The Magician of Sound

"The situation becomes pretty heated there," Kai exclaimed.

"How many?"

"Fifty thousand."

"With the addition of the twenty thousand on the south and a hundred thousand on the west, we are surrounded by forty thousand magical beasts at this moment." Michelle frowned. "Isn't this situation pretty bad?"

"Don't worry. I have a plan and have informed the other generals about it. However, the plan can't proceed if we don't kill the spider as quickly as possible. If we want to minimize the casualty, we also need to do it right. That's why… Lend me all of your power, Michelle."

"All of my power? Even if you ask one hundred twenty percent, I shall give it to you." Michelle smirked as she channeled her magic power to Kai, creating a layer of black suit to cover all over his body except his head.

"Match my move!"

"Yes."

Kai took a deep breath and stepped forward.

"Scree!"

"Shut up, you lousy spider!" Ria Ross used a huge club to hit the spider, but it broke after hitting its head. Although the spider turned a bit due to the force, there was no scratch on its head.

Kai immediately created an attack pattern in his head, wondering which legs he should cut first.

"Teacher, let's swap our place. I will be hindering this guy while you prepare your arrow." Kai appeared.

"Are you sure?" Ria furrowed her eyebrows.

"I am sure. Your arrow will take thirty minutes to charge. And I believe that is the fastest way to kill the spider. During that time, I will try to take a few legs so this guy can't escape." Kai nodded while making his way toward the spider before he glanced in another direction and smiled. "Besides, I am not alone."

"Fire Spear!"

"Lightning Break."

"Wind Shield!"

A spear made of flame along with a ball filled lightning flew toward the spider before a barrier appeared, covering the spider.

*Boom Boom!* The spear exploded, and the flame engulfed the spider. At the same time, the lightning also sparked, electrocuting the spider. The Wind Shield was the one that kept these two attacks from coming out.

"I am sorry, Supreme Commander."

"Yes. We are late."

"No, no. We arrive at the right time."

Two women and one man stood tall above a building, smiling at Ria and Kai. Except, Tasha and Michelle, these three were part of the tenth main attackers that would help Ria to take down this spider.

*Bam!* A house turned into rubble as a monster crashed into that.

One man and four women finally made their appearance. And with how the man was holding a giant hammer together with his bulky body, he must be the one who threw the spider earlier.

"We are here too!" The guy laughed.

"After getting help from Kai Carter's sister that is…" One of the women added because she didn't want Tasha's help going unnoticed.

The guy only shrugged.

Kai listened to the surroundings and noticed that Tasha was still helping the rest, so she would probably take a while before coming here.

"Teacher!" Kai shouted while staring at her with a serious expression.

Ria gritted her teeth and commanded out loud. "From now on, the command is in my student's hand. His word is my word. I will prepare my magic to kill this spider!"

"Yes, Ma'am!" The group shouted.

"Jacob. You come with me to hold the spider back. Xin and Drey will try to distract its attention and probe any weak points. The rest will suppress the spider with your magic from afar. Make sure you dodge every single attack because it will be the time you die!" Kai commanded as he arrived in front of the spider, allowing Ria to jump backward.

"Understood!" The group immediately moved to their position. Jacob was the bulky guy, so Kai expected him to help with his power, like fending off an attack from its legs. As for the other two girls, they were two women behind Jacob. They both had wind elements. Although they didn't really have that much attack power, they were the fastest and the most flexible among them, so they were the best choice to be in the most dangerous position.

"Thirty minutes start now!" Kai shouted, striking the spider's mouth with his Vibration Sword.

"Scree!" It roared once before parrying Kai's attack with his mouth.

*Clang!* As expected, it was very strong to the point it didn't leave a graze on it.

"Doryaa!" Jacob leaped to the side of the spider, banging the spider's head with that giant hammer of his.

Of course, the spider wouldn't let a beating like this go away. The moment the hammer hit its face, he moved the front leg. With the power and hardness alone, it should be able to pierce the guy's body easily. And with the poison that could be excreted on its legs, it would be a fatal attack on Jacob.

