"Thank you, you three. I have managed to fuse with the magic power. Let's overturn the situation, shall we?" Kai was still smiling despite the condition. He looked at Silva and ordered. "Have one hundred people in each broken wall. Just buy time as long as possible. The remaining soldiers will push from the middle with the help of the gunners."

"I understand." Silva nodded furiously as he quickly took control of the army.

Kai then walked toward Sofia and patted her shoulder before nodding to Michelle and Ayaka. "Go attack his body with your speed. Sofia and I will hinder his movement. Just make sure you watch out for his water magic because it's far stronger than you can imagine. As for the claws, I think we will be fine."

"Understood." The three turned serious as they formed their own battle scenarios in their head.

Kai took out his swords and said coldly. "We will take everything away—his eyes, his joints, his claws, his legs, and finally his life. Remember to watch out for each other. I believe we will turn this situation around in a few minutes."

"Hmph! Do you think you are capable of bringing me down, Human? Even though you are the one… You don't even know the meaning behind her word and what reason we would exist… You won't be able to take us on, especially with the water surrounding me." The crab raised his claws as water flowed outside the sand.

Kai glanced once before he charged toward the crab while shouting. "Beware of water attacks from the ground."

"Yes!"

Kai struck the right claw with his swords. The crab naturally tried to attack him with the other claw, except Sofia suddenly appeared and grabbed the other hand, holding it in one place.

Knowing they had restricted the movement, Michelle charged at the crab from the front and slashed his body with Shadow Slash. At the same time, Ayaka also thrust her spear from behind, trying to target his back or legs. However, all of it was for naught. There was no scratch or whatsoever in his body except the one coming from Kai's attack.

The crab didn't say anything and acted as if he was not hurt. Kai didn't know whether the crab was acting strong or not because he never interacted with a talking crab, so he considered their attack was a failure.

"Watch out!" He suddenly heard a sound underneath their feet and alarmed everyone.

They immediately looked down and leaped to the air while Kai simply put a sword in front of him and another one on his left. Two spikes made of water appeared precisely emerged from where he expected them to, so the two water spikes were cut into two, missing him in the process.

On the other hand, the other three were also targeted by two water spikes. Michelle simply slashed them with her Shadow Slash. Ayaka dodged them with her speed while Sofia froze them. However, they were too far because of the earlier leap and couldn't react to the next attack, leaving Kai alone in front of the Protector.

The crab used this chance and struck Kai with his claws, blowing him a few meters away. Albeit, there were two tiny pieces of shell flying in the air. In that instant, Kai still managed to attack the crab while blocking the attack.

Even so, the crab didn't act weirdly since Kai had been doing this from the start and immediately leaped toward Kai, trying to attack him again while he was still in the air.

"You can't dodge that way! I have seen all your tricks already." Eru shouted as he grinned.

Kai simply smiled as he suddenly tilted his head to the left as two bullets flew past his ears.

"!!!" Eru was surprised about this attack and immediately bent down to receive the bullet with his back.

*Clang Clang!*

As expected from a Protector, he still managed to react that way. However, Kai hadn't finished. He went under him and waved his swords with Vibration Swords.

"Die!" He struck at its body as strong as possible, only to find he made a small cut in his body while the remaining force blasted him, forcing his body and head to face upward.

It was at this moment Tasha's magic circle appeared again as a bolt of lightning struck forth.

"Kh!" Eru gritted his teeth and used his magic, summoning water pillars from the sand. It was then twisted to make something like a cage and stopped the lightning together.

Seeing this, Ayaka, Michelle, and Sofia attacked once again. Ayaka and Michelle, this time, stopped the two claws while Sofia became the main attack.

Suddenly, Kai's voice resounded on the battlefield. "Blast him to his original position."

Sofia didn't know his intention but still did as she was told. She punched the crab, specifically in his wound, to make it more painful before blowing him away.

When he was passing his original position, a red magic circle appeared on the sand as Ayaka smiled.

