Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 287 Talent

"This is a crazy place." Wolfe prepared the studio for Cardin. Cardin looked around at the top materials rolling around and couldn't help laughing.

He is still alive today, and he can actually use dragon teeth to create undead creatures. And he can do it at will.

"No need to save. There are plenty of materials. How many dragon corpses have you collected?" Cardan looked at the dragon's teeth and remembered Wolf's words a few days ago.

-If you become the king of the Dead City, all the materials here will be yours.

So come on! The moment you become the king of the Dead City, all the knowledge and materials here will be in your hands.

This is a situation where you can't give up just because it's difficult. What if you reach the nine-star realm and can also master the power of the Dead City?

"At least I won't be hurt by the top demons." It may play a huge role in the war. Maybe I can drive the demons out of the world forever.

"The problem is that it's hard to find the right ratio." It's not as simple as mixing human bones and dragon teeth to create a dragon tooth soldier.

If the proportions were slightly different, the resulting skeletons might look like reptiles, or they might not even be able to walk properly.

It has been 3 days since I started making the Dragon Tooth Soldier, but I still haven't found the feeling.

"It's been a long time since I've been trapped in the studio like this, constantly scratching my bones." Although it was hard to concentrate on research all the time, it was strangely enjoyable.

This is the time when you can temporarily put down your heavy burdens and focus only on your job.

Although it was not easy, this kind of time to focus madly on one thing was very precious. Of course, he didn't want to give up.

"What? Haven't you found the proportions yet?" Just as he was concentrating on his research, the door of the studio opened and a translucent figure, Wolfe, appeared.

"I thought you were talented, but it seems you're not. It's been 3 days."

"Well, I won't make excuses." Since he began to study necromancy, he has never felt that he has no talent.

When he was studying at the Hero Academy, he always heard others say that he was talented. Even the strongest guardians of the kingdom were amazed at Cardin's talent.

"Do I really have no talent?" But after arriving in the City of the Dead, Cardan thought for the first time that he might not have any talent.

Although he concentrated on his research more than ever, he still couldn't find the feeling.

"Senior Wolfe, excuse me, could you demonstrate it again?"

"what?"

"Dragon Tooth Soldier."

"Yeah, that's not hard." After Cardin requested, Wolfe scoffed and snapped his fingers.

Crack! At the same time, the bone powder around Wolfe began to fly.

"I'll demonstrate it slowly, just watch carefully." Wolf picked up the dragon's fang rolling on the ground and injected magic power into it.

Woohoo! The tip of the dragon's fang, which contained magical power, turned into powder and flew around Wolf.

Woohoo! Soon, it began to mix and swirl with human bone powder. The blackened bone powder gradually began to take on the shape of a human.

Plop. Not long after, a skeleton soldier with a black skeleton finished up next to Wolf.

"Are you getting the idea?" Wolfe asked with a chuckle.

"I don't understand." However, Cardin still didn't understand and sighed deeply.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Wolfe seemed to have expected it, stuck out his tongue, then took out a book from his arms and handed it to Cardin.

"Take it."

"what is this?"

"This is the research Charlotte wrote here."

"Did Dad also work as a Dragon Tooth Soldier?"

"He's a feel-good guy." Charlotte learned a lot when she came to this place and then returned to the human world.

Starting from how to make a contract with a vampire, to how to summon the Blood Death and absorb its power.

He perfectly digested the various technologies created by the ancient necromancers and made them his own.

"Yeah. I didn't get to where I am today because of my talent. I just walked easily on the path my father paved for me."

He was lucky. He was lucky to have come this far. But now, three years after his death, Charlotte's help came again.

"I hope this helps." Cardin carefully took the book with Charlotte's name on it.

"If I were still an ordinary 20-year-old, I might not be willing to open this book because of my self-esteem." Self-esteem was hurt.

Even though he is already 20 years old and has become an eight-star, he still needs Charlotte's help.

He was still angry at the fact that he couldn't cross the barrier on his own.

"Although I don't want to do this kind of thing like the protagonist in the movie or novel." But now is not the time to care about my self-esteem.

The war didn't know when it would break out. He had to get stronger and go back as soon as possible.

If I become a Nine Star and return, the Kingdom of Libera will have been destroyed, then what's the point?

What if you procrastinate because you want to maintain your self-esteem and do it on your own, and end up with nothing?

"Yeah. I have no talent. I should admit that."

Cardin smiled easily and immediately turned the page.

[You who walk in my path.]

"Hmm?" The sentence was written in Charlotte's handwriting. Charlotte's handwriting was written for the future generations who would open this book.

[If you walk the path I have paved, do not feel sad because you have no talent.]

[Who can say that the person who found the City of the Dead and opened this book here has no talent?]

As if she had just read Cardin's thoughts, Charlotte left these words for future generations.

[Even though your necromancer talent may not be as good as mine. Generally speaking, it is difficult to surpass me.] This is undeniable.

He is known as the legendary necromancer. Everyone thinks he is the most talented person ever and recommends him.

