Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Boom! Before Charlotte could finish her words, there was another explosion, and this time the wall of the restaurant was completely destroyed. "I want to talk to you more, but it seems that I don't even have time." Charlotte patted Cardin on the shoulder and said. "As a father, I have nothing to say." After saying that, Charlotte turned around and faced the collapsed wall.

His shoulders looked narrower than before. However, his back still looked firm. Snap! Charlotte, standing on the collapsed wall, opened her arms.

Hurrah! Immediately, countless undead creatures appeared around him. Summoning an army of undead with just a gesture was an exciting sight in itself. Snap! Crack! Crack!

Unlike the aged Charlotte, the Undead Army still maintains their past appearance, showing shockingly strong power. "Now, an old man like me is going to meet some old friends."

Standing on the collapsed wall and rubble, Charlotte turned around and looked at Cardin. "Thanks to you, I'm very happy. Cardin." Puff! As he finished the last sentence, Charlotte flicked her fingers.

"Ah, father! Wait..." At the same time, Cardan's body was engulfed by a dazzling light and disappeared somewhere. Bang! At the last moment, Cardan saw. On the other side of the collapsed wall, the flag of the Kingdom of Libera was flying.

Charlotte Ingmar. A hero who saved the world from the demons and the greatest necromancer in history, known as a legend.

One of the guardians of the Kingdom of Libera, the "Guardian". "But why is the kingdom like this?" Cardan couldn't understand. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why the army of the Kingdom of Libera attacked Charlotte's manor.

He clearly saw that the flag of the Kingdom of Libera was flying on the other side of the collapsed wall. "Isn't my father a hero of the Kingdom of Libera?" A loyal minister who was loyal to the king and walked silently to the battlefield.

As the guardian of the kingdom, he took on and fulfilled his role. A necromancer whose fame was greater than his infamy. A man who was cheered and applauded.

“Why is this happening?” Why did the kingdom’s army break into Charlotte’s manor, which was once loyal? “Did my father commit a crime? If there was no rebellion, the kingdom’s army would not come, right?” He didn’t know.

No matter how many times he asked, there was no clear answer. Click. Cardin stared at the ring in his hand. "Father..." It was a day like any other. It was a repetitive routine, a morning that was no different from any other, and Charlotte could not find any signs of war.

"Father must have known." Charlotte must have known that the Kingdom's army would attack. But why did his attitude seem like he was preparing for death rather than war? "We could have escaped together, couldn't we?" Although the mages would use tracking magic to catch up, if it was Charlotte, he would have been fully capable of escaping.

"Is he trying to save me?" Although there are many questions, none of them can be answered definitively. "He's still alive." Although he hopes he is still alive, the possibility is very small. His calm attitude of accepting death always reminds people of tragedy. In addition.

"He said he was going to meet an old friend. If it was an old friend..." The people leading the kingdom's army were not ordinary. "Guardians. Seven heroes like my father." The heroes of the Kingdom of Libera who acted with Charlotte were called "Guardians". They came to the manor to attack in order to kill Charlotte.

Even for a living legend, it would be nearly impossible to survive against all of them. Even if he miraculously survived, he would only be captured and executed. Cardan clenched his teeth. "What can I do? I can't do anything." He didn't have the power to save him, nor did he have the power to take revenge.

He worked hard for ten years to become strong, but in the face of his father's death, he could do nothing. The feeling of powerlessness made him bow his head. Gradually realizing that this was not just a tragedy, the cruel reality aroused his anger.

Faced with the unbelievable reality and the sudden separation, he did not even shed tears. He just suffered from this disgusting feeling of powerlessness.

A few days passed. Cardan sat where he had been teleported, head bowed, motionless, as if he had never moved. His eyes were swollen, his cheeks were thin. When he realized that his father's death had become a reality, the feeling of powerlessness that followed paralyzed him.

He couldn't move. There was no reason to move because there was nothing he could do. Cardin spent his time in anger and pain. He didn't know where he was, so he couldn't blindly look for the manor.

He could have asked around for news about Charlotte, but he didn't want to hear about his father's tragedy from other people. The moment he heard the news, the tragedy he had imagined in his mind seemed to become a reality.

"Father..." Everything he had accumulated over the past 17 years collapsed in an instant. He trembled with sadness and anger for losing his family, a sadness and anger he had never felt in his previous life.

Sadness and anger disappeared, and his face became expressionless. Click. Cardin looked at the ring Charlotte gave him quietly, and then put it on his finger without thinking. Hulong.

The ring, which originally looked large, automatically adjusted its size and became smaller the moment it was worn on the index finger. Although this was a surprising situation, Cardin did not react at all. He just slowly injected magic power into the ring.

Hurrah! The ring vibrated slightly under Cardin's magic, and then a purple portal appeared in front of him. Space magic. What on earth did Charlotte put in there? Cardin closed his eyes and reached his hand into the portal.

Then, information about the items stored in the space began to emerge in his mind, starting with money, clothes, shoes, books, various experimental tools, and magic tools.

A lot of parchment. Everything from daily necessities to things that the necromancer needs is stored there. "Hmm?" And there is also. [Kadan Ingmar] There is a parchment with Cardan's name written on it.

"What is this?" Cardin opened his eyes again and quickly pulled his hand out of the portal. In his hand was a rolled-up parchment. Hiss.

