The Magician Of Sound

"That's still not enough."

"Then, we can only test it out." Kai smiled and leaped toward him with his Supersonic Sword.

Kerza, on the other hand, covered his tentacles with swirling wind again like that of a glove.

Kai waved his sword at the same time as Kerza threw his punch.

The collision between the two generated a powerful shock wave that made the windows from nearby houses shaking.

The powerful wind neutralized Kai's Sound Wave and prevented his Supersonic Sword from cutting the tentacle.

Both of them felt each other's power as they gritted their teeth, realizing their opponent's strength was greater than their expectation.

Kai and Kerza clashed a few times before Kerza hit the ground with his fist, cracking the ground and making Kai leap backward to gain some distance.

"…" Kai took a deep breath and raised both swords. "Sofia, Roselyn. This won't be easy. I need your help. Also, evacuate the children right now. I am afraid this place is going to be a wasteland."

Kerza narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything, knowing what Kai said was true. Their power was already at that level after all.

"I understand. Roselyn disappeared to inform the three women that protected the orphanage. "I need you to evacuate everyone from this area. All soldiers are to remain to stand by thirty blocks from here. The enemy is far stronger than our expectations, so this place is going to be a big battlefield. If any S Rank Magicians arrive, come to this place with precaution."

"Roger that." One of them nodded and proceeded with the order, knowing that it was probably the best choice after seeing that one collision was enough to create that kind of effect.

"You're not going after them?" Kai smiled and stared at Kerza.

"I have told them that I wouldn't hurt the children. In any case, my true aim is you. As long as I kill you, nothing else matters. Besides, those kids will die soon anyway." Kerza laughed.

Kai knew it was their ambition, but he didn't show anything to Kerza to avoid raising any suspicion.

"That is if you can defeat me." Kai harrumphed and went forward once more.

Kerza also walked to him and hit Kai with his fist, only to find Kai coming to a halt before kicking toward that tentacle. He also poured all his Magic Power into that kick as he released a Powerful Sound Wave that turned into a shock wave right after.

"Echo Thruster."

The generated Sonic Boom blew the tentacle away, but it was still intact to Kerza's body. Only the wind covering that fist had disappeared.

"…" Kerza and Kai clenched their teeth again as they realized they still underestimated their opponent. That attack was able to create enough force to injure the clam, yet, Kerza could take it. But the most shocking thing was the fact he didn't even push Kerza back. In other words, their strength neutralized each other and Kerza was on the land, restricting more than half of his strength.

If this was on the sea, one hit was all he needed to take him down.

Kerza, on the other hand, had some thoughts as well. He looked at Kai with a serious expression, thinking, 'He is getting even stronger? I have heard from the report, but his strength should be far lower than this. How can a normal human do something like this? Even though he is the Human Race Protector, he shouldn't be able to exert this amount of power without practicing their Mystic. This Kai Carter is more dangerous than our imagination… I need to kill him right here, right now.'

After understanding his role in this battle, Kerza raised all his tentacles, preparing to kill Kai this time. His killing intent even leaked from his eyes as his intention couldn't be clearer.

Kai also raised both swords and challenged him again.

"Ha!" The two clashed again as their clashes alone destroyed some asphalt, walls, or even windows.

Not wanting to be a burden, Sofia placed her hand on the ground and summoned two Magic Circles simultaneously. "Circulation Ice Magic. Chains."

The chains began to move underground.

Kai could hear their sounds and quickly released a powerful Sound Wave from his sword. "Sonokinetic Blade."

"!!!" Kerza grabbed that crescent-shaped Sound Wave, but he was pushed back several meters. He asked in his mind. "He has magic this strong?"

However, before he could think of another thing, two chains emerged from the ground and leaped toward him like a snake, circling around his two tentacles and pulling him to the ground, stopping his movement.

"What?" Kerza tried to shake it off before he sucked a cold breath, feeling the killing intent from the front and behind simultaneously.

Kai went from the front while Roselyn came from the back.

"Sonokinetic Blade."

"Authority Blade."

The two released their most powerful attacks, but Kerza somehow used his last two tentacles to grab their attack.

"Argh!" He even shouted as if he was struggling.

He crushed the Authority Blade first before using all his strength to destroy Kai's Sonokinetic Blade.

Boom.

A burst of shock wave shook the neighborhood as one of the wind gloves he used was rendered useless and blood began to drop to the ground.

Yes, it was Kai's attack that cut a bit of his tentacle. Even so, without Roselyn and Sofia's help, he doubted he could do something like that before figuring Kerza out.

"Ha!" Kerza released a burst of wind and shattered the chains into pieces before jumping backward while spinning his body.

He sent a punch right at Roselyn's face as the latter managed to put her sword in between, stopping that fist.

However, his strength was too strong and the sword began to move closer to her face. To avoid getting injured and leaving the battlefield without being able to help Kai, Roselyn decided to throw herself and let the force blow her away.

She floated in the air for two seconds before landing on the ground, rolling several times, and crashing to a wall.

She coughed a few times with each cough releasing blood. Her body felt the pain, but she simply gritted her teeth, knowing if she went down now, Kai might be in a dangerous position.

At the same time, Kerza and Kai had clashed again to stop Kerza from going to Roselyn. Kai planned to protect Roselyn, but Kerza used this occasion to his advantage.

He struck Kai's sword from below, resulting in him launching Kai into the air.

As Kai was about to use his Sound Blast to return to the ground, a wind barrier that seemed to be a tornado swallowed them as both he and Kerza entered the eye of a tornado, stopping anyone from coming to help.

The wind tried to lift him to the sky, but Kai used his Sound Blast to launch him back to the ground, only to find Kerza had been waiting for him while pulling his fist.

The moment Kai came before his eyes, Kerza used all his might to strike him.

"Sonokinet— Too late!" Knowing it was a failure, Kai quickly gripped the swords tightly as he used them to block that punch, only to find himself getting blown away like Roselyn.

However, he was caught by Sofia before landing on the ground before Sofia placed her hand on the ground to stop Kerza. "Freezing World."

Everything around her was soon covered in ice as even the tornado froze.

Unfortunately, it couldn't stop Kerza for too long as the latter shattered his own freezing tornado and laughed. "This is certainly not enough."
