The Magician of Sound

While the two got shocked, the woman behind her looked at them as if looking at fools. Kai Carter was their absolute king as well as their strongest fighter. If he truly gained his throne as the Human Race's protector, Kai would have killed an S Rank Magical Beast in a single blow.

Her eyes were filled with doubts because she never visited any places or followed the news. After setting off for a journey, she never visited any living cities and went around the places with her group.

Unfortunately, she got into an accident and separated from the rest of her group. Wanting to survive and return to her home, it turned out she couldn't do it and needed to hide from one place to another.

The journey ended up getting even worse because she gradually drifted away from her home all the way to China after one year. Surviving skill was the basic thing they needed to learn in that civilization, so she could somehow kill some weak monsters as well as searching for herbs, so staying alive might be hard but not impossible.

When she arrived in China, Shinkai actually met her, finding that her clothes were not similar to the people in United Asia. It was then he suspected her as someone from another place.

As he was one of the top fighters in Oni Village, he somehow learned about her identity and asked to go back to Oni Village first to ask Ishii whether she could return or not because of the distance and territory.

Before Ishii gave an answer, she actually told him that she would like to become his wife since the people back in her home thought she had died because of the accident.

That answer stopped Ishii from expelling her and took her in. Then at one point, she suddenly missed home so much to the point she didn't feel like doing anything.

Shinkai became concerned and begged Ishii to let him go with or without his wife's permission. No matter how hard she denied him, Shinkai knew that she was missing home. There was also a chance that they needed to be separated when they returned since everyone in their territories was a bit overprotective to their own kin.

Even so, Shinkai wanted her to be happy and settle everything. She knew that kindness in his heart that had been shown since they first met. That was why she married him.

Unfortunately, because of this, she never came out of Oni Village, making her common sense limited to Oni Village and her hometown.

That knowledge gave her enough understanding about the Protector and the fact that someday someone would come to that place. The Race Protectors were Earth's great defenders, ensuring that everything was alright.

Hence they were blessed by everything, especially the strength to enforce the rule and protect the entire race. She once heard that a protector was a kind of a natural disaster itself since they could use magic close to a natural disaster.

Thus, she couldn't comprehend why the girls didn't know their protector, Kai Carter's real worth. She had heard that someone once visited their place a few hundred years ago and left to seek the protector, so she thought that person had told everyone about this type of thing or at least made their important people know something about their protector.

Since the people around him seemed to be important enough, she thought they should know about it. Unfortunately, they seemed to be clueless, so she wondered which one went wrong. Did the person in the past tell them something? If yes, then it wouldn't be lost even if the world was ruined because of the apocalypse.

She wanted to believe that the person didn't tell them anything, but there was the item to tell the world that Kai Carter was the protector on his neck, so she was baffled by the whole situation.

Either way, she observed the battle carefully.

Kai, on the contrary, understood why they were talking about him, but he simply ignored them, feeling great about this new power. To think that something so simple would give him this kind of benefit.

He seemed to have a misunderstanding about the concept of magic this whole time. He admitted that his magic was nasty. From Lullaby to Super Sonic Sword, they were good in their own way.

However, the doubt started to appear in Kai's heart when he realized the power behind his magic just by slightly changing its purpose. The Vibration Sword that was capable of cutting anything could be changed into a massive destruction weapon like his boot. If he chose a spear or a mace instead, the power would be more catastrophic.

There was an option to discover more about his magic to search for another way to use it, but he needed to focus on the mission first.

After slashing the bull's body until it cut through since the bull had exhausted itself because of the continuous attacks from him and Shinkai, Kai finally took a deep breath of relief. "(We've finally killed it. Good work.)"

Shinkai nodded and replied, "(Sir, I think you may want to talk to my wife about the story of the protector first while we're on the way there.)"

"(I don't mind.)" Kai agreed without hesitation. "(I have never heard any of it myself, so I'm curious. Well, to answer your earlier question, I only learned the Oni Language because I just realized my role not long ago and somehow visited the Oni Village, meeting Ishii and his daughter. After talking about various things, I requested him to teach me the Language.)"

"(You can learn it easily in your… Wait, I see.)" Shinkai shook his head helplessly, realizing that there wasn't a single record about the protectors in Human History. Those who ventured outside and watched the changing eras would surely know that it was better to keep this matter secret.

Just like the witches a few centuries ago… He might be mistaken and killed because they couldn't accept that someone had the ability while they did not. Then, in modern society, his body might become a laboratory rat instead of a proper human being.

That was why Kai had no idea about his identity. Although he didn't know from whom he knew about it, he chose to remain silent and believed that Rapakha gave him the information instead of any other people.

Different from them, those who believed that Kai was the ruler of the entire human race would treat him like that of a king. Even if they had the power to overturn all the civilizations to help the protector, they couldn't do it because no matter what anyone said, they were still humans.

Meanwhile, Kai asked another question, "(What do you think about this world? This world that will soon turn chaotic.)"

"(There's nothing I desire other than a peaceful Oni Village.)" Shinkai shook his head, indirectly saying that other than Ishii's request, he wouldn't interfere with anything in this world.

"(At least, we're done here. Let's rest first and continue our journey later.)"

"(I understand. If I may suggest, it's better to go from tomorrow morning because the bull's death will cause a bit of chaotic situation.)"

"(Sure.)" Kai nodded and returned to Sofia and the others with a smile.

Not long after, Arnaud and Jules killed their opponents before Shinkai's roar dispersed the magical beasts.

Both Arnaud and Jules had this glare after finishing their job as if they wanted to say something, yet waiting for Kai to say it. Of course, how could they not? Kai was able to talk with another language that they believed wasn't a human language. And the fact that this person was so polite to Kai, it was easy to see the difference in the hierarchy.

With a single roar, the guy might be able to control tens of thousands of magical beasts to attack the Union. If Kai were also at the helm, the result would be disastrous. They didn't even have confidence whether they could win against him or not, considering Kai was famous because he was a genius of warfare.

Still, the fact that Kai just killed another S Rank Magical Beast so easily truly shocked them. There was no doubt that Kai might have surpassed his teacher, Ria Ross. And if he were to be given one more year to develop in high school, he might become the strongest person in the world… The youngest one on top of that.

This would turn the world into chaos. There might be a huge ruckus in United Asia because he had a grudge against the Katsuragi Family that once wanted to kill him.

Either way, they still followed Kai to rest on the side. Even though there were many monsters nearby, Kai seemed to not care about them because they had been ordered not to attack them.

When the night came, Kai looked at their curious faces and shrugged. "I won't explain anything. There's nothing I can tell you. Besides, I think someone will answer everything when we arrive, so just wait for…"

Before finishing his words, he turned around and asked Shinkai, "(How long the journey will take again?)"

"(Two days by foot, but if Sir wants to use some beasts, we can reach that place before night if we leave tomorrow morning.)"

"(I can't talk to them though.)"

"(Don't worry. I will be handling everything.)"

"(Then, I will be relying on you to get them. I think it will be a good experience for me too.)"

"(Thank you very much, Sir.)" Shinkai surprisingly thanked Kai for that decision. But when he glanced at his wife, his intention was already discovered.

He wanted to ride a beast so that his wife would have an easier time.
