All the Devils quickly fired barrage after barrage of Demonic Bullets at me and my allies
My team quickly started firing, but against high-class devil's in charge of chasing down a SS-Rank Stay Devil, there was no way they would be stopped by a regular bullet.
My team was quickly mowed down, their equipment was meant to stop bullets, not magic.
"Bastards!" I yelled, enraged, they stood no chance, they were ripped to shreds.
Surrendering my control of the vines around Kuroka, they withered and turn a shade of brown and hardened in place.
Quickly slamming my hands on the ground, vines shot up, blocking the bullets.
'My team was killed in an instant, there is no way I can stand a chance, I was only able to get Kuroka as the paralysis stacks the more they're injured, these devils are at their peak state.'
I could use the Bell of Entropy, but that will also affect me, and it could just kill everyone instantly, it's not a risk I'm willing to take at the moment.
An idea suddenly came to light, the Shop!
The last time I went to the shop, I was moved into a different space, I was still waiting for the team to arrive, so I left right away, planning to check it out later.
I quickly settled on this idea, channeling almost all the Mana in my body, vines shot out of every part of my body, all the vines was directed at the demons, it was like a tsunami of pain!
I was panting heavily, I felt like I was about to collapse, but I still had something left to do.
Running over to Kuroka, I put my hand on Kuroka, she didn't react, and then I noticed she was knocked out because of her injuries.
The time frame of my all out attack had already ended, and the devils were charging right at us, weapons drawn, ready to end this.
Opening up the System, I quickly tapped on the Shop tab, Kuroka and me quickly disappeared in a swirl that sucked us both in.
Before they even had a chance to stop us, we were already gone.
"Damn it, we should have been quicker with that human!" One of the Devils Shouted Angrily, they failed yet again, at least this time with no casualties.
A devil that was inspecting the corpses of the people he has killed, quickly shouted over to the other's, "Hey, check this out!"
The other devils approached, and he pointed at the symbols on the uniforms.
"I have never seen this symbol before, who do you think they're affiliated with?" one of the devil's said
"I have no clue, but he made away with the SS-Rank Stray, we need to report this immediately." the Devil who apparently looked like he was in charge said.
"But what about the Stray Devil's trail?"
"It was obviously teleportation magic, There is no way we can track their trace without an expert, and by the time we get one, the trail will be gone." the Devil in charge said.
The Devil's quickly flew off, not even noticing about the city that wasn't even supposed to exist, and more worried about what the higher ups would say.

I was seething in rage, tears were rolling down my eyes, It's only been a minute since we arrived, I was sitting down leaning against a wall, while Kuroka was on the ground knocked out from her injuries
I was still angry and saddened by the death of my new teammates, I could kill Kuroka right now, but it wasn't really her fault, they wouldn't of attacked me if i didn't catch her, those damn Demons attacked me for no reason!
The surroundings looked like a dungeon corridor with a door in front of me and metal bars behind, limiting access to only the Shop.
Stabilizing my emotions I got off the ground, and threw Kuroka over my shoulders, not caring about the apparent lack of clothes she was wearing, walking over to the door I opened it and entered the Shop.
When I entered the shop, I was stunned for a second by the scenery, it looked nothing like the corridor we were just in.
The Shop wasn't anything luxurious, but it looked a lot better than the 'dungeon' we were just in.
The shop had a wooden interior, more like a cabin than a dungeon, there were many shelves spread around the room, with various weapons, books, scrolls, potions, and glowing cards which I think are skills or abilities.
I started looking around the shop, in front of every item a small panel displayed the name, description, and price of the item, there was a lot of interesting stuff.
The thing I was most interested in were the health, and mana potions. I could heal Kuroka, and get back my energy.
Even if Kuroka didn't want to join the Chaos Insurgency, I know her personality, and she would at least help me defeat the demons who might still be lingering around, to pay me back for saving her.
Sure, I could use the Shop to hide from enemies, but if I ever return, I will be placed right back where I originally was.
The worse case scenario is that time freezes on the outside, and I'll be slaughtered as soon as I leave.
I quickly bought both the mana and health potion for 100 Capture Credits each, which is a good price, I would have bought more, but I got sidetracked and something caught my eye.
A Loot Box, you might be asking why? Well the answer, most of the good things were incredibly expensive, and since it was six more days until the first SCP spawns, it would give me a better chance of survival until then.
The price of the loot box and potions were 950 Credits in total, leaving me with only 50 left, depending on my luck it just might be worth it.
Quickly I decided to leave the shop, I don't want Kuroka to die due to her injuries, because I wanted to browse…
Exiting to the corridor of the Shop, I drank my mana potion while I laid down Kuroka.
Holding back my blush, I had to strip her, so I can apply the health potion to her wounds properly, it was extremely embarrassing, but it was crucial for her survival.
Her beauty was incredibly distracting, but I focused as hard as I could, and slowly poured a small amount on each of her wounds, it was quite incredible how fast the gashes, and cuts healed.
I saved the rest of the potion for when she woke up, as it's more effective to drink it, and it would probably heal her internal injuries too.
Putting her clothes back on, I sat her gently on the ground, and sat down next to her, and I decided to open the loot box.
Opening my inventory, I selected the loot box and opened it.
~~~
[Low Tier Loot Box] has been unboxed!
2x Chaos Insurgency Uniforms (Unique)
1x Low Tier Swift Magic Scroll (C+)
2x Low Tier Health Potion (C)
1x Permanent Mana Enhancement Potion (B)
1x Low Tier Mana Potion (C-)
~~~
Looking at the rewards I was quite happy, some of this stuff the shop didn't sell, or was in his opinion priced too high compared to other items of similar qualities.
I decided to look at the Quick Magic Scroll, and the Mana Enhancement Potion first.
~~~
Low Tier Swift Magic Scroll (C+)
Description: A guide of using Low Tier magic spells of Swift Magic
Spell's:
The Hare.
Speeding Bullet.
Shadowless Flight.
Flicker Step Technique.
~~~
Permanent Mana Enhancement Potion (B)

I couldn't be happier with the items I got, both would help me out a lot, but I was also wondering how fast I would be able to learn magic.
Taking both items out of my inventory, I couldn't help but notice both items looked a lot different from the ones in the Shop.
The scroll, was three times as large as the ones in the shop, and upon opening it, it talked about all the techniques in amazing detail.
The Mana Enhancement Potion on the other hand looked almost identical to the mana potion, expect the Liquid seemed to glow in the dark.
Gulping down the Mana Enhancement Potion, it tasted like extremely bitter, and minty, kind of like mint mouth wash mixed with bleach.
Opening the scroll, I decided to study it while waiting for Kuroka to wake up.
