Chapter 26 Demon’s Hideout

-Fain's POV-

[Forest of Elenor]

I'm in the forest now, with Kidd and Vice-Captain... We are currently looking for the location of the Demons' Base.

We got an idea of where the base was, and it was on this mountain.

We left at 8 a.m. and arrived here at 3 p.m. using the Ranger's Eye carriage, despite the fact that the forest is very far away from the city branch.

I'm carefully scanning the trees... Because I'd been having a bad feeling ever since we arrived in the area. The entire forest is gloomy, and no animals can be seen.

That's why I decided to be extra cautious so that I wouldn't be caught off guard if anything went wrong.

Kidd was wary as well... He has a lot of experience fighting supernatural beings. He was very active in the organization, completing tasks at a rate of 96.51 percent.

He was taking part in every mission he could when he could... Although he appears to be a person who does not take things seriously, I even assumed at first that he is the type of person who enjoys fooling around. But I was surprised that every time we were on a mission, he was very reliable and rigorous in his way of handling things.

-20 minutes later-

We've finally figured out where the base is... We're currently on the run from a place filled with maliciousness. We were getting close when we heard some wolves howling. It was so loud that my ear hurt a little. I quickly covered it with both arms.

"It appears that there are Werewolves here..." Kidd said solemnly.

I looked at him and saw that he was looking in the direction of the howling. "Are they powerful?"

"No, but they have very good coordination and are very bloodthirsty; they will charge at you madly even if they know they will die," Kidd says, his voice trembling.

"Well, it doesn't matter... We need to find the Demon's base quickly and stop them from attacking another city before it's too late," I said as I took my sword from its scabbard.

Kidd agreed with a nod and says. "You're right... we also need to gather information on their remaining bases; otherwise, thousands, if not millions, of people will perish."

After hearing what he said... I clench my fist, wanting to save as many people as I can whenever I can... But I'm not the kind of person who would give my life for them. I still put my own survival first. I only decided to help those people who have cross my path, not everyone because that would tire me to death.

...

-10 minutes later-

I am currently hiding inside a bush... Kidd was beside and we are now discussing the next course of action. Because there are eight werewolves within five meters of our location... We'll have a difficult time fighting them with just the two of us. Worst of all... They're all Rank C, so Kidd and I decided to take down two of them quickly to maximize our use of stealth in this forest. We will use guerilla warfare to reduce their numbers until they are all dead.

"I'll take down the one who appears to be their leader, and then everything will go as planned," he said as he activated his ability.

He vanished in an instant... I leap to the top of a tree to observe them and wait for a chance to strike.

...

-General POV-

The werewolves were howling maniacally, oblivious to the impending danger.

Kidd is now on the back of an unsuspecting wolf who seems to be the leader of the pack. He activated his light sword and successfully slashed the target's neck. The body was splattered with blood and fell to the grass. The wolves were taken aback when they saw their dead leader. They didn't think anyone would be brave enough to kill their leader alone while they were present.

When Kidd saw this, he quickly raised his left hand in a gun-holding posture.

*Shoosh*

Kidd made a shooting gesture in his right hand on the wolf, who was still processing the death of their leader, with a small pointed light lit up in his index finger.

Kidd uttered the ability's name, "Light Beam."

A beam of light manages to penetrate the chest of one of the wolves in an instant. Seeing as he was able to kill two more wolves than expected. He provoked the wolves by running in the opposite direction to escape. All of this happened in a fraction of a second.

The wolves awoke from their trance... With the enemy's overbearing provocation, they howled with bloodshot eyes. They chased Kidd furiously, their green fur erect, and they didn't notice a pair of two eyes staring just above them.

...

-Fain's POV-

I'm astounded by the wolves' stupidity. Kidd manages to take out two of them as a result of it... Well, I must say that it is indeed hard to defend against his ability. After all, that Light Beam is almost as fast as the speed of light right now. If I were on the receiving end, I'm not sure I'd be able to avoid it. At the very least, I am confident that I can quickly turn around to protect my vitals.

I'm now looking back at the wolves who were chasing Kidd. I quickly gathered my foot strength and jumped forward while subconsciously employing the Flashing Dash Technique. I appeared behind the wolved and struck them with my self-created Flashing Scabbard... Because of my incredible attack speed, my sword became a flash of light.

One of the perceptive wolves turned around, as if sensing something. However, it was too late. My attack struck one of them, and his body was severed in a clean cut. Before he died, the wolf had a dumbfounded expression on his face. One of the wolves didn't give me a chance to flee, as if they had learned their previous lesson.

It vanished from its spot and reappeared beside me at a rate faster than anything I'd seen before. I drew my sword to defend myself, but it was too late.

A claw manage to slash my chest, and I was thrown out and slammed into a tree. My chest now has a deep claw-shaped wound... It had a constant flow of blood in it. Because of the pain, my face was twisted.

When they realized this, they surrounded me to keep me from fleeing.

I had an evil grin on my face and was covering my wound to prevent blood loss.

'Now,' I murmured in my head.

"Die, motherfuckers!" I yelled at them.

I bowed my head and gazed at the ground. The wolves were baffled by my actions, but they continued unabated.

"Blinding Spark" A loud voice called out from behind me, Kidd appeared, and a flash of light swept through the entire area like a flashbang.
