Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 278 Rage

"Then I'll try it myself first." Mathias said confidently, as if he wanted to test his own strength.

"Really? The opponent is a top demon."

"Yeah. If you can't hold on, come and help me." Matthias said. He had never had a proper fight with top-level demons.

It seems that it is rare for top-level demons to appear on the front lines. Even if top-level demons do appear, there will be guardians or family head-level figures participating in the battle.

"What will happen?" Thinking of this, Cardan was naturally curious about the fighting style of Matthias and the top demons.

Is the holy power obtained through the holy object also effective against the top demons? If Matthias, who has reached the 8th star level, uses the holy power, can he fight the top demons on an equal footing?

Matthias would also be curious whether his power could work against top demons.

"Then I'll go." Matthias said with a smile, and immediately released magic power with the shield he was holding.

The shield containing magic power immediately converted that power into holy power and returned it to Matthias.

Buzz! Matthias' body began to glow with a faint golden aura.

Cardan was also not impressed with the Holy Force, so the power that Mathias unleashed was very unpleasant.

"Even I feel so uncomfortable with the holy power, the demons should feel even more uncomfortable." The power of the holy object is enormous.

It actually allows people who are not paladins to freely use the Holy Power. And it seems that Matthias has received considerable training from the guardian "Dimitar" and is proficient in manipulating the Holy Power.

Whoosh! After getting ready, Matthias immediately rushed towards the demon wearing a gorilla mask with a serious expression.

"Tsk. A tough guy showed up." He came here to incite the barbarians to fight, but he didn't expect that there would be so many undead. Now even a guy using holy power has shown up.

The demon cursed in his heart and activated his demon power. But the emotion the demon showed was not fear.

Instead, as if he liked the situation, laughter came from behind the gorilla mask.

Awoooooooooooooo! In an instant, the attacks containing holy power and magic power collided in the air, making a huge explosion.

"Luna, I have a question that I'm curious about." After the battle between Mathias and the demons began, Cardin crossed his arms and asked Luna next to him. Luna gestured to Cardin with a questioning expression, and Cardin looked at the demons and asked.

"You know that demon has survived from long ago, right?"

"and then?"

"Do demons also become stronger the longer they live?" There is a history of people who call themselves "gods" wearing gorilla masks for hundreds of years.

And Luna said that those wearing gorilla masks are at least top-level demons.

"No, that's not the case. The demons decided on that level of strength from the very beginning."

"is it?"

"Yes. Demons don't grow. It can be said that their strength is determined from birth."

"Even if you live for hundreds of years, you will become weaker?"

"Yeah. With more experience comes corresponding development, but it won't be explosive growth like humans."

"So that guy has been a top-level demon from the beginning?"

"I'm not sure, but it should be. Or he was originally a top-level demon, and later obtained the power of the Demon King and became stronger." In other words, there is no other way for demons to become stronger except to gain power from stronger demons.

"There are guys who occasionally absorb power and become stronger, but those are exceptional demons," Luna explained, chuckling.

Awww!While Cardin and Luna were talking, the battle between Mathias and the masked gorilla continued.

"The seniors are at a disadvantage." Unfortunately, Matthias gradually lost the upper hand.

Although he had reached the 8th-star realm and could freely use his holy power, his opponent was a demon of the highest level, namely, a noble demon.

"If it's a top demon, Senior should win." Noble level. Same level as Hamilton, the former guardian, or Pecos, the demon wearing a horned deer mask.

Cardan immediately activated his magic power. If the battle dragged on for too long, Matthias might be in danger, so he planned to join the battle immediately.

"Luna. Let's go." Cardin said, taking out the troll's body from the warp and placing it on the ground.

Whoosh! Cardan immediately made a dagger out of bones and inflicted a wound on the troll's body.

Maybe it was because it was kept so fresh, but the wound started to bleed.

Whoosh! The troll's blood slowly floated into the air along with Cardan's hand.

"I'll go first." Seeing that scene, Luna chuckled and immediately ran towards the demon wearing a gorilla mask.

Instantly, she came to the side of the man wearing the gorilla mask and kicked him with her foot filled with red light.

Boom! Unable to dodge Luna's attack, the demon flew to the back. Seeing that scene, Matthias was shocked in his heart.

"It's Cardin's vampire, right? If Cardin summoned that vampire during training..." Incredible power burst out from the tiny body.

Although it was a surprise attack, he didn't expect that he could so easily defeat the demon that Mathias had been trying so hard to catch.

"Tsk. It's blocked." Luna looked at the demon flying far away and crashing into a tree, frowning regretfully. It seems that the surprise attack did not work well.

"Senior Cardin over there." Luna secretly turned around and called Mathias.

"I?"

"Yeah. You and I have some incompatible attributes. Be careful with each other."

"What? Ah, yeah. Okay." I didn't expect to feel such leadership from a child. Matthias sneered and nodded.

"Even vampires have joined the battle. It's been a while since we've had this much fun." The man wearing the gorilla mask slowly stood up and released the power of the demons once again.

