Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 280: Magnificent Opening

It has been a month since I started training with Dimitar.

"Are all Guardians like this?" He had a painful time training with Gilbert before.

Thanks to that training camp, he was able to reach 8 stars, but he didn't want to be trained by Gilbert anymore.

I thought there was no more cruel training method in the world.

"I didn't expect there is someone more cruel than Gilbert." However, Dimitar used a more vicious training method than Gilbert and tortured Cardin crazily.

The formal training itself was not particularly unusual. If it was ordinary, it was ordinary enough to be called ordinary training.

Battle.

Dimitar said that for necromancers other than knights, all he could teach was experience, so he personally participated in the battle.

Without even looking at him, he attacked as if he was going to kill Cardin, and only stopped attacking him right before he was about to die.

It was called a battle, but the opponent was one of the strongest guardians in the kingdom. It was definitely not easy to continue a battle with such a guardian sincerely participating for a month.

The formal training started in the morning and lasted until late at night, so Cardin had no freedom during the training. And this was just the beginning.

"But, shouldn't you get some sleep?" Dimitar launched sneak attacks on Cardan at all times, claiming that he could respond to attacks at any time.

When eating, walking, and even sleeping. Therefore, not only eating, but also sleeping cannot be peaceful.

Because you don't know where Dimitar's attack will come from, you have to stay nervous at all times.

This month was a painful time for Cardan, who had gone through countless hardships.

"But it does help." Of course, Dimitar's training is not all pain.

Although Cardan's month was painful, it was also a month in which he could gain a lot.

"That's probably enough combat experience." Dimitar approached Cardin, who was resting on the floor of the training ground, and began to speak.

Cardin quickly stood up and answered as Dimitar approached.

"Is the training camp over?"

"Yes. Take a good rest today." Dimitar looked at Cardin with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Even Mathias could only last half a month of training, but he lasted a month." The one designated as the Guardian's successor did not persist until the end of the training, but Cardin persisted.

"Charlotte. You actually raised such a monster child." Of course, Dimitar could only be positive about Cardin, and his eyes were filled with love without him knowing when.

"If he wasn't a necromancer, I would have really wanted to train him into a knight. What a pity." Dimitar showed a regretful expression and stretched out his hand to Cardin.

"It's definitely improved, so there's no doubt about it." Snap! Cardin immediately grabbed his hand and stood up to answer.

“I never doubted it. I was really feeling my progress.” Often, getting stronger or improving isn’t easy to spot.

But Cardin was aware of his own changes. This was because every time he confirmed his growth, it would happen.

"I barely managed to dodge a surprise attack half a month ago, but after that I could easily dodge attacks, and a week ago I even managed to counterattack successfully."

Dimitar sighed in his heart. After the formal training, during Cardin's rest time, he secretly launched long-range attacks at Cardin to torture him.

Initially, he managed to dodge the attacks with great difficulty, but now he is aware of them even in his sleep and can dodge and even fight back.

In this situation, how is it possible not to feel growth?

"You said you were going north?"

"Yes. I have to go to the place my father mentioned. Before that I have to deal with a demon."

"Is it the man with the horned deer mask? I heard Gilbert and Owen Douglas talking about him a few days ago."

While fighting was taking place on the western front, Pecos, wearing a horned deer mask, broke into Douglas alone.

Owen Douglas fought the Pecos to defend the city.

"It is said that they are a very powerful demon." Owen is known as a powerful magician after Gilbert.

Can Cardin defeat an opponent that even Owen failed to defeat on his own?

"Even if you accept my training, you are still worried." Although you become stronger through training, worry is inevitable.

The opponent is a noble demon. Can Cardin defeat an opponent that even Owen Douglas couldn't defeat on his own?

"If you want, I can go with you. How about it?" Anyway, the war with the barbarians is over, so there is no need to stay in Eloksam.

Moreover, defeating the noble demons is not only Cardin's personal business, but also the wish of the Kingdom Army.

The title of helping Cardin is sufficient, and if Cardin agrees, no one will stop Dimitar from leaving. In other words, there is no problem.

"It's okay. I should be able to go alone." But Cardin immediately rejected Dimitar's proposal.

Although he is more reliable than anyone else, things will become complicated if Dimitar is captured by the demons.

"If it's inconvenient, it might be better to go with Matthias." Matthias is a reliable person who can be trusted at any time.

Going with him will definitely help a lot.

"No need. I'll go alone." Matthias was also one of the people targeted by the demons. If he went with them, he would definitely become the target of the demons.

Therefore, Cardan decided to go alone. Cardan's destination was the farthest place among the places occupied by the demons.

There was no need to force Mathias to go over there.

"Well, since you're so stubborn, I can't suggest anything more. Well. It's been a hard month."

"Thanks to you, I can grow. Thank you. Mr. Dimitar."

