The Magician of Sound

"Now, I will let you see what it means to anger me." Ria smirked evilly while releasing her killing intent.

On the other hand, Kai glimpsed of her expression and nodded his head, knowing there was no need to worry about her again. He then turned to the two enemies in front of him and realized that all soldiers had gone inside the next tunnel.

Ria glanced at him once, and Kai knew it was the time to move as he disappeared from the spot. 

"!!!" It took an instant for the Ra to understand Kai's aim and shouted to Eric. "Go to the next tunnel and kill all those soldiers."

Eric immediately turned around and saw many magical beasts moving toward the tunnel behind them. They swarmed that small tunnel completely, but a flash of light appeared in the middle of the swarm, and a small shock wave occurred.

Many insect parts were blasted and scattered as a small figure appeared from that swarm, holding his two swords and looking down on Eric.

"SSS rank magical beasts… SS rank magical beasts… What do you think makes you more dangerous?" Ria gazed coldly. "Your power might not necessarily be the same as an S rank magical beast. We have given you credit because you can move the magical beasts at will, not your power. Let this be a day for the human to welcome their new hero as it kills both SS rank and SSS rank magical beasts!"

"You are talking big!" Eric roared. 

"Eric!" Ra shook his head. "Go kill that brat for me. They are student and teacher, right? We can make her realize the pain of losing her precious student. I shall let her know the true terror!" 

"Unfortunately, you are not necessarily qualified to make me experience that terror." Ria snorted. "Your previous plan was quite good if I didn't have a disciple. In fact, you should strike me at that time rather than giving me more despair. This time, my student and I will bring you down together with the other magical beasts."

There were still many magical beasts around him after killing the seven around the tunnel's entrance. Kai took a deep breath as he looked at the magical beasts that were trying to stumble onto the corpses but still charging at him.

Kai leaped to a few of them and slashed them with his Vibration Sword.

Suddenly, a shadow moved toward him at a fast speed as it rammed Kai with its claw. He created a magic circle on his arms and slightly positioned himself to take this attack.

From his right side, Eric appeared right in front of him, slamming his giant bear paw only to find it blocked by a measly green magic circle. 

Feeling he couldn't shatter this little magic circle as if something was repelling his claw, he decided to push him to the wall.

*Bam!*

Kai had no change in expression even though he was in a dire situation. Instead, he simply waved his swords toward this paw, except it suddenly turned around when the other paw was coming.

"!!!" Eric noticed that the first movement was a fake while Kai's real aim was his right hand. Even so, he wasn't scared, believing his claws were stronger than these two swords since he didn't know about Kai's Vibration Sword. 

Unfortunately, this lack of knowledge haunted him right at this moment.

*Clang!* 

As expected from a magical beast's claw, the moment he slashed it, he could still feel the resistance. Yet, his Vibration was still far stronger than these claws as it cut the claws as if cutting nails with a nail clipper. The fearsome paw suddenly turned into something cute and hilarious.

Kai struck the paw with his second sword, sending the paw flying.

The slash was too fast as the blood even took another second before it realized and spurted out of his hand. The sword continued onward, planning to take the other paw.

Eric realized all of this and leaped backward before clutching his right hand. 

"Ah… Ah!" He screamed on top of his lung as the pain didn't only come from the wound but also from what he could see. Sometimes knowing there was such a wound itself made a person more conscious about it, resulting in the wound to feel more painful, and this was what EC experienced right now.

"Nice Kai!" Ria smirked. Eric might not notice it, but he had stepped on a landmine. Beneath his feet was the white line Ria made earlier. She quickly slashed that particular line and sent a white shock wave toward Eric. 

"Tch!"

Ra suddenly appeared in front of the screaming Eric and raised both of his hands together, receiving this sword wave in Eric's stead. "Kh!" 

At the same time, Kai also leaped toward these two, planning to kill either of them. However, Ra suddenly used his tail and grabbed Eric before throwing him to the side. 