Hooooooooooo! It seems that he intends to use a lot of power this time. The increase in power alone is enough to put pressure on Cardin, Mathias, and Luna.

Whoosh! The most difficult thing for the demons is people who use holy power. Is that the reason? The one wearing the gorilla mask flew into the air and dived towards Mathias first.

The moment his fist, filled with crimson aura, was about to hit Matthias.

Awoooooooooooooooo! Matthias quickly raised his shield and released his holy power.

"Damn it!" Just then. Whoosh! Dozens of magic circles appeared around the demons, and chains made of blood sprang out from there and grabbed the demons.

"Do you think this magic can bind me?"

The demon smiled and began to struggle against his restraints using only strength.

Swoosh! The 8-star Necromancer's binding magic. Although the chains are made of blood, it is a very advanced binding magic, so ordinary power cannot unlock this magic.

Snap! However, his extraordinary strength began to easily break the chains made of blood.

"Your fighting style is very similar to mine? Sure enough, fighting with bare hands is fun, right?" While struggling to break free from the restraints, Luna appeared in front of the demon.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Bang! Bang! He hit the demons with his fists filled with red light.

"Damn it!" Did this attack seem to be effective? A groan came from behind the demon's mask.

Kaaaaa! The demon gathered his strength, and soon he was able to break free from Cardan's binding magic.

"Eat it no matter what. Vampire!" As if stimulated by Luna's speed, the gorilla mask, which was freed from its restraints, punched Luna.

"What are you talking about? Who was eaten?" Luna chuckled and immediately stepped back on the ground.

"Can you catch her?" The gorilla mask immediately rushed towards Luna and punched her.

KAAAAH! However, his fist hit the shield that Matthias was holding.

Whoosh! As the demon's fist touched the shield filled with holy power, golden fire ignited, and the demon shook off the burning hand as if annoyed.

In an instant, the demons seemed to realize something, hesitated for a moment, and quickly retreated.

“Strange.” If I continue to fight, it seems that I will be dragged down. Why are you so excited? It’s very strange. I have lived for so long and have never been so excited.

I encountered a variety of enemies, but I was never so excited.

"That vampire isn't weird. Why am I so excited?" He lost his composure from the beginning, so he didn't feel the stimulation applied.

He rushed forward blindly. Even if his opponent was two people who had reached the 8th level and a vampire with a power of 7 or above, he would not lose his composure.

But why? The demon tilted his head in confusion. From a distance, an arrow made of blood flew over.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! If there is no holy power, there is no reason to dodge.

Kaaaaaah! The demon waved his hand filled with crimson aura and easily knocked down the arrow. The moment his fist touched, the blood arrow exploded, but it did not cause much damage.

but.

"Why so angry?" Angry at the human who fired a trivial attack.

It was just a blood arrow. Was it ignoring me? Was it trying to knock me down with the blood arrow? Negative thoughts kept filling his mind.

The anger that started from nowhere continued to boil over.

"You've lived for hundreds of years, but you're so weak?" At this time, Cardan held a blood arrow in one hand and laughed at the demons sarcastically.

Hearing that, the demon lost his composure again, and rushed towards Cardin with the power of the demon. The demon closed the distance in an instant and punched hard.

Whoosh! However, his fist only cut through precious air. Cardin used the teleportation magic in his ring to quickly distance himself and quickly escape from the attack range.

"Damn human!" Just when he was about to fight back.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! This time, arrows filled with golden energy shot towards the demons.

"Damn it!" Although he tried to dodge the attack, the arrow shot by Matthias pierced the demon's shoulder. The pain from the wound spread.

In addition, he was hit by an attack containing holy power and felt that his strength was disappearing rapidly.

"Damn human!" He stretched out his hand to grab the approaching Matidis.

Puff! This time, Luna stretched her legs and kicked the demon away. For some reason, every time she uttered a word filled with anger, humans and vampires would take turns to attack.

Like a well-fed pride of lions mocking their prey.

"I am the prey?" The demon sneered.

"Remain calm. This is not an exciting thing. This injury is nothing." In order to stay spirited, the demon comforted himself and took a deep breath.

"Why can't you help but sigh?" Cardan asked, chuckling at the demon.

"what?"

"I get angry over trivial things, become sensitive, and therefore irritable. I am the same." How can he be so calm in front of the noble demons?

"How dare humans look down on the demons!"

"Look at this. Easily excited." Hearing Cardin's words, the demon was instantly stung. Thinking carefully, he fell into the insignificant provocation again.

"Is this what you did?" The demon realized something and glared at Cardin.

"It's a curse I learned recently, but it's more useful than I thought. Of course, it might be dangerous if I used it alone."

Cardin said, looking at Matthias who was emitting a golden aura. Matthias and Cardin looked at each other and nodded.

"Now I have a solid shield protecting me, so I can use it with confidence."

"You tiny human! How dare you! Insult me!" After saying that, the demon could no longer speak.

Matthias and Luna rushed forward madly, leaving wounds on the demons, and Cardin tortured the demons with magic and curses from a distance.

"As expected. Older doesn't mean stronger."
