Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

The technology that Cardin demonstrated was a unique defense technology that Mathias had suggested to Cardin. Cardin had already accomplished something that was theoretically possible, and now he could finally show this technology to Mathias.

Cardin shrugged and looked down the stage, his sights fixed on the man wearing the monster mask. At this time, Mathias, who was wearing the monster mask, took off the mask and spoke only through mouth shape.

Madman. Cardin chuckled and looked at the flustered Leiden again.

"How, how is it possible..." Panicked, Leiden quickly checked Cardan's dagger.

"Is it a magic shield?" At that moment, someone on the stage shouted in doubt.

"Magic shield?"

"Did they add a magic shield to the dagger? Thinly?"

"No, if the magic shield is thin enough to be added to the dagger, it won't be that strong, right?" Then, the audience began to boil.

Although the boiling continued, no one found the correct answer.

The noise in the crowd was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that they were very depressed. Leiden also frowned and looked at Cardan. When the noise gradually became louder.

"What a strange idea. Overlap multiple layers of thin magic shields and make it like a magic sword." Teacher Belid's voice penetrated the silence and reached the ears of the students in the venue.

"Is that possible?"

"It's possible in theory, but it's difficult to use it like that in combat."

"Making thin, multi-layered magic shields is a more delicate job than you might think."

"So, that first-year necromancer is a lunatic?" Cardin shrugged and said to Leiden amid the noise of the audience.

"If you have nothing more to show, let's end it?" There was a sense of "your attack won't work" in the light-hearted words.

Leiden seemed to understand the hidden meaning. He sneered and shook his head, then re-gripped the sword and assumed a stance again.

"Tsk. I didn't intend to use this method." Even in his excitement, Leiden did not rush over immediately.

"I hope you'll feel honored that you've seen this technique." Instead, he lowered his weight, holding the sword with both hands, and looked at Cardin.

Wearing an eagle mask, it gave people the feeling of an eagle stalking its prey. Whoosh. Leiden took a step forward, and the Aulī around him began to fluctuate.

Like throwing a stone into a calm lake, the waves of Aulë spread out with Leiden as the center.

"This is the swordsmanship of the Montclair family!" Someone in the audience recognized Leiden's swordsmanship and shouted.

Hearing that voice, Leiden sneered and rushed towards Cardan. Whoosh! Leiden quickly closed the distance between him and Cardan and swung his sword directly at Cardan's side.

"It's too late, I can't block it." Cardin thought it would be better to dodge instead of blocking it, so he quickly pulled away and threw his body backwards.

"Pfft." Leiden's attack obviously missed, but laughter came from behind the mask he was wearing.

"Laugh?" Cardin didn't understand the reason for the laughter and was about to sneer. Whoosh. In an instant, the mask Cardin was wearing was split in half, and one half fell to the ground.

"I clearly dodged it?" Cardin looked at the half mask that fell to the ground in disbelief.

"I cut off your breath right from the start." Leiden scoffed lightheartedly and Cardan smiled at the sight.

"Start doing it seriously now so you won't regret it?" Leiden got into position and seemed to be about to rush over again. Cardin nodded in agreement.

"You've grown a lot." Cardin's words sounded like praise, which made Leiden unhappy, and he quickly moved forward.

"Even if you stand still, you will be hit. Even if you block, you will be hit. Even if you dodge, you will be hit." No matter what, being hit is the same.

Leiden has reached this point, and Cardan can no longer take it easy.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Cardan quickly built a bone wall in front of Leiden and slowed down his pace.

Boom! Boom! Boom! He quickly opened up the space and threw the goblin's body to the ground.

"Leden, do you know?" Cardan broke through the bone wall and walked towards Leiden. Leiden ignored Cardan's words and tried to close the distance quickly.

"I'm a five-star." Cardin said, reaching out to the body that had fallen to the ground. Boom boom boom! At the same time, the goblin's body made a loud noise and exploded.

Leiden was hit by the blast, but he quickly took a defensive stance and dodged the blast. Although he didn't completely avoid it, his mask began to crack and crack.

Whoosh. Soon, the eagle mask he was wearing shattered and fell to the ground.

"Damn it!" Leiden frowned angrily and tried to lift his leg again.

“What, what!” However, Leiden couldn’t move. The goblin’s body exploded, blood splattered everywhere, and the red ropes extending from the blood grabbed Leiden’s whole body.

"This damn blood!" Leiden activated all the Aul's power in his body, intending to burn the blood ropes that bound him. A four-star Aul's power should be able to easily evaporate blood magic.

"You thought I was going to sit there and wait while you evaporated all that blood?" Cardan chuckled, summoning a skeleton soldier to stand in front of Leiden.

An orc-looking skeleton soldier threatened Ra-den's neck with a large axe.

"If you want to continue this meaningless game, I'll accept it."

"Ahhhhhh!" Cardan challenged lightheartedly, and Leiden screamed in anger.

"It looks like the winner has been decided." Teacher Chris walked over from the corner of the stage, watched the game, opened his hands, and walked towards the center of the stage.

"The student wearing the skull mask wins." Hearing what Teacher Chris said, Cardin immediately took back the summoned skeleton and the goblin corpse thrown on the ground.

"Damn it!" Leiden seemed angry at the failure and stared at Cardin fiercely. But he knew that Teacher Chris was watching, so he couldn't act arbitrarily.

"Instead of being arrogant, you should admit the gap and work harder. That way, there is still a possibility." Cardin said to the angry Leiden, as if giving him advice.

“Of course, you might not listen to me.” An obvious gap in strength has been demonstrated. After all, Cardin has reached six stars, while Leiden is still stuck at four stars.

No matter what Ra-den does, it's almost impossible to defeat Cardan. If Cardan summons a Death Knight, the game will end much faster.

"It took more mana than I thought. I need to recover first." Cardin seemed unhappy about having to use blood magic just to warm up.

Just as Cardin was about to step down, there was a loud bang and the ceiling of the venue collapsed.
