The Magician of Sound

"Time to hunt." Kai smiled. Michelle was still sticking in his body to increase his power, while Tasha was following right before them.

There was another female beside him. She had elegant long purple hair, and the mole on top of her right lips made her appear unique. It was complimented more by the weapon of her choice, two pistols.

"Sir Kai Carter, which is our target?"

Kai was a bit unsure whether to answer her because he didn't know whether someone would hear about it, so he shook his head. "As much as I want to answer your question, can you believe me and follow me?"

"…" The woman thought for a moment. She recalled the scene where she was meeting general Jose in the base. It was when she was working inside her office that the general visited her. She said, "I have a mission for you. I can't say much at this point in time, but I want you to follow every order Kai Carter made on the battlefield and assist him in any way possible. The tide of battle will depend entirely on his effort."

Although it confused her, Jose never spoke that highly to anyone, including herself. She usually would beat someone up with her words filled with insults about their incompetence, so she knew it must be something very important.

Hence, the woman nodded. "I, Rila, will follow your command. The other soldiers have prepared for the worst as well."

"I hope we don't meet something like that." Kai smiled and continued his way toward the magical beasts. "And make sure you keep up with my pace so as to minimize the casualties in our side."

"Understood."

"A few meters left… Ready your weapons!" Kai shouted as he thought. 'Michelle!'

'I am here.' Michelle replied.

Kai was using his own swords again, but dark energy suddenly covered its blade as he waved his swords downwards.

"Shadow Slash!"

The two dark waves traveled on the ground, cutting the magical beasts. Yet, it didn't penetrate that much, especially when it stopped the moment it struck the tenth magical beasts.

"Strike!"

"Ooh!"

Kai and the soldiers began penetrating the magical beast's rank, closing in on the professor.

The professor widened his eyes at this moment. He never thought Kai Carter would come to this place because his information told him that he would be fighting the S rank magical beast. And the fact that he came here… "Did… Did he already kill the spider?"

Kai's penetrating speed wasn't a joke. Within just a minute, he had come halfway through their left wing. Within three to four minutes, he might arrive in front of him.

The professor immediately gritted his teeth and shouted. "Kill him! Anyone, kill him! Magical beasts surround him and ram him to death. We will win if we kill him!"

"!!!" The fighter he left in that area immediately turned around, but Paolo seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

As soon as he saw the change in their movement, he immediately shouted. "All soldiers! You have been waiting for this moment! Use all of your strength and kill them all!"

"Yes, Sir!" They shouted in unison while swinging their weapons. With that roar earlier, the battlefield suddenly moved as Paolo's army began pushing back their enemy.

It also forced the fighter from the professor's side to stop the enemy instead of chasing Kai.

Due to this, Kai had an even easier time penetrating their ranks. The disorganized magical beasts became the perfect target.

The two thousand soldiers closed in, and if one observed them closely, they would see many parts of magical beasts flying around.

Kai and Rila used all their strength to keep up their pace while the soldiers behind them made sure the surrounding magical beasts didn't destroy their formation. In fact, this was the reason why Kai wanted to have a fast pace.

With a pace like this, the enemies wouldn't have a chance to react properly, allowing Kai to do anything. The only way to solve this was by sending a strong fighter with a huge number, but the Professor had sent all of his fighters to handle Paolo's and his officers.

There was no way he could stop Kai's momentum.

"Swarm him! Just swarm him!"

The professor was scared out of his life despite having the power of the zodiac, specifically from the protector's blood itself.

Some magical beasts turned to another direction to stop Kai's advance, but Kai's advance here… Was like that of a bullet, penetrating through the enemy's ranks at unbelievable speed.

*Bam Bam Bam!*

He cut down all the magical beasts in his way with his own strength, sending them flying in all directions.

Even Paolo, who was causing a stir among the enemies, was impressed by his skill.

Kai Carter still continued with his momentum as if these magical beasts were nothing but something that he would slaughter in an instant.

