The Geared Immortal

Chapter 696

(Unedited)

…

An intense battle is happening in the front, as eight high elves versus five gold armored humans are fighting. But suddenly, the high elves suddenly drew back as they have already noticed that one of them is missing. Meanwhile, the human party has also noticed this, so they did not let the high elves retreat.

Yena Hill's most dangerous trait is her weapon; she called it the morphing blade. It is a very powerful weapon that can change its shape according to her desire. It could be a sword, a spear, a knife, a shield, and even a piece of armor.

Because of this trait, Yena Hill was deemed as one of the most powerful contenders for the title of the top ten strongest fighters. However, she could not enter the top ten because she has encountered misfortune after misfortune, year after year.

And this year should be the same when she once again faces the all-powerful high elves.

But she did not want to give up. She is determined to struggle and become a strong fighter and enter the top ten. If she did so, then she could obtain more resources to strengthen her power and growth.

With that in mind, she suddenly dashed forth and turns her sword into a long spear as she tries to pierce the heart of Le'as. Out of all the high elves, Le'as is the most powerful and is the only one who could pose some threat towards her.

But he has not made his move yet and just let the others face her in combat.

This is very daunting for her as she is being forced back every now and then by two high elves fighting against her.

The teamwork of the high elves is really amazing that even those who have lower power levels could face against a gold armored human.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and his three companions have been watching the fight for a while now and knew that they have already been discovered.

"Let's help them…" suddenly Vitina said but did not wait for the others to agree.

Shin Jiao on the other hand did not go out but instead takes out one of the sharp spears from his ring.

When he did that, Le'as suddenly felt a familiar feeling. Although for a while now his head has been feeling the pain, yet it did not make him faint because the soul connection is still there. And so he suddenly feels a familiar feeling in his mind and shifted his gaze to where the new group of people appears.

But he saw no one.

Before he could think of anything else, he suddenly feels a familiar pain that assaulted his consciousness.

"Arrgghh!" shouted Le'as as he held his head with both of his hands.

Everyone was dumbfounded at this scene. However, it did not take long for Yena to react immediately. At first, she was curious but then she immediately realized that this was a perfect opportunity for her to get rid of the most powerful fighter in the elven group.

The two who are facing her were caught off guard and were immediately wounded by her spear which suddenly turns into a flexible sword.

Then before they could react, she has already dashed towards Le'as and thrust her weapon which then morphed into a long spear.

The spear directly penetrated Le'as stomach which skewered him in the air.

"Damn you, humans! Do you think you can defeat me? Arrgghh!!!" Le'as shouted as he felt pain all over his body.

He wanted to faint but fought back against it. He did not want to lose, he knew that someone from the new group has his special weapon, but he could not concentrate and think about who it was who took them.

Meanwhile, on the side, Shin Jiao has already successfully removed the mark on the weapon. But he frowns as that mark was different from that of the female elf. It was a darker mark that sent shivers down his spine.

Shin Jiao thought that he was facing a very powerful shadow being simply by removing such an insignificant mark on the weapon.

With this in mind, he suddenly looks at the figure being skewered and knew that the high elf is not that simple. He didn't have time to delve into this matter and decided to also enter the fray. He dare not take out the other special weapon and risk consuming his energy further. Plus, he has a bad feeling that if he released the other mark, something really terrifying might happen.

And so, Shin Jiao jumps out of the bush as soon as he caught sight of a high elf with the same power level as his.

Shin Jiao did not hesitate and suddenly pulled his handgun and shot the high elf on his chest. The high elf suddenly felt the danger and subconsciously dodge to the side.

But before he could land on the ground after dodging the first shot, a bullet finds its way towards his forehead blowing his brains out.

The two powerful blasts did not make any significant noise at the already chaotic battlefield. But the high elves have already detected one of them dying and their disadvantage is already noticeable.