When he unfolded the parchment, a familiar person appeared with a flash of light. "Foolish guy, I knew you would do this." The person who appeared with the light was Charlotte's private teacher and Cardin's extracurricular teacher, the vampire "Lucia".

"What on earth is going on?" Cardin was flustered by this sudden appearance, his eyes widened. "There is not much time, I will quickly convey Charlotte's words. He said that it was too dangerous to leave the letter, so he asked me personally."

She looked at Cardin with cold eyes and continued. "Cardan. People will die one day. Don't be trapped by emotions and waste time." What she wanted to convey was Charlotte's message. In short, don't indulge in sadness, stand up as soon as possible and start a new life.

"Go to the bar 'Cat's Dinner' in the city of Ternus and find 'Jack Carter'. There you can choose your future." Choose the future? Cardin looked at Lucia in confusion, but Lucia just shrugged to show that she didn't know.

"It's not over yet. Listen carefully." Lucia continued to convey Charlotte's words calmly. "Cardan. You are the only necromancer I recognize. So don't live just to survive. You will survive any adversity." Hearing Charlotte's message through Lucia, Cardan's depression disappeared.

This was an emotion he had never felt in his previous life. "Are you feeling better now?" Lucia asked when she saw that Cardan's expression had improved. "Yes..." Although he still looked emotionless and cold, he seemed to have a little more energy.

"Teacher. What happened? Father..." Lucia's words made Cardan bite his lower lip in disappointment. "I can't stay for long. I was just temporarily summoned to this place by the magic on the parchment." "Well, then?" "I will go back to where I live. Long time no see, Cardan." As she spoke, Lucia's body began to become blurred.

"Teacher, teacher! My father..." Cardin couldn't ask any more questions. As a vampire, she was able to freely enter the human world, which meant that her contractor Charlotte had died.

"Instead of being sad, it's better to be strong. That's all I can say." Lucia, who had been speaking coldly, smiled warmly. "If you become strong, we will meet again. Well, I look forward to it." The magic power on the parchment seemed to be insufficient, and Lucia disappeared like magic.

After a brief reunion, loneliness fell upon Cardin again, but unlike before, Cardin's eyes were full of life. "Father." Cardin looked at the sky expressionlessly and muttered to himself.

"In my past life, the people I served taught me to repay favors and seek revenge, even in death." Although these words would not reach Charlotte's ears, Cardin continued silently.

"So, I will definitely repay you." Determined, Cardin stood up from the ground and slowly looked around. "Teleport..." When he was sent to an uninhabited island as a child, he had also been subjected to Charlotte's teleportation magic.

Where will I be sent this time? "Is this... a forest?" All I could see were trees. "If it were my father, he would probably send me to the city of Ternus."

The message through Lucia had the word "Ternus" in it, so he must have been teleported nearby. He was a man who was endlessly kind to his children. "Right. Like the teacher said, it's better to gain strength than to grieve. Now is not the time for that."

Although he had spent several days in a daze, he felt that he could not continue like this. In order to repay the favor and take revenge, he had to do something. "By the way, he said it was in the bar in Ternus, right?"

He hadn't walked around alone since the deserted island. But this wasn't something to worry about. "I'm not a kid anymore." If this was near Ternus, it wouldn't be too difficult to find the way. Thinking this, Cardin began to walk around casually.

After walking out of the forest, Cardan took a passing merchant's carriage and soon arrived at the city of "Ternus". "Excuse me, do you know where the bar 'Cat's Dinner' is?"

"Not really." It was not difficult to get to Ternus, but finding the bar was a problem. He had asked nearly 10 people, but people seemed to not only not know where the bar was, but also that it existed. "It's impossible to tell me wrong information."

Although he was confused, Cardin did not give up. He was sure that there would be the bar his father mentioned. "Huh?" Meow - A cat came over to Cardin who was resting in the corner of the alley and rubbed his body.

Meow - Cardin stroked the cat's head unconsciously, and the cat seemed to like it very much, turning over comfortably. Meow? The cat, who was enjoying Cardin's touch, suddenly stood up and walked in a certain direction. "Oh?" Following the cat's line of sight, Cardin saw a dilapidated building. A sign with no words, only a cat pattern.

"Hmm?" As if attracted by something, Cardin walked towards the building with the cat sign. Creak. He opened the door and went in, and saw the scene of an ordinary bar. However, for a bar at night, it was too quiet here, and there was no smell of food, let alone the smell of alcohol.

Only the cool smell of wood was pleasant. "Welcome." Cardin walked into the bar and a man's voice came from the bar. Meow - and the cat that was just acting coquettish to Cardin was now curled up in the arms of a man who looked like a bar employee.

"I heard someone was looking for this bar nearby, is that you?" The man who was stroking the cat's chin asked with a gentle smile. "Is this 'Cat's Dinner'?"

"Yes, that's right. It seems that this guy brought you here." A cat can lead the way? Cardin looked at the cat in confusion. But he quickly dispelled his doubts. He had been eating meals made of skeletons all his life, so it was not surprising that a cat led the way.

"Where would you like to sit? I'll get you a menu." "Sorry, I'm not here to eat." The employee looked at Cardin as he walked to the bar with a puzzled look. "I'm looking for a man named Jack Carter. I heard that you can meet him if you come here."

"You've got the right guy. I'm Jack Carter." The employee, no, Jack Carter nodded with a pleasant smile. For some reason, that smile made people feel unhappy.
