Chapter 625 Superior Demons

*Boom!*

*Bam!*

*Bang!*

The people inside the fort kept releasing their powers. People like Jonathan or Shale used their abilities to lift up the demons into the air and throw them back into their ranks.

However, the demons didnʼt stay down easily. They tried to shoot the enemies down.

The people on top of the walls and the tower became their target. However, the wall didnʼt escape unscathed as well.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

A series of explosions occurred. Some of them occurred due to the clash between human ability and demonʼs attack. Some of them occurred because they hit their targets, whether it was the ground, the walls, or the humans.

Some of the humans who specialized in defense stepped forward and protected these people. Those who couldnʼt release long-ranged attacks also jumped forward to strike down these attacks while using the explosions to send them back on top of the wall.

But some of the explosions occurred after hitting the wooden walls.

Even with the Hardening Rune, it was still hard for a normal wood to stop the attacks from the demons, especially those Advanced Level Demons and the Peak Level Demons.

The wooden wall was broken, but what they didnʼt know was that behind the wooden wall, there was a second layer.

This layer was sturdier than the first one, considering it was made of stone. It had been enhanced by the rune as well.

And obviously, they had to thank the Stone Lord and his disciple to be able to create them.

The progress of the fight was good, but Shale seemed to remain focused on the biggest problem.

Even though he was using his ability to repel some demons, his eyes still hadnʼt left the big demon that hadnʼt taken a step forward as soon as it reached this place.

Yes, Shale was focusing on the Superior Demon. With their intelligence, it wouldnʼt be weird for the demon to issue a retreat or come up with an extraordinary plan.

ʼItʼs still not moving?ʼ Shale thought while frowning. On the one hand, he could think this was due to him glaring at him this whole time. On the other hand, the demon wouldnʼt be that afraid of humans of the same level even with that kind of injury.

So, he believed the demon was trying to do something.

ʼWhat is he planning to do? No, there are supposed to be two Superior Demons according to the report. Where is the second one?ʼ Shale glanced around. His heart suddenly skipped a beat as he turned around, checking the Spiritual Energy inside the fort. ʼDonʼt tell me, the second Superior Demon is the one digging the hidden nest? In that case, the fort…ʼ

Suddenly, he fell silent. There was nothing extraordinary inside the base.

”Clara. Whatʼs the second Superior Demon look like?” Shale shouted.

Clara, who had just returned to the wall after throwing the demons away with her thread, stopped for a moment and said, ”Itʼs a—”

Before she finished, all of them suddenly noticed a surge of energy from the side.

”!!!” Clara, Shale, and the Stone Lord widened their eyes in shock, turning their heads around.

Suddenly, a blue light shone brightly among the trees and flew forth, mowing down everything in its path.

”Not good!” Shale shouted while jumping straight toward the light. He gathered the wind around his hand and leaped into the air.

The blue light that traveled like a beam finally came out of the forest and almost hit the base.

Fortunately, Shale managed to reach it first. The wind concentrated on his fist started to release a powerful gale downward. The wind was so powerful that the blue-colored beam was going down and eventually hitting the ground.

But this burst of energy wouldnʼt be defeated easily. It cracked the ground and turned it into a crater. This way, the terrain completely changed and all the ditches around this area were completely neutralized.

At the same time, the foundation for the walls disappeared, causing some walls to crumble easily.

The energy ended with an explosion, trying to erase everything around it.

However, the Stone Lord managed to react to the aftermath. He erected a huge wall that blocked the explosion.

As if knowing what would happen, the other Superior Demon came toward the Stone Lord and swiped its tail. This humanoid crocodile had tough skin, so the explosion wouldnʼt hurt him.

And with the current momentum, he should be able to give the Stone Lord some heavy injuries.

”Not on my watch!” Clara shouted as numerous threads circled around the tail and caught it.

The tail stopped, but Clara, who used her fingers to stop that kind of force, had her fingers almost torn. She was lucky that she had some gloves for protection. Even then, some strings had already cut a bit of her skin. If this continued, she might lose her fingers.

But more importantly, due to the absence of those trio, the wall had no one to protect.

”Itʼs just a distraction!” Shale shouted while turning around as if trying to warn Clara, the Stone Lord, and… Noel.

It seemed Shale wasnʼt the only one who noticed it. The moment the two Superior Demons came out, Noel had stopped pouring his Spiritual Energy into his Undying Fire. At that instant, all the flames disappeared from the battlefield, confusing the demons, especially with high intelligence.

Noel took this opportunity to jump off the wall. Instead of falling, Noel was flying with the help of the Phoenix Wings.

Noel couldnʼt help but smirk. He had a lot of gains after dealing with that Fire Bird and he was planning to utilize it here to see how effective they were.

A few phoenix feathers fell down before Noel flapped his wings, creating a gust of hot air to bring those feathers.

Due to the weird current from the hot air, the feathers moved unpredictably, causing them to be hard to be shot down.

Noel had just utilized three abilities: Undying Fire Feathers, Fire Heart, and Fire Gale. With a smirk on his face, he said, ”Letʼs try its power, shall we?”
