Chaos Knight And Paladin Xin went to the dungeon B class rank 4. They need to level up as per the instructions of Original.
They were walking for several minutes inside the dungeon which was a barren land.
Just up ahead, they saw a fallen tree that was blocking the way. They soon took a stop by the front of the tree.
"Wait stop, something's amiss!" Chaos Knight Xin said while raising his right hand but it was too late.
Bang!
Seconds later, the foothold they have cracked and they fell to the ground. Paladin Xin trusts his sword on the walls on the pit. Several inches from their location were spikes. Sharpened with crude tools and the tip was not perfectly pointy.
They were inside the pit with spikes and only the light was just up above them.
Chaos Knight Xin can only laugh bitterly as he didn't expect to be in such a terrible situation. Not expecting such underhanded technique to be used against him. To his surprise, it was the first time that he was outwitted by such a scheme.
Paladin Xin saw pitch darkness. Feeling the surroundings with his hands but saw the top having radiance. Chaos Knight Xin threw Paladin Xin to the top and he got to the top.
When Chaos knight Xi. looked up. They heard screech and squeals from above.
'Goblins' Xin can only smirk.
From above, Xin saw a goblin then followed by the others, lifting huge stones and others were holding pots. They threw boulders at him. It was because the boulders were not just as small as a ball but as large as a person. It has the same size used in catapults to sieging high walls. Four boulders were dropped all at once and so he bit his lips.
Xin was hit by the boulders. But sadly, Xin's willpower can't maintain the boulder with such weight. It was too much and too heavy for him.
The goblins didn't stop there, they added more boulders for him to struggle into.
Struggling to live, Paladin Xin saw his pained expression.
As Xin was racking his brain, they screeched and their leader gave commands. Their language can't be read by a human.
Pouring out the pots with oil in the boulders, they fired burning arrows in it. Setting it on fire.
Chaos Knight Xin could only bit his lips as he was put into the corner with such creatures. Goblins were weak physically but they have tactics, battle techniques, and, smart thinking surpassing most humans.
But he needs to repel the boulders. The goblins rained arrows on them and Chaos Knight Xin started to climb. Some goblins were also throwing rocks as big as their heads.
Goblins screeched as their attacks were stopped. Making angry faces on the fact that they can't do anything. Some of them even cursed at them with human language.
"Hurry!" Paladin Xin bellowed.
"I know! Idiot!" He screamed in response.
Just moments before he gave up, the Chaos Knight Xin successfully made it.
"Yes! See you on the surface!" The Paladin Xin said as he saluted at him.
"Hey! Don't die on me!" He shouted then vanished.
Moreover, he was on his knees as he lifts the last two boulders. In split seconds, his mind snapped and he almost passed out.
He was buried in the rubble and the boulders smashed on him. Boulders hit the spikes and Chaos Knight Xin was not seen.
Just as inside the dark pit, Chaos Knight Xin was being piled with rocks. His head was bleeding and his breathing was hoarse. His chest was crushed with a boulder and was breathing with what's left of his life.
It was no use to heal himself as his wounds will still be damaged again as the boulder was on top of him.
Grasping his hands, he used his Job class Chaos Knight.
[Chaos aura]–enveloping his body and surrounding with chaos miasma. A hot black smoke with embers flowing out of his body.
This made the boulders melt in great heat. Due to being frozen, it melted faster than normal. Making it in embers then into melted lava.
[Chaos breath]–a skill of inhaling the miasma and breathing it out towards the enemy.
He breathed to the boulders and it corroded like an acid. Making him bathed in lava itself.
[Berserk]–a skill that makes him have high regeneration and all his stats were doubled.
He was able to regenerate his crushed organs and bones and stood up, lifting the rocks that were piling on him.
[Revenge]–a skill of making his stats rise with more damage he takes.
His damage was etched on his mind, making it fuel his damage and power to pour out on enemies. Returning the damage he received to the enemies that damaged him.
Paladin Xin successfully made it to the surface. Breathing deeply as he replenishes his mana. It was mana consuming for his part.
Thinking about it, he scanned the surroundings. Staring at the goblins who were also shocked that he appeared in thin air.
Paladin Xin saw their immediate danger. Making him prepare for worst-case scenarios. Looking at the enemies who were a couple of hundreds.
