Clone Ascension

At the critical moment, FangBro flashed beside Evan.

His arm bones burst through flesh, weaving themselves into a massive bone shield—

a white, umbrella‑like barrier that wrapped around both of them.

The corrosive liquid sprayed from the Gravity Demon’s maw splashed onto the shield,

hissing violently as smoke rose with a sharp, acidic stench.

FangBro gritted his teeth in pain—

that shield was literally his own bone.

He grabbed Evan and leapt back.

With a swift motion, he activated Limb‑Shed Survival,

detaching the entire arm‑shield and regrowing a new one instantly.

The two retreated beyond the reach of the Gravity Dust.

Evan frowned.

“This Gravity Dust is too troublesome.”

FangBro nodded.

“If we can lure it out of the Attraction Stone vein and into normal soil,

I can use Earth‑Dive freely.”

“Alright.”

Evan knew the truth—

he was only a fresh Cocoon‑tier.

Against a Tier‑3 S‑grade beast, he had no chance alone.

FangBro was the real backbone of this hunt.

“I’ll draw its aggro,” FangBro volunteered.

He was safer doing it—

Evan would be crippled the moment he stepped into the Gravity Dust field.

FangBro picked up a chunk of shattered Attraction Stone

and hurled it at the Gravity Demon.

The beast immediately lunged toward them.

Evan and FangBro shot upward toward the tunnel entrance.

They successfully lured the Gravity Demon to the mouth of the cavern—

but it refused to leave.

A Tier‑3 beast wasn’t mindless;

it sensed FangBro’s threat and stayed cautious.

FangBro repeatedly approached,

throwing poison whenever he found an opening.

Finally—

the Gravity Demon snapped.

It surged out of the cavern in a rage.

After a long chase through the tunnels,

FangBro managed to drag it out of the Attraction Stone vein

and into the natural soil passages.

Here, Earth‑Dive was king.

Evan rejoined the fight.

This time, he abandoned mobility entirely—

letting FangBro carry him while he focused on pure offense.

The Gravity Demon spread Gravity Dust across the area

and intensified the gravitational pull.

Anyone stepping inside would immediately slow down.

FangBro relied solely on Earth‑Dive,

appearing beside the Gravity Demon with Evan in tow.

Evan unleashed everything:

Ant‑Force

Needle Strike

Poison application

Then FangBro whisked him away before the beast retaliated.

Round after round,

the Gravity Demon accumulated wounds—

each one filled with corrosive toxins.

Evan’s physical attacks barely harmed it,

but the poisons gnawed at its vitality.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Still—

a Tier‑3 S‑grade beast was far tougher than the Mutated Giant Crocodile.

The toxins weakened it,

but killing it outright was another matter.

Just as Evan prepared for another cycle,

the Gravity Demon suddenly coiled into a ring—

and swallowed its own tail.

Both Evan and FangBro froze.

“What the hell…?”

Moments later—

the beast bit off half its own body.

A surge of life energy erupted from within.

Its wounds healed instantly,

even the punctures Evan had made.

Only the toxins remained,

their spread halted but not removed.

“A self‑healing skill?!”

Evan was stunned.

The Gravity Demon shrank in size,

but its agility skyrocketed.

It lunged at them with terrifying speed.

FangBro didn’t hesitate—

he grabbed Evan and dove underground.

The Gravity Demon roared,

manipulating gravity to shake the entire tunnel.

Soil and rocks collapsed from above.

FangBro dodged with Earth‑Dive,

but the Gravity Chain forced them back underground again.

“What now?” FangBro muttered.

They quickly reassessed.

The healing skill had disrupted their rhythm,

but they still had one advantage—

poison.

Evan said:

“It can’t use that self‑devouring heal again so soon.

And it still has a ton of toxins inside.

If we can trigger a second poison burst,

we can wear it down!”

They had no choice.

Even for Evan, fighting above his tier was brutally difficult.

But they had come too far to quit.

They reappeared before the Gravity Demon.

This time, FangBro deliberately exposed himself.

The Gravity Chain yanked him straight toward the beast’s gaping maw.

FangBro hurled a handful of multicolored toxins into its mouth

and instantly wrapped himself in a Steel Cocoon,

bursting free a moment later.

The poisons detonated inside the Gravity Demon’s head.

Its flesh turned pale and shriveled as toxins spread through its body.

The beast shrieked like something dragged from hell,

thrashing wildly and shaking the entire underground.

FangBro escaped and returned with Evan.

Evan unleashed Raging Myriad Tides,

stunning the Gravity Demon again.

He leapt onto its back—

where the toxins had pooled beneath the skin—

and hammered the area with Ant‑Force,

forcing the poisons to erupt outward.

The Gravity Demon awoke,

and FangBro immediately pulled Evan away.

They retreated into the Attraction Stone vein,

watching from a distance.

The Gravity Demon was losing control.

Toxins burst from its head and back,

its body collapsing as it slammed into the tunnel walls.

Evan and FangBro waited patiently.

Whenever it paused,

they would dart in,

cut it, poison it,

and retreat again.

The Gravity Demon tried to flee—

but FangBro’s Earth‑Dive was faster.

It became a battle of endurance.

Time passed in darkness.

Evan’s stomach even growled.

Finally—

the Gravity Demon collapsed.

Not dead,

but utterly powerless.

It lay limp in the soil,

unable to even open its jaws.

Evan and FangBro exchanged a satisfied smile.

Time to end this monster’s life.

Evan pulled out his portable extractor

and stabbed it deep into the beast’s body.

He pressed the switch.

They stayed alert—

but the Gravity Demon offered no resistance.

It died quietly.

Evan removed the extractor,

holding the glowing yellow extract in his hand.

His heart pounded with excitement.

Finally.

The Gravity Demon extract—

the one containing Gravity Dust.

He had paid a heavy price:

10,000 EvolutionTech points for intel

10,000 Dongli contribution points for Tier‑3 poison

150,000 EvolutionTech points to compensate FangBro (≈15 billion Lin coins)

But even so—

he had made a massive profit.

EvolutionTech’s official hunting commission

cost 80 billion.

Evan said:

“I’ll absorb it here.

No need to risk carrying it up and getting robbed.”

Especially with those Linhaven Noble Academy brats above.

FangBro blinked.

He thought Evan hadn’t finished digesting his previous extract.

Had he already?

But he didn’t question it.

He simply nodded and stood guard.

Evan tilted his head back

and swallowed the extract in one gulp.

His face instantly twisted.

Sour.

Indescribably sour.

So sour he nearly lost control of his facial muscles.

Once again—

he had failed to encounter the legendary “sweet extract.”
