Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 282 Complete Collection

The world of the dead. A place where the living are not allowed to enter. If a living being enters, the dead will attach themselves to it and slowly devour its vitality.

However, Cardin, who used the Blood Incarnation, could move freely here. Not only that, he could even exert a stronger power than in the original world.

"I can do it here. Kill you." The bloody dagger wielded by Cardan easily slashed through Pecos' body.

Having lost his arm and being held by the dead man's hand, Pecos couldn't even mount a decent fightback.

"Do you think that if you kill me, the world will change? Don't be so arrogant, weak human." Pecos said in a hoarse voice while being caught by the dead man's hand.

"A weak human is going to kill a demon like you. You're really talkative." Cardin didn't seem to want to listen to his nagging at all. He was not interested in the teasing of the hoarse tongue at all.

Hulululu! When Cardan reached out his hand to Pecos, blood-red chains appeared around Pecos and wrapped around his body.

"Is it not just the physical ability that has improved?" Even if the arm was cut off, it should be easy to break free from this level of restraints with strength.

Snap, snap, snap...! However, no matter how hard he struggled, the chain did not break. On the contrary, the more he tried to break free, the tighter the chain tightened around Pecos.

"Franken." Cardin called Franken who was waiting nearby while maintaining the bloody chain.

"Yes."

"Execute him."

"clear."

Whoosh. Franken replied expressionlessly, pulling out a sword from his waist.

Trample, tread. Franken's true form is a corpse mountain golem, so he can move freely even in the world of the dead.

As Franken slowly approached, Pecos felt a fear he had never felt in his life.

"Wait a minute!" He tried to struggle for his life. The majesty and authority were gone. Only the plea for life remained.

He didn't feel the fear and terror he had never felt before. Franken, who was only following orders, swung his sword without any sympathy.

Whoosh. Pecos turned into a puff of black smoke and was assimilated into the world of the dead.

"You're doing well even when I'm not here?" Cardin, who returned to the human world from the world of the dead, looked at the battlefield with a dry laugh.

The southern wall of Robain City has completely collapsed, and the number of demons has obviously decreased. In contrast, the number of undead seems to have not decreased at all.

The Death Knights led by Dullahan are still alive, and the Skeleton Legion is constantly resurrected under the command of the Lich in the City of the Dead.

Most importantly, the protagonist of this victory is the vampire "Luna".

She took over the overall command of the Undead Army on behalf of Cardan, and flew to support the Undead Army wherever the demons were dominant. Thanks to her, the battlefield was completely controlled by the Undead Army.

"Kadan, you're here?" Luna found Cardan and flew over quickly, and hurriedly checked Cardan's body. No wounds were found.

Luna couldn't help but sigh that she had fought against the noble demons but remained unscathed.

"Looks like you did a good job?" Luna said to Cardin as if nothing had happened, and Cardin smiled and nodded.

"Yes. But I didn't expect you to be such a good commander. Incredible." Cardin exclaimed sincerely, and Luna blushed and answered in an indifferent tone.

"That's because you don't command well on a normal basis. If this is amazing, then you need to work harder to improve your command?" Seeing that scene, Cardin smiled and put his hand on Luna's head.

"Then let's flatten it all at once."

"One breath?"

"Pecos is dead, and now there is no owner here. It would be better to let it become a ruin rather than letting other demons occupy it." Hearing this, Luna nodded and looked at Cardin with trusting eyes.

"I'll finish it as soon as possible." Luna said, flying somewhere. Cardin put his hands in his trouser pockets and watched the war leisurely.

After a while, the Undead Army dealt with the demons that appeared on the battlefield and immediately entered the city gate. There were no living people in Robain City. Only the demons existed in the city.

"Kill all the demons you see." Therefore, Luna could give orders at will, and the Undead Army went deep into the city without hesitation.

Although powerful demons occasionally appeared, Dullahan "Chik Grimwald" dealt with them, or Luna dealt with them quickly, so there was no hindrance.

When they arrived at the Lord's Mansion, there were no living demons in Robain City.

"What are you going to do with this city?" Luna, who stopped in front of the lord's mansion, asked Cardin who followed her.

"I'll have the ghosts check the city carefully. If there's anything you need, take it."

"It's dangerous to continue staying in this city. Maybe other demons have also heard the news?" If we delay time unnecessarily, we might go to war with the demons again.

"I don't plan to stay here too long." Of course, after fully absorbing the souls left on the battlefield, Cardin is in the best condition.

If the demon reinforcements appear, there will be no problem in starting a war again. But the place where Cardan wants to go is not Robain, but the place where the "holy object" is hidden deep in the north.

"Okay, let's get our stuff and get out."

"Yes. The sun is still high now, and the ghosts can't come here to report. Let's go in and take a look." Cardin pointed at the lord's mansion. Luna nodded and entered the lord's mansion first.

It was at that moment.

