Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"It looks like you've had a tough battle." Cardin observed Luna's face with a bitter expression.

Her originally clean skin was covered with tiny wounds, and there was blood at the corners of her mouth.

"If that annoying guy hadn't shown up at the end, I could have unleashed the magic right then and there." Luna pouted, seeming very angry.

Puff. Cardin stroked her head carefully and smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work. So, your strength is not enough to remove the magic on those people?" Luna nodded, and Cardin immediately drew his dagger and cut the back of his hand.

Tick, tick. The blood flowing from the back of his hand condensed into a solid entity under the effect of Cardin's magic.

"Is this enough?" Cardin asked Luna when the blood condensed to the size of a baseball.

"Yeah, just right." Luna looked at the entity made of blood and swallowed. After seeing Cardin nod, she quickly absorbed Cardin's blood.

Hiss—— After absorbing the blood, wind blew around her and her eyes began to glow red.

"It will be over soon." Luna turned and walked towards Valentina.

"Got it. Is the magic enough?"

"Yes, Miss Luna. I'm fine." After Valentina nodded, Luna turned her gaze to the people tied up with bloody chains.

Snap—— In an instant, wings made of blood grew behind Luna. Small wings like bat wings.

Plop. The small wings that seemed to be not strong enough to support the body flapped, and Luna's body slowly floated into the air.

Everyone around held their breath and stared at Luna.

"Please..." Klose clenched his fists and stared at Luna.

"I didn't expect that I could see vampire magic so close..." Belid looked at Luna expectantly.

All eyes, filled with worry and expectation, were focused on Luna, but Luna seemed to ignore them completely and began to move slowly.

"Get away! Disappear! Dirty vampire!" he yelled frantically as Luna approached the person closest to her.

"Shut up before I hit you." Luna said coldly, raising her hand above his head.

"Don't avoid my eyes." Luna raised her hands above his head and stared at the man with a stern look.

Then, a bloody aura began to emanate from Luna's hand.

"Oh?" Belid noticed something was wrong with the man and moved his body in surprise.

The pupils that had turned black gradually returned to their original state, and the blood-red aura around him also began to gradually disappear. This did not last long.

When the blood-colored aura devoured the blood-red aura, the demon clan's illusion magic was quickly dispelled.

"Where is this?" The man came to his senses and looked around with panicked eyes.

"Demon, demon!" He screamed in horror when he saw Luna in front of him.

"I'm not a demon." Luna pouted and tapped the man's head gently.

Boom—a lovely sound was heard, but the pain it conveyed was enough to silence the man.

"Hmph." Just like that, Luna untied the demons' illusion magic one by one.

"It's over!" Soon, all the people who were chained regained their senses.

When everyone returned to normal, the blood wings that grew behind Luna disappeared. Luna slowly landed on the ground and looked at Valentina.

"Unchain me?" Valentina asked, thanking her for her hard work.

"Yeah. It's okay now. Let's finish quickly and go back. I want to lie down. I want to sleep." After getting Luna's permission, Valentina lowered her open hand.

Clang! The chains holding people lost their strength and fell to the ground.

Hiss. The bloody chain fell to the ground and disappeared in red smoke.

"Cardan. It's all over. They've all been under the spell of illusion, and because of moving unconsciously, their energy has been exhausted." Luna immediately walked to Cardan and said with satisfaction, while Cardan looked at Luna with a worried look.

Although it looked like simple magic, it definitely consumed a lot of physical strength and magic power.

"Are you ok?"

"Just take a rest. So it's best not to encounter demons in the short term." Luna smiled and comforted Cardin, gently poking the back of his hand.

"I also plan to take a break in the short term."

"That's good. Also, be careful of demons using illusion magic."

"Is it the demon that cast the illusion magic on those people?"

"Yes. Illusion magic is stronger than I thought. The demons who use illusion magic are very cunning and difficult to deal with. If that guy is determined to use illusion magic..."

Luna looked back at the people who were just controlled by the demons.

"We might have to kill those people ourselves." Cardin swallowed unconsciously at her words.

“Is it that strong?”

"Rather than being strong, they are more difficult to deal with. Because we don't know how they will attack, it is also unclear how to deal with them."

Luna said seriously, looking at Cardin before warning.

"Fighting with a guy who uses illusion magic is a test of mental strength. So stay alert and don't be too confident."

Luna glared at him sternly, and Cardin chuckled and nodded.

"Got it. You've worked hard. Go back and rest." Cardin patted Luna's shoulder. Luna nodded and looked at Valentina.

"Let's go back." Hearing this, Valentina smiled brightly and walked towards Luna.

"Um, Teacher Valentina?"

Just then, Belid hurried over to Valentina and greeted her.

"It was an emergency, and we haven't had time to have a proper chat. Nice to meet you, Mr. Belid. We haven't seen each other for three years, right?"

