The Magician of Sound

In the US Base, many people gathered in a huge plaza to watch the war that was happening in South Carolina.

They all witnessed what kind of destruction Neptune could cause with just a single wave of his staff. If the soldiers lost this battle, their homes would be destroyed.

Seeing this kind of scene made them worry and sympathetic at the same time. This was the battle that would decide humanity, yet the only thing they could do was stay in this safe zone, looking at how the soldiers sacrificed their lives in the front line.

However, they all saw humanity still had one hope to win the war when Kai Charter appeared on the battlefield. His power was equal to that of Neptune and he might be the only one who could defeat him.

Some of the young generations, older generations, or even veterans who had witnessed the brutality of war with magical beasts couldn't help but clench their fists.

"Why have I retired?" One of the veterans couldn't help but mutter. She turned around while walking with her rod supporting her body.. "I am going back to change. Even if I'm injured, I can still help with the medical team."

A young man saw the veteran and her body condition. This was a battle of death, the moment the soldiers lost, they couldn't keep their life too. Hence, instead of waiting and hoping for the soldiers to win, he decided it would be better to participate in the fight.

He also turned around and started walking back. He reached for his device and called someone. "Hello, Dad. I'm sorry, but I am thinking about protecting the country."

Starting from those two, more and more people overheard them and began to return. The battle was only a few hours away from them. Even if they needed to be late, it was better than never. They might die with a single wave of Neptune's staff, but the soldiers there sacrificed their lives just to kill one magical beast.

More and more people joined them until thirty percent of the people in the plaza left to fight.

Suddenly, the screen changed, surprising everyone because the one who appeared before their eyes was none other than President Brent.

"!!!" They all drew a gasp and looked at the screen.

President Brent was in front of the pers with a serious expression. "I am sure that everyone has witnessed the war in South Carolina. I won't take your time because I only want to say one thing to all of you. Please believe the soldiers fighting on the frontline. Pray for them so they can return triumph. Our fate is on their shoulders—"

Before he finished his words, the screen changed back to the war as if something had happened to the president.

Meanwhile, President Brent forcefully changed the screen again for Kai's request and it seemed he was right.

Brent squinted his eyes and stunned everyone because it was weird for him to stop talking.

However, a loud noise started echoing outside, coming closer every second.

"Everyone… Evacuate." President Brent pointed to the emergency exit on his right. "Now."

"!!!" Screams resounded in the entire hall while several soldiers formed a wall in front of the soldiers as if they had prepared for what happened.

"Mr. President." The soldier frowned and asked, "Let's return to the bunker."

"No." Brent stopped all of them and refused to move. "I still have one more mission as the leader of this country."

Bam.

The walls cracked and crushed as several red tentacles appeared inside the room.

After that, the tentacles broke apart the door and the wall, tearing them down.

He finally saw the real enemy hiding around him. It was a red octopus. The body reached was higher than the ceiling and the tentacle could loop around this room once.

"So, you have come…" Brent smiled and raised his head, finding the octopus destroyed the ceiling above him and lifted it up, so he could see Brent in the eyes.

"You're courageous for not running away." The red octopus glared at him and raised his tentacle, planning to slam it down. "I commend you for not fearing my existence. I shall grant you a swift death."

Brent had no change of expression and closed his eyes, recalling the meeting with Kai fifteen minutes ago.

They were sitting before each other with serious expressions because Kai had something to say.

"May I know what your plan is?"

"I would like you to give a speech."

"A speech?" Brent furrowed his eyebrows and realized his plan. "A bait!"

"Yes. There should be a spy hiding somewhere in this place. However, I couldn't find him and needed to go to the front line."

"The EU Base and United Asia have one, so this place should have a spy too. His target must be me because this will be my most vulnerable time. They want to destroy our morale by assassinating me." Brent nodded in understanding.

"Yes. However, the speech is also a way to encourage the people in this place."

"You mean…" Brent and Kai exchanged looks as they finally came to an understanding.

Recalling the conversation, Brent couldn't help but smile in the face of death.

"Octopus…" Brent called his opponent and said, "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to destroy our morale. Kai Carter is the true leader, not me."

The red octopus snorted. "Let's see what will happen after I kill you and bring your body around the city."

"You are not his match, your king is not his match." Brent chuckled.

"This is not funny, human. I shall kill you right now." The octopus harrumphed and waved his tentacle down.

Meanwhile, Brent muttered inwardly, "Kai Carter. You are right. Since he is coming after me, I should come to face him to lure him out. This is the last thing I can do for the people of this base, as this monster might terrorize us in the future.

"Besides, by making my speech here, the people can inspire many people who watch the battles. These two are his original intentions, so it's time for me to bring it to a close." Brent smiled and shouted to the octopus, "I will say one last thing, Octopus. Our Kai Carter is beyond your imagination, you shouldn't underestimate him."

"He couldn't find me."

"No. He has found you." Brent smiled.

Little did the octopus know, there were two face-shaped rocks on the other side of the room, hidden behind his own escape route.

Suddenly, the two stones started to expand and tore the ceiling apart, showing their tall golem bodies. The first golem caught the tentacle that almost hit Brent while the other leaped to the air and struck the octopus' head.

"Aghh!" The octopus screamed in pain as his body fell to the side because of the force.

Kai left these two with the president because they were the only ones who could protect the president's safety.

"I have one more thing to say to you. Our strength may be weak, but throughout history, we keep surviving from wild beasts or any threats in our surroundings. And this shall continue for eternity… We shall keep rising back again. This is Humanity!" Brent stated with conviction.

There was still one cameraman that rolled the camera because he had an order to sacrifice his life for this moment. And this sacrifice of his allowed him to get the greatest scene of the president.

And this scene was broadcasted to the entire world, resounding in the people's hearts.
