The Magician of Sound

Chapter 163 - Battle Style



"Those two behind are B rank magical beasts." Kai pointed at the two ants behind the magical beasts pack. After finishing the first spacious area, they continued fighting the magical beasts without resting. Luckily, they didn\'t need so much energy because their team was powerful enough to end a big battle in an instant.

"You guys can take them on while we pave you guys the way." Yuki nodded and looked at the two ants that had bigger bodies than the rest.

"Understood." Kai nodded before signaling Michelle to make the first move.

"Shadow Slash!" Michelle sent two sword waves, cutting every single insect on its way and creating a quite big path for them. "We will take this path."

Yuki smiled and nodded before charging forward, according to Michelle\'s part.

The ant in front of her tried to bite her, but she simply dodged to the side and slashed her sword right on the joint that connected the head and the body. 

*Scree!*

The ant managed to scream once before Yuki sent its head flying. Sanae also sent her two star knives to make sure no creatures could come close while they were approaching the ants.

Kai furrowed his eyebrows when he looked at the two ants. They didn\'t have any different from normal ants other than their size, so he expected to kill them as quickly as possible. The problem would be whether he and Michelle fought them separately or hunted one of them first before going to the other.

In the midst of his thought, Kai noticed the slight movement from the ant. It looked like the two ants would ram them as soon as they arrived. Thinking about it, Kai said, "Michelle. You take one of them. I will end the other one."

"Alright." Michelle nodded. "Want to see who is faster? Is your Vibration Sword or my Shadow Slash stronger?"

Kai smiled. "Their body is not big, so my Vibration Sword is stronger."

"You won\'t know until we finish." Michelle snorted before locking her eyes on the left ant. 

"There are only three ants left. Get ready." Yuki shouted.

Kai and Michelle nodded and clenched their swords tightly.

"Ha!" To speed up the process, Yuki struck another one in front of her while Sanae took the two behind it.

*Bam!*

The one that Yuki killed fell to the ground while Sanae blasted the two against each other before Yuki appeared and struck both simultaneously. 

After killing the three magical beasts, Yuki moved to the left while Sanae moved to the right. They moved in sync and covered each other back. The reason they quickly changed their direction was to ensure that Kai and Ayaka didn\'t have any interference while fighting these two ants.

However, Ayaka and the others also noticed their movement even though they didn\'t move together. As vanguards, Ayaka and Henry quickly helped Yuki and Sanae while Tasha, Mela, and Greta supported them. Nita, as Evan\'s bodyguard, also moved up a little bit to protect the attackers and Evan while they were supporting from the side. 

Seeing this situation, Kai and Michelle couldn\'t take their time. Kai\'s Vibration Sword was already activated on both swords. However, the ants suddenly showed something surprising. Even though it had a huge body, it suddenly accelerated to the point it had twice the normal ant\'s speed. The power, of course, didn\'t need to be mentioned. 

Unfortunately, their opponents this time were Kai and Michelle.

Kai slashed down his sword at their mandible.

"!!!" The moment the two clashed, he noticed resistance from the mandible, which meant it was stronger than the normal ant\'s. Yet, the hardness alone was still not comparable to Kai\'s sharpness. It slowly cut through the mandible and moved toward the head. 

At this time, the ant noticed the sword\'s strength and moved to the side, redirecting Kai\'s sword to the side.

*Scree!*

Kai lifted his eyebrows in surprise. Normal ants would be killed by now, but this stronger ant was still able to dodge with losing only its mandible. The cut piece of mandible flew away and grazed his upper right arm.

It used its thin lag to push Kai away, but it was gone with a single wave of his sword. Kai landed on the ground and ran toward the bottom of the ant, slashing his sword at its body. The blood began flowing like crazy, and when he got past the ant, he leaped onto its back before doing the same thing.

Kai injured it heavily before moving to its head, striking it from the back.

The head flew off, and the body gradually crumbled to the ground. Kai, who just killed it, looked at Michelle and found out that she already finished her job a few seconds earlier than him.

