I CAN UPGRADE MY TALENT IN EVERYTHING

Voli was literally wreaking havoc as one paw, and one stomp is enough to squeeze the ghouls to death.

The claws of the ghouls can't even scratch Voli's fur.

Sofia on the other was reaping lives with her scythe as if she was dancing gracefully in the middle ground proficiently. Aoi was supporting Sofia by creating ice walls to cover Sofia's blind spots and an ice lance to kite the ghouls and thin them down while she was in the air.

Just like that hours passed, and the corpses of ghouls kept falling on the ground.

"Fuck why do I feel that their numbers didn't decrease at all?" Fein cursed as he slash a ghoul at a fast speed causing its head to fly in the air.

He noticed that the ghouls don't have blood on them, which made him uncomfortable.

Sofia pointed at the hundred of ghoul corpses on the ground while gasping.

"No, It's the opposite, the number kept increasing."

Fein squinted his eyes, he exerted his strength on the legs unto the knees and leaped on the ceiling of the passage. What he saw made his scalp numbed. Several large holes are now opened in the walls that were producing ghouls endlessly.

'Shit!'

Fein descended quickly to the ground and shouted. "There's a hole that kept producing them! If we want to escape, we have to seal the hole first! Killing them would be futile as they are literally endless. We would be only exhausted if this continues."

"I can do the sealing part, leave it to me! But it would only be temporary okay?" Sofia who has hundreds of blood bullets around her responded.

"That's okay" Fein responded.

He knew that Sofia meant, She has blood manipulation that can condense any items she wants. Fein guessed that she would create an item that can block that passageway like a blood boulder or blood net.

'But before that, I have to take down that weird black ghoul first, damn it! it was too slippery... It kept hiding in the dark, how would I supposed to attack it? Hmm... How about I used myself as bait?' Fein's eyes lit up after this idea came to his mind.

Fein looked at the never-ending swarm in front of him and decided to implement his plan. Just like that, he charged toward them, this time he didn't use his sword style but kept slashing by using ordinary sword slashes. Every attack of Fein only manages to kill 3-5 ghouls. He was quickly drowned by the sheer amount of ghouls.

Wounds after wounds kept accumulating on his body, he looked miserable as blood covered his whole being, but if someone would look carefully, all the attacks are on the part where it wasn't lethal as Fein was deliberately trying to tank the attacks so the black ghoul would think that he was weakened.

Fein kept patiently fighting in this way, he knew that if this goes on, even if he didn't die due to injuries, he would die because of blood loss. As five claws were about to come towards him, he dashed towards them and used his abyssal blade to stab their heads.

Just as Fein was about to retract his hand when black smoke appeared along with black claws that were producing dark mist briskly moving towards Fein's chest area.

'Got you this time bitch!' Fein smirked as he saw that his baiting plan succeeded.

He pretended to dodge the black claws by turning around quickly, and as he expected the black claws followed by teleporting in front of him. But this time Fein was prepared. He vanished in his place making the black claws miss their target, Fein appeared on the back of black smoke which was hiding the weird dark ghoul. Without thinking too much he used his sword art, white light flashed consecutively dividing the black ghoul into pieces. It didn't even have the time to react because of Fein's surprising move.

Fein smiled and used his probe and he confirmed that the black ghoul is really dead. "Sofia, it's time to seal the holes!"

Fein immediately took a healing potion and degu recovery potion to recuperate as his degu reserves were running low due to all the fights he had experienced. Fighting the black ghoul just now was just too risky, the success depends if the goal would show up itself, Fein while fighting the white ghouls have sneakily dropped some metal balls on the ground for the purpose of teleporting where the black ghoul might appear, then just like what happened he successfully killed it using his fast attacks with the combination of surprise element that let Fein deal a fatal blow, it was all according to his calculations. This is Fein's true fighting style leans toward sneakiness and assassination.

"Guys buy me time, it would take a while for me to make an object that was as big as those holes," Sofia asked her companions for support.

Fein, Voli, and Aoi one after another came beside Sofia to guard her while clearing the white ghouls in the process.

"My degu reserves are low at the moment, Voli use your domain first"

Voli followed Fein's order and activated his domain ability, suddenly the thin air in the area gathered towards them forming a thick sphere made of air.

'Where's the thunder? It seems Voli's domain-like nature ability has this weakness. Without the required conditions such as clouds to produce thunder. The domain won't be able to generate thunder itself. Unlike Sofia and Aoi who could use their domain in any place.' Fein has some speculation on his heart but he wasn't entirely sure either.

The ghoul swarm surrounded the wind sphere hacking it with white claws, if one sees this scene, it was enough to make them piss their pants.

Just like that, they used this to buy enough time for Sofia. Fein sat down and took this opportunity to heal the puncture wounds and deep claws in his body, What he noticed was the deep cut in his cheek was taking quite some time to heal. He estimates that it would take five healing potions before it fully recovers.

He sighs at the weird power of the black ghoul. 'Without my Ghecko Substitution, I don't know how would I kill that sneaky bastard'

It was the first time that Fein have faced enemies that are proficient in hiding, it was difficult as heck. Fortunately, his set of abilities was quite versatile which helps him keep up with the ever-changing battlefield. This is the strength of a jack of all trades.
