The Geared Immortal

Chapter 910 - Escaping Saint

Chapter 910

(Unedited)

Gwendolyn Grav was born when the force of light was still hiding inside a secluded part of the forest near the boundary where those called fallen immortals would sometimes appear. That is the place where she grows up and has developed her powers.

Her very strong affinity to light was discovered at that place and she grew stronger and more capable while growing up.

When she was nine, her father and most of his councilors have decided to attack the kingdom and force those that worship the dark Raul out of the palace.

Something inside them is telling them that it is time to start the war.

At a young age, she saw the cruelty of war and she was there when hundreds of thousands have fought and died in a great battle between the light and the darkness. She witnessed many horrendous things that made her have nightmares almost every night.

As the battle intensified, he experienced also grows and the nightmare increases. At this point, the forces of the light have already pushed forward and began to conquer many parts of the outer world. And this happened because of her, and some artifacts that they have discovered.

When the forces of the light began to occupy the outer world, peace seems to have arrived. The war seems to have stopped for the time being and she felt that the nightmares should be ending too.

But unknown to her that peace was short-lived.

In this short time of peace, both the opposing forces began to muster their armies and bolster their forces slowly. As the influence of the two forces grows, one in the outer world, and the other in the inner kingdom, the fragile peace slowly began to crumble.

One night while staying in the Main Arjing City, she secretly went out of the city gates. She wanted to run away and did not want to see the horror of war ever again.

She did not want to be used and become a weapon to kill many people. She is already tired of it. She did not want to have any part of it. And so she decided to run away.

As she was escaping out of the city, she accidentally meets a 13-year-old young boy.

The two of them met near a forest, and the young boy was captivated by her beauty. She too found the boy really handsome and the two of them seem to feel peace in each other's company.

The two traveled until they reached one of the villages near the mountain ranges that separate the outer world and inner kingdom.

But who would have known that in that place, her father would find her?

The young man at that time is actually the dark prince of the kingdom of Xinglo. Just like her, he is their saint.

However, since he was captured by the forces of the light. It was all over for him.

She regretted what happened that day, and from then on this has borne down on her conscience. After a few years, the forces of the darkness were defeated and the force of the light has begun their rule of the whole of Xinglo Kingdom.

And now, Gwendolyn Grav wanted to visit that place where she lost her only friend in this world. She wanted to visit the places they have been to and she also wanted to visit Central Town to reminisce of that time long lost forgotten.

But who would have known that she would encounter wyvern in the forest just as they pass through the path near the village where his friend was captured before.

While Gwendolyn looks at the group who defeated the wyverns, she showed a faint smile on her beautiful face.

"I am Gwendolyn Grav, the 8th princess of the new Xinglo kingdom… It is nice meeting my benefactors…" she said with a calm voice.

Shin Jiao and the rest nodded their heads except Im Jae.

"The saint…" Im Jae muttered in a low tone.

However, Shin Jiao heard her words.

He smiles and showed great interest in the young woman.

"Your aura seems different… bright…" Shin Jiao said while watching her.

When the soldiers and the mages with the Saint heard his words, they became guarded. How could they expect to meet someone who could recognize a saint's aura in the outer world?

It is known that only Arch Mages and Grand Magus can see the aura of a saint. But it is also known that not all Arch Mages can see the aura.

The people on the saint's side became a bit flustered as they are now truly afraid that they just met either the Grand Magus or a powerful Arch Mage.

"Are… are you a Grand Magus?" Gwendolyn asked with a worried expression.

She did not want to return to the inner kingdom yet. She wanted to roam around the outer world. In fact, she has a plan to run away.

She did not care about anything anymore and has been upset by the politics inside the inner kingdom. When she was betrothed to one of the noble families in the inner kingdom, she immediately felt rage in her heart.

In fact, until now she still could not forgive that young man after 10 years have passed. She still remembers him and their happy friendship and bond they have together.

"Well, you can think that I am one… Anyway, we should be going to the inner kingdom now. I hope that you would be safe on your travels and be careful." Shin Jiao said as he turns back.

Suddenly, when Gwendolyn's eyes landed on Im Ao and Im Jae, her eyes suddenly glowed.

This means that she discovered someone with dark power in them.

The soldiers and the mages also saw this and everyone was startled.

Suddenly, the captain draws his already sheath sword and then pointed it at Shin Jiao.

"You are all fiends… The worshipper of the darkness… We must capture you and bring you to the inner kingdom!" shouted the captain in which the rest of the soldiers also prepare for a battle.

When Shin Jiao's group saw this, they showed angry expressions on their faces. Who would have known that these people would not be thankful but instead point their weapons on them?

"Everyone retreat now to the ship, I will take care of this mess…" Shin Jiao said.

With this command, Im Jae and the rest jumps in the air and flew towards the hovering ship. When the soldiers and the mages saw this, they immediately began attacking the retreating people. The soldiers draw their bows and arrows while the mages cast their spells.

They immediately bombarded the group with hundreds of projectiles. But because of the protection around them, they did not suffer any damages.

Shin Jiao who is still standing on the ground, looks calmly at the soldiers and the mages around him who are frantically attacking his companions. He also took a glance at the people who are pointing their weapons towards him.

"We have helped you, offer you our potions and pills, and then heal your wounds and make you well. Is this how you would repay kindness?" Shin Jiao asked with a calm tone.

"Heh! Who would fall for your tricks? We know what you are planning. We know that you approached and helped us to capture the saint!" the captain of the guards shouted while pointing this sword at Shin Jiao.

"Oh? So she is a saint… Hmm… What does a Saint do?" Shin Jiao asked feeling a bit confused.

When Gwendolyn suddenly came to herself, she saw what had happened and she feels a bit regretful. But when she heard Shin Jiao's question, she was dumbstruck. Does this person really not know what a Saint is? Or is he just playing dumb?

"Haha… Do you think you can fool us, you demon?! Take this!" shouted the captain as he suddenly slashes in the air and sent a bright light towards Shin Jiao's direction.

This bright light is holy magic from his sword. This holy power is enough to kill a Dark Arch Mage.

When Shin Jiao saw the holy energy slash flying towards him, he has already scanned it with his spiritual sense. Though it is dangerous, he knew that it could not hurt him.

So he extended his hand and then catches the flying holy slash. Then he revolves around his dantian and absorbed the holy energy from that holy energy flying slash.

The mages and the soldiers who saw this have their eyes went wide in disbelief.

"How… how can… someone from the darkness… absorb… the light?" the captain said with a trembling tone.

They could not believe what they are seeing right now. This is because it is impossible for the darkness to survive that holy slash. Even if it is a dark Grand Magus, he or she would not be able to escape unscathed.

But right in front of their eyes, someone has done it.. Of course, this only happens because they have mistaken Shin Jiao for being a dark Arch Mage or Grand Magus.
