Chapter 622 Clara's Strength

"Let's go!"

"Hurry up!"

Clara and the Stone Lord shouted while looking back. Their bodies had been covered with wounds. And one of the Demon Extermination Squad members had fallen.

The rest of the people also had been covered in wounds.

They had been truly ambushed by the enemies. They thought they had managed to stop the demons from causing any damage. But they never thought that the demons would attack them from another side.

When they were circling the building to return to the fort, they were ambushed by another Superior Demon.

They managed to kill more than a hundred demons, including two Peak Level Demons, but as expected, they had to sacrifice a lot.

The Superior could be handled by Captain Clara and the Stone Lord, but they had to face numerous demons and multiple Peak Level Demons when fighting those two Superior Demons. And this was the result.

Clara gritted her teeth, looking around. 'Our condition is not good right now. The others can still fight, but we are pretty injured right now. My wounds are mostly superficial, but one of them managed to penetrate my muscle. I'm already having a hard time moving my muscles. I can heal myself, but it requires time.

'As for the others, luckily, Jonathan is fine. He has a lot of wounds, but there's no injury serious enough that will cause damage to his body. On the other hand, Stella is a bit serious. Her pinky finger is cut by a demon. I managed to recover the pinky, and it should be possible to reattach it with my power, but it will seriously hinder her in wielding that sword. Last but not least, Ben. He has been covering us this whole time.'

'Although he doesn't have a permanent injury, the inner injury should be quite big. I'm afraid he will have to rest for the rest of the exploration.' Clara clicked her tongue.

Although it was a relief that none of her members died, it was truly frustrating to see them in this state.

'I'm afraid that more Superior Demons have been unleashed. So, we should hurry up and return to the fort so that we can prepare for their attacks.'

'How in the world did the demon notice us? I believe we haven't done anything that can cause such a thing…' Clara looked down, not understanding the reason for the current predicament. She had been observing the other groups as well, especially the one with her. None of them knew the reason.'

The only thing they knew was that the demons suddenly went on a rampage and found them who had been steadily making progress.

So, no one was at fault. Yet, the demons noticed their movement. It was weird to the point she wanted to believe someone had woken up those demons.

But she didn't have any evidence.

However, she couldn't help but recall the time Noel asked for more people.

It seemed that Noel was already aware of this situation. But because he didn't have enough evidence to show to everyone to make them believe it, he could only make this kind of preparation.

'I can understand why Paul has such a high opinion of Noel.' Clara took a deep breath. She had to survive this onslaught and warn the people from the base.

She didn't know whether the other groups returned or not. But handling two Superior Demons with a fort was much more relaxing compared to this kind of battle. There were also other people who managed the fort, so it should be possible to repel them with only her and the Stone Lord.

With that thought in mind, she started calculating the distance.

'There are only five hundred meters left. With our current speed, we can reach it in two minutes.' She muttered inwardly. 'In that case, I don't have to hold back anymore.'

She glanced at the Stone Lord and said, "We'll switch our roles. This time, I'll stall them. You help them block the enemies' attacks."

The Stone Lord was confused at the moment. But looking at her serious expression, the Stone Lord nodded his head. "Sure."

'Spider Transformation.'

As soon as she got the confirmation, Clara released the Spiritual Energy on her back, forming eight spider legs from her back.

There were a pair of eyes under each of her eyes as if she was imitating the spider's eyes. Her instinct had also been enhanced. With the current sense, she could easily find the enemies lurking in the shadows, especially among the trees.

'There it is… Captain's Transformation.' Stella glanced at her with a smile. Surprisingly, despite all the features from the transformation, Clara didn't look ugly at all. The eyes and her focused expression just made her look cool and the eight spider legs behind them created a gallant aura around her. Even Stella couldn't help but think, 'How in the world can you turn such an ugly transformation into a bada.s.s style?'

As soon as she transformed, Clara immediately jumped to the sides repeatedly as if she was trying to fool the demons.

But no matter how much she moved around, a huge portion of the demons would still follow the original group. So, her plan to lure them away failed.

What they didn't notice from Clara's action was how the eight spider legs became a cus.h.i.+on to stop her from cras.h.i.+ng into a tree. The six spider eyes allowed her to move to the spot near the demons, but not close enough to enter their range.

And more importantly, each time she moved around, she attached her string to the tree.

"String Enhancement. Sharp." She poured the Spiritual Energy into the thread and used the last tree to pull it, making the thread tense.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The demons didn't expect there would be a thread this strong. Those without tough skin or extraordinary defense ended up getting sliced by the thread, and those with it ended up stumbling, causing problems to the demons behind them.

The Plant Lord didn't expect such a powerful thread as well, considering the thread was so thin that it looked like it didn't have enough strength to stop something big.

But when Stella saw it, she couldn't help but smirk. 'There it is, the strength of the top five captains in the Demon Banner Army.'
