22 First Mission: Demons Invasion Part 3

'How should I handle this without exposing all of my strength?'

'Hmm, they're already aware of Flashing Dash, which I used when sparring with Captain... '

'Maybe I should just use it and my martial arts...'

In reality, Fein's thoughts lasted only a second, and he didn't want to give the demon another chance to launch magic, so he dashed forward and thrust his knee upward into the demon's face.

His powerful attack deformed the opponent's face. Fein didn't wait for it to respond; instead, He quickly followed his previous attack with an elbow strike and a roundhouse kick infused with degu energy. It grunts in pain as a result of his constant attack... Fein didn't give it a chance to think or counterattack. He continued to pummel it with a barrage of quick and precise punches. "WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA! WUDA!"

While fighting, Fein imagined himself as Star Platinum with his own version...

The Demon lost consciousness as a result of the severe beating that he gave. After all, Fein didn't just randomly throw punches; due to the differences in the anatomy of demons and humans, he had to figure out where the vital points are... As a certified doctor and with his improved talent, he quickly deduced them during the fight by getting the information by treating the demon's body with his fist as a punching bag.

Fein was about to end his opponent's pitiful life with his sword, but a blue barrier created by magical power blocked his attack.

Fein looked at the source, and it was one of the Rank C demons. The demon looked at him with wariness because of his earlier display of strength, and says with a hoarse voice. "Human, I must say you are very strong among your kind, but the one you just defeated is the weakest among us; now you will pay for your arrogance!"

"Less talk, more fight!" Fein said in a mocking tone.

The C-rank demon glared at him with viciousness, and his magic poured down on him. He unleashed a massive tornado in Fein's direction. The tornado was moving quickly, destroying everything in its path, including the gold statue on the side.

"That's a powerful attack you have there, but I bet you used at least half of your magic power to activate that spell," Fein said with a smile.

Fein used his Flashing Dash to get as far as he could from the tornado.

"How stupid... Casting a spell with a low hit rate," Fein looked at the demon with a mocking expression.

But the demon only sly grinned to him as a response.

'Ops...' Fein knew that he fucked up.

On the ground, vines quickly started to grow, trying to restrict his movement...

Fein's pupils constricted as a result of the suddenness of the situation. "Not a chance."

Using his trained reflexes, he stared at the vines that were approaching him.

"Do you need assistance, Fein?" asked a familiar voice.

"No, you take care of the one who launches the tornado. I can manage myself... after all, I didn't train for nothing," Fein replied.

"Then good luck." The voice said with a hint of relief.

'That demon will die...' This thought went through his head.

Fein then concentrated on the vines in front of him, trying to locate the demon who cast it.

"Come out, you can't hide forever!" Fein said, trying to lure the enemy demon.

However, no one responded...

The tornado was speeding towards him, and Fein felt the sweat on his back while dodging vines from every direction and cutting some in the process. If it hadn't been for his quick reaction time, the vines would have already entangled him.

The Demon who unleashed the tornado smiled triumphantly, but then... Suddenly, a light sword was thrust into his chest, pulverizing his heart. He stared at it in astonishment before his vision went blank.

Because of the death of its caster, the tornado dissipated.

When Fein looked in that direction, Kidd had a smug expression on his face and his hand had transformed into a light sword.

'Just as I suspected, his ability has some relation to light after all,' Fein thought to inwardly.

Fein smiled at Kidd and gave him a thumbs-up. The vines were pulled back to the ground, after sensing that continuing would be futile.

Fein let out a helpless sigh. "That scum knows how to hide; it appears that I need to improve my detection abilities in order to avoid going through this kind of shit again."

He turned to face the last C Rank, who was firing thunder bullets at their captain, who was dodging them by blending into the shadows. He is unable to approach because the enemy is covered in thunder at a 180-degree angle, forming an absolute defense. To accomplish such a feat, this one seems competent and has incredible control over his magic.

Fein took a step towards Kidd. "It appears that the captain is having difficulty; do you think we should assist?"

"No, he can do it; even if we help, we won't be able to stop that all-around defense." It's only a matter of time before the demon's defeat due to the massive consumption of magical power, and the Captain is well aware of this."

"Well, you've got a lot of experience in this kind of thing..." Fein exclaimed in awe.

Kidd looked at him with a numb expression and says. "Hey, don't tease me... I know that someone like you would know it already."

Fein just shrugged and turned around to deal with the cannon fodders.

Kidd noticed his intention...

"Well, let me assist you so we can clean them faster," Kidd said as he trailed behind him.

"No, I'll handle it... "I need it to improve my battle experience," Fein explained hurriedly to him.

Kidd gave him a strange look at first, but quickly shrugged it off. "All right, that sounds reasonable."

Fein nodded gratefully... as if he would let him decrease his precious exp, as he was already heartbroken over not killing the previous Rank C demon who launched the tornado.

Fein did the same thing when he first killed the unconscious demon...

*Ding!*

*415 exp gained for killing Rank C Demon...*

Fein licked his lips in delight.

'Finally, my long-lost experience has returned!' Fein thought of this with a twinkle in his eyes.

Fein looked at the dozen Rank D's, where the demons were occupied engaging the guards. Who can now fight because there is less pressure on them, but they are still at a disadvantage, resulting in the current stalemate...

"HAHAHAHA! A bunch of walking exp's here I come!" Fein exclaimed as he ran towards them.
