The Geared Immortal

Chapter 973

(Unedited)

…

The students from the other school watching above the trees began to panic as they quickly back away. However, how could the White Bone monkeys let go of their prey? So the 10 monkeys began moving along with the 7 meters tall White Bone monkey king.

Wang Gao and his group lying on the ground were not even suspected by the White Bone monkeys as they just pass right through them.

When the White Bone monkeys walk right through the group of people lying on the ground. They suddenly sprang up and each of them activated their mana blades.

They quickly jump behind the White Bone monkeys and with a quick move, attack the monkeys behind their necks.

The ambush was almost perfect as one after another dead White Bone monkeys fell to the ground.

The king who is the most agile of all the monkeys noticed this and quickly jumps towards the nearby tree.

Roar!

With anger in its eyes, it glared at the humans who killed its kin.

"What beast? Do you want to fight? Come on!" suddenly Wang Gao shouted in provocation which immediately attracted the attention of the White Bone monkey king.

The big figure of Wang Gao made the White Bone monkey king glare at him in anger.

Roar!!!

It roared as it suddenly broke a thick branch.

The White Bone monkey brandished the thick branch like a club as it jumps to the ground.

At this time, the rest of the team of Wang Gao has already retreated to the side making space for the giant monkey king and Wang Gao to fight.

"It that guy crazy? He is not a warrior, he is a mage, why would he fight that monkey close range?"

"That is Wang Gao the stupid son of the Wang noble house. I heard that he could not conjure any spell even though he is a High Mage…"

"Really? Well, this is something to behold. I guess the Wang noble house will be losing an heir…"

The students from other schools watching from atop the trees have already returned and are discussing the battle that is about to happen. A mage is actually going to fight against a White Bone monkey king, how could they not see this fight?

They wanted to see how an Alto Magus Academy student gets killed and if ever his companions would help out. But what they did not expect are the reactions of his teammates.

"Hey big brother Gao how will it take this time?" a tall and square-faced student asked.

"I don't know… In the virtual world, I can take this bugger down in about 5 minutes… Well, that depends on the situation though…" Wang Gao replied while circling the giant beast.

"Okay, we will gather the other corpses first…"

"Good luck!"

"You can do it big brother Gao!"

His teammates cheered on him as they began dragging the corpses on the ground.

Their action thoroughly enraged the White Bone monkey king and several white bone armors could be seen protruding from its body. It now looks like a giant with bony armor and some spikes.

When Wang Gao saw this, he suddenly frowns.

But before he could say anything, the giant beast already rushed towards him. The beast targeted him because it judged that he is the strongest of the group, hence it needed to kill him first.

The ground shook as the White Bone monkey king ran towards Wang Gao.

Suddenly, Wang Gao's body began to glow and both of his arms turned golden.

"Is he going to only use his brawling skill in this battle?" a student with triangular eyes asked.

"He truly is a useless mage…"

"Damn… I guess the rumors are true, he is incapable of casting spells…"

The students from other schools murmured while watching the clash between Wang Gao and the White Bone monkey king.

Bam! Crack! Thump!

The sounds of ground being pummeled and the trees in the surroundings being crushed echoed in the air as a violent exchange began to happen.

The White Bone armor of the beast could withstand blows from swords and any spells, so it could withstand a mere fist.

However, the students noticed that the one at the disadvantage is actually the White Bone monkey king. They could now see it slowly staggering as if every hit that Wang Gao delivers would go past its armor.

Suddenly someone from the crowd gasped in disbelief.

"This… this Wang Gao is not simple. He could actually accurately hit in-between the armor joints!" the student exclaimed.

As everyone watches 3 minutes have already passed and the giant body of the White Bone monkey king suddenly fell to the ground. Although it is not dead yet it is already unconscious.

Then before everyone's eyes, the retrieval team rushes forward and suddenly takes out some kind of spiked weapon. Then a female mage accurately stabbed between the white bony plates of the beast's head and punctured its brain.

They then see a flash of electricity coming out of her hand.

The rest cast a spell which made the large giant body float in the air along with the rest of the White Bone monkey corpses.

Everyone looks at this scene with envy, yet they dare not make a move. They saw how strong Wang Gao is and how he seem to not even break a sweat after fighting against that giant.

They just watch with envious eyes as the team walks back to the temporary camp.

"We should be going too, we also needed to hunt." One student said after taking a last glance at the corpses.

The rest of the students from other schools nodded their heads and left the area.

"Hey big brother Gao, that was a very quick fight… You didn't even seem to break a sweat…" he remarked excitedly.

Wang Gao showed a faint smile on his face. However, he still could not believe that he was able to pull it off. It is said that only Arch Mages can hunt these giant creatures and it should be a coordinated attack of two or more Arch Mages.

However, he himself battled against it by himself, how strong could he really be right now? But of course, he did not get away scratch-free. Right now, although he is bearing with it, his left arm is already broken.

He quickly fishes out a pill from his pocket and immediately takes it.

Upon seeing this, the others realized that Wang Gao is actually pretending to be okay. But they did not say anything. They knew how powerful that thing is, and if they fought it themselves they needed at least twenty of them to defeat that thing with magic. But the White Bone monkey king's armor is resistant to magic, so bombardment and traps are the only way to defeat it.

As the students from Alto Magus Academy are returned near the temporary camp, they soon discovered that a few students from the other academy suddenly began rushing out of the bushes.

"Run! It's a high-level Giant Rock lizard!" shouted one student as he rushes ahead of the group.

Before his words would disappear, a group of students and elders along with adventurers has also rushed back trying their best to run ahead of the others behind them.

The ground could be heard and felt trembling as the trees could be seen flying in the air.

Loud cries of anguish could be heard in the air as one explosion after another echoed all over the forest.

"Retreat! Retreat!" shouted a general as the soldiers also began to rush out of the bushes.

It was all in a chaotic mess as the soldiers fall to the ground while running but would pick themselves up only to be trampled by the person behind them.

The students from the Alto Magus academy also began running while dragging the floating carcasses.

"Where are the others?" shouted Wang Gao when he saw someone from the other hunting team.

"They are already back at the temporary camp. They send me here to assist you guys!" said that student as he ran along with the group.

"Damn, what is happening right now?" Wang Gao asked with agitation in his tone.

"It's the other mercenaries… they used baits with pheromones. Lanxing found out about it…" the student said in a low voice.

"Damn those fools! Didn't they know that doing such a thing would cause a beast tide?!" Wang Gao wanted to curse those mercenaries to death, but then suddenly thought about something.

Though he did not want to involve himself in the politics and the troublesome matters of the capital, his father would always remind him to be wary of the noble houses. His father always tells him these days that he hopes for changes to happen. And that their noble house would be supporting the king.

Then something flashed in Wang Gao's mind. Even though he is not that intelligent when it comes to scheming, one could already smell the schemes of the noble house in this situation.

But before he can think further, he discovers the few large trees are already flying their way.
