The Geared Immortal

Chapter 672

(Unedited)

…

The light in the sky is already dimming when the young person's eyes slowly flutter. He was awoken by a strange sensation from his body. However, upon waking up, he suddenly discovers that his body feels stiff. His mouth is covered by an odorless material, and only his eyes are exposed. He also feels that his stomach is exposed and a part of his arms.

Though he could move his hands, he is unable to do anything other than that. The rest of his body is being held by a strong material.

Suddenly he noticed a young man sitting on the side that suddenly turns towards him.

"You're awake… This is good. Well, before we proceed, I want to tell you a story…" the young man said.

Kevin Gart suddenly remembers who that person is. It's the guy he wanted to punish, the guy he wanted to suffer because of the humiliation he has caused him. Because of his pride, he wanted to make that man drink the pill to make him suffer under the weight of the immortal world.

But who would have expected that he would fall in the hands of that guy?

He could not talk. He could not say anything and could just produce muffled sounds. He could not even bite his tongue or make kill himself. Judging from his condition right now, he could already foresee what this guy is about to do.

He heard the rumors from the villagers, he has investigated it. And this is the same situation, and this situation is now making him feel cold sweats covering his forehead.

"In my world their story of a place called Calvary. A place where souls are being taken to be punished for their sins. However, I discover that such a place seem to not exist in this immortal land. Hence I plan to recreate such a place. I will let you experience Calvary for a night. Let's see if you would dare hunt me again. I didn't know how I offended you, but no matter what your reason is, I will not accept it. I live my own simple life… I do not offend those who do not offend me. However, I still abide by the rules… Since you wanted me to suffer a fate worse than death, then don't blame me for letting you experience it first." After Shin Jiao spoke those words he suddenly walked behind Kevin Gart and disappears.

Kevin's eyes went wide in panic as he saw his surroundings becoming dimmer. Without the strength to move or fight, he just stood there waiting. Waiting for that horrible feeling in his heart, that dreadful experience he has heard that his brother has experienced.

"No… No… let me go! I will kill you! I will kill you! Let me go now!" shouted Kevin Gart in his mouth, but only a low and muffled sound could be heard.

Suddenly a pair of glowing fierce eyes appears on his sight and his heart went thump.

The next day…

Shin Jiao has gotten his hands on a bountiful harvest of energy cores. He has hidden inside a tree he hollowed and uses the black sludge as a covering. He already knew that the black sludge acts as a covering to prevent those shadow creatures from discovering his presence.

In fact, the black sludge is a plant he accidentally discovered while he was staying in the Pheasant village. It is a rare 2-meters tall plant. In the middle of the flower, there are black liquid inside a circular thin transparent orb.

Shin Jiao uses his gloves to manually analyze the substance and was astounded. He then began experimenting on it and discovers its wonderful yet terrifying effect.

He then saw the figure of the young man who was chasing after him yesterday. It seems that he has awoken already.

Last night he saw him fainting due to the fear and pain.

"Hehe… so how was it? Painful, right? This is what you call suffering. If you don't want to suffer, don't just casually do bad things to others… Don't worry though, your friends would rescue you soon enough. How soon, well, that would depend on their skill." Shin Jiao said as he soon walked away.

Desperation could be seen in Kevin Gart's eyes along with anger and desire for revenge. He didn't want to suffer this humiliation and not take his vengeance into his heart. He swore to give this pain back multiple times over.

He still did not realize that it was he who causes this pain towards himself. But people are like that, especially powerful ones and those who have experienced dominating others.

However, Shin Jiao did not care about that guy. He needed to return to his temporary base. He took another route although it is a bit long, he knew that he would not encounter those two people who, he lost in the forest.

And soon, he arrives near the place where he left his bag. This time he observes his surroundings and saw that his bag is not there anymore.

"Well, I guess they took it…" he sighs as he just moves away from his spot.

Shin Jiao once again gathers food, this time he was a bit careful. And after gathering enough edible food, he went back to his temporary base.

