The Magician of Sound

Chapter 58 - Killing The Assassins

Because of the wound, Kai was forced to end the battle as soon as possible. Because of that, he immediately let out his wild instinct and jumped forward.

His opponents were a wind magician specialized in magic and a fire magician with a long sword. They had no particular display. They wore a black robe and a mask, so Kai could only see their hair color, which was brown and black, respectively.

"Kuroe, hold him back. I'll finish him with my magic," the wind assassin said to the fire assassin.

The fire assassin nodded and moved to the front, blocking Kai's way.

Kai simply swung both of his swords down, which was received with a sword. However, Kai immediately showed his prowess at this time.

"Kh!" The fire assassin suddenly fell to her knees when she received Kai's attack. 'What is this strength? How can he have this much power when he's injured like that?'

"Wind Bullet!" The wind assassin immediately changed her skill as soon as she saw her comrade suppressed by Kai. From a magic circle, a small whirlwind appeared before changing its form into a bullet. It then flew toward Kai.

Kai waved one of his swords and destroyed that Wind Bullet.

"Orya!" Because Kai took one of his swords from her, the fire assassin immediately raised once again.

"Sorry, I was careless. I never thought he would still have that much power."

"Just focus on delaying him, he'll die soon," the wind magician simply told.

"All right." The fire assassin charged once again with her sword. "Haaa!"

Kai clashed with her for so many rounds while the wind magician seemed to be preparing big magic to kill him. He wanted to stop her, but it was to no avail since the fire magician managed to hold him back, albeit barely.

Clang! Clang!

Their swords kept clashing as Kai slowly gained the upper hand in the fight. Kai knew he had to research some offensive magic. He previously had no need for this since he could easily call his sister or Ayaka.

Sadly, at a time like this, his sister was too busy and he wasn't that close to Ayaka. He just kept striking his sword against the assassin, trying to wound her as much as possible.

"Wind Tornado!"

"Blaze Powder."

The wind tornado made by the magician combined with the spark of fire from the flame magician. They fused and made a powerful flame tornado.

"Oscillation Shield." Kai used his sound shield to block this blazing tornado, but the force within it was so powerful that it managed to push him back to the wall, even with his strength.

On the contrary, the assassins were shocked.

"How can he hold the force from my Wind Tornado? I spent a minute just to compress my wind magic." The wind assassin snarled.

"Gah!" Despite her complaint, Kai spat a mouthful of blood. His face became a bit pale.

"Just keep using it." The flame assassin saw Kai spat out blood and knew it would be soon.

At the same time, the sniper that was standing a few hundred meters away shot another bullet. She even said, "Hehe… good job, you two, but I'll still be the one to get the kill."

Of course, this didn't escape Kai's ears. He let go of one of his swords and raised his hand to his nine o'clock.

"Oscillation Shield!"

The assassin was using a magic sniper with magic bullets. If this were on the battlefield, the sniper could take an A-rank magical beast down if the magical beast didn't protect itself. Even with Kai's Oscillation Shield, this bullet managed to pierce the barrier and his palm.

This wasn't because the Oscillation Shield was useless though. It was just because the bullet's speed was too fast, not giving enough time for his shield to reduce the piercing power of the bullet.

"Gh!" Kai endured the pain on his palm as he could see through the hole in his palm.

"That b*tch wanted to steal our kill! We need to kill him!" the fire magician shouted.

Her friend nodded and made another magic circle. She was trying to compress something.

Kai knew his situation wasn't good as he really needed to defeat these two assassins in front of him first. He flicked his finger.

"Lullaby!"

Ding—!

The high pitch sound echoed through everyone's ears in this battle. The magic circle broke, and Kai immediately released his Oscillation Shield as he rushed to the wind assassin with only one sword in his hand.

Because of the ringing in her ears, the flame assassin who was supposed to be the vanguard couldn't catch up to Kai's movements. It was the same for the wind assassin, as before she knew it, Kai already appeared in front of her.