From a talent perspective, it may be difficult to see such a talent in the next few generations.

[Acknowledge. Acknowledging your place is where growth begins. Don’t be ashamed to walk the path I paved.]

[Is it just luck? Can luck give me the chance to become the best necromancer?]

Cardin paused for a moment.

“Isn’t Dad watching me from somewhere, sending me a message?” This is the world of the dead.

Charlotte was also dead, so this wasn't impossible? Cardin felt something strange and looked around.

But there were only Cardin and Wolf in the studio, and there was no sense of magic.

[If you become the best necromancer with that luck, the 'luck' you have is the best talent. It is something no one else in the world has.]

['Luck' is also a skill. I hope you won't feel ashamed of your talent called 'luck'.] Reading these words, Cardin briefly recalled the appearance of Charlotte whom he met when he was first reborn as a newborn baby.

The middle-aged man once led the skeletons to a town that was in ruins due to war.

Cardin's "luck" began when he was rescued by that man.

"Dad is right, my luck this guy might be the best talent in the world?" Maybe it was because of the article Charlotte wrote?

I felt relaxed while flipping through the book.

Self-esteem? Talent? Luck? No word sounds harsh.

The books Charlotte left behind were merely a means to an end, neither more nor less.

Rustle. Cardin was concentrating on turning the pages of a book.

"Hey, descendant of Ingmar." Wolfe stopped Cardin as he was about to leave the studio.

"Yes. Senior Wolfe." Cardin, who was reading a book, shifted his gaze and looked at Wolfe. He smiled and spoke.

“Luck only comes to those who are prepared. No matter how lucky you are, you can achieve nothing without hard work.”

"What? What's happening all of a sudden?" Although it was a direct message, Cardin seemed to know what he wanted to say.

"It looks like your self-esteem has dropped?" Wolfe, who was always cold and ruthless, was uncoordinated in comforting others.

Clang! Wolfe immediately shook his head and left the studio. Cardin looked at the door he left and smiled.

"If you want to surpass my father and ancestor Wolf... Let's kill all the demons first and then think about it." Soon, Cardin looked at the books left by Charlotte with a meaningful expression.

A week later.

"My father is a real genius." After reading the books left by Charlotte, I began to have some inspiration and fully understood the books left by Charlotte.

Plop. Finally, the Dragon Tooth Soldier was successfully made.

"Ancient necromancy is difficult to understand, even for modern necromancers." Charlotte compiled a book to make Wolfe's teachings easier for future generations to understand.

Wolfe’s teaching is also remarkable, but so is Charlotte, who is able to write in a simple and understandable way.

"Well done. So, shall we move on to the next stage?" After making the Dragon Tooth Soldier, Wolfe was satisfied and wanted to move on to the next stage immediately.

"But, Senior Wolfe."

"what?"

"What is that qualifying test?"

"You'll know when the time comes. Just focus on your training." Every time I tried to find out the content of the test, Wolfe was not an easy person to deal with.

Wolfe is the kind of man who answers only the questions he wants to answer and asks only the questions he wants to ask.

No, it's the soul.

"Ok!"

"Starting today, we will start training to become a nine-star. Your talent is insufficient, so it will take some time." Wolf said, smacking his lips, but Cardin smiled, as if he was not in a bad mood.

"While researching the Dragon Fang Soldiers, you have also been training hard, right?"

"of course."

"Have you been using magic absorption?"

"Yes. It can now be used as intended. However..."

"but?"

"When the amount of magic power absorbed exceeds a certain amount, I will lose my mind." Cardin's words made Wolfe nod his head to show his understanding.

"You haven't learned how to control that. No one alive can use magic absorption." Charlotte couldn't use magic absorption either.

Although he had been to the City of the Dead, he did not die and be reborn.

"If the power gets out of control and only the mind is controlled, you will become a madman who will attack even your allies. Are you worried about this?" He nodded.

After arriving at the City of the Dead, he lost his mind several times while practicing absorbing magic power alone.

When he woke up, the residents of the Dead City had already suppressed him. The surroundings were in chaos, and of course, he had lost his memory.

"If the power gets out of control, just control your mind." Cardin stuck out his tongue regretfully, and Wolfe chuckled.

"Descendants of Ingmar, do you know what to do then?"

"What? I don't know."

"Just know. That's it."

"What does that mean?" Cardin tilted his head and Wolfe answered, pointing to the massive castle where the ancient necromancers lived.

"That's how I learned it. Once you know it, your spirit will naturally recover."

“What is that…?”

"What are you talking about? Start absorbing the surrounding magic power immediately. It would be more convenient to correct that before becoming a nine-star."

Wolfe, who activated his magic, looked happier than ever.

"What? Hey, wait!" Wolfe walked over briskly, and Cardin stepped back a little in panic.

"Absorb the magic power quickly. If you lose your mind, it won't hurt that much even if you get hit, right?"

"Is this the only way?"

"What? You want to die?" It seems that it is impossible to communicate with this person... No, it seems that it is impossible to communicate with this soul now?

puff!
