Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Things like that..." Thanks to Chick Grimwald's explanation, the misunderstanding was quickly cleared up.

"Cardan. I'm sorry. I misunderstood." Matthias looked at Cardan and apologized hurriedly.

Of course, the dead man's hands were grasping all over his body, so the most respectful apology he could make now was to bow his head.

"Has your personality become so explosive in the past three years?"

"This is how things are these days. Regardless, I'm really sorry." Mathias apologized sincerely, and Cardin nodded to show that he understood his feelings.

Many people may have died in these three years, and Matthias also witnessed the deaths of people close to him.

Plus, Chick Grimwald was one of the people he respected. Of course, he would turn hostile in an instant if such a person appeared as an undead.

"Shall we go out first? This magic consumes a lot of magic power." The misunderstanding was cleared up, and Matthias would not suddenly rush over.

Cardan thought so and snapped his fingers. Poof! Cardan and Mathias were immediately separated from the world of the dead.

“Is this the advanced magic of the necromancer?” After breaking away from the Road of the Dead, Matthias’ body was free again, and he looked at his body curiously.

Then slowly, the memory of the battle just now passed through his mind.

"How strong has he become?" He rolled his eyes in anger and attacked Cardan with all his heart.

He used all the attacks he could, including divine power, magic power, swordsmanship, etc., but Cardin did not allow Mathias to attack even once.

"But three years ago there were at least some areas of tension, but today it seems like we're completely at ease." And he feels this is not over yet.

What Cardin showed was just the tip of the iceberg. If Cardin showed 100% of his strength, could he really win? Mathias thought about it and smiled.

"You must use divine power to attack." Mathias slowly raised his head and looked at Cardin.

"I lost." Although I really wanted to fight again, the result was obvious.

"Well trained, Senpai." Fighting Cardin one on one was like fighting an army.

"No wonder the Necromancer is called a one-man army." The appearance of an 8-star Necromancer is a disaster for the enemy.

That said, if an 8-star Necromancer is an ally, nothing is more reliable than this.

"This guy will be another hope." Take the kingdom back from the demons. The rare flame of hope gradually grows.

Mathias smiled and held out his hand to Cardin.

"Long time no see, nice to see you."

"Nice to meet you, too. I didn't expect you to change your fighting style." Cardin asked in surprise, as if he knew why Matthias was holding the holy shield of the guardian "Dimitar".

"If Mathias-senpai's strength is combined with the holy object, he should be reliable, right?" Seeing how Mathias had grown, Cardin's mood also improved.

"That's it. I just want to use the sword, but what if the guardian orders me to do so?"

"Yeah. It feels more stable, somehow. Not as threatening as it was three years ago, though."

"That's because you've become stronger. No, when did you become 8-star?"

"It wasn't long. Isn't Senior also an 8-star?"

"Lord Dimitar forced me to become 8-star," Mathias answered lightly, but without talent, strength and hard work, it would be impossible to reach 8-star.

Even if someone forced it to be made, it was not a realm that could be reached. Matthias must have gone through a very difficult time and persevered.

"Cardan. Did we drink?"

“Three years ago, we were all students and had no chance to drink.”

"How about we have a drink?" Matthias chuckled, and Cardin nodded, summoning back all the Death Knights that filled the training ground.

As the night progressed, Cardin and Matthias poured themselves some wine and recounted stories of the past three years.

Is it because they have met again after a long separation? Why are there so many words? The conversation between the two continues.

It wasn't until dawn that they talked about each other's recent situation, and Matthias asked Cardin curiously.

"Then why are you here? You're not here to see me, are you?"

"Because I have something to do at the temple in the Barbarian Territory. By the way, I'll visit you, Senior, and here too."

"Classmates? Ah, are you talking about those three chatterboxes?"

"Yes. Human, Brent, David. I know these three are here." They can't be dead, right?

Cardin asked cautiously, and Mathias said, shaking his head in annoyance.

"What a noisy bunch. If they don't shut up, I think they'll buzz me to death." Through Mathias, the story of the nagging trio was also briefly heard.

"Even if arrows were flying at them, they would still talk about whether they would die if they were shot, and how to dodge arrows in a cool way. Listening to them talking, emphysema would be renamed as lung explosion."

Hearing this, Cardin smiled nostalgically and nodded.

“Those guys are still the same.”

"Yes, but maybe because they have rich practical experience, they have also grown a lot."

"They talk a lot, but they are also students of the Hero Academy." Although their grades in the Hero Academy are not good.

However, the fact that they were able to enter the Hero Academy proved that the talents they possessed were not ordinary.

After leaving the academy, I have experienced countless actual combat and received training under excellent people, which must have made me grow rapidly.

