The Magician of Sound

Chapter 84 - Mission (Part 2)



Boom! Boom! Boom!

The wolves were butchered by the explosions one by one. Tasha was carefully watching this event unfold as she needed to make sure none of the ordinary wolves were left.

She drew her bow while searching for any signs of survivor wolves, but it seemed that she was worried for nothing. She didn\'t see any signs of even one wolf that managed to survive those explosions. Even the big wolf had its feet charred by the explosions.

"Michelle, ready your weapon. Ayaka, ready your fire. We\'re fighting the giant wolf," Kai immediately ordered.

"Shadow Weapon."

"Firebirds."

Michelle turned her shadow into two swords while Ayaka summoned her firebirds, waiting for the smoke to clear up before engaging the leader.

"!!!" Kai suddenly heard something and appeared in front of Michelle. He raised both of his hands to the front and made a big magic circle.

"Oscillation Shield."

A ball of blue light suddenly pierced the smoke and flew toward Michelle, but it was intercepted by Kai.

Boom! 

Kai was blown away by the explosions, landing thirty meters behind them. Luckily, the attack didn\'t manage to break his defense, so the damage wasn\'t significant.

"Kai!" Ayaka shouted. The others didn\'t say anything as they knew Kai was fine.

Michelle immediately charged toward the smoke while Tasha released her arrow. "Lightning Piercer."

Tasha shot out a lightning bolt in the form of an arrow. It flew toward the giant wolf that was slowly revealed in the smoke.

The arrow was immediately intercepted by the wolf\'s paw.

"!!!" Tasha didn\'t expect that her arrow would be blocked just with a single paw. Even so, that wasn\'t the main cause of her shock. Right after the wolf blocked her arrow, she saw a blue aura coming out of its paw. "This is bad… Michelle, retreat! That thing is an A-rank wolf! It\'s going to shoot magic!"

Hearing that it was an A-rank magical beast, Michelle immediately knew that it had awakened its intelligence.

Just as Tasha finished her words, the wolf shot out another ball of light toward Michelle.

Seeing this, the dark blades suddenly fused into a long two-handed sword. She swung her sword down.

"Shadow Slash!"

The sword released a dark flame while shooting a big dark sword slash. The dark slash cut the ball of light into two.

However, it didn\'t stop there. As soon as the blade reached the ground, it transferred the dark energy from her sword to the ground, spiking ten meters to the sky.

This residual dark energy blew all the smoke away and made its way toward the wolf. Seeing this, the wolf immediately avoided it to the side.

Michelle only smirked as she said to Tasha, "Got anything to say?"

"Nope." Tasha smiled as she drew her bow and aimed at the sky. "Lighting Storm."

The arrow flew diagonally and stopped right above the wolf. It then made a huge circle in the sky before striking down like a lightning strike. It was as deadly as it was beautiful.

The wolf leader tried to dodge to the side, but it was at this time Ayaka\'s firebirds arrived from the other side.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Although it managed to avoid death by Tasha\'s lightning attack, the wolf got a big burn wound because of Ayaka.

"Aoooo!"

Michelle retreated as she noticed Kai had come back. In fact, the last attack from Ayaka was his instruction.

Kai looked at the wolf that appeared to be fine even after being hit by Ayaka\'s attack and gave his order, "The wolf is stronger than we expected. Hereby, we\'re changing our strategy. The body part of this wolf is hard as even those explosions didn\'t do much damage.

"Hence, we\'ll take it apart from its thinnest parts. First, its ears, eyes, legs, then its stomach. After that, we\'ll do the finishing blow.

"Michelle will go cut its ears while Sister will snipe its eyes. I\'ll take care of its movement and Ayaka will roast the wolf if there\'s a chance."

"Understood." All of them said almost simultaneously as they moved to their positions. Michelle and Kai charged at the wolves while Ayaka moved to the side. On the other hand, Tasha disappeared from their vision and searched for the best sniping position.

"Aooo!" The wolf looked at Kai angrily as it finally knew the leader of this group of humans. It started running toward him.

The wolf threw a paw toward Kai and Ayaka, trying to separate them. He succeeded as Michelle leaped to the side. The wolf then threw another paw toward Kai, wanting to crush him.

"Oscillation Shield."

Kai simply used his Oscillation again and stomped the ground hard to make sure he wouldn\'t lose in terms of strength.

Bam!

It was easier said than done. The ground cracked before making a little crater beneath his feet.

