"Understood, Captain."

After giving his order, Kai and Ayaka leaped toward the female simultaneously. Kai slashed his right sword toward her neck this time while Ayaka moved slightly to the left and summoned her magic circle, locking the female movement.

Noticing this movement, the female decided to act according to her instinct.

"!!!" Kai saw her suddenly ducking down and swiping her two hands to cut them down.

Ayaka simply pierced the ground lightly and blocked the incoming attack with her spear. Her spear handle was solid enough to handle the sharpness from this scythe while the weight behind it prevented her from getting pushed back.

On the other hand, Kai didn't care about this attack as he swung one of his swords, trying to cut it down with a single swing. Yet…

*Clang Clang!*

Multiple clicking sounds echoed through the battlefield. Not only her, even Kai was baffled. He never thought that the hardness on the scythe was higher than he expected.

'It seems I have miscalculated their ability?' Kai furrowed his eyebrows before noticing a huge amount of magic power leaked out of the scythe. 'No. She has sacrificed much of her magic power to block my attack.'

The female retreated a few steps before swinging the two scythes. Just like Michelle's Shadow Slash, she shot out two crescent attacks toward Kai as she chose to kill him first after knowing his power.

Kai looked at these attacks running through the ground and struck it with his Vibration Sword. Surprisingly, the attack flew back toward her after getting struck hard by him.

'Huh? Normally it will break or explode when I strike it, but this one bounces?' The question kept replaying in his mind as Kai looked at these two attacks that destroyed the electricity pillar behind him. It wasn't the usual huge electricity tower, but it was a small and short pillar at the height of a two-stories house and channeled the electricity to the houses around.

The female shocked him once more when the two attacks suddenly exploded as soon as it cut the pole. However, it wasn't a normal explosion as it shot the pole flying.

"!!!" Kai widened his eyes, finding something interesting. He didn't know why, but he felt that he grasped something earlier. 'That attack… I feel like I can use it as the foundation of my Sound Levitation? I can first shoot smaller and lighter objects before shooting myself and eventually a heavy object. After that, I can try to maintain it to make me float in the air! If I can make the concept, all I need is some adjustment to prevent the sound from leaking as it really needs sound energy to launch something like that.'

Kai finally got the concept he needed to complete his Sound Levitation. He never thought that the concept came from his own target. He took a deep breath and swore in his heart. 'I am thankful for this, but I still need to kill you. The only thing I can do is kill you painlessly. If only I have the way to save you… I might find it in the future, but I am not confident I can protect you and my family from the potential troubles. You may curse me or say I'm selfish, but that's me. I'm just a regular guy, not a hero.'

Gritting his teeth, Kai leaped forward.

"Ayaka. Help me! We are finishing this battle in a minute or two!"

"Alright!" Ayaka observed his movement, realized what she needed to do, and started moving.

On the other hand, Michelle was still fighting the horse boy. She never expected that she had so much trouble dealing with this person.

"Fu." She took another deep breath and charged at him.

The boy might not look like it, but there was this hidden side of him behind that timidness. His control of magic power was beyond her imagination. She never thought that there was someone like him becoming a beast.

The boy only stared at her silently and took a deep breath. "I might not have a huge amount of magic power, but I'm confident with my magic control."

Michelle furrowed her eyebrows. "Then why don't you just pursue the normal way? I'm sure that you can achieve it far. Besides, the Government won't force you to join something like this."

"What do you know? I know you! You are the S rank magician, Michelle Graham. You have the support of Graham Family and can get anything you want!" He snarled at her.

Michelle had no change of expression. "It's because you are weak and can't even withstand the pressure coming toward you. You must have felt that it is normal for you to fail because you are not talented… However, I know a boy who was so talented that he was hurt by his talent to the point he sealed his own power. Yet, he finally climbs his way back up because he doesn't have many things. No, I should say that he can withstand every single pressure coming his way because he doesn't have everything, unlike you, who have given up. Isn't it the reason why you turn into something like this?"

