After finishing off the enemies on the outside of the tomb, they went to proceed inside. Even though the air''s moisture was humid, they still felt that the ce was radiating hot air current. The ce was damp and the walls were mouldy. Making Joan feel he didn''t want to touch the walls. Also, Isaias saw the great painting of them sealing the Demon Lord of affliction.
"Joan, see that? We almost died back in time. We can''t kill the Demon lord or it will possess us. But we have to seal him no matter what. The heroes were wounded after battling multitudes of enemies. Their potions have run out and we are surrounded. As ast-ditch effort, we sealed the demon lord. We seeded in sealing him but the heroes turned to stones. I am left alone and was surrounded by all the enemies. I thought that it was the end of me.. I erected a barrier and held out for days. But the kingdom''s forces arrived after so long that I was going to copse anytime soon," Isaias exined to Joan.
"That was a hard-fought battle," Joan said to Isaias.
"Yes, of course, little Joan! Hard fought indeed," Isaias said to him.
Upon walking forwards, it was getting darker and darker. Isaias just stomped his staff and the lights of the tomb ignited. Making them see all the surroundings. Pirs as big as houses were seen supporting the ceiling and they were made of marble. They went deeper and were approaching the tomb halls. A spacious part of the tomb and were the ce before the seal site. Upon their approach, Isaias opened the door with just his touch.
Chugug!
The door slowly opened and they were assaulted by the smell of decay. Heads of guards were piled on one of the tforms and they hear the ear-piercing wails of creatures inside. They were approached by fast running wailers. A demon spawn that wails before attacking. Runs on their fours and has longer arms than their legs. Thin arms and legs and have long ws. Face were having bulging snake eyes and ears were unrecognisable. Mouths were having sharp long teeth and they don''t have lips to hide their teeth.
They approached while running so fast. Upon Joan''s estimation, their dexterity was in the one hundred to one hundred fifty. They expressed angry faces with mouths opened wide. Joan met some of them in his past life but not so numerous in one ce. They have high dexterity but their strengths were only in their twenties to fifties. As what their thin structure can offer, they were limited in their strength. Contrary to that, they have high vitality reaching two hundred but has low focus.
[Conjure ymore]
Joan conjured a sword. Specifically, a ymore. Primarily used by Two-handed users Holy knights. Now, the Holy knight was originally three job sses. They were the Offensive knight, Protector knight, and Priest. The imprint to the soul of this job ss was thenbined by the God of Angels and was handed to the founding fathers of different job sses. It was what Joan has learned from his past life. And so he knew the very imprint of job sses.
The past world of Joan which was Almeria was having different job ss imprints in each person. One can learn all the jobs but were still limited as one soul has limited slots of imprint. One can harness some skills of other job sses but two job sses were the limit. Stephen was one example of two job sses. One was Priest and another one was Lycan. He can conjure weapons like daggers of Rogue but can not and will not be able to use the skills of Rogues. Only one person or soul has one or two imprints but that was just the limit.
Now, the skill [Heroes'' blessing] has a way to bypass suchw and put your copy of imprint to a soul but it was a one time ticket. Limited to only one person. And that was Stephen. The skill [Heroes'' blessing] was the result of Joan''s research of soul imprints. This imprint was discovered by Joan in the past and he was able to separate the different imprints from one another. It was like it was hidden from each other by a barrier to the soul. Making the soul ept different job sses. Tricking some of his teachers to put their job sses to him, he was able to get it all.
Now, upon equipping the Holy knight job ss. He prepared to attack, with the Offensive knight''s skill [Heavy lifting], his swings will be more threatening.
[Heavy lifting] - a passive skill that lets him lift and swing heavy weapons like hammers and maces including two-handed swords. His swings will be faster and more damaging. Skill can be trained by using Heavy weapons and gives Strength stat by training the skill.
Joan then saw enemiese at him at a speed that rivals his current dexterity stat. Albeit, they were short by a fifty. Still, they were fast enough. Though having the stat of two hundred and fifty in dexterity will make a Rogue a frightening existence. Especially the Ronin that relies on dexterity and focus.
Joan dashed towards them and has no armour that covered him. He thought that armour will only diminish his current speed. But with enough strength and stamina to cover it up, it would be doable.
Just as he dashed, enemies were fast enough to cover their distance in just seconds. shing the enemies with his two-handed sword, the enemies met his weapon with their ws. Sending sparks as they shed with each other. It was then, Joan felt his heart pumping. He wanted some action and forbid to use skills just yet. He wanted to practice his martial arts first before the skill mastery. It was his n for the current events.
Three were on the front while others epassed him. Attacking his back and blindside. Joan saw their tactics and grinned. Thinking that his enemy was using their head for a moment. Three shed on his front with their ws, making Joan evade in hair''s breathe. His priority was on his back who was already attacking. Making Joan block their attacks with the t side of the sword.
Joan then gripped his sword and shed in an arc. shing three enemies on the waist, making his sh cleave on the three enemies. He then turned around and shed the two enemies with two diagonal shes. Making an ''X'' upon them and two were dismembered immediately. Others stepped back a bit but Joan crouched. Sword ready to sh them while on his waist, both hands gripped it with all his strength.
Bang!
Dirt was hurled and he propelled towards the remaining enemies who were fleeing. Thinking that they didn''t sign up for their deaths yet. Joan propelled to one enemy and shed one enemy into two. Propelling again one after another, separating the enemy''s bodies in half. Sword was bathed with blood. Even the enemy has two hundred vitality, two hundred and fifty Strength was enough to cleave three at once.
[Heavy lifting] was used and he was slowly gaining strength on his stats. Albeit slow, it was still enough to drool over. A skill that produces stats was something to be jealous of. Still, it was amon training of Offensive knights and was exclusive to the said job ss. Making the Offensive knight be frightening existences in the past.
Enemies were ughtered one by one. It was not even enough for Joan to break a sweat. Making their essences to be absorbed by Joan and he can only wipe his nose with his finger. A mannerism of his when he wants to express dissatisfaction or when he felt something was not challenging.