"Yes. Have you always been a vampire? Since you came to the academy?" There seemed to be no time for a long conversation, so Belid got straight to the point.

"No. At that time, I was just a human being in the process of becoming a demon."

"What?" "Then I met Luna and started a new life. A very satisfying and happy life." Looking closely, Valentina's face seemed to change subtly.

The skin became smoother, the hair became healthy and shiny, the facial features became clearer, and she became a beautiful woman.

"How is Mr. Belid? He still looks strong. No, he looks stronger than he was three years ago."

"I didn't participate in the battle during this operation?" "After becoming a vampire, I can vaguely feel the strength of the opponent." Valentina said with a smile.

"Teacher Belid, don't you want to become a vampire?" Belid smiled bitterly and shook his head at Valentina's suggestion.

"No, I will continue to live as a human. I prefer it that way."

"I'm kidding. Being a vampire has its own inconveniences. So I don't recommend it." Then Valentina shook her head with a charming smile.

"Anyway, it was nice to meet you. See you next time we get a chance. I have to go see what Luna wants me to do."

"Oh, okay. Nice to meet you." Belid watched Valentina leave with a nervous expression.

Valentina immediately walked over to Luna, who reached out her little hand and took it.

"Well, goodbye." Luna waved and conveyed her greetings to Cardin.

Poof! In a flash of red light, Luna and Valentina disappeared.

As he stared in amazement at the place where Luna and Valentina disappeared, Klose's voice came over.

"Lucas! Arad!" Klose hurriedly walked towards Lucas and Arad, and both of them looked at Klose blankly.

"Klose? Why are you here?"

"No, more importantly, where is this?" The two still seemed to be in shock.

No, it looks like they haven't woken up to reality yet.

"This is the base of the Revolutionary Group. Are you both okay? Are you in any pain?"

"Uh, the Revolutionary Group base?"

"Why are we here? Aren't we locked up in prison?" The two asked in panic. Belid slowly approached and gently tapped their heads.

"what!"

"cough!"

"Wake up!" Hearing the familiar and kind voice, the pain in my head quickly disappeared.

"Be-Teacher Belid?"

"teacher!"

"Long time no see. Glad to see you're all safe." Belid smiled and patted the two on the shoulders. Lucas and Arad's eyes quickly became bloodshot.

"It was the teacher who saved us!"

"It's so scary! A strange demon appeared and said we were experimental subjects. It kept casting strange magic on us. We were captured and couldn't resist normally!"

The two of them kept talking, like little kids telling their mother what happened in kindergarten.

"I get it. I get it. We'll talk more about this later. You need to rest."

At this time, the two of them did not look very good. Although they did not feel it under the power of the demons, after the power disappeared, their cheeks became sunken and their eye circles became dark.

Looking at the pale faces of the two men, Belid hurriedly used some magic power and cast a recovery spell.

"Hmm? Wait a minute. Isn't that Cardin?"

"What? Cardan? Where is Cardan... Cardan!" Lucas and Arad, who were receiving recovery magic, discovered Cardan and called him in surprise.

Hearing that voice, Cardin approached cautiously and greeted the two respectfully.

"Long time no see. Are you all right?"

"Cardan! It's been a long time since we last met!"

"Cardan! How are you doing recently? You've become more handsome!" Lucas and Arad forgot about the loss of their own strength and greeted Cardan with cheerful smiles.

"Thanks to Cardin and Teacher Belid, we were saved. I didn't do anything." Klose next to him patted Cardin on the shoulder and said to Lucas and Arad.

"Thank you, thank you for saving us!"

"Thank you!" Then the people around began to express their gratitude to Cardan and Belid loudly.

"The Undying Flame saved us!"

"The unknown hero saved us!" Their voices grew louder and louder, and even the Robain residents hiding in the camp began to approach.

At first they approached cautiously, observing the situation, but when they learned that Cardan and Belid had saved them, they began to express their gratitude with tears.

"Thanks to you, we are free!"

"I am free for the first time in three years! Thank you!"

"I will never forget this kindness!" The people in miners' uniforms pointed at Cardin and Klose and shouted in surprise.

"Isn't that the new guy who worked like crazy in the mines and then disappeared?"

"Is that big new guy the hero of the Resistance, the Shield of Good Will?"

"He sneaked into the mines to save us!"

"Thank you for saving us!" Strangely, when they expressed their gratitude one after another, the sun hiding behind the clouds showed its face.

As if blessing the residents of Lubaien for their liberation from the demons, the warm sunlight shone upon them.

"I hope that nickname won't..." When people shouted the immortal flame, Belid lowered his head with a red face.

"I didn't do anything special. Please thank these two." Klose smiled and applauded Cardin and Belid.

"This feeling is not bad." Although Cardin felt embarrassed and his ears turned red, an indescribable sense of satisfaction made the corners of his mouth rise continuously.

"Although Huang Peng's life is very similar to Kadan's, life here seems brighter."