Seeing this action, Kai knew that it was better to strike a powerful blow on this seahorse first before going to the screaming Eric.

Suddenly, Ra swept his tail once again, sending blue crescent-shaped water. Kai opened his mouth slightly after learning about the state of this attack. It was still in a liquid state like earlier but forced to cut him. Water was one of the things he couldn't cut even with a Vibration Sword. Hence, he raised his hand and created a huge green magic circle to protect himself.

*Bang!*

The loud crashing sound echoed through the entire room as Kai's shield had a huge crack on it. Luckily, it was still able to hold on as he proceeded toward the seahorse. He slashed his right sword toward the tail to cut this dangerous part to lessen the burden of his teacher.

At the same time, Ria also appeared right in front of Ra and slashed both of her swords toward his neck. Although her sword couldn't penetrate his skin, she still needed to take away a portion of its attention, so Kai could deliver his attack. After all, he might be the only one that could pierce through Ra's defense. 

Unfortunately, Ra was still one step ahead. A water bubble appeared beneath his feet before it burst out, creating torrential water upward. The water struck Ria's and Kai's swords at the tip of its blade, causing both of them overwhelmed by the centrifugal force.

Not able to hold their swords from such a force, their swords flew upward despite all the efforts they spent from holding the swords.

Kai and Ria quickly leaped backward, ready for any other attacks. Noticing there wasn't a single attack, Kai pulled out the spear on his back and spun his body mid-air, throwing the spear toward Eric. Like teacher like student, Ria also had the same thinking and threw a spear that she just synthesized.

Ra gritted his teeth and appeared in front of Eric before creating the water wall to isolate them in the corner. 

"!!!" The student and teacher duo also regrouped as they stared at the wall made of water. Kai glanced at her, asking what to do with a single gaze. On the other hand, Ria simply pointed at his sword and made a horizontal gesture with his thumb in front of her neck, telling him to kill those two with his Vibration Swords.

After that, Ria created chains and a sickle before throwing it to grab Kai's sword that was stuck on the ceiling. "Your sword."

At the same time, Ra hit Eric's head with anger. "You fool. Can't you stand that simple pain? You would die in that instant if I didn't block their attacks. Besides, you need to stop underestimating your opponents just because you gain strength. You don't even use your magic! Argh! You are making me frustrated."

Eric's body shook for a moment before regaining a little bit of composure. He was just planning to hold him back by pinning him on the wall to let the magical beasts go inside the tunnel and attack the soldiers from behind. Unfortunately, that single plan ruined his hand completely.

"I… I'm sorry." Eric's body was still shaking, but he didn't scream anymore as he began enduring the pain. Whether it was the potential to become a Protector or simply Ra that scared him, Eric's mindset changed.

"Make artificial paws with your magic," Ra ordered with a cold tone.

He channeled his magic power to his hand and created a blue artificial paw. The paw was made of magic, while the other hand also made such a paw in front of the current one. Although it was slightly longer than his usual hands, he should be able to control it normally.

Noticing Eric had regained his calm, Ra waved his hand. 

The water wall slowly dissipated as if there was no water from the beginning. Even the ground wasn't wet. Ra and Eric slowly walked toward Kai and Ria with fierce eyes. 

Ra said with a harrumph. "You may have gotten the first advantage. However, everything will stop here since I have understood your weakness."

Kai furrowed his eyebrows as Ra was looking at him the whole time. 

"That sword might be dangerous, but it can't cut something that doesn't have a hardness." Ra figured this out when Kai decided to use his Oscillation Shield. With such a weakness, Kai would be sliced by that water wave if he decided to slash it. This was the reason why he ordered Eric to form two artificial magic arms on both hands.

Although it had some hardness, as long as Eric was careful to not let Kai reach his hand, he could regenerate that arms again and again until Kai was defeated. 

Eric suddenly jumped toward Kai and struck him with the magic paw.
