Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Silence flows.

“…….” Isaac, who was stabbed by the dagger, vomited blood, but his expression was blank.

"Why, why would the Guardian...?" Others also looked at Hamilton, who was wearing a fox mask, with disbelief.

"By the way, don't expect any reinforcements. All the guys who went to ask for them are dead." A shrill laugh came from behind the fox mask.

"And, Professor Isaac. Watch carefully. Before you die, see how the academy you cherish most collapses." Hearing Hamilton's words, everyone trembled and took a defensive stance.

The fear of death in Hamilton's voice permeated every corner of the academy. Just hearing the ridicule, everyone here naturally thought of death.

"Demon, demon tribe..." At this time, Teacher Valentina pointed at Hamilton with a face full of fear.

Hearing her words, people looked at Valentina and Hamilton alternately with expressions of disbelief.

The guardian who protects the kingdom from the demons is the demons? This is a ridiculous and absurd statement.

"There's still a smart guy here?" However, Hamilton seemed to acknowledge Valentina's words, nodded, and smiled sinisterly.

When that impossible idea became reality, the academy fell silent again.

The moment hope turns to despair, people's minds are filled with empty feelings.

"Everyone cheer up!" At this time, Isaac, who had just stood up, shouted to the people.

As he shouted, the frozen time was broken and his unfocused eyes began to flicker again.

"Then, prepare to fight!" a teacher who had regained consciousness shouted.

At this time, those who woke up activated their magic power and prepared for battle.

"Today will be another hero's day!"

"Give your life for the Kingdom!" The cry echoed everywhere in order to boost morale and to restore the spirit that had fallen to the bottom.

Waaaah!

"For the Kingdom. What a pity. Do you think the Kingdom is a place for you now?" Even such a cry seemed ridiculous to Hamilton.

Hamilton made a disdainful sound with his tongue and shook his head.

"Hamilton. As far as I know, you are clearly a human. When did you become a demon?"

Isaac slowly stood up and asked Hamilton. The Hamilton in his memory was clearly an ordinary person.

Isaac had met Hamilton's parents, brothers and sisters, and they were all human. The Hamilton that Isaac knew was clearly a human.

"Should I say, from before I became a Guardian?" Maybe there's no need to hide it?

Hamilton shrugged and answered immediately. Isaac was angry.

Could it be that people have been expressing gratitude to the demons disguised as humans for protecting the kingdom?

As Hamilton responded, the sense of despair and emptiness at the academy grew.

"Well, there's no need to hide it now anyway. There's no need to hide anymore." Snap! Hamilton said, taking off the necklace from his neck.

Wow! The moment the necklace broke, a strange aura burst out from Hamilton's body.

"Phew. So comfortable." The necklace he was wearing was a magical tool specially made to hide the power of demons.

As its effect showed, Hamilton's body was filled with a malicious aura, flickering eerily.

“Could it be…” Isaac hesitated and frowned.

Now that he no longer needed tools to hide his demonic power, it meant that he did not intend to hide the fact that he was a demon.

"Do you want to wage war on the kingdom?"

"Well, that's not what I meant. I was just telling you what the higher-ups have decided." The dagger in Hamilton's hand began to gather an ominous red aura.

Seeing the demon power gathered on the dagger, Isaac immediately turned his attention to the people in the academy and shouted loudly.

"Everyone, run away! Don't think about fighting! Run away and find a way to survive!"

"Professor?" Isaac's reaction seemed incomprehensible, and the teachers and professors tilted their heads.

But Isaac didn't seem to intend to answer them, and immediately summoned a group of higher-level undead creatures to attack Hamilton.

"Even if your hands are intact, it would be difficult to inflict a blow on me. Do you still want to attack me like this?" Hamilton shook his head and ignored Isaac.

"Isaac. You do have an insane talent for summoning the undead, but your undead are special, but you yourself are not."

Hamilton stood there, swinging the dagger. As the dagger cut through the air, the red gas gradually grew larger and shot towards Isaac.

Crack, crack, crack! The undead creatures that attacked Hamilton were easily killed.

The superior undead creature blessed by enhanced magic was knocked down so easily.

Then, a red aura that grew like a wave covered Isaac. It seemed that it was too late to dodge. In Isaac's current state, it seemed impossible to dodge or block the attack.

Isaac seemed to accept his tragic end and even dropped the hand he was holding.

At this time, Wahhhh! The teachers and professors stood in front of Isaac and cast defensive magic to protect Isaac.

"Ahem!" Was it shocking enough to succeed in using magic defense alone? Some people vomited blood, while others gritted their teeth and endured the pain.

"Oh, what a touching scene?"Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

Hamilton clapped his hands as he watched the teachers and professors work together to protect Isaac. Not for praise, but for mocking applause.

"I told you to run away!" Instead of thanking the teachers and professors who blocked the attack, Isaac got angry at them.

"Do you want to fight the demons with one hand?"

"We can't let you die alone."

"How can we do this when we have the love of our companions?"

“Isn’t it possible if we unite?”