He wanted to rebuke her, but the words stuck on his mouth. Suddenly, he felt Michelle's presence from his right and quickly sent another kick toward her.

"!!!" Michelle could only stare at his feet silently. The magic power behind that kick was immense to the point it could withstand her power. No, he actually created a magic circle first to strengthen his foot like a metal. This could only be done for a man who had Earth Magic. 'He is my worst enemy…'

Having no other options, she decided to use all of her magic power and transferred it toward her swords, ready to cut him down with her Shadow Slash. "It seems that your ability has been enhanced by that horse blood… The problem is you are still not my match!"

"Hmph!" He simply snorted before feeling chill down to his spine as his instinct took over, forcing him to dodge to the side. Unfortunately… "Ah!"

He screamed out of pain as an arrow pierced through his shoulder.

Michelle looked at this person, who somehow fell to the ground and appeared before him while swinging her swords.

"Shadow Slash!"

"Tch!" He clicked his tongue and raised his feet, trying to block this attack.

"Boom!" The crack appeared on the ground.

Isabelle was smiling when she heard this loud sound. Unlike Tasha, no matter how powerful her suppressor, it wasn't enough to silence the sound coming from her bullet. She had yet to release a single bullet this whole time, so this loud sound was a perfect cover for her first shot.

She aimed at the last person and pulled the trigger. It was hard to notice the sound of this bullet unless someone had the same ears as Kai.

However, the boy's wolf ears picked up something as he raised his hand to the right and repelled the bullet before looking at Isabelle and Tasha. "There is another enemy on that building!"

Not letting him take a breather, Tommy and the twins moved at the same time.

"Ha!" A thunderous roar resounded across the area. Luckily, the sound itself was stopped by Kai's Sound Insulation Room. If not, the magical beasts would already notice.

"Your resistance is futile!" Tommy placed his hand on the ground, freezing the ground. The ice spread toward the angry boy as it froze his feet and locked him so he couldn't go anywhere.

Eva and Eve appeared right beside the boy and struck him with their fire swords.

It was a dangerous situation for the boy, and he should have realized that he couldn't do anything and started panicking but... He simply grinned and slashed his two claws toward the twins.

However, this attack was like no other attack he used previously. Behind this attack, extraordinary magic energy overflowed and created two powerful crescent attacks, flying toward the twins.

"What?!" Eva and Eve were oblivious to such an attack. Having no preparation for the attack, it blew them away. "Ah!"

Kai suddenly realized and glanced at the boy. "This is not good!"

The first attack flew toward the building where Tasha and the others were at while the other one went in the opposite direction, making its way toward Kai's Sound Insulation Magic.

"Ayaka. I'm leaving her to you." Kai snapped his finger and created a magic circle below his feet while shouting. "Nicholas. That one is on you!"

Kai appeared again right on the edge of his Sound Insulation Room, striking his swords toward this attack. Meanwhile, Nicholas was already prepared to take on this attack. He raised his shield and created a huge brown magic circle on top of it and blocked the attack.

"I'm done here. I will use everything I have to bring you out of this place." The boy, who released the technique, released all of his magic power at this moment. "Looking at how they react, that thin layer of green glass is very brittle. As long as we can break it, we can summon every single magical beast around the area. I am fine dying here as long as I can drag them down with me…"

*Bam!*

As he was talking, Isabelle shot another round toward his heart. He only had the body of a human, so she was afraid to aim another part because she didn't know whether it would kill him or not.

Having released all of his power, he sensed the incoming bullet too late and tried to dodge it, but the bullet ended up piercing the side of his chest before he fell down to the side due to the momentum.

"Tch!" He immediately stood back up while enduring his pain as he looked at Kai.

Kai furrowed his eyebrows and thought for a moment. "Change of plan. Tommy, Eve, and Eva will assist Ayaka to kill the female. Make sure to finish the battle as soon as possible. I will handle that guy alone!"

"Understood!" They replied in unison.

Kai then took a deep breath and released his animal instinct.
