Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"What?" Seriban was confused. He had clearly confirmed that Cardan's physical strength had declined.

Even the highest level undead, and even lower level undead like skeletons, are resurrected more slowly.

The occasional flying bone magic and blood magic were gradually decreasing in frequency as time went by.

"That guy who looked like he would fall down at any moment until just now, why?" Even if you look directly at him with your own eyes, it is obvious that Cardin will fall down if touched.

"What kind of magic did you cast?" However, Cardin suddenly stretched out his hand towards the empty void.

At the same time, Cardan's face gradually brightened. He looked like a man who had just arrived at the battlefield after a rest. He became lively.

Among the magics that Seriban knew, there was no magic that could reverse time. Unless one was a priest at the highest position, it was impossible to restore all physical strength at once.

"If it's not magic, are you pretending to be exhausted on purpose to lure out those who want to attack you?"

"Neither." Cardan shook his head in response to Seriban's question. Cardan did not have the confidence to act.

Therefore, he had to push himself to the limit. There were countless soul entities scattered on the battlefield that could restore physical strength and mana at once, but he did not absorb any of them.

He adjusted enough physical strength and magic power to delay time, and naturally showed the demons that he was exhausted.

Then, things turned out just as he had expected.

"Of course, I didn't know this guy was coming." Although he smiled easily, the situation was not optimistic.

Even if he joined forces with Luna, defeating Thriban would be impossible. Until three years ago, he was one of the closest people to the position of Guardian.

And by absorbing the power of the demons, he now possesses enough strength to rival the Guardians.

"It's still too much for me." For the current Seven Star Cardan, there is no way to defeat him.

"You should pay back the price for teasing me. Is that ok?" Seriban smiled as if he found it incredible, then asked Cardan seriously.

"I didn't mean to lure you here." Unfortunately, it seemed that this battle was unavoidable.

It seemed that Threliban was going to take Cardan away. When he drew the sword from its scabbard, his cold voice was chilling.

"Well, if it can't be avoided, then let's find a way to deal with it." Cardin immediately looked at Luna, and Luna also felt that gaze and looked at Cardin.

"Oh. Really..." Luna shook her head as she looked at Cardan, then looked at Serriban and activated her magic power.

There was a bloody aura flickering around her body, and seeing this, Seriban opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"The bloody aura...that little girl must be a vampire." Could it be that Luna's existence has spread among the demons?

It may be that when she rescued the people imprisoned in the city of Robern, Luna's message spread among the demons.

"Do you know what to do?" Luna said rudely, and immediately created a bloody dagger in the air.

“It would be nice to experience what kind of guy Charlotte’s only disciple is like.” Then Seriban immediately rushed over, brandishing a sword wrapped in magic power.

"Be careful!" Luna shouted, closing the distance in an instant and leaping to the side while swinging her sword.

Cardan dodged in the opposite direction, barely avoiding Selivan's attack.

"For a necromancer, you're pretty fast." Seriban easily retracted his sword and rushed towards Cardan again.

Bang! Luna quickly ran over and punched Serliban in the face as he was swinging his sword at Cardan.

"The little guy is quite powerful." Although the blood-colored aura exploding on her toes might cause an impact, Seriban was unharmed. Luna's attack seemed to be easily ignored by her.

"I have to keep doing what I'm doing. You wait here, little vampire girl." Seriban activated his magic again, and his sword began to burn with a red light like fire.

"Will you die just by touching it?" Cardan sneered at the sword surrounded by red light, and immediately created the Blood Death God and absorbed its power.

The Bloody Grim Reaper appeared behind Cardin, holding the Grim Reaper's scythe in his hand.

"Although it's still unstable, what you're familiar with is the best." In an instant, the blood sickle in Cardan's hand began to shrink gradually.

Soon, the Blood Scythe turned into a dagger. Its power seemed to be compressed and it looked unstable, as if it would explode at any time.

"Do you think you can block my sword with that little trick?" Seriban laughed contemptuously and swung the magic sword. Cardan quickly rolled his eyes and analyzed his movements.

"Reduce your strength and increase your speed. Even if you dodge, the next attack will follow." Dodging is not a good option.

Even if he used teleportation to increase the distance, he couldn't get rid of Seriban. In other words, Cardan now had only one choice.

Whoosh! Cardan stared at the sword swung by Serliban, then rushed towards the tip of the sword with the blood dagger.

Crack! The moment the swords collided, Cardin's body flew backwards.

Boom! Cardin flew directly towards the city wall, and after hitting it, he frowned and slowly stood up.

"If I had blocked it with a normal sword, it would have shattered." Although the impact of hitting the wall caused him pain, Cardin seemed relieved.

