Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Whoosh! A shadow quickly and stealthily slipped out from the miners' dormitory. The shadow walked towards the dark mine, and soon, deep in the mine, a red light flashed.

"Are you crazy?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. Talking in the mines will echo."

"Then why are you here!"

"I didn't want to come."

"That?"

"Caught."

"Caught? You got caught on purpose!" Cardin, the owner of the shadow, motioned for silence.

Luna's face turned red with anger, she took a deep breath, and then looked at Cardin coldly.

"So, you were just walking down the street and someone showed up and kidnapped you here?"

"Yes. I was brought here right away, and then I was given a pickaxe and asked to work." Hearing Cardin's answer, Luna laughed disdainfully.

"So you've been working all day today?"

"Yeah, it's a bit of exercise, isn't it?"

"What on earth were you thinking? You risked your life to come here, don't you know how dangerous it is? You are wanted by the demons, did you know that?"

According to Lord Radomir, who was once a demon, a bounty has been placed on Cardan's head.

In other words, Cardin was wanted, sneaked into the enemy's lair, and pretended to be kidnapped.

"Luckily I wasn't discovered. I didn't resist when I was caught."

"Are you showing off? Have you ever thought about running away?" Luna asked out of curiosity, and Cardin smiled and nodded.

"Now that I've been caught, I plan to see how this place works." After all, it would not be difficult for Cardin to escape from such a laxly guarded place.

"Are you going to fight the demons in this city?"

"I don't know yet. I've only been captured for less than a day and I don't have any information." How can I have the time to get information when I'm just swinging a pickaxe all day?

The information that Cardan got was that the humans in this city were enslaved by the demons and were just working.

If people died and there was a shortage of labor, they would kidnap refugees from nearby areas and enslave them. That was all.

"But don't worry, I won't cause a riot unnecessarily."

"That sounds reassuring." With Cardin's current strength, he can at least rescue the miners in the mine.

However, the slaves here know that this is not the end. There are also people living as slaves of the demons in the city, and even if they are all rescued, the situation will gradually get worse.

"It seems difficult to expect support from the resistance army or the revolutionary group." Even if there is a battle, there is no confidence to continue to protect the rescued people after the war.

There was no place to take the enslaved citizens to for refuge.

“It’s not possible to ask Mr. Jed for help.” Mercenary King Jed is now busy leading the refugees to the south, so asking him for help is impossible.

In other words, although you can fight, you can't save everyone.

"So you just came in here in such a grand manner?"

"No, I came in to get information. My plan doesn't come together overnight." Cardin said with a relaxed smile.

He was determined to save the city, so there was nothing Luna could do to stop him.

Knowing that she couldn't change his stubbornness, Luna sighed and asked again.

"Then why did you summon me? You didn't just want to chat with me, did you?"

"From today on, would you like to take a walk with me every night?" Cardin asked with a gentle smile, and Luna looked at him with an incredible expression.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go into the city?"

"Correct." The reason for summoning Luna was to go into the city together and distinguish between demons and humans.

After all, without divine power, humans cannot distinguish between demons and humans. But vampires can easily distinguish between demons and humans.

"Because I can't tell the difference between demons and humans by the smell of blood, I would like to ask for your help." Vampires can not only judge the strength of the opponent by the smell of blood, but also know the opponent's race.

Humans and animals smell good, but demons smell disgusting. Therefore, Cardin summoned Luna to come here in the middle of the night.

"Why don't you try becoming a vampire?" Luna said, looking at his pointed teeth. Cardin smiled easily and shook his head.

"I reject."

"It's impossible to turn you into a vampire anyway."

"By the way, shall we go?" Cardin said this and took out a mask from his pocket.

In the dilapidated temple. Whoosh! Except for the two broken candles, the other candles were lit with green flames.

The green flames grew larger, dispelling the darkness.

Swish, Swish.

Hamilton, wearing a fox mask, leisurely walks out from behind the statue.

"Long time no see." Hamilton waved and greeted.

"Damn pigs and octopuses, they're busy as hell, yet they summon us here, what's the matter?"

"The pig may not know how he died, but the octopus was definitely killed by the guardian. Let us pray for him." Various voices came from the darkness.

