-Fain's POV-
I opened my eyes and looked to 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 is pale and he looks like someone who had just been recently discharged from a hospital.
The wolves were clutching their eyes in pain while howling miserably... I dash towards them and easily swipe their necks using my sword. As they were distracted by the pain caused by their eyes, they didn't have time to notice me at all. Even if they were, it will not change anything because they were severely injured.
I retrieved the medical tools in my bag and the healing potion the Ranger's Eye provided us. I walk towards Kidd and say. "Congratulations for 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 with a weak tone.
I took out two violet and red potions and gave him one for each color. While I 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 by official channels. I am an official Degu-User that works for an organization that is affiliated with the authorities that's why we have the privileged to get this potion that is considered a panacea. Though, we only receive one every two weeks.
I looked at the injury on my chest which was now slowly healing... I didn't expect that fucking wolf to suddenly appear beside me. That was really a close call... I didn't even know how that happened so I decided to ask Kidd who is an expert in this 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 my mind.
"So, I am just unlucky right?" I said with helplessness while cursing my own bad luck.
Kidd looked at me 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."
He laughed with a boastful expression...
"You are still about the beating yesterday? It's not my fault for being good at everything" I argued while making a smug face.
Hearing me, Kidd shut up instantly and looked at me 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.
I just looked at him speechlessly. In fact, Michael and Kidd are already within the scope of genius.
"Ahm... So what's the next plan?" I asked him.
"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 says 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." I commented with a serious face. "Let's go we need to hurry before that demons notice us"
I dashed from tree to tree while Kidd was tailing me behind... I am now more ready to harvest extra exp. The required for the upgrade of my talent is Eight thousand one hundred which was quite astronomical.

-25 minutes later-
I stop running to look at the cave that was exuding malevolent waves in front of me. Kidd takes 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 me, which I also use for the Lapu-Lapu sword.
This is the poison that Michael gave us to kill the demons more quickly during the time when we were dealing with the invasion.
After preparing all things that we had to prepare. We sneakily entered the cave afraid of making the slightest sound.
Inside the cave... there are traces of activities that can be seen. The smell of sulfur is everywhere, my nose was itching because of the strong smell.
I was the one leading the way, while Kidd was using his stealth to provide backup immediately if something wrong happens. I looked below and I happen to see dozen of footprints different sizes.
"Wait... there's a lot of footsteps here" I immediately notified him.
"It seems tha-" Before he 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 our way sounded.
"Shit, I think that sound just notified them of our presence," I told him my 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.
We then retreated at the maximum speed possible...
In the mouth of the cave where we were supposed to exist... Dozen of silhouettes can be seen. They are at least hundreds and all of them carry different weapons.
'It was too late.' I thought with dread.
"It seems that we had no choice but to fight. We are severely outnumbered, there are at least hundreds of them. The fortunate thing is all of Class F." Kidd whispered beside me.
"Yes, we had to find narrow passageways to limit their attack output on us," I said quickly.
Even though all of them are Rank F. We still had to be cautious because hundreds of them will be able to exhaust us to death. Their numbers can bridge the gap in the realm. Even more, they are all demons whose bodies are innately stronger than humans.
