The Magician Of Sound

Kai and the others had been standing by on top of a tall building, silently waiting for the time to pass. They purposely didn't observe their target with eyes because Kai was afraid that these three people would know someone tailing them with their sharp instinct.

Not wanting them to escape, Kai and the others simply sat down on the floor while looking at each other. They kept thinking about their target this whole time, as Kai's question resurfaced in their mind.

There would be two results in this type of scenario. The first one would be where these three were killed without bringing an after problem. The second would be they created a huge mess that might harm the army as a whole, and Kai wouldn't want to see that.

"Have you gathered your resolve? The moment you come out here, I want all of us to kill the three of them without fail. There won't be any sympathy." Kai said coldly. "If you want someone to blame, you can blame me."

Tasha suddenly patted his shoulder a few times and whispered something to him.

Kai closed his eyes for a second, considering her suggestion seriously before nodding his head. He then looked at the rest of his teammates, who had confused looks on their faces.

"What is the strategy?" Michelle asked.

"I will teleport you guys to that building as soon as the battle starts." Kai pointed at the building near these three people. "After that, we will have the battle from the soldiers in this city take away their attention for a second while I am making the Sound Insulation Room. Then, we can teleport right above them and ambush them… And if possible, kill them at that time. Unfortunately, I am afraid it is not possible due to how fast they can react."

"Good enough." Isabelle nodded before asking a question. "Still, I need to know how big your Sound Insulation Room is… I heard that it would break if someone strikes it. So, I might need to adjust my position to make sure I can help the soldiers and help the group at the same time."

"Don't worry. The building alone is not that far from these three beasts, so you don't need to move. I can create a one hundred meter radius Sound Insulation Room." Kai assured her with a smile. "You can pass my Sound Insulation Room as long as you don't use magic, other than that it will break."

"Alright, then. I can put my two sniper rifles in different positions, so I don't need to carry them while changing positions to avoid breaking the Sound Insulation Room." Isabelle nodded.

"Then I will take on the female one while Michelle focuses on the timid one, which leaves the hateful one to Eagle Group. Does that sound fair?" Kai asked.

"Sure. My group has never killed a human before. Even though they are already half-beast, we can consider them as human… So, I hope the captain can fix this mess if we are unable to kill him. Of course, I will try to kill him… But whether I have the resolve or not at that last moment, I don't know." Isabelle nodded with a disappointed face. She had been gathering her resolve this whole time and could be said she was ready, yet the question was whether that they would remain or not when the moment came.

"It's good then. Just make sure you are hindering his movement for a while. They can't fight a long battle in that state after all. I can kill them as soon as I finish my job." Kai nodded before informing Tasha's change of plan. "Anyway, Tasha is also going to be with you on top of the building. She makes this decision due to the landscape filled with tall buildings. That's why Nicholas, I want to ask you first."

"Ask me anything." Nicholas nodded.

"Can you jump off that building in an emergency and protect the others?" Kai asked. This question was normal for him because he needed to be cautious when dealing with this type of person. They might be able to use magic like Eric, so it will be troublesome if they attack the building itself, not the people.

"I can… But I won't be able to react fast enough because the fall takes time." Nicholas shook his head.

"Then… Guard them from the ground. Isabelle, I want to ask you to use that four green ball magic to prepare for any attacks. You should be able to take two people flying, right?"

"Alright. You are really too careful." Isabelle chuckled.

"I will already die if I'm not careful." Kai shrugged before looking at the timer. "We have one minute left. Do you have any other questions?"

They thought for a moment and shook their heads.

…

Meanwhile, Baran was one of the team leaders who helped Kai inside the city. He understood that his Sound Insulation Room might be visible to the beast, and they would attack him. Hence, these two groups were to protect the 'execution room' from those beasts.

"All of you already know your job, right? We only need to kill all the beasts without alarming the entire pack." Baran reminded them once more. "Remember, they might scream when they are injured, so make sure to kill them in one strike. Luckily, there are no powerful magical beasts in the area, so we should be fine as long as we are careful. Understood?"

The soldiers nodded solemnly as if they were ready to die to prevent that from happening.

Baran smiled and checked the timing before standing up. "We are going in five seconds."

The soldiers also stood up and took out their weapons before they heard Baran said. "Go!"

They left the building, charging toward the magical beast.

…

At the same time, Kai snapped his finger, creating a teleportation magic circle beneath their feet. This was the first time Eagle Group experienced Teleportation Magic, so they were slightly startled by the sudden change of scenery in just a blink of an eye.

However, they still remembered their objective as six people quickly separated themselves and once again teleported.

On the other hand, the three beasts suddenly halted their footsteps when they noticed the killing intent coming from the soldiers. Yet, another killing intent also appeared above their heads.

"!!!" The trio quickly screamed. "Ene—!"

"Sound Insulation Room!" Unfortunately for them, Kai already activated his Sound Insulation Room first.

"Enemies!" The female finished her shout.

Kai and the others looked at these three and slightly terrified. Kai might not have a disgust anymore after he encountered Eric, but it wasn't the same for everyone.

The female had a human face like Eric, but her body looked like a mantis. The usual front legs from mantis replaced her hands, turning them into a scythe. It looked so sharp as it might be able to cut steel itself.

On the other hand, the scary-looking male had a human body, but all other parts were completely those of a wolf. His head was a wolf while claws and fur were covering his full limbs.

Lastly, the timid male was looking like a horse… However, only his head was a horse while the other parts were normal except the tail on his back.

Michelle, Tasha, and Ayaka were the first ones to be terrified. They finally realized what kind of horrifying baby they would give birth to if Kai didn't ask for medicine. This was how afraid he actually was.

They thought Kai must be exaggerating but still chose to respect his opinion. Kai even said he might hate them if they forced it, only to realize that Kai didn't actually want to hate them. He just loved them so much and wanted the best for them.

The same as the girls, Evan and Isabelle wanted to throw up. They didn't see their appearances this whole time because Kai forbade them before the mission started. This order was to distract them for the time being and forced them to make a decision in the face of pressure where they needed to kill the three half-beasts.

Even so, Evan and Isabelle thought it was the right choice to not open their hearts to love someone, in case they fell into despair after seeing this appear on their child's body. Isabelle started shaking while trying to aim the enemy. Evan noticed this and placed his hand on her shoulder.

Isabelle was surprised at first, but she noticed the shaking of his hand and smiled. Sometimes, knowing someone, who was even more scared than you actually cheered you up, would calm you down. Isabelle took a deep breath and calmed her heart.

The fight finally started when Kai and the others descended to the ground. Kai activated his Vibration Sword and tried to slash her hand before touching the ground, but the female seemed to notice the sharpness behind this sword and leaped backward.

Michelle also did the same as him and sent two dark sword attacks as soon as she landed on the ground.

"Shadow Slash!"

"!!!" The horseman shuddered once before his instinct took over and spun his body before shattering the attacks with a single kick. "Why do you attack us? Have we not suffered enough?"

Michelle didn't say anything. "I don't have a grudge against you. But I only need to know that I will only increase his sadness if I don't kill you here."

Unfortunately, the twins and Tommy couldn't do a single thing to the last person. In fact, he was the one who attacked them by appearing in front of the twins and swiping them with his claws.

The twins obviously blocked it with their swords, but the strength behind these claws was immense, blowing them to the ground.

Kai didn't spare a single glance at the twins as he simply commanded. "The targets are these three. Kill them here. Failure is not tolerated."

Ayaka, Michelle, Tommy, and even the twins on the ground nodded at the same time.

"Understood, Captain."
