The Geared Immortal

Chapter 730

(Unedited)

…

The entrapment barrier is complete, and the vast army of the enemy began their attack and the rest marches forth towards the gorge. The goal is to attack the last defense on the border, the human fortress within the gorge.

Gipard town is now under a barrage of attack from lightning and other elemental spells that tries to ravage the town's shield.

As the sound rumbles and the strong force hits the barrier protecting the town the people are not spared from the impact force created by the collision between the barrier and the elemental attacks.

Many of the town's houses are not spared and were ruined. Luckily everyone is prepared for this and has been sent to the middle of the town where another protection barrier is erected.

Inside the city hall, in a round array formation, a few lords stood in a circle as they pour out their energy to make the barrier stable. In the middle of this array is a spear, the same spear that Ryujin Osmond got from Shin Jiao. Since he got two of them, he decided to use one as a channeling point that would help with the barrier energy increasing further.

It has been two days since the start of the attack and the enemy has already given everything they've got. The exhausted lords are sitting on the side while trying to regain their energy.

"If we keep this up, the enemy would not be able to defeat us." one of the lords said as he looks at the situation.

"Yes, with that spear in the middle, we would be able to hold on even if it would take years before the reinforcement arrives. Hahaha…"

Everyone is in a jolly mood as they discovered that the town is able to withstand the enemy even though they are trapped.

"We only have one problem… the food supply."

"I have already asked the alchemists in the town to make fasting pills. This way the peasants and servants would not need to consume too much food."

"Why not get rid of those lower-powered people?" suddenly someone suggested.

Everyone took a glance at the person and frowns. How could they do such a thing? The reason why they are able to live a good life is because of those servants and peasants. Plus those lower-level people are the source of power for the race.

Once they grow, they would add in the fighting capability of the race, so how could they do such a thing.

Seeing that everyone is looking at him, the lord that suggested it turn silent and retreat in shame. He did not expect that his simple and casual suggestion would gain ire from everyone.

"Anyway, we should just hold on until the backup arrives," Ryujin said as he appears at the door.

…

Outside the town, the enemy feels frustrated as they could not even make the barrier inside the entrapment array budge. They were all a bit taken aback as even their plan to use the array breaking technique was useless.

The barrier in the town seems to have become stronger.

On the third day…

Inside the mansion of the Mills, a man slowly formed out of the dust from the resurrection spot of the family mansion. Then the figure of Geland Mills slowly appears.

He slowly opens his eyes and upon seeing that there are no one around a smile appears on his face.

"Hehe… It seems that no one in the town was informed." Geland said with a smile.

But what baffled him is that no servant is present inside the resurrection spot of the family mansion.

So he just walks out and wipes the remaining liquid goo-like thing on his body. Then with a wave of his hand white cloth suddenly flew towards his body and clothed him.

Then he calmly walks out of the resurrection spot and opens the door.

As he takes a step forward, he suddenly feels his vision changes, and then all he could see in the void. Then from within the void, a small spark of flame appears, and then another and then another until a line of light leading into a particular direction was formed.

When Geland Mills saw this, his heart skipped a beat. This scene only means one thing. And that is the immortal punishment space.

This is a place where immortals are punished until their sins would be pardoned.

However, how could Geland Mills not know what his sins are? Now his heart is filled with regret. He regretted being swayed by the enemy and becoming a traitor to humanity. Though he has expected that such a thing would happen to him, yet he did not expect it to arrive sooner and he isn't able to escape.

His heart feels desperate, but how could he escape this? How could he escape the eternal imprisonment?

Without a choice, and with a regretful heart, Geland Mills accepted his fate.

…

In the outskirts of the town near the eastern part of the entrapment barrier, a young man sat cross-legged on the ground.

In front of him is a hole the size of around 2 meters in width and 2 meters in height.

On the ground is a stone table with many kinds of materials strewn around.

Shin Jiao has finished the barrier 2 days ago and began to analyze the demon mask. He found it very interesting and judging from the way it was crafted, it was made by someone with great crafting ability. He did not expect that someone other than him and Geun Man is able to reach such prowess in crafting.

Using the pattern of the demon mask and combining it with his own style of crafting, Shin Jiao is now able to create a suit for himself. This suit is something like what he had before.

But this time, he made it more organic than metallic-like.

As he opens his eyes after recovering his energy, he looks at the mask on the stone table. The mask looks like a helmet with two large eyes and a mouth covering. Shin Jiao designed the mask to looks like something from his childhood memory.

As he once again put his mind into finishing the mask, the components on the stone table soon disappear one by one.

After a while, he finished everything up and then stood up from the ground.

"With this suit, my battle prowess would double or even triple. But the consumption of energy would be too much…" he thought as he carefully put on the mask.

After he turned it on, a computer-generated voice came out.

'Initializing system… booting up process will take ten seconds, please wait…'

The system boots up and soon in his vision, he could see everything around him. Shin Jiao designed the helmet to have the ability to see in a 360 vision. With him in the center, he is able to see everything around him.

Shin Jiao removes the helmet and hid it in his ring, and then he touches his earpiece.

"The breach is successful; it's all up to you now, my lord." Shin Jiao said as he relays the coordinates where the breach is and how they could enter it as it is protected by a formation array that he raised.

As Shin Jiao relayed everything, he did not linger in the area and suddenly his figure disappears from where he is as if he turned into sand and vanished.

…

Before Ryujin Osmond received this good news, something happened in the town.

After they caught Geland Mills and the Mills family surrendered, a figure appears atop a mountain among the enemy soldiers. This figure exudes a powerful aura that made the High Elves and the Zith'ra races feel straitened. They could feel the powerful energy coming from the figure as everyone prostrate to the ground.

"Da… da… Dragonkin… that is a dragonkin. Why? How could it appear in this place?" the general of the combined troops muttered in a shaking voice while he prostrates himself on the ground.

Out of the three demi-god races, the dragons are the most powerful. They could be even already considered as gods amongst the immortals in the immortal land.

With spells and power that surpasses the norms and is passed down through their bloodlines, a dragon baby would be born with the power of a lord.

And as they grow, they could easily overpower any immortals they faced.

But dragons are very reclusive and seldom come out.

But if they made their move, then not even the combined forces of the High Elves and Zith'ra race could stop them.

And now such a powerful being suddenly appears on the battlefield, what could this mean?

The combined army suddenly feels that the humans might have allied themselves with the dragons, and this would not bid well with the army.

"General, what should we do?" a Zith'ra soldier asked with fear in his voice.

"What can we do? That dragonkin is already nearing the saint level, even if we make a move, we'll just die in its hands. I don't want to suffer that humiliation and the failure of our mission."

The dragonkin suddenly stopped as he looks at the entrapment barrier. He extended his hand and frowns while passing through the array with ease.

Though he was not permitted to enter, by just using his own domain, he is able to pass through.

He then casually walks towards the human town barrier. As soon as he touches the barrier he suddenly feels a strange and powerful resistance. And this made the dragonkin frown.

He exerted his domain tried to break through the barrier. However, he was astonished to discover that the human protective barrier is far stronger and even stable.

"Interesting…" he muttered as he turns around and flew above.

He suddenly gathers his strength as his arm slowly bulges. His arm which looks human suddenly turned bigger and glittering golden scales appears.. Then a huge pressure comes out as the dragonkin charges towards the barrier.