"The war hero asks for help, what can we do? We can only give our full support." Dimitar said jokingly, and Cardin felt his ears turn red for no reason and nodded.

"Come to think of it, the name people call you by seems to have changed."

"What?" Cardin didn't have time to pay attention to names or anything like that. He had to stay on edge all the time, so how could he have time to pay attention to rumors or names?

Cardin nodded cautiously and asked, "What kind of embarrassing nickname will I be given this time?"

"Terminator. Or the hero who ends the war. That's what they call you." Cardin's face turned red again. Seeing this, Dimitar held his stomach and laughed.

A week later.

"Are you ready, Mr. Hero who stops the war?" Belid asked Cardin, who was resting on the first floor, in a joking voice.

"Can't you just call me by my name?" Cardin answered with a weak face while drinking orange juice.

"Okay, okay. Cardin. Are you ready?"

"Yes. I rested well and spent a lot of time with Mathias-senpai and the talkative guys."

Because of training with Dimitar, there was no time to invest in anything else.

After training was completely over, Cardin was able to spend time with people he hadn't seen in a long time, and that week felt very short.

"How is it? Are you confident?" Belid asked Cardan with a worried look, and Cardan smiled and nodded.

"Yes. Very confident." The answer was simple. His calm answer was full of confidence.

"When did you become so confident?" Belid looked at Cardin and chuckled softly, then nodded and stretched out his hand.

"Then let's go. The location is the mine near the city of Robain. Right?"

"Yes. Please," Cardin replied, holding her hand and Belid sighed.

"I didn't expect to go there again." Cardin held her hand, and Belid immediately activated his magic power. Soon, the vision of the two people changed rapidly.

Whoosh! After opening my eyes surrounded by bright light, my vision completely changed.

The mine near Robain. After rescuing the people who were living as slaves of the demons in Robain, I came here again with deep feelings.

"Professor. I can handle it by myself. You can go back now."

"Really? You don't need my help?"

"Yes. Anyway, after I kill that guy, I will go back."

"To where Lady Charlotte's estate lies?"

"Yes. If there's any danger..." Cardin continued, pointing to the necklace hanging around his neck.

"Is this necklace not responding? Please come and help me then." Hearing this, Belid smiled with relief and nodded.

"Don't trust teleportation too much, Cardan. What's the point of coming to pick you up after Cardan dies?"

"Yes. If there is a dangerous situation, I will try to hold on until the professor comes." Cardin said with a smile, and then Belid sighed briefly and shook his head.

"Be careful then. Cardin."

Whoosh! After Belid left, Cardan was the only one left in the mine. He immediately walked towards the city gate.

after awhile.

"Here we go again." Arriving where he could see the walls of Robain, Cardan chuckled as he recalled his old memories.

I have the thrilling memory of using a trebuchet to hurl a monster corpse and seeing it explode the moment it hits the city wall.

"The city walls have been repaired." Cardin wanted to relive the memory of that time again.

"The City of the Dead." Activating his magic power and using magic, he began to build a building where Cardan stretched out his hand.

Coo coo coo coo! The building made of bones gradually grew larger, and soon it was completed in the shape of a small castle. Castle made of bones.

Click! The city gate opened, and the skeleton soldiers who seemed to be waiting inside began to walk out one after another.

Then, on the wall made of bones, a cold presence looked down at Cardan.

"You will command the Skeleton Army." Cardan gave the order to the being on the city wall.

"As you command, my master." A cold voice came from the wall. The owner of the cold voice was a "Lich" that could be summoned after reaching 8 stars.

A top-level undead lich that can only be resurrected from the corpse of a great magician. Summon and resurrect the undead like a necromancer, using all kinds of magic to revive the undead.

The lich, one of the strongest undead, made his first appearance. Whoosh. Then Cardan and Dullahan summoned the Death Knights together.

"I'll leave the Death Knights in your care, Chick."

"Obey the master's orders." The command of the Skeleton Army was handed over to the Lich.

The command of the Death Knights was handed over to Dullahan. In this way, Cardan opened the alien space this time and issued orders inside.

"Come out." Tap, tap. Then, a man in armor slowly walked out from the other dimension.

"Franken. You just need to protect me. There's no need to stand up and fight."

"Yes." Franken nodded and drew his sword from his waist. Cardin, who confirmed the scene, finally summoned Luna.

"What? Why are you here?" Luna asked Cardin, chuckling at the familiar sight.

"I was a 7 star last time, so I ran away. Now I'm an 8 star, so let's challenge again."

"Is that the guy with the deer mask?"

"Yes."

"Is it possible? You didn't call me for a month, and I thought something happened. I didn't expect you would want to come here again."

"Well, I am confident this time. I have also made sufficient preparations." Cardin activated his magic power again and started to build catapults on the vast plain.

"Luna."

"Ok?"

"After all, we should start off with something more spectacular, right?"
