The Geared Immortal

Chapter 698

(Unedited)

…

A tall woman looks at everyone in the room with a sinister gaze. She has been imprisoned by the high elves for many years now and was forced to labor for them. It is said that the high elves have the ability to create powerful weapons and artifacts. However, this only true because of the enchantments they imbued their weapons with.

However, the strength and style of craftsmanship that the high elves use are boring and obsolete.

Millions of years ago the high elven ancestors discover a clan of the human race, which is unknown from other humans, living on a small planet and is able to create powerful artifacts. These humans have the ability to easily grasp anything when it comes to crafting.

Runes and arrays are second nature to them and it was as if they are born to be such beings that are created just to make artifacts.

However, in that discovery, a war ensued and the planet where those humans lived was destroyed. And those few who were able to survive now lived in hiding.

They are spread all over the universe and the high elves have been secretly searching for these human craftsmen ever since.

And right now, one of them is the tall woman chained before the emperor of the high elven race.

Luna Halil was born on a planet called Jik. It is a small planet just like earth but is filled with beauty and very bountiful. The planet only has the human race living on it and it is a primitive planet.

While living there, she stumbled upon a secret. It was a secret of her ancestry. From there she learned about her origin and the war that happened millions of years ago which destroyed the home planet of her ancestors.

However, this is of no concern to her as she likes her life right now. However, she soon learned that she is different from others. She learns really fast and new things are easy for her to understand. She was even astounded that she is able to learn the ancient and unique language of her ancestors.

And from there she learned about the stars and the universe which truly pique her interest. She began to follow the path to immortality and since then became the strongest being on her planet. She became its hero.

She started making artifacts for her people and they grew and waxed strong. As her planet's technology advances as the years went by, she decided to watch and would interfere in times of need.

However, one day, a being suddenly appears and took her from her planet.

She was brought to a border village near the high elven territory. And through her ingenuity and creativeness, she began to create objects and enhance the lives of the peasants in that village. However, she did not know that she was discovered by some of the elven spies watching the human village.

That was the first village to fall in the hands of the elven race which almost sparked a war between the humans and the high elves.

Getting their hands on their target, the high elves began sending envoys to the humans as an act of their cooperation and friendship.

That was the start, and thousands of years have passed since then.

"What is it again… your majesty…" Luna Halil said with a sarcastic tone.

The emperor suddenly threw a silver sphere that rolled on the ground and landed directly on her feet.

"What is this? What have you done?" the high elven emperor asked with a cold tone.

"Hihi… Oh, this… I thought you asked for a powerful weapon for your race. I have been making these kinds of weapons ever since hundreds of thousands of years ago… I could not even remember how many I have crafted… Why are you asking this now?"

"You said that the demon contained inside these weapons is unable to break our will… But why is it that…" a high elf wearing an official robe suddenly steps forward with a rebuking tone?

The rest of the high elven officials also began to point their finger in anger at Luna.

"Haha… I don't know what you are talking about?" she suddenly said with an innocent look in her eyes.

But the elves inside the hall knew that she is mocking them.

"We were all tricked by her… She was planning this from the start. We must kill her now!" said a female elf as she suddenly steps forward and a blade transformed from her wrist.

But as the blade transformed it suddenly made her wince in pain but she held it back while taking a step closer to the chained female human.

"Tell us how to reverse this thing or I will send you to your eternal damnation." The female elf said as she walks slowly.

Each step causes her pain and everyone could see the beads of sweat forming on her fair and beautiful face which is slowly turning ugly.

"Stop… you should not use the weapon…" a male high elf said with concern laden in his eyes.

But the female elven wielding her weapon did not stop her movement. Their race has fallen into a trap set by this human. For many years now, they are already used to using their customized weapon, and their souls are intertwined with them.

Who would have expected that the said weapons which have already proven themselves on the battlefield against the demons and shadow beings would be the doom of their race? Now they knew that it was only their folly and pride that has to lead them this path.

The high elves have already gained too much prestige and honor due to those weapons, and now, how could they accept that it was all a trap. Even the saint rulers of the high elven clan did not even foresee this outcome. This is because they are confident that they could control the demon inside those weapons.

"Let me handle this… If we could not find a way, then we would be the sinner of our race…" the elven woman said while trying to grit her teeth.

But as soon as she took another step, she suddenly halted. Then her face and body began changing.

The chained woman showed a grin on her face.

"The powerful you are, the same goes for your weapon… Hihihi… Your will is weak… and you will be consumed." She suddenly said while chuckling.

Before the high elves in the hall could say anything, the elven woman suddenly howled like a beast. Then her figure suddenly turned into a creature with a bat's head and a yellow butterfly's body. Six long and sharp legs that look like spears grew out of her body.

"Ah… The true self… Beautiful on the outside, ugly on the inside… Kiki…" the woman said with a sneer.

Suddenly, the now demonized elven lord and minister of the high elven emperor brandished its long spear-like legs and attack the elves in the hall.

However, it did not succeed as a sphere suddenly enclosed it.

The powerful elven emperor gesture his hand and the sphere enclosure flew out of the hall breaking its sturdy wall.

Then the emperor suddenly clenches his fist as the sphere was sent upwards as it grew smaller.

Everyone saw the sphere disappearing as it grew smaller crushing the demon inside of it. Everyone in the hall is now filled with fear. They knew that they could not use their special weapons anymore, plus they also have to deal with the humans who have discovered their secret.

But they did not have time to think about this anymore. They must know how to stop this from happening or else their race would be doomed.

In this troublesome matter that the elven race is facing, the one responsible for it has a happy expression on her face. Luna Halil knew why she is being kept alive. And that is because the elves still wanted to find a way out of this predicament.

But if they could discover another gruesome fact about the demonization curse she put in those weapons, then they would surely kill her.

This is because the demonization is somewhat permanent. Unless they knew someone who could tamper with a soul, and also a member of her clan, then maybe, just maybe their whole race could survive this.

As she was thrown inside the dark cell, Luna looks at its ceiling and a smile crept on her face.

"Ancestors, I will take this revenge to heart. They have kept me in prison for thousands of years and worked me like a slave… I promise to make them pay for destroying our clan. And for treating me this way…" she muttered with a glint of determination in her eyes.

…

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao and his gang have once again boarded the airship and departed from the city of Ta'al. Unknown to him, due to his intervention, the city of Ta'al accidentally discovers a way to reverse the curse that Luna has inflicted on the whole race of the high elves.

But how could they just give it to them? This discovery is far more useful to the human race. With the use of the morphing weapons and having its own will that is the same as the wielder, the human race would rise above the stage in the battle against the demons and the shadow beings.

With a weapon that cannot be affected by any divine or demonic will, they would be unstoppable on the battlefield.

But this is not of Shin Jiao's concern for now.

As their group traverses the vast land using their airship, a large creature suddenly appears on their path. The large creature looks like a dragon and on top of it sat a tall and sturdy man.

His eyes are looking directly at the people on the ship and a glow of greed could be seen on them. Plus that thing that made the man scary is its level. Everyone in the ship could feel a great pressure coming from the man who is a high lord, and its mount which is a black dragon lord.

"Everyone, prepare to fight!" shouted Jin Jo Long.

After bathing and meditating in the immortal river within the special area of Ta'al city for a few days.. The three lords in the ship seem to have the confidence to face against a powerful high lord bandit.
