The Magician of Sound

"Teleportation!"

Tasha teleported them to somewhere near the terrain.

"That is the wall. Let's go." Michelle looked around, found the tall wall, and commanded.

The others glanced at it and nodded, raising their weapons. Suddenly, they heard a thunderous crashing sound.

*Baam!*

They quickly furrowed their eyebrows, especially when the loud sound was followed by the shouts of soldiers.

"General!"

Michelle opened her mouth in surprise as she looked at Tasha, "He… No, we need to go right now!"

Tasha nodded and followed Michelle to the battlefield. Ayaka summoned her Fire Wing and flew to the sky while the others decided to run toward the wall.

However, what they found shocked them. There were many craters around the area. Although no wall had yet to be broken, the situation was perilous. Many dead soldiers around the area and their number must have surpassed Kai's prediction. And the most important thing they had seen was the crater with dust kicked up. It was proof that the loud sound they heard earlier was coming from that.

As soon as the dust settled down, the figure of Kai appeared in their vision and found that his body was covered by wounds. Even so, Kai still stood up while looking at the creature close to the sea.

It was a crab. The crab looked like it had a humanoid form, albeit with six small legs. Its claw looked strong and hard, while the edge looked very sharp. There was also something that took their attention. There were many wavy patterns around the claws, symbolizing that Kai managed to destroy a part of that hard shell.

Even so, Kai's situation was certainly far from good. He looked at the crab and the approaching Silva.

"Sir Kai. I am afraid this is it. We have tried everything we can, but the enemies are too powerful. To think they have a monster like that." Silva gritted his teeth and glared at the crab.

Kai shook his head. "There is still a chance… Do you believe me?"

Silva thought for a moment and nodded.

"Everything will change within ten minutes." His sound was filled with bravery, confidence, and plan.

Silva couldn't shake the strange feeling inside his heart and nodded to Kai. "I understand. We still have three hundred soldiers for our fighter and two hundred for gunners. We should be able to withstand their relentless assault for ten minutes."

Kai smiled and patted his shoulder before walking toward the crab. "Besides, our first reinforcement has arrived."

As soon as Kai said that, he leaped toward the crab. "I killed a Protector previously with the help of my Teacher. Let this be the time I kill a Protector with…"

The crab noticed him coming and pounced his claws toward Kai. Suddenly, two bullets struck his two claws. The force behind each of them was enough to blow these claws away.

On top of the wall, there was a woman who was handling two sniper rifles. Normally, she would be smiling, but because of the recent thing that happened, she was completely in a bad mood. The only way to vent it up was to blast the monster with her weapons.

Beside her was another woman aiming her bow toward the sky. She released a purple arrow before it transformed into a magic circle. This huge purple magic circle startled the people on the battlefield.

"Lightning Storm!"

The previous arrow then gave birth to a lightning bolt, striking toward the crab.

Kai smiled as he abruptly stopped his movement, letting the lightning bolt hit the crab.

However, the crab was better than an ordinary magical beast. He was a Protector. Knowing full well that he couldn't use his claws to block this lightning strike, he bent down and took it right on his back. That shell was harder than the claws, so it withstood Tasha's Lightning Attack without any problem.

Albeit, the real intention behind these attacks was to let Michelle, Ayaka, and the others catch up with him.

"This is going to be a hard battle. Michelle, Ayaka, Sofia, and I will hold the opponent back. Eva, Eve, Tommy, Nicholas, and Julia will help the others in pushing back the magical beasts." Kai glanced at Sofia. "You are going to help, right? I will make sure I work you to death."

"Understood." They shouted in unison while Sofia scratched her cheek, wondering whether she made the right choice or not.

Michelle then handed a device to Kai. "This is the upgraded version of your sharing device. Throw that away and use this one. Tasha has been using one, so you only need to make some adjustments, and it will be alright. It's from your teacher."

Kai looked at the device and furrowed his eyebrows. He removed the current device and changed with the new one without hesitation.

The magic power started filling his body.

"Take a minute or two to get used to that state. Your Teacher said you could use your new magic with this, so you might probably need to use it later. Anyway, Ayaka and I will buy you time for now. Sofia will protect you for the time being." Michelle nodded and assured him. "Don't worry. Isabelle and Tasha are supporting us."

Michelle then looked at Ayaka as both of them nodded at the same time, charging at the crab together.

"Shadow Slash!"

The two sword strikes were running through the ground. However, the crab didn't find it amusing as he simply brushed it off with a single claw.

On his left, Ayaka arrived and struck him with the momentum and heaviness of her spear. Nevertheless, her strength was still too far from the Protector.

