The Geared Immortal

Chapter 1312

…

Seven people are slowly approaching the dark forest where the sound of animals pervaded the air sending chills running down the spine of each person in the group except for one.

Although they have been hunting these demons for a long time now, the group could still not get used to the tense feeling that the hunt is giving them.

Xin Ja who is walking behind the group has already spread his Absolute Sense and has scanned the area of around 100 meters from the group.

His figure suddenly flashed and disappears from his spot.

This scene has already been a common occurrence now ever since they enter the forest, so the group did not worry.

After a few seconds, Xin Ja's figure appear behind the group and followed them.

Ever since following this group of people, Xin Ja has observed that his harvest has been plentiful. He has killed a lot of D-rank demons and some mutated animals.

"This group is like a magnet for problems…" he thought as a smile crept on his face.

He now knows the reason why that batch of awakened coming back to the town looks gloomy. They seem to have encountered a lot of beasts in these parts of the forest.

As Xin Ja continuously scanned his surroundings, he suddenly stopped and then frowned.

"Stop!" he said.

The rest suddenly stopped in their tracks and then looks at their surroundings cautiously.

Although his Absolute Sense could not see it, his sharp hearing could hear the sound of battle.

"There are people fighting… 500 meters in that direction." He said while pointing at the west.

Everyone was silent as they look at Peirce.

"Can you detect how many are there?" Peirce asked.

Xin Ja closes his eyes to concentrate and then after a few seconds opens them.

"Roughly around fifty men… and their opponent is a pack of heavyweight creatures…"

This made Peirce frown and then look at the group before him.

"Should we check things out or continue with our mission?" he asked.

"I suggest we check things first… Maybe those are our friends… or maybe foes, who knows…, right?" a female wearing a red leather coat suggested.

Everyone nodded their heads to her suggestion.

Xin Ja leads the group as he suddenly jumps up and began scaling the tree branches. The group followed behind him at a moderate pace.

It did not take long before Xin Ja could now see the situation with his Absolute Sense.

As he scanned the surroundings, he could see many corpses on the ground of both men and ogres. It seems that both parties have suffered huge losses in their clash.

Among the group of people, he recognized three of them, Pigsty, Healock, and Spider Joe. Those are the people that held Peirce and Grover at the club.

"It seems that enemy would surely meet in the narrow road…" he muttered as he looks at the group.

"I guess, these guys belong to that Blue Scorpion gang… But what are they doing here?" he thought.

Xin Ja did not observe further as he run back and then jumped in front of the group following him.

"I found the group fighting against the ogres… They are from the Blue Scorpion." Xin Ja said then looks at Peirce and Grover.

Everyone showed an expression of fear and worry in their eyes.

"Hmm… Let's retreat for now. Those guys are over our heads. They would be able to trample over us after they got rid of the ogres…" Peirce decided.

"Ok, but I would like to suggest something." Xin Ja interrupted as he contemplated.

Then his expression lightens up and he gathered everyone and began to show them his plan.

…

Meanwhile deep inside the forest, the Blue Scorpion gang is now in a predicament.

Out of the 50 members they brought, almost half of them died in the hands of the ogre. What made it more depressing is the red-skinned ogre with a piece of armor made from the rib cage of an unknown beast.

His aura is so domineering that it is affecting the battle formation of the gang.

"Leader! I think we should escape! If we continue to fight with them, then we would all die here!" Headlock suggested to a burly man wearing a leather vest.

The body of that man wearing a leather vest exudes some kind of energy that has the faint aura of lightning.

His eyes are even glowing and a web of electric sparks could be seen coursing through his body.

"No… I, Blue Scorpion, am not a coward…" he said as he glared at the red-skinned ogre.

The figure of Blue Scorpion suddenly flashed as he darted at ogres in front of him with an uncanny speed.

He was too fast that those ogres could barely react as their legs got electrified by his punches.

Bleu Scorpion's target is that red-skinned ogre who seems to be the leader of the group.

Before that guy appears, his men were slaughtering the ogres easily with his help, but as soon as that guy appears and with him a few ogres the tables suddenly turned and now both groups have equal footing.

As lightning bolts appear one after another, some of the ogres would be stunned and unable to move. At that instance, the others would attack those giant ogres with their combined might.

And so the ogres fall one after another.

However, how could the ogres just let this situation be?

With a wave of that red-skinned ogre's hand, several wind blades would appear and decapitate the heads of some of the awakened.

As soon as the stunned ogres could move they would begin to attack the puny people below them with their clubs.

Some unlucky member of the Blue Scorpion gang would be splattered into a paste after getting hit.

"Damn you! You ugly beast!" Blue Scorpion glared at the red-skinned ogre that is now in front of him.

The two are now facing off against each other.

Then suddenly powerful fluctuation of energy erupted in the air and destroyed a large portion of forest around the two and they clashed.

Those that are near the vicinity of the two powerful beings were sent flying and before they could land, their body was already assaulted by sharp winds coupled with lightning sparks.

Pieces of burnt corpses could now be seen everywhere.

"Damn it! Headlock we should run! We cannot let our gang fall just like this!" Banshee shouted as she quickly darted away from the chaotic battleground.

Following behind her is the figure of Spider Joe who is dragging a weak-looking woman.

Pigsty and Headlock did not retreat and sneered at the two.

They might be able to escape this tragedy, but once they came back to the town, the other gangs would surely eat them alive.

The only reason why the Blue Scorpion gang could become overbearing is because of the presence of Blue Scorpion their boss. Without him, the other gangs in the city would have already devoured their gang a long time ago.

So no matter what, Headlock and Pigsty have decided to help their boss in this battle.

Some of their minions have followed the two while the others have stayed and decided to fight.

Bang!

Crash!

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

The loud sound of destruction all over the place could be heard as two figures flashed before their eyes as those figures battled with each other.

Ka-Boom!!!

Suddenly they saw two figures flying at each opposite side and crashing on the ground.

Several trees have been toppled over and the large red-skinned ogre could be seen lying among the rubbles of tree trunks.

Meanwhile, Blue Scorpion could be been with his half-naked body lying on a pit. His body has wounds all over and he seems to be in his last breath.

The battle between the two took about 2 hours before it ended and it seems to be a draw.

"Boss! Boss! Are you okay?" cried Pigsty as his pudgy figure runs to the side of Blue Scorpion.

With one eye swollen and his mouth almost losing all of his teeth, Blue Scorpion forcefully grinned to show his conviction. However, the pain in his body is something that made him realize that he might be in a bad condition.

Pigsty suddenly grabs his body.

"No!... Arrgghh!!!" Blue Scorpion groaned in pain.

"My… My back… This… I can't… I can't feel my… legs…" he suddenly muttered as he grimaces in pain.

When Pigsty and Headlock heard his words, they showed worry in their eyes.

Arrgghh…

Before the two could think deeply, they saw the other ogres begin attacking their men.

Headlock gritted his teeth and also fought back.

Another brutal battle ensues but this time, only 5 of his men are left and Headlock has many wounds on his body.

"Pigsty… take… take…" before he could end his word he noticed something.

Puchi!!!

The two were dumbfounded and were unable to react when they noticed warm liquid splashing on their faces.

Then with horrified expressions on their faces, they look at the head of their leader Blue Scorpion.

Now, his eyes are still open but they are already dilated.

On the side of his head is a metal bolt inserted skewering his brain.
