Chapter 27: A Dire Situation
Fein opened his eyes and looked at the previous place of the wolves. There, Kidd killed the three of the wolves while severely injuring the remaining two.
Kidd was supporting himself from falling using the tree... His face was pale and he looked like someone who had just that just got out from the hospital.
The wolves were clutching their eyes in pain while howling miserably... Fein dashed towards them and easily swipe their necks using his sword. The light that caused a stinging pain in their eyes distracted them. They didn’t have time to notice him at all. Even if they were, it will not change anything because of the injuries they had.
Fein retrieved the medical tools in his bag and the healing potion the Ranger’s Eye provided to them. Fein walked towards Kidd and says. “Congratulations on advancing in C Rank! Is that your new ability application just now?”
“Yes, but I can’t use it more than five times with my current Degu Capacity... It just lets me blind them temporarily if they are sensitive to light, like the wolves. It would be permanent.” Kidd answered in a weak tone. freeweb novel.co m
Fein took out two blue and red potions and gave him one for each color. While he drank the other two. The red one is for healing light to severe injuries. While the blue one is to quickly replenish the Degu Reserves. This potion is a must for every Degu-User. But, it was too damn expensive and can only be purchased on official channels. Fein was now an official Degu-User that works for an organization that is affiliated with the authorities. That’s why they have the privileged to get this potion that is considered a panacea. Though they only receive one every two weeks.
Fein looked at the injury on his chest, which was now slowly healing... He didn’t expect that fucking wolf to suddenly appear beside him. ‘That was really a close call...’ he thought.

He didn’t even know how that happened, so he decided to ask Kidd, who was an expert in that kind of thing.
“If you are curious, why it suddenly appeared beside you. The thing is... just like us. They can also use abilities. But, unlike us, not every one of them can. In fact, you can only encounter wolves that have the ability like that rarely.” Kidd said, as if reading his mind.
“So, I am just unlucky, right?” Fein said with helplessness while cursing his own bad luck.
Kidd looked at him with a wide grin and says.”Well, you really are. Although you are talented... It seems that lady luck still prefers handsome and a perfect man like me.”
Kidd laughed with a boastful expression...
“You are still about the beating yesterday? It’s not my fault for being good at everything,” Fein argued while making a smug face.
Hearing him, Kidd shut up instantly and looked at him with a traumatized face. “You’re a monster. A person without weakness like you shouldn’t... Never mind, it seems that geniuses like you can’t really be compared to ordinary people like us.”
Fein just looked at Kidd speechlessly. In fact, Michael and Kidd are already within the scope of genius.
“Ahmm... So what’s the next plan?” Fein asked Kidd.
“Well, the place that exudes malice is already here. Furthermore, this must be the reason why the wolves are howling madly... It might be connected there.” Kidd said while pointing at the cave that was exuding thick black mist.
“You’re right... Every time I looked at that place, I feel like there was really something wrong. Plus, the approximate location is coincidently there.” Fein commented with a serious face. “Let’s go. We need to hurry before that demons notice us”
Fein dashed from tree to tree while Kidd was tailing him behind... He’s ready to harvest extra exp. The required for the upgrade of his talent is Eight thousand one hundred, which was quite astronomical.

-25 minutes later-
Fein stopped running and look at the cave that was exuding malevolent waves in front of him. Kidd took out two crimson potions from the bag that he was holding. He poured it into the metal of the sword and spread it using a towel. He gave the other one to Fein, which he also used for his Lapu-Lapu sword.
This is the poison that Michael gave them to kill the demons more quickly during the time when they were dealing with the invasion.
After preparing all things that they had to prepare. They sneakily entered the cave, afraid of making the slightest sound.
Inside the cave, there are traces of activities that could see. The smell of sulfur is everywhere. His nose was itching because of the strong smell.
Fein was the one leading the way, while Kidd was using his stealth to provide backup immediately if something wrong happens. Fein looked below and he happen to see a dozen of footprints that differ in sizes.
“Wait... there’s a lot of footsteps here,” Fein immediately notified Kidd.
“It seems tha-” Before Fein can complete his sentence, a loud beeping sound immediately spread from the surroundings.
The cave tremble, and the sound of the large number of footsteps marching in their direction sounded.
“Shit, I think that sound just notified them of our presence,” Fein told him speculation.
“You are right... maybe it’s high-level magic. And we failed to notice it just means the caster has a higher realm than us. Maybe it was A-Class or Even S... We need to run as quickly as possible before it becomes too late!” Kidd hurriedly said with apprehension.
They then retreated at the maximum speed possible...
In the mouth of the cave, where Fein and Kidd were supposed to exit. Dozen of silhouettes started to appear. They are at least hundreds and all of them carry different weapons.
‘It was too late,’ Fein thought with dread.
“It seems that we had no choice but to fight. They severely outnumbered us. There are at least hundreds of them. The fortunate thing is all of Class F.” Kidd whispered beside him.
“Yes, we had to find narrow passageways to limit their attack output on us,” Fein nodded and suggested a solution.
Even though all of them are Rank F. They still had to be cautious because hundreds of them will be able to exhaust them to death. Their numbers can bridge the gap in the realm. Even more, they are all demons whose bodies are innately stronger than humans.
