The Magician Of Sound

Chapter 395 - Protectors

The next day, Kai didn't make any big move because he had adjusted his plan according to the information Rain brought. Of course, he helped him in the process since it was a precious experience to listen to one of the big names in the Military.

Kai ultimately extended the battle from three days to two weeks because he felt that the protectors would appear within that time, depending on the condition of his soldiers.

"So, what are we going to do, Commander?" Rain gradually walked to Kai who was watching the army fighting.

Kai waited for him first until he reached a certain distance and used his Sound Insulation magic.

"What is this?" Rain took a step back, dumbfoundedly staring at the barrier Kai erected. It was a different kind of barrier that he used to make, so he wanted to know what it was.

"This is my Sound Insulation magic. No one can hear us." Kai nodded as he pointed at the surroundings. "No sound can come inside either."

"I see, but I am still perplexed as to your reason for doing this." Rain narrowed his eyes, pressuring Kai for an answer.

"I am just wary against our enemy. They once have a dolphin that can listen to anything in a certain radius. If the dolphin happens to be in the vicinity and listens to our plan, it's going to be problematic. After all, I don't know if he is there unless he talks or something." Kai sighed.

"So, does that mean you have a different plan than the one we were working for yesterday?"

"Yes." Kai nodded. "I want to see whether there is a protector or not today. I need your help."

"I understand. I shall help you to the best of my ability. What do you want me to do?" Rain obviously had mellowed up a bit after seeing how Kai made his plan and understood his train of thoughts.

"Nothing. I want you to stay inside the tent without showing yourself while spouting some bullsh*t."

"Hmm?" Rain looked down as if he grasped a bit of his plan. "You want the enemy to think that you don't let me fight or something? Are you planning to lure them out?"

"Yes. I am going to be the bait. If I look exhausted, they will probably make a move." Kai nodded.

"But won't they catch our plan?"

"I am not sure. From what I know, as long as the princess is not here, they won't be able to rival me," said Kai with confidence.

"Ho?" Rain thought for a moment. "I understand the gist of your plan. I will be your reinforcement when they come, right?"

"Yes. I informed my team yesterday night, so they are ready to come here when they appear."

"Do you know how they operate?"

"I am not sure, but I know that they won't come here alone right now." Kai narrowed his eyes. "After all, they will die here. There is a possibility of two or even three protectors after this, so I want you to handle one of them for me."

"Hoh? I haven't fought against them, so I don't know their real strength."

"I believe that you can stop one. My team will stop the other one while I am dealing with the other one. This is the worst case scenario."

"I understand. I will follow your plan." Rain nodded, thinking that this would be the best chance to see Kai's true power and compared it to his. This allowed him to see Ria's real strength because he wanted to be the best magician on the base. According to his information, Ria seemed to be a bit stronger than him, so if he could overpower Kai, he had a chance against Ria Ross.

Kai didn't know a thing about his motive and said. "Anyway, I am going to hunt for a bit to call them here. If doing this for three days doesn't give any result, we will assume there are no protectors in this place."

"Sure thing." Rain nodded.

Kai then brought his army to roam around the battlefield, killing many magical beasts as if he tried to end the battle in a few days. This would look like he was trying to exhaust himself, but Kai didn't put on too much strength and the pace was a bit slower than yesterday. In other words, Kai still preserved his stamina even in this situation.

A few hours later.

A flock of birds suddenly emerged from the horizon, flying straight to the army.

"What happened?"

"Why would a group of flying beasts suddenly come at us?"

"Inform Commander Kai!"

"That's right. Inform the commander."

However, Kai was on the battlefield and heard them from afar.

"It seems that they have come." Kai narrowed his eyes and raised his hand. "Everyone. Retreat right now."

"What?!" The soldiers were baffled because they never expected to hear that kind of order from Kai Carter.

However, the officers quickly believed in him and helped the retreat process, making the others follow.

Kai then used his Sound Levitation, floating in the air as he stared at the horizon.

When Rain noticed the change, he came out of the tent and headed straight next to him.

"Have Commander Brad Matthew direct the rest of the soldiers."

"I have told him." Rain nodded with a serious expression.

"You should wait. I am going to end this as soon as possible," said Kai while pointing at his right.

Rain understood that there was a protector coming from that way.

"You handle the second one until I can kill the first one. Okay?"

"Roger."

What Kai said and what he did was completely different, but Rain understood that the fact that the enemies coming here at this time meant they knew the condition of the battlefield. They either had a dolphin that informed them about the current situation or they were watching from afar.

Kai's hearing range, so the latter was not possible. With this situation, Kai acted as if he didn't know about the third protector.

He then raised his hands with three hands pointing upward.

Isabelle and the others already arrived. The moment she got the signal, Isabelle conveyed the signal to the others without speaking to make sure that the enemies didn't know anything.

Kai then closed his eyes and waited for them to arrive.

After five minutes, he opened his eyes as two creatures came to his vision. The left one was a starfish, walking on his two feet and holding a shield and a sword. It certainly had this weird aura, especially when looking at the starfish that was covered with black metallic color.

Kai wasn't sure about this, but it felt like the metallic color was the fish covering himself with steel. His skin would probably become one of the hardest he had faced so far, so he hoped that his Sonic Sword was enough to handle it alone. If not, he needed to resort to another thing.

Either way, what he focused on was the second one. It was the same turtle as the one he met during the previous war. Its defensive power wasn't a joke. He didn't know whether Rain had enough strength to rival him in terms of defense.

But Rain would surely fight the one coming from the right, leaving the turtle to the girls and the others. Still, fighting against a defensive turtle was better than fighting the starfish, so he chose to believe in them, hoping they could buy enough time until he killed the starfish.

"I have never thought that you are going to come here…" Kai narrowed his eyes, glaring at the turtle.

"We have met again." The turtle nodded. "I am just helping these two youngsters to wreak havoc on your base. That's all."

"As long as I am here, you can't do that." Kai shook his head. "Anyway, I am afraid that you three are to forfeit your lives here."

"That's a big tone, don't you think?" The turtle smirked while narrowing his eyes.

"I am aware, but it's not like I was lazing around this whole time. What? Are you planning for suicide bombers again?"

"Ahaha. That's just a small trick from the princess, nothing else. She was frustrated because you killed her little pet."

"Pet, huh. Either way, my mission remains the same."

"Commander. Why don't we just beat these guys up?" Rain nonchalantly said while looking down at them.

"You are not qualified to talk, young man." The turtle raised his hand and gently pushed forward. Creating a small barrier that was going to blow him away.

Surprisingly, another barrier appeared out of thin air, stopping the turtle's barrier.

"Hoh?" The turtle narrowed his eyes. "Since you want it this way, we both are going to destroy you now."

Suddenly, a blue light flew from their right like that of a bullet.

"Commander!" The soldiers who happened to see it roared, trying to warn him.

Unfortunately, the blue light hit him first, exploding and producing a cloud of smoke that covered up Kai and Rain for a while.

"Oops. Not both of us, but the three of us. My old age has made me a bit forgetful, you see." The turtle smirked.

"Hehe…It seems he is right." Rain smirked as the smoke cleared up, showing him and his barrier still intact.

He narrowed his eyes, trying to see who attacked him earlier. However, it turned out that the other party was so big that he only needed to raise his head a bit to see it.

A red-colored ten-foot octopus slowly marched its way toward Rain. It seemed that it just released the attack from its mouth, so Rain marked it as one of the threats that might kill him.

"I have been waiting for you, idiot octopus." Rain smirked as he raised his hands, summoning the translucent barriers.
