War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 29

…

The Fortress of Lostier is a bastion that stood for many years even before the appearance of the demons. It is one of the infrastructures built hundreds of years ago even before the war with the demons started.

Near to the city of Evalence, it was once already considered a museum of the old days, but when the demons began to appear it became the center of military strategic and tactical operations within half of the country.

The influence of the demons and their threat activates the fortress and is now of great help to the fight against the demons until this day.

The fortress, in fact, has increased in size along with the height of its walls.

Inside, people could be seen bustling roundabout busy with their daily lives as if the threat outside is none of their concern.

Engine-driven cars, which look like that of the late 1920s, could be seen running down its streets.

These same cars could be seen outside the roads but are all wrecked and destroyed because of the war.

But here, they are running in good condition and are everywhere.

The bustling city is quite the size with a land area of around 10 square kilometers surrounded by tall walls. The city has been expanded over and over due to the increase of refugees.

With the help of the C-rank and B-rank awakened Shen, they are able to finally create a safer place for the people.

Plus, the air space around the city is protected by an array formation preventing the demons from invading it.

For some reason, the void gates have not appeared inside the city after the array formation was activated which then lessened the death tolls of the people inside and finally revitalized the city into what it is today.

In one of the city gates, the convoy of Xin Ja and the rest have finally arrived.

The line of carriages being pulled by that many mounts looks weird as it already is, but the thing that made everyone dumbfounded by the convoy is the long line of soldiers marching beside the carriages while wearing metallic suits.

Meanwhile, behind the convoy is a long metallic box with six sets of wheels on it.

Nothing is dragging that thing as it could run on its own. But what baffled everyone is that they could not hear the sound of a loud engine from it.

People began to flock through the streets watching this parade of soldiers clad in armored suits.

"I heard from the gates that they are from that snow village near the borders…" one of the onlookers said to the person next to him.

"Wow, did not expect that the borders have such a technology…" that person replied with an amazed expression.

"Those metal armors look heavy, that would tire them outright? Why would they do that while traveling?"

"That's where you are wrong… I was there at the gates when one of the soldiers said that being inside that thing is not tiring at all… it's like having a stronger body. Is what he said…"

"Wow, from the looks of it, they seem to have used those in fighting against the demons…"

"Yeah, look at that one with greenish blood all over its armor."

The onlookers began talking while pointing at the convoy.

Meanwhile, many of those too inside their cars look at this scene with dumbfounded and confused expressions.

Soon, the group finally reached the military barracks and was greeted with many eyes directed at them.

Cohan Vale walked out of one of the barracks from the 3rd floor and looks at the weird convoy.

"Did that Gun Mace finally perfect the armors?" he muttered as a glint of excitement filled his heart.

He did not wait and suddenly jumps down to the ground.

He did not land that hard as when he neared the ground, he suddenly floated like a feather.

He walked with the rest of the soldiers wanting to watch the spectacle before them.

The convoy began to line up in front of a middle-aged-looking guy wearing a dark green army uniform. As soon as they were all lined up, they immediately presented a salute.

"We greet the General, sir!" they all shouted in unison.

"At ease men…" the General said while waving his hand.

He began to scrutinize the soldiers which seem to be unhurt by the travel through the road. He is well aware of the danger of their mission and has expected many casualties to befall them. But from the number of soldiers in front of him, it seems that the casualties are not that high.

"All of you worked hard…" he said as he patted the shoulder of their leader.

"Thank you, sir!" the leader said as he saluted.

The General walked toward one of the suits and a curious look appeared on his face.

"What are these things…?" he asked inquisitively.

"These are called Goliath Suits, sir! It amplifies our combat prowess on many levels… Our F-ranks and E-ranks soldiers are now able to battle against any C-rank demons…" the leader began reporting.

The General nodded his head while listening and just showed a calm exterior. But deep inside his heart, he is already amazed at the armor before him.

He knew that if this armor is popularized in the army, then their soldiers will have a chance to fight against the demons.

His eyes landed on the few researchers standing behind the army.

"You are Mr. Mace…" he said while extending his hand.

Gun Mace did not stand at attention and quickly grabbed the General's hand and shook it enthusiastically.

He felt really excited right now. He was tasked by his "Master", to receive all the achievements.

"Yes, General… I am Private Gun Mace from the research department of the military." He reported his ranks and job description.

"Good… Good… I heard that you are the one who made these things…"

"Yes, General, sir!"

The rest of the researchers nodded their heads.

They too heard what "Mr. Summers" wanted to happen so they too would accept the achievements in this matter.

They have already talked about this on their way here, so they have prepared themselves in this aspect.

The General nodded in satisfaction and showed a happy smile. He then walked back to the military building after giving some instructions.

The convoy was parked just outside the military barracks, while the bus and the suits were sent to the military garage.

With the arrival of the convoy and the appearance of new technology, the military inside the fortress began to be busy while the people also began to gossip about it.

Gun Mace and his group finally meet up with Cohan Vale where he immediately asked for Xin Ja.

"Where is Mr. Summers?" asked Cohan after not seeing Xin Ja with the group.

"When we were about to arrive in the city, he suddenly walked out. He told us not to follow him as he has something to do…" Gun Mace explained.

Cohan Vale could not help but heave a deep sigh as he shakes his head.

He did not know what is on that guy's mind, but he knew that he is doing this on purpose. From the start, when he learns who Xin Ja really is and how he was able to travel to the other side of this planet without any penalties, he knew that the guy has a mission he has to complete and he just wished that he could help in any way he can.

…

Meanwhile, Xin Ja has already arrived near a rocky mountain where the chaotic Ki is a bit dense. He wanted to finally break through to the Ki-Grandmaster realm. With the number of resources, he has right now, if he could not break through to the Ki-Grandmaster realm then he could only blame himself for that.

After an hour of creating a cave and then closing it with a series of formations, he finally takes out all of the crystals with a rich and dense amount of chaotic Ki and pure Ki.

After positioning everyone around an array formation, he calmly sits in the middle of it.

As he activated the array, he could sense the increase in the Ki density around him. It was like basking in a warm spring while being naked.

Soon, his surroundings began to tremble lightly as a powerful suction force appears above his head. Then, like a hungry ghost, the suction force devours all the dense Ki around the area.

And the Ki being devoured is refined by Xin Ja by controlling his body and the necklace was given to him by his first master in this world, Master Wang.

Xin Ja could now feel his dantian pulsating as the rapid entry of Ki slowly but surely widen his spirit meridian. Then he could now feel another sphere forming inside his dantian, and this sphere would be his 41st sphere.

Once this sphere finished forming up, he would then enter the next realm, the realm of Ki-Grandmasters.