"But a temple in the barbarian realm? I heard of it for the first time?" The gods worshipped by the barbarians are different from those believed in by the Kingdom of Libera. They worship the gods of nature, so they will not build dirty temples. But why are there temples?

"Not really sure. So I sent a scout ghost before entering the tavern." You can take the necklace immediately after you find it hanging on the statue of the goddess.

at this time.

-Master! Master! -Found it! The temple! And I found the necklace hanging on the statue of the goddess!

The ghosts sent out for reconnaissance came back and began to report to Cardan. Cardan temporarily asked for forgiveness, then looked at the sky, looking at the translucent ghosts.

-But it's far away!

-It takes a long time.

-There are a lot of barbarians too!

Anyway, it was impossible to set off right now. I had drunk alcohol, and most importantly, I hadn't gotten Dimitar's permission.

Entering the barbarian territory without permission might lead to an unprepared war.

Therefore, it was a matter of course to get permission from the general manager Dimitar here.

"Did you find it? Is it there?" Mathias asked with a curious look, and Cardin nodded in response.

"It looks like I'll have to meet Mr. Dimitar again tomorrow."

"what why?"

"The barbarians seem to be preparing for war."

"What?" Matthias stood up in surprise and everyone around him looked at him.

"I'm not sure about the details, but a lot of barbarians have gathered. Are the barbarians very strong now?" Cardin looked at him with an innocent expression, and Matthias nodded without hesitation.

"Strength is no joke. I'm also an 8-star, and there are guys who are almost as strong as me. They're really not easy to deal with." Hearing this, Cardin quickly shook his head.

"All-out war could be dangerous. Even if I wanted to sneak in, it seems difficult." He didn't consider getting help from others.

Anyway, there is only one goal, which is the necklace. Defeating the orcs is not Cardan's goal.

"Among the barbarians, there are guys called heroes. By our standards, they're probably eight stars. Be careful and alert when you meet them." You can't feel it just by hearing about it.

Of course, Cardan also fought against the barbarians 3 years ago, but it was hardly a real battle. And he was not alone.

"Well, if you can't win, just run away." If a dangerous situation arises, just give up.

Not to protect anything, but because if there is a danger of being taken away, it would be more convenient to act alone.

In other words, it is easy to give up if you act alone.

"Okay, let's stop here." Cardin raised his glass and continued.

"The Mercenary King wants me to tell you something?"

"Master? What did you say?"

"traitor."

Phew! Matthias spat out the beer he was drinking. Then he felt speechless and started laughing loudly.

"I want to see Master. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"It looks like you really want to see him. Show your face a little."

"Because I don't know the situation, I will understand." Matthias looked into the air as if he was missing her, then took a sip of wine bitterly.

"Anyway, it feels a bit strange to drink together like this."

"Yeah, it feels good."

The two of them chuckled, clinked their glasses, and started drinking immediately.

The next day, Cardan crossed the gates of Eloksam's walls alone and headed towards the barbarian territory.

Kadan paused for a moment and chuckled, then looked at the Eloksam wall again.

-War? Am I afraid of those barbarians? Are you here to see me?

Because they had to go to the barbarian territory for business, they went to ask for permission. Although Dimitar was a little unhappy, he simply told Cardin to go.

Thanks to this, Cardin was able to get out of the city gate without any problems, remembered the way the ghost had told him, and started moving.

After walking like this for a while, they smelled a pungent smell of sweat from a distance, and Cardan immediately climbed up a tree and hid his body.

"We must kill all the guys in the kingdom this time!"

"Revenge for our compatriots!"

“The patriarch has not given permission yet. We are just on a reconnaissance mission, don’t use too much force.” The barbarians who looked like a reconnaissance team were carrying huge and ferocious weapons, moving as they walked.

Cardan, who was watching the barbarian from the tree, chuckled. Although he didn't know how strong he was, he looked very threatening just by looking at his appearance.

"Fortunately, my intelligence is not very outstanding." Cardan chuckled and waited for the barbarian to pass. Soon the surroundings became quiet and Cardan slowly came down from under the tree.

At this time.

Whoosh. The cold blade touched Cardin's neck. Cardin was startled and slowly turned his head.

"do not move."

"If you move, you will die."

"He's sneaking around like that, he must be a sinner." Three voices were heard at the same time, and the voices sounded familiar for some reason.

"Didn't I tell you not to move?"

"If you move, I'll kill you..."

"The sword is at your neck, and you still dare to move?"

Although their tone was threatening, there was joy in their voices.

Cardin turned his head carefully, and was greeted by several familiar faces, their expressions showing amusement.
