Chapter 38 - Rescue

Due 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.

The 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.

It 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.

It 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..

Knowing 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.

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

A 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.

He 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.

It 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.

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

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

They 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].

[Spirit 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.

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

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

He 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.

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

"Don't worry, I will fulfil it without fail." He said then left.

"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.

He equipped the Rogue class and used the skill [Shadow clone].

[Shadow 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.

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

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

"All of you have to save them as fast as you could," Duplicate said to them then they left in a flash.

The duplicate then went to save the others.

With 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.

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

[Telepathy]–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.

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

They 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.

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

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

"Master Joan! Save us! We are attacked by that monster!" Kendrick said to him while holding his bow in front of him.

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

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

Mana 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.

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

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

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

"Thank you, master! We are saved!" He said while holding his hands. Kissing it with all he got.

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

The 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.

They 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.

After it, the duplicate spoke with them.

"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.
