The Geared Immortal

The downfall of a kingdom Part 1

/*unedited*/

A sinister look on a young demon's handsome face flashed as he looks at the refugees. This young demon is one of the captains of the Black Guards of the demon king. He saw that there are many refugees in this place, so he wanted to pick some beauties from them to serve him and his needs.

So he was excited to see that there are actually many female demons in the crowd. But some are dressed poorly while others may look shabby but he can see the beauty within them.

Right now he just saw a woman with a beautiful face. That woman is trying to hide but he already saw her, so his gaze is directed towards her.

"Shin, that maniac seems to be looking at me," Agnes muttered in a low voice.

"Hmm… it seems that he got his eyes on you." Shin Jiao whispered in a serious tone.

This made Agnes frown. She didn't want to be discovered this early. So she is already planning to do something so that they can escape. It is very easy for her to kill these weaklings, but due to the importance of their mission, she could not.

"Don't act impulsively… we still need to find a place to stay so that I can check your body. I need to remove that thing that's keeping your mana." Shin Jiao reminded.

Then they saw the young and handsome demon captain walking towards their direction. He then stood in front of Shin Jiao and Agnes as he extended his hand.

Agnes closed her eyes and didn't fight back. She would just find a way to escape just in case she would be taken into the palace.

Then she suddenly felt her body being push to the side.

She and Shin Jiao staggered after the demon captain parted them apart. Then the captain showed a grin in his face.

"Why… If it isn't the daughter of demon General Cross, I mean ex-demon general. Hahaha…" the captain laughed.

This young captain is Harval, and he served under the demoted demon general called Cross. He was the one who told the current demon king of the collaboration between Cross and the demoted demon queen.

So when the demon queen was able to escape, General Cross was immediately demoted into a commoner and was kicked out of the capital city of the new demon kingdom.

Harval is not contented under General Cross because; the old general is like a hard pole. He would not let his subordinates to have fun with their captured enemies. He would not even feed them to the lower demons. Instead, he would keep them alive in dungeons like those humans.

But now under the new Demon Lord, Harval is living a great life of debauchery and lust. His craving for blood and s*x are always fulfilled.

And now he found new prey.

It is said that the youngest daughter of Cross is a very beautiful demon, in fact, she is considered as the most beautiful demoness in the Demon Kingdom next only to the demon queen.

Her green eyes and pale pink skin can sometimes mistake her for a high elf. But her white glossy crystal horns make her very attractive… However, having a white horn for a 'pure one' means that she does not have any affinity to any demonic powers. Hence she is just trash, in the eyes of others.

Silvera was born 19 years ago, in the wars between the demons and the mages. She didn't know who her mother is, and she was taken by her father.

But in the family, she is despised and is considered as trash because of her white crystal-like horns and her pinkish skin. But her beauty is undeniable; however, she didn't experience the feeling of having a father. She became a famous trashy figure in the demon kingdom but was the shame of General Cross and his family.

Since in the demon world strength is the only way to gain respect, she was shunned and cast aside by her own family. And to cover their shame, the family decided to hide her from the public.

She grew up on her own and when she reached the age of 17 she left her father's side. She began to travel around the continent. But the prejudice of the mages and other beings towards the demons made her come back and decided to stay in a quiet forest alone.

Her life became peaceful as she lived a happy and normal life alone.

One day, the fighting intensified and she was forced to leave the forest as many lower-level demons began escaping.

She was drawn in the war and escaped into the gates and into the new world.

The reason why she was recognized by Harval, is that he saw her one time in General Cross house and was immediately struck by her beauty. So he could not forget her face.

And now, Harval has his chance to fulfill his dream.

Agnes and Shin Jiao look at the young woman behind them. Agnes's eyes turn into slits as she scrutinized the young woman. She can see that her body does not contain any mana, so she pities her within her heart.

She knew the appetite of demons when it comes to s*x. It is said that their lust for blood is the same as their lust for s*x. She also experienced this first hand with the late demon king. But luckily for her, at that time the demon king endowed her body with his black magic and changed her physique.

However, contrary to Agnes's expression, Shin Jiao is showing an amused gaze towards the young woman.

"What pure holy mana… if she can tap on her powers then she can be considered a white mage or a priestess… But, how can this be? She is a demon, right?" Shin Jiao thought.

The young woman slowly backs away as the Harval teases her while walking slowly.

"No matter what you do, you will become mine today. Hihi…" Harval said evilly as his expression distorted.

Seeing that everything is futile, Silvira didn't bother to back away anymore. She closes her eyes and seems to have given up on her life and left her fate in his hands.

Shin Jiao also closes his eyes as he focused his mind on something. He then taps on the spheres in his mind dantian. He wanted to help the young woman without disclosing his identity. Since he has an absolute sense, he wanted to see if he can throw his thoughts to other races with different brain wavelength.

As he concentrated, he can feel that something is flowing out of his nose, but he perseveres.

"Can you hear me?" a voice suddenly echoed through the mind of the young woman which made her feel a bit surprised.

"Don't ask anything, just follow what I say." The voice said.

The expression on Silvira's face made Harval a bit confused. Although her eyes are closed is seemed that she is thinking of something. But he didn't stop his footsteps. He continues to walk towards the beauty who has given up struggling.

"You are mine… Silvira. Hihihi…" Harval said as he grabs her neck with a grin on his face.

Shin Jiao opens his eyes and wipes the blood on his nose.

Agnes saw this making her show a confused expression. But she can't ask Shin Jiao as the demon captain is still holding the young woman near them.

Harval carried Silvira while holding her up on her neck with ease. His grip is not that tight but it still can suffocate anyone being held this way.

However, Silvira didn't reach or anything, in fact, her mind right now is too focused to even bother with what is happening to her. The knowledge that the person has told her is very profound. However, it was a very dangerous power for demonkind.

Besides the mages, there is a very strong army that caused the demons to be unable to fight against the mages and would always cancel their powerful spells. These people are the priests, the nemesis of the demons.

It seems that their white magic is very effective in destroying their black spells, but of course not all of them. For example the powerful black spells of the demon queen where many priests have also died.

But right now, what the voice imparted towards her is crucial to her freedom so she didn't dally and concentrate.

As Harval walks away, Agnes immediately jumps to Shin Jiao's embrace. She then asked in a low voice.

"What happened? Why your nose began to bleed?" she asked in confusion.

She didn't know why but she felt a bit of concern towards Shin Jiao. In their long travel, it seems that her feelings for him became deeper.

"I'm fine, but I need you to be ready. There would be a good show coming." He whispered.

"A good show? How? I mean when?" she asked.

"Just wait for a bit." Shin Jiao said with a mysterious smile.

As the two converses, Shin Jiao suddenly saw the changes inside the white horns of the young woman being carried by the demon captain. He knew that the young woman successfully followed what he said.

But of course, Harval is not just a lowly soldier. He has been in the front lines and has fought against the mages. He has seen how the mages cast their magic and their incantations. Plus as a demon, he is more aware of how the demons use their magic.

Their horns are a very important part of their magic power. Usually, their horns would react to a spell, and right now this is what he is seeing.

But this is an unbelievable seen for him because everyone knows that white horned demons are the powerless ones and those who have lost their magic. So why is this happening right now?

"Now good!" suddenly Narval shouted as he wanted to throw Silvira away.

But suddenly, she opens her eyes and a blinding flash appears.