And for the second time in one day, Kai would betray all expectations.

The moment he arrived before the professor, he swung his sword toward him.

"Do you think I am a pushover? I still have the power coming from the protector's blood! You won't be able to kill me!" The professor shouted out loud as he swept his claws.

This blood had strengthened his skin to the point it would withstand a normal attack, but it was still a cheap imitation. Even the protector would have many injuries in his body when it was hit by a Vibration Sword, let alone a cheap imitation like Zodiac

*Bang!*

Two bullets shot through the claws and pushed them away.

The bullets were shot from the sky as a woman figure holding two sniper rifles appeared in everyone's vision. The sniper was none other than Isabelle. "Hehe… Your special reinforcement has come!"

Kai only smiled and cut the two claws by striking the joints with his strength. This was the opportunity he had been waiting for. He had specifically asked Nathan to send Isabelle to her way just for this. He said, "You might have the blood in your body, but you are still too weak to fight me."

The moment he lost both arms, the professor knew he fuck*d up.

"Unlike my Teacher, who has both brain and martial arts, you are simply a big brain that has turned into an idiot because of your jealousy. Even if you try all the tricks in the world, you won't be able to defeat her." Kai uttered those words and sent his head flying with both swords.

He halted his steps for a second to check his surroundings before looking at Paolo.

Paolo also remembered the secret mission Kai gave him.

It was yesterday.

Kai suddenly met him and Erica in private, asking them about this mission.

"Eh? By separating Nathan's small army into three armies, you are going to make the enemies think about breaking through the two wings to arrive at our and West Battlefields? After that, we will hold them for you while you are to personally lead a detachment?" Erica exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you serious?" Paolo sweatdropped. Even though he wasn't good with tactics, he still understood how reckless this plan was. "I'm not really good with this sort of thing, but their target is you, right? Isn't having the target appear before them like that kind of a bad idea?"

"He is right. You are also Ria Ross's student. Even more so given our opponent is those protectors." Eric agreed with him.

"If someone is needed to lead a detachment, then allow me to handle it!" Paolo asked.

And yet, Kai simply shook his head. "I am thinking of becoming an assassin in the battlefield that hunts down their weakest link, which is the professor. He has a powerful body but doesn't know any martial arts and strategy, so I will eliminate him first.

"All I need you to understand is that if I spot even a single opening on the enemy, I shall pounce upon it." Kai looked at both with a serious expression.

"An opening… Do you mean…" Erica immediately realized his plan.

"Yes. The moment you stop the reinforcement from their side, the professor must be trying to push that side to eliminate you. But it also means that he is going to sacrifice the other side a little bit. And that is the opening I am aiming for." Kai nodded.

*Hiss!*

The couple fell silent as they looked at him with a heavy heart, thinking, 'Is this really a student?'

The thought alone sent a shiver all over their bodies. And Erica even added, "Against an opponent that doesn't know the target use such a tactic, our success is guaranteed."

Paolo's body was shaking, staring at the daredevil in front of him. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, saying, "When that day is upon us, you have my word that I shall eliminate all of the enemies."

…

Paolo couldn't contain the shock on his face as he looked at Kai in the middle of the enemies, looking back at him with a solemn expression.

'What a man… So this is… Ria Ross's student, the first among students, Kai Carter.'

Kai nodded at him as if he was telling, "I entrust the rest to you, General Paolo."

'You may count on me!' Paolo clenched his weapon tighter and nodded back before ordering out loud. "Spread the word to all our soldiers. Ria Ross's student, Kai Carter, has personally slain the mad scientist."

The units immediately did as they were told.

However, Paolo didn't want the momentum to stop, so he shouted again, calling his right and left hands. "Joshua, Maya!"

"Yes, Sir!"

"Onward!"

"Leave none alive!"

The two used all of their strength to push back the enemies, including the fighters that were stalling them this whole time.
