Chapter 38 - Rescue

nDue to overexherting his willpower while using the Telekinesis. Joan was on the verge of collapsing as he heard their whistle arrow flew in the sky. Even it was not the best time to sound and he was not in the best condition where it sounded, he still made a plan to help them even with such a state.

nThe whistle arrows were all fired in different directions and Joan was in a pitiful state. If not for the overexertion of his willpower, it would be a different story.

nIt was just that the enemy can't be killed on cuts and he has no dagger. Just a wooden bow and wooden arrows. In the past, Joan didn't even have a proper hunting knife as a second weapon. So poor and so ill-equipped was his hunting life for many years.

nIt was very devastating for the old Joan to be at. While thinking of the knife, it will be hard to decapitate the Ghoul as knives were not the best weapons for decapitation considering his current strength. .

nKnowing also that Ghouls has thick hides to be cut immediately. Maybe a katana of Ronins or swords on sword using job classes will do the thing.

nIt was a hard battle for Joan and he resorted to the advanced skill of mages–Telekinesis.

nA skill that Joan used in the past so much even doing normal tasks like reading books, lifting his sword and fighting using controlled swords, or even daggers and shields.

nHe can do it normally but he was sent back to his beginner job class. It was two stages ahead of him but he was able to harness it by forcing his willpower.

nIt was one of the skills of the Mages: Telekinetic magic, Spatial magic, Elemental magic and, Telepathic magic. These were the magic of the mages. A diverse class that has many skills, literally having the most spells out of all.

nJoan felt that the world was spinning around. He was desperate, though he collapsed on the ground.

nThe thing that he did before passing out was equipping the Druid job class. It was the class that boasts of their Spirit related skills.

nThey were having a skill that can duplicate your spirit and soul and make a perfect copy of yourself. Specifically the skill Spirit and Soul Duplication.

nSpirit and Soul Duplication–a skill of the Druids that can able to duplicate your current soul and spirit. It will duplicate your current self and once duplicated, it can't become stronger even though the original will become stronger. The duplicate will disappear after the caster will die or the caster lets him disappear. Once the duplicate dies, the memories will transfer to the original and will feel the same pain with his duplicate. Making the original also suffer the same wound as the duplicate.

nThis skill was very life-threatening for the original as it can transfer both memories and wounds to the original.

nIt was what he needed at the moment and his desperation made him do it.

nHe used the skill and all his mana gushed out of his body. Forming his duplicate's soul and spirit as well its body with the use of mana. It has the same features as him, blue hair, sharp look, wearing the same clothes. All made of mana.

n

"Please save them,

" Joan uttered as he stared at his duplicate. Making his hands reach him then the world turned pitch black.

n

"Don't worry, I will fulfil it without fail.

" He said then left.

n

"Today, I am Joan Emsworth. I will take on your name and do your request as you rest,

" He said then dashed to where the students were.

nHe equipped the Rogue class and used the skill Shadow clone.

nShadow clone–a skill of the Rogue that was primarily due to the use of shadow element. Having all the qualities of the summoner but locked to the Rogue job class only. It has the option of choosing between quality or quantity. Meaning, choosing between the numbers in the sacrifice of the vitality of the clones. Or the other way around.

nFour clones appeared and were in their Rogue class. They summoned a dagger in their hands by using their skill Conjure dagger.

nThey all kneeled on him and revered him as their summoner. All were having the quality of the soul of the duplicate.

n

"All of you have to save them as fast as you could,

" Duplicate said to them then they left in a flash.

nThe duplicate then went to save the others.

nWith the time of the essence, he dashed while using Teleport. By the use of his Clairvoyance skill, he managed to pinpoint their locations. Using Telepathy to the other Shadow clones, he notified them of their locations. Making their fastest to be at their locations.

nTeleport–a mage skill that can transfer to the pinpointed location or by the placed teleportation runes.

nTelepathy–a mage skill of talking to the mind of the target. Can be used to control the target at its highest level or make illusions. Can also read what the person was thinking or reading memories. Can make the person be forced to sleep. Can also brainwash but it was forbidden.

nJoan teleported to Kendrick and Eman's locations and saw that they were attacked by ghouls too.

nThey were both wounded and were swatting its attacks with their bows. The ghoul was full of arrows and Kendrick was at pinch being cornered at the tree.

nEman was holding his wound on the shoulders and so the duplicate used his Telekinesis to just suspend it on the air.

nThey saw the ghoul stop and they also saw who saved them.

n

"Master Joan! Save us! We are attacked by that monster!

" Kendrick said to him while holding his bow in front of him.

nThe duplicate then used his skill, to conjure a sword. What the duplicate has learned was he needs to right his original's mistakes.

nConjure sword–a skill of making a conjured sword made of mana. A skill of Knights when they have no sword as a weapon.

nMana was gushing out of its blade, it was like a weapon that was drawn from the ice. Making it look cold but it was warm to the touch.

nHe grabbed the sword which was floating and then he approached the ghoul who was struggling to make itself be freed from his control.

nHe held the sword with all his might then he slashed the neck. Decapitating it on the process.

nHead rolled on the ground and the body was thrown to the tree by the duplicate.

n

"Thank you, master! We are saved!

" He said while holding his hands. Kissing it with all he got.

nKendrick's wound was still open and gushing blood but he still prioritized thanking his master. Even staining the duplicate's hands with his blood.

nThe duplicate knew this person as he was the soul of the original. Healing him with his spell Heal. Even Eman was healed and so they thanked their master.

nThey were grabbed by him then they teleported to where Joan was sleeping. They felt confused as to see another Joan. Wracking their brains on what they've seen.

nAfter it, the duplicate spoke with them.

n

"I am the duplicate of the Original's Spirit and Soul. He collapsed on the ground and so he summoned me. You have to hurry wake him up and protect his sleeping body while I will go. I will have to save your other friends and heal them. I can see in my clairvoyance that they are wounded too and needs my healing. See ya!

" He saluted on them then disappeared without a trace.