-Master! We have been waiting for you for a long time!

-We looked everywhere but found nothing special!

- Lots of ore! Lots of war materials!

-Unfortunately there is no food! Many ghosts appeared and began to report to Cardan.

"The demons don't seem to eat much. It's a bit regrettable, but the food is just so-so." Although he hoped for special magic items, unfortunately, there were only weapons, armor and ores in Lord Robin's mansion.

"If we give it to the resistance, they will make good use of it." If all the equipment and minerals were given to the resistance, it would definitely greatly enhance the resistance's combat effectiveness.

"Okay. Lead the way."

After collecting the necessary items in Robain City, Cardan immediately left the city through the north gate.

Since I had released the summoned undead, I felt a sense of emptiness for some reason.

"Forget it. The place we are going to now doesn't require too many troops." Cardan went deep into the north, looking for the place where the mercenary king said the holy relic was hidden.

According to the information provided by Jed, the holy relic found in this place exudes an ominous aura, and the Paladin who sensed this aura sealed it again.

Maybe they think this thing shouldn't exist in the world.

"Never mind, thanks to the Paladin, it's not hard to find." The Paladin used divine power to seal the dungeon where the holy relic was hidden.

In other words, Cardin only needs to chase the most ominous aura he senses in this forest.

"Right here." Soon, Cardin stopped in front of a huge tree.

"This tree is not an ordinary tree." The sacred power he felt from the tree made him frown involuntarily.

It looks like a tree, but it is not actually a living tree. It is a sculpture made by divine power that looks like a real tree.

It is a sealing method used by Paladins to block the entrance to the dungeon.

"Franken, try to cut down this tree," Cardan ordered, pulling out a huge axe from the warp and handing it to Franken.

This is also a weapon brought out from the Dragon's Nest.

“Yes, I understand.” Franken is also an undead, so he might feel ominous about the divine power, but he did not show any dissatisfaction and nodded immediately.

Franken took the axe, touched the handle, and then looked up at the huge tree.

Whoooooooooo! Franken swung the huge axe without hesitation.

Crack! The tree trunk made of divine power immediately split apart and fell to the ground.

"I think the weapon itself does not contain a power that is contrary to the divine power, so it is possible. As expected."

If blood magic or the magic of the Death Knight had been used, it would have been rebounded by the divine power, but Franken was just swinging the axe with pure strength.

As a result, the tree trunk made of divine power broke, and the entrance to the dungeon sealed by the Paladin was opened.

Awoooooooooooooooooooo! The moment the entrance opened, an ominous aura surged out. It felt like opening the door to hell, giving people goose bumps.

But there was a smile on Cardin's face.

Trample, tramp. Even though he sensed the eerie atmosphere, Cardin walked into the dungeon without hesitation.

Since the Paladin has already hunted here once, he will not encounter monsters in the dungeon.

Since the entrance is also sealed, no monsters can enter here.

"According to my father's clues, the things in this place originally belonged to Neropolis, right?"

Just in case, Cardin activated his magic and while exploring the dungeon, he stopped in front of an old wooden door.

"Right here." Feeling a strong ominous aura from the other side of the door, Cardin walked in with a smile.

Click. I opened the door and went in, finding a sword on an ornate weapon rack.

The ominous aura was of course emanating from the sword. There was a wooden board attached to the weapon rack with some words written on it.

"Misrikod..." Cardan immediately realized that the word written on the wooden board was the name of the sword, nodded, and stretched out his hand. The slender blade.

This sword, which is completely black, gives people a sense of majesty for some reason.

"Have you collected them all now?" Neropolis is very similar to the Road of the Dead. Anyone who enters without permission will be deprived of their freedom.

According to Charlotte's last words, if Cardan stayed in Neropolis for a long time without preparation, his existence might disappear.

Therefore, we need something that existed in Neropolis. The white coat that Charlotte left as a legacy, the old shoes that I got from the mercenary king, and the necklace that hung on the goddess statue.

“And the sword that has been found now, four in total.” Nothing special could be found on the white coat or shoes.

The necklace on the goddess statue seemed to cast some kind of "preservation" magic, but nothing else was found.

But this sword is different. Although it looks ordinary, the aura you feel from the sword is definitely extraordinary.

“Is it necessary to fight inside Neropolis as well?” Therefore, Charlotte might have brought this sword that exuded such a powerful aura and hid it here.

Cardin thought as he looked at the sword in his hand.

"What should we do? Should we go there right now?" Anyway, we won't be disturbed by anyone here.

And as long as you have the key of Neropolis, you can open the door to Neropolis anywhere.

Swish. Cardin seemed to have made up his mind, opened the alternate dimension, and took out a book from it.

The book he took out was "The Fundamentals of 1-Star Necromancer". When he opened the book, he found a black key in the shape of a key. It was the key that could open the door to Neropolis.

"Okay. I'll go right away."
