Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

The city's Knights' training ground. The ownerless Knights' building became the territory of the temporary mercenaries within a day.

"Wait a moment." Mercenary King Jade, who brought Cardin to the center of the training ground, called over the mercenaries who were training nearby.

"Go and bring Ropes here. Tell him that this is his chance to avenge the humiliation he suffered three years ago. He will come ready."

"Yes!" The mercenary who was named answered loudly and ran to somewhere. Not long after. Click! The door of the training ground opened, and a familiar face appeared.

"Who are you?" Ropes widened his eyes and looked surprised when he found Cardin.

"Nice to meet you. Cardan, right?" Ropes bowed his head respectfully and greeted Cardan.

"What? The atmosphere is completely different from three years ago?" Cardin was a little panicked by the look.

Three years ago, Ropes, whom I met in Trafalgar City, was an impolite mercenary.

Ropes, who once seemed uneducated, now had manners that were confusing.

"It's like he has become a completely different person." His appearance has also changed a lot. If he was just a hoodlum with nothing to show for it three years ago, now he seems to have a bit more masculinity.

"Let's talk later, how about we start the competition first?" At this time, Jed suggested with an expectant look, and Cardin and Ropes nodded at the same time.

"I won't be defeated as easily as before." Ropus picked up his sword and shield and prepared to fight.

Huh, huh. Cardin also activated his magic power and prepared to start the fight.

"Neither of you need to worry about being seriously injured or killed. If you think it's dangerous, I will intervene." Is there such a reliable referee? Cardin smiled lightly and nodded.

Even if you are ready to kill your opponent, you don't have to worry about him dying, which makes you feel at ease.

"Got it." Hearing Cardin's answer, Jade smiled and quickly gestured to start.

"Go ahead. Start." Following Jade's signal, Cardin anticipated the other party's rush and prepared to use bone magic.

"Huh?" But Rops didn't rush to Cardin immediately.

“Oh? You don’t act easily?” He just blocked the front with a shield, ready to counterattack at any time, holding the sword.

"Keeping a distance from the Necromancer doesn't seem to be a good choice." Cardan smiled softly and immediately summoned the Death Knight in front.

"For the sake of the monarch, I am willing to dedicate myself to the death of my enemies!" After a gigantic Ogre Death Knight appeared, the mercenaries watching the fight laughed.

"No way, even ogres can become death knights?"

"If you encounter a monster like that in a dungeon, you'll definitely lose."

"You can tell he's strong at first glance?" Cardin's Death Knight, Karok, is also stronger than he was three years ago. The green flames that were previously only attached to his weapon and head have spread to his entire body.

"Last time, because of Professor Isaac's advice, we didn't summon undead creatures to fight?" But now there are no rules restricting Cardin.

"Try the Death Knight first?" Rather than defeating the opponent through fighting, it is more important to apply what you have practiced during this period to actual combat.

"Do you think you can stop me with undead creatures?" Facing Cardan's Death Knight "Karlock", Ropus was still confident and did not feel any fear.

"It's definitely not an ordinary Death Knight." Cardan smiled easily and stretched out his hand to the Death Knight. Then the black smoke produced when summoning the Death Knight blew out from his hand.

But the black smoke did not form the shape of the Death Knight, but directly wrapped around Carlock's body and was absorbed.

"For the monarch." The eyes of the Death Knight Karlock glowed green, and Ropus realized that he was not an easy opponent.

"When facing a Necromancer, of course we have to deal with the Necromancer first..." Ropus, who didn't want to confront the Death Knight head-on, shifted his gaze and looked at Cardan.

"But that man is not an ordinary necromancer." I don't know what methods he will use. If I am not careful, I might be captured by Blood Binding and suffer a miserable defeat like three years ago.

But when I think of how to deal with Necromancers, I only think of attacking Necromancers with weaker melee abilities.

"Yes. It's different from three years ago. If you get caught, just struggle hard." Ropus finally made up his mind, raised his shield, took a defensive stance, and looked at the Death Knight.

