Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

[Magic Absorption: The only cursed redemption ability that blooms in the desire to survive.]

Cardin sat in a corner of the warehouse and began to read the book "About Magic Absorption" which Isaac personally investigated and compiled.

[Magic is the energy contained in all life. Magic absorption is the ability to absorb the energy of all things.]

The opening section briefly explains magic absorption. This is an ability that cannot be learned, and can only be used by those who are born with it. It is a power given by God.

[But it is said that people who possess this ability cannot use it at will.]

[In simple terms, magic power absorption is a technique for survival, an ability that can only be used when facing death.] Cardin smiled bitterly as he read the following content.

If one could absorb the opponent's magic power at will, it would be a powerful weapon.

"A skill that can only be used when on the verge of death." Can a weapon that cannot be controlled by itself be called a weapon?

"Is it thanks to this ability that the Duchess was defeated?" The demon "Vanessa Florian" who appeared wearing a wild boar mask disappeared.

If someone didn't appear and defeat the Duchess, then it must be the magic power absorbed unconsciously that defeated her.

[In most cases, this ability will manifest unconsciously. After absorbing magic power, it is said that it can exert a stronger power than before for about 10 minutes.]

In the past, people who possessed the ability to absorb magic power only used this ability unconsciously.

Survival technology. In other words, people who have this ability are like having two lives.

However, this ability has a drawback, which ultimately turns everyone into a villain.

[Identification of friend or foe is not possible while using abilities unconsciously. All creatures with magical powers are considered enemies.]

[After absorbing magic power, they will become out of control and everyone will have destructive tendencies.]

The price of absorbing magic power is turning into a murderous demon who wants to kill everything in sight.

For this reason alone, this ability can be said to be cursed.

[If, if this ability can be used freely and consciously, then the objects of magic power absorption will not only be humans, but all things.]

Snap. Cardin closed the book with a bitter expression.

"It seems I have a clear reason why I must act alone. Well, this ability is very suitable for a necromancer."

For a necromancer who leads the battle alone, this ability is the icing on the cake. Thinking this, Cardan calmly put the book into the void.

Soon, Cardin stood up from his seat and looked around the interior of the warehouse again.

"Almost everything has been packed up. Now what's left is..." All of Isaac's belongings originally in the warehouse have been placed into Cardin's void.

Now there is only one left, which is kept in the innermost silver box.

Click. Creak. There was no separate locking device. The box opened easily under Cardin's hand.

"This is my father's letter, and this is a map marking his traces." There were many parchments neatly stacked in the box.

Cardin began to open them one by one, collecting the information Isaac mentioned about Charlotte.

[To Cardin.]

[To Esther.] The only two necromancers in the Hero Academy, a letter to their two students.

"Those who choose to join the resistance will stay at the academy for a while longer, so it should be fine to hand it over to them before leaving here."

Isaac's letter to Esther was carefully placed in his pocket.

The letter Cardin wrote to was immediately opened here.

[There is a map on the back. I hid my graduation gift, I hope you can find it and use it well. Thank you for being with me for so long. Happy graduation, Cardan.]

Isaac prepared a graduation gift and letter in advance for Cardin, who was graduating in two years.

"Really..." A bitter sigh came out of his mouth. It's really amazing.

He actually prepared a graduation gift and letter for Cardin, who was graduating in two years.

Was it foresight or prediction of such an unfortunate future?

Although it is impossible to know what the truth is, it is certain that Isaac loved his disciples very much.

"Thank you, Professor." Cardin bit his lower lip, carefully folded the letter and placed it into the void.

"I will keep the teaching materials safe so that the professor's teachings can continue."

After handing Isaac's letter to Esther and saying goodbye to Teacher Chris, Cardin left the Hero Academy.

"I didn't expect to be so sentimental." Looking at the collapsed Hero Academy building, he couldn't help but recall the past.

The faces of those who had spent time together also emerged one by one, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

"I hope they can all survive well in their respective positions." All the first-year students except Cardin, Kalia and Leiden joined the resistance.

Alvis and Blanche followed the Guardian and the Great Magician Gilbert to Douglas, and the talkative trio were said to have gone to Eloksam.

"Senior Lucas became Gilbert's subordinate, and Senior Esther went to Trafalgar. The others said they went to Eloksam?"

Knowing where the people you have a good relationship with are located, you can always go to them if you have any problems.

"Leyden said he would come home." But Kalia's whereabouts remained a mystery.

After saying goodbye to her students and teachers, Kalia immediately went to find Teacher Belid, and soon disappeared using a teleportation scroll.

"She's a strong girl, she can handle it no matter where she is." Cardin tried to take heavy steps.

"Hey." At this moment, someone rushed over and grabbed Cardin. Looking back, teacher Valentina, who became Luna's subordinate, was standing there.

"I, no, what should I do?" Summoner Valentina, once a subordinate of the demon clan, has not yet chosen her own destination.

"Ah..." Cardin thought for a moment, then cut his palm with the dagger.

"Luna"
