Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Chapter 302 Bear and Wolf

The banquet hall of Repera Castle. Matthias and Alan Montclair stare at each other, weapons drawn.

"Do you think you can handle me alone, next Guardian?" Alan said, looking down at Mathias.

"This is the moment I've been looking forward to for a long time." Mathias answered with a smile on his face, seemingly unafraid.

Hearing this, Alan's eyes widened in surprise.

"long, long ago?"

"Yes. I have always respected you and have wanted to compete with you." Matthias pointed the tip of his sword at Alan Montclair and continued.

"We can't miss this opportunity." As soon as Matthias finished speaking, he rushed towards Allen at a high speed.

"It's an honor for the next guardian to respect me." Although Mathias attacked at an incredible speed, Allen raised his sword and blocked the attack with ease.

Crack! The two men's weapons collided, sparks flew, and surrounding objects were damaged.

"Is that it? As a disciple of Dimitar, I am so disappointed. Tsk." Alan Montclair smacked his lips and suddenly slashed at Matthias's side.

Although he blocked it with his shield, Mathias was still knocked away by the impact.

"Sure enough, he is very strong." Alan Montclair. Even before he became a demon, he was an 8-star knight, the strongest knight besides Dimitar.

How powerful will he become if he gains the power of the demons?

"You look like you've regretted it. Yeah, why do something you'll regret?" Alan smiled leisurely and shook his head.

"When a commoner challenges a noble, the price is death." Swish! Allen raised his sword and swung it down with force.

Crack! With a thunderous sound, a big hole was smashed out where Matthias was standing.

"If I get hit head-on, I'd probably die." Having barely managed to dodge the attack, Matthias heaved a sigh of relief.

He was able to display such power without any special preparations. He was indeed a strong man who should not be underestimated.

"You said you'd be curious about me, but now it seems you're just running away like a rat. How disappointing." Alan shook his blond hair and looked at Mathias.

Mathias raised his shield again and took a defensive stance, and Alan snorted and swung his sword again.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Snap! Allen's sword drew a gorgeous trajectory and stabbed at Mathias' vital points. Mathias used his sword and shield to try to resist the attack.

"Damn it!" However, it was impossible to block all of Allen's attacks. Allen's gorgeous swordplay was unpredictable.

Just when you thought you had blocked the attack, the sword stabbed at your vital point from another direction. This was not an attack that could be dealt with simply by relying on your reaction speed.

"What a shame! You are the next guardian. Is this the extent of your strength?" On the contrary, Alan was very calm.

Even when swinging the sword quickly, his breathing was not disordered, and his attacks became sharper as time went on.

Clang! Matthias barely deflected Alan's sword, stomped hard on the ground, and quickly retreated.

"It's a wise decision now. If you impulsively rush over, your neck might be cut off." Alan smiled kindly at Mathias who was keeping his distance.

"Although I'm looking forward to it, I'm disappointed. I have to kill you quickly and then kill the other guardians." Alan wiped the blood off the sword without any reluctance.

“Sure enough, I didn’t make the wrong choice.” At this time, Matthias muttered to himself in a bitter voice. Seeing this, Alan began to laugh.

"Hahaha! Facing death, do you regret it? How pitiful! Such a guy actually will be the next guardian!" Even though he was ridiculed by Alan, Mathias' expression did not change.

He just sighed, as if blaming himself for his stupidity.

"You shouldn't be stubborn. You should have done this from the beginning." Matthias threw the shield in his left hand to the ground, untied the bag on his back and put it on the ground.

"What is that?" The thing in the bag was a shield. The moment he saw the shield, Alan frowned.

"A very familiar shield. Is it a relic inherited from Dimitar?" The true identity of the shield that exudes a faint divine power is the "Shield of the Holy Guardian", a relic that Dimitar once loved to use.

"That bag hides the divine power." In order to sneak into the castle, Matthias and the Guardian must hide the divine power.

The bundle that Matthias picked up seemed to conceal the divine power emanating from the shield.

“This is a bit troublesome.” Allen looked at the shield and said with a wry smile. Before becoming a demon, there was no fear or rejection of the divine power, but now it is different.

Because divine power is the power that the demons should be most wary of.

"But do you think the relic alone can make a big difference?" Although he was alert, the difference in power was obvious.

In other words, there is no need to be afraid of Matthias.

"I don't know if you can use the divine power well, but at best it's at an 8-star level."

Allen smiled easily and raised his sword. At the same time, Matthias picked up his shield and activated the holy power.

Oh oh oh!

Matthias's holy shield began to emit a golden aura.

"Stop pretending, you should have used this power from the beginning." Facing Alan's provocation, Mathias' face was full of confidence.

There was no worry of failure. Seeing this, Alan frowned.

"To make you realize that overconfidence can lead to death." As if afraid of the divine power, Alan was surrounded by red magic and held the sword tightly.

