Having chosen the Job class he wanted, he immediately removed the summoned katana from his hands. Dispersing in the air as well as the armor on his shoulders.
Another wave of enemies was incoming and he was staring at the flooding enemies. Imps dyed in blood were just ahead of the road. Dancing while chanting their undistinguishable rant.
The road was going upwards as he began to ascend the dirt road. As he thought that it was better to surprise them, he hesitated first and sneaked in the dark as he approaches them.
They seemed to be loud with their talking and giggling as Joan approached them. Carrying nothing in his hands, he can only wry as he was not being seen.
Little by little, step by step, he moved slowly but he accidentally stepped on the stick. Breaking it into two as well as making it sound.
They all stared in his direction and he was awkwardly crouching, sneaking just a few meters away from them.
Joan smiled at them then turned serious. He was embarrassed deep inside but he was also in a hurry. He wanted to end it silently but it was beyond help.
"Rise!" He said while raising his hands.
He used his skill [Skeleton] and the enemies were grabbed from the ground with [Grappling hands].
From the ground rose Skeletons like 2 Skeleton Knights, 1 Wizard, 2 Archers, 2 Warriors, and 1 Reaper. All was emitting a cold blue aura from their eyes and breathing out cold steam that was color blue.
Skeletal Knights carry armor and shields with swords. The Wizard has tattered robes with a book made of an ashen black leather cover. Archers have bow and arrow and the Warriors has two-handed swords. Reaper has a two-handed scythe.
All attacked the rooted enemies in the ground as they rose. The enemies seemed to panic as they were rooted and can't run with hands made of bones were holding them. They struggled but it was all for nought.
Screams were all over the place. Slaughter was what comes next. They tried to defend themselves but it was only a matter of time before they were all overwhelmed.
Some enemies were cut in half. Making them into dead bodies in just seconds. All were in chaos. Some were struck in the head with arrows. Some were decapitated by swords and scythe alike.
Their shrieking cries soon ended as the enemies were all slaughtered. Joan walked past them as they were killed. Picking up the pace as he felt great mana was removed from him.
He felt that the wolves were fighting and was damaged. It only made his heart race in the process. Dashing, he was protected by the [Skeletons].
All were in their fastest to follow Joan's pace. While Joan didn't want them to be left behind he also was in the race of time.
The skeletons made way for him with the enemies that were spawning nonstop in their village. Despite the enemies were great in numbers, it was one hit and they were killed instantly.
Approaching near the houses, Joan saw Ben Kendrick, Eman and others to be fighting off Imps. With the pack complete and crows approaching him in the opposite direction.
"Master! It was master!" Shouted Kendrick on the opposite side of the hill.
Joan was so happy that his eyes felt teary. Drops of tears were flowing in his eyes. His skeletons were all having difficulty in chasing him.
Imps were on the road and Joan can't wait for his skeleton soldiers to finish them off. He can only smirk as he felt agitated.
[Death scythe] was summoned and he dashed while holding it in his back. While in his fastest, he saw the Imps to be approaching.
Rotating it left and right, he was able to decapitate them without inconvenience. Also, he swirled his weapon of death like he was making a performance in front of his students. Dancing like he was rotating it in his back and forth towards his front. Rotating it in his neck as he turned around and slicing an enemy as he slashed in a wide arch.
They were all killed majestically. Joan then approached them. Soon after, his students then shouted at him.
"Your back master! There are skeleton monsters in your back!" Alex shouted, pointing at his back.
Joan soon realised that his skeleton soldiers were coming in his back. He can only smile and close his eyes proudly. Putting his scythe on his shoulders and replied at them.
"Oh! Meet my summons! Skeletons here are my students, and students my skeletons!" Joan said while letting them know each other.
His students can only drop their jaws on the process. Not able to digest immediately what they heard and was still processing the information.
"What!?" They all shouted.
Joan chuckled. They were shaking their heads and slapping their cheeks.
"This is indeed reality," Kendrick said after he slapped himself.
"I am a Necromancer! I can summon skeletons in my bidding. And many more. Now we should leave this place immediately, as the seed of evil was planted in this village. It was by shedding the blood of the inhabitants of the land first then spawning the evil creatures by connecting the plane with the demon world," Joan explained.
"Demon world? Where and what is that?" Kendrick asked him in curiosity.
Joan can only close his eyes in their innocence. He gasped air and inhaled deeply.
"Be prepared to hear this but the Demon world is under the plane. Right under where we are standing," Joan said to them.
They soon realised that the world of the Angel God and the Demon God was only one. The other was on top while the other was below.
It was very mind blogging at first but they soon get the gist of it. It was due to them seeing it with their own eyes. They soon felt dumbstruck as they didn't know it in the first place. The truth was very hard to swallow and they didn't know it since birth.
Thanks to Joan's knowledge, they knew now. It was pretty too late though but still, they knew now. It was better late than never.
"And who is this Demon God? And Angel God?" Kendrick asked again the second time around.
"The Angel God was the true God. Having no beginning and end. The Alpha and Omega. While the God of Demons was first originated as the entity called Sin. Consuming and corrupting the Arc Angel of Material plane and was getting stronger by committing Sins. His sons were all the result of his sins when he shed his soul and spirit. Making his shed spirit as their bodies, they were immortal and unkillable as they have their soul attached to their spiritual bodies. I knew this as the gift of knowledge was blessed unto me when I was anointed. It only started to be awakened recently when I saw my mother and father died." Joan said sadly.
"Our parents were dead too, we are the only ones who are left in this village," Alex said to him.
"I am so sorry as I can't save you beforehand. This is all my fault," Joan said while having an unstable voice.
"No master! It is not. We are all in this together," Ben said to him while tapping his shoulders.
"Yeah, we are," Joan said to them smiling bitterly.
They all looked at him with determined looks different from their past selves. Carrying bows and arrows tucked on their shoulders. Having robes that have a hood that they covered their heads with. Sitting on the wolves who then howled.
From the distance, a dark-robed traveller was staring at them. His eyes were covered with the hood and he was smiling. Showing his teeth on the process.
