The Geared Immortal

Chapter 984

(Unedited)

…

The capital city, while the battle is happening

While the battle above ground continues, in a meeting room beneath the city, Shin Jiao and a couple of people are inside sitting while watching the battle.

At this time, King Grav who has an ugly expression on his face could not help but feel hurt and helpless as he saw the suffering of his people and the death of the soldiers.

He looks at Shin Jiao and wanted to say something but then stopped himself as he knew that it is not their responsibility why this is happening in the capital. This happened because of his own weakness as a father.

Sensing the distress in her father's heart, Gwendolyn Grav who is sitting by his side grabs his hand and gently squeezes it.

She too feels hurt by the suffering of the people and the fall of the soldiers outside. But she could not do anything. They are already happy that they could preserve half of the forces in the capital and were given refuge by the Mystique Shop merchant group.

With the power of the shop, no one dares to attack their establishments. Those who are brave enough to challenge them have already met their doom. And their corpses have been turned into minced meat at the side of the road.

But since this merchant group decided to be neutral, they could not do anything to convince them otherwise.

"Father… Will our people be killed?" Gwendolyn asked with concern.

King Grav showed a faint smile on his face and shook his head.

"Only the soldiers of the light will be dealt with by the dark soldiers, this has been the silent rule of this war ever since the beginning." He explained.

"Then… then that means that the soldiers are the only ones dying?" she asked with a hint of sadness.

"Yes… We have sworn to fight the soldiers of darkness, and even in death we will not falter." The proud voice of General Lin Simo said as she looks at the monitor with tears brimming in her eyes.

The other generals are also showing the same reaction. They helplessly watch as the soldiers get killed one by one. Those soldiers have chosen their side and are now living the consequence of their choice. Although they wanted to help yet they are already powerless to do anything at this time.

Plus this is already the plan they have from the beginning, but just did not expect that the dark forces would be this strong and powerful.

Shin Jiao did not say anything and just shifted his gaze at the room where the Im siblings are staying.

Right now, inside that room, a figure is standing in front of the Im Ao and Im Jae as the two showed surprise in their eyes. The two could not help but began crying as they threw themselves in the arms of the person standing in front of them.

That person was their father whom they thought should have already died. But now upon seeing him well and unhurt their hearts felt a bit at ease. They were actually hoping that this would happen when they heard the news that one of their kin survived the war. And upon seeing their father, the two are now happy and contented.

While the family reunion is happening inside that room, and a meeting is being held in the underground secret base of Mystique Shop, a battle is about to happen in the throne room of the palace.

Vorn Grav could not believe that the woman whom he trusted would be sitting on the throne that he coveted the most.

He noticed that her left hand seems to be missing and her beautiful face a bit pale.

He stood up from the ground and walks towards the throne.

"It seems that I have fallen from your machinations… Ahh… Beautiful women are truly the vain and poison of men." Vorn Grav said with a mocking tone.

It seems that he is mocking himself at this point in time while looking at the ground.

"Kill her!" he shouted as the few guards standing by the door drew their swords.

Tamei Ro did not say anything and just looks at the young prince in front of her. She knew that his feelings for her are not real, it was not the thing that she really wanted, but his words made her feel good.

And so she indulged him and the two have a secret relationship and it developed into a partnership.

However, it seems that the happy days are gone now and that partnership is about to end.

"At least I was happy for once…" she muttered in a low tone.

With a lift of her hand, ten black golems suddenly appear surrounding the throne.

Vorn Grav draws his sword and, along with his personal guards, attacks.

Two forces clashed and one guard after another fell to the ground. Meanwhile, the puppets too were incapacitated by the few mages behind the guards.

The clash of swords and spells flying turned the throne room into ruins.

Meanwhile, Vorn Grav struggles to fight against a more unique puppet which was able to subdue most of his guards.

As the two clash swords, he noticed the figure of Tamei Ro becoming worn out by the second.

"Haha… It's my win! You are about to die princess, I think it's time for you to give up! My father is dead, you are dead, no one is going to stop me from taking the crown!" shouted Vorn Grav as he slashed towards the puppet.

However, the puppet dodges to the side and lets its left hand get chopped off. But then, it suddenly turns around at an impossible angle and a small dagger was sent stabbing to the side of the 1st prince.

Caught off guard the prince wanted to dodge, but it was already too late, so he moved his body at the same time tried to parry the dagger. The dagger was shifted to the side and it stabbed the shoulder of the prince.

The prince staggered as he distances himself from the puppet.

Suddenly, a few old men walk to the princess's side.

"Princess, I think we have to escape… We can win if we regroup…" an old man in a black robe said.

"Yes, carry the princess now!" another one chimed in with worry in his tone.

But before the old men could do anything, Prince Vorn Grav laughed loudly.

"Hahaha… Do you think you can escape my clutches? I will kill all of you and that army of yours outside!" He shouted as his face contorted in anger.

He suddenly rushed towards the old men, but the old men just showed sneers on their faces. How could they be afraid of a mere prince?

With a wave of one of the old man's hand strong dark energy gushes out of his hand and hit the charging prince. It threw the body of Vorn Grav to the side.

But it did not deter Vorn Grav as he tumbles in the air and before hitting the wall; his feet are already landed on it.

He landed on the ground without getting hurt and a sneer appears on his face.

Suddenly the late doors of the throne room open. Several armored guards and other princes enter.

"Xuanhui! I'm glad that you have come! That bitch has tried to take the throne from us! We have to stop her at all cost!" Vorn Grab shouted as he walks beside his brother.

With a nod of his head the 2nd prince, Xuahui draws his sword. The two nodded their heads and Vorn Grav charges ahead.

However, he only took two steps before he stopped.

He slowly looks down and he saw a glowing sword protruding out of his chest.

With disbelief in his eyes, he slowly turns to look at his 2nd brother.

"You… How… how dare you…!" Vorn Grav wanted to strike his 2nd brother but he felt his body losing strength as he limps to the ground.

"Hah! Who is the stupid brother now? You all treated me like a fool; don't think that I don't know what you were thinking… You wanted to get rid of me after this war, right? Well, you should go first! Hahaha… Plus, I'm not that crazy to fight the army outside of the palace…" Xuanhui said with a sneer.

He did not bother with his older brother and quickly approaches the throne.

The old men became guarded but then heave a sigh of relief when they saw the 2nd prince kneeling on the ground.

"I am Xuanhui Grav, the 2nd prince of the Xinglo Kingdom. I hereby offer my services to the… Queen!" Xuanhui said as he lowers his head.

Upon seeing this, the expression of Tamei Ro turned into a smile. It seems that what she has dreamed of has come true. Her resentment and bitterness have now been repaid. The king is dead, the soldiers of the light are defeated, and she the princess, the only remaining royal blood of the dark king won.

With a smiling expression, she fainted.
