the undead at the beginning of a duel and then retreat to the back, but Cardan neither summoned the undead nor retreated.

Seeing the mercenaries rushing towards him, he was neither afraid nor panicked.

"This is a real combat duel, how could I give such instructions?" Isaac shook his head and said.

"It seems to be his personal choice. Although we can guess the reason, it is not clear." Cardin neither underestimated his opponent nor was he arrogant.

Isaac and Jade saw that Cardin took the duel seriously and went all out against the mercenary Lopsda.

"Tsk tsk, you have cultivated a disaster star."

"Who knows. A disaster or a hero?" The two turned their attention to Cardan and Lopustar who had finished their duel.

The meeting room of Lord Trafalgar's castle. After the duel, Cardan, Isaac, Jed and Aaron Trafalgar gathered in the meeting room again.

"Are you all satisfied with your meal?" Aaron Trafalgar asked the others in the meeting room with a smile.

"The chefs at Trafalgar are truly outstanding talents." "It's delicious." Isaac and Cardin answered first, and Jed just nodded silently.

"Thanks to you all, the originally gloomy city atmosphere has temporarily become brighter." Aaron recalled the duel between Cardan and Lopsda in front of the city gate just now.

The news of the duel between the disciple of the guardian and the disciple of the mercenary king excited the people in the city. The duel between the two men gave the exhausted people of the war some vitality, and Aaron expressed his gratitude for this.

"Cardan, do you know Matthias?" Mercenary King Jed then asked Cardan casually.

"Yes, I know him." Cardin immediately stood up from his seat and greeted him solemnly.

"Are you interested in close combat?"

“Because close combat is my weakness, I am very interested in this and want to overcome it.” The Mercenary King nodded with satisfaction and looked at Isaac.

"You have trained a good disciple."

"Nothing, he's been excellent from the beginning, so there's nothing I can do." For some reason, Aaron Trafalgar felt an inexplicable warm atmosphere and asked Isaac and Jed cautiously.

"It is said that the relationship between the two is not good, but it seems that is not the case." Hearing this, Isaac and Jed smiled and nodded.

"Jade is an old friend of mine. We were teammates during the war against the demons and have kept in touch ever since."

"Every time we meet, we compete to see who is stronger, so there are rumors of discord." Isaac and Jade took turns explaining that the rumors were not true.

"It is just as I expected. At first I thought the two of you had a bad relationship and it was very tense." Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.

At this critical moment when the kingdom ordered the execution of the mercenaries imprisoned in prison, if Isaac came here and fought with the mercenary king, the city would fall into deeper chaos.

"Cardan, you and I made a bet. The winner can ask for anything from the other." Perhaps you have something to ask of me? Jade asked lightheartedly, and Cardan pondered for a moment.

"Maybe..." Knock, knock! Just as Cardin was about to speak, someone knocked on the door of the conference room.

"My Lord! The Knights of Colinfirth have crossed the city gate!" The hurried voices of the soldiers outside the city gate came, and everyone in the conference room looked at Professor Isaac at the same time.

"Well, it looks like it's time for me to show up."
