War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 47

…

While engrossed in drawing the design of the artifact, Xin Ja did not notice that there is something changing around him. He is not aware that because of his desire to obtain enlightenment, something moved and changes happened.

As someone who always crafted things and has honed his crafting ability to almost perfection, Xin Ja could now easily design and craft any artifact he would want.

Combining the things he has learned and the things he has experienced, he began drawing a very complex design on paper producing one paper after another.

Soon, he put down the brush and looks at the pile of designs on the table.

With a proud smile on his face, he looks compiled the paper and began checking them out.

With a satisfied smile, he looks up and saw that the cave is now well-lit and it seems that most of the soldiers guarding it were all sent outside.

Ashe walked out of the cave, he saw two soldiers sitting calmly while looking at a crystal display.

When the two heard his footsteps they both stand in attention.

"Are the two of you the only ones left?" Xin Ja asked as he knew that there are actually many guards in this place before.

But now only two are left, which means that the rest have left.

"Yes, sir… We… The situation in the capital is a bit dangerous… so the rest are recalled." One of the two explained.

"Dangerous… Wait a minute…" Xin Ja stopped and then looks at the time in his sight display.

He was a bit shocked because it has actually taken him 2 months just to get the enlightenment he has pursued.

And that is only in creating the blueprints.

He looks at the two and seeing his bewildered gaze they did not hesitate to explain the situation.

Several portals have finally opened last month… but the size is small.

All the portals are located in the sky and this confused a lot of people.

But everyone became vigilant as they prepared for the inevitable outcome of the appearance of the portals.

Due to the appearance, the military has decided to move and attack the Y Systems Incorporated main building.

In that battle, many perished but after a week of hard battle, the building was finally destroyed.

However, after their victory, the portals suddenly appear which began to fill the environment with a dense amount of Ki energy.

Only those that are strong enough could approach the location of the portals along with the ones wearing the Goliath Suit and the demons that are partially immune to it.

Everyone could now see the usability of the Goliath Suit and the engineers who designed it had also begun to create shelters to protect the rest of the citizens using the same configuration as that of the protection of the Goliath Suits.

The horrible deaths that have spread throughout the land have alarmed everyone.

Three days after the portal have appeared, thousands of ordinary people began to feel sick. Some of them who are staying near those portals even exploded into a mist of blood and bones.

This mysterious incident was coined by the media as the Blood Mist incident.

The situation became deadlier as the chaotic Ki which has now turned into a thick fog coming from those portals in the sky began to spread to the ground.

Luckily 2 weeks ago, the shelters have been finished and hundreds of thousands of evacuees began to enter its protection.

One of the largest shelters is the capital city of Evalence.

Evalence has become a bit crowded as its population doubled in the last 2 days due to the influx of refugees from other towns and small cities.

But the team of researchers and engineers has been working really hard to set up more shelters for the people, however, the time is far too constrained and their resources are far too few.

The battle with the Y Systems Incorporated group has caused a large hole in the budget of the military and the government is now having a hard time producing enough resources for the creation of Shelters.

However, a few days ago, the situation subsided as the portal began to stabilize and the pouring of mist finally stopped.

As of this moment, no living being could step out of the shelters without wearing a Goliath Suit. Only those that are at Rank-B and Rank-A could walk outside.

As for the rest of the people, once they are exposed they would explode into a blood mist, and bones in just a matter of 20 seconds.

After hearing what has happened in these two months, Xin Ja could not help but heave a sigh. Though he felt a bit of lamentation in his heart, he also could not help but feel a bit calm.

He needed to reach the Shen realm now.

No matter if he desired to save these people or himself, reaching the Shen realm is the best course of action.

He could now feel the strange aura around this place and knew that someone seem to have set up a formation in this place so that the thick chaotic Ki would not enter.

"I guess… Gun Mace and the rest are worried about me…" he said with a slight chuckle.

"You two should enter… This place would become a bit dangerous soon…" he suddenly said as he turns around and enter back to the cave.

Upon hearing his words, the two guards felt a bit confused but then they followed Xin Ja inside.

With a wave of his hand, the cave opening closed down and a strange seal was placed on it.

"I will need about 3 days… Please do not disturb me," he said to the two.

They both nodded their heads and walked towards the side.

Xin Ja enters the inner cavern once again and quickly takes out a few of the metals in his ring.

Xuanlong and the fiery phoenix which is now the size of a horse came out of the black orb.

"I am about to enter a battle… I would give the two of you a choice… fight with me or…"

Before he could finish his words, the two pets suddenly step forward.

"I will join you, master…" Xuanlong and the phoenix simultaneously replied.

Xin Ja nodded his satisfaction.

If the two decided to leave him, then he would not bother with it as he knew that these two should have a life of their own.

But if they join him in this battle, of course, he would need to make something for them so that they could protect themselves.

And so, he began to be engrossed in his crafting while the two guarded his surroundings.

…

Three days later…

A powerful vortex of chaotic energy has once again formed atop the sky of the cave which has disturbed the chaotic Ki in the surroundings.

At this time, Xin Ja has finished crafting three artifacts. The three artifacts are armor. From the design, one could see that they look like simple trinkets.

The first one is made of wood and in a circular form of Yin and Yang, the second one is made of red crystal with the design of a small ball of fire, and the third one looks like a thumb-size metal sword.

"Alright this is for Xuanlong and this is for the little birdie…" Xin Ja gave the two to his two pets.

Receiving the pendants, the two felt a bit confused but still elatedly accepted it.

As soon as it touches their bodies, they could immediately feel a connection with those things.

A big smile appears on both of them as they could clearly see the function and how those things are to be used.

"Master… This… this is a divine artifact…" Xuanlong suddenly said in a low voice.

She is afraid that someone would hear her words.

Xin Ja just showed a faint smile on his face and nodded.

With that confirmation, the two are elated. With a command from their minds, the two artifact necklace was absorbed into their bodies without a hitch.

When Xin Ja saw this, he felt a bit annoyed and a bit envious.

If he could also do such a thing, then he would not have worn the ring as a necklace for a long time.

He also takes the last artifact and put the necklace on his neck while he walked out of the inner part of the cave.

Seeing the two guards in their Goliath Suits he signaled for them to follow him.

The two guards are just amazed to see two large beasts following Xin Ja that they almost draw their weapons.

But sensing the danger those two bring, they dare not do anything.

"I will first face this tribulation… The four of you should go back to the city…" Xin Ja said after he opened the cave.

"Master… we should…" Xuanlong wanted to say something but Xin Ja waves his hand.

"Protect the people first… I can feel that something is about to happen today." He said.

With a nod of their heads, the four walked back to the city. Meanwhile, Xuanlong and the fiery phoenix have complicated emotions in their eyes.

As the four walked out of the formation, the two guards were a bit taken aback as they noticed that the previous heaviness they are feeling whenever they came in contact with the chaotic Ki outside are already gone.

What they can feel right now is the normal feeling of lightness.

"What has happened…" one of them asked while he continue running at full speed.

But the thing that baffled them the most is that their Goliath Suit's energy and power is actually not lowering.

This only means that the suit is able to get enough power from the atmosphere.

"This is bad… the amount of chaotic Ki in this place has finally balanced with the other side…" Xuanlong suddenly said feeling strong energy which made her feel a bit excited.

It's been a while since she has absorbed such dense chaotic Ki and refined them into pure ones.
