The Geared Immortal

Chapter 697

(Unedited)

…

A huge mushroom could be seen from the horizon sending chills to those who have seen it from afar. The fighters who witness this all knew that there was a great battle that just happened in that area. However, for the denizens living on this planet, they are all excited to check the territory where the powerful explosion happened.

And soon a number of shadow beings and some creatures began moving towards the volcanic zone.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and the group with him are all covered in dirt and their bodies are riddled with wounds as they barely survived the devastation.

Shin Jiao at that time when fighting against the demonized Le'as used his last bullet and discovered that the bullet could not absorb the demon's entire energy. The four uses the same technique, but Vitina, Fushang, and Vlad gave up halfway because they could not absorb any more energy.

Hence they decided to run away as the chaotic energy began rising and the huge explosion happened.

The four were lucky enough to have gained some distance, if not, they are sure that they would have died due to the power of that chaotic explosion.

"Is everyone okay?" Yena Hill asked as she was the first to get out from the rubbles.

The rest got up from the ground and shrug off the large trees and rubbles which almost toppled over them.

As she saw that her team was fine, she also noticed Fushang Xu's team which has also recovered.

When her eyes scanned the surrounding forest and desert area, she was suddenly stunned. Not too far from them, a huge pillar of dark smoke rises through the air and extreme heat is covering the whole place.

She could even feel the heat from where she stands which is already hundreds of kilometers from the explosion.

Plus the forest area where they are is already a barren land filled with toppled trees and broken rocks.

"Damn it, that was too powerful. If we were a bit late, we could have died… Hahaha…" Vlad said feeling happy that he was able to survive the blast.

Shin Jiao and the rest also chuckled with him as they too feel lucky at this moment.

The two groups once again met each other and discuss cooperation. With their number and strength, they could be sure to enter the next phase of the elimination round.

However, the other group looks at Shin Jiao with a hint of disdain on their faces. This is because they are not aware of what he did, plus the main reason is that all of them are gold armored protector, and he is the only silver armored protector amongst them.

Hence on their travel, he was given a menial task like cooking and being an errand boy. Vitina and her group wanted to say something, but Shin Jiao did not let them.

Keeping a low profile is fine with him. Plus, these people suck at cooking, as a cook; he could gain more ingredients coming from the other group and also could experiment on the ingredients themselves. Hence he did not want to waste this chance to learn more.

On their travels, they would usually meet some groups and fight with them. With Fushang Xu and Yena Hill's strength, the group could easily defeat their opponents and would win the battle.

Not long later, they soon arrive in an oasis. And then they soon found themselves being teleported out of the planet.

Vitina and her group soon discover that they are already standing in the arena. This is the first time that the group has come this far so they didn't know what they should do next.

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, the head judge lifted his hand and stops the discussion amongst the crowd.

"Everyone, we now only have around 30 fighters left, and only 6 of them are at a lower level. The 6 lower level individuals will now do elimination to determine the champion amongst them. And for the higher levels, they would also be doing an elimination round to determine the top ten amongst them."

After that announcement, everyone cheered.

In the meantime, the elven lords, Jul'la, and the unconscious Ming'sel have already been detained. This is because of the demonization of Le'as which was seen by everyone in the audience stand.

A thorough investigation and interrogation would be held amongst the human race and their ally to question the reason for this event.

As the contest continues, Shin Jiao was faced against a high elf, one of the remaining three high elves at his level.

With the rise of his strength, Shin Jiao could even fight against a gold armored protector, so how could a mere 74th level high elf defeat him.

The high elf was forced to use his special weapon, but Shin Jiao already knew how to counter it. Hence that high elf almost lost his mind when the connection between him and his special weapon was interrupted.

But Shin Jiao did not let this happen and immediately knocks out his opponent.

He knew the danger and implication if a high elf would suddenly be demonized in this contest. It would surely start a huge rumor, and then the war would then erupt between races.

Hence he decided to knock out the high elf and with that won the fight.

