Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

The Plains of Despair were instantly dyed red by the blood of the Centaurs. Although the Centaurs were classified as the highest level monsters, it was still difficult to defeat the scout team led by the Guardian.

In addition to the guardian Philip, the reconnaissance team has only 4 members. But the fighting power of these 4 members is enough to change the atmosphere of any battlefield.

Mercenary King Jade and Undying Flame Belid are already well-known heroes.

“Precious materials pile up in mountains.”

"Let's take half each." Esther and Cardan, Isaac's last apprentice.

They fought with incredible tacit understanding, even though this was their first time working together. The battle was over in an instant, and thousands of centaurs rushed over with various weapons, but eventually lost their lives and their bodies lay on the plain.

"Using centaurs to create skeleton soldiers can improve mobility and serve as an undead theme. They are also good at archery and using spears."

"It's a pity that there is no one suitable for making a Death Knight." Esther and Cardin looked at the corpse and said happily. The Mercenary King Jed beside him smacked his lips and shook his head.

"Looking at the piles of corpses, the human is happy. It turns out that the Necromancer and I are not suitable for each other." At this time, Belid walked to the side of the Mercenary King and said with a smile.

"Isn't this the same feeling as conquering a dungeon and discovering mountains of gold and silver treasures?"

"Yeah. You two, if you want to pick up a body, do it quickly." Jed wrinkled his nose in boredom and said unhappily.

Cardin and Esther nodded and quickly opened the space.

after awhile.

"The meeting is no big deal." Thanks to the help of Cardan and Esther, the centaur corpses on the Plains of Despair disappeared, and Philip called the members to start the meeting.

"Does anyone have any opinions on how to group us?" Jed raised his hand first in response to Philip's question.

"How about we take two necromancers and let Mr. Belid guard the base?" The two strongest people take the youngest person. This is actually the cleanest choice.

"I have a suggestion, too." Just as Philip was about to nod, Cardin raised his hand and said.

"Tell me."

“I don’t think there’s any need to guard the base.” Philip tilted his head curiously, then looked at the base and smiled.

"why?"

“We don’t have dozens or hundreds of people, and we don’t keep important things in the base.” Philip nodded in agreement.

In fact, the so-called base is just 5 tents built with tents, and there is no need to guard it. If the monster finds the base and destroys it, you can rebuild it with the spare tents you brought.

"If there is a place where we need to disperse and then gather again, it will be enough to just mark it." After Cardin finished speaking, the other members except Philip also agreed.

"It's a habit, so I think we have to protect the base." Jed nodded and looked at Philip.

"So, what should we do? Groups of 3 or groups of 2?"

"I have a suggestion too." Cardin raised his hand again. All the members looked at Cardin, who put his hand down and said.

"I want to divide the four into groups, and I will act with her. Isn't it more efficient to form three groups in total?"

"If it were an ordinary place, it would be fine, but this is the Plains of Despair. We can't let you go alone." Philip shook his head decisively in response.

Because they didn't know what dangers they might encounter, they couldn't let young Cardin go alone.

"If it's Cardin, there's nothing to worry about." Belid raised his hand carefully and said calmly.

"Although he looks young, he is already an 8-star necromancer. He can also handle dangerous situations well." Even though Belid said this, Philip did not nod.

Of course, we don’t want the members to be involved in accidents, so we have to choose carefully.

"How about this?" When Philip shut up, Bellid took out two necklaces from his arms.

"what is that?"

"This is the necklace used in Hero Academy. The ring I wear will sense the vibrations if the wearer is put in a dangerous situation."

Plus, he can sense the necklace's location, so he can use Belid's teleportation magic to help in crisis situations.

"Well, it's a useful necklace."

"Because it's a special use, it can't be sold, which is a pity."

"Okay, let's do it." After accepting Cardin's suggestion, the group work was completed quickly.

Philip and Esther, Jade and Belid, and Cardin and Luna.

"Jed, go with Mr. Bellid and find out where the monsters came from."

"Got it. Then Mr. Philip and Cardin will find the hidden entrance and exit?" Philip nodded in response to Jed's question.

"Let's go now. Come back here before the sun sets." The reconnaissance team was divided into three groups and quickly dispersed with the base as the center.

"Luna, how is it? Did you feel anything?" Cardin asked cautiously after following Luna for a while.

"Well, there's an ominous atmosphere all around." Luna stopped and answered with a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

It seems that the "ominous aura" she felt made her very uncomfortable.

"Whatever it is, I want to find it quickly and leave! This smell is so disgusting!"

Boom! Boom! Luna stamped her feet unhappily. Although she stepped on the ground with her small feet, the ground was shaking as if a giant was walking by.

"Huh?" Just then, the ground began to crack and Luna looked at Cardin in surprise.

"Cardan, I'm sorry." Luna said, smiling sheepishly.

Boom! The ground cracked quickly, and soon the ground began to collapse. Cardin and Luna quickly jumped to the side.

