Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Seriban.

The moment his name was heard, the people on the wall fell silent. "If, Seriban..."

“He’s the leader of the Clayton Knights, one of the five great knight orders, right?” The man who rode alone to the city wall to provoke was none other than Seriban Casimir, one of the five men known as the Swords of the Kingdom.

"Didn't they say that all the Knights of Clayton have turned into demons?"

"Could it be that Serliban and his knights have turned into demons and come here?"

"What will happen to the western front now?" Seriban. Just hearing his name, the soldiers guarding the city wall were terrified.

"The leader of the five major knightly orders must be very powerful. Moreover, now that he has obtained the power of the demons..." Seriban must be more powerful than when he was the leader.

"We must remain calm. We must not be fooled by provocations." Cardin was ready to jump at any time, looking at Chick Grimwald standing on the city wall.

His face was twisted with anger and the hand that drew the sword was shaking.

"Chik. How about you also accept the power of the demons?" In the silence with the cold wind blowing, Seriban said with a sneer.

“The moment you accept this power, you can cross the wall that you once thought you could never cross in your lifetime.”

"I don't want to be a dog driven by desire. I would rather choose an honorable death as a knight of the kingdom."

However, Chick Grimwald flatly refused. This refusal even made him feel that it tarnished his honor, and Chick's expression was full of displeasure.

"What a shame. If you accept this power, you can also stand shoulder to shoulder with the Guardians." Seriban shook his head regretfully, clicked his tongue, and opened his mouth with a sharp smile again.

"Then come down. Let me finish your glorious last moment with my own hands." Seriban said, got off the horse and snapped his fingers.

"Are you not a frightened knight hiding behind the city wall?" The subsequent provocation caused the soldiers to whisper, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chick Grimwald.

"Captain! No!"

"Don't be fooled by conspiracy provocations!"

"It's a trap!"

"If anything happens to you, Captain, our defense will be over!" Then, the knights wearing the armor of the Knights of Colinfirth quickly ran towards Chick and began to dissuade him.

"Has the reinforcements not arrived yet?" Chick just turned his head slightly and asked the knight closest to him.

"Yes. No news yet."

"It seems that something has gone wrong with Belid as well." If Belid had used teleportation magic, he should have brought reinforcements quickly, but he didn't.

Time passed and no portal was opened anywhere between the reinforcements and the western front.

"But Belid will find a way to send reinforcements." Chick Grimwald thought so and turned to look at the Knights.

"Reinforcements will arrive. So I will try to delay getting down the wall. This will minimize the damage."

"Captain!"

"This is dangerous!" The knights dissuaded Chick with urgent voices.

The knights of the Order of Collinsfirth knew better than anyone how powerful Chick Grimwald was.

The knights who always watched Chick's back and always went to the battlefield could not have been unaware of his strength. But the opponent was Seriban.

The leaders of the five major knight groups, like Chick, have now even absorbed the power of the demons. It is impossible to imagine Chick's victory.

"I know that too. It wouldn't have been clear three years ago, but now it might be difficult to win," Chick said with a smile.

"But we are knights. We cannot abandon what we are supposed to protect and run away just because we can't win a battle."

Fortunately, Seriban provoked first, trying to turn the large-scale war into a battle led by both sides. Since he took the initiative to buy time, he could not be refused.

"Chris." Chick said gently as he looked at Chris who was forcing a smile.

"Yes, Captain."

"If I die, I will hand over the command of this war to you. Vice-captain Maximus is also dead, so you will become the captain."

"But!" "I said if. I'm not dead yet." Chick smiled kindly and turned to look at the city wall again.

"Have fun and come back."

Bang! After saying that, Chick jumped down to the city wall.

The Revolutionary Corps base near the city of Douglas. Belid and Joan fell out of the huge portal.

"Is everyone safe?" As soon as Belid came out of the portal, he immediately checked on the survivors of Radames he had sent earlier.

Joan quickly confirmed the number of people, then looked at Belid and nodded.

"Bellid. They are all here." What we need to do now is to send the survivors to Douglas and request reinforcements.

"Joan. We'll set off right away." Belid said, turning around and extending his hand, facing the portal.

Just as she activated her magic to close the portal.

Whoosh! A sharp sword suddenly stabbed out from the other side of the portal.

"What?" Faced with the sudden attack, Belid quickly retreated.

"Ouch..." A man began to slowly walk out of the portal.

"It's almost too late. We're lucky to have made it here before the portal closed." The man sneered as he looked at the people gathered in the camp.

“Wow! There are so many prey here? Is this a windfall?” The man licked his lips, looked at the people, and then smiled happily.

"Who are you!" Joan quickly pulled out the arrow and asked threateningly, and the soldiers guarding the survivors' camp also quickly drew their weapons.

"who I am."

Whoosh!

"It's the enemy." The man immediately drew his sword, and his sword flashed with a dark red light that symbolized the power of the demons.

"Demon, demon!"

"It's the demons!" The survivors who saw him screamed in fear, and the revolutionary base was suddenly in chaos.

"Joan! Focus on protecting the survivors with the soldiers!"

"Yes, Belid!"

Belid shouted quickly, activating his magic power.

"Damn it. Too careless. How on earth did the demons get through the portal?" Belid frowned, seeming to be in trouble. The man sneered and spoke.