Le'as is already skewered and stopped moving so the rest of the high elves did not hesitate but to leave him and escape. Although they are great fighters, the high elves are an intelligent race. They always decide base on their rationality when fighting. And they value the safety of the many rather than the few.

Hence the group did not hesitate to leave those who have already fallen. And so the six remaining high elves left and the battleground was immediately silent.

Yena Hill did not hesitate and suddenly, turn her weapon into a sword and cut the body of Le'as into half before anyone could say anything.

However, as soon as she did that, Le'as suddenly opened his eyes and it was all black.

And the weapon was grabbed by his hand that even with Yena's full strength she is unable to move it.

Then suddenly, in front of everyone's eyes, the face of Le'as suddenly change and became ghastly. His jaws were dislocated and his mouth suddenly became bigger. Then sharp rows of teeth could be seen pushing replacing his normal teeth.

Yena did not hesitate to let go of her weapon and immediately jumps back.

Then the transformation of Le'as body began. His hands suddenly became bigger and his limbs became bulkier. Le'as, who was considered as very handsome previously, now, looks like a huge bulky monster.

"That's a demon!…" suddenly Yena exclaimed.

"A high-level demon…" she added as fear could be seen in her eyes.

Right at this moment, Shin Jiao already knew the reason why he feels that ominous feeling in his heart. However, it still happened even though he has already erased the mark on the weapon and kept the other one.

"I guess it doesn't matter if I erase the other mark…" he thought as he immediately takes out the other sharp spear.

But as soon as did so, Le'as which is now a three meters tall giant demon suddenly turned his dark eyes towards Shin Jiao's position.

Roar!!!

It suddenly roared and pounces towards Shin Jiao without warning.

Feeling the killing intent of the demon, Shin Jiao also did not hesitate to dodge to the side. Meanwhile, Vitina, Fushang, and Vlad jumped to block the path of the demon.

"Let him chase after me! You three follow after… let's head back to our original location…" Shin Jiao said as he runs.

The three were a bit confused but still followed what Shin Jiao wanted to do.

Vitina then shifted her gaze to Yena and her party.

"Heal first and be vigilant those other high elves might have not run too far." She said as she left and chases after the demon.

Yena nodded her head and then shifted her attention to her companions. They did not want to waste time so they immediately take out some healing pills.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao already has a plan in mind for the demon. He could already sense the dense dark energy inside its body. Though its threat seems more powerful than the shadow being they just faced, Shin Jiao knew that his demon is just a mindless bloke and could easily be defeated by them.

So he decided to let it chase after him towards the volcanic area. With the shadow being reigning over that territory, he knew that no other things would enter it for a while and that would be a good place to execute his plan.

While Shin Jiao and his three companions along with demon Le'as left, the high elves who should have escaped have actually stayed and just observe the situation. When they saw that Le'as suddenly morphed into a demon, they all showed fear in their eyes.

Then they all took out a silvery sphere in their hands. These silvery spheres are like the ones that Le'as used to attack Shin Jiao. They all knew that Le'as lost his special weapon, but didn't know who took it. Then at that time, Le'as suddenly had a headache and then now he turns into a mindless demon.

"If these things would turn us into demons… then why did the high lord made us use it?" one of the female high elves in the group asked with concern in her eyes.

"I don't know… But we must not say anything… from now on, we should not use this weapon no matter what." Another female said.

With a nod of their heads, the rest of the high elven warriors decided on this, and then they left the area.

…

Yena and her party soon recovered. It took them about an hour before they could now travel. When they were about to leave and decide to follow where those people from Vitol town went, they suddenly feel the ground shaking.

Then Yena saw four figures running like crazy in their direction.

The four people look haggard and exhausted as if they were all fought a really terrible and hard battle.

Vitina's skin is even partly exposed due to the damages all over her robe. And the worst of them all is the silver armored guy in front of the group.

Before Yena could greet the four, they simultaneously shouted.

"Run! Away, now!"
