The Magician of Sound

Chapter 522 - Identity

"…" Kai remained calm as he already expected this. He simply glanced at the squid before his vision returned to Katsuragi Akagi. "To think you are using outside help now… Where is your pride? So much for patriotism, all I can see is just a hypocrite."

When Akagi chased him in the past, he always wanted to unite this base again and turned it back to Japan. However, the fact that he accepted another party's help, it wouldn't be the same Japan again.

Hence, all his words just made him a mere hypocrite instead of a patriot.

"You force me to use this help, Kai Carter." Akagi's expression didn't change and continued, "If you just have a slow life in the US Base, I wouldn't need to care about any outside threat anymore. All I needed to do was to eliminate the South Family and I would have finished my job.

"Unfortunately, you have stood in my way again. I don't have any attachment to United Asia anymore? Bullsh*t. Blood can be washed away by blood. I know you are going to come here one day and everything I have achieved so far will be ruined by you."

"In the end, you betray humanity." Kai shook his head and smiled. "I'm sure you already know what's your fate after seeing what I have done to French's Prime Minister, right?"

"Hmph. To do it, you need to get enough power to defeat your enemy. That's why I accept this help and invite another expert. I know that you barely killed him. Even with you using Evan Young's ability and gathering your allies, it won't be possible to defeat him… After all, you can't invite any of those S Rank Magicians other than your women. Not even your teacher can come because it will bring so much unnecessary attention. What do you have to say, Hero?"

Kai's expression darkened as he stated. "I don't have anything to say to a traitor as well as my enemy. I will simply give you a choice, kill yourself or die in my hand."

"For a genius in warfare, I'm sure you have heard of this. The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Akagi rose and smirked, showing a button on his hand. "Your plan will fail. You can't escape anymore. The moment you want to teleport, I will press this button to activate the Space Jamming Equipment that has been installed inside this mansion."

"That's your conclusion. For me, you are the same as a dead person."

"Do you think you have enough strength to fight against me, Kai Carter?" The squid snorted.

"I don't know you." Kai made a weird expression before shaking his head in disappointment.

"You bastard! I can't forgive you for taking my brother's life. I am going to avenge him right now!" The squid rose while releasing his killing intent.

"Oh, if the EU Base didn't take his corpse, I would have made him into a cuisine." Kai sneered, ignoring the squid's feeling.

"Do you think you are good after defeating my brother? My power is just a bit weaker compared to my brother. If only you had all those four people together with you, you might have the chance against me…" The squid looked down on the girls and said, "Unfortunately, there is only one present. And you even bring a child here. She will be the first one to die."

"You can't even understand my reason for bringing her here. You're utterly disappointing." Kai turned to Katsuragi Akagi. "I only have one thing to say to you, kill yourself."

"Do you think you can capture and kill me? With him next to me, you won't be able to do anything." Akagi snorted and looked away. "You are a fool. To think the rumored genius is overconfident… I guess it's a normal occurrence for a genius to die because of his overconfidence."

"Hahaha. Human Akagi, I will handle them. You can grasp that child and torture her in front of their eyes. I wonder what—"

Suddenly, Kai opened his mouth while releasing all his killing intent. His eyes turned bloodshot and his tone was extremely cold. He stated as if looking down on the squid. However, the words coming from his mouth were a language that no one ever heard except the squid.

"(Shut up. A mere sea race has no right to talk when this king opens his mouth!)"

Everyone widened their eyes and dropped their jaws in shock, staring at Kai with a dumbfounded expression. They obviously had no knowledge of what he said, but they could somehow understand that Kai truly said something like a language.

And it was proven by the expression planted on the squid's face. He was taken aback by the fact that Kai could talk in their language.

"(Mermaid Language…)" The squid said something in the same language, confusing the others. However, the squid was the one who got troubled with this language the most.

Kai just showed him that he could talk in their language, meaning Kai had started walking on the path of becoming the True Protector of the Human Race. If he succeeded in this path, there would be a huge clash between two Protectors that might soon become the center of every Protector's attention.

"(You… You understand—)" Before he finished, he lowered his vision and saw a pink Magic Circle. He quickly grasped Kai's plan.

Kai wanted to kill him after knowing this and used this shock to teleport him somewhere that no one would notice if a fight occurred.

Akagi tried to activate the button, but it suddenly flew away from his hand. He raised his vision and saw Felice using her power to throw away the button.

"(You!)" The squid shouted before all the people in this room disappeared without a trace.

They arrived at the bottom of a mountain. It was flat ground, so it should be perfect for a fight.

As soon as he recovered, the squid shouted in human language, "You… You have—"

"Shut up. I don't care what you are saying. You want to massacre my kin, I won't allow it." Kai released his killing intent once again while releasing his power.

"!!!" The squid stopped for a moment after noticing the amount of Kai's Magic Power. If this was the same Kai when he fought his brother, he could confidently claim his Magic Power wasn't on par with them.

However, Tasha had given back the Magic Power for this mission, so the current Magic Power emanating from his body was enough to acknowledge Kai as someone who had the same amount of Magic Power as an SS Rank Magical Beast. If he developed a bit more, he might reach their top levels.

Within a few years, Kai might achieve the realm of Protector. And this was something that needed to be prevented at all costs.

'My king needs to know about this. Retreat will be my top priori—' He stopped when he sensed another presence coming to this place. The Magic Power emanating from this guy far surpassed Kai's. No, it was close to their own king.

"!!!" The squid turned around and shouted instinctively. "Why… Why is your excellency here?"

Ignoring his statement, the middle-aged man put on a gentle smile as his eyes intertwined with Kai's. He walked a bit while saying with an annoyed tone, "This is truly a rather unpleasant invitation… Don't you agree, Kai Carter? To think you are trying to bring your party in front of my doorstep."

Kai's expression was grave and his tone was serene. "I apologize, but I need to do this… Ishii."
