Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Just as he was thinking for a moment, boom! A fist-sized fireball flew quickly from somewhere.

Cardin saw the fireball coming and quickly stretched his hand into the air.

Bang! A bone shield appeared in front of him, blocking the fireball. "So there is a mage."

If it had been a step too late, the fireball would have hit Cardan's face instead of the bone shield.

"It's the Necromancer!" Someone shouted from the direction where the fireball came from. This seemed to be a signal, and the knights with weapons began to rush towards Cardan.

Snap! Snap! Now that his identity as a necromancer had been exposed, Cardin immediately summoned skeleton soldiers. "If you're not careful, you'll die."

A knight group led by a six-star knight leader and a mage of unknown strength. Cardin planned to go all out from the beginning, commanding well-trained skeleton soldiers.

Then, Cardan pointed in the direction where the fireball was coming from and summoned a ghost. Whoosh! A translucent ghost suddenly appeared and quickly flew in the direction Cardan pointed.

"Ghosts will interfere with spellcasting, but this only buys time."

Although the mage's magic could be temporarily interrupted, it could not stop the Knights from approaching quickly. Cardan tried to block the Knights' steps with a bone wall, but it was in vain.

The knights swung their weapons, and the magic power on their weapons easily destroyed the bone wall. Even the four-star enhanced skeleton soldiers were useless.

Snap! Snap! The knights pierced through the skull like they were breaking a toy and advanced towards Cardan. Soon, a knight arrived in front of Cardan and thrust his spear with all his strength.

Ding! Thanks to his training with Mathias at the academy, Cardin barely blocked the attack. "Ah!"

The shockwave caused him to lose his balance and Cardin fell back. "Is it the Knight Commander?"

Cardin confirmed the person who had just attacked him and frowned. "Six-star level is indeed extraordinary."

Mathias, the strongest second-year student at Hero Academy, is only a five-star. "Only one star away, the difference is so huge."

Mathias seemed to be better in swordsmanship and proficiency, but the destructive power was incomparable. The hand that blocked the spear was shaking. "Not bad."

After blocking the attack, the man who looked like the leader of the Knights retracted his spear and seemed surprised at Cardan. "You seem to be more than just an ordinary necromancer."

That's all the praise. "Well, it seems there's no need for me to do it myself."

The Knight Commander instantly judged Cardin's level and slowly retreated, and his vacant position began to be filled by his subordinates.

"Captain, please take a rest!"

"We'll handle it!" The knights each infused magic power into their weapons and charged at Cardan again. Ding! Facing the five-star knight, Cardan was also powerless.

He could only buy a little time under the cursed magic and barely block the attack. "After absorbing the crystal of the soul, even the fighting feeling has improved."

His reaction speed became faster and his physical strength became better. Even so, Cardin couldn't do much against the Five Star Knight.

Puff! Soon, wounds began to appear on Cardan's body. The sharp blade cut through Cardan's arm, and the sharp spear tip pierced Cardan's thigh. The battle was one-sided.

The injured Cardan gradually slowed down, and the knights laughed at Cardan like a cat playing with its prey, leaving wounds on his body.

The surrounding skeletons tried to rush over to save Cardin, but... Crack! Under the attack of the surrounding knights, they quickly lost their shape and shattered.

Just like that, the short battle ended. Cardan knelt on the ground, subdued by the knights, and the remaining undead disappeared.

"As you ordered, we did not kill him." The Knight Commander looked at the subdued Cardan, then turned to the head of the Repera family and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The head of the Repera family patted the leader of the Knights on the shoulder and walked up to Cardin.

"Stupid guy. Is this all you've got? I thought the Necromancer would be smarter, but I didn't expect him to be such a stupid guy." Where did he get the courage to come here when he couldn't even beat a five-star knight?

"Yeah~ If you just took the money and handed over the account book, we wouldn't have to work so hard." Although it was a sarcastic tone, Cardin just looked at him with weak eyes without any response.

"This guy, take off your mask." The head of the Repera family ordered, and the knight who was suppressing Cardin took off his mask. In an instant, everyone present was temporarily stunned.

"Looks pretty young?"

"What? The guy who just fought with us was actually this guy?" The opponent who had been mocking and fighting before turned out to be a young man who had not yet reached adulthood. The knights began to look at each other, seeming a little overwhelmed.

Slap! The head of the Repera family raised his hand angrily and slapped Cardin hard.

"You little brat! Hey! Do you know how much money you cost me today?" Four organizations collapsed and dozens of businesses they operated ceased.

All because of a childish Cardin. Bang! "As a noble, I forgive you magnanimously, but you still refuse to buy back the account book you stole?" Bang! As if this was not enough to vent his anger, the head of the Repera family kicked Cardin again.

"If you don't want to die, hand over all the account books you stole." He straddled Cardin, who was lying on the ground, and began to strangle him.

"Don't think I'll let you go just because you're young. Don't play tricks. Hand over the account book first!" However, Cardin said nothing. He just looked at the head of the Repera family with a weak look and smiled.

"This kid hasn't woken up yet! Ahem!"

At that moment, the head of the Repera family suddenly showed a painful expression and looked at the Knight Commander.

"What, what is this thing! Think of a way quickly! We can't take it off!" The Knight Commander noticed something was wrong and quickly pulled the head of the Repera family away from Cardin.

"What, what! Hey! Mage! What did this guy just do to me!" The face of the head of the Repera family was full of fear, as if he had temporarily experienced death.

"I, I'm not sure either." The wizard also frowned and shook his head. Seeing that Cardan seemed to have fainted, he thought that a fainted necromancer could not use magic.

"This dirty necromancer boy!" However, the head of the Repera family, whose fear turned into anger, was unable to calm down, and immediately clenched his fists and rushed towards the unconscious Cardan.

At that moment. Boom! With a loud bang, the wall broke, and the shock wave made the head of the Repera family and the knights fall backwards.

"who!"

"Prepare for battle!" The sudden explosion made the Knight Commander and the mage quickly prepare for battle. They looked towards the dusty place.

"No, weren't you sent to the dungeon? Why are you still here?" As the dust settled, a woman's voice was heard.

A tense atmosphere filled the dusty room, and soon the owner of the voice emerged through the dust.

"Cardan, are you okay?" Cardan, who was awakened by the explosion, heard the familiar voice and answered with a smile.

"You're a little late... Teacher." Her true identity is Belid, the teacher of the Hero Academy.

"Teacher?" The head of the Repera family looked at Teacher Belid in surprise, and then shouted at the hesitant Knight Commander.

"What are you doing! Kill him! How dare this guy come here!" However, his shouting did not make the Knight Commander take action.

“Too powerful…at least six stars or above.” This is not an opponent that can be dealt with easily. Even if you fight desperately, you cannot guarantee victory against this opponent.

Just by looking at each other, one can feel Belid's power.

"Alves, take care of Cardin." Belid walked to Cardin easily, and then Alves ran over to check on Cardin's condition.

"Ka, Cardan, are you okay? I came as soon as possible..."

"I'm fine. At least you're here." Cardin stood up with Alves' help.

"I wanted you to lay down your weapons and surrender... but I couldn't help but get angry." Boom!
