The Magician of Sound

Chapter 421 - Mole

After discussing what happened, Kai and the others helped the other passengers to calm down, ensuring that nothing would happen.

Luckily, each airport only had several airplanes that would be able to fly internationally due to the safety restriction. There were only three more planes that needed to be directed while a few more were canceled. Either way, there shouldn't be unnecessary deaths for this incident, except for those that were unfortunate to be there at the scene.

Fortunately, the pilot had been flying above the cloud this whole time, so no one in the plane could see the danger lurking right on the coast.

Suddenly, the reserve pilot came out of the cockpit and whispered to Kai. "We can't lower our altitude anymore or the people will know about it. However, we should be close enough to the altitude that can allow you to jump."

Kai thought for a moment and nodded. "Thanks. That's enough. Maintain the course for a minute."

"I understand, Sir." The pilot saluted.

Kai saluted back before asking Tasha to teleport them down. Since she could teleport up to five hundred meters, the altitude she reached shouldn't be able to destroy their body even if they fell without equipment.

Right before they teleported, Kai just waved his hand and said with a playful tone. "Alright. Have a nice day, everyone."

The others had a weird face when they heard Kai said something like that, but they couldn't utter their disbelief since Kai and the others already disappeared.

Finally, Kai and the others fell at a fast speed toward the empty sea. However, they could see a giant mole that seemed to have noticed them as well as it looked toward them.

"Isabelle. Cover fire. Tasha. Keep teleporting us toward that mole. It seems that it is the mole that causes this." Kai narrowed his eyes.

"I need around a minute to use my teleportation magic ten times to reach that point. Be ready." Tasha nodded and summoned a magic circle.

"!!!"

"We need the information, by the way," Michelle asked as they went closer and closer every time they teleported.

"I will brief you after defeating the mole." Kai nodded.

"Roger." Michelle acknowledged the command and summoned all the black tattoos to power up.

However, something big happened right before the last teleportation magic.

The mole raised its claw and slashed downwards, sending a powerful wind pressure that came their way.

When Kai noticed it, he used his Sound Blast to launch him forward and activated his Super Sonic Sword. Yet, the moment he slashed the wind pressure, his momentum stopped completely before Kai suddenly felt something was wrong.

The shock wave produced by the mole ultimately blew him away.

"What?!"

"Kai!"

The group was baffled as they never saw Kai lose against an attack from a magical beast.

Michelle stretched her shadow and grabbed him, pulling him up as Tasha activated the last teleportation, sending them right in front of the mole.

The mole noticed them and lowered his vision.

"Fighting here will be hard for us because thousands of magical beasts keep coming out of that hole. Tasha. In my signal, teleport all of us toward the north. I heard the movement from the military there." Kai shouted. "For now, Sofia, dump a chunk of ice in that hole to halt their advance for thirty seconds. Isabelle, Evan will support us from behind and ready to leap toward us when Tasha teleports us. The rest of you, help me."

"Understood." The group quickly moved according to his instruction.

A blue magic circle appeared in the sky at a bigger size than the hole. "Ice Nebula."

A round-shaped chunk of ice emerged from the magic circle, falling down the sky and hitting right in the middle of the hole. The shock wave coming from it shook the entire battlefield and took all magical beasts' attention. However, the magical beasts inside the hole had a problem in moving from that area.

Tasha, Isabelle, and Evan began raining them down with bullets and arrows while Sofia decided to become their guards, protecting them from being surrounded.

Meanwhile, Michelle summoned Dark Michelle as they took their positions. Seeing that Michelle took the left direction and Dark Michelle was behind the mole, Ayaka went toward its right and raised her spear.

Due to the emergency situation, Kai had no intention of holding back. He leaped toward the mole and leaped to the air, straight to the mole's face, and slashed his swords.

Yet, he ended up swinging to the left and right instead as the mole tried to squash him to death. But the shock came to him when he saw the mole's palm.

'What? Did it stop my swords without even getting a single scratch?' Kai widened his eyes and gasped. At the same time, he was pressured from both sides as he gradually lost his power.

