The Magician Of Sound

Chapter 233 - Fighting The Failed Zodiac

"Attack!" As soon as the signal was out, Kai and the others turned serious.

They followed the movement of the soldiers before glancing at Kai.

"I will be leading you inside the town and use the soldiers as our camouflage. Our enemy will escape after this, so I will use that to discern their movement and other things, confirming whether that place has our target or not." Kai announced and didn't forget to give another job to Sofia. "You are going to see whether the so-called blaze moves to another direction or not."

"Understood." Sofia nodded, locking her eyes on the target.

Meanwhile, Tasha asked. "Are you going to use my teleportation magic?"

"That's the plan. We will use it to get closer, and I will start from there."

"Alright."

As for Michelle, she seemed to want to do something from her looks alone. She sighed. "I want to try something, but I don't know whether it will be useful or not."

"You can do that. I trust your judgment." Kai nodded.

Kai glanced at Tasha and Sofia for a moment before shaking his head. He thought, 'As much as I want to get my magic power back, I can't do it as of now because Sofia is with us now. I still don't know whether it's alright to expose this secret as well… If I can, I might already trap their leader using my Sound Insulation Room to prevent him from informing the other magical beasts.

'Besides, I can't even order the soldiers this way… I am afraid it will be harder than the usual mission.' Kai thought for a moment and said, "Get ready. We are going to move in a minute. Make sure you are prepared for the attacks from magical beasts."

The group nodded while Evan asked. "What is my role now?"

"You want to see your combat progress, right? Since the combat of this guy is quite big, you won't join the fight for now. You can target the magical beasts if you want though." Kai shook his head. He couldn't let Evan fight because he still needed to be polished even more before becoming a decent fighter.

"I understand." Evan didn't take it to his heart because he knew his strength the best.

"Ayaka… I have a secret mission for you later." Kai whispered something to her, not letting the others know.

Ayaka thought for a moment and nodded. "I will do it."

"Good."

Kai then signaled Tasha to start and pointed his finger at a certain building.

"Teleportation!" The pink magic circle glowed, sending them toward the roof of that specific building.

"He has begun moving." Kai and Sofia shouted at the same time before their eyes intertwined, noticing that they were focusing on the same person.

"Follow me." Kai nodded as they started jumping on top of the roof, following their target. Not long after, Kai decided to jump inside a dark alley and continued their way behind the building.

One minute later, they spotted a single person running through from building to building, scattering either window or wall to let him through. Just like how the information described her, she indeed had the mouth of a seahorse. Other than that, he couldn't see any change in particular, except her body that was covered with her clothes.

There was a different intake of sound in that particular area, so he thought her body must have turned into that of a seahorse. He signaled the others to set up an ambush.

This was the usual thing they did in every mission unless they had special instruction. Kai and Michelle would stop the enemy from the front while Tasha would support them with their bow. Ayaka would wait until the person lowered her guard before dealing a decisive blow.

However, Sofia didn't know her role in this battle, so she looked at Kai with a confused expression.

"Ask Ayaka to learn about your role." Kai shrugged.

"So, she is going with me and set up an ambush strike?" Ayaka asked for a confirmation.

"Yes."

"Sure." Ayaka nodded and began explaining what she usually did in a mission. Sofia listened to her attentively, not wanting to make a mistake.

"Let's go!" Kai tugged Michelle's arm as he changed his direction and created two magic circles in front of them.

This was Kai's Sound Blast. Due to this new skill, Michelle and the others had played along, testing every single combination they could use with this skill. And it turned out that Kai's Sound Blast was more versatile than he thought to be.

Kai and Michelle stepped on those magic circles and launched themselves toward the failed zodiac.

"!!!" On the other hand, the zodiac seemed to have noticed their presence as she immediately summoned a water wall out of nowhere.

Kai would surely not take any risk if he didn't notice this and would simply go around this wall to hit them. However, the thought never appeared again the moment Michelle could control her shadow even more freely.

