Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 293 Rescue Friends

The city of Radames. A city located near the western defenses, a city that Cardan, who became an 8-star a few months ago, had conquered alone.

"Has this place been taken away again?" Standing on the city wall in the dark, Cardan overlooked the city and sighed deeply.

After the war began, the demons quickly advanced southward and even broke through the western defense.

Of course, the city of Radames, located above the western defense, was also occupied by the demons, and it is now also where the hostages are held.

Found the place where people were caught!

There are too many demons! Master! The ghosts who were investigating quickly reported to Cardan.

"Are people safe?" Cardin asked in a cold voice. The ghosts hesitated and then nodded.

They are all still alive.

There were no signs of torture. Everyone was locked in an iron cage!

But the situation is not good! Some people are seriously injured! What should I do? Like the attack on the city of Robain, should I start a war alone?

"The hostages have been captured and cannot be attacked at will." Because the hostages might be injured or killed, Cardin could not make a choice easily.

"How lucky you are to be the king of Neropolis." But there was no fear or confusion on Cardan's face, but a smile.

"What are you going to do?" Luna asked with her head tilted when she saw Cardin's smile.

"We have to rescue the captured hostages first."

"Is there any way? There are too many demons. How can we get in casually?"

"It's dangerous, but there is a way."

"any solution?"

"You'll know once you see it. I'll sneak in quietly, cover me, Luna." Cardin said, taking out the shoes that Human gave to his reconnaissance team from the other dimension and putting them on.

"Even though he said he would return it, fortunately that guy Human firmly refused, and ended up using it again." Although it has become a 9-star, it is not invincible.

At least before rescuing the hostages, he planned to carefully assassinate the demons. Cardan took out the corpse of a troll from the other dimension and immediately activated the magic power.

Then, a large amount of blood began to flow from the troll's body, and Cardan immediately used the troll's blood to create a hook.

Whoosh! After fixing the grappling hook on the wall, Cardin slowly climbed down from the wall like a secret agent on a stealth mission.

Here!

There are demons patrolling the alley on the left!

There are three demons resting in front! The right side is empty! Thanks to the guidance of the ghosts, Cardin can minimize the direct confrontation with the demons.

Suddenly they encountered a demon tribe. "Solved." Luna, who was waiting in the back, handled it quietly.

This way! Soon, Cardin arrived in front of the building where the humans were imprisoned and temporarily hid in the dark to observe the surroundings.

"Being on alert is no joke." There were about 70 demons on alert, and they were all high-level demons.

"Where are these guys hiding?" These are not ordinary high-level demons that appeared after the war started.

He possesses similar powers to the high-level demon that put Cardin in trouble three years ago.

"What should we do now? I'll buy you some time while you go save people?" Luna, who was observing the situation from behind, saw that Cardan had not come up with a solution, so she cautiously made a suggestion.

"Is this all we can do?" Cardin sighed regretfully.

You can get in through the sewer! A ghost hurried over to report.

"sewer?"

Yes! You can enter the building through the sewers! I just checked!

There are demons in the building too, but they are not gathered together!

"Okay, lead the way." To deal with three demons, it is safer to enter the building and deal with them one by one.

This way!

Cardin and Luna entered the building through the sewers and began to deal with the demons they encountered one by one.

Just as Les said, the demons did not gather together, at most only two of them patrolled the building together.

Therefore, Cardin and Luna can quickly raid and assassinate the demons.

This way! Soon, they arrived in front of the prison where the hostages were held.

As the ghost said, the hostage's condition did not look good. Seeing the injured hostage, anger surged in his heart.

"Cut this open."

"Okay, leave it to me. Luna." Luna, who was standing next to her, immediately cut the chains that locked the iron cage with her bloody hands.

Snap! Clang!

"Who, who?" The chains were cut, the door was opened, people woke up and looked at Cardin.

"Kadan?"

"Ka, Cardin!" Calia, Alves and Blanche were all taken hostage, and they called out to Cardin in surprise.

"Shh." Cardin looked around and motioned for them to be quiet.

"Ka, Cardin. What's wrong with you? Where have you been?" Alvis asked in a low voice as Cardin and Luna stepped forward to untie the hostage's chains.

"I'm sorry I'm back late. I went to practice for a while and didn't expect this to happen."

"Ah, no! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Cardin nodded to Alves' question and immediately untied his chains.

"Kalia. Why are you here? Aren't you from the revolutionary group?" Next was Kalia.

His usually neatly tied hair was disheveled, and his long arms and legs were covered in numerous scars.

"I was captured when I came out to provide support. Cardan, you're right. The demons really did hide their power. Ha, I was too careless."

