The Magician of Sound

"Not good." Kai instantly ran as fast as he could. However, the dilemma struck his heart as he couldn't choose whether to go to Evan or to stop the group of beasts coming toward Evan's position.

He had been checking Evan this whole time, and he could listen to how he kept shooting his gun while running.

Many fast monsters had caught up with him and attacked him. Injured, Evan kept killing them, albeit it had turned into a burden since it made him pour too much magic power to his wound and new power.

"Six minutes. If I can't handle the leader coming here in six minutes, I will immediately go to Evan and help him." Kai gritted his teeth and used his Sound Blast to speed up, going toward the new group within ten seconds.

He stopped in front of them while holding his two swords. His heart suddenly started beating crazily as if it had something to say to him. At the same time, three beasts seemed to look more menacing than the others as he realized that the leaders of this group were not one but three. "Seriously?"

Getting surprises after surprises, Kai couldn't stop himself from saying "Seriously" during this mission.

The first monster was a deer. It had a pair of big horns that looked very hard. It might be able to destroy a rock or take down a tree if it got rammed by the deer. When it saw Kai, the deer immediately looked up as a torrential wind appeared above its head.

The second beast was a cougar, but the color and pattern made it look like a tiger. However, the one that caught his eyes was the lightning that sparked around his feet.

Last but not least, he needed to confront an intelligent orange flamingo. If he wasn't wrong, back before the apocalypse, it was called Chilean Flamingo. It suddenly stretched its wing as it summoned four fireballs on its sides.

As he was about to think of retreating by using the flare that Evan brought, the other monsters immediately went around him separately, trying to slip past him to attack Evan.

"No, you won't!" Kai gritted his teeth and used his Sound Blast to leap toward his right, trying to kill them first.

However, the cougar didn't let him as it used its power to arrive before him within a second. Its speed wasn't losing to Kai at all.

Kai used his Oscillation Shield and stopped the advance for a second to kill a beast. It was at this time the other two made their move.

The deer sent a wind tornado toward him as the flamingo infused its fireball into this wind, creating a powerful fire tornado.

"Sound—" Kai stopped and immediately changed his magic. "Oscillation Shield."

Kai almost forgot the fact that his Sound Blast couldn't fight a wind element magic. The fact that sound needs medium to travel would surely not be effective against the wind that could disrupt the flow of air easily.

Because of that, he chose to use something concise and didn't travel long. Unfortunately, the time he needed to change his magic made him unable to use the full potential of Oscillation Shield, allowing the fire tornado to blow him away as soon as it hit.

The tornado didn't harm him in any way because it only struck his shield, but like someone using a shield, if the user couldn't handle the force, it would blow them away.

And Kai experienced this as he got blown away for twenty meters. To his surprise, he lost track of the cougar for a second before noticing it was coming toward his back using that lightning speed.

"Tch." Kai spun his body and waved his sword toward the cougar, trying to kill it by a surprise attack.

The cougar saw this first and changed its direction, heading straight toward his feet instead.

"Sound Blast." This time, he finally used his Sound Blast to create enough power to spread his legs wide, allowing the cougar to pass the gap.

When its head passed, Kai closed the gap, clutching its neck with his feet before spinning and launching him to the ground.

The flamingo flew to the sky and created a massive fireball, dropping it right above Kai and the cougar.

Meanwhile, the deer made a barrier of wind that trapped him inside a certain area to make sure that he couldn't escape that massive fireball.

Knowing he had no choice other than to go up, Kai raised his hand and snapped his finger.

"Lullaby."

*Ding!*

A high-pitched bell rang in their ears as both flamingo and deer lost control of their magic.

Obviously, the barrier and the fireball disappeared within a second. Kai took that chance to slash the cougar's head before it could have the chance to disrupt him again, killing it.

Noticing how Kai made such a disruptive move, they immediately got closer to him, afraid that their magic would give him enough time to cast that move again.

This was what Kai actually wanted.

The moment the two came close enough, he used his Sound Blast to launch himself to one of them.

His target was the easiest one to kill, the flamingo. Unlike the deer's hard horn, this flamingo shouldn't have any body parts that could stop his Vibration Sword. At the same time, the flame couldn't stop his Sound Wave.

But to his surprise, the flamingo didn't move and look at Kai with a fierce expression.

Because it was situated in the sky, it might think it had an advantage, but Kai used his Sound Blast to launch him and maneuver in the sky, so that advantage was basically non-existent.

To his surprise, the flamingo suddenly covered its body in fire and flew toward Kai instead as if it wanted to get burned alive with him.

"Maniac!" Kai gritted his teeth and used his Sound Blast to launch the flamingo back to the sky while blowing a bit of its fire.

Due to this, the deer's wind magic caught up with him as it created a very dangerous ball filled with torrential wind. It felt like it would rip him the moment it hit, so Kai used Oscillation Shield to protect himself, albeit he got blown away once more.

"Annoying. They are trying to commit suicide in every single way, making it hard for me to follow their movement because I don't know whether they wanted to attack me or the other beasts or even their attacks to boost it even further." Kai clicked his tongue, using the time he got knocked back to think.

"I guess I can't really finish this soon without making a sacrifice." Kai took a deep breath and leaped toward the deer this time.

When it saw him coming, it erected a wind barrier to protect itself.

"I will rip that apart," Kai shouted as he waved his sword. But a moment later, he realized that he was trapped inside a wind barrier too.

The sound of the flamingo coming from behind alarmed him even further as he snapped his finger again to disrupt the flow of the wind and the flamingo.

Using this chance, he turned around and waited for the flamingo that couldn't stop due to its momentum and planned to strike it down in a single slash.

However, excruciating pain jolted his brain as the wind that should have dispersed earlier actually hit him.

'What?' Kai instantly realized what just happened. When he used the Lullaby to break their concentration, the deer reinforced its own barrier to making sure no sound wave was coming toward him. Even if a portion of it came, it wouldn't affect its performance at all.

It then tricked Kai into believing he failed to control the barrier, but it was not true at all. The wind dispersed, but it formed again right behind his back and hit him.

Even with his hearing, it was hard to spot it because the earlier outburst of wind camouflaged it. And that force that hit him was like a truck hit him on his back. If it wasn't because of his exoskeleton, his skin might be ripped apart from that force alone, allowing one to see his flesh.

Unfortunately, it didn't stop here. The force contained from the wind was also enough to launch him in the flamingo's direction that kept charging at him with that fire body.

Knowing that he needed to finish this as soon as possible, he clenched his teeth to prepare for the pain as he used his elbow instead to stop the flamingo before dropping his sword and using the same hand to grab the flamingo.

"I finally got you!" Kai smirked as he slashed the flamingo into two.

He immediately released it too and checked the burn mark in his hand. If not because he knew Evan was able to heal a wound like this, he might choose to fight in a different way.

He simply needed to rush toward Evan. The moment he killed the flamingo, he didn't go back to the deer. Instead, he ran toward Evan's direction, leaving the deer alone.

Without thinking, the deer immediately charged at him with all his might, but it was at this time Kai used his Sound Blast to launch himself back, heading toward the deer.

Because of their speed, the deer shouldn't be able to respond with any magic, so this was the perfect chance for him.

He slashed his sword with all his strength.

The deer also had its pride on its horns as it lowered its head to block Kai's sword.

To everyone's surprise, Kai suddenly found himself spinning as it was clear that he was losing in terms of momentum and power.

But it was fine, everything was within his prediction. He used that spinning force to slash the deer's neck with his other sword.