"There's no need to waste your energy." Anyway, if Cardan is suppressed, the Death Knight will be disabled. Swish. Lopus, holding the sword, took a short breath to adjust his breathing.

He rushed forward with all his strength, instantly closing the distance between him and the Death Knight. Seeing that scene, Cardin smiled.

"No wonder the Mercenary King said he would give him a wish ticket if he wins." It seemed that he understood why Mercenary King Jed was so confident in betting on the wish ticket in this contest.

Every move of Ropes was very neat and fast, which was totally different from 3 years ago.

"At least 6 stars or above."

When Ropus arrived in front of the Death Knight Carlock, Carlock was swinging the huge battle axe in his hand. Ropus looked at the axe swinging in the diagonal direction and sneered.

This time he made a detour and started running towards Cardan from the side. Seeing this, Carlock, who was swinging his axe, looked at Ropus running towards Cardan in surprise.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! Carlock used the force of the axe to throw it at Ropus. If he threw it like this, Cardin would also be in danger, but Carlock did not hesitate.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The axe flew towards us with a terrible sound, as if it was tearing through the wind.

“Crazy.” Seeing the flying axe, Ropus smiled disdainfully. Shouldn’t the undead creatures give priority to the safety of the necromancer?

Why was he able to throw the axe without hesitation even when he was close to Cardin? Although I couldn't understand it, thinking too long would slow down the body.

As Ropus thought this, he quickly stopped and jumped to the side. If he could block it with a shield, it would be enough.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Is it necessary to deliberately block the axe that is flying like a tearing wind? And there is a black halo wrapped around the axe blade.

Ropus dodged the axe by jumping to the side. But that was strange. Even Cardan would have been seriously injured if he was hit by a flying axe.

If it is an axe surrounded by a halo, it cannot be blocked by simple shield magic.

"Does he want to die at the hands of the undead creatures he summoned? What's going on?" Instead of dodging, Cardan ran towards the flying axe.

"Sure enough, he's not just an ordinary necromancer." The reason the Death Knight threw the axe wasn't because it was dangerous to attack Ropus. Cardan caught the flying axe easily.

Swish, swish, swish! Then he swung the terrible axe wrapped in the halo at Ropus. Unexpectedly, the necromancer would grab the halo weapon thrown by the death knight and swing it directly.

Ahhhh! Rops raised his shield quickly in panic. Cardan's movements were different from what Rops imagined an ordinary necromancer to be. As powerful as a knight, as fast as an assassin.

"Damn it!" Seeing the necromancer wielding an axe surrounded by a halo, Ropus gritted his teeth, held the shield close to his body, and rushed forward.

Boom! The sudden charge attack knocked Cardin back by the shield.

"Wow, it feels like I was hit by a mountain," he said in surprise, the impact of the shield being hit was greater than he had imagined.

"So what are you going to do?" Cardin, who was pushed back, looked at Ropus with a smile. Then Ropus looked at Cardin with a look of "What are you talking about?"

"I want to see how that guy performs this time." The next words were also confusing.

"If you defeat that guy, I'll give you a chance to fight me." Cardin said this and activated his magic power.

CRACK! CRACK! Bones emerged from the ground and began to form some kind of shape.

Snap! The bones summoned from the ground eventually turned into a huge round iron cage.

"What is this?" Only the Death Knights Karlock and Rops were left in the iron cage.

"This is the cage. I'll cheer you on, fight hard."

"what?"

"By the way, although this arena is made of bones and looks easy to break, it won't be like that here." Then, let's defeat the Death Knight in front of us.

Cardan said this, and crossed his arms easily. Ropus sneered at the Death Knight in front of him. Ogre Death Knight. Ropus said with a disdainful smile.

"Okay. All we have to do is beat this guy, right?" Ropes asked, slowly relaxing his body.

"No." Cardan sneered and shook his finger. Snap! Then, death knights appeared around the circular arena made of bones.

"It's my turn next!"

"An honorable duel!"

"Master! Give me a chance too!" They shouted to Cardan, indicating that they wanted to fight.

"You are kidding me now?" Cardin said to a confused Ropes.

"Just defeat five of them. Then I'll fight you."
