The Magician of Sound

"You all. I will make sure to have you face your own reflection and use my magic to make them alive. At that time, everyone will know what you honestly think about others." Michelle gritted her teeth while glaring at them.

As soon as they heard that threat, they were stupefied and scared at the same time. Normal people would always hide one thing or another that they thought was fine to bear, but if their honest side blurted it out, they would surely dig a hold for themselves.

No wonder Michelle became mild a bit after the training. She must be training that cursed magic.

After that threat, no one made a joke anymore, lest Michelle would do it. Little did they know Michelle would surely do it no matter what they did next. This way, the group could know what kind of secret they held, so they had no more shame to say anything to the group.

Kai, on the other hand, kept advancing forward until he became a bit frustrated with how these people did in this dire situation. "All of you. Move your asses!"

"Y-yes!" The group shouted at the same time, knowing that Kai was pissed.

  Kai's advance wasn't unstoppable. Even the magical beasts couldn't surround him due to his speed, Sonic Swords, and the width of the gap.

It was perfect for Kai to show his superiority, only letting some past him.

The two Michelles immediately killed them and followed him right behind, killing those that were beside him. Of course, they didn't dare to stand right next to him because they would get blown away by that sword.

It was a very dangerous sword that could cause more damage than his Vibration Sword. No, in fact, it appeared to be an upgraded version of his Vibration Sword since the Sword needed to move back and forth faster than his Vibration Sword to create a sonic boom.

At one point, Kai managed to clear the entire gap by himself. Before he could do anything, he retreated a few steps back as he noticed an eagle flying above him.

That eagle looked different. Even his instinct told him to retreat.

"Michelles, go back!" Kai shouted. "Sofia! Above!"

"Ah, I am called too!" The Dark Michelle was thrilled. She thought Kai would only call the real Michelle.

It seemed Kai had seen her as another personality, thus treating her differently even though the essence was the same.

Either way, they both nodded at each other and started retreating according to his order.

Sofia, who was occupied by the magical beasts on the ground, immediately raised her vision as soon as she heard Kai's shout.

She found a huge blaze in the air and acknowledged what Kai feared. "It's the intelligent beast! The eagle! Wait a minute. In the ground, the turtle is also marching its way. With a size that big, it will trample our barrier!"

Kai thought for a moment and shouted back. "Tasha. Handle that eagle. I don't know if it will work against another Wind Element, but Isabelle is better to focus on your current task."

"Roger that!" The two agreed with his order and moved accordingly.

Tasha raised her aim a little bit and released her first arrow. "Lightning Arrow!"

The arrow flew to the sky, and a magic circle appeared. The arrow turned into lightning, striking forth.

The eagle noticed this and opened its mouth. Instead of stopping the lightning with its wind, it released its breath that turned out to be a fire.

The breath itself formed a fireball and hit the lightning, extinguishing it in an instant. The fireball didn't end there. It continued to the ground, hitting the spot behind Kai and Michelles.

Seeing this, Tommy and Nicholas, who kept watching the situation between their walls, immediately took off their night vision goggles. A fire explosion with a night vision was nasty. It would become too bright for their eyes to handle.

The same applied to Evan while Eve and Eva luckily didn't face the explosion, so they didn't get this kind of shock.

Despite experiencing the excruciating pain in their eyes, they looked at each other and nodded, maintaining the wall intact. Unfortunately, a part was already broken, but they didn't want to let it be the downfall of their wall, so they cut the other part and maintained the shorter part where Kai and Michelles were.

"Kai, we are abandoning the other half!" Tommy shouted, reporting what he was doing.

"Understood. There is a chance that it will turn worse when the turtle is reaching this place, so ready for a battle. I will be taking that turtle." Kai nodded. "Michelles, back me up."

"Okay." The two nodded simultaneously and followed him when he was about to move.

They once again stormed the enemy rank, destroying them like there was no tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Tasha, whose arrow got destroyed, furrowed her eyebrows. She never expected that the eagle actually had Fire Magic instead of Wind which was supposed to be their general element.

