The Geared Immortal

Facing the demon queen Part 2

/*unedited*/

The feeling of going to heaven and falling back to hell in a roller coaster ride can make one lose their mind. And right now, that is what the three figures are feeling.

However, unlike the two demons that are wailing and rolling in the ground, the demon queen is still standing but large veins can be seen on her face as she tried to control her body. As a powerful being that has reached the Elemental Lord realm, she has her ways of controlling her body and resisting poison.

But she knew that what they took is not poison as she can feel the healing effect that has entered her body. However, what surprised the demon queen is the reaction of her body to the healing pill. With suspicion in her eyes, she turned her gaze towards the young man Shin Jiao.

Suddenly she noticed that the woman with him has already disappeared from behind the rocks.

This made her feel a bit angry and annoyed. Though she feels that the young human is weaker than her, the craftiness in his eyes made her body shiver unconsciously.

"It seems that the queen is having a hard time… what is wrong?" Shin Jiao asked innocently as if he didn't know what just happened.

His acting skill almost made the demon queen wanted to choke him.

"Haist, such a beauty leads her kind in this place… What would you like to achieve? Domination? Chaos? No matter what it is, it would always fail if you don't coexist with the world." Shin Jiao said as he observes the situation.

The two demons have already stopped moving and even breathing.

"Holy energy is really their weakness. I guess because they are used to facing their enemies head-on and being feared by all the other races around them, they have less interaction with other beings. But why did this demon queen talked to me?" Shin Jiao thought while observing.

"I… If you don't kill me now… I… I will… I will get my revenge." shouted the demon queen.

This made Shin Jiao frown.

"Revenge for what? You're the one who looks high and mighty. You think you can just bully anyone weaker than you because of your powers. Every powerful being and great leaders have their own weakness. And this is yours…" Shin Jiao said as he extended his hand and his black sword appears.

When the demon queen saw that the human is about to do something, her heart began to beat erratically. This also made her broke her concentration and the pain in her body intensified.

Purplish blood flow down the side of her black lips and a disappointed smile appear on her face.

She was actually escaping the capture of the demon general called Belfast. After all the demons were able to pass through the gates, they immediately occupied the northern part of the continent. And Belfast is the strongest general of the demon army.

At first, he was cooperative and very supportive of the queen. This is because the queen is the only demon able to control the gates. But as soon as all the demons were able to pass through the gates, a coup began. Belfast showed his own greed in taking the reigns as the demon king. This is because he viewed the demon queen as unworthy of the throne because she was once a human.

In his eyes, only pure demons are supposed to rule the demons. Hence a small war began and without scruple, the demon queen side lost. This is due to the machination of Belfast.

And now, she is wounded and without her throne. She felt like dying under a human hand might not be too bad.

When Shin Jiao walked closer, he suddenly noticed her eyes.

The complex emotion inside those eyes made him feel a bit hesitant.

Then suddenly a row of tears appear which slide through the surface of her smooth cheeks. The demon queen gritted her teeth and slowly extended her hand towards the single horn on her forehead.

"Human… I… I will… not… die… by your hands." she said slowly as weakness can be seen in her body.

Shin Jiao scanned her body and saw that there is a gaping wound under her armor near her stomach. This gaping wound should have closed but opened once again after the side effect of the holy energy mixed in the pill.

She plans to cut her horn which is actually the source of many of the demon's powers and authority.

But before she could exert her effort, she suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Shin Jiao watches with a complicated look in his eyes.

"The expression in those eyes, I think I've seen them before." Shin Jiao muttered as he turns around and began walking away.

…

Meanwhile, Qian Li has already reached the safe house designated by Shin Jiao near the Dark forest borders. When she arrived, she saw the rich amount of different crystals, stones, and materials in the area.

At first, she thought that there is only a simple passage, but she knew her master. So she immediately used the goggles on her forehead and saw through the camouflage array.

"This… this is too amazing. I wonder how Shin was able to find this place." she muttered as she began looking at the large number of materials.

