Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Path of the Dead. A high-level curse magic of the necromancer that turns a certain area into a realm of death.

Although this is a famous magic among Necromancers, there are very few Necromancers who can actually use it.

Because... "What a ridiculous guy. He was trapped by his own magic."

The magic of the Road of the Dead can even affect the caster, the Necromancer.

As a result, this magic is so inefficient that no necromancer can properly master it, and even if they know it, they would not use it.

Gah! Cardan's body was also attached to the hands of the dead, and he could not move forward.

"Foolish fellow. It seems you made the wrong choice." The demon sneered as he looked at Cardan who was caught by the hand of the dead.

Woohoo! Suddenly, a black airflow flowed out from the demon's body.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! A magic circle formed around Cardin, and sword-like spider silk shot towards him at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, a black armored knight suddenly appeared and blocked the magic of the demon with his shield.

"Death Knight?" There was more than one Death Knight.

"For the monarch!"

"This is a place that smells like death!"

"Protect the monarch!" There were 10 Death Knights surrounded by dark green flames. The Death Knights seemed to be immune to the magical effect of "Road of the Dead".

They themselves were dead. The hands of the dead did not reach out, they moved freely, protecting Cardan.

Clang! Clang! The Death Knight, whose entire body was covered in green flames, blocked the attack of the spider silk, and the demon groaned briefly.

"He's a pretty capable guy. He's completely different from the Hamilton I heard about before."

"You seem to be weaker than the other masked demons." Cardin smiled calmly even though he was grabbed by the dead man's hand.

There was no trace of defeat depicted on his face.

"Do you think I will be trapped in this kind of magic?" The demon sneered and shook his head. Soon, a dark red ominous aura began to surge from his body.

"Do you think that if you reveal your true face, the hands of the dead will let you go?"

"They are all dead anyway." Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Suddenly, the demon's body began to bend strangely, and a creepy sound was heard.

Boom! Whoosh! Crunch! Along with strange sounds, the demon's body gradually grew larger, and eight legs grew on his back.

"The temperament and the mask match perfectly." Even when the demon revealed his true face, Cardin remained calm. He showed no surprise or fear at all.

Just like a spectator, he just watched the changes of the demon. Soon, the demon's mask fell off, revealing a hideous spider face.

"Don't be so proud, Necromancer. Do you think the demons will be easily troubled by magic created by humans?"

Whoosh! The demon that had transformed into a giant spider stretched its legs.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! A huge pillar made of spider silk appeared on the ground.

Creak! Creak! The moment the pillar stood up, spider silk shot out from the top.

"Create a domain that belongs only to me within your domain!" Soon, a huge spider's nest was completed between the huge pillars.

Small spiders began to quickly crawl out of the giant spider's body.

"It's a spider indeed. It's quite good at building nests." Cardan observed the spider nest built by the demon with an admiring expression.

At the center of the spider nest is a demon that has transformed into a giant spider.

Chi Chi! The little spiders around it made threatening noises and looked as if they were about to pounce.

"My children, kill that arrogant human and bring him to me." The spider demon in the center laughed hoarsely and gave orders to the little spiders.

Crunch! The little spiders jumped off the spider silk and rushed towards Cardin at an extremely fast speed.

"I think you seem to have some misunderstanding, so I'm telling you." Cardin looked at the little spider flying over and continued.

"Don't think that the hands of the dead can't touch you just because you're out of the ground." Cardin's words fell.

Crunch! The hand of the dead suddenly stretched out from the void and grabbed the little spider.

Boom! He fell directly to the ground.

"This is the world of the dead. Living things are not allowed to enter." Looking at the little spider that was pulled to the ground by the hands of the dead, Cardin said lightly.

"Whether it's a demon or a spider, as long as it's attached to life, it's the same. You can't be free as long as you're alive." As soon as he finished speaking, the hand of the dead appeared horribly next to the spider demon.

Crack! But a dark red aura appeared on the spider demon, blocking the dead man's hand.

"Thank you for your arrogant advice, foolish human." Using spider silk, the spider demon quickly approached Cardan.

At the same time, the Hands of the Dead appeared, trying to stop the demons' advance.

Crack! Crack! But he couldn't catch the body surrounded by the demonic aura.

"It seems like you're using your strength reluctantly?" Cardin sneered as he looked at the rapidly approaching spider demon.

Judging from the situation, the captured Cardan seems to be at a disadvantage compared to the free-ranging Spider Demons.

But how could he be so calm, no, how could he show such a teasing smile?

"What?" The demons were confused.

Whoosh! Blood flowed from Cardin's hand, and the blood immediately floated in the air and turned into the shape of the Grim Reaper.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh! The blood that had transformed into the shape of the Grim Reaper immediately began to be absorbed by Cardin.

