The two was at the race of time. Finding enemies who were buying time for the successful unsealing of the Demon Lord of Corruption. Seeing the two enemies of the past became stronger than before made them think to be serious.

It was not something to face half-hearted. Now that their enemies were mocking them, they will have to surprise them. Joan was semi agitated by his enemy’s behaviour. Upon the enemy’s current prowess, it will be a tough fight.

The Demon General launched its attack with its giant body. Roaring at Joan as it approached. Joan too was not too timid when it comes to his enemy. Having the Werewolf form battle him was a great mismatch on his part. Thinking about it, he used his Druid Job class. .

[Summon bear]

He used the summoning of Druids and then observed. The bear used its skill [Spirit armor] and then used its skill [Charge] towards the enemy.

The enemy on the contrary was just standing there, arms open wide while crouching. Waiting for the bear to slam at his gigantic body. Prepared to receive the momentum of its enemy.

The bear dashed at full speed, hurling and digging the tomb’s flooring with every step. Roaring at the enemy and the enemy roared back. Armor was glowing with runes from the Druid language and then their body collided.

Bang!

The bear was caught by his arms and was lifted. The bear roared at Balmuth and then bit his hands. Roaring at him too after it bit him and soon threw it to the tomb’s walls.

Bang!

Joan then realised that his enemy was stronger than his bear. Being a Demon General has its perks and has a larger body made it have a prowess greater than that of his summoned bear.

That being the case, Joan recalled his summon who went coming at him. Patting its head and smiled.

“You’ve done well, rest for now. I will handle things my way.” Joan said to him.

It soon growled and glowed, it was then sucked by Joan like it entered his body.

“Now for the time being, if my memories will not fail me. I know the answer at how to defeat the enemy.” Joan said to himself.

As the bear served as a tester of his enemy. Whether his theory was right or not. Joan then dashed towards the enemy. Running at full speed while approaching the enemy in his front.

“Hahaha! Do you want to have suicide? Come here!” He shouted at him.

He summoned flames on his back and there appeared floating fireballs.

[Homing fireballs]

Launching his attack at him and as he commanded to fire in Joan’s direction.

[Homing fireballs]–a skill of making a floating fireball but has homing capabilities that follow the enemy’s direction. Has exploding effects after it hit the target.

As he fired the fireballs, it was directed towards Joan’s direction. Making him laugh as Joan was fired with multiple homing projectiles. Joan stared at it and still didn’t stop his momentum. Running towards him at full speed.

‘I have to evade it without tiring myself so much. The Demon Lord was still here and it will not be a good thing be exhausted after this.’

While he was running, he saw incoming enemy attacks and so he doubled his speed. Dashing in greater pacing as he saw the homing missiles were getting near. Up in the air, missiles uncountable by mere estimation were what floated the tomb. As he saw the projectiles, he dashed sideways to evade the enemy attacks. Banging the floor and damaging the floor upon its wake. Pebbles were hurled as the floor was damaged by its explosive prowess. Luckily, the missiles exploded after hitting the floor. Making Joan smile in the process.

Thinning the floating fireball as he was assaulted by them. While Joan was celebrating, the enemy summoned another round of fireballs. Making his celebration put to a halt. The enemy laughed again with his predicament. Thinking that he will be having a great time enjoying his enemy’s situation as he was playing with his life.

“Dance some more! Hahaha!” Balmuth shouted.

The enemy fired again the [Homing fireball]. Joan then saw another round of evading and so he hurried to his enemy’s direction. Up in the air were fireballs lit and he saw multiple missiles heading his way. Making Joan sigh and stare at how majestic it was.

“Wow, spectacular!” He said in a trance.

The fireballs rained afterwards in his direction. And so he dashed to meet them head-on. Joan saw one fireball that was heading his way, so he dashed left in an instant. The fireball landed just a few centimetres in his side and exploded. Just as he smiled for evading one, the other one was incoming. Making him halt his laugh.

Five were on his way and so he dashed left and right to confuse the homing missiles. The missiles then landed just in his side. Still, it exploded and it made Joan be flung a bit by its shockwave.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

All happened in an instant, all were smoky as the explosion made all the surroundings into a mess. Smoky on the process. Just as he finished evading the five. Other missiles were coming. He emerged from the ruins of the floor and continued his way towards him.

“Hahahaha! Dance, dance, dance! Feel free to dance as long as you like!” He shouted.

His enemy was laughing hysterically as he saw his enemy be rained at with it. After he saw that Joan survived, he immediately went all out and rained him with all the remaining fireballs. Just as he was standing there where he stood, he saw the fireball to be moving in random directions. Others were moving towards his side, others were on the walls, the floor and, the ceiling. Making Balmuth wonder what happened.

“What just happened? It’s impossible!” He blurted out.

Little that he know that Joan was a Grandmaster of elemental control. And that was a secret even Balmuth didn’t knew of. Only the Lord of Affliction saw it first hand.

Just as they exploded in all directions, Joan emerged from the chaos and jumped into the air. As he saw him up in the mid-air, Balmuth immediately used his skill [Fire breath]. Breathing fire in Joan’s direction while Joan was heading his way.

[Fire breath]–a skill of breathing fire to the enemy. The fire was able to make the metal melt upon its heat.

Joan was up in the air and saw that his enemy was getting serious this time; and so was him. He used his elemental control to split the fire into half but it was so difficult to maintain. The fire breath was split into two as Joan pierced it with his elemental control. It was like a force that was hindering his attack to penetrate Joan’s presence.

Joan dived some more and he used all his willpower to make the fire to be swayed beside him. Still, its heat was enough to burn his clothes in the process. He was still near the heat source that made the tip of his clothes helplessly burned.

Joan shouted with all he got to divert the fire and all was at stake. If he failed to do it, he will be burned alive.

“Haaaaaaaa!!!” Joan shouted with all he got. Penetrating his fire breath with his elemental control.
