Chapter 67 - Defense

The duplicate was summoned pretty abruptly and was almost cancelled by the enemy's attack. Luckily, Joan made it on time and successfully summoned him.

Without doing any more unnecessary things, he knows what he needs to do and that was to defend the gate.

Upon the current situation, he slipped from the fight of the original Joan and the Master Rogue. Then went to jump towards the entrance.

To his surprise, enemies were just approaching in the meantime. The first to come in was just scouts to wreak havoc inside. While the main force was just coming. With the wooden sword on his waist, he can't help but be smiling on his weapon.

To his point of view, it was a very deadly weapon with the right enchantments to it and the enchanter job class would do the thing..

To his view, the physical weapons can be enchanted but the conjured ones were not able to be enchanted.

Drawing the weapon, he used his skill of the Paladin [Durability]. Making his weapon as sturdy as one can be. As hard as a strong metal rivalling steels.

There was still time and he still has ample mana, thanks to the original's plan of saving mana in the meantime. Using his summoning skills, he prepared to use all of his mana inside him.

[Skeleton]

Many skeletons appeared. One Skeletal Warrior, One Knight, One Reaper, One Wizard, One Rogue, and, One Ranger.

[Beast call]

Ten wolves appeared and ten Crows. Hovering in the air and wolves growling.

[Shadow clone]

Two Shadow clones appeared with the Rogue job class as their job class.

[Summon bear]

The Bear appeared with Spirit armour covering its body. Burning like fire but as cold as ice. Armour with engravings of Druid language on it.

[Summon vines]

Vines that spits fire, ice and, poison appeared. It has fangs ready to bite the enemies.

All were called and his mana well was as empty as hell. Luckily, he will not pass out of mana's drying up and will just feel empty inside. Stamina excluded, he still have energy left to dance on the enemy's attacks.

Looking just at the far end of the vicinity were seen marching minions who were goblins and Hobgoblins alike. Being said, they were all having their various mix of weapons ranging from wooden clubs to metallic weapons. Blunts and blades alike with others having shields. With leather armours to protect them and to cover their bare green skins having tattoos from oil and charcoal.

Looking at his direction with grimace and stares with the intent of biting him off with just their eyes looking at him.

Eyes in glowing yellow and some were red. Licking their mouths as they can't wait to eat flesh out of him. Seeing that they were all excited to rip him apart, Duplicate can only sigh.

With the right time for them to dishearten their desires, Joan's duplicate stood upright. Dignity and pride were on the line as he stared back at them.

They marched towards his direction and they marched with a thudding sound that reverberated in the vicinity. Duplicate readied himself for the worst. Minions included as they were on the same side.

Soon after that, the small goblins attacked.

Dashing in their direction. Hobgoblins were steadily approaching them but were just walking.

Rar! Rerar! Rurk!

They snarled and grinned while dashing towards them. Saliva dripped and tongues sticking out from their mouths. All are on a high horse as they attacked the few obstacles blocking the village. The place where they can enjoy a feast on citizens for their mouths to be full.

"Skeletons! Make a line in the front! Beast call troops! Kill anything that escaped the skeletons. Druid troops! Make a defence on the gate. Don't let anyone pass!" Duplicate shouted.

He then stood in the front lines, looking at the flooding enemies that were coming at them.

"This defence will be awesome! All troops hold your positions! We will prevail!" Duplicate shouted.

Having the Mage as a job class, he stood there and rained spells.

[Fireball]

Seven fireballs appeared on his back and then he threw it to the enemies from afar.

After that, the seven fireballs landed on the frontlines of the enemies. Killing immediately the seven of them.

After that, the goblins who have bows and arrows fired at him. Using his [Telekinesis] to float in the air, he was rained with arrows but he used his skill [Force field] to temporarily block the arrows.

Making his minions safe from the arrows while making himself the target.

Arrows just stick to the force field then drops to the ground. Raining the minions with arrows beneath.

As the enemies approached, only the Skeletal Ranger was seen firing. Others were just standing there together with the others.

Hitting some before the enemies clashed with them. To the Duplicate's surprise, the skeletons were able to stop their charge. Making the enemies to be hampered by just their body's weight. Making their faces to slam in their bones.

Others stared at them but the eyes of the skeletons were brimming with a cold glare. Blue icy eyes stared at them then decapitated them. Rolling their heads on the ground.

While looking at them, Joan's duplicate was amazed. Still, it didn't stop the enemies from their attacks. Goblins flooded at the skeleton soldiers but it was all blocked. Making them having a hard time as many enemies attacked them all at once.

Soon after, goblins have escaped from their formation and the Lycan troops attacked them. With their [Spirit dash], their speed rose in a terrifying degree.

Biting the enemies off in their necks and forcefully twisting them. Snapping their heads on the process.

Other crows attacked the eyes of the goblins. Some clawed their eyes, some pecked them. Making the enemies blind. Other crows were smashed with their weapons but they regenerated with their summoner's mana.

Others were able to distract them and the wolves took the last hit at them. The goblins that have shields were smashed by the wolves with their bodies. Making them be thrown to their weight and then they bit them while shaking their heads.

The enemies still were able to pass some of them but the Bear used its skill [Hand slam]. Smashing the ground with a terrible force, shaking the ground and the shockwave was enough to kill a group with a paste of flesh as the remains.

The three vines spew poison, the other one was fire and another one was ice. Making the enemies suffer from the elements. Others were just choking on the ground due to poisoning, others were slowed and some were frozen. Others were burned to the ground. Making an effective defence to the enemies.
