The Geared Immortal

Desperation Part 2

/*unedited*/

Her mind is in a total mess as she is unable to think straight anymore. It seems that her life is slowly ebbing away from her as she tried to hold on to her consciousness. She knew that if she faints she would surely lose her life.

But what is the purpose of her life? Why does she need to live in this crazy and chaotic world?

These and many more questions envelop her consciousness as she struggles through the searing pain inside her head.

Suddenly, in the midst of her struggles, Agnes felt a warm hand holding her head and a sweet voice chanting some soothing words which suddenly alleviates her condition. Although the pain is still there, the words she is hearing is slowly taking it away.

Not long later, she slowly opens her eyes and the beautiful face of a young woman was shown. The young woman's facial feature is truly exquisite just like an elf, but the two silver horns on her forehead seem to enhance her already angelic face.

"Is she okay?" a concern familiar voice from the side interrupted her stupor.

"Yes, she is… I already removed the curse." Silvira said with a sigh of relief.

A few minutes ago, when Agnes began screaming in pain. Silvira immediately began to panic. But she didn't know what to do. However, when she saw Shin Jiao appearing she suddenly calms down.

Although Shin Jiao's figure looks bloody with many wounds, he seemed okay.

In her calm state, Silvira immediately began checking the body of Agnes but found nothing.

However, what Shin Jiao said gave her an idea of what to do.

Using his goggles, Shin Jiao was able to see a strand of smoke rampaging within Agnes's head dantian. This strand of smoke is actually not a parasite or a sickness, it was a curse.

When Shin Jiao told her about it, her silver horns suddenly glowed and a string of words enter her mind. So without a second thought, she began chanting those words and saw the changes in Agnes's body.

"I… Thank you," Agnes said as she extended her hand towards Silvira's cheek and caresses it gently.

"You two are my saviors… this is the best that I can do." She said with a smile.

As the three talked for a while, they didn't notice that something has already changed in their surroundings.

This is because… Almost all of the remaining demon army is actually standing around and looking at the three of them.

"Shin… What… what should we do now?" Agnes suddenly felt a little scared at the thousands of glowing eyes looking at them.

In her heart, it seems that the three could not avoid going all out in this battle. But she is confident because right now, the thing that has been constraining her mana seems to have banished.

…

Meanwhile in the front lines…

The number of deaths and the wounded are already countless, and the desert already bathed in a river of blood.

Above the sky, the figure of the current demon king, Belfast is looking at the opposite side. The king of the beast clan along with the 2nd prince and the rest of the cultivators are also looking back at the demon king with his huge flying army behind him.

"So, these are the powerful being of your combined forces? It seems that this would be a glorious battle." Belfast said while liking his purple lips with his long slender tongue.

The other pure demons are also looking at the human in front of them with an eager look on their eyes and in haste to battle. They have been looking forward to fighting against the strong opponents and they disdain to join the battle on the ground because they think that those are just for weaklings.

"Demon! Today, we will annihilate you and your kind. We will eliminate you for entering our holy land!" shouted Hai Borak with an imposing manner of an emperor.

"Hahaha… that's what you said before. But still, you and your beast clan army fled from our presence. And now you dare say those words again? Haha… Foolish… too foolish. Today I will show you the difference between our strength." Belfast shouted as he drew out a long spear.

"You are just some random general claiming to be the king… Last time, without your demon queen, do you think we would have lost to you? Ha! But now that she is not around, we will see who the winner is…" Hai Borak sneered.

"Enough talk!" Belfast shouted.

Mentioning about the demon queen in Belfast's reverse scale. In truth, he was only able to usurp the throne because he did some underhanded method.

The demon queen is truly a terrifying existence in the demon army. But she was not exposed in battle in the mage continent as the old demon king was too protective of his wife.

However, upon their arrival in this land, he saw the true strength of the demon queen and it was a threat to him. Hence he did everything he can to usurp the throne and kill the demon queen, but it didn't happen.

But now, everything is different because he already knew that she should be dead by now.

With calm eyes, Belfast looks at the opposing army and suddenly made his move.

