Joan's duplicate 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.

Joan's duplicate 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.

To his surprise, he still has the wooden sword that Joan grabbed in the pit. 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.

"Hey, Isaias! Help me here! Don't you dare hide!" The duplicate screamed.

Immediately, Isaias jumped from the driver's seat. Jumping up high and was energetic enough to exert much effort. Dropping on the ground feet first and then caressed his hair upwards while standing.

"Cool! Now let's do this!" Joan's duplicate screamed. Standing side by side, covering their backs and was prepared to go all out.

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 Joan's duplicate and Isaias feel slight worry. While the two of them were surrounded, they thought of doing the same too. Joan used his Mage's skill [Telepath]. Talking to Isaias' head and communicate with each other.

All the enemies attacked from all directions. Making the two of them backed into the corner. Surrounded and was at their weakest.

The duplicate 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.

'They are moving synchronously. You have to be careful Joan! Do not underestimate goblins as they are the most skilled in synchronisation. Just buy time before Joan can help us. Seriously, he is taking it too long to get out there,' Isaias spoke to him in his mind.

'Okay, I will buy time!' The duplicate replied.

The duplicate 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. Isaias screamed in Duplicate's mind to warn him of the enemy that was attacking his back. Making the Duplicate to block them in split second. Isaias then rotated his staff to repel Duplicate's attackers.

'Nice assist!' Duplicate screamed.

The two of them started to be in sync. Making them block and repel in succession.

Duplicate then used his Fighter 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. Isaias then rotated his staff as an arrow started to fly in their direction.

"Arrows Joan duplicate! They are firing arrows!" Isaias screamed. Loud enough for him to be heard.

With him hearing it, an arrow flew past his face. Slitting his cheek and blood dripped.

He didn't notice it as he rotated when he kicked one.

Joan can only be disgusted by their cunning nature. Making him want to transform into a werewolf and rip them apart. 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.

Duplicate swatted arrows that flew in his direction. Isaias too was having a hard time as he rotated his staff. Thanks to Joan's [Minor heal], his back pains were cured and his youthly energy was brimming and was gushing out.

Making him contribute greatly to their situation. If not for the mana problem of Joan, things will get easier for them to take.

While things get awry, everyone was fighting for their lives. Priscilla was approached by a goblin but she punched it with her hooves. Others were hesitating on approaching her and their target was the armed humans. They can kill the horse easily if the two humans will be killed. Making her a great meal and the chickens too.

Thinking about it, they attacked again in the second round. Joan 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, Joan can only bit his tongue in the process.

He devised a plan to make use of the enemy's tactics against them. He wondered if he needed to use the [Shadow clones] for such numbers. Moreover, he didn't have the mana to use it. He can either make one but durable or many but fragile. But still, no mana so it's no use.

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.

If he took a stab, Joan the original will suffer the same damage. Whereas, if the original will suffer damage, he will not get it.

It means that he was disadvantaged with what was happening. Thinking of the original's 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.

"Isaias, what should we do? I didn't have mana yet," Duplicate said worriedly.

"Just a bit, I can feel Joan's pulse rise," Isaias 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.

"Joan!" Duplicate and Isaias 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!" Joan 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.