Ding! At that moment, golden light shot towards Alan.

"What?" Although he quickly dodged the attack, Alan's face was full of surprise.

"Faster?" Why would the attack speed increase just by increasing the divine power? Allen couldn't understand.

"Lord Dimitar didn't become a guardian for nothing."

Oh oh oh!

Looking at the surprised Alan, a smile appeared on Mathias's lips.

"The divine power is not only used to destroy demons."

"Is it possible to increase my power? I am not a priest or a paladin?"

Even if one can use divine power because of a holy relic, even if one is not a natural born paladin or priest, one can only think that it is a change in the properties of magic power.

But that is not the case. Dimitar is better at using divine power than any other paladin.

Mathias has spent the last 3 years learning all his skills under Dimitar's guidance.

"It is possible because of learning." Now he is able to use the divine power skillfully and even has the recognition of Dimitar.

Of course, he can't use his ability to heal wounds yet.

It's just to enhance your physical strength. But using divine power to enhance physical strength is much more effective than using magic power to enhance physical strength.

Whoosh! Mathias closed the distance instantly and swung his shield towards Allen's head.

Buzz buzz buzz! Alan hurriedly raised his hand filled with red magic to defend himself.

"Ahem!" The holy power penetrated the red magic power and hit Alan directly.

"Matthias, should you be okay?" Gilbert, who was running quickly in Repera Castle, looking for the noble demons, turned back and asked.

The opponent is Alan Montclair, the leader of the kingdom's five major knight orders and the head of the Montclair family.

Can Mathias deal with him alone after he gains the power of the demons and becomes a noble demon?

"Sure enough, he shouldn't be left alone. Dimitar, how about going back to help Matthias?"

Gilbert stopped walking and said as Dimitar grabbed his shoulders.

"He is my disciple, trust him."

"No, it's not a matter of simply believing...!"

"Matthias is very strong. Among my disciples, he has inherited my skills most perfectly." There was no trace of worry on Dimitar's face.

Gilbert tilted his head at his calm expression.

"Matthias to that extent?"

"Maybe because he suddenly became a 9-star and was overshadowed by Cardin, some people don't understand it, but Mathias has a higher talent than me."

There was no falsehood in Dimitar's voice.

"If you say so, I can only believe it."

"Yes, believe it. We just need to do what we are supposed to do. Anyway, we are old, so we can't hold the young people back, right?"

Dimitar smiled and started walking again, Gilbert nodded and followed him.

The two ran towards the place where they felt the strong aura, and soon stopped in front of the entrance of a place marked "Chapel".

"It's ridiculous that the demons have a chapel." Looking at the door of the chapel, Dimitar sneered.

then.

"It should be a place where the devil is enshrined." Gilbert seemed to sense something and opened the door of the chapel with a serious expression.

"finally come!"

"Just as the fox said. When we went to catch the necromancer, he clearly said that humans would find the castle too. It's true."

The moment the door opened, the demons wearing bear masks and wolf masks stood up from their seats excitedly.

Judging from their voices and looks, they looked like kids around 15 years old.

"Hamilton is wearing a fox mask, and Alan Montclair has a lion mask hanging around his waist?" Dimitar noticed the demons in the chapel and asked Gilbert with a frown.

"Yes. If the fox and wolf, bear and lion all appear, the guy Philip has to deal with is the guy wearing a snake mask." Gilbert activated his magic and continued.

"Hurry up and finish it, and go help two young men and an old man."

"Even so, two people fighting will not be alone." Then, Dimitar raised his sword and activated his magic power.

Woohoo! In an instant, his sword began to emit golden light as if absorbing holy power.

"What! Is that divine power?"

“Is it the Paladin? What a trouble.” Then, Bear Mask and Wolf Mask continued the conversation in an impatient tone.

"We know that Dimitar uses divine power. But he is not a Paladin."

"But, isn't it about using the divine power through the shield? We don't have that shield now?" When the two demons were confused, Dimitar smiled and pointed at them with his golden sword.

"It seems that the communication was not well conveyed. This sword is also a holy relic." Hearing this, the two demons jumped up in surprise.

"What? Haven't you heard that kind of information?"

"Hamilton! No, the fox said so too! The only relic Dimitar has is the shield! Just be careful with that!"

Feeling burdened by the strong divine power, the two demons retreated quietly.

"It's really uncomfortable to look like a child, but what can I do?" Dimitar gave a bitter smile and looked ready to rush over at any time.

Seeing this, Gilbert smacked his lips and shook his head.

"It seems that it is hard to tell who is the bad guy."

"Such a noise. Let's finish it quickly. Although the body looks young, don't underestimate the noble demons, otherwise you will be in trouble soon."

Hearing Dimitar's warning, Gilbert nodded and immediately prepared magic.