In this case, Isabelle's wind element would be pretty useless against it.

She thought for a moment and chose another plan to take it down.

There was no doubt in her eyes as she took a different type of arrow. She smiled and released it to the sky.

Seeing another incoming arrow, the eagle didn't take it lightly. It opened its mouth again, using the same technique to destroy Tasha's arrow. This time, it specifically targeted Tasha, who seemed to be in the way.

When the fireball was about to hit the arrow, Tasha smiled and raised her hand. "This is my present. Explode!"

The lightning she concealed in that arrow sparked, causing a short circuit in that arrow. This was the arrow that Ayaka had specifically prepared for her, so the effect of that was obvious.

Boom.

The arrow exploded and swallowed the fireball, causing another explosion in the sky.

Before the eagle could react, another arrow pierced through the flame caused by the explosion and headed straight to the eagle.

"!!!" Seeing that dangerous arrow, the eagle tried to dodge it, albeit it was too late. It only managed to move its body away, resulting in the arrow hitting its right-wing.

The eagle couldn't fly anymore and began to fall.

"Isabelle," Tasha called the one beside her while releasing another arrow to the sky.

"Leave it to me." She nodded and changed her aim, shooting the eagle with her bullet.

The eagle wanted to dodge it again, but the bullet was faster than the arrow by a little bit and pierced its body. Of course, the speed difference was minimized by Tasha's Lightning Magic, so it was normal for an arrow to have a bullet speed. Else, there was no way they would consider bow as another weapon.

Without showing mercy to the eagle that was practically dead, Tasha's arrow hit the sky and summoned a magic circle.

Lightning struck forth, hitting the eagle and roasting it.

"You are merciless." Isabelle smiled while commenting on her style.

"We should make sure if it's death or not. You check if it's still alive after all that or not. I will handle the aerial monsters for ten seconds." Tasha paid no heed of her comment and focused on the task.

"Okay." Isabelle kept following the eagle to see whether it was dead or not. After all, the body was still intact. After it hit the ground, she released another shot to practically destroy its body.

"Now, you are the one merciless." Tasha used her own word to tease her. However, the two only smiled at each other.

Meanwhile, Kai kept advancing despite so many magical beasts coming his way. When he breached the gap once again, and the gap was gone, allowing more beasts to reach him, Michelles swung their swords, creating lines of fire for Kai.

"Shadow Slash!"

Seeing the two lines next to him, he smiled while listening to their movement that seemed to be going to his side, ready to face those who would come his way while he fought the turtle.

Kai then narrowed his eyes, focusing his attention on the turtle. The size itself wasn't that big, only twice his height, so around three and a half meters.

What made this turtle dangerous was its jaws, so he would be avoiding it, which made his course clear.

"You two. Make sure you can escape. I will be hopping on its back to kill it. Besides, unlike the normal turtle, a Snapping Turtle won't hide inside its shell, so I will shortly kill it."

"Roger. Do your best, Darling!" The Dark Michelle gave a thumb up while the real Michelle only nodded, not wanting to say anything because her other side was here.

Kai shook his head helplessly as he raised his vision.

The range was enough for him to hop on its back.

However, the Snapping Turtle seemed to understand what he planned to do and stomped the ground, creating a crater that threw his balance off.

Kai shortened his steps to stabilize his movement, but the attack earlier turned out to be a fake. The real attack came from the ground beneath him that suddenly emerged, launching himself to the sky.

At the same time, there were two A Rank Apes on the side, throwing a big stone toward him.

Kai narrowed his eyes and clenched his swords even tighter.

"I am sorry, but I am not the man who I used to be." Kai struck the two boulders. The sonic boom that it released splashed on the boulder, cracking it. Using that crack, Kai used more strength and cut it in half.

A magic circle then appeared above him, blowing him toward the turtle's head.

The moment he landed, the turtle had its head pierced by the Sonic Sword as Kai let out a breath of relief. "It's the end."
