The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1020

(Unedited)

…

Alone and outnumbered, Shin Jiao has no chance against his foes. When he was struck by that lava ball, he feels that his entire body suddenly ached in pain that he was about to pass out. When he was about to hit the mountainside, he immediately covered his body with energy.

This made him successfully avert his unexpected demise. In fact, he has not died yet in the immortal land up to this day. It is almost around 4 years since he arrives in this place and the battle in front of him would be the hardest he would ever face.

From his account, the number of the demon army alone should be more than 10 thousand according to the space they are occupying.

And out of the tens of thousands of demons in here, there are around a thousand that are in the high lord realm. So how could this not be an impossible battle for him?

But Shin Jiao is not given a choice at this point in time. It is either he fights or he dies. There are no other choices.

And so, with gritted teeth, he has to once again use his gears. Just like when he fought against Ruel in the space tomb, he has no choice but to use the entire arsenal in his possession if he wanted to escape this predicament.

And so without hesitation, he quickly takes out a couple of gear mechs in his dimension and sent them out. He has already let central control these mechs. Although he did not want to alert and worry Luna and Maga, he has no choice but to render their help at this time.

"Luna… It's Shin Jiao. I need your help…" Shin Jiao contacted Luna and told her what he wanted.

…

Suddenly, he immediately acted, and from inside his mech suit, he has already slain one demon and crushed its core.

Shin Jiao then flew out of the hole which was immediately becoming bigger.

The demons in front of him were baffled but soon glared at the metal golem. How could they not know what that is? In their conquest of space and their constant battles against the opposite side, they have encountered a civilization that is life but instead just machines.

The demons have suffered such a large casualty on that planet and every force they send would be destroyed. They could not use beguilement, lies, trickery, or anything that has the chance to entrap a mind. This is because those machines have no mind, no soul… no nothing. They are machines that a certain race has created and was left on that planet.

The machines began to build other machines and followed their own set of programs. They might look sentient and all, but in the end, they still have no soul.

Due to their loss and defeat and the discovery that the planet holds no real purpose, the demons decided to withdrew.

Now that they are seeing something that looks the same as the metal golems on that planet, the demon army became wary and angry at the same time.

"Kill that thing!" shouted a demon commander.

With his command, several dozens of dark spells began to cover the air. Then without warning, a dark laser fires at Shin Jiao's mech.

But how could Shin Jiao let himself be hit by that dark laser? The mech moved to the side dodging the dark beam, and with a wave of his hand, the metallic arm of the mech which is still in the midst of the demon army suddenly began moving.

It began attacking other demons causing chaos within their ranks.

But that is not all… within the hole where Shin Jiao came from, several other mechs flew out.

Seeing the number of metal golems increasing the demon army suddenly turned into a frenzy. They all began to rush towards the metal golems and try to subdue them with their large numbers and strength.

The whole area became chaotic as the land was turned upside down due to the powerful spell which erupted in the air.

…

It was already midnight when the battle ended. Thousands of demons have died in this battle, but the mechs were all turned into scraps by their sheer number and power level.

But Shin Jiao has obtained his goal in this battle.

As of right now, he is flying as fast as he could on another hoverbike heading in the direction of Heaven and Earth city.

His entire arsenal of mech suits was wrecked in that gruesome battle.

Plus, his left arm is severely wounded while it hangs weakly on his side.

'Shin… How are you doing?' Luna's voice could be heard after the video call connected.

"I'm fine… Thank you for helping." Shin Jiao said with a slight smile on his face.

'Hihi… You don't have to thank me. I was not the one controlling those things actually…' she said with a mysterious smile on her face.

She then shifted the camera and Shin Jiao saw nine individuals behind her. Shin Jiao was a bit perplexed upon learning who those people are.

"No wonder, those mechs were fearsome and skilled in combat… I was wondering when you guys became so fierce." Shin Jiao teased.

'Hey, what do you mean by that?' Luna reacted with a frown.

'Haha… I truly enjoy that battle. I did not expect such arsenal to be in your hands, young Shin Jiao…' the tall and handsome looking man with silvery scales said.

Shin Jiao knew that this guy is the dragon emperor.

'Haha… I'm glad I took that metal golem with those big fists… Oh… I wanted to fight something that strong… Hey, young human, can you make something just like that for me next time…' a giant man said while chuckling.

It was the king of the Gigantes race.

The few more saint rulers said their piece and Shin Jiao thanked them for their help in the battle against the demons.

'Sigh… Young Shin, we owe you a big debt of gratitude. Without you, we could not have wiped out half of the demon army… judging from that battle alone, this city would be surely overwhelmed if that large number of demons attack us. But now that we saw them coming, we are now able to prepare. Although it is just a chance, on behalf of the saint rulers of the immortal land, Thank you… I hope you can arrive here soon… The danger is not yet averted.' The silver-scaled dragon emperor said with a serious expression.

'My dragonkin has already gotten the information we needed due to the data you have sent. We could somewhat tell what they are going to do. But if our conjecture is right, then only those handful of people could be of help… You, young ones would be the one to save the immortal land this time.' The dragon emperor added.

Shin Jiao just nodded his head.

After talking for a while, Shin Jiao cuts off the call and concentrated on healing his heavy wounds while driving the hoverbike.

Even with the suit, he was still wounded heavily by one of the demon High Lords which sneak attacked him from behind.

Luckily he was quick to dodge, but due to the dark energy from that sword, his left arm, and his left side was still wounded heavily.

If it was a normal immortal, they would have already been corrupted by the dark energy entering their body. However, for Shin Jiao who has the dark essence, the dark energy is nothing more than another type of energy to enter his body and be absorbed.

While calmly healing himself, Shin Jiao soon discovered that his consciousness is slowly becoming dimmer.

"What… what is happening?" he muttered as he tried to shake his head and shook off the dizziness he is feeling.

However, he soon found out that it was futile. Shin Jiao looks at his left hand and saw that the bleeding is still not stopping.

"Damn… I was too focused on escaping and absorbing the dark energy that I forgot to close the wound… Wait a minute… why… why is the wound not closing?" he thought as his consciousness woozy and his grip on reality is slowly ebbing away.

Suddenly, he feels his body light as if the direction he is going is not straight but upwards.

Trying to hold to his consciousness and controlling himself, Shin Jiao is not aware of what is happening anymore.

Then he felt that he is suddenly plummeting to the ground.

"No… This… this is… bad…" he muttered trying to stabilize himself.

But it was all to no avail. No matter what he tries, he could not hold on to consciousness anymore.

Bang!

He did not know how it happened, but Shin Jiao seem to suddenly hit something as his body was thrown away like a ragdoll.

Although he could not move and barely holding to his consciousness, he still could perceive something in his blurry vision.

Before his consciousness faded, he slowly extended his hand to the figure in front of him.

"Who… who… are you?" he asked in a weak tone.

"Rest now... you still have a long way to go..." a beautiful and calming voice said.
