Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Aurora Noxus..." Cardan opened his eyes and read out the name of the dragon in his memory. The dragon, which had already met its death and left only bones, did not answer.

"Cardan, do you understand anything?" At this time, Luna walked over, touched the back of Cardan's hand carefully and asked.

"Yeah." Cardin told Luna all the stories he saw in the dead dragon's memories.

"So it was a dragon that lived a long time ago?"

"Yes, and he's waiting for us. He wants to be a help even after death." Cardin turned around and looked at the dragon heart that was emitting blue light.

The blue spherical dragon heart was still spewing out pure magic power, as if its heart was still beating.

"It has been cast with preservation and protection magic." Luna followed Cardin's gaze and pointed at the Dragon Heart and continued.

"In any case, it's impossible for the Dragon Heart to be so intact after such a long time." The dragon decided to rely on the power of humans and cast a spell on the Dragon Heart before dying.

This is Luna's explanation. Cardin nodded, indicating his agreement with her explanation, and then slowly stroked the dragon's bones.

"I didn't expect to get a dragon's body." The goal of all necromancers. I didn't expect to get the material of the "true dragon" known as the ultimate necromancy like this.

"True dragon...can I use it?" Luna asked, tilting her head.

"Of course not. It cannot be resurrected." A true dragon is an undead creature that can only be resurrected after becoming a 9-star creature. With Cardan's current level, he certainly cannot resurrect a true dragon.

Isaac three years ago failed to cross the 9-star barrier, but he could summon a real dragon because he destroyed his magic heart.

In order to protect the academy, he gave up the power he had accumulated throughout his life and summoned a real dragon.

"It's just castles in the air now." Of course, there is no need to revive the real dragon immediately.

"Do you plan to put it into the different space first?"

"Hmm, I didn't expect to use the magic I learned from my father like this." Following Charlotte's remains, he learned some necromancer techniques over the three years.

Among them, Charlotte has a different-dimensional magic that is exclusively used by "true dragons".

"I learned it when I had time, but I didn't expect to use it like this." Even Charlotte, the best necromancer in the kingdom, has never summoned a real dragon.

Although he surpassed 9 stars and had enough strength, unfortunately he did not get the dragon's corpse.

But he once predicted that he would be able to control a real dragon one day and created a different-dimensional magic specifically for real dragons.

"Now it seems that my father is really a weirdo." Cardin chuckled and activated his magic. He recalled the magic he learned from Charlotte. That's it.

Woohoo! The azure magic flowed out of Cardan's body and began to draw a magic circle under the dragon's body. Not long after, the magic circle was completed, and the blue light emitted from the magic circle enveloped the dragon's body.

Snap! The light came on again, and as the light faded away, the dragon's body also disappeared like a phantom.

"Huh." Cardan breathed a sigh of relief after successfully putting the dragon's corpse into the special space for real dragons.

"But, Cardan, I have something curious." When Cardan finished the magic and released the enchantment, Luna came over and gently patted the back of Cardan's hand.

"what?"

"Why does Charlotte insist on creating a different dimension specifically for real dragons? How is it different from other different dimensions?" Luna asked sincerely, blinking her eyes.

"That's because..." Cardin chuckled and paused for a moment, and Luna stamped her foot impatiently.

"I'll tell you when you become a 9-star. No, I'll show you right away."

"Huh? Where is that!"

"One thing is certain. Father is not one to make useless magic. If there is no reason, there will be no deep meaning."

Cardin said with a smile and Luna sighed in frustration.

"But Luna, don't you feel a little cold? It seems to be getting darker around us." The space gradually darkened without any light or darkness.

The warm air turned chilly. Cardin said, feeling strange, and Luna answered as a matter of course.

"Is it because the dragon heart that supports this dragon's nest has entered your alien space?" The dragon heart that serves as the power of the dragon's nest has disappeared, so it is natural that the magic is lifted.

Luna said, shrugging.

"Then we have to get out quickly?" Coo coo coo coo! Just as Luna finished speaking, there was a sound of the ground shaking like an earthquake from the ceiling.

"Well, if you don't want to get crushed, hurry up and move on," Luna said, grabbing Cardin's hand and starting to run.

"Luna! Do you know where the exit is?"

"We can only go back the way we came. The ceiling has collapsed. When will we be able to find a new exit?"

"What should I do?"

"Waterhole! Escape through the hidden passage."

"Didn't they say that we couldn't get out because of the barrier?"

"Idiot, isn't it the Dragon's Heart that maintains the barrier?" Now the Dragon's Heart is gone. Without the magic power to maintain the barrier, the barrier must have disappeared.