Ayaka ran straight to the mole and used its giant body as a stepping to reach the mole's arm before hitting it to save Kai, but to no avail. "What? I used all the momentum I got, but it didn't push it even a little bit?"

On the other side, Michelle also did the same thing as she struck the mole's arm with her Shadow Slash, keeping it circling a few times. This attack usually would cut something. Even the S Rank Spider was no exception.

Yet, she noticed something different from this mole as the whole body looked like it was reinforced by something. "Kai! Something is wrong with this mole."

"I can see that, but I don't know what's wrong with it." Kai narrowed his eyes and searched for a way to break free from the mole's claws.

Ayaka raised her hand and created a magic circle above the mole's head. "Scarlet Explosion."

Boom.

Kai protected itself with his Sound Oscillation Shield, so he was fine. However, the mole seemed to have no injury either other than loosening its grasp.

Kai fell to the ground and prepared for another strike, albeit he was beaten by Dark Michelle who extended all four of her scythes toward the mole. Two hit the two arms while the rest hit the legs, preventing it from moving.

"Now!" Dark Michelle shouted.

Kai bent down his knees as he activated his Sound Blast. Unfortunately, he failed once again as he looked down on the ground after hearing a rumbling sound.

The ground rose five meters and launched Kai to the sky, but the latter shouted. "Tasha. Now!"

"!!!" Tasha widened her eyes and teleported the support team to the mole while looking up, finding Kai using his Sound Blast to descend. She, without hesitation, activated her Teleportation Magic one more time. "Teleportation."

The group suddenly vanished from the coast.

Arriving at the new place, they were greeted by the sound of explosions from all directions. It was chaotic as they could see so many beasts out there.

But there was someone who noticed something different on his battlefield. If Ethan were the guardian of the battlefield, he would be known as the guardian of the base. That person was none other than an S Rank Barrier Magician, Rain.

"Kai Carter!" He instinctively called his name out loud as he stared at the mole that Kai's group seemed to have trouble with. "When did you arrive?"

"I was on my way home and met this." Kai sighed while going around the mole to take its attention, so the others could return to their position. "Anyway, will you join me in this battle, Sir Rain? This mole is not ordinary. Its abilities far surpass that of an A Rank Magical Beast. No, I should say it is close to…"

"S Rank Magical Beast!" Rain drew a gasp as he hurriedly replied. "If what you said is true, I need to contact the entire force within the base. We will talk about its origin later."

"Understood." Kai nodded as he led his group began attacking the base with their members.

Kai's assumption was unrealistic, but he made a few points. Although the mole didn't have a deadly poison that one attack was what it took to take one life, it had insane defense and great control over the ground.

Even if there were a low probability that the mole was actually an S Rank Magical Beast, they would still need to mobilize the entire army that had been stationed inside the beast.

And the one who claimed this was none other than Kai Carter. Theoretically speaking, Rain had recognized his strength as one of the strongest in the base and his teammates could be considered general class level in terms of fighting power.

Yet, this group seemed to have no power in harming the mole to the point they needed to teleport toward a safer place.

It took only all these for Rain to decide his next move. He turned around and pointed at his assistant. "DEFCON 1. We need all military personnel to arrive here immediately."

His assistant dropped his jaw as he never expected that the situation was that dire. DEFCON 1 was a kind of defense readiness condition from the Department of Defense. This DEFCON 1 was the highest alert, telling people to be in maximum readiness and immediate response.

If they thought about it, it was actually a normal measure. After all, S Rank Magical Beast would certainly turn this base into a wasteland with its hundreds of thousands if not millions of magical beasts. And it appeared so suddenly after a catastrophic earthquake that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

"Hurry up!" shouted Rain.

"Y-yes." His assistant hurriedly went back to their temporary headquarter.

As soon as he moved, Rain turned around and leaped toward Kai. "I will be fighting by your side for the time being and confirm this big guy's threat level. If it's not S Rank Magical Beast, I will lower the alert level."

"Understood." Kai nodded with a serious expression and looked at the mole as he leaped again.
