The Geared Immortal

Chapter 758

…

Olivia looks at the people surrounding her while being on guard with the killing intent being sent to her by the dust-covered woman within the group. She did not know why the woman has a strong killing intent towards her, but she could also feel the others looking at her indifferently.

Ji Ha-jun suddenly walks to the group after defeating the giant mantis.

"You're an elf… Are you the only one in this dungeon? Have you seen others?" he asked as he approaches Olivia.

Luna has suddenly regained her composure as she thought that Si Ji is still in the dungeon.

"Hey… Elf… have you seen a human entering this dungeon?" she asked with an annoyed tone.

Hearing her rude tone and words, Olivia was immediately angered. She wanted to lash out her long-suppressed feelings, but upon realizing that she is surrounded by humans, she quelled her anger and showed a faint smile on her face.

"Ye… Yes… There is a very strong young human who has been helping me a while ago. But his target is the fifth floor where this dungeon's boss is. But I was not able to go with him as I… I found myself passing out. When I woke up he is already gone, and I... I decided to escape from the lower levels... That was... 2 days ago… and I haven't seen him ever since…" Olivia explained.

Hearing her words, everyone showed a worried expression. They did not expect that Si Ji would go deeper into the dungeon and would hunt the dungeon master by himself.

"Hey, tell me how strong are the monsters in the lower levels?…" Ji Koon suddenly asked the question that many wanted to ask.

"As you go to the lower floors, the monsters also become stronger. There are many lord-level monsters on the fifth floor. It is a maze down there and very dangerous." Olivia said with a slightly trembling voice.

"I… I don't want to die and be captured by the dungeon boss again… that... that vampire is very strong and would not easily die." She added as she hugs herself upon remembering the horror she experienced on the lower floors.

Olivia started to explain to them what had happened to her group when they were captured in the dungeon. As she explained, those listening to her showed fearful expressions on their faces. They now would not dare venture inside blindly after hearing that.

While the people are discussing what to do next, Ji Ha-jun heaves a deep sigh. He is the only lord-level fighter in the group. Plus, if what this elven woman is saying is true, then, their group would be in danger. So he decided to go out first and send a message to the town to send some reinforcements.

The danger of facing a lord-level demon is very risky. They might be captured and experience the same cruel fate as those high elves.

They need to create a plan and ask for help. They now know that the dungeon is very dangerous, but once they got rid of the demon vampire lord, then it would be a good ground to train many of their elites.

He would not waste this opportunity and location. So he looks at the group and then said to them.

"Guys… we can't blindly go there without any backup plan. I suggest we go outside and ask for reinforcement from the town. We can request at least 5 lords to help with exterminating this demon." Ji Ha-jun suggested.

Hearing his words, the rest of the group nodded their heads, but Luna frowns. She was really concerned now about Si Ji's condition. She did not know why, but she feels a strong attachment to that person like he is his long-lost brother although they just met a few days ago.

She is like an older sister being over concerned about her younger brother. She wanted to oppose the suggestion, but then before everyone could decide on what to do next, they suddenly heard another set of footsteps coming from the location where the elven woman came from a while ago.

"Someone or something is approaching…" Ji Koon said as he readied his weapon.

The rest also followed as they are already aware of the danger. Ji Ha-jun also takes out a scroll and began chanting. A bright light suddenly surrounded the group as everyone feel a strong protective barrier was suddenly erected.

As the footsteps drew closer, everyone's heart also beats faster. Meanwhile, Olivia is already hiding in the corner with her shaking body.

"I knew it… I knew that he could not defeat that monster… I'm going to be captured again… no… no… I must escape… I must escape…" she muttered but no one pay mind to her.

Suddenly, the expression of Luna changes. As someone who is proficient in array formations, she could feel something changing in the surroundings.

Then her eyes lit up.

"The illusion array was removed…" she muttered as she noticed that one of the array traces suddenly vanished from the walls and the ground

When the people heard this, they all look at their surroundings and discovered that the blue flames on the torches seem to have turned yellow like a normal flame all of a sudden.

