Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

This is the best option now. Isaac nodded and looked at the laboratory table. There was a body on the laboratory table, covered with marks that looked like it had been sutured.

"It's just an ordinary zombie, isn't it?" "Although it looks like a zombie, it's actually a Corpse Golem. The only materials that can be used are the corpses of zombies, there's nothing we can do." Hearing Isaac's words, Cardin seemed to agree and closed his mouth.

"No matter how you look at it, it's just a zombie." But he had a question. Unlike the previous time when the corpses were piled up randomly, the current Corpse Mountain Golem was just a zombie corpse that looked like it had just undergone surgery. Could this golem really be powerful?

"Well, now let's try to place the magic core near the chest?"

"Okay." Hearing Isaac's words, Cardin created a sphere on his palm that emitted a bright green light.

"The magic power consumption is really huge." Unlike summoning skeleton soldiers, he felt a large amount of magic power draining out of his body and frowned.

Cardin slowly pushed the magic core into the upper body of the Corpse Mountain Golem, then took two steps back.

Crack! With an uncomfortable sound, the zombie's body - no, the corpse golem began to move. Crack. The golem stood up from the experimental table and looked at Cardin with empty eyes.

Its eyes were empty, as if waiting for orders, and it pointed at Cardin. "It looks like a moving doll." Compared with the skeleton soldiers, the Corpse Mountain Golem looked more like a moving doll.

It didn't breathe, nor did it move. It just stood there quietly, giving people an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

"The Corpse Mountain Golem is a growing undead creature that can replace its parts at will. It will definitely become a valuable force." The Corpse Mountain Golem, which is made up of various corpses, can also replace various parts.

If body parts from more powerful monsters were transplanted, then the growth Isaac mentioned would not be impossible.

"Kadan, do you know?" Isaac, who was observing the Corpse Mountain Golem, looked at Cardan and asked.

"what are you saying?"

"Legend has it that necromancers put souls into golems and use them." Unlike low-level undead creatures, high-level undead creatures summon the souls of the resentful dead and attach them to corpses.

Undead creatures possessed by spirits gain self-awareness and can move as they wish, and sometimes even grow.

"A golem isn't a living thing, right? I know you can't put a soul into a non-living thing." In order for a soul to possess a body, certain conditions need to be met, one of which is "a once living body."

However, the golem is just a man-made mobile device. "Even if it is a golem made of a corpse, is that possible?"

"As far as I know, it's possible for other golems as well." A container golem that can't move without a magic core and can't possess souls. A golem that puts souls into non-living things?

This is beyond Cardan's knowledge. Seeing that Cardan seemed unable to understand, Isaac chuckled and continued.

"That's just a story from legend. Even a necromancer can't give life to inanimate things."

"Ah, yes. Legend has it..." "According to legend, soul crystals are used to endow the golem with souls and enhance its power." Cardin was surprised to hear what Isaac said.

"Don't soul crystals only exist in legends?"

"Yes. It's just a legend." Isaac nodded with a lighthearted smile. But Cardin couldn't laugh with him.

"Can the crystal of the soul be used in that way?" The "crystal of the soul" can only be obtained by those who have experienced death.

Cardan has obtained the crystal of this legendary special power. "If I could also obtain the crystal of soul like the legendary necromancer, I might have become a guardian long ago. What a pity."

"Do you believe in legends?"

"My former idol believed it, but I don't really believe it. Because all that's left is regret."

"Former idol?"

“Yes. Now it’s someone I can’t meet.” Cardan pondered for a while. Maybe if he told Isaac that he got the crystal of the soul, he might get help?

"No, there is no benefit in speaking it out." His past life experience told him the answer. People who have something that makes others jealous or envious will not speak it out.

Because they know that once they say it, misfortune will come. "Maybe this is also the reason why I died in my previous life. I knew too many unnecessary truths at that time." Thinking back to his past life, Cardin smiled softly and nodded.

"I'm surprised. The professor also has someone like that." Maybe that idol isn't Charlotte? The thought flashed through his mind, but he couldn't easily say the name.

"Yes. I have. But now I am no longer in the company of others. And anyway, it is late. It is already four o'clock."

"Has it been that long?" Looking at the clock on the other side of the lab, it was already past four. How focused was he? After dinner he had come straight to the lab to make the Corpse Mountain Golem, and it was already early in the morning.

"Now that the golem is finished, let's stop here for today. Luckily, tomorrow is a day off, so have a good rest."

"Okay, Professor. Thank you."

"I'll take care of the cleaning here, just go back to the dorm." Cardin wanted to help, but Isaac smiled kindly and waved him back.

For some reason, his eyes seemed full of anticipation.

The next day. "Isn't that guy a necromancer? Why is he so active?" After lunch, Cardin appeared on the training ground.

"If he is a necromancer, shouldn't he be studying the undead creatures in some corner?" After observing for more than a month, he still couldn't adapt.

