Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 292 New Situation

"This is..." The place where Cardan stopped was the underground city where the door to Neropolis was opened three months ago.

"So it's at the northern end." The city of Robain ruled by the noble demon Pecos is there. Cardan longed for fresh air and decided to come out of the dungeon first.

"It's a peaceful place close to the demon's territory." The long-lost fresh air and blue sky.

This is a view that can never be seen in Neropolis, which belongs to the world of the dead.

After taking a short break, Cardin immediately took out a piece of parchment.

I'll take this with me, Cardin, just in case. You know how to use it, right?

"Magic Scroll of Teleportation." This was the parchment that Belid gave to Cardan so that he could be taken anywhere.

After confirming that there was no danger around, Cardin immediately tore up the parchment. The parchment immediately released a blue aura, turned into powder and disappeared.

"Now we just have to wait..." But it was strange. No matter how long he waited, Belid did not appear, and he could not sense any magical aura.

"Is there anything urgent?" Belid is the backbone of the revolutionary group and an indispensable figure in the war with the demons.

He could be busy at any time and might not be able to respond to Cardin's request immediately.

"Since the location signal has been sent, why don't we wait a little longer?" No matter how busy he is, Belid will definitely not ignore the signal sent by Cardin.

"If we act rashly, we might end up making things worse." Therefore, Cardin decided to wait for Belid.

Phew! A fresh and cool breeze blew by, and I felt very happy. The freshness conveyed by the fresh air made Cardin feel more truly that he had returned to the human world.

"9 stars..." Cardin confirmed the magic core in disbelief, then took out the dagger with a smile.

He gently cut his fingertips, letting the blood drip, and immediately summoned Luna on the ground. As the light appeared, Luna looked very surprised.

"What, what?" She looked at her hands in panic, then glared at Cardin.

"Hey, what did you do?"

"Why so surprised?"

“The restrictions are gone…”

"Really?" Cardin looked at the surprised Luna and smiled cutely.

"What have you been doing all this time? What about the restrictions... wait. Is it you?" Luna looked at Cardin's body carefully, suddenly her eyes widened and she was speechless.

"Impossible." Luna froze with an expression of disbelief.

“Is it really 9 stars?”

"Hasn't it been confirmed?" Cardin replied with a shrug when Luna confirmed again.

I can't believe it. Luna, a vampire from another world, is limited by her power.

In other words, they cannot fully exert their original strength and can only fight in a weakened state.

Just like Luna so far. However, if the contractor's realm improves, the value of the limit will gradually decrease.

When the contractor reaches 9 stars, the vampire can exert its true power. After confirming that the heavy shackles on the body have disappeared, there is no doubt that Cardin has reached 9 stars.

"How did you do that?" Now all Luna could do was ask if she had become a 9-star.

"I went to Neropolis. So there was no summoning during this period."

"Once every three months?"

“I spent about half a year there.”

"The passage of time is different? No, even so, it only took half a year to go from 8th star to 9th star, that's too absurd." Luna raised her voice in disbelief. This was absolutely impossible in her cognition.

"The knowledge of the ancient necromancers is remarkable." Cardan recounted the six months he spent in Neropolis.

"So, you have become the king of Neropolis?"

"Well, you can say I am the master of the Castle of the Dead. Am I a king or a lord? In any case, I am the king." After becoming the king of Neropolis, Luna smiled again.

Summoned three months later, the contractor became a 9th star and became the king of the legendary Neropolis.

"Anyway, all preparations are over. Let's go back to the Revolutionary Army base and prepare for war." Cardin said confidently, and Luna looked at her hands silently and nodded.

"Of course." I can't feel the difference from when I was in the vampire world. In other words, I can fight with my original strength in the human world.

"I don't think I need to prepare anything..." If I can fight with my original strength, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Even when she reached 8 stars, she could only use about half of her power due to restrictions, but now it is different. The power that bound her is gone, and now she can freely use the power of a vampire.

"It should be easy to deal with the highest level demons at least," Luna said to herself and Cardin chuckled and placed his hand on her head.

"Even for Luna, a noble demon is still too much of a stretch, right?"

"No! Even though it's not easy to win, I can definitely win!" When Cardin and Luna were arguing with each other.

Whoosh! A light appeared in the sky, a sign of teleportation magic.

"Here it comes." Cardan looked at the flickering light happily. Soon the light disappeared and Belid appeared.

"Ahem...!" But it was strange. Belid, who appeared through teleportation magic, didn't look very good. He was vomiting blood and had wounds all over his body.

"Teach, professor?"

