The Magician of Sound

"Move out!" Ria shouted in front of forty thousand people.

"Yes, Ma'am!" The soldiers saluted and shouted in unison before starting to walk.

Kai looked back and gradually turned his vision to the sky. They just arrived at the temporary base they could make before going to the spider. It took approximately two hours of running before they entered the spider's territory.

After that airplane carrying them to this base, they approached the border with the military trucks. It took a lot of trucks to bring these forty thousand people.

Even so, the journey went without a hitch. At the very least, he didn't hear a single thing that would lead to a problem.

The soldiers passed him as he could be considered as a special officer at this point.

Ria spotted him and walked to him. "Do you have anything in mind?"

"Nothing." Kai shook his head as their eyes intertwined. Ria wore the same uniform as the one in the previous raid mission. However, the stars on her shoulder weren't four anymore. Instead, it was five, symbolizing her status as the Marshal, the one with the highest command in the base in time of war.

"You are going to inform us the moment you find the spider, right?"

"If the data is correct about its size, I should be able to find it as long as we enter its territory." Kai nodded before pointing his finger toward the soldiers, signaling Ria to get moving now.

The two then started jogging to catch up with the group, heading to the uncharted territory.

They continued for two hours straight. The four armies found some monsters in the meantime, so they took care of them while moving. And as expected, the moment they passed the border, the magical beasts began to appear more often.

Kai had predicted this situation, and the group slowed down their march, so the loss could be minimized. The two hours journey became four hours, but the loss was only about four hundred in total while they had killed more than five thousand magical beasts.

There was nothing but feeling secured to have this many commanders at one mission because they arranged their own army to perfection.

Ria was protecting Kai by running beside him. She could see that he was closing his eyes to focus his attention on his ears, listening to their surroundings.

'This is a hard task for him… Not only that, but the spider also barely make any sound or move. He needs to do this…' Ria thought for a moment. 'Still, we need his ability.'

While she was thinking of this, Kai didn't leave a single sound, whether it was weak or strong. He kept searching until, at one point, he found something large.

"This…" Kai muttered to himself.

"You have found it?" Ria immediately asked.

"Yes, but…" Kai hesitated for a second, wondering if they should have gone that way.

"What happened?"

"Not far from the giant spider, there are around a hundred spiders. I believe they are from the same species."

"It's fine. Our elite group should be able to handle it. We can stick to the plan." Ria nodded with a serious expression.

"Not only that, I have found a concentrated area of magical beasts… It's in our seven. The spider is in our eight…"

"Hmm… It's hard to believe it's a coincidence. Hence, we can safely assume they are our other enemies."

"Yes." Kai nodded.

Ria called Via without hesitation, asking her to send a signal.

Just like that, a projection appeared in the sky with "B8 - 6" written on it.

It meant formation B while moving to their eight. The commanders immediately changed their position according to the formation while watching their six.

They had made several formations. The first one was A, where they could engage the spider freely. They only needed to surround it while stopping the magical beasts from helping the spider. This one was the second formation. It was a receiving formation for another incoming enemy.

Nathan and Paolo came to the front while Ethan and Jose went to their right.

Luckily, they had yet to be noticed by the enemies.

Kai gradually walked to the front while carrying his weapon. Ria, Tasha, Michelle, and the other elites also followed him.

Looking at these one hundred people, Kai said, "The spider is a bit more than a kilometer in that direction. The moment it hit five hundred meters, we are going to sprint to that place."

"At the same time, I want all of you to focus on the smaller ones first. Kai and I will be holding the bigger one for a while. After that, as planned, ten of you will be supporting us while the others watch out for an attack coming from the surface or underground." Ria added while glancing at these people.

Since they shouldn't leave a huge roar, they simply nodded. They were the most elites chosen from each army. They knew not all of them could fight against the S rank magical beasts. But they were not like a kid who thought they deserved to fight such a being.

Instead, they thought supporting and defending the main attacks were the most important jobs. After all, without them fending the enemies, the main attack couldn't focus on the spider.

Their aura was more ferocious than the Ria and Kai because of this. The two, on the other hand, smiled at each other, knowing that their army had prepared to go for the worse.

After another minute, Kai and Ria leaped at the same time, leading the army from the very front even though there was still one kilometer. Their reaction simply due to seeing a city in front of them. The group immediately reacted and followed right behind them.

Seeing this sudden movement, Ethan and Jose immediately shouted on top of their lungs. "The arrow has been shot. Formation C! Surround the city!"

It created a chain reaction to the entire army, including Nathan and Paolo. They also shouted to their soldiers. "Formation C. We are going at full speed! The city is not that big. Spread out and circle around the city."

The group had been trained to not let out a sound even after getting an order. Instead, they let their bodies react naturally as they slowly changed their positions before running at their full speed to their eight.

At this time, the Student and Teacher duo already led the entire army from the very front.

"Three magical beasts spotted. Two on our right, one on our left." Kai informed her while knowing there were a few more magical beasts before they could meet the rumored S rank magical beast.

"I take the right. You kill the left one." Ria nodded as the two monsters came into her vision. They were a snake and a fox.

Meanwhile, the one that attacked Kai was a mutated cow. Unlike the normal animal, this cow had sharp horns capable of piercing through their body.

Unfortunately, their enemies were the monstrous duo. The moment they arrived in front of them. Kai struck his sword at the cow's horns, cutting it before the swords sent its head flying.

The horns might be hard, but it still was not strong enough to block Kai's Vibration Swords.

Meanwhile, Ria also took only a split second to butcher these two monsters. She first struck the snake that seemed to block her sword with its fang before letting the fox bite her.

Unfortunately, the snake didn't know Ria let it stop her sword, so she could leap to the air with that force that killed her momentum.

And the moment she saw the snake's head from above, she slashed it, separating the head with its body.

*Roar!* The fox was coming to her.

Normally, Ria could kill the fox with a single strike, but she was currently upside down. The soldiers were wondering how the fiercest fighters in the US Base would turn around the situation.

The answer came in the form of a kick. Ria let the fox bite her boot, only to find a magic circle appear right after. It was at this time the fox knew it was the worst move he could use. Unfortunately, a sword emerged first, not letting the fox to react.

Ria immediately landed after spinning her body and continued running. And just like that, the three magical beasts got their lives taken by this duo.

The soldiers were amazed by not only their coordination but their attack pattern. However, they also knew their limit and didn't plan to replicate such a move in a battle this big. Even the one hundred people of Ria's personal army only admired her silently. In fact, they thought they couldn't have it otherwise because Ria needed to step down if she wasn't that capable.

'Follow the general!' The elite group had the same thought as they also started killing because the closer they were, the more magical beasts around.

With that, the group started facing some problems, forcing the two to decrease their speed.

They ran across the black asphalt road while being stormed by many beasts. Even so, the group continued before Kai turned left on the corner. "It's here!"

The moment they heard it, their body started to tense up, knowing the big battle would soon start. Yet, the moment they turned around, not a single spider could be seen.

'Where is the spider?' The moment they arrived at the scene. She looked around, searching for the spider. They seemed to arrive in a small town with a size of less than one kilometer in radius. The spider had built a giant web between two tall buildings. She saw it after Kai jumped, trying to make the first move to hinder the spider from moving.

However, as one would expect from an S rank magical beast, its reaction speed was far greater. It immediately moved its body as its voice resounded across the region.

"Scree!"