"What?" Eru was certainly surprised about this, never expecting a magic circle in a place like this.

On the other hand, Kai heard her movement when she attacked the crab with Michelle and realized she planted magic there and that magic was none other…

"Magic Bomb!" Ayaka activated the magic, and a huge explosion occurred, engulfing the crab from point-blank range.

"Hmm… It's not very effective." Kai furrowed his eyebrows and muttered to himself.

"This is good. Really good!" An excited voice suddenly echoed from within the blazing explosion before the crab blew the fire and smoke away with a single wave of its claw. "To think a bunch of newborn chicks can fight this well, this is really good."

"Hmph! We can continue if you want. Even though that wound is shallow, you will still die sooner or later." Kai was sweating inwardly. Ayaka's explosion was very powerful, but it seemed it was still nowhere compared to the monstrous SSS magical beast. He was wondering how much their actual power was reduced when they came to the land for a period of time because this one was really monstrous as he recalled Ra's case.

"Do you think you can win? I think this is the time I get serious!" The crab raised his two hands.

Kai and the others didn't know what he wanted to do. Kai tweaked his finger as a signal for Isabelle to shoot.

*Bam Bam!*

"Shut up!" Eru simply waved his claw and deflected the two bullets. Suddenly, the water behind them rose around fifty meters high. It slowly turned into a human form — Upper body alone as if it were a water elemental or something. "Do you think we are like you? Humans can only use mana to use magic, like magic thrower. However, we, Protectors, might only have water elements, but we have a big difference to the likes of you. We are controlling the elements ourselves.

"Now, Rise! Water Guardian, Khaigos!"

The water elemental raised both hands as if it was alive.

"Mow them down!"

The water elemental then sent his fist toward Kai and the others. They thought it would be as simple as dodging it, considering it was not fast, albeit Kai realized right on time.

"No! We need to stop that punch!" He realized as soon as he saw everyone on his back. They were still fighting against the magical beasts and had no way to respond to this type of attack. If the water elemental brought the flood in this environment, not only would it weaken their strength, it would also give the elemental advantage to the magical beasts. It was already catastrophic enough to hold them in this environment, and if they were also having this type of advantage, Miami would be done for.

As if she was responding to Kai's voice, Tasha suddenly appeared in front of the fist and looked at this water elemental without having an expression. She simply pointed her hand toward the fist as she created a pink magic circle.

A giant pink sphere, ten meters in diameter, the same size of the fist, appeared in front of it. The sphere swallowed the fist entirely like it was slime.

"Hmph! Spatial Lock! Begone!"

After swallowing the entire fist, the pink sphere vanished into thin air as if it never existed. The water elemental couldn't continue its attack with this fist and changed with the other fist.

Tasha wanted to stop this, but Ayaka beat her first.

"I can't carelessly use this one on the battlefield earlier because there are friendlies. However, I can use it against this thing!" Ayaka clapped her hand as a red magic circle appeared in front of the water elemental's chest.

"Scarlet Explosion!"

*Boom!*

The magic circle exploded, creating a hole in the chest and separating the body from the head and hands. The result was pretty obvious. Without the support of the water below it, the head and hands crumbled.

Without anyone noticing, Sofia already walked toward the ocean and placed her hand on the water as she created a blue magic circle.

"Freezing Field!"

She sent an ice that spread toward the water elemental, creating a horizontal line between her and the body before freezing the lower body.

Tasha found this as another opportunity and landed on the ground as she created another Teleportation Magic circle. However, this time the targets were the magical beasts.

Around fifty of them suddenly appeared high in the sky, falling down at high speed. These magical beasts hit the frozen body and shattered the water elemental into pieces.

"Nice! The weather is very nice today. To have another magical beast rain that can help us defeat the enemy." Kai nodded in approval.

They nodded with a smile as they believed the water elemental was destroyed. But Eru suddenly laughed out loud as he shouted. "I just said it! We control water! As long as there is water, we are absolute!"

As soon as he uttered those words, the water elemental regenerated and looked at them.
