The Geared Immortal

Chapter 733 - The Battle At The Stronghold (2)



Chapter 733

(Unedited)

Amidst the chaos of the battle deep within the forest a group of high elves are trying to escape. They saw how the humans and that dragonkin fought against their army and though they have the number, those two high lords are truly terrifying.

And they must relay this message to the higher-ups of the high elven empire.

It seems that the humans were able to procure divine artifacts of their own just like those that the high elves use.

And so, with that in mind, they began escaping according to the instruction of their commanders.

A part of these escaping groups is a group of four elves wearing green cloaks. Their red hair and tan skin are unlike those from the high elves of golden or silver hair and snow-white skin. From one look one could determine that these elves belong to the blood elves clan.

"Captain, look ahead!" shouted one of the blood elves which seem to have detected an enemy from his sharp senses.

Everyone turn their sight to the direction he is pointing.

Though it is covered with shrubs and thick leaves, the blood elves could still feel the aura emanating from that area.

"Is that a demon?" asked one of them as the group stopped and suddenly darted towards the treetops.

The group created an encircling formation as they entrap the enemy carefully.

As they peek within the leaves, they saw something like a weird monster\'s head and a body of a human warrior. When the group saw this they were curious and at the same time cautious.

Suddenly they saw red veins coming out of the mask and suddenly enveloping the human. Then suddenly the human transformed into a demon-like creature.

The group has already seen this kind of transformation. A rare group of elves has been given a rare divine artifact. It\'s called the demon mask.

And this same thing would happen once the demon mask is worn by the user. And now that they are seeing this on a human the group suddenly came to a conclusion that the mask may have been stolen by this human fighter.

And so without hesitation, the captain of the group signaled for them to attack.

The sneak attack would be a diversion as three of them prepare an entrapment spell to bind the human fighter. They know that the human would need some time to acclimatize himself with the armor.

As the sharp blade flew towards Shin Jaio\'s head, he suddenly did a simple sidestep making the blade barely gazing at him.

With the power of the mask he made and the 360 degrees vision, he needs not to use his psychokinesis or absolute sense to dodge this simple attack. Plus the system in the helmet has already given him the optimum dodging pattern according to all of his learned skills.

The side step did not even make him do any effort, which made Shin Jiao a bit amazed.

"This is a bit better, than my previous works… I will call this \'the demon gear\'. Hehe…" Shin Jiao muttered as he waves his right hand and a black katana appears.

Then as if on cue, from within the bushes jumps out a number of tanned skinned elves wearing green cloaks. Their red hair looks like the blood which made their appearance a bit intimidating.

"Blood elves…" Shin Jiao muttered as he suddenly recalled that among the group of elves that attacked the fortress and the town, there are those with tanned skin and red hair.

And from the information he had gathered these elves are called blood elves, one of the allied clans of the high elves.

As the surrounding blood elves attack Shin Jiao, he did not show any sign of fear.

Instead, he suddenly brandished his black katana and quickly made his move.

Clang! Clang! Ting! Ting!

The sound of clashing metal reverberates through the air at the same time energy and spells could be seen flying all over the place.

As Shin Jiao fights the group of blood elves with just raw strength, he slowly adapts to the power and ability of his new suit. While he is enjoying himself in fighting against his enemies, the blood elves felt pressured.

Even after using their elemental Dao powers, they are still unable to subdue and defeat their single opponent. And this made the group broke out in cold sweat. They are not fools, they knew that are being used as a sparring practice by the human.

While the fight is happening, the ground suddenly began shaking making the people feel out of balance. And this includes Shin Jiao who was caught off-guard.

Suddenly, thick vines the size of an arm burst out of the ground and surrounded Shin Jiao\'s figure.

A vine successfully latches itself on one of his feet and suddenly intertwines with it.

Shin Jiao although was taken by surprise, realized that he was too engrossed in fighting that he did not notice a few blood elves above hidden within the trees and chanting some spells.

With a wave of his katana, the vine was easily cut and green plant sap came bursting forth from it. When a part of those plant saps landed on his armor, he saw a corrosive effect that made the exoskeleton emit smoke.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he was a bit alarmed. But when he realized that it has no effect on his armor, he heaves a sigh of relief.

But then he did not have time for that as more tentacles are not grabbing his legs and some are even trying to grab his hands.

But how could he let them? With a wave of his hand, he was able to cut all of the vines around him, and with one leap he escapes the vine\'s encirclement.

As soon as he turns his attention to the trees and the blood elves he immediately noticed that the only presence he could detect at those around him.

Those hiding within the trees could perfectly mask their presence as if they are one with their surroundings.

"Troublesome…" he muttered as he suddenly disappears from his spot.

This time, Shin Jiao decided to end the battle in front of him.

The disappearance of their opponent made every one of the blood elves show fear in their eyes. They knew that with the failure of the capture of their enemy, their opponent will now utilize his true ability.

Arrgghh!!!

Suddenly one of the blood elves shouted in pain as a black katana blade could be seen protruding behind his back.

However, they could not see the shadow standing behind the guy which was pierced.

Then everyone\'s eyes went wide in horror as they noticed that their companion is actually being lifted in the air while the enemy is hiding behind him.

"Attack him!" shouted their captain as he clenched his fist tightly on his weapon.

A barrage of attacks came flying and ripped apart the blood elf that Shin Jiao is using as a shield. Then suddenly a blood fog burst from the corpse in his hand which spreads all over the place.

The blood elves discovered that their opponent has once again disappeared.

Not long after that, another blood elf squealed in pain, and then another, and another. This situation happened until only the captain was left attending.

The corpses around him did not dissipate, and this made the captain feel a bit worried. This is because as part of the elven race, he knew that the human might have used something to capture the souls of his teammates making them stay in the area.

This is the same method they use to capture the souls of those humans and transfer them into those small black boxes. Once this is done, the body will dissipate and after three days, the humans would resurrect and they are already captured and turned into slaves.

Upon thinking about this part, the blood elf captain now wanted to commit suicide. But whether he is fast enough or not, he did not know. But he knew that he is not a match for this human who is able to utilize the demon mask that the high elves created.

As he is thinking to his part, he began to slowly retreat. But soon he suddenly discovers that his opponent is once again gone.

He immediately searched the surroundings but did not find anyone. This made his heart feel a bit afraid.

And so, he became apprehensive in his surroundings while his forehead is covered in sweat.

One second… two seconds… ten seconds… a minute has passed but he could not see a trace of his opponent\'s figure.

Upon thinking up to this point, he suddenly realized something.

But before he could think, he saw his vision suddenly come tumbling through the air, and from his sight, he could see a headless body.

And before he could process anything else, he found himself in a dark space.

Shin Jiao captured all of the blood elves in his surroundings including those hiding within the trees. He has now able to adapt to the new suit and found it really amazing. He could feel his strength increasing by many folds which is truly fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

However, the consumption the suit does in his energy spheres is also terrifying.

"I need to figure out a way to use an energy core to augment the power supply of this suit." He muttered as he gathered the valuables of those fallen blood elves on the ground.

"Haha… My haul for today is not that bad…" he said with a chuckle.

He would later remove the seal on those weapons and armors so that he could study and then sell them to the town.

After doing that, Shin Jiao did not hesitate to go back to the battlefield where intense fighting is still happening.
