Chapter 628 Clara And The Stone Lord

While Noel kept the enemies at bay, Clara and the Stone Lord used all their power to bring down the Superior Demon.

The Superior Demon waved its tail to destroy the wall, but the Stone Lord had erected a giant stone spike that hit the middle of the tail, causing it to stop.

But due to the Superior Demonʼs tough skin, the spike couldnʼt pierce through it as well. The tip was completely broken by the toughness of the skin.

Still, this was enough. Clara used that opportunity to run on the Superior Demonʼs tail, heading to its body.

The Superior Demon noticed her movement and hurriedly spun his body. At the same time, he raised his hand, preparing to smack Clara as soon as she got off.

But surprisingly, Clara managed to keep running on that unstable path.

It turned out Clara was using the spider legs on her back to balance her movement while creating a circular thread that circled the tail. Even if she fell off, she would still hang around the tail with this.

She looked like she was defying gravity, causing the Superior Demon to panic.

Without thinking, the Superior Demon used its hands to launch Clara away.

If Clara didnʼt avoid this, she would be slapped to death like that of a mosquito. But Clara had another plan in mind.

Since the hands were aiming at her, she only had to avoid the slap while taking advantage of the momentum to send her to the Superior Demonʼs head.

”!!!” The Superior Demon widened his eyes when he saw the slap miss. At the same time, Clara actually hung around the hand. With the current motion, it wouldnʼt be weird if Clara managed to reach his head.

With such an agile and flexible human on his body, he might get heavily injured from whatever she was planning to do. He was already covered in injuries, so his situation might become even worse than he imagined.

So, the Superior Demon jumped into the air with that big body. This was the only thing he hadnʼt tried to shake off Clara.

”…” Clara maintained her calm. Since she had jumped away from the tail, the thread that prevented her from falling had been retracted. That was why the jump ended up lifting her up.

Clara clicked her tongue while looking at the Superior Demon from above. The latter seemed to be happy that his plan worked, but he didnʼt realize that Clara had been trying to make him focus on her.

He forgot for a second that he was fighting against two opponents.

”Rise!” The Stone Lord shouted.

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

Numerous spikes emerged from the ground. Each spike started with a diameter of ten meters. Even the tip wasnʼt that small due to the size and toughness of the Superior Demon.

But with this number of spikes hitting all over the body, the Superior Demon should feel the pain.

*Roar!*

The Superior Demon was wailing in pain. Two spikes managed to crack his scale, some managed to hit the open wound while the rest only inflicted some jolts, but it was enough to distract the Superior Demon for a second.

Clara took advantage of this opportunity to land on the demonʼs head.

”!!!” The Superior Demon immediately covered its eyes and nose as if trying to prevent Clara from hitting his weak points. On the one hand, it was able to stop Clara from injuring him. On the other hand, it gave away its weak points.

Clara waved his hands, shooting strings from her fingertips. The strings scattered around the area. They were thick, strong, and sharp. If it was a normal demon, these threads would feel like a claw, grazing all over their bodies. But as expected, the toughness of the skin prevented any thread from injuring him.

It seemed that the demonʼs weakness was the only part he covered. Clara narrowed her eyes, thinking there was no other way since the enemyʼs skin was simply too thick.

The Superior Demon even flapped its tail to destroy the spikes around him before spinning around to throw away Clara.

However, Clara had understood how the Superior Demon worked. She jumped off as if she wanted to escape.

Realizing that Clara was not on his body anymore, the demon stopped for a moment to find Clara.

But the next thing he saw was Clara grabbing the area where his scale cracked.

Clara extended her strings around the cracked scales and shouted, ”Stone Lord! Lift it up!”

Suddenly, a huge pillar was erected near the demon.

*Roar!*

The demon soon let out another scream out of pain. It turned out Clara sneaked in some strings underneath the cracked scales. Since it had some gaps due to the crack, Clara attached them to a rising pillar, causing the pillar to pull out the scars and completely reveal the skin underneath the scale. And this skin was far thinner and weaker than the scale.

”I got you,” said Clara as she tried to stretch her string again to pierce through the demon. But the demon managed to react and spin his body before it was too late. He even attempted to kick Clara, albeit the Stone Lord had summoned another stone wall as her foothold, allowing her to jump before getting hit.

Then, Clara aimed for the other cracked spot to pull it out again, creating more and more weak spots. The demon was already covered in wounds, so there were a lot of spots to work with.

Her objective was to remove all the scales blocking the wound so that the Stone Lord could deal the finishing blow.

And for the first time in its life, the Superior Demon felt scared. He realized that he might die at their hands.

So, the Superior Demon let out a loud and long roar.

*Rooaaaarrrr!*

It felt different from any roar that it used earlier. In fact, it sounded similar to the first one that caused chaos inside the mysterious facility.

”!!!” Clara widened her eyes as the demons started to change the way they moved.