Michelle only nodded to him as she created a ball of darkness that soon transformed into a plate, covering their front like a car's windshield.

Kai didn't stop her because he knew they would go through this water wall without much problem. And he would need to do his job right after.

*Splash!*

The water was stopped by this shadow. The zodiac was taken aback at first before reacting to it by sending her arm to destroy this shield.

If Kai were not here, Michelle wouldn't be able to react to this because the shield was too dark for her to see. Fortunately, Kai's ears could hear every single movement without the need to see it.

*Slash!*

A sword suddenly appeared, slashing through this black shield and hit the woman's hand. Moreover, he had even activated his Vibration Sword. Without any protection around her hand, the sword chopped and sent it flying.

At the same time, Kai sent another strike toward her stomach to split her into two. Despite having the strategy, he wouldn't care about the process if he could finish the battle sooner. Hence, he dared to attack this woman without giving his teammate a chance.

*Roar!* The woman screamed before the water particles in the air gathered around her stomach and dampened the attack from his Vibration Sword. Just like how he expected, the woman used her evolved stomach to withstand this attack and took advantage of the force behind it to blow her away.

However, Kai noticed that the roar seemed to be a calling roar instead of a struggling roar. The fact that many magical beasts suddenly turned their way and headed toward them reinforced his belief.

As for the zodiac, she continued flying as far as possible to get a good distance with Kai before continuing her escape.

It was at this time, Ayaka activated her magic.

A huge magic circle appeared behind her, creating a net of fire.

The woman realized it would burn her if she were trapped there. That was why she turned around and pointed her hand toward releasing a bolt of water to suppress this fire net.

Ayaka smiled on top of the building as she muttered. "It will succeed… That is if I don't have someone beside me."

Sofia beside her nodded and created another magic circle, not far from the fire net. The moment the water flew on top of it, the magic circle glowed and froze the water flying above it. Of course, Ayaka's Fire Net might get influenced a bit because of the temperature, but it was still strong enough to burn her.

*Roar Roar!* This time, she screamed in pain. The fire net caught her and burned a portion of her front, except her body area. She gritted her teeth and sent another blast of water, pulverizing the fire in an instant.

At this time, Tasha released her Lightning Piercer with three arrows almost at the same time. Just like how the others had improved, she also made some upgrades to her technique. This Lightning Piercer that she could only use one time was upgraded to a three-times use.

She released these arrows in succession, so they could go to one spot.

The zodiac couldn't dodge this because she just freed herself from Ayaka's Fire Net. Water started creating another wall to stop this attack as this might be the only way to stop them.

Unfortunately, Michelle didn't let her do so. She swung her swords simultaneously.

"Shadow Slash!"

These two dark crescent-shaped slashes ran through the ground, making their way toward the zodiac.

"!!!" She noticed the incoming attacks from behind and turned her body around, creating another wall of water. The reason Michelle and Kai could break through her wall before was that she didn't reinforce it.

Now that she had prepared everything and activated all of her magic power, she reinforced the wall to ensure that nothing would pierce through it.

At this time, Sofia created another move and froze both water walls, but to no avail. Just like how the freezing didn't affect the water elemental, the zodiac immediately reinforced the frozen wall with another layer of water. This way, it would just make it even thicker.

"Tch." Sofia clicked her tongue after seeing the disgusting magic again. She had experienced it with Eru, so the hate had gone through her bones.

Unbeknownst to all of them, Kai and Michelle already jumped in two different directions with the Sound Blast again.

With her hands occupied with the two walls, it would mean that both her front and back were unprotected. Michelle came from the front, facing the zodiac from head-on.

She made sure that none of her efforts could make her turn around to stop Kai's attack.

Kai only smiled at this and stabbed her heart from the back.

When everyone thought she was finished, she looked at the bloodied blade and roared, using all her magic power to create a powerful water blast to her surroundings.

"!!!"
