The Geared Immortal

1301 Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 51

Chapter 1301

Leo Carbin runs deeper into the forest as he frantically tried to flee from a black shadow. His previous handsome and heroic appearance when entering this place was not changed into a pathetic one.

While searching for his prey, he thought that he had found his target and began following the heat signature.

But who would have known that the heat signature belongs to a figure that looks like a person with green skin? Its limbs are a bit long, its hair is silver, and it has pointy ears. It looks like a forest elf from the stories.

Leo was shocked when he discovered that it was actually an ambush and that he was tricked into following that creature.

Now he has suffered a few deep wounds after struggling to escape from that horrifying ambush.

He had killed a few of those creatures and it seems that it infuriated more of them.

And now he is escaping with his life on the line.

Swoosh!!!

An arrow suddenly flew past his face giving him a long line of red as a gash appears.

He looks at the peripheral vision of his eyes and noticed a few figures squatting at the tree branches.

When he saw those squatting figures and their grins, Leo could not help but feel annoyed and at the same time worried. The feeling of being in a crisis for the first time in his life has suddenly dawned on him.

Leo Carbin has been a pampered rich young 2nd generation before becoming a D-rank awakened. He has been one of those privileged few who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He and his brother Drake were spoiled brats that form their small gang that began to terrorize people.

When the awakening happened and the monsters arrived, the commotion caused many people to lose their lives. But he and his brother are the few who discovered their powers early in their lives.

But talent alone is not enough, sometimes to go up and beyond, one requires sacrifice and hard work. And that is what he did.

He began to work hard to grow and become strong as an awakened. And because of his perseverance, he had met a master that began to teach him on how he could become stronger than he is now.

His master is a beautiful woman named Chloe Miller, a C-rank fire mage.

According to the teaching of his master, Leo should learn to fight and hunt, so that he could grow. The more beasts he could kill in the forest, the stronger he's going to get.

And that is the reason why he became stronger as time goes by.

He knew that he is about to reach the C-rank and he only need a bit of push.

But from the way things are going right now, it seems that he would not be able to reach that goal if he truly falls in this place.

"It was all that bastard's fault!" he grumbled while gritting his teeth.

If he could only see that guy Adam Summers, then he would surely squish him like a bug. No, he would first disable that guy and then slowly make him suffer. He would make him wish that he would not have been born.

While in a fit of anger and frustration by the killing intent he could feel following his back. Leo could not help but feel a bit of a panic and desperation.

He could already feel his body weakening as if he could not control his limbs anymore.

"What is happening to me…" he muttered as he continually runs in a certain direction which he knew would take him back to the city walls of Dee city.

Swoosh!!!

Another arrow flew, but he did not change direction and just continue with his direction.

Swak!!!

Arrgghh!!!

Who would have known that an arrow would suddenly lodge on his shoulder making Leo stagger to the ground?

He glared at the figure that shot the arrow and fiercely glares at it.

These creatures are actually not that strong, at best their strength and speed is only at the E-rank.

But when he started to get wounded by their arrows, his strength seem to have diminished and he became weaker by the minute.

He knew exactly right there that he was infected by the poison used by these creatures.

"Damn you!!!" he cried out as he lifted his hand while facing his enemies.

He did not want to run anymore. If he is truly going to fall in this place, then he would die fighting.

"Little Brother, I'm sorry for being too foolish! I fell for the trap of that bastard… Do not avenge me, just live well… Master, I'm no good of a student… I have disappointed you. Please protect my brother… And… avenge me…" he said as he turns off the recording device while he hides it in his pocket.

Le glaring at the creatures, Leo Carbin prepares himself for the last stand where he would fight to the death.

With two swords on hand, he faces the figures which now appear to be four of them.

His heart sank as his knees wobbled.

Whoosh!!!

A gust of air passes through the dark forest as the five figures face each other.

One is standing on the ground, while four of his enemies are squatting atop the branches of the trees surrounding him.

Thud!!!

Suddenly the sound of something falling interrupted the silence and the rustling of the trees. This sound was followed by another, and then another.

Now only the tall green elf was left showing a confused expression on its face.

Eeek!!! Eeek!!!

It suddenly shrieked loudly while glaring at Leo who is equally confused.

That green tall figure suddenly stood up and then bolted away deeper into the forest.

Suddenly, it felt a strong killing intent which made it look to the side.

Bang!!!

A loud gunshot was heard, but that tall green figure was quicker than the rest of his kin that was killed. In fact, he is at the level of Leo Carbin.

So its speed is quick enough to dodge the bullet.

Well, it could easily dodge it because it has felt the killing intent of the enemy before it heard the gunshot.

As it jumps high up in the air, it showed a sneer on its face as it flings a dagger in the direction of the shooter.

The green creature landed on a large tree branch and then quickly turns it figure to the direction of its new enemy.

However, it suddenly showed confusion as its body is the only one that turned and its head was left in the place.

Before it knew, its head slowly slide down its neck and fall to the ground followed by its lifeless body.

When the dim moonlight shines through the dark forest, one could see a thin line with traces of blood running across that same tree branch where that creature has jumped into.

Leo showed astonishment in his eyes and smiled as he feels that he was saved.

"Help me! I'm…  I'm poisoned…" he suddenly cried out.

Then he heard a rustling sound and saw a blurry figure walking out of the bushes.

That figure did not walk toward him but instead walks towards the fallen creatures. He did not know what that figure is doing, but he feel a bit weird about it.

It was like he is sniffing or inhaling something from the bodies of those monsters.

Then he suddenly heard a loud roar coming from that figure which startled him. If he did not know that, that figure is a person, judging from his voice, he could have sworn that he would think of this person as a wild man.

But, this person is also not a wild man because he uses a beast buster.

"Help…" he suddenly said as he suddenly kneeled on the ground feeling his body weakening.

He knew that if an antidote is not administered to him, he would surely die.

While his vision is a bit blurry, he could now vaguely see that man walking toward him.

When that person appears right in front of his face, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It was none other than his own prey, Adam Summers.

He is now wondering how Adam was able to defeat four powerful creatures that are E-ranks and one D-rank.

"You… How… How are you still… Ugh…" panic could be seen in his eyes as Leo tried his best to maintain his consciousness he could not believe that the person he wanted to kill would be the one looking at him and watching.

From the eyes of that bastard, it was as if he is watching a dead man. Deep in his heart, he was unwilling to die just like this.

"Hmm… You've been poisoned with neurotoxin derived from the Ki abundant plants and creatures in this forest… In about 5 minutes… your heart will now stop… Actually, you would have died a long time ago. Luckily your awakened level is high…" Xin Ja said calmly as he squatted down to check his condition of Leo.

Leo wanted to lift his hand to attack Xin Ja, but he could not do so anymore.

Xin Ja watches as the guy in front of him slowly droops his eyes as his consciousness began to fade. He knew that the toxin in his body has finally taken his life.

"Ahh… Your Ki aura is too much… I would not want to waste that, wouldn't I? Thank you for your sacrifice… senior… Hehe…" Xin Ja chuckled as he absorbed the Ki aura rising from Leo Carbin's body.