Tools of killing were in their hands. Equipped with clubs, swords, and, daggers. Staring at him as he stared back.
Their leader screeched then commanded them to attack. Joan felt alerted, due to him haven't recovered his mana yet.
Thinking of it, he didn't know if he will thank him or not. With his weapon, he used the skill of Paladin [Durability]. Making his mana drained on the process.
The enemies attack full force while moving synchronously. It seemed they trained themselves to attack while covering each other's back too.
This only made Paladin Xin feel slight worry. While the two of them were surrounded, they thought of doing the same too.
All the enemies attacked from all directions. Making him backed into the corner. Surrounded and was at their weakest.
The Paladin Xin them screamed and attacked aggressively. Swatting the heavy club with his wooden stick then slashed it with his wooden weapon on the neck.
But as he did it, three of the enemies approached. One immediately blocked his attack while two attack him on both sides.
'Seriously, he is taking it too long to get out there,' Paladin Xin spoke in his mind.
The Paladin Xin then prepared himself for their synced attacks. Two enemies were on the front so Duplicate then blocked two attacks. As he blocked them, two goblins appeared on his back. Making the Paladin Xin to block them in split second.
Making them block and repel in succession. Paladin Xin then used his martial arts attack patterns without its buffs. Side-kicking one goblin to the stomach. Others immediately covered him and attacked while he was distracted.
Making him rotate himself and made a Roundhouse back kick. They were thrown into the process.
With his alert eyes, an arrow flew past his face. Slitting his cheek and blood dripped.
He didn't notice it as he rotated when he kicked one.
Paladin Xin could only get disgusted by their cunning nature. But still, his mana was in the process of recovering. Making him bit his lips on their predicament.
Goblins attacked and when they saw Duplicate attack their brethren, they fired arrows to cover their comrade. Making it more difficult to be in such a situation. It was like their tactics were flawless.
Paladin Xin swatted arrows that flew in his direction.
While things get awry, Paladin Xin was fighting for their lives.
Thinking about it, they attacked again in the second round. Paladin Xin was fending them off but will not last until the enemies grew tired. The worst-case was he was being played by these bastards. Tiring him off until he will get weakened.
He inhaled air to calm his nerves. These kinds of synced-attack tactics made him on-edge. With more tactics to throw at them, Paladin Xin could only bit his tongue in the process.
Moving on, he can only endure their batter while defending. Attacking them will make him have openings but what could go wrong if he tried to go all out.
It means that he was disadvantaged with what was happening. Thinking of their safety was his priority. Now that it turned to this, he can only smirk at the enemy's faces.
They were doing the same to him too. Minding that they were just preys for them to be eaten.
"Just a bit, I can feel Chaos knight's pulse rise," he said.
'Pulse?' He wondered.
Until suddenly, A banging sound bursts accompanied by a shockwave of air from the pit. Jumping in the air then lands on the goblins.
"Xin!" Paladin Xin shouted. Feeling relieved and comforted just by his presence.
"Kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! kill! That is so painful! I am gonna kill who threw a rock on me!" Chaos Knight Xin screamed.
He was covered with [Chaos aura] and was burning the ground. Eyes glowing in embers and skin was burning orange with a reddish hue. Embers gushing out of his body and hair went up, spiky and coloured in dark red.
"Pain! Pain! Pain! I will make you feel pain! Aaaarrrggggg!!!" His voice reverberated and struck fear to enemies and allies alike.
Chaos Knight Xin's pain fueled his skill's effects. Making him go berserk as a result. The Paladin Xin felt worried as he saw Chaos Knight Xin succumb in great anger.
He was kind-hearted but when he uses such skills as the Chaos Knight. Some of his attitude changes.
Making him lose control was what triggers such scenarios. He has low control as a part of being a beginner job class. Something that was sacrificed in exchange for power.
But if he has higher control, he will be level minded and sober while using such skills. Making it a double-edged sword that will harm enemies and allies alike.
He started to grow scales on his right arm and was brimming with an aura that was harmful to enemies. Even the duplicate will be harmed too if he will approach him.
One factor too was the damage he suffered when he was hit with a rock on his head and passed out. But before he passed out, he was able to use his Chaos Knight's regeneration. Only awakening his other self in the process.