"Should I wait for him here?" she said while thinking.

Then she gritted her teeth and decided to go out. She still needs to inform the kingdom of what they saw in the valley and give the pill to the prince.

Besides the protective pill and the scroll, Shin Jiao gave her a small pouch containing some pills which include the black pill which could heal the 2nd prince of his illness. Hence, Qian Li decided to follow Shin Jiao's command and go back.

After deciding she was able to go out of the safe house and immediately ran towards the nearest town, the town of Crow.

…

Meanwhile, inside the Shin County two figures are standing side by side on top of the rooftop while looking at the buildings around them.

If Shin Jiao were here, he would find that Shin County is almost like that of a common city on earth. Modern buildings, spirit stone powered vehicles, flying airships, and etc. can be seen all around the main city.

"Shin, I wish that your memory would come back. We truly need your ideas in this upcoming war against the demons. Reports have said that the northern defenses of the beast clan are already failing. Luckily there was a halt in the demon advance; tomorrow we are going to send some of our soldiers in the front line. I… I'm going with them." the young woman wearing a long gown and a white veil over her face said.

Her eyes are looking at the horizon while thinking of something.

"I… I want to come, but… It would be useless for me to go there." The young man said.

Qin Lou turned her gaze towards Shin Jiao and smiled. In these few months that they have stayed together, her heart was calm but she felt that Shin Jiao has changed a bit. Although she sometimes felt that something is different, yet she could not put her mind into it.

The changes in Shin Jiao's attitude from being serious and a research freak into someone who likes to slack off and would annoy almost every woman in the City Hall made her feel uncomfortable. But when he whispered words of love and devotion towards her, it would always make Qin Lou's heart beat faster making her feel that Shin Jiao truly loves her.

As someone without experience in the relationship between a man and a woman, Qin Lou is easy to coax with just sweet words and flattery especially coming to the person she loves.

Shin Jiao slowly moves behind Qin Lou as he slowly immerses himself in her body's natural fragrant scent while gently hugging her from behind. He could not contain the fire of lust inside him and wanted to truly make love to this woman whose body, temperament and strength can only be called perfect.

Although she says that her face is covered with an ugly scar, Shin Jiao didn't care anymore. The more time he spends with her, the more his heart yearns for her love and body. She is unlike any other woman that he had before. Those pompous and pampered women he has met in his travel could not be compared to this woman in his arm.

"Shin Jiao, oh Shin Jiao. What an unlucky bastard you are leaving this treasure in here uneaten and unattended. As someone with the same name as you, I will fulfill this duty and conquer her in your stead. Hehe…"  Shin Jiao thought in his mind as a smirk appears on his face.

He then slowly bends his head and gave Qin Lou a kiss behind her neck as he slowly savors the fragrant aroma of her body.

Qin Lou did not expect that Shin Jiao would do this and was a little flustered, but she has already committed herself to love only this guy and none else. If he truly wanted her body, then Qin Lou would not hesitate to give him what he wants.

As Shin Jiao's hand began to caress her slowly, Qin Lou could not help but feel a slight shiver down her spine. The tingling feeling of being touch by the man she loves for the first time made her expect more.

When Shin Jiao's hand was about to reach for her twin peaks, a sudden knock on the door sounded.

Knock! Knock!

Shin Jiao immediately knitted his brow in annoyance as Qin Lou suddenly remove herself in Shin Jiao's embrace.

"Sister Qin, its Sister Ruby… can… can I have a word with you." a small voice from the door sounded.

Ruby Lee or Serpent said behind the door as she tried to catch her breath.

"Come in."

When she opens the door, she saw Shin Jiao and Qin Lou standing on the rooftop of the building. When her eyes saw Shin Jiao a sneer secretly appear on her face.

This is because she was commanded by Qian Li to protect, Qin Lou by all means against the hands of their master. This is because their suspicion is actually growing towards him.

But who would have thought that Shin Jiao caught Ruby Lee's expression? This immediately made him show a confused look on his face.
