The Magician of Sound

Chapter 423 - Great Battle

Roar.

For the first time in history, a mole roared like that of a tiger. However, the most terrifying thing behind that roar was the fact that the magical beasts turned around as if they were trying to help the mole.

"This is bad." Kai frowned and took one step back. "We have an issue. The magical beasts are heading this way!"

Rain contemplated for a few seconds before shouting back. "ETA?"

"Two minutes."

"Not enough. We need to move to a different area. Do you think you can do it?"

"We need to stop the mole's movement for a few seconds." Kai then turned to Tasha. "How is your magic power?"

"It's enough. The lightning earlier took twenty percent, but we could still teleport more than ten times," answered Tasha while releasing its arrow.

"How long will the soldiers arrive?"

"The first batch will surely come within ten minutes. It should be enough to stop them until the next batch."

"Alright. Tasha. You heard him. Conserve your stamina as we will teleport in my signal." Kai nodded.

He only realized how hard it was to fight a single S Rank Magical Beast. Previously, they could keep fighting because there were so many soldiers protecting them, so no magical beast appeared in their fight.

But they didn't have anything this time, so Kai needed to take that into account.

Suddenly, a thought appeared in his mind as he asked. "Do you think we can use air support?"

"This is an urban area. If we do it, the backlash is too great. Even if we can't kill this mole, it's better than the backlash."

"Understood. General Rain, I know that my position is below you, but can you listen to my command in this battle? I will try to kill this mole as soon as possible." Kai narrowed his eyes.

Rain smirked. "Fine by me. I will become your deputy in this battle as long as you can kill this mole."

"Roger." Kai then turned to the others. "I will cut another two spots during this. Michelle, you don't need to hide it anymore. Dark Michelle, your job remains the same. Ayaka, if there is an opening, use your explosion to throw its balance off. Isabelle, Evan, you are to protect me from the claws."

In that instant, the group nodded in unison as Michelle leaped toward Kai before entering his shadow.

"Shadow Possession. Union." She submerged into Kai's shadow before Kai possessed the same tattoo as Michelle's.

"Ho?" Rain was astonished at first but returned to normal right after as he went around the mole to create another barrier on its back.

Kai, on the other hand, slashed his swords as both released a black sword strike, running through the ground. "Shadow Slash."

It hit the mole's feet before climbing the mole's body and going as far as its eyes.

Surprisingly, the mole prevented it from happening by using its claw. He even summoned another spike below Kai's feet to launch him to the sky.

Michelle already reacted to it by creating a spike below his shoes, so Kai didn't get launched. Right after the spike stopped growing, Kai leaped toward the mole who happened to swing its claw and create the same wind pressure in order to cut Kai.

"Sound Blast."

A Magic Circle appeared next to him, blowing him away slightly to the side. Seeing Kai avoid his own attack, the mole prepared for another attack, but this time, Isabelle shot with her full power, blasting the mole's hand.

Not wanting to lose, Evan changed his bullet into an explosive bullet and aimed at the mole's other hand, so it wouldn't stop Kai again.

Rain turned out to have positioned himself and created a barrier where Kai could strike.

"Kai Carter. This is your chance."

Kai nodded as Michelle had prepared her Shadow Slash. The moment he struck the mole's body, he pierced its body as Michelle's Shadow Slash extended the blade to create more serious injury.

Sensing that power, the mole roared even louder before he heard a big movement from underground. "Not good. Everyone jump!"

Although they didn't know what happened, they jumped to the air before numerous pointed spikes emerged from the ground, trying to hit them. Some of them didn't jump high enough, but Rain managed to react and summon a barrier to protect them.

"Isabelle, Eyes!" Kai shouted.

"Roger." Isabelle smiled and released another bullet toward its eyes.

Because the mole was too focused on Kai who managed to injure him twice, Isabelle's bullet flew unnoticed as it pierced the mole's right eye.

Ayaka then followed with a magic circle.

"Scarlet Explosion."

Boom.