In a blink of an eye, he suddenly appears in front of Hai Borak and waved his long spear that is now glowing in golden color.

"Die!" shouted Belfast.

Although caught off guard, Hai Borak didn't bother to dodge but instead punches towards the incoming spear. On his hand is a strange glove with glowing runes.

Bang!!! Boom!!!

The clash of two powerful figures sent ripples of powerful energy waves around them pushing both armies. Some even fell to the ground as their minds were affected by the energy wave.

With that signal, the two opposing armies floating in the air immediately clashed as they shout and growled while charging towards each other.

Not long later, the armies on the ground who seems to have been exhausted while fighting head-on felt that something is dropping from the skies. And then everyone was stunned to see the sky began to rain with blood.

Then falling figures of both cultivators and demons bombarded the battlefield.

However, the situation is clear in the eyes of the onlookers.

In this war, the demons are already at the advantage. But no one wanted to give up.

…

Two days have passed…

The war has already been going on for two days. And the number of the dead began piling up.

The millions of demons on the ground and in the air have already dwindled by half, while the allied forces continue pushing through with many also dying.

Because of strategy and lots and lots of pills the allied forces were able to hold their ground against the demon army.

Today, the war seems to have stopped as the two forces agreed to take a step back.

Belfast had a gloomy expression on his face as many of the pure ones have died. Plus his generals have already been halved. However, in truth, he is laughing inside his black heart. Because according to their calculation, the 100 thousand demon army they sent to attack the forts would be back today.

He gave Harval a secret scroll he has taken from the demon queen's chamber. Since the demon queen loves to research on gates and portal using black magic. She developed this prototype using the mana refineries as a power source.

However, since it is dangerous this was not tested because of the objection from the other pure demons. But Belfast knew that the scroll would actually work. Demon Queen Agnes is a brilliant demon which Belfast coveted for a very long time. But the previous demon king was truly stupid to just keep away such a woman.

But of course, it is no use crying for spilled milk. Since she is already dead, then he can just smirk.

Today was the day the second army would attack and he could not wait to see the look on those stupid fools' faces. When he suggested the retreat, the fools actually agreed. So he is already laughing deep in his heart.

"I will defeat your army today. Hihihi… It's time to rule all of this land!" muttered Belfast with an evil grin on his handsome demonic face.

Then at noon, the armies began to gather once again for the final battle.

As everyone gathers, everyone is now on the red colored sand. Belfast's tall figure and the huge dark creatures behind him are exuding a strong aura.

Suddenly within their ranks, multiple figures appear. It seems that those who died in battle have come back to life. And behind those figures are the many dark fiends.

So the demon army's numbers were bolstered by another level. Which made the cultivators and the beast clan suddenly felt a bit of fear within their hearts.

"Damn it! How can this be?"

"Is this our end?"

"We've been fighting for a long time and cut their numbers by half. But this… this is already impossible."

The sound of desperation can be heard on the allied force's army.

But their desperation didn't end up here.

Because right at this time they suddenly detected a space ripple coming from behind their ranks. The warship floating in the air and their crews were struck with fear.

Because from that space ripple, a huge gate opened and out came countless numbers of the demon army.

"Hahaha… Beast clan and humans! Prepare to die!" the booming voice of Belfast echoed throughout the silent battlefield.

The already fatigued and tired allied forces immediately wanted to step back but how can they? Right now they are sandwiched between two demon armies with murderous glares in their eyes.

"Maybe this is our end?" Qian Li muttered while sitting inside her Immortal Gear.

"Shin… Please… Please be safe." Qin Lou muttered as she stood in front of the remaining forces from Shin County.

Her heart could not help but be saddened. In this war, she fought bravely thinking that the two of them would still meet and be together after this. But now after seeing the presence of the countless demons appearing behind their lines, she felt gloomy and sad.

Everyone's feeling is depressed contrary to the wild expressions of the demons. In this war and in every war they raise, the demons do not take prisoners…

Every one of their enemies should be killed.

And now the end is near… and the final battle will now begin.