Cardan quickly walked towards Belid in panic. "Cardan..." Belid lost consciousness and fell to the ground after saying this. What happened?

Why would Belid, known as the Eternal Fire, call out to Cardan with a dying voice?

"First of all, we need immediate treatment..." There was no suitable doctor nearby, nor a priest who could use healing magic. All Cardin could do was simple emergency treatment.

"Please wait a moment." Cardin quickly opened the alternate dimension and took out bandages and herbs.

"Wait, Cardin." At this time, Luna asked Cardin to stop and slowly walked to the side of Belid who was lying on the ground.

"Luna?" Cardin stared at Luna's back with wide eyes. Luna carefully placed her hand on Belid's chest.

"If there were no restrictions, a vampire could do that, too."

Buzz. A bloody aura began to spread around Luna, and soon the aura seeped into Belid's body.

"What are you doing?" Cardin asked as he looked on worriedly, but Luna smiled and told him not to worry.

Hiss. In an instant, the blood from Belid's wound stopped flowing, and the color on his face began to return.

"Although it cannot heal wounds, it can still stop bleeding and replenish blood." The ability of a blood vampire.

Luna replied proudly and Cardin breathed a sigh of relief, placing his hands on Luna's shoulders.

"Thank you. Luna."

"I'll leave the treatment to you." Emergency treatment methods are learned from childhood.

To survive in a strange world, physical strength and power are important, but this kind of healing technology is also necessary.

Cardan recalled the herbal formula from memory and quickly began grinding the herbs.

Soon, he applied the ground herbs to Belid's wounds, bandaged them, and the emergency treatment was over.

Thanks to Luna who stopped the bleeding, they survived the dangerous situation.

"Thank you, thank you, Cardan." Belid, who had just regained consciousness, sat up carefully and said to Cardan.

"You can lie down a little longer."

"The wound hurts, but it's okay. I feel my mind is clearer now." Belid sighed and checked the bandages on his body.

“It’s horrible.”

"What happened?"

"The war started a month ago." Cardin's expression stiffened when he heard Belid's answer.

"Just when I went to Neropolis..." The worst happened, and Cardin's stiff expression did not relax for a long time.

"This time the demons seem to have really made up their minds. The fighting has started in the entire region at the same time. And..." Belid looked as if he had remembered something, then revealed an emotion of fear, and continued.

"It's different from the demons we encountered before. It seems that real demons have arrived, and the resistance army and the revolutionary group are beginning to get into trouble." The situation is not good.

No, it was serious. The defense on the western front collapsed, and the base city of the revolutionary group was also occupied. Humanity was gradually forced to retreat, and could only gather at the base of the resistance army.

"The losses were heavy." Not to mention ordinary people, there were also many casualties among the rebels and revolutionaries.

Wars cannot be fought without those known as guardians and heroes standing on the front lines.

"If this continues..." The Kingdom of Libera might fall into the hands of the demons. Belid gritted his teeth and said.

"Are the Guardians safe?" Cardin asked, trying to remain calm.

The demon clan's goal is to capture people with 8 stars or above as sacrifices to open the gate to the demon world. If the guardians are caught, the problem will be more serious than expected.

"Luckily, they're all safe. But..." Belid stopped talking for a moment and sighed in exasperation.

"Several members of the revolutionary group and the rebels were captured. Among them were people Cardan knew." Cardan's eyes widened when he heard what Belid said.

"Someone I know?"

"Kalia, Alvis, Blanche..." They actually captured the classmates of the Hero Academy.

"When were you arrested?"

"About a week ago. I sneaked in to save them, and this is what happened." Belid replied, pointing at the wound.

"where are they?"

"It's dangerous. There are many powerful enemies. It seems to be a trap to lure in the guardians."

"If it's too late, the demons might do something. I'll go save them. Please tell me their location."

"It's dangerous. No, where have you been all this time? Everyone is worried that something has happened to Cardin. Ever since the news came out that the demons that destroyed the city of Robain had suddenly disappeared."

After searching for a long time, Belid looked at Cardin angrily, then sighed and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to blame you. Just worried."

"I went to practice. I'm sorry I'm back late. But this will definitely help."

"Practice... Cardan, I don't know how strong you have become, but it's too dangerous to go alone. Go back to the resistance base first and take the others with you..." Belid tried to persuade Cardan not to act rashly and to stay calm.

But when he looked up at Cardin again, he was speechless.

"Wait." Belid came back to his senses, swallowed in disbelief, and asked cautiously.

"Cardan. Could it be that..."

"Please tell me the location. I will bring them back safely."
