The Magician of Sound

"You've come." Ikeda Kenzo smiled when he found Kai and the others.

"…" Kai narrowed his eyes and said, "Even if you are acting because of an order, I need all of you to die here."

"Ho. You talk big. Is this because you are famous in the US Base?" Ikeda Kenzo's expression turned serious as he disappeared.

It turned out that he used his fastest speed to leap toward Kai while swiping his hand that was covered in white light.

Kai only stared at him without a change in his expression as if he had expected this attack. At the same time, a scythe went around his neck before hitting Ikeda Kenzo's hand.

Dark Michelle came between them while swinging her scythes.

Kenzo stopped all of them with his hands. Due to the light covering them, Dark Michelle couldn't pierce his hands, but at least, she had fulfilled the requirement.

Meanwhile, the real Michelle, covered in black tattoos, was already next to Kenzo, swinging her sword.

A white light fluctuated from his body as it formed a shield, blocking Michelle's sword.

However, Michelle's strength had been boosted by the exoskeleton. It was enough to blow him away in that unstable form.

Boom.

Ikeda Kenzo crashed to the ground as the two Michelles landed not far from him.

Before he could rise from the ground, Tasha had released her arrow, creating a big magic circle in the air.

A bolt of blue lightning struck forth.

Kenzo raised his hand as he summoned a white magic circle. A white ball emerged from it as it flew toward the lightning, leaving a white trail behind that made it look like he shot a beam instead.

The ball hit the lightning directly as they pulverized each other.

"Your opponents are us," said Michelle while staring at Ikeda Kenzo coldly.

"Really?" Kenzo smirked as his body released white light from his body. The second round was going to start soon.

Meanwhile, Kai and Ayaka already appeared in the middle of their enemies.

"Do you think you are capable of defeating all one hundred of us?" One of them shouted while shooting a flare signal, so they all could gather. "We will show you what it means to be the elites from the Katsuragi Family."

"Attack him! As long as we kill him, our mission is complete."

Suddenly, three magic circles appeared above their heads.

Kai and Ayaka raised their visions as a bolt of lightning, a fire pillar, and an ice cube fell right above them.

Ayaka clapped her hand and summoned her own magic circle.

"Scarlet Explosion."

Since the magic circle was above their heads, it engulfed all three attacks at once.

Still, the enemies were better than this as twenty of them used their own magic to attack him while Ayaka was disturbed by the first three attacks. At the same time, another twenty were trying to close their distance to him.

Kai analyzed their magic before activating his Sonic Sword. He took a deep breath and swung the sword as quickly as possible. The burst from the shock wave deflected all the magic that came to him.

Luckily, Ayaka had regained her control back and created another magic circle toward the enemies coming from the right side. "Fire Net."

She chose Fire Net to slow down the enemies while Kai dealt with the rest.

Unknown to them, they made one miscalculation. Isabelle had been waiting for them to do this and released her bullets toward the left side. Because of her position, the moment the bullets pierced their first target's head, it continued toward the second person and so on.

"What?! Where is the sniper?" The assassins from the Katsuragi Family panicked for a second and shouted. Because Ikeda Kenzo didn't say anything about the bullets, only the snipers seemed to have noticed it and were desperately searching for Isabelle's position to kill her.

"We are searching this entire time." One of the snipers shouted in anger.

"Half of the snipers are to assist us while the rest search for their—Aaaahhhh!"

Kai didn't let him finish because he was part of the vanguard, so he killed him first before focusing on the others.

Still, the order was received and the snipers shot him simultaneously.

Kai simply tilted his body to the right as both bullets missed. Isabelle then released another two bullets, killing the snipers that targeted Kai.

"Gah!"

"There! The sniper is at our two!" One of the snipers shouted and slightly changed her vision to kill Isabelle.

But Kai used this chance to break through their formation by killing another two people in front of him and went straight toward the snipers, leaving Ayaka behind.

"He is coming! Surround him!"

"We need reinforcement."

"No! Half of us are going to stop him. Ten of you will kill that Kudo Ayaka while the other twenty are to go around them and kill the sniper. She has a bodyguard next to her, so be careful!"

The battle turned chaotic pretty soon as Kai halted his steps after being surrounded. Meanwhile, Ayaka took a deep breath and looked at the enemies, preparing for another breakthrough to help Kai.

The assassins seemed to have enough confidence that everything would go according to their way. It was true that humans were capable of high-level movement and strategy unlike the magical beasts and this battle looked like he challenged a hundred intelligent beasts at once, but they forgot… Their target was none other than the rising star, Kai Carter.

Kai snapped his finger and created a disturbing sound that took away their concentration for a split second. He used that chance to kill another two people.

"Argh!"

"Are you sure it's a good strategy to separate your force? Isn't your target me? I am here, so kill me!" Kai smirked evilly as he laughed to taunt them.

The people that attacked Ayaka hesitated for a second, wondering if they should help them instead. Just like Kai, she didn't miss that chance and shot a few firebirds toward them, bombarding Kai's area.

At the same time, Haruko took the same hesitation as an opportunity to make her first move. She had appeared behind the group that was going to attack Isabelle and slashed two necks with her short swords.

Isabelle also took another two lives to help Haruko.

"Focus on your task!" Someone seemed to be frustrated by this result. Due to Kai's reputation, his presence was very huge in this battle, making them hesitate every time. However, only some understood that Kai was nothing more than the biggest bait their enemies threw at them.

To think they would use their target to be the bait, they were either confident or foolish. But with them knowing Kai's battles, they knew that Kai thought he could last for a long time under the onslaught.

Haruko smiled and released a burst of wind that wounded her enemies. That wind was not an ordinary wind. It was the result of her training with Mia, a sharp wind.

She took a Wind Blade as a reference. It could create a crescent-shaped blade of wind that could slash one's neck, but Haruko decided to make it explode as soon as it appeared, creating a powerful wind that carried its sharpness.

This was a perfect move to take their attention as well as lowering their abilities. Without a doubt, the battle would become easier for her.

Kai, on the other hand, focused on his enemies instead. Due to the space between them, they came at him, five at a time.

Kai waved his swords and blasted three weapons that came his way before dodging the fourth one. Unfortunately, his back was hit by a sword. Although it was too shallow for a wound, a hit was a hit.

Kai clenched his teeth and spun his body, using the Shock Wave from his sound wave to blow them away. After that, he used his Sound Blast to launch himself to another side, cutting another two heads.

"We can hit him!" The one that grazed Kai shouted. "No matter how good he is, he doesn't have enough strength to kill fifty elites at the same time."

Kai narrowed his eyes and changed his strategy. He relied heavily on the Sound Blast to toy with them.

However, some of them could contain his speed and tried their best to stop him, but Kai kept killing them one by one despite being injured from time to time.

'This is truly hard. Even the almighty S Rank Magical Beast can be killed under the onslaught of so many people, so I guess this is my condition right now?' Kai recalled the time when the Brazilian Wandering Spider was surrounded by them.

Unlike the spider, he still managed to kill some of them, so it was better. If only he had the ability to kill multiple enemies at once, this battle would become easier. 'Never mind. As soon as Ayaka or someone else finishes their job, the situation will change. I only need to endure it for now.'