"Huh?" However, it was as if something grabbed their feet and they did not fly.

"Ahhh!" Cardin and Luna fell quickly into the hole that appeared on the ground.

Plop! Plop! Fortunately, the place they fell into was not the ground, but a puddle of water.

"Huh!" Cardin climbed out of the water first, and then Luna also poked her head out of the water.

"I'm sorry... I didn't know that stomping my feet would cause the ground to collapse." Luna apologized guiltily, and Cardin smiled and helped her tidy up her wet hair.

"I'm glad you're okay. If you didn't use magic to protect yourself when you fell, you would still get hurt even if you fell into the water."

"Huh, anyway, we fell pretty deep, right?" Looking up, the ceiling was pitch black.

The large hole that Luna accidentally created, the hole that Cardin and Luna fell into, are no longer visible.

"Yeah. With such a big hole, at least some light should come in." Fortunately, although they fell very deep, they did not feel dark.

The darkness did not hinder the vision, but it felt like there was a faint light coming from somewhere.

"But, Cardin," Luna called out to him curiously as Cardin looked around.

"Ok?"

"Looks like we found it."

"what?"

"Hidden passage." Luna pointed out from the water. She pointed at what looked like a cave entrance.

"Do you feel that aura there?"

"Yeah, it's stronger than before."

"Then let's go over there and take a look first?" Cardin and Luna immediately swam out of the water and stopped in front of the cave entrance.

"What should I do? I'll fly up and bring people over?" Cardin himself couldn't fly, but Luna could fly freely in the air.

If you find a hidden passage, the safest approach is to call in a reconnaissance team.

"Then I'll leave it to you." After Cardin nodded, Luna immediately activated her magic power, and her body floated lightly in the air.

"Don't go in alone, wait for me here." After saying that, Luna flew towards the ceiling.

It didn't take long.

"Ah!" Luna screamed. Splash! Luna fell down quickly again and fell into the water.

"Luna! What's wrong? Are you okay?" Cardan was startled and was about to jump into the water, but fortunately Luna immediately climbed out of the water and flew to Cardan.

"Oops."

"why?"

"It's a barrier. There was clearly nothing there when I came in, but there was a barrier on the ceiling." Hearing that the entrance was blocked, Cardin looked at the cave entrance with a wry smile.

"It seems that they want us to come in. If not, then they can't let the uninvited guests go. Is that so?"

If you can't get out through the ceiling, there's only one option left.

"There's nothing we can do. Let's go in and see if there's another exit."

"What if there's danger?"

"That's actually a good thing. This way we can find our location using the necklace our teacher gave us." Cardin replied with a bright smile and Luna muttered with a pout.

"I wonder if I can use teleportation magic to get through the barrier."

"Anyway, let's go in and take a look first." Cardin and Luna sighed at the same time and walked into the cave.

It wasn't dark inside the cave, so there was no need to bother with a torch.

Therefore, Cardin and Luna could move quickly, and after walking for a while, they came across a wide space like a square.

It is so high that you can’t see the end, and so wide that you can’t see the width.

"Luna, where does that ominous aura come from?"

"I can feel it all around, but it's strongest here." Should I go to where I can feel the breath, or stay as far away from where I can feel the breath as possible?

"Luna, we are already here. Do you want to confirm the true identity of that aura before leaving?"

"What if it's a dragon?"

"How could it be a dragon? Besides, if this was a dragon's lair, we would have been dead long ago." As everyone knows, dragons hate others invading their territory.

If this was a dragon's lair, the moment Cardin and Luna fell into the water, they would be attacked by all kinds of magic and monsters.

"By the way, Luna. Have you ever seen a dragon?"

"No. I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it."

"Then could that ominous aura you felt be the aura of a dragon?" Cardin asked cautiously, and Luna nodded.

"Mom said that dragons have rich magical powers, so they emit a pleasant scent."

"Then this isn't a dragon's lair?"

"Well, could that be the case?" If the true form of that ominous aura wasn't a dragon, would it be enough to just confirm it?

Cardin thought so and looked at Luna, who finally sighed and nodded.

"I don't know. Let's go take a look first. Now that we're here, I'm also very curious. What exactly is this aura?"

Luna said, taking the lead and walking, Cardin followed her with a smile. They walked for a while.

"Here it is." Luna stopped and pointed at a small door that didn't fit into the spacious space.

A door of a size that was all too familiar to Cardin. It was a small door for humans to enter and exit.

"here?"

"Well, the aura I feel here is the strongest." What is the essence of this ominous aura?

Is it some crazy magician? Or some corrupted being?

"Now that we're here, we can't run away. There's nowhere to escape to anyway." Cardin took a deep breath and opened the door directly.

Although it looked like an old door, it opened gently without any hesitation.

"Huh..." On the other side of the opened door, Cardin and Luna saw the space inside, gasped, and froze there.

"Dragon, dragon?"
