The Magician of Sound

A few days ago, Kai met him face to face, hoping to discuss a very important part that would lead to their victory.

"Are you serious?" Nathan narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. Before they come, I want you to spread the army as wide as possible to make them conscious about the west and south battlefield. At that time, both of your deputies will allow them to break through on my signal.

"General Jose will separate herself from General Ethan and hold them back while one of your deputies helped him in stalling them. The same applies to the one in the south. With these conditions, my Teacher will lead the reinforcement from Graham Family and hit them while I bring another few thousand to hit from the other side."

"This is very risky. You are aware that this is a double-edged sword, right? It might be able to catch them off guard, but this also means that they are able to hunt you down easier because you are coming to them yourself." Nathan glared at him, not very fond of him risking himself like this.

"I know that, but this is the only way to get a complete victory. The moment they shift their target to me, both you and Teacher can start pushing them back. There are three possibilities in this scenario."

"Three?"

"First, we can take down the protectors without any problems. In that case, we won't need to worry about anything and eliminate all the magical beasts. Second, the protectors are trying to escape, but I am sure that the magical beasts won't be able to penetrate our ranks if they don't have a protector leading them. Hence, there should be one or two coming to the two wings… At the very least, we can kill one more protector. That is already a good scenario.

"Third, I die before I can achieve anything. Though I don't really want it, so that's why I want all my group to assemble when the time comes."

"I see… So that's why you request all of those to the president?"

"Yes."

"…" Nathan closed his eyes for a few minutes and nodded. "Alright. I will go according to your plan. However, I will bail you out even if I need to sacrifice my life… So, make sure you come out alive."

"I understand. I won't let you die before seeing a great-grandchild." Kai smirked.

"Hehe… I have seen my great-grandchildren from Albert and Bryan… The only one left is coming from you." Nathan smiled and patted his shoulders. "I am counting on you."

…

On the current battlefield, Nathan opened his eyes as he took a deep breath.

'As expected from a prodigy.' Nathan looked at the turtle instead of the princess and felt the dangerous area from him.

The turtle looked back and saw the hesitation in his eyes. It came like a ray of hope in this hopeless situation as he planned to use that hesitation to counter him.

He looked at the mermaid and said, "Princess. There is still a way for you to win."

"What is it?"

"Since our purpose is to take him to our home, then there is one thing to do."

"…" The princess fell silent before turning to Kai. "I understand. I will use all my power to do this. Although it's a bit restricted, my opponents are not like yours."

"Hehe… This old man doesn't really relate to water, so I am good." The turtle assured her with a smile before looking at Nathan and Ria.

When she saw this, Ria glanced at Michael. "I think you should go around and help Kai."

"I understand." Michael didn't complain or question her as if he understood the real intention from those protectors. He immediately disappeared from the battlefield like a ghost.

Kai, on the other hand, kept pummeling the magical beasts, making his way toward the mermaid.

At the same time, a woman flew to the sky and floated above Kai.

"Scarlet Explosion!"

*Boom!*

"Ice Wall!"

The explosion blew away a few magical beasts while the ice wall made a space for them to descend.

"I have come."

"I am just fulfilling my task."

Kai smiled, looking at Ayaka and Sofia. "Yes. But before this, we still have a job to do. Reserve your power because we are going to need it."

The two nodded and followed him.

But when they were about to charge, a water elemental formed right in front of them. Although it wasn't as big as the one they saw in Miami, it still had five meters in height.

The mermaid stood tall on the shoulder of the elemental, looking down on them. "Since you have delivered yourself, come with me. You can be a protector yourself."

"Doesn't that mean I need to abandon them?" Kai stared at her without a change of expression.

"It's your honor to be a protector. Don't think about your worldly desire."

"Heh? You said it when you worry about that little dolphin?" Kai smiled, taunting her.

"You!" She gritted her teeth. Although she could imagine what happened to the dolphin and tried not to think about it, Kai really hit her hard with his words. "You barely have enough qualification to become one of us, don't overestimate yourself!"

"Heh?" Kai chuckled. If she was talking about qualifications, he knew that Mystic must be one of the qualifications. "I am too weak right now, but it doesn't mean I will be in the future. In fact, I might be able to beat you in one on one a few years from now."

"Young Man… I suggest you accept our invitation. If you agree to become one of the protectors, we shall not come to the land for hundreds of years. And if your women are threatened, we can help you in solving that problem by simply overpowering them." The turtle's voice resounded in his ears.

"In your words, I can't see the picture of me being with them, so there is no need for negotiation. There is also another option for me." Kai paused and smiled. "I can just lead a huge army and kill all magical beasts on land, sky, and water. I might not be able to do it in my lifetime, but there will be a time where the magical beasts will perish from…"

Suddenly, he stopped his words as if he got possessed.

"!!!" The turtle and the princess furrowed their eyebrows, thinking. 'He… Is he…'

Kai facepalmed as he laughed out loud, startling his allies and enemies.

"Kai?!"

"So, that's how it is." Kai shook his head helplessly. "The current civilization was built by magic power and the crystal that magical beasts have as the base. If there is no more of this, what will happen to the current civilization?

"The answer will be either collapse or change to another source. If it's the former, they will return to the starting point. If it's the latter, the Earth will become like the previous state. If this is what you mean by the Earth's cry, then I guess I have answered it, right?"

"What a clever young man, but unfortunately, you only understood ten percent of what you should understand. I somehow really want to bring you to my home right now and make you one of us." The turtle smiled while glancing at the turtle.

"Ten percent?" Kai widened his eyes.

"If you want to learn everything, you should consider coming to us. At that time, you might have a change of heart and think becoming a protector is the best thing you can do."

Kai hesitated for a second but still shook his head. "I won't become one of you. I will prove it by slaying her today."

"If you want to try, then come!" The mermaid snorted. She was impressed by Kai. Because the dolphin died, she needed to avenge him by turning Kai into one of them and have him serve her.

Kai looked at her and said, "Ayaka… You are going to help me as a Vanguard. Sofia will help with your magic and make sure to protect yourself. I doubt I can protect you from this point on."

"Hmph! Since you are going to take this path, don't blame me for killing those you love!" The mermaid raised her hands, raising both hands of the elementals before slamming them to the ground.

Meanwhile, Ria had arrived in front of the turtle. "I don't know what you are talking about, but I will need to help my student, you know."

"I have heard of your name. Even though we are living in the sea, we have witnessed your rise by slaying that toad. I respect you from the bottom of my heart. As much as I don't want to say this, but I want you to know that your power is not enough to get past me." The turtle smiled before introducing himself. "I am Juven. You can take pride if you can injure me no matter how small it is."

"Not only will I injure you, but I will also kill you." Ria Ross looked at him with confidence.

"You can try." The turtle raised his hand like a gentleman as if he looked down on her.

*Bang!*

A loud sound coming from another direction startled them as both glanced, finding many magical beasts flying.

"I hope you do not forget me," Nathan smirked as he also had arrived.

Ria Ross snorted at Nathan. "Just make sure you don't hold me back."

"Hehe… Respect me a little bit, will you?!"

"If you are worthy of my respect, that is." Ria Ross and Nathan exchanged looks and smiled before leaping toward the turtle at the same time.