"I'm glad you're alive. Are these the only injuries? Are you injured anywhere else?" Kalia's eyes widened as she noticed Cardin's change. Cardin untied her chains and said.

"We'll talk about this later. Now let's get out of here."

"……OK."

Kalia looked at Cardin with disbelief, then swallowed and nodded.

"Blanche. Are you okay?" Next, Cardin walked towards Blanche who was lying on the ground.

Although his injuries didn't seem serious, he looked very tired, probably due to excessive use of magic power.

"Cardin..." Blanche called Cardin weakly, and then tears flowed from her eyes.

"I thought you were dead. You lunatic." Her angry words were mixed with resentment and relief.

"I'm sorry. I'll let you out right away."

Crash! The moment the chains were undone, Blanche hugged Cardin.

"That's great. It's really great..." Blanche fainted in Cardin's arms. Cardin looked at Blanche with heartache and put her on the ground carefully.

"I'll take care of Blanche." Kalia, who had received emergency treatment from Luna, came over and picked up Blanche.

People untied each other's chains and soon all the hostages were able to escape from the prison.

"Ka, Cardan. What should we do now?"

"We have no fighting capacity right now. We are all members of the resistance and the revolutionary group, and we have used up all our strength trying to save our lives."

Alvis and Kalia asked Cardin what to do next. It was impossible to escape from a city full of demons with so many people.

If we try by force, we may not even survive half of them, no matter how strong Cardin becomes.

"Wait a minute." But Cardin looked around without worry, soon discovered something, and walked over quickly.

"Everyone come here." The place where Cardin called everyone to come was in front of the warehouse.

"Do you want us to hide here? Do you want to start a war on your own?" Cardin pointed at the door and Kalia asked with her head tilted.

Whoosh. Then Cardin took out a key and answered meaningfully.

"No." Click. Cardin immediately inserted the key into the keyhole.

Everyone's eyes widened at Cardin's behavior, and Cardin smiled and opened the door.

"What. What?" After the door opened, people looked at the scenery on the other side of the door in surprise.

The door of the warehouse was clearly opened, so why did it show a wasteland?

"But it's a little weird?"

"Why is it so spooky?"

"For some reason, it feels a little scary..." The people looking at the scenery on the other side of the door felt rejected and hesitated to move forward. Cardin looked at them and said.

"After you go in, don't go anywhere else, just stay there quietly."

"Cardin, where is that?" Kalia, who was holding Blanche, asked cautiously while Cardin was speaking.

"The world of the dead. If you get lost there, I can't save you. A living person will turn into a spirit if he stays there for just one day."

After hearing what Cardan said, people became even more frightened, and some even backed off.

“Of course, I will take you out before that. So don’t walk around, just wait quietly inside. Kalia, Alvis. You help me manage it.”

Cardin said, pointing to the door, Alves nodded to the people first.

"Everyone, did you hear that? Cardan. The Terminator."

"Terminator?"

"Is he a necromancer from the Hero Academy?"

“The one who inherits Charlotte and Isaac’s will and becomes the guardian!” Hearing Cardan’s name, people looked at him in surprise.

As hope appeared on people's faces, Alves immediately continued.

"He is also my friend. Someone you can trust. So everyone go in." After hearing Alves' words, people hesitated.

"go in."

"Yes. I will die here and I will die there. It is better to die there."

"Being a hostage is not an end to life."

“We can’t let the resistance and the revolutionaries get caught.” Then he nodded and walked towards the world of the dead without hesitation.

Cardan said grabbing Alvis and Kalia as everyone entered the door.

"Alvis, Kalia. Please. Water and food first. Solve the problem there first."

Cardin took out a bag of food and water from the other dimension and handed it to Alvis. Then Alvis and Kalia tilted their heads and asked.

"Ka, Cardin. Aren't you going in?"

"What are you going to do?" Cardin smiled easily at the two people's questions.

"I have to open the door in a safe place to get people out."

"Can't there be another door there?"

"I've tried it. If I open the door there, I might end up back here. So I have to move to a safe place and open the door there."

"I don't know why, but there is no teleportation function."

“It feels like entering a different dimension.”

"Yes. Just think of it as an alternate dimension. Once we get to a safe area, we'll bring people out from there, so don't worry, just go in. I'll be fine."

Cardin said, urging them to go in quickly, and Alvis and Kalia immediately walked towards the door.

Dong. After the door closed, Luna beside him patted the back of Cardin's hand and asked.

"Should we go back now? Can we just do the same as when we came in? Just provide cover?" Cardin nodded to Luna's question.

"It would be a shame to go back right away."

"what?"

"We have to let them know that I'm back." Cardin looked at the open prison with angry eyes, then walked away meaningfully.
