The Geared Immortal

Desperation

/*unedited*/

A whole range of explosions began erupting throughout the whole demon army. But the thing is, the explosions are actually just small, but the chain reaction from those explosions is what makes it more explosive.

Shin Jiao and the two women, began putting explosives in many strategic places within the demon army's camp, especially the places where they put the ammunition for the cannons.

In the past, after the first cannon was destroyed by Shin Jiao, the demons decided to separate the ammunition so that it can give them safety. However, right now it caused them to suffer more damage than they have could ever imagine.

Harval and the other generals were dumbfounded upon hearing the rows of explosions. However, before they can react, they saw a bright flash of light right in front of them.

It turned out that Shin Jiao has put an explosive in the carriage carrying the demon generals. In that instant, the carriage was blown to bits and pieces along with the demon leaders inside it. Even the ogres carrying the carriage were blown to bits.

This is the power of the bomb that Shin Jiao and the two women have put secretly on many strategical points in the demon encampment.

However, what Shin Jiao didn't expect is the power of the explosion of the cannon shells. It actually blew up almost half of the demon army along with the three of them.

Luckily he was fast enough to react and activated the defensive array he already put up ahead of time. Yet it was not enough to suppress the force of the blast. Although the explosion is not as strong as a nuclear bomb, it was strong enough to destroy the array and blew the three of them away from the encampment.

The devastation was truly great that the dark energy controlling the demons immediately vanished and those under that control began to rampage inside the camp.

Now carnage can be seen everywhere as the demons and its allies began to kill each other.

Meanwhile, in a distant place behind the fort, a few shadows are looking at the situation in the demons encampment. They were flabbergasted at the situation where a series of huge explosions rocks the desert and after that, the demons began fighting among themselves.

"Damn it! Those idiots can't even do a simple thing… Let's go back and report. The mission was a failure." shouted the man who seems to be their leader.

"Then what about the demons? Can't we use them as they are?" one of his subordinates asked.

"No, we can't those things are in a berserk state. They would kill us rather than work with us…"

The number of shadows is around 50 people. All of them are wearing a brown cloak which seems to blend in the desert.

As they were moving away from the outskirts of the fort, a pair of eyes is calmly watching them.

Shin Jiao has already recovered from the effect of the blast force and is currently hiding not too far from the demon encampment. Right now, he is just waiting for the movement on both sides so that he can at least find who the traitor is.

And from his position, he saw the fifty figures walking away from the outskirts of the fort. Using the zoom function of the goggles, he can see the cloaked figure.

"Beast-men?" Shin Jiao muttered as he saw that some of the figures have tails.

Even though they are wearing cloaks, their tails would still show as they walked. Hence this made Shin Jiao a bit baffled.

"The traitors are the beast clan? No, it can't be… Maybe there's a far deeper scheme that this." he thought.

Suddenly, his attention was caught by a loud explosion as a figure suddenly flew up in the sky.

"Who dares destroy my army!" shouted a loud voice.

The figure floating in the sky is actually Harval. However, right now he is in a sorry state with half of his face burnt black along with his clothes.

"Gosh, this is guy is too resilient. He can survive the holy blast, fire blast, what else can this demon survive?" Shin Jiao muttered as he stretched his hand and a rifle appears.

He immediately sent a mark on Harval's forehead before pulling the trigger. But before he can do so, he immediately noticed Harval turning his gaze towards his position.

Harval felt something strange from that direction and immediately turn his gaze. Then he saw a demon holding a strange long hollowed stick and pointing it towards him. This immediately got his vigilance and quickly darted towards Shin Jiao's position.

Peng!

Shin Jiao didn't hesitate and just pulled the trigger. Harval didn't dodge but instead deflected the bullet with his own hand enveloped with his mana field. When he was promoted to a general position, the demon king has presented him with an opportunity to enhance his power.

So he and the other demon generals now have the strength of a Grand Knight. But Harval is different. He was not contented with the power upgrade hence he uses all in his power to attain more. Before leaving the demon king gave him a potion that can boost his power.

When the explosion happened, he immediately took the potion as he tried to pull his remaining strength together. And now he can feel an overwhelming power all over his body.

Shin Jiao saw the figure of Harval crashing towards him, so he immediately dodges to the side.

Boom!!!

Punching towards the ground a loud explosion erupted as Harval's figure landed in a crater where desert sands were blown high up in the air.

Without a second word, Harval continues attacking Shin Jiao's figure as the two began a cat and mouse chase. Shin Jiao's figure weaves through the countless demons currently battling each other in their berserk state as a side effect of the brain controlling of the demons using the mana refineries.

And after the explosions, the mana refineries are now down without the people providing power on them.

As the two fights, two female demons are currently approaching a mobile mana refinery.

"Silvira, I will start!… Please protect me." Agnes said as she concentrated a large amount of mana into her palms.

Suddenly, a white golden light began to envelop the two of them in a two meters wide dome shape holy force field.

This is the first time that Agnes would be enveloped inside Silvira's force shield so she felt a bit curious. However, what she didn't expect is the reaction of her mental dantian upon being engulfed inside the holy force shield.

It was like something in her mind suddenly pops and a ringing sound almost made her deaf.

Then this is followed by excruciating pain as Agnes suddenly fell to the ground with a loud cry. She didn't expect to feel the pain in her head as it's like something is being burned inside of it.

Her eyes are filled with tears as she tried to grit her teeth through the pain, but alas it was to no avail. As time went by the pain grew and grew.

Silvira was immediately perplexed at the situation as she didn't know what had happened. She knew that Shin Jiao and Agnes as immune to holy Qi, so she didn't know what had happened to Agnes right at this time.

However, she could not put down the holy force field because in front of them stood a huge lower demon holding a big rusty ax. Behind that demon, there are also others who seem to have noticed the commotion and stopped the fighting. They are now looking at Silvira and Agnes who is currently screaming in pain while rolling on the ground.

Shin Jiao noticed this scene and didn't want to bother with Harval anymore. So he took out his black katana blade and suddenly reverses his direction and flew towards Harval.

In a blink of an eye, he reached Harval's position and with a quick swing of his katana, he sliced through Harval's head.

But the battle-hardened demon was able to see this along with his already higher strength, he easily dodges the black blade.

"It seems that you can actually fight back… Now, this would be fun…" Harval said as he too took out two arms-length short swords behind his back waist.

"Now, let's dance…" Harval said as he dashed towards Shin Jiao brandishing the two short swords in his hands.

The two began clashing with each other as they exchange blows after blows. Harval's has reached the strength equal to a peak of the infant soul realm cultivator coupled with his experience in wars and battles. Hence the two are almost a tie in this duel.

However, Shin Jiao's heart is very concerned at Agnes's situation so he wanted to end the battle as soon as he can.

Taking out a handgun, Shin Jiao prepares for another bout with Harval.

While this is happening, in the main front of the war, demon king Belfast suddenly frowns. He was about to go out to battle along with the undead dragons and the rest of his powerful soldiers. But something happened which made him feel a bit confused.

"She was able to get away from my dark binding curse? It's either that or she is already dead. But if she is alive, then she must be suffering from terrible pain, a pain that can cause her to lose her mind. Hehe… Goodbye, demon queen… Agnes."
