Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Soon after. Behind a huge bush.

"I'm sorry, Luna. Things have changed." Cardin, wearing a black mask, bowed to Luna, who was wearing a loose dress.

"I wanted to let you rest a little longer, but I had to summon you immediately."

"I told you to summon it as soon as we arrived. I've been waiting, why haven't you summoned it yet?" Luna said it was okay and patted Cardin's shoulder gently.

"Having said that, it is indeed different. After being summoned again, I checked and found that several restrictions have been lifted."

Luna felt good instead, jumping up and down, clenching and unclenching her fists, checking her physical condition. Soon, Luna, waving her short arms, nodded and looked at Cardin again.

"Has the situation changed?"

"A friend I know was captured by orcs. It seems to be related to the sacrifice written in the instruction book." Luna frowned when she heard Cardin's answer.

"What are those demon guys thinking?"

"Also, the orcs seem to be stronger than expected. The expedition team was defeated. The losses seem to be quite heavy."

"So, the expedition team can't take action right now?" Cardin nodded and pointed towards the bushes.

"You'll see orcs after here. There are more of them than you imagined." After hearing this, Luna raised her hind legs, stretched her neck, and checked the scene on the other side of the bush.

The place that Kadan pointed to was where the orcs gathered. It was the orc tribe.

"Tsk." Her smacking of lips was filled with sighs.

"They are very strong. More than half of them are subordinates of the demon clan."

"More than half?" Cardan opened his eyes wide in surprise and stood up to look outside the bushes. The huge orcs gathered in the tribe all looked very powerful.

"Cardan. No matter how strong you become, it's going to be hard for the two of us to win. Got that?"

If the demon has more than one subordinate, it will be difficult even for Cardin and Luna.

Luna squatted back behind the bushes to hide her body, and continued with a sigh.

"Especially, we can sense the presence of demons not far away. They are at least low-level demons."

In addition, with the presence of low-level demons, even if the expedition team arrived, there was no way to rescue the captured Klose and his companions.

"Don't worry. I don't intend to force it." Unlike before, Cardin did not show any panic in this urgent situation.

Instead, he was calmer than ever. Whoosh. Whoosh. Then, three ghosts appeared behind him.

Fortunately, although it didn’t turn out to be a perfect night due to the cloudy weather, the ghosts still responded to Cardan’s call.

"Why did you suddenly summon a ghost? Didn't you see the orc warlock?" Looking at Luna who asked the question, Cardin just smiled and didn't give an accurate answer.

"The orcs have captured three people. Whether they are orcs or demons, if they want to take the captured people away, two should follow and one should come to report to me."

Instead, by instructing the ghost, Luna can guess Cardin's intentions.

-Yes sir!

-I know! Master!

- I'll report it, Master!

The ghosts responded briefly to Cardan's orders and quickly flew towards the orc tribe.

"What do you want to do?" Luna asked in a serious voice with her eyes wide open.

"If we follow what is written in the demon's instruction book, they will take the sacrifice from here and take it to the magician's cemetery, right?"

"Yeah, that's what he said."

"So whether it's the demons or the orcs, they will act alone when transporting the sacrifice. There shouldn't be too many guards, right?"

"Hmm. So... you want to follow the guys who transported the captured people?"

"Yeah. We have to wait until they are far away from the orc tribe."

"From the perspective of the present situation, this may be the safest method." It would be smoother if the newly prepared expeditionary force could arrive sooner, but we cannot just wait.

Most importantly, the expedition team cannot deal with so many orcs alone.

"Only with the addition of reinforcements can we fight a proper battle. The current expeditionary force has suffered heavy losses."

I hope that the captured Klose, Lucas and Arad can be taken away as late as possible. This is the best option now.

"Even though it's 5 stars, summoning Luna still consumes more than half of my magic power. Is it because of the restrictions that were lifted?"

The magic stones hidden under the altar have more power than the magic stones that Cardan originally found. All 13 of them. In terms of quality, can it be said to be high-level?

Fortunately, Cardan, who absorbed 13 high-quality soul crystals, reached 5 stars. As soon as Cardan reached 5 stars, he immediately began to prepare for the battle.

"Before the ghosts come, we must recover as much magic power as possible." Cardin slowly closed his eyes and concentrated on recovering his magic power. He gained more magic power than before, and his magic core also made a leap forward.

Is that all? The fatigue disappeared and the physical ability was greatly improved. At this level, it was about the same as the physical ability of 4-star knights.

"I reached 5 stars, but had to fight without any training. I might not be able to use unfamiliar forces better." Although he had no actual combat experience, his mind was filled with knowledge about 5 stars.

Recovering his magic power, waiting for the expedition team, and waiting for news from the ghosts. This was the best option Cardin could make in his anxiety.

A moment later... .

-Master, Master! A ghost came flying at high speed and woke up Cardan who was hiding in the bushes.

"Tsk. The expedition team is late." Cardin, who was recovering his magic power, slowly opened his eyes as the ghost appeared. Luna next to him also stood up and looked at the ghost.

"Report." As the ghost approached, Cardin gestured for it to report expressionlessly.

-There was a big rat with three orcs, and they started moving with the captured people!
