The Magician of Sound

Chapter 424 - Die



Other than Kai and Michelle, all of them were below the platform, so they became the prey in an instant.

"Teleport—" Tasha clenched her teeth as she realized it was too late. "I won\'t be able to make it."

Ayaka also tried to use her Scarlet Explosion, but it was too late. Isabelle, on the other hand, could take one or two people away with her flying magic, but some would be injured unless Ayaka thought the same thing.

Suddenly, Dark Michelle leaped to the sky and slashed all the spikes that might kill them. "Tasha!"

"But you—"

"Hurry up!"

Tasha looked down and continued, fully activating her magic to teleport everyone, excluding Dark Michelle, out of there.

The group was also in anguish, thinking they had lost someone already. Of course, they knew that Dark Michelle would probably return to being a shadow and enter Michelle\'s body again, but it didn\'t mean she wasn\'t a part of the team.

At the same time, if it were someone else, they would have died, pierced by those spikes.

"All of you calm down!" Kai shouted in anger, even though Michelle already informed him what was happening. There were two purposes of this anger. First, he wanted the others to stay calm after seeing him angrier than them. Second, he was really angry.

"…" The group looked at him as Ayaka signaled what they needed to do.

The group nodded as they took their position while watching Kai fighting the mole alone.

Ayaka clapped her hand and shouted. "Scarlet Explosion."

Boom.

A giant explosion occurred and snapped the pillar into two. Those two above became unstable before Kai used his Sound Levitation to fly. On the other hand, the mole didn\'t know what to do other than falling from the sky.

Sofia arrived right below the mole as a huge ice spike emerged, trying to pierce the wound that it suffered earlier.

At the same time, Isabelle released a bullet from its blindspot, hitting the same eye that she took earlier, resulting in the mole focusing more on the pain instead of the spike.

Evan shot an explosive bullet that turned into a smokescreen, so the mole had no chance to see the spike.

However, the mole was better than they thought. It spun its body in all directions and sent those countless and destroyed both its own pillar and Sofia\'s spike.

"Tch!" Sofia gritted her teeth and leaped back, avoiding the mole from stomping her to death with that giant body.

On the contrary, Kai was thanking them inwardly as he saw through the smoke and found the wound on its back. He stabbed the wound and waved his sword as far as possible before the mole shook its body, throwing him away.

But the most shallow wound became the most severe injury in an instant, so Kai was happy with this improvement.

Rain seemed to have finished and was about to head to their position, so Kai wanted one more hit at the very least.

Kai raised his forefinger as a signal of what he wanted them to do.

The moment they saw it, Ayaka charged at the mole with her fastest speed, thrusting her spear toward the wound.

The mole had stood up and avoided her, albeit barely.

Ayaka clicked her tongue and saw that the mole was about to hit her.

Michelle used both of her sniper rifles to strike the hand and blow it away while Ayaka touched the mole\'s skin and went around it before leaping away.

To stop the next movement, Tasha released the explosive arrow while Evan used his explosive bullet.

Both of them hit the mole at the same time, triggering the magic circles that Ayaka had planted earlier. This was Ayaka\'s magic bomb and from the look of it, she planted at least ten in that small time frame.

Those ten Magic Bombs exploded at the same time, creating a huge blast and sound on the battlefield. But Kai couldn\'t stop here and charged against the shock wave and slashed the mole, right on its wound that had been exposed by Ayaka\'s explosions even for a little bit.

Kai took a deep step on the ground and used all of his power to this slash. The wound became even deeper, but Kai ended up slashing the asphalt, so there would be a sword mark here that people would never forget.

The bleeding became even worse, so Kai was expecting that the mole would die sooner or later.

"Although I hate to admit it, my power is not enough to kill S Rank Magical Beast right now. I can only let it die by itself." Kai clicked his tongue before Rain came into his vision. He shouted, "This mole shouldn\'t last too long with the constant blood loss. Now we need to play it safe and wait for it to die."

"Roger!" They shouted in unison.

Kai led his group in this battle and kept attacking the mole for another five minutes. Since Rain had returned, Kai decided to create one or two more wounds, so the mole would die soon. Though, he ended up creating three.

In any case, Kai felt that the mole\'s strength slowly decreased over time, making him and his team become even more fired up, expecting it to die.

After all, this would become a great achievement. For Rain, this would mean that his status became close to Ria Ross even though Kai had the biggest contribution.

As for his teammates, they would become famous as they could kill an S Rank Magical Beast with a small squad. This was something that Ria hadn\'t done before.

Yet, the biggest winner of this achievement was none other than Sofia. With her identity as the granddaughter of the strongest magician in EU Base, Sofia would have shown her capability.

The public would think of them as a couple matched by Heaven. More and more pressure would come to Kai to marry Sofia.

If this were the past him, he would reject her without hesitation no matter the consequence, but the past few months were indeed something special, so he would just say wait for a while as he would marry her with the others together.

A few minutes later.

Roar Roar.

The mole roared again, but each roar was significantly quieter than the previous one. And finally, after a long effort from Kai and his group, they managed to take down another S Rank Magical Beast.

Of course, Rain also took a big part of this since it was due to his barrier they could wound this barrier.

Looking at Kai\'s group that was too tired to move, Rain let out a long sigh. "You all are indeed the next generation magicians that will protect this base."

"You are also a part of this." Kai shook his head. "We would\'ve lost if you were not here."

"That\'s because of Isabelle Fisher\'s observation." He shrugged.

They began praising each other for a while before Rain said, "Still, the biggest contribution of this battle is you, Kai Carter. I\'m afraid those people will be panicking to find a suitable reward for you. I wonder whether you will have one or two stars after this."

"Ahaha…" Kai laughed to brush that away. "I would\'ve never thought something like this could happen to the US Base."

"Nor can I. We already know that we live on top of magical beast nests. Due to the lack of paths to go there, they are called passive nests with no way out. However, I don\'t know why there will be such a big earthquake hitting this coast."

"I think we need to get away from here," Kai suggested while thinking about the tsunami that would soon come.

"No need to worry. The tsunami will be handled by the army of Earth and Ice Magicians, directing its powerful wave to somewhere else. We are safe here unless my army is losing against those beasts. Nonetheless, the reinforcement will soon come, so you all should rest after this. I will deal with the rest."

"Yeah. We will do that." Kai accepted since his teacher should be a part of this suppression operation. "Anyway, what is the status?"

"I\'m not sure. There are at least four hundred thousand magical beasts around the area and we have no way to know how many more will come out. Still, unlike when they have a leader that can order them around, we can suppress this number in a day or two before cleaning up the entire area in a week."

"After that, there is restoration huh." Kai sighed. "I wonder if someone wants to live here again…"

Kai looked at the ruined city and shook his head helplessly.

"That\'s where you are wrong." Rain smirked.

"This place will soon become even more expensive, you know. I think you should get a mansion in this place as a part of your reward."

"Why?" Kai tilted his head in confusion.

"The army will surely explore the tunnel that the mole created and fully explored it to make sure there are no more secret enemies. After that, this place will become one of the safest places in the world since you have no threat from underground. I mean, that\'s one of the police\'s jobs, no? Killing monsters that somehow escape from its underground nest." Rain shrugged.

"I see." Kai nodded with a serious expression as he could relate to what he said. "The price will become extremely expensive. And there is a chance that establishments will be made here, including the second beach in the world."

"Exactly. I will probably buy one too." He laughed.

Suddenly, Kai raised his vision as if he heard something.

"Oh, you heard something?"

"Yes. Our reinforcement has come." Kai nodded while looking at the mole.
