Grandmaster Of All Job Class

Chapter 94 - Corruption Part 5

Joan was perplexed by Joan duplicate's clever tactics. It was very shocking to his part that he was able to execute such a thing. Making him use his head far greater than his imagination. Something he didn't expect in the slightest.

Countering also one of the multi slash's slashes with just a normal eye observation was very heart-aching on Joan's part. It was hard to swallow as he felt he was stronger than his current enemy. Or so he thought that it would be a one-sided beating. Facing such an enemy made him think harder about how to kill such one.

Just as he thought that his current job class will be a stalemate, he switched to another job class. Such job class was something he wanted to test, whether it would be enough for his current enemy to be defeated or worst, making the tides against him. It will be a test he was not sure if he can win or not. Well, it would not be confirmed if he will not test it in the first place.

His armour vanished into thin air and so also was his katana. He crouched like a tiger with fingers on the floor.

"Equip Rogue job class!" Joan uttered out loud. Making Joan duplicate to drop his jaw. Once again, he bit his lower lips in annoyance.

'The heck with this guy, he will test all job class to defeat me?' Joan groaned.

Still, it would be a great experience for him to face. Trying another job class to duel with this guy that he considered a headache.

Without delays, he also equipped the Rogue job class. Just like Joan who also used the same.

Joan screamed with his wrath and dashed towards him. It was slower than Ronin's accelerate but was more silent and has such finesse without booming sound.

Whoosh!

Joan duplicate also matched his speed and it made Joan shocked by his agility. Also, the same movements as his like he was using the same job class. To his surprise, he was moving in calm and was silent as a cat's paws. Contrary to his loud mouth who shouts in pure anger.

Joan and Joan duplicate conjured daggers from both of their hands. Gripping it their greatest as they dashed forwards.

Whoosh! ping!

Their daggers clashed, reverse gripped and then threw it towards each other after they passed each other. Joan evaded while Joan duplicate blocked it with his other dagger. Summoning another one on his hands while Joan conjured chained dagger.

While Joan's anger fueling him, he attacked with a more aggressive confrontation. Shouting while he attacks. It made Joan duplicate to he annoyed by his demeanour.

"A Rogue has to be calm but you are a bit hot-headed," Joan duplicate said to him.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Joan shouted.

"Oh, so you can talk! I felt worried," Joan duplicate said to him.

Whipping the chained dagger towards Joan duplicate who soon used his after image. Leaving a clone on the process and was soon slashed vehemently by Joan. A mix of horizontal, diagonal, and, vertical slashes were what poured at Joan duplicate's clone. Smoke puffed out of his body that made Joan inwardly cursed.

Joan duplicate became invisible for a moment and used his skill to reverse slash on Joan. As he was invisible, he used the opportunity to attack him. Dashing without noise so that Joan won't detect him as these tactics needed to be silent. Being invisible while having a noisy movement was useless against Joan. Even Joan duplicate was aware of that truth and he knows him far better than anybody in this world. Such thing was normal as he was the duplicate of his soul.

While he was dashing, he aimed to attack his back. Using his most silent sneak as he gets closer and closer at his back. Making him use his sneak on the process but it was faster than before. Due to him mastering it in his past life, he was able to sneak while it was as fast as a jog. Not too fast as it will alert him if he stumbled in an accident but not too slow too for a quick attack. Not wanting to be revealed before his invisibility will fade or all his efforts will be lost.

Just as he approached him on his back. Joan immediately whipped his chained dagger on his back. It was aimed in his direction and it made him jerk a bit. Joan duplicate inwardly thought how did he know his position. Making him impressed a bit.

Joan duplicate saw the blade head towards his direction and so he twisted his body sideways. Joan's whipping prowess was so great that Joan duplicate was left a second late. Making him avert in a split millisecond.

Luckily, he has an agile class that was able to exert flexibility to the limits. Making him almost break his muscle with a sudden burst of movement. His body or his original's body was not yet that ready for such movements. Even more so, it was impressive on his part as he was able to do it with such a frail body. Making the past Joan's training to put into use.

Joan then sensed his presence as he flipped sideways, making him slash in predicting his direction. Also making him grin at the moment. He whipped the chained dagger towards Joan duplicate's direction and saw slowly that his invisibility was fading; slowly but surely.

Joan duplicate can only throw him his dagger and it clashed with the chained dagger that was heading for him. Saving his life at the moment as it was very damaging to be slashed even at once. It was also high in range compared to users of dagger-only Rogues. At such a moment, he also doesn't have protection. Not a leather armour at the time being. However, it made his movements faster as he doesn't have armour to carry.

At the moment, as Joan duplicate was flipping sideways, he conjured daggers and threw them from his both hands. Left and right hands were simultaneously throwing at him. Right after Joan saw that his chained dagger has collided with the thrown dagger of Joan duplicate, he withdraws his chains and then whips his chains left and right to block the incoming projectiles.

Right after Joan duplicate threw all of his daggers, he used his skill shadow cloak and retreated a bit.

[Shadow clone]

Joan used his skill and then multiple shadow clones emerged from his feet's shadows.

"One, two, ten, twenty! I hope your willpower will hold them all out for long!" Joan duplicate said in surprise, also in amazement. Looking at the enemy numbers that he will face. All were having shadow cloak covered them and was bearing the face same as the original. All were having cracks on their faces.

Immediately, they all conjured daggers and others were chained daggers. Making Joan duplicate to smirk.

"You know what? That is a mistake," Joan duplicate explained.

They all dashed towards him and others threw their daggers. Making Joan duplicate to block the chained daggers with his daggers on his hands.

Clang! Clang! Ping!

He confronted the shadows and dashed towards them. The chained dagger users whipped their weapons and it made Joan duplicate to block the chained daggers left and right. Others were rotating then slashed their chains towards him. Evading them in a hair's breadth then conjured daggers on his hands. Throwing them towards the enemies in point-blank range.

"Another weakness of chained dagger users was their lesser ability to defending, especially when they threw their chains halfway towards the enemy while a projectile was already coming their way." Joan duplicate explained.

Upon throwing enemies with his daggers, they immediately vanished like shadows that dispersed. Coming back to Joan's shadow at once. Making Joan struck with great pain in the head.

Joan duplicate then approached him while eliminating the others on the way. Adding up to Joan's pain in the head.

"Another weakness of a Rogue is when his shadow clones will die. It could result in extreme pain in the head. It takes great willpower to maintain them and takes a strong mind to receive their shadows when they die. A double-edged sword to be in simple terms," Joan duplicate said to him.

"Right Joan?" He added.

Joan then grasped his head then screamed a lot.

"Isaias now!" Joan duplicate screamed.

Immediate as he was, Isaias dashed and then grabbed his forehead.

[Cleanse and purify]

Isaias screamed the skill and immediately, Joan pounced at him. Joan duplicate locked his shoulders from his back and wanted to transform into a Werewolf. Joan duplicate then used his telepathy to calm Joan and so the struggle began.

[Cleanse and purify]–a spell of prophets to miraculously cleanse the very being of the soul. Removing all demonic entities that tainted the soul and restores his sane mind.