The smug on her face slightly irritated him, so he pointed at the other ants, telling her they still needed to kill the remaining magical beasts.

Michelle shrugged and leaped forward to help Yuki while Kai went to Sanae. Without the two bigger ants, the other creatures died one by one.

"Fu." Kai took a deep breath after finishing the battle.

This battle was also not like the battle in Cuba Military Base, where they needed to be extra careful so as to not let the enemy overwhelm them or hold their positions. This battle lets them attack and control the magical beasts, allowing Kai and the others to increase their speed.

Kai fought like crazy, especially with his new Vibration Sword. He killed most of the magical beasts in a single slash because it cut them like butter.

Tasha let him alone after they killed around three hundred magical beasts as there was no need to worry about him anymore. The same applied to Yuki, Sanae, and Michelle. Those four might be the strongest in this platoon. It was proved even further when Nita, who protected Evan, claimed that she never saw Yuki fight that freely.

These four people combined into two groups. Kai and Michelle combined each other\'s strength and watched each other back. They had been fighting together before meeting Tasha. Even though Tasha fought with him the longest, it was undeniable that Michelle already knew Kai\'s habit from when they were still kids. As frustrated as she might, Tasha already recognized this fact. 

Yuki and Sanae also began to get their fighting style back. These two best friends had fought together for a few years anyway. After their group killed more than two hundred magical beasts, Shirotsuka Sanae became the personal support of Yuki. 

The sight was more insane than Kai and Michelle. Yuki charged every magical beast with her dual handed sword. However, she also incorporated her new fighting style. If they were facing three hundred magical beasts, she would fight them one on one three hundred times rather than taking all of them at the same time. This technique required a high-speed movement to prevent any magical beasts from stopping her. At the same time, she should also kill the enemy with a single hit; otherwise, the technique would be broken.

Sanae adjusted her style and kept staying behind her. When Yuki charged at one enemy, she would use her star knives to injure or even kill the enemies nearby, preventing any magical beasts from interfering. 

Yuki also did the same. Every time a magical beast managed to slip Sanae\'s defense, she would protect her. Even all of Yuki\'s teammates could only shake their heads as they had lost this battle. When Yuki was with them, she prioritized the team fight over the individual fight. Only at this time, she was acting individually and killed faster than she usually would.

In the end, her teammates only helped Ayaka and left these four alone. They took a third of the magical beasts while those four also killed the rest. 

Ayaka\'s movement and judgment also surprised them. They never thought that the fragile spear could crush the insects\' heads. Ayaka didn\'t tell the secret behind the spear, so they were not shocked too much. 

Yuki led the group while Kai gave the direction until they finally killed seven hundred magical beasts that Yuki ordered to rest for five minutes.

"Fu." Kai took a deep breath.

"Good work, Captain." Evan came to him and handed him a water bottle. As he couldn\'t help Kai in the front line, supporting and carrying the luggage was his main job this time.

"Thank you." Kai nodded, smiled, and took the bottle. He leaned on the wall and took a big gulp.

"Let me heal you." Evan nodded before healing two injuries on his hands. Looking at how many the magical beasts they fought, it was normal to have one or two injuries. For Kai, his injuries came from the big ant and another smaller ant.

He thought he could let the ant injury him as long as it would take a faster time for him to kill it. His injuries could be tended by Evan anyway, so he could be a bit reckless. 

After healing him, he went to Yuki and Sanae, who also got light injuries. 

Yuki came to him afterward. "Yo, how is it?"

"If you are asking about my injury, it\'s fine." Kai paused for a moment and said. "But if you are asking about our progress, we need to kill another three hundred to finish the mission. Seeing there are still more than four thousand magical beasts, we should be able to complete it." 

"Alright." Yuki nodded. This took slightly longer than they expected because of the complexity of this nest. They needed to go back and forth to clean them completely. "We should be able to finish in one to two hours… More than two hours early than we expected."

"You can\'t say that because the fewer they are, the harder we can find."

"True enough." Yuki nodded.
