Joan was roaring while he was being held by Joan duplicate on his back. Using telepathy to calm him down, proves to be effective while he used the skill. As he was being calmed down, the cleanse and purification skill was taking effect.


    Slowly, the burning cracks from his body were evaporating in the air. Making the cracks lesser and eventually disappeared. Joan''s eyes that were brimming in bloodshot became their normal self. Reverting it to his dark brown pupils and his mind became clear as a sky. All his confusion disintegrated in several seconds after they used their skills.


    Immediately, Joan blinked his eyes and stared at Isaias and turned around to Joan duplicate. He seemed to be confused with what was happening.


    "What are you doing? What happened? Oh! I was being choked by that Demon lord! And then what happened next?" Joan asked the two..


    "Joan!" Screamed the two. Immediately smacking Joan with Joan duplicate''s hands behind his back.


    "What the heck dude! Don''t get caught with the corruption again! Do you know how hard it is to revert you to your sane mind?" Joan duplicate blurted out.


    Joan stared at Isaias and Isaias nodded at him. Making Joan agree with Joan duplicate as Isaias nodded. Joan can only sigh in the process.


    "At least we get out of it alive, right guys?" Joan said hesitantly.


    Joan duplicate crossed arms and was silent. Isaias was looking at his side while stroking his beard. They were silent for a moment and Joan was panicking.


    "Let us just move on. We are nearly killed after all," Isaias said to Joan.


    "Killed? Nearly killed? Who?" Joan felt confused.


    "Nah, never mind it. We should n our next move. The Demon lords will unseal their brothers and we are always a step behind." Joan duplicate exined.


    "I should at least do something before we will leave this ce," Isaias said to the both of them, still stroking his beard.


    "And what was that?" Joan asked.


    "To unseal the heroes," Isaias said, then smiled.


    "You can?" Joan asked perplexed.


    "I know that they can be unpetrified but you can do it? You only said to me that you didn''t know why the other heroes didn''t wake up after Dun was unsealed. Do you know the cause?" Joan added.


    "Yeah, my dear Joan. They are desecrated," Isaias pointed his staff towards their direction.


    "You see, they were covered with the blood of innocents. You see those dead bodies there? They are sacrificed for unsealing the Demon Lord of Corruption," Isaias said while pointing their bodies.


    "Damn it!" Joan can only inwardly curse himself for his ipetence. He could have saved them if they were a little early to arrive here.


    "You can''t save everybody, Joan. Etch that in your mind. No matter how strong you are, on the other side of the world, there is someone who was killed. This is not something new either. I have seen many Child of Hope getting killed for many generations. I can''t even save one even with my premonition. I was alwayste and they died even when I can meet them beforehand," Isaias exined.


    "Come, Joan, I will show you how to unpetrify them," Isaias said to him.


    Walking towards the statues of heroes, Joan saw the different job sses they have. Joan knew their job sses in one look as he knew them all. Adding up their weapons and armours they were using was recognizable with his naked eyes.


    "This one is a Holy Knight, this one is a Ranger, and so forth. They look pretty strong to me." Joan said as he recognised their looks. Especially their ranks that was felt by Joan. Even they were stones, he can feel their rank''s aura. Making him conclude that the person inside was alive up until now.


    "You see, their ranks were all Legends. It takes Legends to perform this seal and you Joan is mistaken that you can seal them with your current rank. Maybe you can! If a miracle will happen. Hahaha!" Isaias said to him.


    "Mark these words, I will be Mythical someday! You better believe that!" Joan said to him. Isaias then blurted outughing.


    "Hahaha! You will need to reach Legend before your age falls to one hundred. Or else, you will die before ascending to Mythical," Isaias said to him.


    "Yeah, yeah, I know the form for that and I will ascend this time. No one will hinder me from reaching that," Joan exined.


    "Okay, okay, you said it to me. You are powerful enough to do it and I believe you can reach it someday. But the world sure is vast. Some have already made it to Mythical ss by now. For thousands of years, I know some prominent families of Job sses in the academy already have some of them. You know, the family heads of each job ss are one example. Others are simply hiding and are cultivating. You know Joan, the Mythical sses can''t bepared to each other. Others are far stronger than some so be careful in the future." Isaias said to Joan.


    Joan only nodded as a response and then stared at the statues. Isaias then began his prayers and the statues glowed. Blood was evaporating in the air and cracks were slowly trailing their bodies. The light was emanating from the cracks and then they exploded. Showing their original form from before they sealed the Demon Lord of Corruption.


    They breathed in and out and were perplexed with what was happening. Others started to panic as they knew that they will wake up in their slumber if the Demon Lord was set free.


    "The Demon lord! We have to stop him!" Shouted the full ted Holy Knight while carrying a two-handed sword.


    Immediately, they draw their weapons and prepared forbat. Aiming at Joan duplicate, Isaias, and, Joan. Still confused about what was happening.


    "Ahem! You dare point your weapons to a Prophet! And that child there is the Last Child of Hope!" Isaias shouted at them loud and clear.


    "Isaias? Prophet Isaias?" He eximed.


    "Correct my child," Isaias answered.


    The Holy Knight immediately recognized the person who was speaking. Immediately, he kneeled and the others also joined him.


    "I am so sorry, Prophet Isaias! It was just like yesterday was the day we sealed the Demon Lords. So forgive our temper, we are still on edge up until now," He exined.


    "Stand up heroes, the Demon Lord of Affliction and Corruption was let loose. They are on their way towards their other brothers to set them free. Once again, humanity needs you. Stop them from unleashing their brothers. We three will ask for help from the Order of Prophets and awaken the other heroes who are sleeping in the Affliction tomb. Make haste heroes, humanity is counting on you all." Isaias said to them.


    "We will obey, we will track down the two Demon Lords and stop their brother''s revival." The Holy Knight said then they all disappeared from their sights. Massive teleportation was made but it was an instant onepared to Joan''s slow teleportation. Joan can only bit his lips in jealousy.


    To his mind, their leader was the Holy Knight. Who was talking on behalf of the team and was the one replying to Isaias. They were all Legends but they were surprisingly submissive to Isaias which was a Prophet. Making Joan wonder how much power does a Prophet has. He can only question his mind about his role which was the Last Child Of Hope and how important his role was. It made him reserve his questions for the time being.


    "Joan, let us go to the Order Of Prophets. We will leave immediately." Isaias said to him.


    "Right now?" Joan asked.


    "Yes!" Isaias shouted this time around.


    "Okay, let us teleport then!" Joan said to him.


    Onest look at the ended battle. He then saw the bodies disintegrating and was absorbed by his body. Making him smirk in the process.


    [Teleportation]


    Their foothold glowed and then they disappeared without a trace.
