The Magician of Sound

"This is certainly not enough." Kerza had shown his overwhelming prowess.

Kai quickly rose to his knees as he glared at Kerza. 'He is different from any opponents I have faced so far. Luckily, I managed to get two of his tentacles, leaving only four as his hands and two as his feet. If not, we would be in big trouble.

'What should I do? His strength can neutralize my strength. Sofia and Roselyn seem to be experiencing the same thing.' Kai narrowed his eyes while trying to come up with a plan. 'Whatever, I need to buy time first. I don't want to let him run rampant in this base and everything may proceed smoother if we get Arnaud and Jules' help since they're the closest to us.'

Kai came at Kerza again with his Sonokinetic Blade, only to find Kerza blocking it with equal strength.

They continued to fight for another ten minutes as Kai tried all the combinations of his attacks coupled with Sofia and Roselyn. However, none of them seemed to be working because Kerza had been blowing or shattering their attacks one by one.

They realized Kerza was far more dangerous than the two they fought in Latvia combined. Although he hadn't seen the real power of those people from Emulda Kalan, he believed Kerza's strength was close to that of Arba. If they needed to fight on land, Arba would win, but Kerza would have the advantage if they fought in the water.

That was why Kai kept thinking about all possibilities he would create after coming to a certain decision in this battle.

Unfortunately for him, the conclusion came so suddenly.

"I have enough!" Kerza snorted and appeared in front of Kai, sending his fist right to his face.

Kai managed to raise his swords to block it, but the force blew him away.

Bam!

"Gah!" Kai spat a mouthful of blood as he crashed to the wall. The situation had become dire as Kerza managed to render their ability useless. Even Kai started losing hope in this battle. Kerza was simply too strong.

He understood Kerza's words and temperament. In this fight, Kai had used all his strategies and it gradually became repetitive, so Kerza must have found no value in him anymore.

Sofia and Roselyn attacked him, but the result was the same. They all got blown away by Kerza's absolute strength.

'Should I escape? The kids have been evacuated too, so we can leave right now. However, the entire base will be in turmoil and I can't fulfill the agreement either.' He never thought there would be a day where he needed to run again after that incident in United Asia.

He couldn't predict what this guy would do if he ran away, but he couldn't see the way to defeat this guy. 'What should I do? Should I just run? There are too many uncertainties if I run, but I don't have confidence in fighting this guy right now.'

He took a deep breath and asked, "You… You are one of the strongest, aren't you?"

Kerza made a smug smile as he introduced himself. "My name is Kerza. I am the fifth strongest fighter, so you won't need to feel ashamed to die in my hands."

"Not ashamed? My pride as humanity strongest can't take it." Kai shook his head, shamelessly proclaiming the truth to buy time. "The fact that you're fighting on land has given you a huge disadvantage and you're telling me that I don't need to feel ashamed?"

Kerza snorted. "Your measurement simply can't withstand my power. You humanity is like a frog in a well. Ignorance! You don't have the power to recognize the true might. Kai Carter, it's too bad, but you are not my match."

"Is that so?" Kai smirked as he looked at the sky. "I can hear it though… The raging thunder."

Kerza felt something was wrong and raised his vision, finding the sky turn bright as lightning struck forth.

Next to the lightning was Arnaud with several Magic Circles. "Sky Lightning."

As one would expect from an S Rank Magician, he could do the same thing as Tasha, calling the natural lightning from the sky to strike Kerza even if it took a huge amount of his Magic Power.

Kerza quickly channeled all his power to the sky to hit the lightning. The wind tornado expanded to the sky and clashed with the lightning.

Bam!

The thunderclap echoed right after the strike as the wind dispersed, leaving only Kerza to handle the lightning himself.

However, all four tentacles contained the lightning as the residue shattered the ground near him and turned it into a crater.

"Kh!" His tentacles went numb as he received another attack from the ground. A hundred ice spikes of various sizes emerged from the ground and aimed straight at his neck.

However, Kerza managed to hit the ground once and dispersed his wind to shatter all those ice spikes before even hitting him.

Two people appeared on top of a house.

"Yo, I hope you don't forget these oldies. My power may not be as powerful as my granddaughter now, but I am still an S Rank Magician. Even if it's small, I can do something to him." Jules laughed as he finally participated in the battle.

Arnaud, on the other hand, panted as he felt a bit exhausted from using the attack earlier. "Well, this is my base. I can't really let an outsider protect it by himself. Even if I am going to die in this battle, I will still fight for my base!"

Kai smiled as the reinforcement had come. "I appreciate it."

"That old hag still needs at least thirty minutes to arrive. She is on the way here at full speed, so it can't be helped." Arnaud informed him.

"I understand." Kai nodded in agreement. "That alone is enough for me. With both of you here, I think we can slightly step up to the third worst-case scenario… I guess."

"…" Arnaud and Jules fell silent as they were dumbstruck by what he said. "Third worst-case scenario?" That alone had already given them enough information about what kind of enemy they were facing and the graveness of this situation.

Kai sighed and calculated everything first to see the chance they would win.