"Please be quiet, everyone." Hamilton gestured for everyone to be quiet and smiled easily.

"Fox, you look in a good mood." Then someone said to Hamilton in the darkness.

"The feeling of liberation of no longer having to hide my identity, ah~ it feels so good." Hamilton took off the fox mask he was wearing and smiled brightly.

"Ah? Yes, you are still hiding your identity? It's a pity that no one can understand my feelings."

"Stop teasing us and tell us why you called us in. We're busy." At the warning voice, Hamilton nodded and took a step forward.

Then, the sounds coming from the darkness suddenly stopped, and the temple became quiet.

"It's been three years since we started. How's everyone doing? Any progress?" Hamilton's question made the candle flicker as fiercely as a flame.

"We will focus on increasing our strength according to that person's wishes."

"It's so suffocating! How long are we going to torture humans like this?"

"If we show up, we can wipe out both the Guardians and the Resistance in one fell swoop, right?"

"Are the demons afraid of war?" Faced with countless dissatisfactions, Hamilton expressed his understanding, nodded and raised his hand.

"Okay, everyone calm down. Is this what I mean? This is what that person meant. Now is that person wrong?" As Hamilton spoke with a relaxed smile, the discontented voices in the darkness suddenly stopped.

"We are in no hurry. War makes the demons stronger. The screams of humans will lead us to the path of pleasure. The longer it takes, the better it is for us."

In the temple that had returned to peace, only Hamilton continued to speak in a bright voice.

"Heroes are born in war, and this applies not only to humans." As Hamilton finished speaking, the green flame on the candle gradually went out.

"Sometimes in failed works, there are a few guys who become complete demons through countless battles."

"Well, I am also glad that I have many slaves."

"It's boring, but it's not wrong."

"Heroes will be born in the human race. There should be a solution, right?" Hamilton clapped his hands when he heard the last sentence.

Snapped!

"Good suggestion. This is the countermeasure we gathered everyone for." As soon as the voice fell, the voices in the darkness fell silent again, and Hamilton put on the fox mask again and said.

"You are a valuable fighting force. In the human world, there is only one demon stronger than you." All those gathered here are humans who have transformed into demons.

Therefore, each of them is a valuable fighting force among the demons, and in order to avoid attacks from the guardians and the resistance, they only use their subordinates to fight the war.

"That person said that if this place is like the Demon World, he can't watch you die anymore." Two precious fighting forces have been lost.

"But that person said that now we have to start fighting back as well." Hamilton said meaningfully, and problems began to emerge in the darkness.

"What is counterattack?"

"It doesn't look like we're going to be all out."

"Is there any plan to go out?"

"In terms of strength, it should be me." Once again, the dilapidated temple became noisy, and Hamilton signaled for silence again.

"Although everyone wants to go, this operation must be carried out in secret. Now is not the time to launch a large-scale war."

"Got it. Just name the names. Anyone can go."

"Anything to do?" Hamilton smiled as the two questions were carefully posed.

"The mission is simple. Hunting."

Rustle. Hamilton pulled a sheaf of papers from his pocket.

"We have set a bounty for anyone who gets in the way of our plans. But we can't just trust our subordinates."

"Whether it's the Resistance or the Revolutionary Group, beheadings must be carried out. How about this."

"Yes, that's right. I'll leave this matter to you, Spider."

Swish, Swish.

As soon as Hamilton finished speaking, someone walked out of the darkness.

"It's troublesome, but there's nothing I can do." The man in the spider mask was reluctant but shrugged reluctantly.

"Okay. Who's my first prey? You won't let me choose it myself."

"Since the 'Immortal Fire' that was active in the east, this guy has caused great losses to the demon clan."

"For an exile, this nickname is too exaggerated."

"He is said to be a member of the Revolutionary Group. He is also a former lecturer at the Hero Academy. He is a person who should not be underestimated."

"Well, I'll take that advice. But, do you know this guy's name?" Spider-Mask asked, shaking the wanted poster, and Hamilton smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I'll follow him for now. That guy's magic is pretty powerful." Hamilton said, pointing at the wanted poster.

"Mage Berid. This is the real name of the man known as the 'Eternal Fire'."