Luna said as she started to run quickly. Cardin was holding her hand and had to naturally speed up.

After walking through the long passage and reaching the spacious pool where she first came in, Luna stopped. Snap. Luna immediately stretched out her hand.

"Hold on. I'll take you up right away."

"I'm very heavy."

"I have more power than you, right?" Following Luna's words, Cardin immediately nodded obediently.

Soon, after Cardin grabbed her hand, huge wings formed by magic power spread out behind Luna.

"Hold on tight. We have to get out before it collapses."

Gugugugugu! As he spoke, the ground began to shake, and small stones from the ceiling began to fall like raindrops.

Puff! The huge blood-red wings began to flap, and Luna's body floated in the air, along with Cardin who was holding her hand.

"Luna, be careful with the rocks."

"Don't worry." Luna smiled and gradually increased her speed as she climbed up.

After returning to the base, Cardan waited in front of the campfire for a while before his companions came back.

How long have you been waiting? The scouts who left for their respective missions returned to the base.

"It's great that everyone is safe." Guardian "Philip", the captain of the reconnaissance team, looked at the safe team members and smiled with satisfaction.

"Well, let's hear our respective reports. First, we didn't find any hidden passages. We just got tired of fighting monsters."

This proved to be true, for Philip and Esther looked quite exhausted. Both of them reeked of the monster's blood, for they had been fighting until just now.

"Belied and I tracked the monster's movement path. There is a forest on the other side as well." On the other side of the Plains of Despair.

That is to say, on the other side of Trafalgar, the city where the reconnaissance team set out, there was another forest.

"The monsters came from that forest to the Plains of Despair. There are probably tens of thousands of them, and it's impossible to accurately count them." Jed's words made Philip take a deep breath and nodded.

"Tsk. The monsters are coming from the border. Scouting is not easy. You two have worked hard." Now it seemed to be Cardin's turn. Starting with Philip, the reconnaissance team members turned their heads to look at Cardin.

"I found the hidden passage and went there." Cardin's answer made people drop their heads in surprise, and the kebabs they were eating fell to the ground.

"What?" "You've been there alone?"

"You, do you know where that is?" Faced with countless questions from people, Cardin signaled everyone to calm down and slowly recounted what had happened.

"So the monsters gathered in the Plains of Despair because of the Dragon's Heart?"

"The reason why this land is so desolate is also because of the Dragon Heart..."

"Did the demons invade this world a long time ago?" The scouts looked at Cardin with shocked expressions. Cardin thought for a while and then spoke slowly.

"I have taken the dragon's bones and the dragon's heart. Is that okay?" Since he had already said that he had the dragon's heart, he could not hide the fact that he had taken it.

"In order to fully ensure safety, I hope you can keep it a secret..." After hearing this, Philip, Jade, Belid and Esther looked at Cardin with a matter-of-fact expression.

"It is only natural that whoever finds it should take it."

"I wouldn't be greedy for that kind of thing. Hmm, a gun made of dragon bones seems pretty good."

"How pure is the magic that flows from the Dragon's Heart? I would love to know."

"If you can revive a real dragon, you must let me see it!" It was just a question out of pure curiosity, and no one was jealous of Cardin for taking it alone.

Moreover, no one was greedy and asked to share.

"It's an enviable experience to be able to enter the dragon's nest. Ah, did you find the treasure?" At this time, Jed asked cautiously.

As a mercenary, he seems to be more curious about the dragon's hidden treasures than the dragon's bones and heart.

"Unfortunately, the moment we took the dragon's bones, the dragon's nest began to collapse, so we fled in a hurry."

Cardin also seemed to regret not getting the treasure that Long had accumulated during his lifetime and sighed.

"I took that?" Luna said nonchalantly while sitting on a rock eating barbecue.

After hearing this, the scouts turned their attention to Luna, and Cardin swallowed and asked.

"Ah, when?"

"While you were touching the dragon's bones, I was just wandering around and found a hidden room."

"That, that?"

"Because it's too troublesome to feel them one by one, so you put everything in the room into the different space first?" Luna blinked innocently, and Cardin smiled bitterly.

"Perhaps Cardin will become the richest man in the kingdom."

“Even the treasure of the Dragon’s Nest has been taken away. If you have a good sword, can you sell it to me?” Philip shook his head as if he couldn’t believe it, and Jed swallowed and proposed to Cardin.

"Um, Luna, can you let me see those things?" Belid asked Luna curiously, wanting to know what was in the dragon's nest.

"..." Esther looked at Cardin with an expression of disbelief. "Cardan, how do you take it out and let me see it?"

At this time, Luna smiled and opened the different space, and Cardin nodded.

"Okay. Take it out and let's see it."