They didn't know what happened, but everyone looks at each other in confusion.

Suddenly, they saw a figure materializing from the shadows as if it appears out of the darkness into the light. When Luna saw that figure, she could not help but smile.

"Ji!" she shouted and then without minding everyone suddenly rushed towards Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao was a bit surprised as he is currently tracing the arrays on the ground as he has already mapped and figured out their patterns. With his ability and knowledge of arrays, he is now able to control them and the dungeon itself.

For two days, he has been on the fifth floor and was killing high-level monsters.

He has been consolidating his rapid growth and new strength and has already been successful in controlling his body and power. Inside his ring, he has gained more materials and also has seen many precious crystals and stones in the lower levels but decided not to take them.

He decided to go up and get the rest of the group to gather those things as he would manipulate the dungeon to make it safer for the group to enter.

"Hey, Luna… how? Oh, you guys are here… this is perfect. We should call the material gathering team to begin harvesting our spoils…" Shin Jiao said with a smile.

"You look like you just came out from the ground… Haha…" he said after looking at Luna's dirt-covered face.

"Humph… I was just digging to save you… you ungrateful bastard…"

"Haha… Okay… Thank you… We have a lot of work ahead of us. I already disposed of the vampire lord, so it's pretty safe below except for some of the lord-level beasts. But I already have a solution for that…" Shin Jiao said.

With his words, everyone showed a stunned expression on their faces. From what the elven woman told them, they already have the idea of how strong the master of the dungeon is. But upon hearing that it died in Master Ji's hands, they were all astonished.

Then suddenly, Shin Jiao's gaze landed on a thin-looking woman with a haggard appearance. When his gaze landed on her, he frowns.

"That's the female elf that escaped from below. She's the baroness, right?" he thought as he realized something.

"I knew that the illusion array has affected my senses…" Shin Jiao thought as the woman now looks different.

When he first saw her, she looks like Susan Tang and Qin Lou… but now after he deactivated some of the arrays, he could now see her true face.

Although she looks malnourished and thin, she is still a high elf, hence her looks are outstanding. But she is not near as beautiful as Susan Tang or Qin Lou.

Shin Jiao walks near Olivia and squatted down.

"Hey… Baroness Olivia… I have already freed the other high elves. It's time for you to return to the Elven Empire…" Shin Jiao said.

Olivia lifted her gaze and upon seeing Shin Jiao her mind suddenly came back to normal.

"You… you're alive… How… how about…"

"He's dead…"

Upon hearing his words, Olivia showed a faint smile and a grateful expression on her face. But then her expression suddenly changes.

"No!... Wait!… That… that vampire demon… He… he is not a normal vampire lord. I… I think he is an immortal demon... That vampire lord Grunak Litra is an immortal demon..."

Upon hearing her words, everyone's attention shifted towards her while they show a horrified look on their faces.

What is the meaning of an immortal turning into a demon? It means forsaking their immortality and becoming one with the shadow beings.

So if they get killed in the immortal land, they would disappear and go back to the void.

However, turning into an immortal demon is different. They have the ability to stay in the immortal land as long as one did not destroy their 'vessel'. Just like immortals and the resurrection stones.

When Luna heard her words, her expression also changes.

Her mind suddenly went blank and disbelief is shown all over her face.

How could she not know of the existence of immortal demons? She has dealt with them before when she was imprisoned in the Elven Kingdom.

Because of her desire for revenge, she saw a shadow that gave her the knowledge on how to craft artifacts that could corrupt the elves as they used them within a prolonged period. Those that are affected by this curse would soon turn into a demon themselves.

Even though it was thousands of years ago she could still remember that dark shadow and that sinister smile. Plus the name of the demon is still clear in her mind.

Before she tricked it and trapped it in an artifact, the demon cursed her and told her that it would surely find a way to get its revenge.

The name of the demon which is at the saint level is… Vandal Litra.
