Joan faced the Demon Lord of Corruption. Together with duplicate who was just waiting for his signal to beat him up to a pulp. As his name implies, he was the Lord of Corruption. It was something that they wanted to look forward to. His power was still a mystery for them and so they were wary about it. Fearing the unknown clouded their minds.

As long as they will be careful enough, they will be left unscathed if fate permits it. Such carelessness was not needed for such situations. Or so they thought.

Upon their front, they saw a robed man with decaying teeth. Smiling at them with a pale face. Troubled to see more as he was carrying a decayed face. Plastered with distorted facial expressions, the two Joans can only smirk hesitantly.. Disgust can be felt deep inside their hearts.

“Let’s do it, Joan! Let’s beat him up!” Duplicate shouted.

“Yeah!” Joan replied.

“Come here, children! Let us dance! Hahaha!” Margoz shouted at them.

Joan and duplicate then dashed with all they’ve got. Evading the obstacles on the way where the dead bodies of their enemies were scattered. Seemingly disintegrating on the process and were absorbed by Joan’s body. Making him collect essences while dashing forth towards the robed man in their front.

The Demon Lord then went to clash with them head-on. Joan let out a straight punch towards Margoz but he blocked it with his hand. Landing a punch on Joan’s chest at the same time.

Feeling the pain, Joan stepped back a bit with a few steps. Duplicate then went to cover him up. Rotating then made a back kick towards Margoz’s face. It landed but he was able to deflect it. Making his kick not very damaging. Making the two, bite down their lower lips in the process.

They haven’t thought that this enemy they faced was able to fight them off even with their Fighter Job class. Something that surprised them was he can land blows on them as well. Even with the two of them as a past Grandmaster, it was very shocking on their part. Not able to digest immediately the truth and it hit them hard.

Still, the two didn’t stop there. They continued their assault and used their Fighter skills.

[Gentle fist]

Joan used his skill head-on and it was blocked by Margoz.

Bang!

It made a shockwave and it sounded like an exploded bomb has blasted. Joan then grabbed his arms and Duplicate used his skill [Axe kick] towards Margoz. Upon seeing Duplicate use the said skill, Margoz went to evade his strike. Still, Joan held him off and so he was left with defending his self with his other hand.

Bang!

He blocked the strike with his hand and his feet were left sunken to the floor. Arms were almost gonna break to the impact.

‘Ngk! Such force from a kid!’ Margoz shouted in his mind.

As Joan was holding him tightly, he grabbed Joan and then with the strength he reserved, he threw Joan towards Duplicate.

Bang!

The two collided with each other and were flung towards the wall. The two felt the collision and they felt the air inside their lungs left them.

“Uhuk!” Joan exhaled.

Joan and duplicate rotated on their flight and landed on the wall with their feet. Able to disperse the momentum of their flight towards their feet.

With them able to land stably, they landed on the floor with finesse. Stretching their backs that went cracking and so they inhaled air. It was very straining to their bodies and so they loosened up a bit.

“He is a capable one,” Joan said to Duplicate.

“Yeah, he sure is.” Duplicate replied.

The two of them then dashed again towards him. Rotating then made a [Roundhouse kick]. While Joan made a flying kick towards him.

They were both blocked with his hands then he pushed them away. Raw power was enough to propel them away. The two was flung to their opposite sides and was rolling to the ground. While rolling, the two pushed themselves up with a flip then landed on the floor. Biting their lower lips, they gritted their teeth afterwards.

Dashing once again, they were hurling the dust. Shouting while they approached them.

Haaaa!!!

They launched themselves towards him and attacked with greater force. Faster speed with heavier punches and kicks. They kicked him and he was moved with every hit. Making a loud body sound with every hit, he was blocking but felt the pain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All were made and hit him on the process. A punch on the face was blocked by his hands but the force was enough to make way towards his face. He made efforts to deflect it but it brushed his skin. Another gentle fist was made in his abdomen but he stopped it with his raw strength. He was then kicked on his back by Duplicate and he was flung towards Joan. Making a hard fist towards his face made a banging sound that reverberated in the surrounding area.

Uhuk!

He gasped air with every blow. It seemed that his two enemies were just playing with him a few moments ago and they were now serious. Thinking about it, his power was Corruption. A very dreadful power that was feared by his enemies. It was a great insult on his part with what his enemy was doing. It reminded him that he was feared as The Lord of Corruption. He smirked then his eyes went red. Roaring on the process that made Joan and Duplicate step back a little.

Making the two think that something was happening. They felt alarmed by what was happening with their enemy. While they saw that their enemy was gathering power, they felt disturbed by what was transpiring in their faces. Red miasma was gushing out on his skin and he was floating.

His miasma was being sucked by the cultist bodies and then they opened their eyes. Albeit being their underlings, their eyes felt like monstrosity was seeping out of them. Devoid of human emotions and were all grinning. Eyes were bloodshot and teeth became fangs and sharp.

They roared like animals and surrounded both Joan and Duplicate. It was then, Margoz laughed at the two.

“Now that my power has gone back. I will make sure to let you taste it first hand! Hahaha!” He grinned and then shouted at his minions to attack them.

While the cultists were revived, they all have wounds in them and some were cut in half. Still, with their limbs cut by Joan duplicate using his Ronin job class, they attacked while being devoid of pain. They were hit left and right but they were all moving like mindless monsters. Making the two smash them with greater force and power but they were obliterated in the process.

Still, they moved towards them mindlessly and were punched and kicked left and right. Making them into disabled monsters with their bodies smashed into pulp. With more beatings, they were all made into limped and helpless humans.

While the two was rejoicing, making high five left and right, it was soon they saw a shadow pounced at Joan. Duplicate saw him and was alarmed but he was a step late on this enemy. Joan was grabbed by the neck and Duplicate was swatted sidewards.

Bang!

He was flung to the wall and was sunk inside it. Only making him exhale deeply with the great force. But what troubled him was Joan was suspended in the air while being choked by this enemy. As he stared some more, it was none other than Margoz–The Lord of Corruption.

“Feel the power of Corruption to sink in through your veins! Hahaha!” He shouted at him.

Joan then saw red miasma creep out his hands and was entering him. Struggling, he felt that his strength faded in the process. Slowly, the miasma then entered inside his neck and was creeping towards his mind. Making him lose his senses in the process. Everything went dark, and so his eyes radiated in red.
