Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Yeah. It's okay. Just in case, you have to be careful." In front of the vampire, isn't the Chimera a big threat?

Luna replied with a nonchalant expression, and immediately prepared to run.

"If necessary, I can use magic to help." He was not so relieved, but Cardin understood.

Luna is much stronger than him. Even if they just fight with fists, Cardin can't beat Luna.

She can blow up the Corpse Mountain Golem with one punch, who else can you trust if not her?

In order to be safe and finish the dungeon raid early, supporting her from behind is the best option.

"This is also the way the Necromancer fights." It is not impossible for Cardin to defeat Chimera himself.

If you take out living armor and skeleton magicians, even a Chimera who becomes a subordinate of the demon clan may be defeated.

"It might take a long time, though." Luna handled it quickly and cleanly, so there was no need for Cardin to show up.

Coo coo coo... Just as Cardin expected, the battle ended quickly.

The Chimera who claimed to be catching the intruder had holes all over his body and he no longer had the strength to stand up and fell to the ground.

Puff! Soon, with the sound of Luna's footsteps, the last breath he had left was gone.

"Cardan. Come here and take a look. Look at this." Luna pointed at the back of the fallen Chimera, and Cardan immediately walked over to confirm where she was pointing.

"The mark of the demon clan. He is indeed a subordinate of the demon clan." A bright red pentagram exuding an ominous aura was engraved on the back of the Chimera.

"you know?"

"I've seen it before." Luna narrowed her eyes after hearing Cardin's answer.

"Why do you always have a connection with demons?"

"I don't know either." Cardin smiled easily, looking at the bright red sphere floating above the Chimera.

Woohoo. It seemed that only Luna couldn't see it. The bright red sphere was right in front of her, but she didn't react at all.

"Wait a minute, Luna." Cardin immediately reached out and grabbed the soul crystal.

The moment he grabbed the soul crystal, ominous magic power began to be rapidly absorbed by Cardin's body.

"What! What is this!" Luna was startled and looked at Cardin.

"Why do I suddenly feel the power of the demons... Huh? It disappeared. Wait a minute. What are you? Why did you suddenly become stronger?"

Luna asked Cardin in a panic. She stared at Cardin with eyes wide open in disbelief.

"How do I explain this?" Cardin hesitated, made up his mind, and said to the panicked Luna.

“Do you know what’s in the legend of the necromancer?” Cardan carefully told the truth that Cardan had hidden, from the ability to see the “crystallization of the soul” to the legend of the necromancer.

"...So you can absorb the power of the demons. Like now."

I thought she would yell "What legend, don't lie" or "This is a scam ability!".

"Are you okay?" She said this with worry.

"Ok?"

"The power of the demons is not something humans can withstand. If you are not careful, the power of the demons may dominate your body."

"Ah, I was worried about it too, but fortunately there are no side effects. Do I feel the breath of the demon now?" Luna did not answer, but stared at Cardin and nodded.

"The legend says that he absorbed the power of the demons, but he was not consumed by that power."

"Hmm... That's why you became stronger so quickly." It seems that Luna believed the legend about the necromancer.

Maybe it’s because I saw it with my own eyes, so I have to believe it?

"Yes. In order to obtain this power, I deliberately entered this unpleasant dungeon."

Luna seemed unable to dispel the doubts in her heart and looked at Cardin worriedly.

"Humans who absorbed the power of demons..." Still unbelieving eyes, unbelievable expressions.

"Anyway, I think this is the ability I need." Cardin shrugged and continued.

"The most important thing is to become stronger as soon as possible when you don't know where the demons will appear." I don't know when I will face the demons again.

Because a contract was signed with the Kingdom, and the Kingdom was looking for Charlotte's inheritance.

"I don't know why you covet my father's inheritance." Cardin swung his sword, and the moment his identity was exposed, he would definitely have to face the demons who had signed a contract with the kingdom.

"In order to survive, I have to become stronger as quickly as possible. So I was lucky to get this ability. No, it can be said to be a miracle."

The ominous demonic power that flowed from the soul crystal disappeared as soon as Cardan absorbed it. It just became pure magic power, promoting the growth of Cardan's body and magic core.

As Luna's chubby face watched, Cardin reached out and gently stroked her head.

"Don't worry. I won't turn into a demon."

"If you become a demon, then I will become a demon's subordinate."

"Got it. Then let's take a look inside the room first?" Cardin took his hand away from Luna's head and walked towards the room where Chimera appeared.

"This place is really weird." It was filled with strange statues, and there was a wide flat surface in the middle of the room that looked like an altar.

"Yeah. There's the smell of human blood. A lot of it." Following Luna's words as she came in, Cardin nodded in agreement.

"Really?" Luna only smelled the smell of blood, but Cardin, as a necromancer, could feel countless breaths of death in the room.

"Did you smell the smell of human blood on the way here?"

"No. No. Only in this place." What kind of dungeon is this that only the dungeon master's room is filled with the breath of death?

Cardan looked around with a suspicious look, and soon found a piece of parchment on the altar-like surface.

"Isn't this human language?" He looked at the parchment, which had unknown words written on it.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a language that humans can understand. It's a language that exists outside the human world.

"Luna. Can you read this?" He asked Luna with a glimmer of hope. Luna walked closer and looked at the parchment on the altar.

"Yes. It's the language of the demons. And this is the demon's instruction book." Luna frowned after confirming the parchment.

"The demon's order?" Cardin asked. Luna nodded and read out what was written on the parchment.

"Keep the sacrifices captured in the southern orcs' habitat in the wizard's cemetery. If there are intruders as usual, capture them and place them on the altar."

Hearing her voice, Cardin looked at Luna with a surprised expression. "Can you read the first part again?"

Luna nodded and read the contents of the parchment again. Cardin looked at the sky with a shocked expression. "If this is the habitat of the southern orcs, then it must be..."