"Only he is qualified to fight against me, Eru. Scram, you little chick." The crab caught her spear and shattered it into pieces.

"!!!" Ayaka was surprised to see this and immediately flew away.

Michelle frowned and created a spear, throwing it to Ayaka. "It's not as powerful as your spear, but make do with it for now."

Ayaka thanked her and attacked him again.

Eru glanced at this and yawned. He pointed the claw toward Ayaka.

"Fu." On the other hand, Ayaka was still trying to calm her heart down by taking a few deep breaths. Knowing that the spear was far lighter than her previous spear, she decided to use another strategy to deal with this crab.

When the claw almost hit her, she accelerated. Bending down her body, she went around the crab and struck his chest.

"Kh!" The crab felt that strike earlier and was going to catch her, but the latter already went around and struck his hard-back.

Ayaka continued to do it. Using her speed coming from the Wildebeest Blood, she was filled with a change of pace. From zero to max speed and struck at the Protector and from max speed to zero to turn around. She let the Wildebeest instinct take over her to make an unpredictable movement.

"So, this is what Ayaka has been training about… Because she is not relying on the heaviness of her spear anymore, she started changing to this pattern." Michelle smiled as she clenched her weapons tightly, not wanting to lose. A magic circle appeared beneath her feet as her shadow came to life.

"Ayaka, I will handle the claws. You go search for his weakness and strike at that point." Michelle commanded as she and her shadow ran in the opposite directions, trying to target the claws.

"Alright," Ayaka shouted and attacked the Protector according to the plan.

The two were fighting coordinately. Even Sofia, on the side, was amazed by their coordination. "So, this is Lion Group… Interesting."

"You worms!" Eru became angry as he finally released the might that he used to fight Kai. In a single instant, Eru sped up and struck both Michelles and Ayaka.

"Kh!" Michelle and her shadow blocked these attacks and pushed back a few meters. Meanwhile, Ayaka's momentum was disturbed, resulting in her having a weird sense of balance, and this attack blew her away before crashing into the left wall.

*Boom!*

Michelle didn't want Eru to have the freedom to move, so she gritted her teeth and slashed the ground again.

"Shadow Slash!" Her shadow also did the same movement as her and struck Eru from left and right.

"Tch." Eru clicked his tongue. After exceeding his limit for a split second, his body was still weak.

At the same time, a few fireballs appeared and rained it down on Eru.

"Boom Boom Boom!"

The smoke appeared and surrounded Eru.

Unbeknownst to all of them, there was another woman that finally couldn't control her instinct anymore. She rushed toward the battle and emerged from within the smoke.

On her hand, many white thin metal rods were attached, giving her additional strength.

"I hope you do not forget me…" Sofia appeared with a smile as she punched the crab right on its stomach.

The crab noticed this and immediately moved his two claws, albeit another two shots were fired, blasting the two claws again.

Sofia grinned and connected the attack, blowing the crab a few meters away.

"Kh… So hard…" Sofia clenched her fist after noticing how hard it was. Even so, her eyes were still locked on the crab.

Sofia, Ayaka, and Michelle surrounded him from the three sides with his back facing the sea. They made sure the crab wouldn't interfere with the war in any way. But it seemed they still underestimated the power of SSS Rank magical Beast.

"I will show you why that guy can't win against me!" Eru roared as water suddenly burst out of the sand and surrounded him. He punched the sand, and the water suddenly turned into crescent blades running through the ground in all directions.

Whether they were magical beasts or humans, the blades slashed them like nothing before destroying the walls on their right and left.

Michelle also got this attack and blocked with her swords. Unfortunately, she needed every power and released another Shadow Slash just to destroy a single water blade.

The price of her doing so was the annihilation of her shadow. It got cut into two. Because it was directly connected to her, Michelle spat out some blood as soon as it got cut.

On the other hand, Ayaka released her Fire Net and evaporated the water gradually before it could reach her, albeit it took her quite a lot of magic power.

The same applied to Sofia. She froze the water blade by touching it directly. However, the strength behind it was far beyond her expectation. She looked at her bleeding palm along with the bending rods and let out a deep breath.

The magical beasts noticed the gap between the left and right walls and started going there.

"Not good!"

"They are going around and head to the town!"

The magical beasts were their concern, but their main concern was the Protector. In a single move, he overturned the situation.

In the middle of the battlefield, when everyone thought about their bad situation, there was a guy that finally finished his preparation. Kai furrowed his eyebrows and stood up. "Thank you, you three. I have managed to fuse with the magic power. Let's overturn the situation, shall we?"
