Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Deep in the forest near Luban City, the sunlight shines through the sparse treetops, casting mottled shadows.

Wilson, the chief of the Eastern Branch of the Revolutionary Corps, stood in front of the crowd with a relieved smile on his face.

In the open space behind him, there was a group of tired and confused people gathered. They were residents who were teleported from the city of Robain through the portal.

"What a historic day." Wilson muttered to himself, looking across the crowd with a hint of emotion in his eyes.

The city of Robain was the first place occupied by the demons three years ago. As the northernmost city in the kingdom, it has always been firmly controlled by the demons, and neither the resistance army nor the revolutionary group can turn the tide.

However, just last night, a young necromancer suddenly appeared and rescued all the residents of Robain City overnight.

He easily accomplished tasks that people thought were impossible.

"It's all thanks to that young necromancer." Wilson shook his head with a wry smile, turned and walked towards the crowd.

"This is the base of the Revolutionary Group! It's a safe place, so you can rest assured! If you sit down, we will distribute water and food!"

Members of the Revolutionary Group were busy throughout the camp, shouting to the residents of Robain.

Fortunately, the residents sat down obediently and followed the members' instructions.

At the beginning, they were wary of the revolutionary group. After all, they had been living under the oppression of the demons for three years and had long lost their trust in "peace" and "security".

But as time went on, the demons did not appear and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

"When will they ever remember words like 'peace' and 'security'?" Wilson looked at the residents of Roebourne with a bitter expression.

For them, the fresh morning air and chirping birds in the forest may have been a source of fear.

However, under the careful care of the revolutionary group members, they finally showed a calm expression on their faces.

"Puff!" At this moment, a dazzling light flashed, and a group of people appeared in the open space next to the camp.

Wilson immediately stood up and gave orders to the members: "This time they are also people imprisoned in prison, bring them here carefully!"

However, a voice interrupted him: "Everyone, don't move!"

The man who appeared along with the light warned the approaching members of the Revolutionary Group.

The members stopped and looked at the person who was teleported over with caution.

"what!"

"Then, what is that?"

"Why are the demons here?"

A blood-red aura emanated from the people, as if emitting an ominous warning.

The members of the revolutionary group drew their weapons and prepared to fight, but they soon discovered that these people posed no threat.

They were all tied up with bloody chains and struggled frantically but could not break free.

"Let me go right now!"

"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"

"Even though he's tied up, it's still dangerous to get close. So please prevent others from getting close."

A burly man with blue hair spoke solemnly to the members.

"Can I ask who you are?" Wilson walked out from among the members and looked directly at the blue-haired man.

"It's an honor to meet you, Branch Chief Wilson. I am Knight Cloze of the Resistance."

Klose smiled and introduced himself. When the members of the Revolutionary Group heard the name, their eyes widened.

"What did you say your name was?"

"Kloser, the Shield of Good Will?"

"Why is the Shield of Goodwill here?"

Klose's reputation had already spread far and wide, and even the members of the revolutionary group were familiar with him.

Wilson pointed at Luna, who was resting on the grass, and asked in a panicked and angry voice, "Is that young man also in prison?"

Klose turned back to check on Luna, then sneered and replied: "No, she is the one who helped us a lot in this operation. Don't worry."

He waved his hand to signal everyone to step back. At this moment, the people tied up by the blood-red chains opened their blood-red eyes.

Shouting to a woman, "Hey! Woman over there! Let this go right now!"

"I'll kill you first! I'll kill you first!"

Where they were looking stood Valentina, her expression unhappy.

"Ms. Luna, are you too noisy? Do you want to shut your mouth?" Valentina asked cautiously as she looked at Luna who was sitting on the ground resting.

Luna shook her head impatiently, "It's a good idea. But Cardin might be unhappy, so forget it."

"Okay. I understand." After Valentina answered, she looked at the people tied up with bloody chains.

"Tsk. You used too much force." Luna sighed deeply and looked at her hands.

Her hands were covered with wounds, and not just her hands, her face was also covered with tiny wounds, and her clothes were torn.

"I want to change clothes too..." Luna, looking very tired, just lay down on the grass.

"Are you okay?" Klose walked closer to Luna and asked with concern.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Luna said, closing her eyes tiredly, "We can deal with those friends when Cardin comes. I can't use my strength now."

Klose seemed to have a lot of questions to ask, but looking at the tired Luna, he finally chose to remain silent.

"I understand. Then you should take a rest first." He nodded and stood up from his seat calmly.

