The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1015

(Unedited)

…

The bushes are pushes to the side as the large body of a demon appears from within it. The demon is about 3 meters tall and has a single horn protruding out of its forehead. It looks like a giant orc and has dark red skin.

As it appears in the small clearing it saw a bloody scene where a half-eaten wild beast is lying on the ground and two figures are near it.

The giant demon orc stumped towards the two and suddenly roared behind them.

The two staggered on the ground as they scampered to stand up.

"Rar… rar… rrr… arrrr." The demon orc began saying incomprehensible words which seem to come from its throat.

It's like grunting that sounded like that of a pig.

The two it is trying to talk seem to still be in a daze which made the demon orc feel really angered. It then pointed in a direction.

The two dazed demons seem to look in the direction and quickly ran towards it.

The demon orc's mouth almost fell to the ground as it shook its head in exasperation.

It turns around and left the area then gazes at the half-eaten warthog.

It thought twice and then decided to walk near it. Smelling the thing, it then looks around and then grabs a piece of the animal's leg and tore it out. Then it looks around the area and slowly puts it in its mouth to taste.

The juiciness of the still half warm blood entered its throat making its baser instinct erupt deep within its heart. It then started to devour the piece of meat in its hand. The demon did not stop until only bones were left on the ground.

Satisfied with the meal it just have, it patted its slightly bulging belly and then looks around to see if someone saw it eating.

It then tried to regain its composure and slowly walks back to where it appeared a while ago.

When it was about to reach the bushes, it suddenly found itself a bit dizzy.

Then as if realizing something, its eyes darted on the pile of bones on the side. Suddenly it saw a slightly greenish stain on one of the bones. And this made the demon orc's eyes bulged in realization. It quickly turned its eyes all over the place and tried to find the culprit.

It knew that it was poisoned as its consciousness is slowly fading.

It tried and it tried finding the culprit but it saw no one.

Soon its consciousness slowly darkened and it fell limply on the ground. Its body began to twitch uncontrollably while foam started to come out of its mouth.

After the demon orc lost its life from the poison, another demon appears on the site. The demon nudges the large demon orc and tried to confirm its death.

As if assessing that the giant demon orc is already dead, that demon extended its hand, and then the giant demon orc suddenly vanished from the ground. It was as if it was absorbed by the demon.

The demon looks around and also absorbs the pile of bones on the ground. After checking its surroundings it then left the area.

The demon then walks to the cave entrance and waited for a while. It then saw a small group of demons marching towards the cave entrance and it followed behind the group.

As the group it followed enters, the scene inside the cave came to its view.

The entrance of the cave is wide and spacious. But in that entrance alone there are around 100 demons standing like statues. They seem to be guarding the main entrance of the cave. Their strange auras are like strong killing intent which could drown anyone if they tried to break inside the cave.

Along the passage, there are many demons standing guard on the side.

From this along there are around 200 demons already.

The demon following the group did not wander its eyes and just calmly marches with the rest of the demons scouts.

The group then reached a fork and then turns to the right. Soon they reached the area where there is a vast underground cavern space.  And in that space hundreds of thousands of demons of every kind are standing in line while on the side surrounding them are the demon generals wearing silver and golden armors.

Unlike the silver and golden armors of the immortals in the immortal land, the silver and golden armors of the demons did not have any fine craftsmanship. It is actually a bit crude and simple. But the material used is the same as those that are used by the immortals in the land.

These materials would not be destroyed and even resurrect with the immortal after they died.

It is unknown whether these demons would also be resurrected at this point in time, but it seems that they are preparing for something.

The newly entered group soon reached the back of the line where they began to combine with the large demon army.

From the front of the army, a dark shadow with a dark purple aura slowly appears. And beside it is a demon that looks like a refined young man with gray-colored skin.

The two walk on top of the stage and look at the huge demon army below them.

Meanwhile, among the army, one of the demons slowly lifted its gaze.

This is the same demon that absorbed the demon orc and has infiltrated the demon lair. This demon is Shin Jiao underneath the demon skin.

He crafted this demon's skin to fit on him. When he was almost discovered, he controlled the other demon and acted like they were two foolish peons. Before escaping foolishly, he decided to lure that commander-like large demon orc into eating the remaining boar meat on the side.

He secretly used the poison he got from the mortal land which he cultured into terraforming bacteria.

And after that, he calmly follows the group inside and uses his absolute sense to check the demon lair.

From this, he could tell that the number of demons which has entered the immortal land seemed to be too many to count.

He did not know how they were able to enter, but his goal in this place is to find out what their plan is.

And so he lifted his eyes to look at the two which seem to be the leader of the group. When he saw the two figures, he immediately recognized them as the two in that demon familiar's dream.

"So the man is actually a demon vampire, and its partner seems to be high ranking shadow being which is almost in the deity realm." Shin Jiao thought while observing the two on the stage.

The two began talking about their glorious plan to the demons under them and the group began to grunt and howl in excitement.

Soon, Shin Jiao realized and now understood what they are planning to do. Though it is not the whole plan, he could still deduce from what those two are talking about what they wanted to do and the reason for their invasion.

Of course, they wanted to get their hand on this immortal planet. Not only is this planet filled with many treasures, but it also has vibes of immortality that could only be found in the higher planes.

The shadow beings and the demons have been searching for immortal planets just like this for millions of years. But their searching was futile. But thousands of years ago, they discovered a strange phenomenon within the ranks of the saints and deities fighting in the front lines, they have noticed the elves.

The elves appear to have traces of demonic energy within them. And from that time forth, they started the long and meticulous plan to locate the long-desired immortal planet.

The only purpose of this is so that they could create a shortcut to enter the higher planes.

The two talk about this in the crowd to motivate the demons around them. They wanted the group to have the desire to fight with all their might for the promise of entering the higher planes.

The demons all around the cavern began to howl in excitement.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, followed their howling and acted like one of them.

Suddenly, he saw some of the shadow beings floating in the air as if checking the demon army. He watches curiously and waited for what would happen next.

He watches and suddenly noticed that the demons around him suddenly began to control their auras. Their body slowly began to be covered in a strange demonic aura that looks and feel familiar to him. Suddenly, he recognizes that those auras around him are like the one that he has absorbed in the tomb of Ruel, the darkness essence.

Suddenly, Shin Jiao noticed one of the shadow beings floating in the air looking straight at him. Upon this discovery, Shin Jiao's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

He knew that something is wrong. As the shadow being floated closer towards him, he immediately feels his surroundings being constrained.

"Damn… a saint realm shadow being…" he thought as his heart pounded like crazy.
