Grandmaster Of All Job Class

Chapter 86 - Buying Time Part 5



Duplicate arrived at the entrance of the Tomb. Having located the imprint of Joan original made him make haste on travelling. Having used his telekinesis, he was able to float up in the air while travelling unhindered.

Forest was just below him and he would save up his mind's willpower if he strode below its canopy. But there's no helping it as he was in the race of time. Making him travel in the shortest amount of time.

Sadly, he didn't leave Joan original some teleportation rune on his body and so it would save a lot of hassle to just teleport beside him.

Entering the tomb, he saw bodies were scattered all over the place. Paintings from ancient times were what orchestrated the place but he has no time for leisure to sight-seeing them. While in a hurry, he heard a banging sound was being made.

Threading carefully, he used his Rogue's job class and activated his passive skill [Sneak].. It would be activated once he would use the skill and its mastery can be further improved with more usage of the skill. Further moving inside without a trace of sound made him confident without being detected.

[Sneak]–a passive skill of Rogues to travel silently while undetectable. While crouching and stepping silently, the noise was also decreased as the skill was getting stronger. Can be used first to be undetected and the other skills can be used afterwards. Shadow clones can use the skill [Sneak] too like the other skills of the original.

Just as he entered the spacious room, he saw lesser devils were scattered all over the place. The floor was dug and was destroyed. Caved-in with cracks here and there. Geography was in a mess and all was in chaos. Making him think that Joan original was in a hurry to resort to such schemes.

Several steps from the room stood a door and rumbling sounds were heard. Making him take a peek and saw numerous cultists in the process. Joan as well as Isaias was inside. Making a fuss just to stop the enemy brother's unsealing.

Roaring silhouettes were seen by Duplicate battling each other in the process. Watching from the sidelines, he saw that Joan original was battling some kind of Demon general on the process. Something nostalgic when he remembered their past battles in the past.

Just as he observed, he carefully sneaked inside as he saw that the Demon Lord was unsealing the seal while he was left undisturbed. Making Joan duplicate grin in annoyance. Just as he was sneaking, he can feel the rumblings of the battles of the two gigantic beings.

While using the Rogue job class to sneak and was using [After image] and [Shadow cloak] in succession, he carefully threads into the shadows of the corner of the tomb walls. Breathing carefully not to alert anyone on the process, he was able to take a peek at the ritual that was currently transpiring in front of him.

Eager to halt what was happening, he planned to stop them himself. Just as he was thinking of his plans, it would be a difficult task to be executed.

Just looking at the pulsating seal made him gulp dry his saliva. Just as he was looking at it, he can feel the race of time that he was left with.

'Seriously? What is the original's doing right now?' He asked himself.

He immediately saw that the seal was weakening with every pulse that was made. Ushering himself to hurry up and do what he needed to do. Upon seeing the altar, he slowly moved towards the one who was unsealing the one who was inside. He bolted with all his strength and dashed towards the one on the culprit.

Equipping his daggers, he used his skill [After image] while having the [Shadow cloak] still active on him. Wanting to use his skill [Reverse slash] on the person. Gritting his teeth, he prepared for the worst. He was left unguarded while he was on the seal and so, he grabbed the opportunity to attack him.

It was so disturbing to see that he was looking vulnerable in that manner. Disturbing yet tempting, maybe traps were all over but nothing could go wrong if he will avoid them. If he will kill him, it would make him become his body's host and usurp his soul. So making only enough damage for him to be distracted and stop the unsealing would suffice and was enough task for him to do. For such a duplicate as him.

His servants were all below and were in a trance as they were bathing in his presence. Making them shout his name while doing his unsealing on the process.

Joan duplicate bolted towards him and prepared to [Reverse slash] him. It was then, he saw that while closing his eyes, he was grinning. It was then he immediately stared in his direction, making him jolt and back out halfway. Spikes emerged from his footing and assaulted Joan duplicate mid-air. It was not too late when he rotated and evaded them while mid-air.

He tapped the spikes with his hands and pushed himself away from him. Making him escape in hair's breathe and then rotated towards the platform.

Immediately, cultists saw him after his [After image] has disappeared. Making him revealed to the enemies while being covered with shadows.

"Tsk!" Joan duplicate can only smirk in disgust.

"Protect our Lord! Apprehend him!" Shouted one of the cultists.

Immediately, cultists dashed towards him and prepared to assault him. Others transformed into lesser devils while others were throwing void missiles. Joan duplicate then was alerted. His cover was blown while the enemy was still left unscathed. Adding up to his frustrations of having a failure. It was very disappointing on his part as he has had little to no failures in the past. Making him grit his teeth and wanted to get serious.

Filling with rage, he inhaled deep. It wouldn't help if he will just rampage without purpose. Besides, his enemy was stuck from where he stands and it would be a lot pleasurable if he will just stand there.

While Joan duplicate was smiling, his servants were also not just there to let their boss just die there like a sitting duck. They erected a protective barrier to protect him from his enemy.

Joan duplicate then foresaw it, at least they have common sense and not just left their master to be killed that easily. The enemies immediately dashed towards him with great fierceness. Lesser devils were having wide mouths opened up like they were prepared to bit him off.

Joan assessed the situation calmly while his rage subsided. He was planning to use a brawler class that can kill enemies swiftly. There were three of them, specifically: the Fighter which boasts of its explosive firepower and bursting energy, Chaos Knight that has chaotic abilities capable of eliminating hundreds of enemies, or the Ronin that has swift capabilities accompanied by a sharpened mind.

They were the brawler type of job class and has the most potential in these kinds of situations. Seeing things transpired into the worst, Joan duplicate can only grin. If he chose one job class, they would rather suffice. But thinking about it, it would be best to use the Ronin. It's the swiftness that he wants right now and not destruction. The latter two can be as good as it was but he needs to eliminate the enemies in an instant.

While he equipped the Ronin job class, enemies approached in terribly fast pacing. Making Joan duplicate to conjure his katana in a hurry.

[Conjure katana]

[Conjure armor]

Two skills were immediately made and his body was covered with armor. A red armor with metallic plates was what appeared. His armor glistened with a cold aura that was like smoking ice, chilled into negative degrees and was freshly brought out.

Katana was still on his sheath and he was gripping the handle of the sword, eyes closed while crouching. His enemies approached without reserve and they were flooding in all directions. Joan duplicate inhaled deeply and then breathed out. Enemies were in all directions and their shouts vibrated inside his ears. Halting his breathing, he focused on everything he has and then opened his eyes.

[Draw slash]
