Chapter 735 - Journey to the Osmond clan (2)

Chapter 735

(Unedited)

…

The town of Gimli is one of the outskirts towns under the capital city of Omin where the Osmond clan main leaders reside. The town is only a few kilometers away from the capital which is a bit close. However, it is considered as one of the abandoned towns because of the village around it not producing enough immortals from other worlds and some were even moved to another place.

Hence the town relies mostly on its own people and its own population to grow. But the resources they received from the family are what cause the town to deteriorate and fall to this degree.

At this time that the demon appeared, the town has really fallen to desperation. They didn't know if they could fight against the demon as of this moment.

As the large figure appears above, the people in the town tremble.

The barrier protecting the town has just been destroyed by the demon and this made everyone fear what would happen next.

Many who still wanted to fight began to gather and prepare themselves to fight a losing battle. However, they would never surrender to a demon.

"HIhihi… Human… tremble before me! I will make sure to capture each of you and become my slaves… Hahaha…" the demon laughed maniacally.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #%!d(string=13180047806027405)/journey-to-the-osmond-clan-(2)_%!d(string=51621570392671982) for visiting.

The hearts of everyone are gripped with fear. Though they knew they would not die, the most horrible thing about this is being a slave. If they are turned into immortal slaves, then they would be working under their master with abuse and torment for eternity.

That would mean suffering more than they could imagine.

"We won't let you get away with this demon! We will fight with us all!" shouted someone from the crowd.

Following his words, the rest of the people began taking out their weapons to face the enemy.

Shin Jiao on the other hand watches to the side as he also takes out his weapon. Alea Zin and the rest of the people in the caravan also join with the people in facing the demonic threat.

As they are preparing to fight something suddenly hits the town's gate with a loud bang.

Then from the ruins of the gates, a large shadow creature could be seen. It looks like a wolf with two heads and its back is covered with blackish sturdy-looking scales.

Awoo!!!

With the howl from the shadow creature, the demon suddenly showed a sinister smile on his ugly face. But the demon suddenly vanished from his spot without a trace. Everyone was flabbergasted and did not know where the demon went.

"Damn it! Where is that bastard!" shouted someone as everyone also cursed while looking around.

"Let's handle the shadow creatures first!" someone suggested.

Then a group went towards the gate to face the giant shadow creature.

Shin Jiao was also surprised that the demon actually escaped. So without a second thought, he suddenly takes out a binocular and began scanning the surroundings. And true to his suspicion, the demon actually did not vanish by is currently using a stealth technique to hide from the humans.

He is currently standing above a roof while watching the people below.

Shin Jiao did not think twice as he takes out his rifle.

When Alea Zin saw his weapon she showed a confused look on her face. But she just stood by Shin Jiao while watching the surroundings.

The battle by the gate intensified as the people not only face the wolf-like shadow creature but also more shadow creatures appear.

However, something baffled her at this point. She could see that the shadow creatures are actually not afraid of the light that the town produces. It's as if that light has no effect on them anymore.

While this is happening, Shin Jiao has already adjusted the scope and set his sight on the enemy at the roof.

Bang!

The loud sound of the rifle startled everyone. Even the demon on the roof was alarmed and turned his gaze to the sound. However, it was too late as before he could move his head, it was blown back as soon as he heard the sound.

Everyone saw a figure flying in the air and falling to another roof, then rolling towards the ground.

As the demon fell to the ground, golden blood suddenly pours out of its head that seems to look like a helmet rather than a head.

From the get-go and in his sight, Shin Jiao knew that the demon is actually an elf.

"Guess they have infiltrated the human territories from those fallen fortresses…" Shin Jiao muttered as he kept his rifle.

"Let's help them fend off the shadow creatures…" Shin Jiao said as the rest of the people runs towards the gate.

Meanwhile, the local lord from the town of Gipard has a complicated look on his face as he realized that what Shin Jiao killed was actually a lord level demon. He knew that if he fights against this young immortal, then he would not be able to survive with those weird gears he uses.

…

The next day, the caravan continues traveling towards the capital city of Omin while the town folks waved them goodbye.

The journey this time was a bit smoother as the caravan arrives in the capital city without any hitch.

Shin Jiao was greeted with a magnificent view of the capital city of Omin.

Compared to the other city, the city of Ta'al, which he has visited before, Omin city has three times the land area but ten times more imposing.

"This city is huge…" one of the gold armored protectors escorting the caravan muttered.

"No matter how many times I come back to this place, it really amazes me how huge it is."

"This is the capital city of Omin…" Alea Zin began to tell the story about the city.

Shin Jiao learned that the city is controlled by the Osmond clan. Almost half of the city is owned by the Osmond clan where whose main territory is in the middle city.

A tall black castle that is taller than the rest of the buildings in the city stood aloft bearing the power of the Osmond clan.

And leading the clan are the ten heads of the Osmond clan. All of them are saint ruler level powerhouses.

As Shin Jiao listens, he knew that Alea Zin could not escape her fate by being married off to one of the scions of the clan.

As the caravan enters the huge city, they saw hundreds of thousands of people on the street. Many are travelers and vendors selling their goods. And there are also many who are buying them.

After an hour of travel, they soon arrived in front of a large estate. At the top of the gate of the estate, the word 'Zin' could be seen. This signifies that this place is the territory of the Zin family.

They were greeted by a snobbish looking man wearing a loose gray robe. While looking at Shin Jiao on the side while standing beside Alea Zin, the snobbish looking man threw a suspicious gaze at Alea Zin.

"The master is displeased with the young miss… I hope you prepared an explanation about this," he added while glaring at Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao did not bother with him as he just stood there without minding anyone and just looks curiously at the mansion behind the gate.

"Follow me, young miss… the rest of you can leave now." the snobbish man said with a wave of his hand.

The rest of the escort of the caravan showed a displeased look on their faces but they could not do anything about it. With a dejected look on their faces, everyone retreated, even the local lord who escorted the caravan left.

Alea on the other hand showed a complicated look on her face.

"Master Si Ji… Thank you for everything that you have done so far… I guess… I guess this is… goodbye." She said with a low voice.

"You're welcome, Miss Zin… However, I just want you to remember something. Your fate always lays in your hand. Whether you live or die, happy or sad, lonely or… with friends. It's for you to decide." Shin Jiao said with a knowing smile as he turns around and walks away.

"If you truly decide, then call me… I'll be there to help…" he added while waving his hand in the air.

Those who heard and saw his words and action… frowns.

"What a c.o.c.ky bastard!"

"Let's teach him some manners…"

"How could he just blabber his mouth in front of the Zin family…"

However, all of those are just words and no one dare make their move. In the city, fighting is not permitted especially on the road. This is an explicit rule which is strictly observed by the families and the clans.

Deputes between people and clans would always be resolve in the arena. This way one can decide properly on who the stronger side is and who the one to dictate what is right is.

Shin Jiao did not stay longer and just went to a random inn where he began to think of the things he has learned and discover from their trip.

"It seems that the human race is at the brink of being subdued…" he thought as he learned what had happened in the front lines and the fall of some of the fortresses.

However, he could not do anything about it. What can a single person do? There are many people who are more powerful than him? He couldn't even help his friend.

While thinking to this point, Shin Jiao lies down on the bed and slowly thinks of a solution to help Alea if ever she asked for his assistance.

But before he could think deeply, the door of the inn he is staying in was suddenly kicked open.
