The Magician Of Sound

"Now bow down to me!"

The elemental raised its fist and slammed it down.

Obviously, Michael wouldn't let the attack connect. He leaped to the air, specifically in front of the stomach, and threw his fist.

"Gargantuan Fist!"

The magic circle appeared as his fist released a torrential wind bigger than he ever made, destroying the stomach of the elemental. With this, the elemental should have difficulty moving because it needed to plug the hole, but Kai suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Sound Blast!" He activated his Sound Blast, blowing Michael away as the elemental's fist almost hit him. "It's coming!"

*Bam!*

The fist created a loud sound. But that was not the scariest thing. That fist managed to create a huge crack on the ground while the one that hit directly by the fist went down a few centimeters.

"Are you serious?" Kai narrowed his eyes. He found that the mermaid was using her power to do something, so when he saw it still moving even though Michael injured it, he knew she was the one doing something to the elemental.

"I believe she is using her power to make the blood become weightier," Michelle informed him.

"Yeah. I have the same thought." Kai nodded, glancing left and right to see if he could use something to gain another advantage. After all, Michael might not be able to handle this elemental alone.

"Uncle. I will have Sofia to assist you."

Michael wanted to say no, but he had no luxury to reject it. He knew what kind of battle he would have, so he nodded before starting to worry about Kai. "Are you sure you can do it with fewer people?"

"We change to plan C."

"Plan C…" Michael thought for a moment and nodded. "I understand. Should we inform them too?"

"No. It will be too obvious if they know we are aiming that." Kai shook his head.

"Alright then." Michael raised both hands as the wind began covering them. He was ready for another round with the elemental.

On the other hand, the summoner, the mermaid, furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what plan C was. If she were him, she would trick them by using no plan but camouflaging it with plan C. However, she knew that the human might have at least plan D if they know they were going to face them.

Hence, she believed that plan C is real. The only thing she needed to know was their objective.

Kai took a deep breath and let her have no time to think. He charged with his swords again, trying to suppress her.

The mermaid had no choice other than accompanying him. But this time, Kai suddenly created his Sound Blast magic circle around his fist as he struck the mermaid with his fist instead of his sword.

"Gah!" Ilareca was shocked to get hit by such a fist as she always knew that Kai's Vibration Sword was his highest chance to injure her.

Little did she know that Kai was actually trying to mimic Michael's fist power with sound. He managed to succeed. Nonetheless, the Sound Blast could launch a magical beast corpse to the sky, so it must hit her hard.

On the contrary, Ilareca managed to recover within a second before swinging her staff, summoning a few blood spikes toward Kai.

"!!!" Kai clicked his tongue and created an Oscillation Shield, blocking all these attacks.

He knew that her aim was those people behind him, the soldiers that were fighting with magical beasts. He had vowed to protect them as much as possible, but if they were in the way, he wouldn't save them.

"The punch earlier… I took Uncle Michael as an inspiration. Although it could only increase the strength of my punch, it was enough for the time being." Kai smiled and decided to use this to up his game, stopping the mermaid from leaving.

The clash turned serious again, but Kai and the others managed to fight as long as possible.

Kai also had a few injuries because of this fight, but the mermaid seemed to be out of breath. If this were in the sea, she would be able to win easily, but they were the ones intruding their land, so she couldn't complain and kept fighting him for another thirty minutes.

When the situation became a stalemate, another factor came to the battlefield, trying to disrupt the balance.

Kai glanced to the back and found a huge and round beast covered with needles like a pufferfish while a fish with a long pointed nose ran toward them.

The two seemed to have undergone a hard fight. Not only were they trying to break through the army, but they also needed to abandon the entire magical beasts with them and regrouped with the princess. They needed to do this because the princess was in danger.

"Princess! We are coming!" Unsi and Marlin roared as they ran as fast as possible to hit the soldiers from the back.

"We are sorry for getting baited!"

Ilareca smiled, looking at Kai with confidence. "Now I have both of my aides… Although they are on in the best condition, your defeat is imminent."

"Heh…" Kai chuckled.

"Why are you laughing? What is funny?"

Kai pointed at the back of the two protectors as a huge army pursued right behind their back.

"!!!" The mermaid widened her eyes.

However, the surprise didn't stop there. The moment they set their eyes upon the mermaid, they raised their hand, signaling the soldiers for the next formation.

The soldiers then divided themselves into more than twenty groups consisting of five hundred soldiers each. They scattered themselves around the battlefield, planning to make a different time attack from all directions.

This was an encirclement they were hoping for. All those twenty groups would hit and cause destruction of their own, making the enemies crumble.

Kai glanced at the four people leading these two armies. On the right side, Jose was in the front while Nadia followed right behind her. On the other side, Paolo and Erica switched roles since Erica only needed to control the army in the South Battlefield to eliminate the remaining magical beasts before moving to help Ethan. Meanwhile, this side was more important, so Paolo was the one leading it and asked Ardus to be his deputy for the time being.

With these four coordinating, they managed to gather ten thousand soldiers to pursue these two protectors.

However, the eyes of these two generals were locked on Kai as they remembered when Kai met them along with the president, specifically after he explained the three upcoming possibilities of their war.

"If we fail to kill them during the set of time and don't send a signal at all, the two armies will eliminate the magical beasts and create a small hole for the protectors to leave," Kai stated.

"What?"

"They will regroup with their leaders!"

Of course, the two rejected the idea.

Kai ignored them and continued. "The moment they are regrouping, your groups should have eliminated the magical beasts, leaving only them. Meanwhile, my group will have trimmed their number into half.

"During this phase, we will have around fifteen thousand soldiers to surround them from all directions… And the fact that they are returning must mean whoever leads them is someone important… Important enough for them to disregard their life.

"At that point, you can use it as your advantage and injure them as much as possible. With this, we will gain a huge advantage. We will challenge them with my teacher, my group, the three generals here, and fifteen thousand people. After fighting them for two times, I understood that they would most likely escape."

The four generals and Ria thought for a moment and nodded.

"I have watched the clip and can understand your point. I can see why you want to do this. I have no objection." Nathan nodded.

"I am the same." Paolo agreed.

"Well, I will be stuck in the West Battlefield, so I won't say anything." Ethan shrugged, feeling left out.

"I will follow the plan." Jose also gave confirmation.

"Still, what do you think they will do if they escape?"

"They will have someone to hold the rear… At that time, we shall kill them." Kai continued before looking at President Brent. "That's why I would like for Mr. President to forgive me because I am not sure how much we can do. I believe we can get one of them, but I don't know if we can get more."

The president lifted his eyebrows as he applauded. "I once was a general, and I felt like I really wanted to return to the battlefield to fight alongside you. That's why you can do what you want with the battle. Our objective is the spider while the others are bonuses. Hence, this is my order, show them the might of our US Base!"

"Understood." Kai smiled.

…

On the battlefield, Kai looked at the mermaid and continued. "What is funny? This is funny. If you can beat all of us in this situation, I better go hide in my house instead of going to the battlefield, lest I would get killed."

the mermaid halted for a second before the turtle let out a long sigh. "Such a talented young man. It seems that the battlefield is revolving according to your plan huh…"

"You are the variable that never appeared."

"Ho! This old man is honored to hear such praise." The turtle nodded with a smile before taking another glance at the battlefield once more. "We are stuck here… The only thing to do is…

"Princess, please leave."

"That's right. Elder, please take the princess out of here. We two will redeem ourselves by holding the rear."

The princess had a grim expression as she finally decided. "We…"
