Chapter 34: The Demon Slayer
Fein was now on his way to ‘Celebista Town’ to hunt for the spotted demons that were sighted a few days ago. The Mayor specifically requests their help because of the popularity of their organization when it comes to fighting Supernatural beings.
He was the only one on this mission because of his specific request. He wants to gain experience and grind exp as much as possible and reach Rank A within a year.
After that nightmare, He was restless. Every second that passed feels valuable to him. As long as the hidden threat was not resolved, Fein vowed that he would not relax. He would fucking grind as much as possible.
He would never let his guard down ‘again’. He needs to take precautions and take into account all possible situations. Because a slight mistake or error on his part might endanger him and the people around him. He won’t take any chances anymore.
...
-Celebista Town-
Fein was currently tracking the demons using a device that can detect their energy within 2km of its range. It sounds awesome, but with the size of the city, he can only describe it as finding a needle in the middle of a haystack.
.....
The people here are very enthusiastic about outsiders. Fein was just walking randomly when a family of three invited him to have a meal and even introduced him to the things that he need to know and the situation in the city.
Fein even thought that they might have some ulterior motives or schemes prepared to scam him or something... But Nah, they are really just a generous and hospitable bunch.
He is now wondering if his mind is twisted that he would doubt everyone with just the slightest things. Though, even if that’s the case, he would not change anything because it might save his life one day.
While Fein was walking, he couldn’t help but look in awe when passing on every street in the city. If there’s one word that he can describe it. It was literally PROSPEROUS as heck.
With humongous buildings, a crowded market, and different kinds of establishments. Fein didn’t even see a trace of homeless people.
After hours of touring the city, the device in his hand suddenly beeps crazily. he was now in what looks like a dark alley. ‘Even this corner of the city is spotlessly clean and organized, which was very unusual for a place like this. There’s definitely something suspicious going on here...’ he scanned the place with skepticism.
While Fein was about to walk straight ahead towards it. He suddenly heard two voices inaudibly talking behind the wall not far away from him. If not for his enhanced hearing, he would not even hear them. So he decided to sneak opposite them behind the wall to eavesdrop on what they were saying.
The two voices are different from what humans should sound like. They are hoarse, like those demons. So, it seems that the device in his hands really works.
“As per the order of Lord Beelzebub. We have to distract the human government to misdirect them from our original objectives.”
One of the voices says...
“Kekekekeke, if our plan succeeds, we will be rewarded with a demon potion. We can finally rise through the ranks!”
The other one was laughing crazily.
‘Fuck... These demons would really do anything to cause chaos. Unfortunately for them, they bump into me!’ Fein smirked after thinking how he would gain another series of exp.
‘Probe’!

After seeing their pitiful stats, Fein suddenly lost his interest and decided to end them quickly. Even their name on the interface says so.
Just like that, he manage to locate their hideout in the city. Most of them are fucking weak and their stats were fucking garbage.
So, in just 1 week... Fein cleared all of them. It was very easy and anti-climatic. If there’s one thing that he finds difficult, it was more on tracking them. The city is big as hell and the demons were hiding like rats in the sewers after finding out that someone was hunting them. So, yeah, he should not have startled the snakes. Next time, he decided to act more carefully and locate all of them so that he can eradicate them in one fell swoop.
...
One year passed in the blink of an eye, during the past years. Fein grinded for 12 hours a day... He hunted demons in every part of the country. That someone even gave him a freaking title.
“Demon Slayer” This alias resounded throughout the neighboring countries. Fein was known as someone who would kill demons at all costs. In the process of killing demons, he also saves a lot of people, causing his fame to skyrocket. He was even promoted to Ranger’s eye and received several medals in different countries.
His gains through his blood and sweat finally paid off. Fein became even more experienced in their line of work. Countless big organizations were offering him their olive branches, but he refused. Finally, his strength had already broken through. He was now officially A-Rank.
When his friends learned that, it shocked them that they almost piss their pants. Was he not worried that his strength was revealed? Absolutely not... With his current strength, few people would dare to provoke him. Fein was now confident in facing anything that comes on his way. Well, except for the monstrous S Rankers, obviously.
But worry not, those people only act when something that is worthy of their attention. For example, the rise of a demon lord. Plus, his talent has already reached A Rank in all aspects.
Fein can even learn any technique just by looking at it once. If he decided to try anything, he was certain to become an expert at it 100% in a short time. His swordsmanship also reaches the point that he can do anything that Zoro and Dracule Mihawk could. Even surpassing them isn’t impossible with sufficient time. When holding the sword, he felt a strange sensation. It’s like he was one with it, like it was already an extension of his body, just like his limbs.
He can even cut mountains 300 meters away from him. Not only in his sword, but in every weapon, his prowess was equivalent to it. If there was the title for the Strongest Swordsman in the World here. He would probably be the one to hold it. But who knows? There might be someone out there that is better than him.
Even without abilities. He’s confident to wipe the floor with the top A-Rank degu users. And this is his stats now...
