The Magician of Sound

"What is the condition?" Evan asked with a serious condition.

"It's simple. If you are surrounded, I will be helping you. I will also monitor you at any given time."

"Alright, I agree." He nodded. "I know my weakness well, and how concerned you are about my safety, so I won't say anything about this. Anything other than that, I would like to make a full decision."

"It's your part, you are the one filling the details. I won't say anything other than our general plan." He nodded. "Besides, I have been letting all of you much freedom unless it's necessary."

"True enough." He nodded. "By the way, you don't mind if I take care of all the other magical beasts first, right? Kiting is fine, but I think I can kill around half of them while waiting for you to take down the second one."

"It's your choice."

"Alright." After agreeing to these terms, Kai and Evan decided to go back to their camp, resting through the day to recover from their fatigue.

Kai was trying to come up with another plan that might be better than the one he made on the fly while Evan was wiping his pistol, preparing everything possible.

The next day, they both looked at each other before Kai noticed how Evan brought two cases with him.

"Bullets?" Kai seemed to recognize his intention and asked.

"Yeah. I don't know how many monsters we need to kill since they might order some of the magical beasts to gather around them instead of fighting the two armies. That's why I am planning to make depots where I can resupply."

Kai closed his eyes and contemplated for two minutes before nodding. "I understand. If the situation hasn't changed, I know two perfect spots to make depots. The first depot will be the first layer where we can assemble there to resupply. And I think we can bring some food and water bottles to that place.

"As for the second one, it will be around the coast where we can ask for the Chile Army's help." He suggested but didn't insist on using those two spots.

Knowing his consideration, he nodded. "I will leave it to you. I am not good with this anyway."

"Alright then. Let's go."

Kai and Evan then set off early in the morning toward the coast of Chile, trying to sneak around the Chile Army and the magical beasts.

This allowed them to wait for the three intelligent beasts to order their beasts to attack the humans again.

As soon as they arrived, Kai asked Evan to wait until around nine in the morning before he deemed it safe to go inside their territory.

After making the two depots, they stopped for a while.

"I will say this again. I will take on the intelligent one while you handle the others."

"I understand."

"Let's go. The time limit is one and a half hours."

As soon as Kai said it, they immediately ran toward their first target.

Although he could listen to their footsteps that could be differentiated into three different groups, Kai couldn't discern which one was the strongest or their leader.

Hence, they needed to check which one was the leader, making it even more dangerous. Even so, they could only do it with minimal information, storming in their territory.

Kai had been leading the group this whole time, making sure they didn't run into a group of magical beasts, alarming the enemies.

The process took around an hour before they finally saw their target.

It was a group of a hundred magical beasts, consisting of many types of magical beasts. However, Kai could clearly see the difference between them.

There was one beast that clearly cut out the rest. It was an alpaca. The size of this alpaca wasn't really different from the normal one, but there was this aura that seemed to be clearly above the rest.

"Hmm… This one seems to be a long-ranged beast." Kai narrowed his eyes. "Maybe it can spit out poison… Albeit, that's the first thing that comes into my mind as soon as I see this guy."

"…" Evan fell silent for a second. "I don't know why you have such a thought, but whatever the case, it's going to be like what you said a long-ranged beast. I am afraid that it will use all the magical beasts while throwing something at us."

"Yeah." Kai nodded. "That's why I want you to dedicate the first shot to hit this guy while I become the bait."

"Understood."

"Alright then. Good luck to you."

The place was a plain without anything to hide other than tall grasses. Even so, it wasn't enough to hide the entire body, so they were a bit far from the center itself.

That was why Kai needed to run around thirty meters before the beast could spot him.

The alpaca immediately ordered the magical beasts to attack Kai.

"Nice," Kai muttered when he saw this and went around to gather enough attention, so Evan could run toward the field to make a sneak attack.

Still, as he expected, he found the alpaca staying in the middle of their ranks, looking at Kai as if it wanted to attack him.

So, Evan could succeed in attacking this guy, he needed to make huge chaos among the magical beasts under him. To do that, he ducked down, placing his hand on the ground to summon a giant magic circle.

"Sound Blast." Kai decided to pour more magic power than he usually used to ensure that the battle would surely go well.

Around thirty magical beasts were launched to the sky, but not too high to the point it could cause serious damage to them. Still, it was enough for Kai to gather the alpaca's attention as it narrowed its eyes and opened its mouth.

"Here it comes!" Due to the beasts flying in the air and the others were still trying to close that gap, there was nothing between Kai and Alpaca.

Hence, the alpaca suddenly shot out a green spit or something that flew toward him at high speed.

He instantly summoned his Sound Blast since it still had time to travel. The force coming out of the Sound Blast blew out the spit; although it couldn't send it right back to the Alpaca, it still hit a magical beast that soon filled the gap between them.

The magical beast was a cougar. As soon as it hit by the spit right on the face, the face melted as it howled in agony before dying.

"…" Kai widened his eyes, never expecting to be this great. "That one is dangerous, I guess."

After seeing this, Kai immediately used his Sound Blast to launch him to the alpaca before the beasts that he sent to the air earlier landed on the ground.

"!!!" The alpaca spat out the same poisonous thing again, trying to stop Kai in his advance.

 Seeing this, Kai purposely halted his footstep as if he was trying to avoid it like a newbie. However, Kai had made a careful decision during this process.

As soon as he avoided this attack, another attack was released. The attack came from none other than Evan, who had sneaked behind the alpaca.

The gun still let out a sound despite using a suppressor, and the alpaca picked it up as it turned around to see it, so it could avoid the bullet.

Unfortunately, it was not able to avoid the attack with this timing.

The bullet pierced through its head… Specifically, its left eyes and tore the bridge between two eyes. Although it couldn't destroy the other eyes, he was satisfied during this time around.

Still, the current appearance of that alpaca was horrific.

Kai didn't look away, but he certainly felt a bit bad to see the wound.

The alpaca was swaying left and right before it roared to the sky. Finally, the proud alpaca found itself being hunted by two people and decided to call the backup.

At the same time, the magical beasts finally chased him again from behind.

Evan shot a few of them as Kai made his way toward the alpaca.

The latter suddenly opened its mouth, releasing a kind of green tornado that was filled with poison. With that size alone, it would surely swallow Kai as a whole, so Kai immediately summoned his Sound Blast to blow it away from him like a fan.

It succeeded and even hit some of the magical beasts on his right, but the others caught up at this point.

He had no choice other than to turn his body around and slashed a monkey at the size of a normal human behind him while calculating which ones he should attack next.

Evan helped Kai by shooting a few more, but the latter pointed his finger toward the alpaca. "Kill—"

He wanted to ask Evan to kill the alpaca, but he got interrupted by the other beasts.

"!!!" The monkey he had slashed suddenly held his feet as it used the last bit of its energy to restrain Kai. Kai immediately killed the monkey to free himself, but the other magical beasts had caught up during that split second, trying to stop him from moving.

Suddenly, the alpaca charged at Kai while opening its mouth. He summoned his Sound Blast to blow the spit away, but to his surprise, the alpaca didn't actually intend to attack him using that.

On the contrary, it had another reason, especially with how he coordinated with the magical beasts behind Kai, trying to stop him from moving.

Kai waved his other sword, but the alpaca bit his sword to stop that swing. To his surprise, the alpaca made a ridiculous move he would ever think.

"Seriously?!" The alpaca opened its mouth again, letting Kai's sword slash his mouth. However, it still released its last attack, trying to kill Kai by smearing it with poison.

Spat!
