The Magician of Sound

"!!!"

The water particles gathered around her body, creating two more water walls behind and in front of her.

Kai pulled out his sword without hesitation and created his Oscillation Shield. Michelle also did the same and created a wall with her shadow.

Suddenly, the water walls moved and pushed them a few meters back, including Tasha's, Ayaka's, and Sofia's attacks, giving the zodiac a valuable chance to either make a counterattack or an escape.

It seemed the zodiac chose the latter as she leaped toward Kai with a water bubble covering her hand.

A magic circle appeared in her hand as she punched forward as if she was hitting the magic circle itself. And it turned out that the water bubble in her hand became a few water streams. Just like when the water got an increase in speed when it flowed through a smaller tube, this magic took this principle to turn the water bubble that was supplied with a huge amount of water into a few streams with high speed.

These streams flowed across the air, heading toward Kai like a snake. Kai furrowed his eyebrows and took a glance at his back, listening to the footsteps of the magical beasts that were getting closer to their position. It seemed the woman planned to use the magical beasts as a distraction, so she could escape. Unfortunately, she met Kai and Sofia.

"The magical beasts still need around thirty seconds to come…" Kai calculated the distance and created an Oscillation Shield to block her attack since she might take advantage of him, dodging the move to get past him. It was better to defend against this attack because he could make a full leap toward her.

However, Kai underestimated the power of these streams. The moment it struck his shield, he was pushed back a few meters until he reached a brittle building. After several hundred years, the building looked as if it wanted to collapse, especially when he saw the rubbles that had fallen from the upper floors.

"She wants to bury me with this building?" Kai frowned before he saw how his teammates moved. Ayaka flew to the sky and aimed her firebirds toward her or dove down to rescue Kai. Sofia also created a blue magic circle to freeze this building or build an ice wall to shelter him. Michelle was ready to unleash her Shadow Slash, while Tasha had prepared her teleportation.

It was at this time the female zodiac made her move. Kai felt the pressure lessened and noticed that the woman had slipped past him.

"No, you won't!" Kai gritted his teeth and kicked one of the rubbles before using his Sound Blast to enhance it.

The rubble with the size of a human head flew like a bullet, hitting the woman's back.

*Roar Roar!* She screamed in pain but didn't stop using her feet. At the same time, the magical beasts had almost reached her. She thought she would be safe as soon as these beasts sacrificed their lives for her.

Kai and his group obviously didn't let such a thing. Kai clenched his swords and started running toward her.

The others also chased all of them.

*Roar!* Another roar echoed in the region, but it didn't come from the female. Instead, it came from the tiger that somehow managed to come to her front and protected her from this group.

Kai looked at this five-meter tiger that sent his paw to squeeze him to death. Without wasting a single second, he created a green magic circle, not on his hand, but beneath his feet.

*Bam!*

The tiger seemed to have stomped Kai as the sound reverberated in everyone's ears. Even the zodiac smiled as if she just escaped death, or that was what she thought.

Suddenly, the tiger was split into two by a dark wave running through the ground, followed by a shock wave that blew this tiger apart.

Kai made a small smile as he glanced at his back, finding Michelle unleashed her Shadow Slash. As always, she sent her attack in perfect time.

With this, nothing stands between him and the woman. He created another pair of magic circles and blasted the tiger toward the other magical beasts to prevent them from helping the woman. At the same time, the magic circle below his feet launched him toward the woman like a bullet.

"!!!"

The woman was about to turn around, but Kai already appeared with his swords. His lion blood had already stimulated its aura, scaring the woman for a split second.

Kai slashed his swords toward the woman's feet, separating them from the woman's body and making her unable to escape anymore.

This would be a perfect chance for him to kill this female, but Kai suddenly retracted his swords and made a huge leap backward.

The woman was baffled at first and thought the attack had stopped since the magical beasts had arrived to stop him. It was at this time Tasha and Sofia appeared from the sky, unnoticed by the beasts.

