Chapter 46: Elements
Joan as a master of all Elements threw away everything. Betting in the battle he didn't know he could get out alive or not. All he wanted was to kill the bastard who killed his students.
With just the Elements only his weapon, etched in his body. Summoning them like it was only breathing and can do as he wished with it. It was none other than the Element control that Joan practised when he was learning the basics.
Not something that Joan was lame at but something that he hides. Hesitant to use them freely and only used them when he has run out of mana. Equivalent to the last-ditch effort or last option. Likewise, it will be devastating.
Dashing to the enemy who was aware of his current situation, shocked as he broke free of the prison. Not something he sees every day and was impressed.
"Hahaha, If you are only a master level of Job class. Then you will not be affected by my skill [Mana drain] and [Mana degeneration]. Seems you are too weak in the first place!" He shouted at him.
Joan shouted at him, screaming with his anger fueling it. Approaching with eyes brimming with wrath. Veins popping out below the skin on his face.
Immediately, he used the Wind Element in his hands. Gushing out and encircling his hands. Pointing both hands in his back while ducking.
Soon after that, Joan boosted the wind element and it gushed out a turbulent wind just behind his back. Propelling his body forward with just the control of the Element.
Travelling at great speed, he immediately reached the enemy. Even though Joan has reached him so fast, spikes from the ground emerged again as he approached.
Spikes from his enemy emerged from his foothold, emerging from the ground until it goes to Joan. Joan jolted as his speed was at its highest. He manoeuvred with his hands, evading the spikes while mid-air.
His enemy also didn't want to be attacked by him with his speed. He dashed to escape but launching spikes that were rising to the ground was not stopping there.
Instead, it became numerous with him escaping. Spikes assaulted left and right and Joan barely escaped the assault.
All things were happening too fast that even Joan was still adjusting. Scrape wounds were made in his shoulders as a result of barely escaping the spikes. More so, Joan didn't stop there. He steeled his will and manuevered in great control.
He changed his hand position, facing one on the front left and one on his back right. Gushing air flows through his hands and he rotated. Emitting Fire element on his both hands while spinning around. A tornado of fire was made and burned the spikes of the enemy. Then it disappeared altogether with Joan.
Not a trace of his presence was being seen as the enemy was looking up and down, left and right. Soon after that, Joan appeared in his back. He jolted while turning around, as fast as he could. Making spikes on his back.
Joan then disappeared again and buried himself to the ground using his Earth Element manipulation.
He went down to the ground without breathing. Dirt was moving for him to dive like it was only in the water. Moving like a fish deep below the ground.
As he sensed the enemy, he propelled upwards and saw that the enemy was just below him. Jumping to the enemy with the rocks behind his back and the dirt was compacted. Surrounding his body with an armour-like suit made of hardened rock and earth.
Size enlarged and preparing to punch him. While mid-air, Joan fired the floating rocks towards him. One rock can cause rending of flesh.
The enemy was just below him. Staring at him with no worries. He raised his hands then prepared to grab Joan even though he was far enough. From what Joan has seen, he was grinning at him and can trigger agitation deep inside.
Joan launched the rocks on his back then it rained the enemy's location, just where he was standing.
Joan used Wind element to gust out the dust caused by the rock's assault. To his surprise, he was covered with spikes that seemed to be arranged like a pyramid.
Joan used the Earth element and raised his enemy's foothold instantly like an explosion. The enemy was propelled upwards and Joan then detached his armour hands. Launching it to him as he detached it.
Grabbing the enemy with his controlled Earthen armour hands. By it, they were both in the air as Joan controlled the armour to he levitated. The same as the grabbed enemy in front of him.
"You did well with just your Elemental control. I applaud your abilities despite handicapped. Now, why did I killed your friends? You want to ask?" The robed man smirked at him. One eye was narrowed as the other was big enough to make Joan say that he was intimidating him.
"You will pay for what you've done. As for your answer, I want you to say it to me while puking blood. Crawling for forgiveness. Regret what you have done while begging for your life. But I knew who you are and I know that it was naive to make you do that. Lord of Affliction?" Joan said to him. Gripping his enemy tighter than before.
"Hahahahaha, ugh that name was so refreshing to hear to my enemy. I will bring more sacrifice for my father! More seeds of evil to plant here in these plains. This is just the start! You will all know my name and kneel before me! I am...." He said but Joan snapped his neck with his grip.
"Hah, too much talking. A waste of time. Oh! Sorry, I intend to torture you first! Don't die yet!" Joan can only curse and bit his lips.
Suddenly, the body went limp and an evil spirit left the body.
Resembling a dragon faced devil with horns of a bull. Spikes were on its back and has a tail of a snake. Leaving the body then went inside Joan.
Joan can feel his soul and spirit overtaking his mind. Joan felt that it will all be too late if his body will be overtaken. His eyes began to glow red and he panicked about what to do.
"Hahaha! You insolent fool! You went to my trap! We sons of Demon God were immortal! And we will transfer our souls to the ones that killed us! You know now why we are sealed in eternity by the heroes? For us not to transfer! Hahaha!" He shouted on Joan's mind.
'Think, think, think. If I will be consumed, I will be dead! Wait? Dead?" Joan was struck with a sudden thought.
"Everything is too late! Just let your body be mine! Hahaha!" The Lord of Affliction laughed triumphantly.
Joan smirked at his remarks.
"Watch me!" Joan shouted.
He created spears made of rocks, raising the rocks and formed into spear-like rocks aiming at himself.
"If I die, you will not be able to transfer anymore right?" Joan smirked.
"What? You will kill yourself? Crazy! Bastard! What do you think you're doing?" He shouted in his mind.
"Oh, so you are concerned now?" Joan said to him.
Thinking of ending his life and meeting everyone he lost. Even though he wanted to still live and complete the mission of the God of Angels. He was under the possession of a Demon.
Thinking not much for him to live, he stabbed himself left and right with the spears. Piercing through his body and blood splattered. Having a flashback with his parents after a stab has landed. Another flashback of his students with another stab. Flashbacks were seen with every stab he suffered. Soon enough, he slammed his feet first then knee on the ground as he lost control of the armour he has.
"We will meet at last, everyone," He said as he let out his last breath.
Losing his life while kneeling. The wind blew his cheeks and a single tear went down from his eyes.
Soon after, the demon who possessed him left as he also felt the pain of the same suicide as Joan.
"Curse you!" He screamed as he faded.
Joan was solitary in the ground. From afar, walking a solitary man that has a beard white and ashen. Sprinkles of black can still be seen and he was stroking it with his hands. A cane on his other hand and was wearing brown robes.
It was none other than the Prophet Isaias. Isaias saw his dead body and he can only sigh in great discouragement.
"What a fool," He said then poke Joan in his side, testing if he was still alive.
