Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"I'm sorry I'm late, teacher." The blue-haired woman walked up to Belid and greeted him casually.

"It was almost the end. Thank you, Blanche." Bellid smiled and threw away the dagger in his hand.

"You're welcome. How could I not come when you burned the forest like this?" The blue-haired woman, Blanche, pointed at the burning forest sheepishly.

Puff. Then Belid shook his finger, instantly extinguishing the flames burning the forest.

"Have you really become a lady now? What did you eat to become so mature?"

"I'm very mature." Blanche blushed, replied coldly, and turned away.

"Then, why is that guy so fast?" At this time, Alves ran over from somewhere and pointed at the ice wall.

"Long time no see. Alves. How are you?"

"Ah? Hello, teacher!"

"Has Alves become reliable too?"

"Ah, no! I'm still far away." Alves touched the back of his head and showed an embarrassed expression.

"Ah! Now is not the time. What on earth is that demon guy? It's too hard to hit him with magic."

Although Alves cast lightning several times, none of them hit except the initial surprise attack.

If he can even dodge lightning, how fast is he?

"I'll take care of it. Thank you for coming. Alvis, you take care of the survivors. Blanche?"

"Yes."

"Can you help me catch that demon guy?"

"It's not difficult." Blanche nodded immediately and stretched out her hand.

At the same time, the ice wall separating the demons from the survivors grew in size, deformed, and eventually took the shape of a giant box.

"What! Do you think you can catch me with this ice?" Although the angry shouts of the demons came from the other side of the ice wall, Blanche just looked at Belid indifferently.

"You can't go anywhere. The ice wall is not so easy to break." The demon was trapped with the ice wall, and now all we had to do was hunt him.

"Thank you. Ice magicians are truly amazing."

"It's even more amazing to have a teacher who can use teleportation magic freely. Do you need me to open the door?"

"It doesn't matter. Just maintain the ice wall." Hearing Blanche's answer, Belid smiled and immediately used teleportation to disappear behind the ice wall.

"Alves, don't stand there like an idiot, go take care of the survivors." After Belid disappeared, Blanche said coldly to Alves.

"Ah? Ah! I see!" Alves was startled when he heard Blanche's words and quickly ran towards where the survivors gathered.

Blanche, who was left alone, folded her arms, looked at the huge ice wall leisurely, and talked to herself.

"Teacher. You must be very angry."

"It's been five years since we pointed swords at each other like this." Seriban drew the sword from his waist and began to slowly release the power.

"He has indeed changed. He is not the guy I know." Faced with such a Seriban, Chick Grimwald was shocked in his heart and drew his sword.

"At least Guardian level, right?" Just facing him would tell the outcome of this duel. There was no way she could even think of winning.

The moment Serliban released his power, he felt a suffocating sense of oppression and a feeling of fear arose spontaneously.

"It's been a long time since I've been so nervous at this age." Although his fear grew and his hands and feet began to tremble, he had a calm smile on his face.

"Don't think this is a duel between honorable knights. This is a battle of knights hunting ugly demons."

Crash! Chick Grimwald activated his magic, and a strong wind blew around him.

"I know you can't win, but I'm curious."

"If there is something to protect, even if failure is certain, a knight must draw his sword."

"Your death means the end of this war? You know you can't even protect what you can protect, right?"

"I won't be defeated easily." Anyway, among those guarding the western front, no one can deal with Serriban.

Even if Chick could fight him, the others combined would not be able to win.

Poof! Chick and Seriban attacked at the same time.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh! The moment the swords collided, there was a sound like a huge glacier cracking.

Due to the shockwave, the ground where the two knights stood cracked, and even the city walls were blown by strong winds.

"A battle exceeding eight stars..." Cardin blocked the strong wind and was shocked.

The mere collision of swords produced a shock wave strong enough to make all the bones in the body feel tingling.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Is this really the sound of swords colliding? Then there was a series of sounds that could not be produced by the collision of iron and iron.

"Here, what happened?"

"Chi, did Mr. Chick win?"

"I don't know." Ordinary soldiers could not see clearly the battle between the two knights.

In their eyes, they might only see a huge magic sword swinging quickly.

"Mr. Chick still can't compete."

"Seriban has accepted the power of the demons. How can he defeat that monster?" However, people who have reached a certain area can clearly see the battle between the two knights.

Dozens of judgments per second. Irregular movements based on these changes. And Chick is gradually being suppressed.

"If the captain is in danger, we will rush over immediately. Everyone be ready." Chris watched the battle and said to the nearby knights.

"The honor of a knight doesn't matter. Our opponents are demons. We must rescue the captain no matter what."

"Yes!" If the honor of a knight is more precious than life, then what is the use of honor now? Anyway, the opponent is the demon clan.

Killing them and defending the kingdom would further enhance the honor of the knights. Knowing this fact, none of the knights objected and nodded quietly.

"But if the leader dies, no one should step forward." After hearing Chris's words, no one in the Knights responded.