"Hey, you're the Undying Flame, right? You're probably the one who's been seen using teleportation-related magic freely these days."

Belid didn't seem to hear what the man said and continued to think.

"I clearly didn't sense any other person's presence?" If this demon was hiding in the survivors' camp or nearby, there was no way Luna would not have noticed it.

She would definitely smell the scent of the demons and be on guard, or track the scent to find the demons. But how could the demons suddenly appear?

"Ah? Are you curious about how I got here?" the man sneered.

"Not only do I have a good magical perception ability, but my speed is also beyond imagination."

He said that he was wandering around the city of Radames, simply conducting reconnaissance, and suddenly felt a huge fluctuation of magical power in the forest in the distance.

"So I ran over there. I thought there should be prey, right? And then oh? There's a portal open?" When he arrived at the survivors' camp, there were no humans to be seen.

It's just that the portal seemed to be shaking uneasily, as if it was about to close.

"Can I just come over here? There was a human scent vibrating, so I came over here."

The man exaggeratedly described how he discovered the portal and how he passed through it.

"I didn't expect him to go through the portal." Belid bit his lower lip and looked around.

"It's not too far from the city. I have to stop this guy here anyway." Douglas is the base of the resistance.

Even if a demon breaks in, it won't cause much damage. But the opponent is a fast-moving demon.

If this demon carries Douglas' information back to where the demons are, it would be equivalent to naturally transmitting the information here.

And in the process, helpless humans who encounter this demon will face meaningless deaths.

"We must kill him here." Belid made up his mind and immediately created a ball of fire in the air and shot it towards the man.

"Joan! Take everyone and hide! Go into the city and ask for support!" Belied shouted, trying to teleport people collectively.

Whoosh! But before she could use magic, a sharp sword appeared in front of Belid.

Click!

In an instant, the sword swung towards her, and Belid lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Fast." The demon race's specialty is speed. Even Belid, who is good at teleportation, is a tough opponent.

"No one leave. You are all my food. Try to move. You are delicious when alive, but you will also taste bad if you kill you. So I will kill you."

The man smiled maliciously and pointed at people.

"Ah! Anyone who can run faster than me should run. But if you are caught, you will die?"

After hearing the man's words, the survivors seemed to be frozen and stopped moving.

"Eternal Fire. You can escape by yourself, right? I will let you go." The man licked the sword in his hand and said provocatively.

"It's hard for one person to protect everyone." Before he could use magic, the demons quickly closed the distance.

"I have to make him focus on me." If the man does not target Belid but the survivors, Belid will have to focus on protecting the survivors.

Whoosh! She could only keep attacking, unable to catch her breath. Belid quickly made arrows out of fire and shot them at the man.

"Do you think this will work?" However, the man dodged the arrow easily and rushed towards Belid.

Whoosh! The man quickly closed the distance again, swinging his sword quickly.

Poof! Belid reflexively used teleportation magic to distance himself from the man, and at the same time reached out his hand to the ground under the man's feet.

Rumble!

The ground under the man's feet suddenly exploded with flames, but, "Oops!" The man jumped up easily again and dodged the magic.

"Tsk. There are too many people." This was the moment when the weakness of the magician with powerful firepower was exposed.

If you use powerful magic, it will obviously cause harm to friendly forces.

Therefore, he can only be dealt with by magic with weaker firepower, but the opponent is a demon.

Not the kind of opponent who can be knocked down with a painless attack.

“What should we do?” The man, no, the demon seemed to know this as well and chuckled.

"What do you want to do? You can't even use magic properly, how can you defeat me? Don't you know?" Facing the provocation of the demons, Belid smiled bitterly and activated his magic power again.

"Still want to use magic? It's useless? I'm standing here, what do you want to do?" The demon sneered and stuck close to the terrified survivor.

"If I dodge, will this guy die?"

"Help, help..." The survivor standing next to the demon pleaded tremblingly, and the demon replied by stroking his face.

"You shouldn't be telling me this, you should be telling the Undying Fire."

"Ok?"

"If magic flies over, I will run away. You are not allowed to move at all. If you move, understand?" The demon raised his sword and threatened the survivor's neck. Belid raised his hands to show that he had no intention of attacking.

"I surrender. Let that man go."

"Surrender? Surrender to the demons? Beg for your life?"

"If you take my life, your dear demon will reward you. I will hand over my life and release these people." Belid said through clenched teeth, and the demon chuckled and walked closer to her.

"Then, just commit suicide."

"What?" Clank! The demon pulled out a dagger from his waist and threw it in front of Belid.

"If I get close to you, you might use self-destruct magic and end your life. In that case, I will leave about half of the people alive."

Belid picked up the dagger tremblingly, and the demons laughed.

"It's not easy to be a hero, right? The enemy is right in front of you, people might die, but you can't even cast a single spell?"

"Abide by the agreement." Belid ignored the ridicule of the demons, looked at the dagger, and sighed.

Then she seemed to make up her mind, held the dagger in both hands, and swung it towards her abdomen.

Whoosh! A huge ice wall suddenly appeared between the survivors and the demons.

“What?” The demon looked around, panicked, and activated his magic power again.

"What is that, what is that. Alvis, you handle it." Then a cold woman's voice came from the other side of the ice wall.

"Yes!" After hearing someone's answer.

Whoosh! A bolt of lightning fell from the dry sky.