How could a necromancer have such good physical strength? Three hours after he appeared on the training ground, Cardin was surprised to see him continue running after a simple physical training.

What other necromancer would do such intense physical training?

"But is that true?"

"He beat Blanche?"

"He didn't come to class yesterday, either, right? Blanche didn't show up either." It had been two days since Blanche and Cardin's duel ended.

The result of the duel between the two was known not only to the instructors and professors, but also to the students.

"If it's an undead creature, can't we just freeze it with magic? A frozen undead creature cannot be resurrected."

"Didn't Blanche do that?"

"I heard that he used a bone shield to block the magic, and then used curse magic to pierce his vitals." Two days after the duel, the duel between the two became a topic of discussion.

Maybe a professor told the students the result of the duel in a further class. "If I were the legendary necromancer, I would have become a guardian long ago. What a pity."

"Is that guy okay?" Cardin was not unaware of this fact. When running on the training ground, he kept hearing other students talking about his name, so it was impossible for him not to know.

"It seems like he has a lot of self-esteem." A genius magician from a prominent family. Perhaps no one was more shocked than Blanche herself.

In addition, now that the rumor has spread, her self-esteem must have been greatly damaged. "She didn't even show up for the physical training class, and she was also absent from the deepening class." Could it be that the use of four-star magic reluctantly caused a problem with the magic core?

Did he miss classes because of his pride? Although I didn't want to worry about it, I was still concerned because it might be because I was competing against my opponent.

"Hey, are you Cardin?" While sitting on a bench during a break, someone walked up to Cardin and started talking. He slowly raised his head and saw a strange face.

He was a man of great build and menacing appearance. Somehow, he looked more like a villain than a hero. Although he was wearing the training uniform of the academy and was obviously a student, Cardin did not recognize this face.

"Yes." He should be one of the second or third year students. Cardin thought so and answered respectfully.

"I heard that you defeated Blanche, is that true?" The third-year student suddenly mentioned Blanche's name, which surprised Cardin. Cardin shrugged and replied.

"Yes. But what's the matter?"

"Hahaha!" Hearing Cardin's answer, Klose started laughing. The laughter echoing in the training ground made people feel a little burdened for some reason.

"Well done! Thank you!"

"Ok?"

"I've always wanted to dampen that guy's enthusiasm, but I didn't expect there was someone in the academy who could actually do it!" Klose seemed very happy and grabbed Cardin's shoulders and shook him.

"I really wanted to see her lose! Ah! What a shame! But you did a good job!"

"Um, can you let go first..."

"Oh, sorry. I'm so happy. I was rude." Cardin, who had just been freed from the shaking, tried to suppress his smile and looked at Klose.

"Who are you and why do you say that?" Is he someone who has a grudge against Blanche? No, as a student of the Hero Academy, he must have outstanding strength. Cardin looked at Klose in confusion and asked.

"Ah? I didn't introduce myself. I'm Klose Douglas from the third grade." Klose stretched out his big hand and continued.

"Blanche's brother too."

"What?" Cardin looked at him in surprise.

"You must be kidding." Although Blanche seems to have a bad temper, she has a very outstanding appearance.

"They don't look alike at all?" Klose's ferocious appearance did not bear any resemblance to Blanche. And unlike Blanche's cold personality, Klose was bold and cheerful.

There is no similarity between them in appearance or personality, they are actually brother and sister. It is unbelievable no matter how you look at it.

"Does my hand make you uncomfortable?"

"Oh, sorry." Klose smiled softly and spoke again. Cardin shook hands with him carefully. At the moment of shaking hands, Cardin was worried that his hand would be crushed.

"Can you sit for a while?"

"Oh, of course." Klose let go of his hand and sat next to him with Cardin's consent.

"That guy didn't cry after he lost, did he?"

"No. He had a cold expression from beginning to end."

"She was still holding on to her self-esteem until the very end. Tsk. She should have cried if she lost. What a pity." Would a brother feel regretful because his sister didn't cry?

"Blanche never knew how to lose. She was always first." Her outstanding talent seemed to have been apparent from an early age.

"Really?" Although he had no interest in the topic, Cardin decided to listen first. Because his fluctuating appearance made people feel friendly, the initial sense of burden gradually disappeared, so he did not feel uncomfortable.

"Well. When she said she wanted to come to the academy, I was worried. I thought, with her talent, she wouldn't lose here." But Blanche collapsed a month after she enrolled.

"I heard that your score in the entrance exam was lower than yours, and your self-esteem was hurt. In the end, you tasted the taste of failure. Ah, it feels so good." Although it was a little strange that she was happy about her sister's failure, Cardin agreed with him to a certain extent.

"Those who have never fallen naturally don't know how to overcome." This is what Cardan, no, the person Huang Peng respected in his previous life, said. At the moment when he recalled his previous life, Cardan's shoulder was patted.
