I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Absorbing the Gravity Demon Extract

At the critical moment, Mr. Ya instantly appeared beside Su Ze. He raised one hand, and the bones within his palm burst through flesh and blood, rapidly forming a massive Bone Shield. Like a giant umbrella, it completely protected both him and Su Ze.

The corrosive liquid spewed from the Gravity Demon’s mouth landed on the Bone Shield, making a continuous ”TSSSS” sound. A plume of acrid smoke rose from the Bone Shield, emitting a pungent odor.

Mr. Ya grimaced in pain. The Bone Shield was formed from his own bones.

He pulled Su Ze back, retreated, and activated his ”Tail Cutting for Survival” skill. He directly discarded the arm that had turned into the Bone Shield and grew a new one.

The two of them quickly retreated from the area covered by the Gravity Dust Sand.

Su Ze frowned and said, ”This Gravity Dust Sand skill is too much trouble.”

Mr. Ya nodded. ”It would be best if we could lure it out of the Attracting Stone Ore mine and into the dirt outside. My Earth Escape would be easier to use there.”

”Okay.” Su Ze understood. ’As someone who has just entered the Cocoon Stage, I have no chance of winning against a Third-Rank S-Class mutated beast. So even though I’m the one dealing damage this time, Mr. Ya is the true main force. It’s only because I have a Butterfly Stage master like Mr. Ya, whose ability to protect others is top-notch, playing support that I dare to challenge the Gravity Demon.’

”I’ll lure it then,” Mr. Ya offered.

It was safer for him to lure the monster than Su Ze. If Su Ze got close to the Gravity Demon, he would likely be restricted by the Gravity Dust Sand.

Mr. Ya had no other problems with luring the monster, but his main issue was his lack of offensive abilities, which made it hard to draw its aggro.

However, they had prepared plenty of poison, so they could use that to draw its aggro.

Mr. Ya picked up a fractured piece of Attracting Stone and threw it at the Gravity Demon. The Gravity Demon immediately crawled rapidly toward them, and Su Ze and Mr. Ya flew toward the cave exit above.

Just like that, the two of them easily lured the Gravity Demon to the cave entrance. But the Gravity Demon seemed unwilling to leave the cave. Although a Third-Rank mutated beast’s intelligence couldn’t match a human’s, it was still very smart and remained wary of Mr. Ya, who was of the same rank.

Mr. Ya began to repeatedly approach the Gravity Demon, creating opportunities to throw poison.

After repeated provocations, the Gravity Demon was finally enraged and charged out of the cave after Mr. Ya.

After a chase and some repeated kiting, Mr. Ya finally led the Gravity Demon out of the Attracting Stone Ore vein and into the dirt tunnels outside.

Here, thanks to the Earth Escape Skill, Su Ze and Mr. Ya’s mobility would be greatly enhanced.

Su Ze, who had been observing from a distance, finally rejoined the battle. This time, he became a pure damage-dealing machine, completely giving up his own mobility and letting Mr. Ya carry him around.

The Gravity Demon spread its Gravity Dust Sand all around and increased the strength of the surrounding gravitational field. As soon as Su Ze and Mr. Ya entered the range of the Gravity Dust Sand, their movements would immediately become sluggish and their speed would drop.

Because of this, Mr. Ya relied solely on his Escape Technique for movement, giving up on running. He would appear beside the Gravity Demon with Su Ze, who would immediately unleash his full power: a combination of Ant Power and Needle Strike, followed by a dose of poison. If there was any time left, he would land a couple of extra punches.

The moment the Gravity Demon counterattacked, Mr. Ya would immediately use his escape technique to spirit Su Ze away.

After repeating this process, Su Ze had opened up multiple wounds on the Gravity Demon’s body, all of which were filled with poison.

Su Ze’s punches and kicks weren’t dealing any substantial damage to the Gravity Demon, but the various poisons were tormenting it every moment, draining its stamina and corroding its body.

However, a top-tier Third-Rank mutated beast like the Gravity Demon clearly had far more vitality than the Mutated Giant Crocodile they had hunted before.

When they used the same poison tactics against the Mutated Giant Crocodile, they could tangibly feel its life being slowly worn away by the various poisons. With the Gravity Demon, however, they didn’t get that same feeling.

The Third-Rank biological toxins could weaken the Gravity Demon, injure it, and leave it debilitated, but it seemed they just couldn’t kill it.

Su Ze could now only hope that the poisons would weaken the Gravity Demon to its absolute limit, at which point they could kill it in a direct confrontation.

But before they reached that point, the Gravity Demon went berserk. It connected its head and tail, coiling into a circle, and opened its huge mouthparts to swallow its own tail!

This maneuver shocked both Su Ze and Mr. Ya.

’What kind of skill is this?’

Humans didn’t have a thorough understanding of the Gravity Demon, so it wasn’t strange for it to have skills that most people didn’t know about. But what was it trying to do by eating itself?

’In any case, whatever it’s doing, taking this chance to deal more damage can’t be wrong.’

Mr. Ya charged forward with Su Ze, but a Repulsive Force washed over them—another application of gravity, used to push enemies away and prevent them from getting close.

Su Ze stomped his foot and unleashed a ”Furious Waves.” Powerful shockwaves erupted, tearing open the Gravity Demon’s wounds that were already corroded by poison. Grayish-brown bodily fluid sprayed wildly as the Dizziness effect took hold, leaving the Gravity Demon stunned.

It became completely still, even stopping the motion of swallowing its own tail.

Naturally, Su Ze and Mr. Ya weren’t going to miss this golden opportunity.

Mr. Ya rushed forward and frantically poured poison into the Gravity Demon’s ruptured wounds. Su Ze, meanwhile, targeted the Gravity Demon’s head. After activating ”Ant Power,” he began to stab at it wildly with ”Needle Strike.”

’But this ugly thing doesn’t even have facial features. I’m not sure if it has a brain, or if its brain is even in its head. I’ll just have to try and see.’

Before two or three seconds had passed, the Gravity Demon recovered from its state of Dizziness. Su Ze was immediately sent flying by an invisible force, and Mr. Ya also retreated rapidly.

’Looks like this thing’s weak spot really isn’t in its head.’
