Chapter 732 - The battle at the front

Chapter 732

(Unedited)

…

The blacksmith shop is still not in business and everything in the shop is in disarray. Because of fear and anxiety, many people came to the shop and tried to steal some of its stuff hoping that it would help them able to escape this dangerous predicament.

Some are even led by local town lords as they tried to attack the shop. The formation arrays have been ruined and everything is a mess.

But no matter what they do, they could not find the people or the items inside the blacksmith shop. And this made those who attacked the shop feel ashamed of their action as the situation in the town subsided.

They even volunteer to fix it but still, the people and the items in it did not appear once again.

Meanwhile, Alea Zin is currently inside a well-decorated room and her clothes have already been changed.

Instead of wearing her usual scout uniform and her golden armor, she is now wearing a white gown and with hair ornaments making her look like a beautiful fairy.

As she stood calmly while looking outside the window, Alea Zin's heart is calm and collected.

On her hand, she is holding a small pouch while gripping it tightly.

"This is my last chance… I will show them that I am someone not to be trampled with." She muttered while her eyes landed on the pouch in her hand.

A faint smile appears on her face as she looks at the pouch as it seems that some kind of memory flashes from her eyes.

The night is tranquil and everything seems calm now in the town.

However, everyone knew that not too far from this place war is happening. Alea chooses to surrender to Ryujin Osmond so that Shin Jiao and the rest would not be implicated in her matters. And so, she stayed in town in the meantime.

"I hope that master Si Ji would be fine." She muttered.

"No, he will be fine… he always does…"

As Alea Zin gazes at the creeping darkness on the horizon, she slowly heaves a deep sigh.

…

Meanwhile, in the front lines, two figures floating in the air are facing against a number of high lords from the enemy army.

Ryujin Osmond's body is glowing with power as he wields his divine spear. Meanwhile, beside him is the dragonkin Grukal. Although the condition of exchange between the two is already done, Grukal did not leave the town.

In fact, ever since he discovers some of the artifacts that the humans wield he became interested in crafting.

For the whole journey towards the human fortress, he has been bothering Shin Jiao and the other craftsmen with tons of questions.

As a dragonkin, his skill is a bit unpolished and rough, plus his control of universal energy is a bit destructive. This is one of the particular traits of the dragon race.

They are powerful and almighty, but their Dao is always the Dao of destruction. But Grukal seems to be different.

He began his travel in the premise to gain strength. But there is a hidden truth behind that reason. The fact that he is already strong, he aims to be able to control his destructive tendencies.

Though he is not the first dragon to go on a journey to do this, yet he is one of the most persistent ones.

His journey has already taken him hundreds of years across the borders of every race, and yet he was not successful.

One time he tried asking the dwarves for their crafting technique. But he finds it a bit rough and lacks finesse. The elves on the other hand have finesse but lack power. And so he continues on his travels until he discovers that faint aura from the human lands.

As he wields the finely crafted spear in his hand and feeling the subtle yet strong power coursing through his body, he knew that he found what he is looking for.

"High Elven and Zith'ra sc.u.ms… I am Grukal of the red-scaled dragon clan of the titan dragon race. I am here to assist the humans to stop this lunacy…" Grukal shouted in his loud draconic voice even though he is still in human form.

"Haha… A vagabond little red dragon… I would advise you to go home. Though we are not a match for the dragon race, we would not be easily defeated by a single dragon." shouted a blue-skinned giant from the Zith'ra race.

"Haha… You are already cornered and trapped. What else could you do to struggle?"

The expressions of every soldier in the combined enemy army turned ugly as they knew of their predicament.

Who would have known that the 100,000 soldiers they left to trap the town would fall? Who would have expected a high lord dragonkin would appear right at this moment? Plus it seems that the dragonkin was bought to side with the humans.

"Grukal! I warn you… if you interfere further, we will inform the dragon council about this. We shall see if you can escape your punishment?" a high elven lord shouted in anger.

"Haha… You talk too much. Do you know that the other races are looking down on your filthy race? High Elves… Pfft… I would rather befriend the dark elves than be with you phonies."

When the high elves heard this, they all became angry. Within the elven race, there are many kinds of elves. Although the high elves were considered as the rulers and heads of the Elven Empire, the other races like forest elves, dark elves, and etc. coexisted with the rest.

However, in this war, only the high elves and their close kind came to battle and did not include some elven races.

Plus, the high elves considered the dark elves to be the lowest of the entire elven race. And it was an insult to compare them to those low lives.

And so this angered the army of the high elves along with their leaders more.

Without warning, a high lord from the elven race suddenly brandishes his sword and attacked Grukal. Then another high lord elf followed behind as he chanted some spells.

Grukal just watches the two and did not react.

That was until the one with the sword suddenly created hundreds of powerful wind blades which flew like guided missiles towards Grukal's position.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of the explosion reverberated through the air and this started the large-scale conflict.

Below them, the large human army from Gipard town and the army from the fortress simultaneously attacked the combined army of the two enemy races.

Shin Jiao joined the battle as he easily takes down the enemy using his sniper rifle while hiding from the back of the army.

His target is the leaders of the enemy forces. This way, the command would be disrupted and would end in the defeat of the enemy forces.

"One… two… three…"

"Fifteen… twenty…"

Shin Jiao counted as he takes his air and began shooting the enemy in his sight. He just acted like a regular brute and did not gain attention from the enemy. However, after taking down more than fifty enemy commanders and generals, the High Elves and Zith'ra command noticed this bizarre occurrence on the battlefield.

However, they were already too late. Their army is now in disarray and even with the presence of more than five high lords; they were still unable to defeat their enemy.

As the battle ensues, many from both sides died and some disappear from the battlefield. Meanwhile, others did not and many small boxes could be seen scattered around the bloody battleground.

Shin Jiao would collect these boxes whenever he would come across them as he knew what those are.

A day has passed since the deadly battle began and now darkness is slowly covering the skies. The area in front of the fortress is now in ruins as the land was torn asunder due to the powerful force from the high lords battling in the air.

Those who are eliminated due to the crossfire amongst these powerhouses could consider themselves unlucky.

However, the fighting still did not stop as the sky turned dark and the light from the power emitted by the energy of each fighter illuminated the darkness.

At this time, Shin Jiao suddenly flew to the side and decided to try his new suit. With the darkness as his cover, though he could still be seen he is confident that he would not be caught.

And so after donning in the mask, a computer-like voice of a female was heard.

'System is starting…'Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=13180047806027405)/the-battle-at-the-front_%!d(string=51505858588243367) for visiting.

After that, his vision suddenly turned bright as he could clearly see everything in front of him.

"This is the auto night vision mode." He muttered.

Then with a smile on his face, Shin Jiao directly activated the mask.

"Initialize armor activation…"

'Armor activation initializing…'

"Start!"

With that command, red vein-like membranes suddenly came out from behind the mask. As if living tentacles, the organic membranes suddenly wrapped around Shin Jiao's body covering him like a human figure without the outer skin.

Then after that, as the membranes hardened in just a second, a tough-looking plated exoskeleton covered Shin Jiao's vital parts.

He saw from his monitor that his body is now covered with the armor that he copied from the high elven demon suit. Now standing tall, he himself now looks like a white demon. After seeing his new vitals, Shin Jiao's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that if he uses his energy combined with the armor, his strength would reach by leaps and bounds. Heck, he might even be able to battle a lord level fighter. But of course, that is in the premise that it would not be a long battle.

Sensing his surrounding, Shin Jiao's eyes suddenly went wide in shock as he discovers a flying blade directed towards his head.