Kai used a flashbang as the model of this magic, but just without the blindness. Of course, he toned it down a little bit just enough to not heavily injure the people beside him, specifically his comrade. However, making his enemies lose focus in a second or so was already good enough for him as he could do this.

Kai swung his sword right at her neck and sent her head flying. It was a swift and ruthless strike as blood had yet to spurt in almost a second. After the blood spurt from her body, Kai was immediately rained down by her blood.

The flame magician, who realized that her comrade was killed, was immediately infuriated. These two were special. Other assassins might not care that much about their comrades, but these two were friends, and to see her friend die because of her carelessness… she immediately swung her sword toward him with rage.

"Die!"

Sadly, if emotions alone could defeat strength, Kai wouldn't be able to defeat Ayaka or the others.

Bam!

He put all of his strength on this swing. The clash was brief as he finally locked her down again, just like the previous situation. Kai wanted to pin her down to the ground, but he noticed something.

"!!!" He suddenly heard the sound of a gun muzzle a few hundred meters away from him. He knew it was from the sniper and she would shoot anytime soon.

Kai suddenly released his sword and let her win in this exchange. He then moved to the side to avoid her sword.

Bam!

It sounded like a blast explosion in his ears even though the sniper already used a silencer.

The assassin wanted to swing again, but Kai grabbed her wrist. He shifted his body and changed his center of gravity before throwing her into the air.

"Wh-!"

In an instant, he could see a hole in her head. The bullet pierced her skull and landed on the ground.

Kai spat another mouthful of blood as his feet were already so weak, and his face became white. Even so, Kai released the last surge of energy he had and threw his sword before he made a few more steps and hid behind a house to hide from the sniper.

Meanwhile, on Shirotsuka Sanae's side.

They also started fighting when Kai and the two assassins began. Shirotsuka Sanae immediately threw her star knives toward the five assassins.

Her opponent had three vanguards and two supports. Sanae immediately targeted the support first, as they would be annoying.

Two of the vanguards immediately appeared beside the supports and knocked her star knives away with their daggers.

Shirotsuka Sanae only clasped her hand as magic circles appeared on her star knives. The magic circles gave her star knives a boost to strike the assassins again.

"!!!"

Despite being caught off-guard by that for a moment, the assassins immediately reacted and knocked the star knives away once again.

The last vanguard, who seemed to be the leader of this group, finally opened her mouth again. "You two protect them as I handle this woman by myself. When there's a chance, kill her with the skill."

The assassin leader was using brass knuckles. Her warrior aura spiked as killing intent started emanating from her eyes. Her knuckles were suddenly covered with fire as she rushed forward.

Shirotsuka Sanae kept channeling her magic to the strings that were attached to her star knives and made her star knives continuously attack the assassins.

As for the person in front of her, the moment she charged at her and threw a fist, Shirotsuka Sanae did the same and covered her fists with the wind.

She threw a fist against the assassin's fist. Just before their fists collided, the wind immediately scattered the flame, and both of their fists clashed.

However, the assassin leader had the advantage because of her knuckles. The spikes on her knuckle immediately pierced Shirotsuka Sanae's hand. She smirked as she thought this woman was foolish because she challenged her knuckle with her bare fist.

Sadly, contrary to her expectation, Shirotsuka Sanae didn't scream at all. Even with blood flowing from her fist, her expression remained unchanged.

When the assassin thought Sanae would pull back her fist while screaming, Shirotsuka Sanae did something she truly didn't expect.

A magic circle appeared on her back as the magic circle channeled a very strong torrential wind. The wind then moved toward her fist and boosted her power.

Enduring the pain in her fist, Shirotsuka Sanae let out everything from her body to her fist and pushed that fist back.

"!!!" The assassin was surprised she got pushed back in this situation, and when she noticed the surge of that wind that was capable of increasing Shirotsuka Sanae's power, she muttered in realization, "Not good!"

Shirotsuka Sanae used that wind to push her fist forward and blew the assassin's hand away. She didn't stop there as she pushed her fist once more and struck the assassin right on the face.
