The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1024

(Unedited)

…

Outside of the city of Heaven and Earth, a huge commotion is happening. It is not only happening in the land of the elves but also in other race's territories. The demons seem to have pop out of nowhere and began conquering one town and city after another.

Those that are caught in their wake were demonized and those that are able to escape are all trapped inside the town, city, or village they are in. It all happened too fast and it seems that the distraction was only caused by the elven race.

Everyone just looks at their TV sets as they saw the news being broadcasted online. However, there are some races that are able to fend off the invasion from the demons and shadow beings. And one of those races is the humans.

From the horizon, they could see smoke rising high above as some of the villages have fully fallen into the hands of the demons.

It was truly a chaotic and despairing time in the immortal land. No one truly expected the ruthlessness of the demons until it was already too late. Many thought that they were prepared, but those are just their wishful thinking.

Heaven and Earth maze dimension…

Inside the Heaven and Earth maze dimension, a slight smile crept on the mouth of the dark elf as she carefully ventured through the dark forest. She could hear and feel that there is a creature currently stalking her.

Suddenly from the dark shadows of the bushes and thickets, a large beast jumps out.

With her quick reflexes, the female dark elf shifted to the side and with a quick slash of her energy-covered knife, the beast was immediately cut in half.

The onlookers who saw this scene all gape in disbelief.

"Did you see that folks!? That is one quick move from our dark elven contestant… she is able to kill a late-stage gold realm beast with just one strike… She is truly fast and has really sharp senses!" the MC commented.

The female dark elf did not linger in this part of the maze, she quickly rushes towards a certain direction, and every step she makes it was as if she knew what she is doing and knew where she is going.

From the onlookers and the audiences, she suddenly became a favorite of the crowd. Her ruthless ways and adept fighting ability made her shine above the rest.

"In the qualifying rounds, Shamil Yet'ak did not show any promising skills and movements, she has been staying low. However, now that we are in the semifinals, I think she is going all out! Look at her move!" the MC continues with an excited tone.

"She is now going through one of the most dangerous paths in the maze, but also a short-cut… if she is able to go through this path, then she would be grabbing the 1st place in the semifinals!"

The female dark elf, Shamil Yet'ak, continues traversing the forest at a fast pace. Whenever she would meet a beast, she would either cut them in one strike or evade them by going through another path. Her skill is really something else and is able to amaze everyone in the crowd.

Through the bushes, the figure of Shamil Yet'ak dashes out, and in front of her lays a deep ravine. As she looks below, she could see a bottomless pit. She has two choices one is to jump over the ravine and the other is to go around it. However, jumping over the ravine is... not an option.

This is because… she could feel that if she did that, she would not be able to reach the other end.

And so, she immediately turns to the side and began running with all her might.

Swoosh!

Suddenly from the side, something came out and she could feel a strong killing intent from that thing.

She did not want to waste her time and quickly takes out her knife and parried the incoming attack.

Clang!

The attack was too strong and it made her let go of her knife.

"Shit! This is making me furious!" Yol-gar erupted in his mind as he wanted to tear apart the giant black snake in front of him.

How could he, the demon emperor, suffer from such a thing?

"Calm down! Remember our mission… We are here for a purpose." The voice inside of him said.

"Che…" Yol-gar sneered in annoyance and just quickly turns around and jumps through the bushes and enters the forest.

But how could the black snake let its prey escape?

It quickly followed behind the dark elf as its eyes glowed in excitement.

Suddenly, it speeds up and climbs up a tree. With its long body, it quickly curled like a spring and the attacks.

Swoosh!!!

Its speed is like a bullet rushing towards its target.

"Jump to the right!" the voice of the Shadow Being Yol-gar said inside his mind.

Without hesitation, Yol-gar quickly dashed to the side and with a quick movement, he takes out another weapon. But this time, this weapon is the cursed weapon of the elves.

It suddenly transformed into a double edge sword and with a swing of his hand, the sword slices a line in the neck of the serpent.

Parts of its guts began pouring out from the long and deep gash.

With a slight sneer on her face, the dark elf then quickly resume towards the hanging bridge she just noticed.

When her figure vanished, two people suddenly jump down from the trees nearby.

"What do you think?" one of the figures asked.

"That one got skill, I give you that."

"No, she does not only have the skills, but her killing intent seems controlled."

"An assassin?"

"No… she is something else…"

After the two discussed for a while, they quickly rushed towards the direction of Shamil Yet'ak.

This same scenario could be seen in the maze as the contestant would face one beast after another while they traverse the maze. Those who are lucky would be able to escape the onslaught of the beast. Those who are out of luck would be wounded heavily and be disqualified.

There is a reason why this contest was not put through the virtual world. And the only ones who know that reasons are those in the higher-ups.

Soon, the Shamil Yet'ak or Yol-gar reached the other side of the ravine.

She is then faced with an army of rock golems.

When she was about to act, she suddenly noticed from the corner of her eyes, a tall figure.

The tall figure is donned in a dark green gown while she rushes towards the army of golems.

Shamil Yet'ak noticed this as she suddenly became competitive.

The tall and cold-looking female, which is clearly from the dragon race in her human form, did not bother with the figure following behind her.

With quick movements, she fought valiantly against the golems.

Then not long later, another figure appears, it is a female human wearing a dark blue gown.

She too did not hesitate to fight off the army of golem charging towards them.

Not long later other figures began joining the fray as they began destroying the golems standing on their path.

The first one to get out of the golem army is the tall female dragon followed by Shamil Yet'ak.

Although they look fine, yet in truth the two of them suffered some wounds in that battle. While flying away, they took some pills to heal their wounds.

"Would you look at that?! The fastest and is about to reach the semifinal platform is the dark elf, Shamil Yet'ak, and her opponent would be from the dragon clan, Verna Frost… Let's see who will win… Oh, by the way… Do you know that when they reach the platform, they would be fighting each other and the winner will be the finalist to enter the Heaven and Earth valley?!" the emcee shouted in glee.

Everyone who already knew of this just nodded their heads. But those who have not yet watched the Heaven and Earth opening showed astonished expressions on their faces.

"I wonder who would win? The dark elf or the dragon?"

"Should you have to ask that question? There is no doubt about it, the dragon would surely win…"

"I don't know… my bet is on the dark elf. She showed strength, agility, and finesse in her fights, that is something that a dragon could not do."

"I agree, that dragon might be strong and all, but I don't think she could win against the dark elf…"

"Ha… Fools that dragon is Verna Frost. In our dragon land, she is known as the most talented prodigy in all aspects of combat…"

As the contestants near the platforms, everyone is already giving out their opinions. They are showing their enthusiasm in this final battle for the Heaven and Earth opening.

Even in cities, towns, and villages being attacked outside, many are still viewing this Heaven and Earth opening.

The reason for this is because everyone knows that if the Heaven and Earth valley activate, these demons will become powerless and weak.