The Paladin Xin called Chaos Knight Xin but he was in his rampaging self. It will not be good news for them if he will rampage.
After that, he turned to him and dashed. Goblins alerted and so the battle begins. Running towards the Paladin Xin, he was blocked by the goblins.
He was smashed in the head by one goblin with his club but Chaos Knight Xin swings his hands, pushing him to his side who were thrown by his force. He was stabbed in the belly but he grabbed the dagger and it melted on the heat of his miasma.
As he was stabbed, he grabbed the hands of the goblin whose skin were sizzling as it was burnt with his aura.
Screeching and trashing around while its hands were tightly gripped by Chaos Knight Xin. It soon died on the spot as its skin darkened. Making it smelled roasted meat in the surrounding.
He then threw the dead smoking body of the goblin. Others slashed his left and right but he grabbed the swords and clubs after they inflicted damage to him. Gripping their hands while their weapons melted. Smashing them to the ground made the dirt thrown all over. Buried by the sheer force then he stomped their faces with his feet. Ending their lives in the process.
Even more so, they still charged at him without caring for their safety. Swatting them left and right while making a sound of bones cracking. Breaking their ribcage on the process and was thrown to the trees from afar.
He didn't stop there. He was rained by arrows and was struck in his chest and shoulders. Others were on his feet but he was just calmly walking towards the goblins.
Making their arrows burnt and his wounds heal while his skill was still active.
Other goblins attacked in all directions with their random weapons. Joan was surrounded and so it was the time when he used his skill [Chaos breath].
Breathing to the goblins while he was rotating himself. Making a counter-clockwise rotation and burnt the goblins. Even though he used his skill, the goblins were more determined than he anticipated.
They successfully hit him with their weapons. Two stabbed him with their swords, piercing his side that went through towards his back. Two were using knives and stabbed him in the back. Club users smashed him in the head.
Xin can only grit his teeth and grabbed the two club users. Gripping it and they were choked on the process. Struggling to let go of his grip.
He tightened his grip then snapped their necks. The other goblins were burnt but were enduring it. They twisted their weapons that were stabbed in him and Xin's composure snapped.
The two on his back was grabbed and he slammed them on his front, hugging the four of them with his deathly hug.
Screams went out of their mouth as they were all burnt to crisps. Making Paladin Xin tremble as he has seen Joan's ferocity. His hairs went up as he didn't expect him to be like that. Different from the Xin he met in their past travels.
He can only grit his teeth and hoped that he will come back to his past self. The goblin's leader also felt the dread of such a creature. Making him command his underlings to attack with all their forces. This time around, Xin initiated the attack. He dashed towards them then approached their leader on a whim. Lifting his feet they stomped him to the face.
Crushing its face that went to the ground then making a crater on the process. The leader was stomped nonstop by Chaos Knight Xin and didn't stop there while the enemy was struggling.
The enemy stabbed his feet with his knife but Xin didn't stop. Only making him furious and stomping again.
"Pain! Pain! Pain! Pain! I will make you feel pain!" Xin screamed with every stomping of feet.
The other goblins were stupified but when their leader stopped moving. They attacked with their last numbers. Who were all punched by Xin.
Cracking their bones with every hit. They synced their attacks for a more chance of inflicting damage. Attacking as a distraction on the front while others were for attacking his blind spots.
While doing so, Xin screamed. Making his miasma grew bigger and hotter. Making them regret halfway their attacks.
They were burnt as they were all in flames. Xin then grabbed his head as it aches, unbearable for his mind to take and slammed his knees to the ground.
"Xin! Hang in there!" Paladin Xin dashed towards him.
He karate chopped his nape that made Chaos Knight Xin sleep with his attack.
His eyes went blank and his mouth was open. He went limp and passed out. He was slowly dropping his body but Paladin Xin caught him.
"I am here Xin, I am here. We will never leave you again. Sleep now my friend," Paladin Xin shushed him to sleep.
All were in chaos with dead bodies starting to disintegrate in their surroundings. Xin can only sigh in relief as all went nicely without any deaths from them.
All the disintegrated particles were glittering in yellow and all went to Chaos Knight Xin who was sleeping.

"Well, that will do. I will wait for him to wake up," The Paladin Xin said, "I need him to get healed by Healer Xin."
