Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 294 Return to Douglas

In the quiet early morning, in the city of Radames, zombies composed of the corpses of goblins and goblins swarmed out from the dark alleys.

For a secret attack, this number exceeds several thousand, and the zombies make strange noises, attracting the attention of the demons.

"What, what is this! Zombies suddenly appeared!" The demons who were patrolling the city inevitably discovered the zombies.

"Destroy them immediately!" "Attack! Attack!"

"Find the Necromancer!" The demons who discovered the zombies were busy waking up the sleeping demons.

Boom! Boom! Boom! But before that, the zombies scattered across the city began to explode.

"Ahhh!" The city instantly turned into a battlefield, and the demons hurriedly looked for the culprit of the explosion.

"Not here either!"

"Damn it! I clearly saw the zombies coming out of this alley!"

"City wall! What's going on on the city wall?" The demons were searching for the necromancer who released the zombies in the city as if playing hide-and-seek.

Boom!

"There's an explosion on the eastern wall!"

"The Necromancer must be there!"

"Anyway, zombies won't explode without a necromancer! Go to the east city wall!" The demons that were originally scattered throughout the city this time rushed to the east city wall where the explosion occurred.

Boom! At this moment, an explosion also occurred on the western wall.

"West, there's an explosion in the west too!" Boom! Explosions started to occur in the north, south, and all directions.

"Damn it! There is more than one Necromancer! Catch them quickly!" The demons scattered to every corner of the city, avoiding the exploding zombies and looking for the Necromancer.

Just as the demons were busy looking for the necromancer who attacked the city.

"Emergency! The hostages are gone!" A demon who went to check on the human hostages rushed out of the building and shouted loudly.

"what?"

"We were clearly guarding the door, what's going on?"

"How is this possible!" The demons guarding the prison gate couldn't believe it.

"It's real! Go in and see for yourself!"

"Damn it!" The high-level demons who learned of this fact angrily rushed to the lord's mansion. The moment the high-level demons arrived at the door of the lord's mansion.

Click! The huge city gate opened, and a man wearing a wolf mask slowly walked out.

"What's the commotion?" The demon wearing a wolf mask asked in a cold voice when he saw the high-level demon trembling in front of the door.

"It's a raid by the Necromancer. There seems to be more than one enemy."

"The demons can't catch the necromancer in the turbulent city?"

"Yes, yes. They are all over the city, but they are nowhere to be found!"

"What stupid guys."

"And, there's one more thing..." The demon who reported the news lowered his head, carefully observed the other party's expression, and then said nervously.

"What, more?"

"All the hostages escaped."

"What?" the wolf-masked demon asked in surprise upon hearing the report.

"What are the demons guarding the prison doing!?"

"They, they have no one passing by the prison. It's been very quiet, very peaceful."

"So many hostages escaped, and you didn't know?"

"We, we were surprised too."

"What should we do! Go and get the hostage back!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! The wolf-masked demon roared, and explosions continued to be heard throughout the city.

As if it were a grand festival, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another. However, the demons guarding the city could not laugh.

"Capture the Necromancer now!"

"No, find the right hostage first!"

"Taking advantage of the chaos, the hostages escaped!"

Plains near the Western Front Defense. Swish! Swish! Cardan galloped towards somewhere on his skeleton horse.

"Are you here to let them know you're here? It's not enough to just rescue the hostages? But you're coming back just by releasing the zombies in the city?" Luna, who was sitting behind Cardin, asked with her head tilted.

"It should be a mess by now."

"why?"

"They will frantically search the city for me and will soon realize that the hostages are gone." Luna seemed to not understand and asked again.

"No, if you weren't there, you couldn't make the zombies explode? Zombies are just high-level undead. What kind of threat are they to the demons?"

"Those zombies are going to explode."

"Huh? Why?"

“I made them explode.”

"is it possible?"

"A 9-star necromancer will do." Without a necromancer, the zombies will explode on their own. Luna was confused and her body was shaking.

"That's really dangerous."

"Yes?"

"So where are we going now?"

"Douglas. I need to rescue the hostages there." The people held hostage are probably now resting somewhere in the world of the dead leading to Neropolis.

Although they were told not to come out through the open door, they still had to be rescued as quickly as possible.

"If they waste time, they will lose more and more memories of being human." According to the ancient necromancer leader, the living can only last for one day in the world of the dead.

There is still time, but it is still a long way to go to Douglas.

"It will take about two days by carriage, but if we don't rest, we can arrive in one day." Because they needed to be rescued in a safe place, Cardin hurried to Douglas.

It would be convenient if Belid was here, but she had trouble even walking normally.

After telling Cardan that there were hostages in the city of Radames, Belid immediately returned to Douglas as Cardan suggested.

"Luckily we have skeleton horses, if not, we would have to walk." Cardin chuckled and shook his head.

Ta-da! Ta-da! The skeleton horse began to gradually increase its speed.