Seeing that he stopped the wolf\'s momentum, he immediately dodged to the side and swung both of his swords toward its paw.

Unexpectedly, even with his strength, he didn\'t manage to pierce the inner layer, only making shallow marks on the paw. Seeing that, he immediately leaped one meter above the ground and struck the wolf\'s leg with his foot.

"Aooo!"

The wolf lost its balance because of this and fell to the side.

Michelle and Tasha didn\'t miss this chance. Michelle appeared right in front of the wolf and cut one of its ears.

She didn\'t want to miss this precious chance, so she immediately went for the second ear, but the wolf threw a paw at her despite losing its balance.

Kai immediately appeared in front of her again and used his Oscillation Shield. As they were in the air when the paw struck, they were blown away.

Meanwhile, Tasha released her arrow right toward its right eye, but the wolf opened its mouth and shot out the magic again and blew her arrow.

Tasha\'s snipe didn\'t succeed, but it managed to distract the wolf. Because they were blown away, their shadows were projected on the ground by the sun. Michelle enhanced the shadow and connected it to their bodies.

She grasped it like grabbing a rope attached to the ground and stopped the momentum. She then pulled it up, making them swing toward the wolf again.

She and Kai swung their weapons at the same time. Michelle took its other ear while Kai slashed its right eye.

"!!!" At that time, a magic circle appeared right above the fallen wolf. Michelle then grabbed Kai and pulled him away from the wolf.

"Scarlet Explosion!" Ayaka, who was waiting for this moment, finally took the chance to use her skill.

Boom!

Kai had witnessed the power of this explosion, so he didn\'t worry about it.

"Aooo!" The wolf released a painful scream. It was brutally combo-ed by Kai and the others. Even so, the combo wasn\'t finished yet as Tasha released another arrow and aimed it toward its left eye.

"Lightning Piercer."

"Aooo!" The wolf finally lost its ears and eyes. It could be said that they managed to not only blind the wolf, but also deafen it.

Without its ears and eyes, the wolf fell into despair. It shot out another ball of light, but due to the lack of sight and hearing, it was aimed at the ground.

Kai simply raised his shield to protect Michelle from the shockwave.

Immediately, the wolf used the blast to stand up and ran away. Unfortunately, having lost its sense of direction, it ran in Ayaka\'s direction.

Ayaka knew what to do in this situation. She simply raised both of her hands as she made a huge magic circle.

"Fire Net."

Even though the wolf had lost its eyes and ears, it could still feel the intense heat in front of him. The wolf immediately tried to stop, but it was too late.

It failed to make a full stop before the fire net enveloped and roasted him.

"Aoo!"

"Ayaka, move a few meters to your right." She suddenly heard Kai\'s instruction and saw Michelle raise her two-handed sword, ready to swing it down. She immediately jumped to the right as Michelle swung her sword down.

"Shadow Slash!"

The energy of darkness immediately moved on the ground, cleaving the road into two. The wolf\'s instinct sensed danger, but it couldn\'t do anything as it was still restricted by Ayaka\'s fire net.

Because of that, the wolf was cut into two by Michelle\'s slash. Michelle laughed after killing the wolf. "Fuu… that\'s nice. I usually need to take the assassin position, but if I fight together with you, I can release my full power."

"I\'m glad." Kai just smiled as he then said, "Sister and Ayaka too, good work."

"My arrow could only be a distraction for this wolf, this sucks." Tasha sighed.

"No. It was because of your understanding of the situation and your commands that the fight became easier," Ayaka said humbly.

"Anyway, I\'ll search for the cores. We can exchange the cores with money to buy equipment," Michelle said as she leaped toward the giant wolf.

She dug down a blue crystal out of its head. This was the core that could be used as fuel and such. The crystal itself was around 50 centimeters wide, so it was pretty big. She also checked the other wolves and found a few small crystals.

"With all of this, we should be able to get around fifty thousand dollars." She was smiling. Suddenly, her communication device rang. It was from the student council president.

"What is it?" Michelle picked up the call.

"It finally reached. There\'s an emergency mission. You four shall make your way toward Prince Rupert to your west. It seems they\'re under heavy attack from sea magical beasts. All the people nearby have been called for this, so they\'re also on their way.

"At first, I didn\'t want to have your group participate, considering how you\'ll need to pass Valpy Mountain Range and don\'t have a helicopter to bring you there, but I remembered that you have teleportation magic, so I chose to inform you. Don\'t worry, there will be a reward."
