In the end, it was Lane who took it upon himself to eliminate all the infected. Damien, Hallie, and Arlo were just too soft for it… Even when they were almost infected themselves, they still couldn't bring themselves to do it.
Although, it seemed that they hadn't even noticed it themselves. If it wasn't for the fact that he still had his Mana Scan active, Lane also might have missed it… But when Hallie and Arlo came close to the affected, the parasite wanted to jump onto them, finding them to be more suitable hosts. If Lane hadn't seen it in time, and sent his Wind Blades, precisely striking the microscopic monster worms, they would have lost two team members.
Which meant that the monsters weren't a joke. Not only were they tiny and tricky to deal with, but they were at least an A-rank.
Naturally, Lane and Damien were still fine.
Well… At least physically. When Damien looked around the street, his frown deepened so much that it seemed almost impossible to have a frown so deep…
