"Be a good boy and shut up."
After the mouth was sealed, the demon shook its head, trying to throw Clara away to open its mouth again.
However, that distraction stopped the Superior Demon from reacting to the golem.
The golem had reached the Superior Demon. Because of its giant body, the lower level demons had been bombarding the golem. But as one would expect from the Stone Lord, he poured everything into this golem, allowing it to withstand all their attacks.
Even multiple Peak Level Demons wouldn't be able to defeat the golem easily. Yet, while maintaining such a technique, he still managed to fight multiple Peak Level Demons.
As soon as the golem reached the crocodile, it sent a powerful punch to the face, causing the crocodile to fall to the ground.
The fall of a giant demon shook the area and crushed multiple demons with its weight. But more importantly, this was the perfect chance for Clara to kill this Superior Demon.
She waved her hand and sent a few strings around. But this time, her target wasn't the crocodile. Instead, she attached the strings to the few spikes that were destroyed earlier. She recovered all the tips she could use and swung them at the crocodile's bare skin.
*Rrrrr!*
The crocodile wanted to scream, but the strings stopped it.
As expected from Clara, who was accustomed to playing with threads whether as a doctor or a fighter. When the demon shook its head, she used that momentum to wrap the strings around, causing them to tangle up with each other. With enough layers, it was hard for the demon to break apart.
And Clara's action allowed the Stone Lord to understand what he was supposed to do.
The golem instantly turned around and grabbed a spike before impaling the crocodile's body.
"!!!" The crocodile almost passed out from the pain. In fact, losing consciousness might be the best thing he could have at the moment. After all, its body had been impaled by a huge spike. It would be hard for the crocodile to stand back up.
And with the golem standing on top of him, it was impossible for the crocodile to do anything back since Clara would be helping the golem.
As soon as she saw the huge advantage against the golem, she landed on top of the crocodile and moved toward the impaled spot.
She took out a needle, the size of a knife, and attached the string to its back.
The crocodile still had the chance to take out the spike, but there was no way Clara would allow it. Her job was to seal it so that even if the crocodile could escape from this predicament, it would still die from blood loss and infection from the stone.
The moment she reached the stone, she started piercing the stone with that knife-sized needle. With her Spiritual Energy and Spirit Ability, the needle pierced through the stone like that of a cloth. There was no restriction and the stone didn't break apart.
Then, Clara attached the stone with the crocodile skin and repeated it until she sewed the entire circle.
While she was at it, the golem kept hitting the crocodile so that it couldn't get up. The other demons tried to help, but with the Stone Lord handling all the Peak Level Demons around, it was impossible for the Advanced Level Demons or below to do anything to the golem.
The crocodile could only get beaten down. And Clara continued to sew any open skin to the ground directly, preventing the crocodile from getting up anymore.
Many of the crocodile's teeth had dropped to the ground and the jaw was broken. The blood flowing out of the mouth and wounds had begun to fill up the crater beneath its body.
Last but not least, the golem slammed a giant boulder into the crocodile's head multiple times until the crocodile died.
"Hu… Hu…" Clara panted a few times. She hurriedly checked the crocodile to make sure he had died.
After that, she turned around, ready to help the Stone Lord.
However, the Stone Lord was pointing at Noel as if telling her that it was better to go to him instead. After all, the Stone Lord could finally recall the golem. He wouldn't have any trouble defeating a few Peak Level Demons with this.
Clara nodded and turned to Noel to observe his situation. It was quite dire.
Noel was just a Spirit Master who advanced not long ago. Even though his strength was extraordinary, what he could do was limited due to him sealing his identity away, which forced him to not use his ice ability and most of his runes.
That was why Noel's body was covered with wounds. He even had a quite deep wound on his waist.
Still, Noel didn't go down without a fight. Two of the Peak Level Demons had died and the other three were heavily injured.
Even though Noel might look like he could win this fight, it was better to help Noel to avoid any further injuries.
So, Clara leaped straight to Noel and stretched the strings, ripping apart the injured demons.
"Iadre!" Clara looked at Noel, worried. He had contributed a lot to this battle. Not only did he prove himself to be a capable commander that led them to victory, but he also played a huge role in stopping the enemy in this wall alone. So, Clara immediately checked his condition to see his situation.
"Are you alright?"
Noel nodded his head. Although he was in a lot of pain, he still maintained his calm composure so that others wouldn't worry about him.
But Clara was a doctor, so she could understand how hurt he was and the pain he endured. Without hesitation, she dragged Noel back and said, "Your job is done. Leave the rest to us. I'm going to stitch the big wound first and let the healer do the rest. I don't allow any objection, understand?"
Noel made a small smile. "I guess I'll rest for now."
…
Unbeknownst to them, there was another thing that happened during the fight. However, there wasn't a single trace that could alarm them.
If they entered the woods again to find the Plant Lord, they could only find his corpse being eaten by a few low level demons.
Yes, without them realizing it, the Plant Lord had died.
