Chapter 34 The Demon Slayer
-Fain's POV-
I was now on my way to Celebista Town to hunt the spotted demons that were sighted a few days ago. The Mayor specifically requests our help because of the popularity of our organization when it comes to fighting Supernatural beings.
I am the only one on this mission because of my specific request. I want to gain experience and grind exp as much as possible and reach Rank A within a year.
After that nightmare, I was restless. Every second that passed feels valuable to me. As long as the hidden threat was not resolved I vowed that I would not relax. I would fucking grind as much as possible.
I would never let my guard down again. I need to take precautions and take into account all possible situations. Because a slight mistake or error on my part might endanger me and the people around me. I won't take any chances anymore.
...
[Celebista Town]
-I am currently tracking the demons using a device that can detect their energy within 2km of its range. It sounds awesome but with the size of the city, it can only be described as finding a needle in the middle of a haystack.
The people here are very enthusiastic about outsiders. I was just walking randomly when a family of three invited me to have a meal and even introduce me to the things I need to know and the situation in the city.
I even thought that they might have some ulterior motives or schemes prepared to scam me or something... But Nah, they are really just a generous and hospitable bunch.
I am now wondering if my perspective is already twisted to doubt everyone. Though, even If that's the case I would not change anything because It might save my life one day.
While I was walking, I couldn't help but look in awe when passing on every street in the city. If there's one word that I can describe it. It was literally PROSPEROUS as heck.
With humongous buildings, a Crowded market, and Different kinds of establishments. I didn't even see a trace of homeless people.
After hours of touring the city, the device in my hand suddenly beeps crazily. I am now in what looks like a dark alley. Even this corner of the city is spotlessly clean and organized which was very unusual for a place like this. There's definitely something suspicious going in here...
While I was about to walk straight ahead towards it. I suddenly heard two voices inaudibly talking behind the wall not far away from me. If not for my enhanced hearing I would not even hear them. So I decided to sneakily go opposite behind them to eavesdrop on what they were saying.
The two voices are different than what humans should sound like. They are hoarse like those demons. So, it seems that the device in my hands really works.
"As per the order of Lord Beelzebub. We have to distract the human government to misdirect them from our original objectives."
One of the voices says...
"HAHAHAHA, If our plan succeeds we will be rewarded with a demon potion. We can finally rise through the ranks!"
The other one was laughing crazily.
Fuck... These demons would really do anything to cause chaos. Unfortunately for them, they bump into me. I smirked after thinking how I would gain another series of exps.
Fucking 'Probe'!

After seeing their pitiful stats, I suddenly lost my interest and decided to end them quickly. Even their name in the interface says so.
Just like that, I manage to locate their hideout in the city. Most of them are fucking weak and their stats were fucking garbage.
So, in just 1 week... I cleared all of them. It was very easy and anti-climatic. If there's one thing that I find difficult, it was more on tracking them. The city is big as hell and the demons were hiding like rats in the sewers after finding out that someone was hunting them. So, yeah I should not have startled the snakes. Next time, I decided to act more carefully and locate all of them so that I can eradicate them in one fell swoop.
...
-1 Year Later-
During the past years. I grind for 12 hours a day... I hunt demons in every part of the country. Some even gave me a freaking title. "Demon Slayer" This alias resounded throughout the neighboring countries. I was known as someone who would kill demons at all costs. In the process of killing demons, I save a lot of people causing my fame to skyrocket. I was even promoted in Ranger's eye and received several medals in different countries.
My gains through my blood and sweat finally paid off. I became even more experienced in our line of work. Countless big organizations were offering me their olive branches but I refuse. Finally, my strength had already broken through. I'm now officially A-Rank. When my friends learned that, they were shocked that they almost piss their pants. Am I not worried that my strength was revealed? Absolutely not... With my current strength, few people would dare to provoke me. I am now confident in facing anything that comes on my way. Well, except for monstrous S Ranks obviously. but worry not, those people only act when something that is worthy of their attention. For example, the rise of a demon lord. Plus my talent has already reached A Rank in all aspects.
I can even learn any technique just by looking at it once. If I decided to try anything, I was certain to become an expert at it 100% in a short time. My swordsmanship also reaches the point that I can do anything that Zoro and Dracule Mihawk could, even surpassing them isn't impossible with sufficient time. When holding the sword I felt a strange sensation. It's like I was one with it like it was already an extension of my body just like my limbs. I can even cut mountains 300 meters away from me. not only in my sword but in every weapon my prowess was equivalent to it. If there was the title for Strongest Swordsman in the World here. I would probably be the one to hold it. But who knows? there might be someone out there that is better than me.
Even without the abilities. I'm confident to wipe the floor with the top A-Rank degu users. And this is my stats now...
