They arrived at the country's border... The guard had already been informed of their arrival, so they let them pass with ease.
Fein exited the carriage with Michael and Kidd.
"We need to get there quickly because the longer we wait, the more people will die," Michael said solemnly.
"Yes, with the city's corners, the carriage will only slow us down; we need to run there as fast as we can." Fein muttered.
"No, leave it to me. With that distance, I can teleport the three of us there. If it weren't for huge consumption, I would have teleported the three of us there already," Michael sighed.
A circle of black shadows appeared beneath their feet and attempted to pull them down. "Do not resist my Shadow Teleportation." Michael reminded the two.
Just like that, they were pulled by the shadow and passed through the ground in an instant.
They are now in a dark environment that appears to be an inverted mirror of the real world. They are freely floating in the sky, looking down at the empty infrastructures.
Michael said with a smile as he looked at him. "This is the Shadow Realm. You can go anywhere in the World as long as you have enough Degu; we have to be quick because every time we spend here will deplete my reserves."
"You have to get used to this feeling; the first time I did it, I nearly vomited all the food I ate," Kidd said quietly to Fein.
Michael takes the lead because he is the most familiar with the shadow realm.
Ten minutes passed... They arrived at a location marked on the map, but it's in the shadow realm. Michael called off his technique. The shadow drew us again, but this time it was above their heads.
They suddenly found themselves on the roof of a house.
"Help!"
"Help us!"
"The demons killed my child"
People are fleeing in all directions, some are crying, and the majority are injured. The situation is tragic; despite the fact that they rushed into this location at full speed, the casualties are still significant. Several houses were destroyed, leaving only rubble, and there was fire everywhere...
*Ting* *ting*
The sound of fighting could be heard 43 meters away, where a group of guards was stalling the Demons with their various types of abilities. But it was only a matter of time before they were defeated. After all, Demons were born with stronger bodies than humans. Their power system is extremely adaptable and refined. They can use magic to cast powerful attacks, defend themselves, and perform other impossible feats that only wizards in a fantasy novel can perform.
"We needed to help them right away or they wouldn't last long," Fein said as he ran in their direction.
Michael and Kidd nodded, and they quickly used their abilities to assist the guards. In the blink of an eye, Michael transformed into a shadow and flew towards them. Fein's eyes widened with surprise.
'He can transform his body into a shadow, increasing his speed and agility. This ability is very useful in assassination, escape, and spying,' Fein reasoned.
This ability is considered overpowered in all places.
'What if he got to Rank S? Can he use shadow servants like in Jackie Chan, or can he get a shadow legion by killing his enemies like in Solo Leveling?'
Fein's pupils constricted as he began to consider Michael's limitless potential.
"Don't die," Kidd said solemnly to him.
A transparent film started to envelop Kidd's entirety, and he vanished.
Using the flashing dash, Fein adjusted his body to its maximum speed while ignoring gravity and friction. Because of his current speed, they cannot see his silhouette... Michael devised a strategy in which they would sneak attack and try to reduce the number of enemies as much as possible. Because of their abilities and skills, the three of them are skilled at sneak attacks.
Fein arrived quickly at the location, where sixteen guards were stationed. The majority of them are Rank D Degu Users. Despair filled each of their faces as they gazed at the four dead bodies of their teammates lying at the feet of the demons, but they refused to flee because they knew their families were waiting for them.
On the demon side, there are at least thirty of them, five of which are Rank C and the rest are D ranks.
"We will take down as many of them before we die!" A big man full of muscles shouted with a determined voice.
When they heard that, the others shouted back, and determination replaced the despair in their hearts.
Fein looked at them with awe. Few people would have the courage in the face of death.
Fein scoured the area for any traces of Michael and Kidd... Fein was able to spot them, and they, like him, were waiting for the right moment to strike. Michael also turned to face him and made some of the hand signals that soldiers used to communicate on the battlefield.
'Oh, so he wants to quickly dispatch two members of Class C?' and he'd like me to hold one of them for a minute? 'Fein pondered his message.
If it's just holding them back, it's not a problem; if Fein wasn't afraid of revealing his strength, He could even kill the five of them with his superior body and lethal techniques.
The battle between the Demons and the Guards had already reached a climax, with the Rank D demons constantly launching offensive spells like fireball and wind blades at the guards. Fortunately, there were four people among them who could defend themselves well.
The Five Rank C demons were gathering their magical power in a circle, preparing to unleash high-level magic on the four combined defenses.
The guards were looking at the spell with trepidation, unable to do anything but wait for their impending doom, when a shadow appeared at the two Rank C without them noticing.
Just like that, two heads quickly flew in the air. The spell was interrupted, causing the three remaining Rank C demons to bear the powerful backlash of their spell. Their magical power in the body is in disarray, causing severe harm to their internal organs.
The demons were looking at the shadow that appeared out of nowhere, while the guards were looking at it with hope and anticipation.
'Now...' Fein quickly thought.
He appeared near one of them, who was launching a dark flame at Michael, but Fein didn't let it do what it wanted. He slashed his sword in the demon's direction with Degu and managed to chop off his left arm.
The arms were neatly and precisely cut down, causing blood to spurt out.
*Argh*
The Demon growled in pain as his magical power temporarily increased and infused it in his arm, the severed arm regrowing at a rate visible to the naked eye. A new flesh of meat quickly formed, resembling an arm. The Demon had gained a new left arm in an instant.
*Tch* Fein clicked his tongue at the convenience the magic system provided..
'Their magic can do that as well?
Fein became even more intrigued by their power system more than before.'
