The Geared Immortal

The downfall of a kingdom Part 2

/*unedited*/

Bzzt!!!

The blinding flash was followed by a strong wave of white energy that began to spread from the young female demon with white horns. She began to float in the air while the hand that was grabbing her neck a while ago has begun to smoke and burn with fire.

Arrgghh!!!

Harval cried as his hand along with his whole body began to be covered with smoke.

Holy energy is like a strong catalyst that has a strong allergic reaction to a demon's body. Although it would not kill them instantly, the exposure alone would cause them to feel extreme burning pain all over their bodies and weaken their dark powers.

As Shin Jiao and Agnes saw the situation the two immediately began to move. Shin Jiao threw a grenade high up to the air while his figure dashes towards Silvira who is immersed in the feeling of having cultivated her own power for the first time.

He extended his black sword and slashed towards Black Guard standing on the stairs blocking his way. With a swift move, he dashes forward and then quickly jumps to the air.

Although Harval is in pain he saw what happened and the dashing figure of a demon wearing an old cloak. He was stunned upon seeing that figure, but it was too late as he is still unable to move while gritting his teeth in pain.

"Damn you mages!" Harval shouted.

He didn't know why but in his experience as a soldier only mages can do as such. After shouting, he quickly dashes backward and jumps through a window escaping the horrid place.

Shin Jiao wanted to kill that captain but he has already escaped so he redirected towards Silvira. He immediately grabbed her and followed towards the window where Harval exited.

Silvira was stunned after feeling someone carrying her and slowly opens her eyes. She saw a young handsome demon with dark features and was astonished because he seems to be unaffected by her holy power.

Shin Jiao just smile at her.

"Don't worry. I will take you to safety." He said with a calm smile as their figure dashed along the small alley.

Without her, the holy energy immediately dispersed through the air and the demons recovered from their suffering. However, suddenly a small circular object fell from the air and before it could land at the level of where the Black Guards are standing above the walls, it exploded with another white light.

Boom!!!

This stunned everyone and another wave of painful shouting reverberated through the air. But the painful cries didn't come from the demon refugees. Instead, they were the cries of the Black Guards who just recovered.

Their armors are riddled with small holes with demon blood gushing out from it.

The whole area began to panic as the refugees began escaping out of that place. The stampede of the pure ones was too terrifying that some of them were trampled to death. The horrifying scene in this place where hundreds of refugees have been gathered became chaotic as the refugees began running everywhere.

…

"What is happened out there?!" shouted a demon general who is closer to the gate of the city.

"It seems that there is a refugee that used holy energy to attack the Black Guard, general."

"What? How can that be? We are all demons here… Don't tell me…" the demon general said as a grim look on his expression appears.

As a demon general, he was informed that the demon queen might be using some tactics to attack the demon cities in their territory. They have already commanded to stop the processing of the mana refineries on all the demon cities. This way the demoted demon queen could not strike them down anymore using their own refineries.

"Go to the palace and report this to the demon lord. We need to prepare for contingencies. It seems that the demon queen Agnes has already reached our new capital city." commanded the general.

The demon soldier beside him immediately ran outside.

"Demon queen Agnes, although we defeated her by joining together and poisoning her body. We still lost many powerful demon soldiers in that battle. I hope that the new demon lord will be able to stop her and kill her this time."

While musing inside the office, the demon general suddenly feels that there is another presence inside his office. As someone who has been at war for many years, his ability to detect danger is also top-notch.

"Who… Who goes there?" the demon general shouted.

But no one answered. Only silence engulfed the whole room. This immediately gave the demon general a dangerous premonition of impending danger.

Without a word, he immediately grabs his battle-ax leaning on the side of his chair. The black gleaming battle-ax has already claimed countless lives as it emits a dense death aura.

The demon general carefully looks around the room, but he could not detect any presence. However, his senses are going haywire as he can truly perceive that a dangerous being is inside the room.

"I may be imagining things…" he muttered.

"…"

"No, you're not." A voice suddenly said near his ears as if it was a whisper from a person just inches away from him.

He can even smell the sweet fragrance of a woman wafting beside him. In the corner of his eyes, he saw the silhouette of a beautiful human with a sweet smile on her face.

However, as he turns his head around, he saw… no one.

"Who… Get out of here! Face me!" shouted the demon general as he held his battle-ax in front of him ready to face his opponent.

"General, why are you so agitated… Tell me, is the new Demon King treating you well?" a cold voice echoed throughout the room.

"You… you are Demon Queen… Agnes." The demon general said as his eyes are filled with fear.

However, he could not move anymore a he suddenly feels that something cold entered his body. This cold feeling seems to have numb the pain, but the strength of his body has already left him as his vision goes dark.

Then the figure of Agnes appears from the shadows as she coolly wipes the blood off her fingers. Wearing the camouflage cloak her presence was undetected.

"That's one down and plenty to go…" she muttered with an evil smile on her beautiful face.

She then walks out of the office and silently closes the door, and then she donned the hood on her head and suddenly disappears through the corridor.

On that day, many of the main force leaders of the army of the pure demons have been eliminated. Before this news reached the demon king's ears it was already too late. Agnes has truly made her move in illuminating the generals of the demons. Thus this weakens the strength of the demons. Without these generals to command the armies on the front line, the demon forces became chaotic.

"Damn it!"

Bang!

The long sturdy table was pulverized with that punch from Belfast. His strength was truly terrifying being the number one general of the demon army. He wanted to quickly find Agnes and choke her to death because of his extreme anger, right at this time someone came into the throne room.

"Demon King! We have received news that the human are starting to form their armies at the borders. It seems that they are going to attack us, my king!" shouted the soldier.

This turned Belfast's expression grim. He has already lost 80% of his generals at this time. And some of those who were able to survive are unfit for battle. But as the Demon King, he has no choice but to face the human army in this war.

"It seems that this is the final army of humans. But how come they became so courageous today? Hmmm…" Belfast muttered as he muses.

Then a sudden realization dawned into him.

"That b*tch is colluding with the humans? That traitorous snake! I will kill her! I will rip her bones out of her body… Grrr…" shouted Belfast in anger.

He suddenly went wild as he began to smash things in front of him to bend his frustrations. The remaining demon generals were dumbfounded as not only the strong table was pulverized. Even the ancient demon ornaments were broken by the demon king.

"All of you! Prepare for war!" shouted Belfast as he walked in stride outside of his throne room.

…

Meanwhile, in front of the forts, many cultivators and beast-men are already forming their ranks. They have already received a long-range message from Shin Jiao that they have infiltrated the demon capital and have eliminated most of the generals.

This report astounded everyone in the top echelon. However, they are also filled with fear at the power of those two. Although they are not sure if it is true or not, yet if this is really true then those infiltrators are terrifying.

How could two people be the cause of the downfall of a strong and powerful demon kingdom? It seems impossible, but no one can deny that it is terrifying if it is true.

So to confirm this, the generals and the leaders of the combined forces of humans and beast clan decided to end the war once and for all.

As the growing army in the front lines began boarding the warships towards to advance to the borders of the demon territory, the demons are also gathering their forces with the remaining demon generals to face the combined forces of the cultivators and the beast clan.

Who would win against this final war between the two races, will the new demon kingdom fall or will Beastia fall into the hands of the demons once and for all?

In these uncertain times, three figures are standing at the top of a tower inside the demon city. Shin Jiao, Agnes, and their new recruit, Silvira.

"I guess it's time…" Shin Jiao said with a calm smile on his face while looking at the countless number of demons and its allied forces on the ground.