Seeing this, Jacob prepared to hit the leg with his hammer and launched himself using that powerful force to get away, but Kai was a bit greedy for this.

A black wall appeared between Jacob and the leg, giving Jacob a precious footing to leap. Jacob saw what Kai just used. A black shadow was extended from his right foot to this wall. And his face…

'Ah, I see!' Jacob thought as he leaped toward his original position. If the leg wanted to hit him, he needed the one in the opposite direction to do this. Of course, with this sudden change of direction, Jacob didn't forget to hit the spider's head once more, blowing it in the opposite direction.

However, it was the same direction where Jacob flew to, so it was bound to hit him.

"I can stop it," Michelle informed him as she stretched her shadow, creating another wall that separated Jacob from the spider. Every single string that the spider spurted out stuck on the black wall. Yet, not a single of them remained the moment the shadow shrank.

Michelle was assured that her shadow was fine because she could stick to the string with it, opening another pattern for Kai.

"Give me a Warhammer." Kai requested as he retracted both weapons. With its legs returning to their original positions after they failed to hit Jacob, Kai wanted to use that opportunity to attack the joint, hoping for it to break, especially with his one thousand kilogram strength.

Michelle, obviously, created a Warhammer, channeling a big amount of magic power to it to weigh it up.

"Sound Blast!" Kai used his Sound Blast to instantly arrive in front of the thin leg while swinging that giant Warhammer. "Ha!"

*Bang!*

Kai was surprised because he didn't feel a heavy impact from the clash despite the loud sound. And he suddenly found a purple substance coming out of its leg.

'Poison? Is the poison that strong to the point it can dissolve the hammer almost immediately?' Kai furrowed his eyebrows.

'I think so. The leg moved a bit, so the leg only hit the handle. By using that poison to weaken the handle even further, it cut down the handle, making the hammer itself fly away, thus the loud sound.

"I know that. Still… I can't use my original sword to fight this one, can't I? If he dissolves my swords, I need to bring them to Ayaka to repair them."

"Yeah. So, which weapon do you prefer to fight this guy?"

"Since I plan to destroy its legs, so Teacher can have an easier time, I will have one a bit heavier. Two-handed swords please."

"Sure. Here are your two two-handed swords." Michelle summoned his order perfectly, making the same sword that he used in Cuba's war.

Suddenly, he leaped backward after noticing the fluctuation of magic power.

The rest of the people released their magic power to hit the monster.

"Explosion."

"Wind Gale."

"…"

The five shot the spider down while creating a little smokescreen. Two women sneakily ran below the spider's belly, poking every place they could and leaving before the spider attacked them.

"I don't see one."

"Same here."

"This is going to be a troublesome one…"

"Agree."

"Still, we should finish our mission. Failure is not allowed."

"Don't worry. I know."

The two conversed before they retreated, allowing Kai and Jacob to take the front again.

"Good work, all of you. Let me handle this again." Jacob was full of energy. Although he never fought together with Kai, he somehow understood what Kai implied just by seeing his action.

On the other hand, Kai still hid behind Jacob to observe the situation a bit more before Ria's voice rang inside his ears. He retreated while glancing at his back.

"Arrow!" Ria had also started summoning her arrow. The amount of magic power needed to power it up was insane, so she needed a long time to do it. And the fact that she needed to perfect every part of the arrow took her a lot of time.

However, even before it was fully charged, the arrow had materialized. The arrow was ten meters long and three meters wide. Ria was acting like she was pulling the bow even though she was channeling her magic power into it.

Still, the appearance of this arrow was mesmerizing. Despite being called an arrow, its structure was that of a spear. The long and circular handle took two-thirds of the entire structure. As for the tip of the arrow, it was a triangular-shaped sharp-pointed arrowhead. There seemed to be a weird pattern that was holding most of the magic power in this arrow.

Of course, if there was an arrow, there should be a bow. Unlike the usual bow, this bow was created purely from multiple magic circles, adding the complexity of the bow. Yet, it looked majestic, scary, and powerful at the same time.

"God's Arrow, Lokraisha!"
