Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

“Have you reached five stars?” Cardin nodded nonchalantly in response to Isaac’s question.

“No, when…” This was simply unbelievable. Normally, it would take about a year to go from four stars to five stars.

It takes more than just one year. Only through continuous practice, endurance, and going through difficult times can you eventually reach five stars.

Such extraordinary and rapid growth can only be described as "talent". If it is not so.

"Cardan, have you used the magic stone?" Using the magic stone harnesses the power of the demons and gains power at the cost of one's soul.

"No." Cardin shook his head decisively, and Isaac opened his mouth in surprise. Although he did absorb the power of the demons, he did not use the magic stone to become a demon, so he was not lying.

Cardin looked at Isaac calmly, and soon Isaac spoke again while stroking his neck.

"Can you summon a Death Knight?" Isaac asked cautiously, and Cardan nodded. The Death Knight is a representative undead of a five-star necromancer.

The mere fact that he summoned the Death Knight was enough to prove that Cardan had reached five stars.

Whoosh - Cardin stretched out his hand and called Karlock in his mind. Then, a puff of black smoke blew out from the axe tattoo engraved on his wrist. As the black smoke spread, a knight in terrible armor walked out.

"Meet the Lord." Armor and weapons made of the fire of death, the appearance of a knight resurrected from the dead.

“Death Knight….” Isaac looked at Cardan’s Death Knight Karlock and swallowed.

"I used the orc corpse I got during my vacation to summon a death knight. This kind of death knight may be made of an orc warrior."

"Yes, that's right," Cardin replied with a nod, and Isaac turned his gaze to Cardin again and said.

"But Cardan, in order to strengthen the Death Knight's magic, another Death Knight is needed." The necromancy he created, the method of strengthening the Death Knight requires more than two Death Knights.

Isaac said regretfully, and Cardin immediately stretched out his hand and blew out a puff of black smoke again.

"Greetings, my Lord." Then, another Death Knight appeared, and Isaac looked at Cardan and the Death Knight again with disbelief.

"Is there anything more surprising to me?" Cardin smiled and nodded in response to Isaac's question.

"Do not."

“Just became five-star, and there are already two Death Knights.” And it’s not just any ordinary Death Knight. The Orc Death Knight Karok looks powerful, but the newly summoned Death Knight looks even more powerful.

Unlike the Orc Death Knights, whose green flames were only adorned on their armor and axes, the new Death Knights are adorned with flames all over their bodies.

"A Death Knight made from a Knight of at least 7 stars or above." Where on earth could one get such a Death Knight?

"Kadan couldn't have killed someone just to create a Death Knight." Could it be that the Death Knight was obtained during this mission?

No matter how I think about it, if Cardan doesn't speak up, there's no way to know the truth. Asking about this matter is itself a disrespectful act between necromancers.

"Very good." Isaac could only express the admiration he felt now. "Really amazing. Such a Death Knight is really hard to come by..."

This was an overly powerful Death Knight for a Necromancer who had just become a five-star.

"I'm lucky." Cardan answered nonchalantly. He could not reveal the fact that the death knight was Anthony, the kingdom's knight.

"It would be troublesome if I accidentally revealed that the necromancer who went outside the walls of Trafalgar for special operations was me." Cardin smiled briefly and continued.

"Is there anything else we need to prepare?" In response to Cardin's question, Isaac nodded to indicate that it was enough.

"Start now?"

"Yes. If it's okay with you, professor, I would like to learn now." Although he had completed a difficult task and needed a rest, Cardin showed a strong desire to learn.

"There is no time to spend leisurely." Facing high-level demons, there is no time to spend leisurely. The high-level demons encountered in the Dark Elf Forest are not opponents that Cardan, who has become a five-star, can deal with.

An insurmountable barrier. An uncrossable river. No matter how you describe it, it is an opponent too powerful to describe.

And there was no way to avoid encountering such demons, so Cardan was in a very urgent mood.

"Okay." Isaac nodded soon after observing Cardin's condition. Although he had completed the task, he did not seem very tired and his will was very firm.

Plus, I was already prepared to learn, so there was no reason to refuse.

"Then let's get started right away."

News of Duchess Florian's disappearance reaches the Hero Academy.

"I heard that the Duchess who was entrusted to Mathias, Cardin, and Blanche disappeared this time."

The meeting room of the professors and instructors of the Hero Academy began with a discussion on the disappearance of Duchess Florian.

"Has a search party been sent out?"

"It is said that she doesn't even know where she is going. She will be in the city until she meets the students who came to carry out the mission."

"What about the commission fee?"

"No, the person has disappeared. Should we consider the commission fee first? We are members of the Hero Academy, not the Thieves Guild or the Mercenary Guild."