When the sun rose high in the sky, Cardan appeared in front of the city gate of Douglas riding a skeleton horse.

"Who, who is it!" The guards guarding the city gate saw Cardan riding a strange horse, and hurriedly took out their weapons and asked vigilantly.

"I am the Necromancer Cardan." Cardan got off his horse and answered, and at the same time, the guards' eyes widened.

"The words of the Necromancer Cardan..."

"The savior hero! No, the Terminator!" Hearing the name coming out of the guard's mouth, Cardin sighed and lowered his head temporarily.

"Really, whether it was when I was a gangster or now, I'm always given strange nicknames. I still can't get used to it." Cardin nodded and replied.

"Yes, that's right."

"Please wait! I need to confirm the facts."

"We'll bring someone who knows Mr. Cardin!" Because the guards have never actually seen Cardin, they won't let their guard down easily.

The war started again and the situation became serious, so they guarded more closely.

"Okay, please hurry up. I'm in a hurry." Cardan was worried about the people in the world of the dead.

Although it hasn't been a day yet, being held hostage has already consumed a considerable amount of physical strength.

If they start to lose their memories, they will immediately face death. In the world of the dead, they no longer have the power to resist.

"Ka, Mr. Cardin!" The acquaintance of Cardin brought by the guard was Jack Carter, the owner of the tavern "Cat's Dinner".

"How are you, Mr. Jack Carter?"

"Of course! I was so surprised to hear the rumors that you disappeared. The cats didn't know where you went, and I was really worried. Oh, right."

Jack Carter breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the guard.

"Mr. Cardin is right." The guard swallowed and looked at the priest.

"Can I check it?" the priest asked as he approached Cardan cautiously. Cardan nodded and held out his hand.

The priest carefully grasped Cardan's hand as his hand shone with a golden aura.

"It is indeed an uncomfortable atmosphere." Cardin frowned.

"It's not the demons." After the light disappeared, the priest smiled at Cardan.

"You can go in!"

"Thank you for your cooperation!" Cardin said to Jack Carter as the guards quickly opened the city gate.

"We'll talk about the details later. Now there's something urgent."

"It's okay. I run a tavern in town, so you can come see me anytime." Jack Carter waved his hand, and Cardin rode on the skeleton horse with a grateful smile.

Soon, Cardin entered the city and walked to the nearest building. Standing in front of the building, Cardin immediately took out his key and inserted it into the keyhole without confirming which building it was.

Click! The moment the door opened, a familiar scene appeared before my eyes, and I saw a familiar face.

"Fortunately, everyone is waiting obediently." According to Cardin's request, Alves and Kalia directed people, and the hostages lay down near the door to rest.

"Ka, Cardin!" Alves, who discovered Cardin, hurried to the door, and the people in the world of the dead behind the door hurriedly stood up.

"Alves. Is everyone here?"

"Yes! No one has the energy to move around. We have been resting since dinner."

"Thank you for your hard work, Alves."

"Where is this?" Alves looked behind Cardin curiously.

In the world of the dead, you can't see the blue sky, but you can feel the fresh air.

"Douglas. Let's get the people out first?" After Cardin finished speaking, Alves came back to his senses and walked towards the people.

"Get out now! Cardin is back! Douglas City is over there!" Hearing Alves' words, people's eyes flashed and they walked towards the open door.

"I survived!" Stepping onto the familiar city ground, I began to feel the reality of escaping from the demons.

"The savior hero saved us!"

"Long live the Terminator!" Although they no longer had the strength to walk, they felt safe and began to praise Cardin as much as they could.

Although Cardin felt embarrassed, he was in a good mood and smiled.

"Cardan, everyone is out." Alves and Kalia, who were in charge of the command, and Blanche, who had recovered her spirits, confirmed that everyone was out, and Cardin immediately closed the door.

"Kalia, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your hard work, Cardan. It's thanks to you that we are alive." Kalia extended a hand of friendship to Cardan, who gently held her hand.

"Go back and have a good rest. We will start the counterattack soon."

"Fight back? Attack the demons first?"

"Yes. You can't keep getting beaten." Kalia's eyes widened in surprise, then she nodded and said.

"All the hostages will be sent to the hospital, don't worry. Just go and do what you have to do, Cardan." Kalia said and started to move, with Alvis following her to help her.

"Are you okay?" Cardin walked towards Blanche who was looking down and asked.

Hearing that voice, Blanche remembered hugging Cardin in prison, blushed, and nodded.

"...Yes, thank you. It's all thanks to you." For some reason, Blanche expressed her gratitude easily.

Cardin smiled unexpectedly and held out his hand to her.

"Can you stand up? I'll take you to the lord's palace."

"Why go to the Lord's Mansion?"

"To see the Lord and the Guardian."

"Father and Mr. Gilbert?" Blanche tilted her head and Cardin smiled.

"We'll have an important meeting here soon. We'll need your help."