The explosion hit the mole from the right, which became the mole's blind spot just now. Although that explosion wasn't enough to injure the mole, it managed to throw the mole's balance off.

Kai launched himself with the Sound Blast and kicked the mole's head, so it would fall on top of those sharp spikes.

Bam.

Surprisingly, both the spikes and mole's body was strong enough to not break. Finally, Sofia, who had been conserving her power until now, made her first move.

Another block of ice appeared in the air and fell on top of the mole, pushing the mole to the ground with its weight.

The spikes pierced the mole's skin a bit but soon snapped into two as the mole fell on the ground.

"Gather!" Kai gave the signal for the teleportation magic. Isabelle asked Evan to carry her weapon while she carried Evan to the sky with her flying magic.

Meanwhile, Sofia continued her attack to stop the mole from moving.

"Ice Shackles."

Huge shackles emerged from the ground as it chained the mole's neck and four limbs to the ground by planting itself deep underground.

As Rain made his way toward the mole, so Kai could hit it again, a series of roars echoed on the battlefield would soon be filled with monsters.

Sofia placed her hand on the ground and created a massive blue magic circle. "One more shot, Kai."

Since she hadn't used too much magic, she poured a bit more into this attack. The moment the magical beasts were close enough, a series of ice spikes like what the mole did earlier emerged from the ground, killing many magical beasts at once. Still, her main goal was stopping the advance of the magical beasts just for a bit.

Rain created a pair of translucent barriers for Kai to attack while Tasha prepared the Teleportation Magic Circle.

When both of them completed their magic, Kai slashed the mole again until it screamed, angering all the magical beasts in the area.

After that, Tasha teleported them slightly to the north to avoid this madness.

Obviously, they were in the middle of soldiers because this was where Rain came earlier.

"General!" The soldiers recognized Rain in an instant.

"This is my command. To the south, there will be tens of thousands of magical beasts coming. Buy me time, so we can kill this S Rank Magical Beast! We have no time, Hurry!" Rain shouted.

"Yes, Sir." The soldiers shouted and hurriedly ran from that scene, despite being curious about the S Rank Magical Beast. After all, only a small portion of soldiers could see the battle against an S Rank Magical Beasts, so they wanted to watch such a fight.

But they also knew that if the army of magical beasts weren't stopped, the S Rank Magical Beast would threaten the entire base, killing hundreds of thousands if not millions of people.

"Kai Carter. We should be fine until the first batch of soldiers. I need two minutes to report the situation and give our location so they can act accordingly." Rain shouted.

"I got this." Kai nodded. "There are three spots where I can strike right now, so you should go."

"Okay." He leaped to the side and pulled out his device. It was true that this would be noticed by the nearby magical beasts, but since the soldiers had created a wall to stop the magical beasts' advance, there was nothing to worry about other than the mole.

Meanwhile, Michelle came out of Kai's shadow as she signaled Ayaka to aim at the wound on the back with Dark Michelle while she and Kai focused on the front.

"Don't make this mole blind because it might go rampage without any direction. It will probably harm the city more than what we want." Kai warned the group, telling them that one eye was enough.

After feeling the ground, the mole quickly used its magic again to create spikes.

The group leaped to the air to avoid this, but the mole seemed to have a different plan. It flipped its body and prepared to submerge underground.

"!!!" Kai created a Sound Blast for both him and Tasha, launching them toward the mole. "We can't let it escape, Tasha."

"Okay." She acknowledged the order and used her Teleportation Magic as soon as they landed.

Kai took the mole's attention until Tasha teleported them to the sky.

Yet, it seemed they were trapped in the mole's scheme as the mole summoned its towering pillar and grabbed it. For Kai and Tasha who didn't have any stepping, they became a juicy target.

The towering pillar extended some of the rock to kill them, but Kai used his Sound Blast to jump to Tasha, carrying her like a princess before floating by using his Sound Levitation Magic.

Their eyes intertwined as the mole was angry and created a small platform in the sky, but that wasn't all. Below that platform, several pillars came out to hit and pin the others to the ground.

"All of you, dodge!" Kai shouted.
