The Geared Immortal

The city guardian

/*unedited*/

A huge looming monster that looks like a giant plant-like golem blocks the sun as its body stood at hundreds of meters through the air. The beings down below look like ants easily trampled under its feet.

"What the hell is that? The ruined city is already gone and what's left is that monster."

"Even those scary flying creatures are also gone. Was that storm caused by this monstrous creature?"

"Be careful everyone, I think that thing spotted us."

"Be ready for a fight!"

"Hey, look over there! There are two figures running. I think they are attracting the attention of that creature."

"Let's live those two and loot this place, maybe we can find something."

"Are you stupid? Look at that place. The old ruined city is no more. What do you think we can still loot?"

"But we all saw the bright green light, right?"

The people composed of many races, who just arrived in the place, began discussing.

Then suddenly another large group arrived behind them, these group is mostly composed of wolf and feline races. They traveled to this place using light and fast airships that's why they immediately got here in just two days.

"Look, over there! City Lord, there are two people trying to fight that monstrous thing… What should we do?"

Suddenly a black and silver-haired middle-aged man stepped forward.

Moon Fang look at the situation and his eyes turned into slits. He is looking at the woman who seems to begin chanting something. Then suddenly the bright sky turned cloudy and the sound of thunder echoed.

Not long later, think lightning strike began raining down.

"Move! Runaway!"

"Move everyone! Runaway from here!"

Immediately all the men shouted in a panic because their location is included within the range of this wide-range spell.

Crackle! Crackle! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of thunder and lightning hitting the ground and the giant plant creature shook the ground.

Explosions have spread everywhere as the ground and rocks were destroyed after being hit by the arm thick lightning.

The chaotic scene made the area affected by the lightning storm almost inescapable. Although there are those who escaped, there are also some who are unlucky and was hit by the lightning.

Using their Qi field to the fullest the cultivators and the beast-men began running away from the radius.

Shin Jiao looks dumbfounded at the strength of that spell. It was truly awesome and powerful. However, he knew that it consumes a lot of mana.

And true to his thought, he can see the pale face of Agnes as she staggered while standing. She turned her gaze on him although she looks pale; her beautiful smile still shines on her face.

Then she weakly lifted her thumb and touches her nose as if everything was too easy for her.

Shin Jiao shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

They suddenly heard the painful cry coming from the monstrous plant creature.

As the lightning strike slowly destroys its body, Shin Jiao can see green liquid oozing out of every corner of its bark-like skin. Then suddenly its body began to burst on fire.

This made the creature began to go wild as it swayed its long whip-like vines all over the place.

Bang! Crash!

More destruction happened as the ant-like people down below started running away from the place as far as they could.

However, there are those who began to retaliate as they began attacking the creature.

The almost three hundreds of cultivators and beast-men use their skills to retaliate and inflict more damage to the plant-like creature.

As Shin Jiao saw this, he took out some incendiary grenade and began throwing it to the gigantic creature.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The loud explosion caused by skills and projectiles reverberated through the air.

"I think this thing should be dead." Shin Jiao muttered as he lifted Agnes and began running towards the bridge.

As soon as they reached near the bridge a loud booming voice suddenly echoed through the air.

"FORMER QUEEN OF THE DEMONS! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING? WE ARE NOT DONE YET!!"

This booming sound almost breaks everyone's eardrums. Making them staggered from where they are standing. Those flying in the air found themselves having a hard time controlling their flight pattern.

"That's… That's the demon Azmodiaz! He is still alive!" Agnes exclaimed.

"I think he has integrated himself with that plant creature. This is bad… We have to destroy that thing before we can cross that bridge."

"How?" Agnes asked.

She knew how tough that thing is. In her last spell, she has already used almost 70% of her mana. If she is facing a normal human or demon then she would have already obliterated them through that spell. But it didn't destroy the creature completely; the damage is already enough that half of its body is already burnt and oozing with green goo.

"I… I don't know I guess we just have to fight it until we find a solution." Shin Jiao said while looking at the towering monster.

"Young man you can use me… I've been waiting for this chance to be of great use to you." Suddenly a voice echoed through Shin Jiao's mind.

Upon hearing that voice, Shin Jiao's expression changed. He knew to whom that voice belongs to, the black dragon. He knew the danger of releasing the power of this creature. If he has a choice he would not even dare to think of using its devastating might.

Unlike conventional weapons and bombs, the power of the dragons is way more terrifying. They are like walking atomic bombs which can obliterate anything on their path. The reason why the northern portion of the land in this continent is a huge massive dry desert is because of the corrosion that the black dragon's power exudes. Plus the destruction it has caused to this continent is not even repairable even after many years have passed.

So, Shin Jiao didn't bother with it. He wanted to put Agnes to the ground and go back fighting the monster.

"No, I still want to fight. Though I can't stand I can still fight." she resisted as her hold on his neck tightens.

"Alright, alright… take this first." Shin Jiao gave her a unique core.

"Absorb the energy inside." Shin Jiao said.

"What? I'm not like you. We don't recover our energy that way. We usually drink potions." She explained.

"Look we don't have time. Just focus your mind and try to feel the energy within. When you feel it, try to gather it in your head." Shin Jiao explained.

Feeling confused, he didn't bother with her anymore.

He began dashing back to the fight while still carrying the stubborn woman.

In fact, Shin Jiao has no other choice but to bring her with him. This is also for her protection and safety. If he left her on the ground somewhere and was attacked by the monster, then he is sure that she will surely die.

Taking out his long rifle, Shin Jiao began scanning the large body of the creature. Upon doing so, he discovers that inside it is like a large labyrinth of vines and wooden branches. As he went slowly up Shin Jiao came upon strange energy in its center.

"There! I think that would be its weakness." He said while trying to see what that strange glowing object in its chest is.

But he could not see or even determine what it was as his vision is blocked by a bright greenish light.

"Damn it, no matter what we need to get up there." Shin Jiao said.

"Why don't we work with those people? We can accomplish more if we work together." Agnes blurted out while pointing at the group of people attacking the monster.

Amidst the explosion and the fighting, Shin Jiao ran towards a group of men who seems to be commanding this large party.

"Halt! Who goes there?" a wolfman suddenly blocks their path.

"I am Shin Jiao and this is Agnes… We would like to propose a suggestion for defeating that thing."

"Let them come." A stern voice coming from the middle-aged man with black and silver hair commanded.

Shin Jiao put Agnes on the ground as they walked towards the group of men leading their fighters.

As Shin Jiao and Agnes walk closer he noticed something from the aura of the middle-aged man who seems to be their leader. When Shin Jiao saw this, his expression immediately changed and then he turned his gaze towards Agnes. She too showed a surprised expression on her beautiful face.

Although the middle-aged man is hiding his true aura and power, with Shin Jiao's goggles he can immediately tell that the man is not a pure beast-man. His body is exuding an aura that belongs to another race other than that of the beasts.

Agnes can also see a faint trace of aura coming from the man. And from the looks of it, this man is a half breed of three races.

When their eyes met, with a tacit understanding, Agnes nods her head in agreement.

"This man is not only a member of the beast clan but also that of a human and something else…" Shin Jiao thought.

"You can see it too right?" Shin Jiao whispered.

With a nod, she agreed.

"Then, is he also a member of your kind?"

Hearing his words, she shook her head as she scrutinized the middle-aged man.

"I think he is a werewolf, one of the most vicious demons in my race… but he can control his transformation which means that he is a hybrid… he is a Lycanthrope.." She whispered.