In contrast, Seriban showed an expression of disbelief.

"Blocked?" Looking at Cardan's undead army, he had already acknowledged Cardan's necromancer abilities.

It is remarkable that he has achieved so much at such a young age and has the ability to match his achievements.

However, a necromancer was able to block the sword swung by Serliban at close range.

“To have been able to cope until the end is amazing no matter how you think about it.”

"This kind of judgment and action is impossible for an ordinary necromancer."

"There were countless ways to escape, but instead he shortened the distance and brandished that strange dagger." This is a choice that most people cannot make.

"Not bad. It's really good. Charlotte's last disciple surprised me. That's enough." Seriban seemed to approve of Cardin and nodded.

"Lord Hamilton said he wanted that guy? Now I understand why." He can't be treated as an ordinary necromancer.

A necromancer who reached seven stars at a young age and demonstrated excellent defensive capabilities in close combat.

If he gets the power of the demons, how strong will he become? Just imagining it makes people feel proud.

"As long as we bring this guy back, we will get greater recognition from Lord Hamilton." Seriban smiled greedily and clenched his sword again.

"Yeah. It's good, but that's all. You can't beat me." Cardin agreed with him in his heart.

He had been training in close combat defense since entering Hero Academy, and thanks to this training he was able to block the attack.

But next time, I won't be so sure. The reason why he was able to defend this time was not only because of Cardin's reaction speed and judgment.

Because Cardan was a necromancer, Thriban let down his guard, and because he wanted to capture him alive, his power was weakened.

"Tsk. It would be great if teacher Belid could come soon." Cardin found it difficult to delay time when he was fighting one-on-one with Seriban, and he looked at the sky eagerly.

Just at this moment.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! A huge ice wall appeared between Cardan and Seriban.

Boom! Then there was a roar. Swish! Along with a flash of light, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Seriban.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." The next voice that came was that of a familiar and pleasing person.

"Teacher?" Teacher Belid appeared next to Cardin and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's all over now. You've worked really hard."

"Are you here with reinforcements?"

"Of course. Didn't you see it up there?" Belid pointed to the top of the city wall, and Cardin naturally looked in the direction of her finger.

"Alvis? Blanche?" Then there was the pleasant familiarity of seeing him.

"Ah, didn't these two people stay in Douglas?" A smile naturally appeared on the corners of his mouth in joy.

"Ka, Cardin!" Alves saw Cardin and waved happily. Blanche next to him shifted her gaze for some reason and just sneered.

“These two people have also grown a lot.” It wasn’t just these two people that were seen. Next to the two happy people, there appeared someone who was not seen on the city wall just now.

"Why did you come so late?" After confirming the reinforcements, Cardan looked at Belid again and asked.

"It's a long way to go to explain. Anyway, something happened."

"Okay, we'll tell you this story later. First, we have to deal with that guy." Cardin pointed at the ice wall, and Belid carefully put down Cardin's hand that was pointing at the ice wall.

"Kadan has completed his mission. Now it's time to hand it over to the reinforcements." Belid's voice had just fallen.

"Thank you for your hard work, son of Charlotte." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the air.

The moment he saw that, Cardin smiled disdainfully and quickly greeted him in a respectful manner.

"I have met the guardian." That identity was none other than the guardian "Gilbert".

Gilbert accepted Cardin's greeting easily, and then immediately looked at Serriban.

"Seriban. I didn't expect you to really become a dog of the demon clan."

"I have heard this too many times today. I don't want to hear it again, Lord Guardian." Seriban replied sarcastically.

"You seem very confident, Mr. Thriban. That is not your strength."

"I got it, I used it, so what is it that is not mine?" In response to Serriban's answer, Gilbert looked at him regretfully and shook his head quietly.

"I can't just let go of someone who betrayed you, who was once a comrade."

"Even if you're a guardian, it's not easy to deal with me. It's not the same as before."

Whoosh... Serliban tightened his grip on the sword again as if he was about to charge over.

Unlike when he dealt with Cardin, he exuded a strong murderous aura, and an unprecedented cruel power was felt from him.

But Gilbert just licked his lips and shook his head, showing no fear or panic.

"So, let's see your amazing guardian magic, shall we? I'll assess how amazing you are."

“I didn’t accumulate strength to be judged by others.” Gilbert also realized that the battle was about to begin, and immediately activated his mana.

"The reason I accumulated strength is because of betrayers like you." In an instant, Gilbert's eyes were filled with anger, and Seriban hesitated for a moment.

Seeing that, Gilbert raised the corner of his mouth slightly and replied.

"It's too late to run away, Mr. Thriban."