"Yes. Impolite. It's right to wait now." Klose sighed briefly and looked at the sky which was gradually getting brighter.

"Vampires. A powerful race." Then he slowly closed his eyes and recalled what happened in prison.

The demons that appeared at the end of the prison were of the highest level, and even seven-star knights found it difficult to fight against them.

The situation could have been much more dangerous if Belid hadn't had to use magic.

Klose had also thought that if the situation was critical, he would be willing to rush towards the highest level demon, even if it meant sacrificing himself...

However, the first one to rush towards the demons was Luna, who was emitting a bloody aura.

Her figure was like a flash of red lightning, and she instantly rushed towards the powerful enemy.

Soon, a fierce battle broke out.

"Is it Cardan's undead spirit? How strong is Cardan now?"

The onlookers speculated secretly in their hearts. If they faced off again, no one could predict the outcome.

But everyone knows that the truly scary person is Cardin.

At this moment, a dazzling light flashed again in the open space next to the camp.

Cardan and Belid appeared in the light, and Cardan seemed to not care about the eyes cast on him.

He sat on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "I survived."

"Kadan, what is that guy?" Belid's face was pale and there was a hint of trembling in his voice.

In order to teleport Cardin over, he felt a suffocating threatening aura for a moment.

From the moment he felt that breath, the only thought in his mind was to escape quickly.

Whatever the situation, he had to teleport Cardin here immediately.

"A demon wearing a mask. Probably a demon with similar powers to Hamilton."

Cardin sighed tiredly and whispered, "He was one of the demon cadres... Thanks to the teacher, I survived. If it was any later, I might have really died."

Having used a large amount of magic power in a short period of time, Cardin felt as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.

Although he wanted to lie down right now, he had to struggle to stand up after hearing what Belid said next.

"Kadan, thanks to you, we were able to rescue everyone." Belid pointed to the revolutionary group's base and the people gathered there, with a hint of gratitude in his tone.

"I've done a lot of good things, too." Cardin smiled bitterly in his heart.

In his previous life, during his gangster years, he never sacrificed or took risks for people who had nothing to do with him.

He only fights hard for the organization and the boss.

"If my boss saw me like this, he would be amazed."

Thinking of his past boss, Cardin smiled slightly, then looked at Belid and asked, "Have all the people in the city been rescued?"

"Yes. Miners, slaves, and people in prison." Belid nodded.

"Oh, by the way, Luna said that a nasty guy showed up?" Luna's words suddenly popped into Cardin's mind, and he quickly looked around.

"That vampire is lying over there resting. If it weren't for that vampire, we might have been wiped out." Cardin tilted his head and looked at Berlid.

"Has a powerful demon appeared?" Cardan frowned.

"Yes. It was a demon with the highest level of power, but that vampire... No, Luna dealt with it. She might have been tired from that battle." Belid explained.

Cardin nodded in understanding and turned to look at Luna who was resting.

Just then, Valentina came into view, and then he discovered the people tied up with bloody chains.

"Teacher, who are those people?" Cardin asked. The people tied up by chains all exuded an ominous blood-red aura, just like demons.

"Are we too late?" Cardin asked cautiously. Belid nodded and replied, "According to Luna, they did not become demons, nor did they undergo demonization."

"But why..." Cardin frowned.

"I'm not sure either. It's best to ask Luna for the specific situation. Luna sent everyone here the moment she defeated the highest-level demon." Belid pointed at Luna, and Cardin immediately walked towards her.

"Luna, I'm here." Cardin said softly. Hearing Cardin's voice, Luna slowly opened her eyes, stretched out her little hand and shook it gently:

"Hello."

"I heard you had a hard time? You've worked hard." Cardin smiled slightly.

"I'm tired. I want to go home early." Luna stood up slowly and rubbed her eyes with both hands.

"Luna, what happened to those people?" Cardin asked, pointing at the people tied up with bloody chains.

Luna sighed: "It seems that there are demons in that city who are good at illusion magic."

"Illusion magic?" Cardin frowned.

"Yes. Those people are dominated by the demons. The reason why they can feel the breath of the demons is because of the illusion magic. It is possible that the demons who cast the illusion magic also share the power of the demons." Luna stood up and Cardin bent down to look at her at eye level.

"So what should we do? They still seem confused." Cardin asked.

"The demon that cast the illusion magic must remove the magic himself, or use a stronger illusion magic to remove the magic."

Luna smiled, "Of course we're going to do the second one."

"Stronger illusion magic?" Cardin was a little surprised.

"Yes. Speaking of which."

Luna held out a hand and continued, "Give me blood."
