Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

In the broken temple, only two small green flames were barely dispelling the darkness.

"Wild boar, why is there no news? When will the sacrifice be ready? Is it too late?"

A sharp male voice came from behind the statue, and a man wearing a fox mask slowly walked towards the center of the temple.

"Damn it!" Then, angry curses rang out in the darkness.

Dongdong! Dongdong! With the sound of heavy footsteps, a woman wearing a wild boar mask walked towards the center of the temple.

"I just made a reasonable request, why are you so angry?"

The fox mask looked at the boar mask walking towards him and signaled him to calm down. The woman stopped and said tremblingly.

"The magician's cemetery has been raided. It is a forbidden area. It must be closed."

"What? No, even ordinary mercenaries wouldn't go there, right? It's a dungeon that's not worth conquering for humans, right?"

"Hmm. It seems that some people with strength above mid-level mercenaries came. Chimera is also dead. The altar is also destroyed." The Boar Mask stomped his feet impatiently.

"Damn it! That's a dungeon I cherish very much! Aaaahhh!" the woman screamed, and the fox mask blocked her ears with her fingers and shook her head.

"Compared to that, how about the sacrifice? When will it be given to me?" asked the fox mask, and the boar mask stopped being angry and lowered his voice.

"No. The rat sent to catch the sacrifice also died."

"That rat? Why did the guy in the orc habitat die? No, was he killed by the expedition team?"

"No. Although the expedition team did capture the orc habitat, there are no rumors or stories about the demons."

"Wait. So was it someone else who killed him? Before the expedition killed the orcs?" Fox Mask asked in surprise, while Boar Mask shrugged and nodded.

"Yeah. I went to the attacked orc habitat this morning. But I didn't feel any of Light's magic there."

"Could it be that there is no trace of the demons left at all? Just like when the bat died?"

"Yes. Of course, the magic stone, and the magic power of the demons is not left. How and by whom the rat was killed, there is no way to know."

"Maybe the guy who killed the bats also killed the rats?" Fox Mask asked, and Boar Mask smacked his lips and nodded.

"Let's talk about this once we get together. There's no point in us arguing here, it will only make us angry."

"Okay. It's settled then."

"I will prepare 10 high-ranking mercenaries as emergency sacrifices. They won't be as strong as the graduates of the Hero Academy, but they can still be used."

"Wild boar, you are wrong, aren't you? You don't want to use just 10 high-ranking mercenaries to deal with me?"

"The plan has failed. There's nothing we can do about it. Just accept it." "I made it clear that the sacrifice you give me must be a Hero Academy graduate."

After the fox mask said this firmly, it turned coldly and disappeared into the darkness.

The boar mask looked at his receding back and gritted his teeth.

Huh... After the Fox Mask disappeared, a bonfire went out, and the Boar Mask was left alone in the darkness, muttering to the void.

"First, I need to find out the information of the guy who attacked the dungeon. Who dares to attack my dungeon..."

a few days later.

"Hey, Cardin. Are you really not going with us? Don't say you miss us and come to see us secretly in the future. Let's go together now."

In the square of a small village not far from the orc habitat, Cardin, Klose, Lucas and Arad gathered together for a conversation.

"Yeah. Cardin, there aren't many opportunities to train with graduates, right? Let's go together."

"During the break, I will feed you as much as you want! My cooking skills are extraordinary. I am an expert in wild cuisine. Let's go!"

After Klose, Lucas and Arad continued to suggest that Cardin go with them, but Cardin's answer remained the same.

"I am satisfied to be able to say goodbye like this. Besides, haven't I already competed and trained with the graduates?"

Although he refused solemnly, he made a light-hearted joke to avoid the atmosphere becoming too serious. The three people nodded helplessly.

"At least we should be content to have had breakfast together. No, why should we, the seniors, treat the juniors like this?"

"Yeah. Whatever Cardin said. Just a first year necromancer."

"He's a celebrity~ an amazing person~" Cardin chuckled with a regretful mutter.

"I look forward to how much you will grow after the break. Seniors." Although they tried to change their tactics, Cardin did not give in, so the three of them surrendered and raised their hands.

"But, Cardin, why do you want to go to the academy? Isn't there still some time before the break?" Klose asked, and Lucas next to him also widened his eyes with curiosity.

"Yes. Cardin, are you going home? Won't your parents be waiting for you?"

Bang! "You bastard!"

At this time, Klose next to him patted his head.

"Ah! Why are you hitting me!"

"Stupid Lucas. How did you become a magician? Seeing you, I feel that the future of magicians is very bleak." Lucas, who was hit on the head, squatted on the ground with his head covered. Klose and Arad smacked their lips and looked at him with disappointment.

Seeing this, Cardin chuckled and waved his hand in reply.

"I want to use the laboratory at the academy. I don't have a laboratory yet." Klose walked closer to Cardin and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Really? Well, you have your own way of training, too. I respect that."

"Thank you."

"No matter what, we have to set off. If we want to reach our destination today, we have to act quickly." Klose patted Lucas who was squatting on the ground, shook his head, and started on the road.