Everyone hoped that this would not happen and didn't even nod.

Cardan also activated his magic power, ready to use spells at any time. If Chike fails, the war will begin immediately.

"Luna, if..."

"Cardan, don't do anything." Cardan wanted to say something, but Luna next to him pulled at the corner of his clothes and shook her head.

"You see it too, right? This is not a level you can handle. The same goes for me." As Cardin becomes stronger, Luna can also exert more of her original strength.

She hadn't just been playing around during these three years. But even so, Luna never thought she could defeat Seriban.

"Everyone here combined is no match for him. Perhaps only the guardian I saw three years ago can stand a chance of victory."

"We have no intention of rushing in and dying. No matter what, we have to buy time."

While Cardan was talking, the battle between Chick and Seriban continued.

"It's still such a pleasure to fight with you. You even remember every little habit of mine." Unlike Chick who was gradually changing shape, Seriban's face was full of smiles.

He seemed to enjoy the situation, and his sword showed no hesitation.

From the very beginning, the initiative of the attack was in Seriban's hands, and Chick just gritted his teeth and endured the attack.

Fortunately, although the battle is very fierce, the outcome is still unclear.

"How about accepting my offer now? I don't want to lose my old friend." Seriban said as he stopped attacking and slowly backed away.

Unlike the calm Seriban, Chick was breathing heavily.

"Join me as the guardian of the demon-ruled Kingdom of Libera. In the future, we will transcend the kingdom and rule the world. Isn't that great?" Seriban swung his sword with ease and stared at Chike.

"As the leader of the Knights of Collins, I choose death."

"An honorable death? What's the use of fame after death? Everyone will die one day and their names will eventually be forgotten." Seriban frowned, seeming not to understand.

"I'm not fighting to be remembered by others. As a knight, I'm just fulfilling my duty as a knight." Chick clenched his remaining strength and activated his magic again, surrounding his whole body with magic.

As his muscles expanded, cracks appeared on the iron armor covering his body.

"In the end, you only talked about the chivalry taught in the Kingdom Knight Academy? Poor guy. That chivalry will be the cause of your death." Seriban, who judged that he could not convince Chick, smacked his lips regretfully.

At the same time, Chick stomped hard on the ground and rushed towards Seriban. Maybe it was because he used the last bit of magic power to strengthen his physical ability?

Even the knights who had been observing the battle were unable to keep up with Chick's movements.

Swish, swish, swish! Chike's sword tore through the air and swung towards Serliban's neck. The blue magic power collided with the red magic power.

Puff! At the same time, there was a sound of something being cut. The battlefield was completely silent.

The knights and soldiers who were watching all this forgot to even swallow and stared at the situation.

The dust from the conflict gradually cleared, revealing two knights holding swords.

"Oh, what happened?" A knight asked quietly, but no one answered his question. No, it was impossible to answer.

Huh... Just as he was about to open his mouth, Chick's body and head separated.

"This bastard!" Several knights, angry about death, rushed down the city wall and rushed towards Serliban who was smiling and celebrating his victory.

"Foolish knights of Collins. You should remember the sacrifice of your captain instead of rushing down the walls in anger over his death." This failure is of your own making.

As Serliban said this, he cut off the arm of the knight who was charging in front.

Puff! It happened in an instant. Faced with the unimaginable gap in strength, the angry knights also stopped their actions. But this is not the end yet.

Puff! Puff! Clank! Seriban wandered leisurely on the battlefield, brandishing his sword.

"Ahhh!"

"Ah!" At the same time, the knights who rushed towards him screamed and met their death.

"What? If it ends like this, wouldn't it be too boring? You are too weak to fight me." After dealing with the knights who rushed down the city wall, Seriban smacked his lips and slowly climbed up the city wall.

Serliban saw no need to go out in person, so he turned around and rode slowly back to the demon camp.

The people on the city wall could only watch Serliban's back but were unable to attack.

"These stupid guys." Chris looked at the bodies of the dead knights helplessly, smacked his lips, and then looked at the demon camp in the distance.

"Get ready for battle! The demons are coming!" Hearing Chris's shout, the people on the city wall began to get busy.

"Grab your bows and arrows! Kill everyone who comes within range!"

"Magicians, prepare your strongest magic! You must kill as many enemies as possible with one attack!"

"Get your trebuchets ready! Don't just stand there! Take heart! The war begins now!" There was no time to mourn the futile death of the Grand Master.

This is a battlefield. A place where, unfortunately, death is a given. All those guarding the line prepare for war with tears in their eyes.

"Even if he had obtained the power of the demons, he never expected that the leader of the five major knight orders would be killed so easily."

Cardin gritted his teeth and looked at Chick Grimwalt's body, which had turned into a cold corpse under the city wall.

"Huh?" At this moment, Cardin's eyes saw something strange.

-Necromancer! Charlotte's heir!

The black shadow standing in front of the corpse called out to Cardan anxiously.