"Lightning Piercer!"

"Ice Particles. Cube!"

Tasha released her three arrows in succession while Sofia released smaller cubes to create some more wounds to her body.

*Boom Boom Boom!*

Tasha's magic caused the sound, while Sofia's ice cubes only made a small sound and wounds, but it was followed by a scream from the woman.

"Sound Blast!"

Kai stepped in again with his swords, looking at the woman and the two snails beside her. They looked like they were going to stop Kai even with their body… Albeit, they needed to pass Michelle before that.

Kai only smiled as he listened to the rumbling sound behind his back, followed by the dark waves that struck the two snails.

"Kh!" The female gritted her teeth. She couldn't even stand anymore because Kai cut her two feet, and yet no magical beast could help her in this situation. Not only the five of them had perfect coordination, but they were also extraordinary in their own way.

Kai flew right above her with a dangerous glint in his eyes. His emanating killing intent made her instinctively create a shield to protect her head.

*Snort!* Kai had never aimed at her head. He sliced both of her arms at her shoulder, making her unable to escape.

What is strange is that all people from Lion Group had dispersed themselves from Kai, who flew past her, or Tasha, who had teleported back with Sofia. Michelle was already far away to begin with. Everything seemed to be planned for another action.

At this time, a red glowing magic circle appeared a few meters above the zodiac's head.

She had been lying low this whole time after helping Kai just for this. Calculating the distance between her and the beast, she knew where and when she needed to use this attack. She couldn't help but recall Kai's special mission.

'When the zodiac is cornered, you need to use your biggest explosion and turn that person into smithereens. It's better to do it, so there won't be another case like this anymore.'

She agreed to it, and here she is, flying not far from her and using her magic.

"Scarlet Explosion!" Ayaka widened her eyes, clapped her hand, and shouted as she activated the magic circle, causing a huge explosion to the surroundings.

As for the female zodiac, who was engulfed by the explosion, it was hard to see whether she was still alive or not considering her state.

When the wind blew the smoke away, they found nothing other than a few torn clothes that had yet to be burned.

Kai leaped toward the crater made by the explosion and examined the zodiac's previous location. "She's dead. Let's go back since we have completed the mission."

"How about the other magical beasts?" Ayaka asked while glancing at the incoming magical beasts.

"That's not our mission. I am just following General Sanders's order." Kai shook his head before saying. "I will tell General Sanders about the mission and leave."

"We will follow you." Ayaka nodded and asked Tasha to prepare for another teleportation.

Kai and the group killed the magical beasts in front of them first before running across the city, meeting the general a few hundred meters away from them. Kai told him everything, including the fact that the corpse was reduced to ashes.

After that, Tasha teleported them to the helicopter and returned to the school. Meanwhile, the soldiers killed all the magical beasts before going back to their base. Of course, Kai still waited until the soldiers finished and confirmed they had killed all of them.

The mission seemed to have concluded without any problem… Or at least, all of them thought so, except Kai.

The next day.

A grey-haired woman walked inside the city, specifically where the battle against the zodiac took place. She looked around and found a broken wall that looked artificial.

"Hmm… This way." She went inside a building, looking around the pile of rubbles as if she was searching for something important. Only a few minutes later she finally found a woman's body that had injuries all over her body. "This is the dead body… It's not perfect, but it's fine. He needed to make a façade for me anyway."

"It seems I have requested something hard from my disciple. According to him, he used Sound Blast to blow her away and have that lass Ayaka use her Scarlet Explosion to cover the truth. Luckily, no one realizes this, including Ayaka herself.

"Anyway, I will recover the body first to see if there is another possibility to save those zodiacs that have turned into monsters. Maybe, I can also help my beloved disciple with a new possibility." She muttered to herself before grabbing the woman with her hand.

She treated her wounds carefully and dressed her well. The wound and smell had been hidden due to this before she put the woman inside a huge back.

Carrying that bag on her back, she finally disappeared again.