Upon entering the underground room, Shin Jiao took out his haul. From that person, he is able to get a piece of silvery armor, a sharp sword, and a small pouch.

He didn't know what is inside the pouch, but it seems empty.

"Is this a dimensional pouch in this place?" Shin Jiao muttered as he first checked the pouch as he was a bit interested in it.

If it is truly a dimensional pouch, then it could be of great use to him.

But no matter how hard he tries to figure out the pouch he could not see how it works. Hence he just put it aside and checked the armor and the sword. This time, his eyes glowed in excitement. This is because the silvery armor and the sword have a very familiar material that is combined with them, the black rock.

That same material that the scientist on earth found. And in which he helped discover its uses. That same material in which, most of his most powerful gears, inside his ring, are made of.

"Haha… this is great… with these materials I can create my weapons again." Shin Jiao muttered as he began to busy himself.

…

Meanwhile in the town, a young man wearing a white robe that flutters with the wind while sitting in a meditative position suddenly opens his eyes. Then his eyes suddenly shifted towards the multiple hanging wooden tablets on a wall.

His eyes particularly saw one wooden tablet suddenly crumbling.

"How is that possible?" he muttered as he stood up and walked towards the crumbling wooden tablet.

He lifted his eyes and shifted his gaze to the door.

"Someone, come in…" he called.

Then a second later, a tall and beautiful young woman walks towards him.

"You've called pavilion master." She greeted while cupping her hands and bowing.

"Convey a meeting, someone destroyed one of our silver armor. I want all the clan silver protectors to be present." He said in a cold tone.

"Yes Master, as you wish…" she said as she hurriedly walks out of the room.

As he was left inside the room, his eyes darted towards the side where a few broken wooden tablets are piled up.

"For millions of years, not many are able to destroy a silver armor. And this is only the fifth one. If a very strong beast has entered the immortal land, then I guess I and the other clan head should act… But… I feel that there is something wrong." He muttered while watching the crumbling wooden tablet.

This is because the wooden tablet is actually slowly turning into dust. Unlike the rest of the four broken wooden tablets which are either cut in half or destroyed into 3 to five pieces, this one is broken in a different way. And this made the man feel that there is a very dangerous creature that has entered their lands.

As he looks at the horizon his eyes squint as if trying to see where that damaged silver armor is and what kind of creature is able to destroy the almost indestructible armor.

…

While this is happening, Shin Jiao has already finished separating the materials used to craft the armor. Right now on the ground in front of him, there are five types of metallic items. In fact, he had a hard time separating them and it took him almost the whole day before finishing his work.

And until now, he still has not separated and refined those items properly. Although he is able to extract the black ore, yet the rest of the materials are still intact in the now crumpled silver armor.

"Whew… these other four are unknown materials to me. They seem to be very sturdy. I guess this armor is just as indestructible as the black stone." He muttered then suddenly thought of the giant turtle's battle against those silver and golden armored guys.

"Eh… how come when some of those guys died, their armor was also gone? Was it destroyed?"

Although he was a bit curious, Shin Jiao knew that he could not have the answer for now. And so he decided to continue his work.

He didn't know that what he just did destroy the imprint of Kevin Gart to the armor. And once Kevin Gart died in the forest, that armor and blade would disappear and would wait for his resurrection after 3 days.

And now, the imprint on the armor was destroyed hence Kevin Gart's hold on it is also gone.

Shin Jiao did not waste any more time and just refined the sword next.

And while he is doing that, the three silver protectors with Kevin Gart did not have any more choice but to return to the town and ask for assistance as they just lost Kevin Gart and the rogue peasant.

"We should have just returned to the village and wait for 3 days. I know that the peasant would be in there after Kevin Gart tortured him… Haha…" the young man atop a black mount said.

The two beside him did not say anything as they are deep in their own thoughts.. Seeing no response to his companions, the young man did not say anything anymore as they just enter the town's gate.