His next two opponents are high elves but they suffered the same fate as the other one and Shin Jiao also knocks them down and won the championship as a silver armored protector.

Meanwhile, in the higher-level division, without Le'as, Yera Hill easily defeated the other high elves and even defeated the most powerful human fighter and grabs the first place. The other high elves still proved their prowess and took third and fourth place.

This was the first time in history in the city of Ta'al that the human race won the contest and everyone cheered and was very happy. A festive atmosphere could be felt amongst the people and everyone celebrated.

Meanwhile, the high elves could be seen nowhere in the city as they are all taken to the palace and is being interrogated by the higher-ups.

A week has passed since then…

Shin Jiao and his group were about to go back to Vitol town. However, since they have won they have no choice but to stay in the city and attend many celebrations and parties held for them by the high lords and even saint rulers of the city.

At this time, Shin Jiao did not waste his time and is currently inside the main workshop of the craftsmen association.

He is currently discussing something with the head of the association, Jhar 'Mad Joe' Loo. He is a burly man with a thick beard and likes to wear goggles. From his height and features, Shin Jiao noticed that the man might be half-dwarf.

Unlike most human and demi-human races which maintain their youth. Other races like dwarves still age like normal. Unless they reach the highest level and became a deity, they would show their age on their appearances. However, it would not affect their inner physique.

So, even though, some of them might look old, they are still strong and robust.

Jhar Loo is a very rough man who didn't like to mince his words and is very frank.

Right now, he is currently discussing with Shin Jiao how the high elven weapon works. Amongst them are many other craftsmen who were assigned to this task by the saint rulers. They have already known that those morphing weapons are the cause of why the high elves were able to win against most human fighters.

Those weapons are sneaky and dangerous. However, what the saint rulers don't like is the connection of those weapons to the demons and shadows. Hence they want the craftsmen association to be able to create one without the danger of demonization.

Jhar Loo has already acknowledged Shin Jiao's foresight after working with him for a few days now. And this is the reason why he is currently discussing with him a very important aspect of the weapon, the connection of it to the user.

The group has already determined the reason for its morphing ability. This is because, in Yasper town, they are already able to make weapons that can change shapes.

And their last concern is the control ability. They have used domain, but it could not affect the weapon due to the material used on it which is somewhat resistant to domain control.

However, Shin Jiao on the other hand could already control these weapons as he already determined the key. But he could not say it, as he is the only one who seems to have it amongst the people in the workshop. And that is his unique psychokinesis which is somewhat different than normal psychokinesis.

As so, the discussion took them around two days before they could determine what to do next.

However, this technique which was suggested by Shin Jiao is limited. This is because, in the immortal land, the spiritual sense is being restricted. And if ever they are able to use it, they could only extend it at around 3 to 5 meters away from their body.

But this is already enough for Shin Jiao's plan.

Using strings of rune commands, the group was able to create an extension of one's spiritual sense towards the weapon.

And before Shin Jiao and the people from Vitol town left Ta'al city, they have already successfully accomplished their goal.

However, in spite of the celebration, a looming danger is currently brewing on the horizon.

With the discovery of the high elves' connection to the demons, the main clans of the human race have already prepared themselves for a possible attack from the high elves that have shown them no harm but is keeping a deep secret.

On the other hand, the high elves are also gearing for war after receiving the report that this year's supposed harvest of materials was hindered by the humans because of their affiliation with the demons.

In the high elven imperial capital of the city of Su'al Nu, a majestic and beautiful palace stood in the middle. The Palace is surrounded by strong universal energy fluctuations which added to its radiance and beauty.

Inside a large hall, a high elven male stood majestic while looking outside a palace window when a soldier donned in silver armor step inside and suddenly kneel on one knee. The emperor of the high elven race stood calmly when he noticed the soldier.

"Your majesty… the human female is here…" the soldier said.

Hearing the soldier's words, the emperor just nodded his head.

Then with a gesture, a human female was suddenly dragged inside the hall wearing thick black chains on her neck and both her arms and feet.. However, the expression of the woman sent chills down the spine of everyone in the room.