A red light flowed around Cardin's body, and the hands that were holding him began to let go.

"Oh, how is this possible?" The spider demon who saw this scene was instantly panicked and stopped.

Why would the dead man let go of the living Cardin?

"Here, the only existence that the dead fear is the one who reaps death." Soon, Cardan broke free from his restraints and rushed towards the stopped spider demon.

The attack was blocked, but one of the demon's legs was chopped off.

"Damn it!" the demon screamed and quickly jumped back, putting some distance between himself and Cardin.

"It's impossible to be so strong even if you have completed the transformation into the God of Death!" Does human magic exist that can instantly cut off the body of the highest-level demon?

"Has this guy become more powerful here? Damn, I was careless." This is unbelievable.

Why can the necromancer's magic cut into the body of the demon?

"By the way, the Path of the Dead is a realm that harvests death. That is to say."

"This is my territory now." Cardan raised the Blood Scythe and swung it hard again.

Crack! The spider demon gathered all its strength and blocked Cardan's sickle with its legs. Perhaps because the demon's aura was all gathered together, the legs were not cut off this time.

"Your mind works quickly, doesn't it?"

"It takes a lot of mana to maintain this level of magic, right? You can't last too long in your current state, right?" The demon shrugged and swung a leg at Cardin.

Whoosh! Cardan blocked the demon's legs with his blood sickle and leaped back.

Whoosh! The demon's attack flew through the air in vain.

"This is indeed a magic that consumes a lot of magic power. In my current state, it will be difficult to maintain it for more than two minutes." Cardin, who had distanced himself, seemed to agree with the demon's words and nodded.

"Just maintaining it is difficult enough, and using magic is really a hassle. So..." Cardin frowned, then smiled again and raised the Blood Scythe.

"Let's make a bet to see who falls first?"

"What?" Snap! The moment the demon answered, Cardin swung the blood sickle easily. The blood sickle led the little spider caught by the hand of the dead to death.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Cardin smiled easily and pointed at the crimson sphere that appeared above the little spider.

"Reach out your hand in the air?" To the demons who couldn't see the soul crystals, Cardin just reached out his hand in the air.

"Hmm? Ah, no, what is this?" Cardin stretched his hand into the air and something changed. The blood sickle that had shrunk over time became sharp again.

"What did you do?" Cardin smiled more relaxedly than before. It was like seeing someone who had just woken up. The ominous atmosphere made the demon's back shiver.

"I don't have the confidence." Cardin used the soul orb left behind by the little spider after his death to restore his magic power, and looked at the spider demon with a relaxed smile.

"Damn it." The spider demon smiled bitterly and retreated.

"Where on earth did he go..." Belid, sitting on the ground, looked somewhere and sighed deeply.

Mingming watched as Cardan used Blood Reaper and charged at the demon wearing a spider mask.

Even if he becomes stronger than he was three years ago, I don't think Cardan can defeat the highest level demon.

If necessary, she even prepared magic to use teleportation to send the demons far away. As she thought, the demons easily blocked Cardin's attack with spider silk and began to fight back.

Belid judged that Cardan was in danger, stretched out his hand and used magic, and at this moment, "disappeared." The area around Cardan turned dark green, and soon he disappeared with the demons.

"No matter how talented you are, you can't use teleportation magic." As a veteran of teleportation magic, Belid believed that it was not teleportation magic.

"Is it domain magic?" If it's not teleporting to another place, then there is only one kind of magic that can make Cardan and the demons disappear. That is to create your own domain and suck the opponent into it.

"Can Cardan do it?" Belid, who didn't understand the necromancer's magic, couldn't think of an answer. He frowned and kept hitting his head.

"No, what on earth is that..."

"Human, don't worry too much. Cardan has just entered the Road of the Dead." At that time, Luna, who was sitting on a rock and resting leisurely, said to Belid.

"The Road of the Dead?"

"Necromancer's magic. I don't know much about it. Anyway, if it's Cardin, he will come back safely." So all we have to do is wait quietly. Luna said, and jumped down from the rock.

Luna landed easily and immediately walked towards Belid, sat next to her, and pointed at something.

"Hmm. Looks like it's over." The place Luna pointed to was where Cardin disappeared.

Whoosh! A green light shone from the place where Cardin disappeared, and soon the space began to ripple like water.

Crack! The space was torn apart, and a leg stretched out from there and stepped on the ground. Belied stood up in surprise and activated his magic.

"Calm down. That's Cardin." Luna motioned for Belid to sit down and rest, so that he could calm down. As Luna said, it was Cardin who came out of the torn space.

After Cardan completely came out of the torn space, the torn space returned to its original state.

"Huh." Snap, snap. Cardin clapped his hands softly and looked at where Belid was.

"Long time no see, mentor."
