The Geared Immortal

War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 33

…

The male demon sacrificed himself just to let the others escape the dangerous predicament his team was in.

As one of his arms was torn from his body, he howled in pain as his sharp canine teeth slowly emerge and his face deformed as he transformed.

With all his might, he scratches the face of the beast that is pinning him down.

The male demon is actually a humanoid tyrant bull, with a big physique and three long horns.

"Do you think you can kill me? We will die together you bastards!" he shouted in a demon language.

Suddenly, the giant snake hissed loudly which stopped the giant salamander from devouring the demon who has already completely transformed.

One of the giant snakes slithers near the demon and then looks at him from above.

A slight sneer appears on the giant snake's mouth.

"A demon traitor trying to live with the enemy… This is very funny… Do you think these people will fully accept your kind?" the snake suddenly said.

The demon stopped moving as he glared at the giant snake.

"You… you are a Shadow Being… No! a Shadow Being possessed snake… Hahaha… What lowly beings. You cannot fight against us in your true forms so now you guys who are left trapped in here could only survive by trying to possess weak bodies…" the demon snorted.

"Hehe… So what?! At the end of the day, we will still be able to destroy this world and after that create the right portal to the divine world…" the giant snake sneered as he drew closer to the demon.

"But you cannot destroy this world… Hahaha…"

When the snake heard this, it suddenly stopped and showed a deep frown.

There is a reality that the Shadow Being could not accept at this time. And that reality is that no matter how they struggle, they would not be able to escape the cycle of this universe, the cycle of death.

But the thing that they could not accept the most is that they are unable to enter the divine world unlike those that sided with the light.

And because of this, they did not want to accept such a reality that they are trying to do everything they can just to be able to enter the divine world.

"The Asuras and those that live in the dark world are already at peace with this… We demons have also realized this… So why can't you?" the demon said with a mocking expression.

"Shut up!" it shouted and suddenly opened its huge maw and bit off the head of that demon.

It then proceeds to devour the demon while showing anger on its face.

"So you are a Shadow Being…" suddenly a calm voice interrupted its angry musing.

The two giant snakes and the salamanders turn their attention towards the top of a tree where that voice came from.

Sitting calmly at the top is a figure. If that man did not say anything they would not have felt his presence.

Even after using their spiritual sense, the giant snakes could not even detect that man. And because of that, they all felt a bit apprehensive of his presence.

"Who are you?" asked the giant snake in a deep voice.

"Me… Well, you can say that I am just a passerby…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

As Shin Jiao, he has some kind of relationship with the Shadow Beings. The reason for this is because… he has learned one of their main attribute, dark energy manipulation.

Though right now, that skill could be considered a low-tier skill when compared to the technique and the use of Ki, he still considered it as something useful in case he fights against a Shadow Being.

When scanning Xin Ja's body, the giant snake sneered in mockery after determining that the man is just a mere F-rank awakened.

"An ant dares to mock us… Hehe… Though you are not…" but then the giant snake stopped talking as its eyes glowed in realization.

But then before it could say anything, it saw a flicker of light and then the head of its companion has suddenly been severed.

Then Xin Ja proceeds with fighting against the salamanders which proves to be a bit of a hassle as they struggle to smash, bite, or claw at him.

20 minutes later…

Xin Ja stood calmly with blood all over his body as he showed a faint smile on his face.

These beasts are all D and C in ranks. Plus with their physique, it would be hard for Xin Ja to easily defeat them in battle. Though he is able to kill the C-Rank snake in one shot because of the sneak attack, the rest are able to fight back.

After the salamanders lay dead on the ground, the remaining snake which has wounds all over its body is the only one remaining.

"Who the hell are you?!" it said in a low voice.

But one could see the fear in its eyes.

"Me… As I said a while ago, I'm just a passerby…" Xin Ja said as he takes a step forward.

"No, you are not… How are you able to converse with us in our language?" the giant snake asked.

"You mean the language of the Shadow Beings? Hehe… That is my secret." After saying that, Xin Ja severed its gigantic head with a wind blade.

Then without hesitation, he activated his siphon skill and absorbed the dark energies from their bodies along with the Ki energy.

He kept the bodies of the beast inside the black pearl in his ring and then picks the plant that was able to absorb the energy he had used while cultivating.

He knew that such a plant is special as not every plant could absorb the chaotic Ki as much as it has.

As his figure left the area, another group arrived, and this group is composed of pure demons.

They did not wear robes but instead animal skins but they are all wielding basic CAW weapons in their hands.

"We… We lost the signal…" the demon holding the crystal detector muttered with a deep frown.

Their leader who looks like a draconian suddenly walked forwards and then stopped at where the plant was supposed to be.

"I think it has been in this place not too long ago… Someone beat us to it!" he said with an angry expression.

"Boss… I detect a few beings in that direction." A demon that looked like a mole said while touching the ground and pointing in the direction of the team that was fighting against the giant snakes and the salamander and escaped.

"Follow them!" their leader shouted in anger.

Soon, the group dashed in the direction of the group.

…

Meanwhile, Xin Ja frowned and stopped on his track as he noticed that another group of demons have arrived and is actually chasing after the wounded group.

"They seem to be hunting for that flower, right?" he thought.

"Would that be my fault if those people got into an accident?" he thought but shakes his head in helplessness.

"They are weak and yet they…" Xin Ja suddenly stopped as he noticed another group coming in the direction of those that are escaping.

"These people are stronger…" he muttered.

The reason for this is that he could sense that there is actually a B-rank in that group.

In his curiosity, he decided to follow, and after reaching about a kilometer away from that group, he could now finally see them in this Absolute Sense.

He was shocked to see two Goliath Suits and MCAWs in the hands of these people that do not look like soldiers.

He knew that the spread of the CAW technology could not be stopped, but the Goliath Suits is another thing. Unless people discover ways how to manipulate metal or create a precision machine, then creating a Goliath Suit would not be that easy.

He is now curious about what really happened these past 5 years that he was in seclusion.

"They even have exoskeletons…" he muttered while shaking his head.

In his conjecture, these three groups would surely have a big fight after seeing each other.

While following, Xin Ja has a sense of interest in what would happen next.

Ever since seeing the humans and the demons working together, he could not help but be curious if the same thing is happening to the rest of the demons and humans.

Now that he saw two groups of pure humans and pure demons in their group, he wanted to know their reactions when meeting their counterparts.

Xin Ja's figure flickered and arrived at the top of a tree where he calculated these people would be meeting each other.

Below him, he could see the figure group resting while being vigilant in their surroundings.

He carefully takes out fruit from his inventory space and bit on it while watching the scene below.

He was a bit curious as the demons are actually healing the humans while using Ki. It was really something that he did not expect to see.

"So these things can also manipulate Ki the way we do…" he muttered as he watches with interest.
