(Unedited)
…
A week has passed ever since the battle at the front lines of the stronghold started. The death toll to both the humans and the combined army is numerous. However, since the combined army could not resurrect at the nearest spot, they were driven back to the borders of Gipard town by the overwhelming number as those who died would sometimes resurrect on the battlefield or within the stronghold or the town.
The defeat of the combined army is imminent and this came with a prize as many of the combined army soldier's black box was taken and put inside a special prison. Thousands ended up resurrecting as prisoners of war.
Facing the two powerful high lords was the dilemma of the combined enemy forces, plus the emergence of a new combatant which the battlefield warriors named the mist demon. This is because of the way it would suddenly materialize near its target.
Within the mist and the fog caused by the dust and golden blood, its figure would suddenly appear and take the life of its target without a word.
And this has caused big trouble for the combined army. However, the demon seems to be avoiding the humans, so this made the combined army struggle in despair.
Although the humans are still wary of the existence of the mist demon, they still did not fully trust the demon. It is an innate hatred against the enemy where which they are training on becoming stronger for, the enemy that they would be facing after their stay in the immortal land.
The battle has ended with the enemy now sent at the borders of the town of Gipard. The large army of the combined High Elven and Zith'ra races did not continue marching forward. This is because more than half of their army is now at the hands of the human race.
Meanwhile, right at this time, Grukal is leisurely roaming inside a newly opened blacksmith shop. He is carefully browsing every item and artifact inside the shop with glowing interest in his eyes. Those that see him would stand to the side and never bother the man.

That's right; Shin Jiao has once again opened the blacksmith shop due to the request of Ryujin Osmond. And the trade for this one is for him to escort Alea Zin as she would be taken back to the Osmond clan main city, Omin City.
After leaving everything in the hands of Hans Jung and his family, Shin Jiao is now ready to depart and escort Alea Zin.
In fact, he didn't have to as he knew that she has already decided to go back and face reality. However, how could he let this chance slip by? With Ryujin Osmond still in the town to repel the enemy forces, the only escort she has is a lord and a dozen of gold armored protectors.
The light in the sky is already high as a caravan slowly departs from the town.
"Master Ji, you didn't have to come and escort me back. I am well able to take care of myself." Alea said while serving Shin Jiao a tea while the two sit inside a floating carriage.
"Alea, you are my friend. How could I let you face this trouble alone? If you are already decided to surrender to the Osmond clan, then I have no say to that. But I must make sure that your so-called husband is worthy of you…" Shin Jiao said with a tone that's like that of a father.
Alea could not help but giggle at his words and her heart feels warm. She feels like this young man who is younger than her acted more of a father to her than her real father who just used her as a political pawn to gain status in the Osmond clan.
Though she knew that her father is not that bad, yet she really feels hurt at his gesture.
The travel would take a long time from the town of Gipard to the capital city of Omin, but the journey is not boring as Shin Jiao and Alea exchanges words while he helped her with her cultivation and preparation for her breakthrough to become a lord.
So far, the progress of her cultivation is really becoming faster. Meanwhile, those that are escorting the caravan have their suspicion on the young man that is riding with Alea Zin's carriage.
They suspected that Alea and the young man have an explicit relationship and that it would be troublesome if it continues. However, the leader of the group, the local lord sent to lead the group did not say anything. He is aware of the conversation inside and knew who Shin Jiao is.
After a whole twenty days of peaceful journeying, the caravan has now arrived at a border town near the capital city. The darkness of the night has already covered the skies and the caravan is hoping to enter the town for protection from the shadow creatures.
However, as soon as the group arrives, they noticed a horrible scene.
The town's folks seem to be already inside their homes and fear could be felt in the air.
Even the guards of the town did not dare come out of their guard post as if fearing that coming out would spell doom. Hence, as the caravan arrives at the town's gate, they are greeted with the presence of many shadow creatures roaming around the town.
"What is happening?" Shin Jiao muttered upon seeing the densely packed shadow creatures in the town that has also caught the sigh of the caravan.
Without warning, the shadow creatures rush towards the caravan with their glowing eyes.
The group of protectors did not hesitate to immediately form a protective barrier around the carriages as they usually do these past few days in their travels.
Then suddenly the two forces collided which resulted in a chaotic fight. One side defending and the other is a horde of shadow creatures.
It did not take long before the shadow creatures were eliminated by the gold armored protectors. The group then sweeps the town and got rid of the rest that is still hiding.
Before midnight, everything was cleared and the town now has a tranquil atmosphere. The gold armored protectors did not bother to even collect the energy core of the beast. However, Shin Jiao is different; he decided to help the group and at the same time collected the cores.
With thousands of shadow creatures roaming in the streets he soon gained thousands of energy cores.
After the battle, the group entered an inn and from there learned a story.
The town is actually being terrorized by a demon for a few days now. However, they could not send anyone outside as those who would leave to inform the capital would be ambushed.
The special case of the town is that they did not have any local lords.
Since it is close to the capital city, about 2 hours of travel by the fastest mount, the town just houses many gold and silver armored protectors. However, ever since the invasion began, those town protectors were sent to the front lines.
And so the town is left with a few weak silver armored protectors who are able to fend off against the shadow creatures at night.
But everything changes a few days ago when the demon appeared.
Though it did not destroy the town, yet it has also taken their freedom.
Terrorized by day and night, the town was left like a ghost town. That is until the caravan arrived.
Plus, they also learned something incredulous that has happened in the battle between the humans and the combined army of High Elves and Zith'ra. The other border towns and stronghold actually fell. And for this reason, many of the human clans united to stop the advancing force of the enemy.
A large portion of the human territory was taken because of this failure. Everyone was flabbergasted upon hearing this.
"I guess the Osmond clan has their hands tied in this incident." Shin Jiao muttered as he looks at Alea Zin who is standing beside him.
She was quiet and did not say anything. She knew that what Shin Jiao said is true, but she still could not help but frown.
Although she is concerned with her forced marriage, she is still a part of the human race. In her heart, she wanted to go to the frontlines and fight to drive away from the enemy.
Seeing her absent gaze, Shin Jiao just shook his head.
"Do you want to escape and go to the front lines?" He asked in a low tone.
His words seemed to have startled her a bit. But she could not deny that what he said is what she wanted to do right now.
"We will rest here for a while and then resume our journey tomorrow." The lord escorting Alea Zin said.
With that, the group took a room and rested in the inn.
But only after an hour have passed after midnight. A large commotion was heard outside the town's walls.
This made Shin Jiao who is sitting cross-legged on the ground frowns. He has already helped the town activate its protective barrier. Though it is being supported by a gold armored protector, it is still strong enough to defend against shadow creatures.
So how could an explosion happen outside?
Sensing that the problem is critical, Shin Jiao did not hesitate to stand up and rush outside.
As soon as he takes a step, he immediately noticed the barrier center of the town burning in red flame.
Then high above the center of the town, a figure ominously floated.
"The demon has appeared…" he muttered to himself.
