Chapter 723: The Second Wave

(Unedited)

…

It has been 5 days ever since he lost consciousness and was able to communicate with Gaeus Ro. As Shin Jiao analyzes the situation and the event that had happened, he realized that the conduit for being able to contact Gaeus Ro and the people around him might be the crystal on his neck.

He subconsciously grabs the crystal pendant, but his eyes went wide as he discovers that the crystal is now gone and on his robe are specks of dust that seem to be from the crystal.

"No…" he said as his eyes are filled with panic.

Shin Jiao could not help but feel saddened by this predicament. He didn't know that his curiosity would result in this. However, he soon calmed down as he thought of the possibility of Susan Tang might already be once again with a body.

He clenches his fists as he looks at the skies. Deep in his heart, he swore to go out into space and go to Kranos Galaxy. No matter how long it takes, he promises himself to try and find Susan Tang.

Deep in Shin Jiao's heart, he feels a burning desire to grow stronger faster. Though he has an idea of what to do, he is not sure if he really could make it to the saint ruler level in only 100 years. But he already has a goal in his heart, and this goal would help him push forward.

Then he thought of the other things that he learned from the conversation he had with the higher beings that are oppressing him. The bindings, he actually knows what constituted that power. The binding is actually a spell, a rune spell that bounds two people and their family as one while in flesh.

It is one of the powers of the deities that could be given to mortals. However, it is not just some simple spell. It should be permitted by the deity, or else the binding is null and void and useless.

As Shin Jiao thinks about this part, his dantian suddenly became hotter; he immediately realized this and immediately closes his eyes while sitting in a lotus position within the grasses.

As he closes his eyes, he could sense that one of the sealed essences inside his dantian seems to have awakened, it was the soul essence.

He carefully observes the soul essence change its color and then suddenly realize a trace of Dao coming from within it. As Shin Jiao observes, he suddenly feels a familiarity with that Dao. Although his Dao understanding is high, his compatibility is low or average at best. However, due to his understanding, he is able to see things that others may not see. And right now, that is what is happening in his soul essence. The soul essence is actually trying to show him something.

"This is… this is the binding spell effect. Soul binding… How… what does this mean?" he thought as he continuously observes the changes that are happening in the soul essence.

While this is happening to Shin Jiao, the whole border towns within the human territory are now in turmoil. This is because the combined forces of the High Elven and Zith'ra races are now sending their second wave.

This time, the two demi-god races are sending a large army to assault the border towns. The second wave would surely be bloody and would turn into a war of attrition if nothing else works as it seems that the high elves and Zith'ra are really going to turn the humans into their slaves.

However, how could humans just submit to their provocation? Right at this moment, large flying ships are crossing the human territories carrying hundreds of thousands of soldiers to defend the boundary and the border towns close to the territory of the high elven races.

Meanwhile, a number of human scouts are currently running as fast as they could while behind them follows a group of high elves. The two groups move like shadows as a cat and mouse chase is happening.

"Captain… you should go and report this to the town, or else the town should surely fall. We will try and block these pesky b*stards here." A silver armored scout said with a determined expression on his eyes.

The captain of the group immediately showed a complex emotion in his eyes.

"No! We should work together to send this message to the town. I won't let you guys sacrifice yourselves and be captured." The captain immediately objected.

"Captain! Please… you are the only chance…" a scout said as he suddenly gathers his energy and then with a determined look in his eyes suddenly rushes towards an enemy following behind.

This was followed by the rest of his teammates doing the same. They all cast an area of effect spells that sent the forest and its ground turning into ruins.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Explosion after an explosion tore the heart of the scout captain as he clenches his fists while running as fast as he could while the corner of his eyes is looking at his companions sacrificing themselves just to buy him time.

He was reluctant, but he knew that if he stops, then the town might now be able to survive the attack that the high elves are planning to do.

It was truly a sinister plan that their group was able to discover while scouting the area of the enemy. However, it was their bad luck as the enemy has a high lord amongst them.

A large number of their companions was already caught, and a few of them were able to leave that place. But the high elves are truly persistent in chasing after them. The group has been running for three days already and is feeling exhausted as the two groups exchange blows with many casualties.

And now, he is the only one left. As he checks the terrain he is certain that the distance from his location to the town of Gipard is just a day if he gives it his all.

With determination in his eyes, the captain increases his speed as he flew through the trees.

Boom!

The captain found himself flying in the air as the tree he steps on suddenly exploded and was turned into shreds.

As he tumbled in the air, he noticed at a distance stood a grinning tall high elf looking at him. On her hand is a longbow with energy fluctuation around it.

The captain knew that he could not escape this. What baffled him is the reason why this female high elf was able to reach him. Although the distance between them is around 30 meters, it would only take around a second or two, for her to traverse such distance.

While gritting his teeth, he suddenly takes out a small handgun from his back. It is a one-shot flintlock type handgun. Although it is small and only takes one shot, it produces a powerful burst that is able to break gold armor.

This power is something that an ordinary six-shooter gun is unable to attain. Hence this is his favorite hidden weapon and his trump card.

With the gun on hand, the captain suddenly twisted his body in the air and landed on his feet. He suddenly stabs his sword to the ground to stop his momentum as he slid over.

Then the female high elf suddenly dashed as she grabs the dagger on her back.

Seeing her action, the captain's eyes squinted as he moved to the side dodging the fatal strike.

Swoosh!

The tip of his hair was sliced but he was able to preserve his life at that moment.

But the female high elf did not stop at this moment and continuously attacks the captain. The two exchange blows and their bodies began to suffer many wounds.

"Hihi… not bad for a human. I guess you are their leader. Your companions are easy to subdue. But you… you're different. You're stronger, faster, and more powerful than them… Hihi… if I can have you as a slave, then I promise not to make you suffer…" the female high elf said while she licks her soft lips.

Then visible to the naked eyes, the wounds on her body slowly fades and a clear pinkish skin appears which seems like the flesh of a child.

This made the captain a bit depressed. His wound would heal fast, but not as fast as the high elf.

"I guess they are the called the true demi-god race for this reason." He thought as he takes another fighting stance.

"I will not let our town fall. I will fight no matter what." He said in anger.

But the female high elf smirks.

"Haha… If you die now, it would take… what 3 days? Before you could warn the town, we are already within your boundaries and everything is too late by then… Hahaha…" she said with a confident chuckle.

The eyes of the captain turned complicated, but upon looking at the high elven woman, he still was still determined to fight.

"I'll take you with me before I die… Hehe… Hahaha…" he shouted as he suddenly rushes towards his opponent.

The two once again exchange blows but soon, something happened.

An arm flew out which and a loud cry of pain could be heard in the air.

The captain kneels on the ground with his bloody severed arm. Not only that but on his side, a large gaping wound could be seen as he tried to gasp air as if it became difficult for him to breathe.

He could feel his consciousness slowly fading. But before he would fall, he shifted his gaze to the high elven woman standing on the side.

Her tall figure did not move, but soon he heads slowly shifted to the side and slowly slid down the ground.

The captain smiled at his victory, however, his feeling of accomplishment in defeating his opponent was short-lived. This is because, in the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed a few figures slowly walking out of the bushes.

"High elves…" were his last words before he fell on the ground unconscious.
