Grandmaster Of All Job Class

Chapter 98 - The Order



They entered the passage towards where the meeting will be held. The walls were painted in black and the mood was gloomy. Torches were what lighted up the place and so they travelled with ease. Not worrying about tripping at all.

Upon Joan's first impression, they could have budgeted greater lightings on the entrance. It felt spooky on his part. Such Order of Prophets was very secretive when it comes to their meeting. Even more so, it was situated in a populous place like a school. But then again, it could be one of the most guarded places in the kingdom as it housed the headquarters of such Order. He couldn't imagine that it would be low guarded, thinking about the slyness of their current enemies will only lead to death.

Tik! Tak! Tik! Tak!

Isaias' staff sounded and echoed in the hallway. Making their travel to such a location, unseemingly lively.. They could hear their breaths while walking. Joan on the contrary was hearing his heart thumping. He was excited while being nervous a bit. He couldn't imagine what faces will he see nor their behaviour will be in him.

What could be their reactions to him when they knew that he was the last Child of Hope. Or could he even spill the beans towards them? Joan can only gulp his saliva on the process. They were walking for some time and so they appear to exit the hallway.

Upon Joan's surprise, he saw an elevated seat from afar that has few tables. He can also saw some more elevated seats behind the said seat on the front. In his mind, it was like a trial hall for judging somebody. Joan hoped not to be put in such a predicament and so he just didn't mind the place.

Upon arriving on the trial hall, they turned left and there was a black door that Isaias touched. It glowed and to Joan's surprise, it opened.

"Come with me, hurry," Isaias ushered him.

They entered the door and the door closed behind their backs. In that room, there were lights up ahead and it was dim. Making them see difficulty at first but immediately saw a round table that has persons seating on their perspective chairs.

The light was up above them but its radius was only on the round table. Making their faces not to be revealed yet.

"Come, Joan, follow me," He said to Joan who soon followed him after.

"Who is that kid? How does a kid manage to enter here? Call the guards immediately! Our secrecy is at stake! Jail him and... Oh! Isaias? Care to explain?" Said the voice in the dark.

"I should have told you beforehand. I am sorry but that Child there that you wanted to jail is the Child of Hope," Isaias said then pointed his staff at him.

"The child of hope? One came out alive from the wrath of the Demon God? We should protect him at all costs! He is the only one who can uproot the seeds of evil. The only one! We haven't uprooted the seeds of evil for a thousand years, we tried but failed! Now with the prophecy child alive, the forces of evil are on the move too!" Said another old voice coming from one of the seats.

"We should celebrate Isaias! At last, your journey to find the Child of Hope is a success. But our celebration has to be put to a halt. The Demon Lords are coming! They will be unleashing their brothers and soon will spread more seeds of evil! We should stop them!" Another old voice said.

Isaias coughed a bit and called their attention.

"Ahem, everyone, do not panic. We haven't officially started the meeting yet," He said to them. Immediately, they all fell silent for a moment.

Isaias then seated at his chair and when Joan counted them, they were all six in numbers. Making an equal ratio to six Demon Lords. He can also assume that they were the ones responsible for the peace that this world has attained by sealing the Demon Lords. Just as he was looking at them, he felt out of place. They were all high ranking officials after all.

"So let us start the meeting, I will lead this meeting and I hope you will all cooperate. The Demon Lords are on the way to unseal their brothers. As we are talking here, they are now on their way. According to the info of the Angel of Wisdom, they have a way to make the heroes slumber even though the Demon Lords has been unsealed. We should prioritize waking them up first. We can't fight the Demon Lords with just our powers. We need them after all," The supposed Leader said to them.

Isaias raised his right hand then coughed.

"We have awakened the heroes of the corruption tomb. And they are on their way to track down the Demon Lords. Though we should also awaken the Affliction heroes, they still slumbered up until now. I suggest that we attack them full force when we awakened the heroes first," Isaias said to them.

Just as Joan was looking at them, he was just silent for a moment. He didn't feel the need to speak any moment. While he was looking at the surroundings, he used his Lycan's [Beast aura] white. His eyes became of a wolf and saw everything in the dark. Even the darkness was not his problem anymore.

He saw the faces of each one of them. He observed some more and etched their faces. To his surprise, they were all old persons that have white to ashen hairs. Similar to Isaias' aura that has mane to stroke at.

"I will travel to the Affliction tomb to awaken the affliction tomb's heroes. But I am worried that no one will stop the Demon Lords from their awakening. We have to assemble the Holy Knight Order and the Order of Paladins. Maybe the King will also help us if we can convince him." Isaias said to them.

"We will go to the King to request aide. But we shouldn't expect much from him. He was unpredictable and an odd one. He tried to abolish the Order of Prophets once thinking that we are not needed anymore. But we averted it as we heard that the Child of Prophecy has come. We agreed and promised that we will expand his realms if we uproot the seeds of evil." Said the other prophet.

"That kind of King is greedy. Thinking of expanding his realm first before the danger of our extinction. We are doomed if the Demon Lords are unleashed. But he is mobilizing some of his force in the dark lands but only ending in his forces getting slaughtered. That was maybe he was hesitant, but now, we have the Child of Hope. He can make his Kingdom expand by reclaiming what once was ours," Said one of the Prophets.

"So that concludes our meeting. We will execute our plan as soon as possible." Said the other one.

"So our Child of Hope will be safe at all times. We must protect him as he has an important role. He was the last Child of Hope, after all, he must not engage in any combat and has to be hidden here in headquarters." Said the other Prophet.

Joan was dumbstruck, his face was like a crumpled paper that has sipped several lemon slices.

"Um, excuse my rudeness but Joan here is a beginner of all job class. He can perform sometimes adept ones or master skills. It was a matter of Mana realm incompatibility and bodily limits. But I assure you he is on the rank of Master now, if not for his mana realm problem." Isaias said to them.

"Pfft! A what of all job class? Are you joking Isaias? Have you lost your mind? Even in our thousand years of life, we haven't seen one. And a person couldn't have two job classes. How much more all? Our bodies have imprints of one Job class and once you have the imprint, other job classes are rejected by your body." He said to Isaias.

Joan then patted Isaias' shoulders and stared at him with serious eyes. Shaking his head in disapproval of his action.

"Don't tell them something about that again okay? Especially when it comes to my secret," Joan whispered to his ears.

"I am sorry Joan, my pride won't let me make them belittle your greatness. But as you have said, I will let it slide. We should go to adventurer guild after this and accompany me to the tomb of affliction okay?" Isaias said to him. Patting his back.
