The Magician of Sound

Chapter 294 - Killing The Wolf Pack

The wolves noticed them and turned around, facing the two incoming people and one arrow.

The left wolf only sent his paw to block the arrow, but a magic circle appeared in front of the arrow, turning the small arrow into a stream of lightning. The wolf size was around three meters in height, so its paw was quite big as well, albeit it wasn't enough.

*Zap!*

Before anyone knew it, the lightning pierced the paw, stopping not far from the wolf's head.

"Wu?!" The wolf's head retreated a bit, never expecting there would be something that was powerful enough to pierce his paw.

"Hehe… How is that? I have finally mastered the delayed magic circle after training with Elder Rapakha for two weeks!" Tasha grinned, feeling proud of it. "Albeit it wasn't enough to kill it."

Michelle glanced at that wolf and clicked her tongue. She leaped to the right wolf's head, waving her shadow sword.

Just like how the previous wolf did it, this wolf tried to pounce Michelle to the ground with his paw.

She had been practicing with Kai and learned how unique Kai utilized her Shadow Magic, giving her a precious time to understand how she used it for herself.

The moment the sword struck the paw, Michelle released her magic.

"Shadow Slash!"

The dark wave circled around the paw, just like how Kai thinned the S rank spider's leg. However, this wolf was just a mere A rank magical beast, not the abnormal one like the S rank spider.

It only took her one second before the wolf's paw was cut. Using that chance, Michelle waved her other sword toward the wolf, trying to end it with one blow.

Seeing this, the wolf ducked down and leaped as far as possible, only to hit the wall after that. Even so, it managed to escape death.

It was different for Kai. He didn't need two attacks like Michelle. Instead, he only let the Vibration Sword do the job and used his Sound Blast to launch him to create enough speed to cut down the wolf before it could even react.

"AO!" The left guy immediately howled, ordering the other wolves to move.

The weaker wolves began running toward Kai and Michelle.

A magic circle formed between these two before a third figure appeared. It was Tasha.

"Alright. This lady and gentleman, we need to leave." Tasha smiled, waited for three seconds, and teleported all of them a bit farther from this place.

It was at this time two magic circles appeared out of nowhere. On the right was a huge red circle with a fire symbol in the middle of it, while the other one was a huge blue circle with an ice crystal symbol on it.

"Scarlet Explosion."

"Wild Freezing Game."

The two that had been waiting for the chance to attack finally made their appearance. Because of the rush from the weaker wolves, half of them were inside the magic circle. Kai and the others might be able to buy a bit more time to get all of them in a circle, but the wolves might be able to react and leave the circle within one second at that time.

That was why they risked it and used the magic now like how Kai instructed.

An explosion occurred from the red magic circle, engulfing those inside the magic circle with fire while blowing those on the outside away. At the same time, a huge ice shard rose and froze those wolves while letting the ones on the outside hit the ice with their heads.

The two magic would obviously hit each other as well, but the ice was hard enough to withstand the impact of the explosion while the fire was hot enough to not be frozen.

Kai watched this in amazement. It never came to him that his group was actually this strong. In fact, he might have forgotten the fact that they were fighting against ridiculous opponents this whole time that they forgot the fact that they had gotten stronger… Much stronger than they used to be. Whether it was magic control, attack power, or anything else.

Kai couldn't help but feel excited, looking at how far they had gotten.

"Michelle, let's go. Tasha, support us," Kai commanded while running forward to take advantage of this situation.

Tasha nodded and summoned a few arrows, aiming at the wolves.

Meanwhile, Ayaka and Sofia also had found Kai and Michelle closing in and decided to do the same. Ayaka struck them with her spear or kicked them with her new boots while Sofia shot a barrage of Ice particles to mow them down.

Kai took this chance of confusion to run past the wolves to reach the leader wolf.

At the same time, the other wolf that just hit the wall saw this and charged at Kai from the back. Of course, this action was found by Michelle. She stepped in and blocked the wolf from the front.

"Roar!" The wolf roared, shooting a beam toward her.

Michelle placed her hand on the ground, creating a few layers of dark wall to stop this attack.

To everyone's surprise, the beam exploded right after hitting the first layer, creating a torrential wind that somehow also broke the next few layers.

Not only that, but the A rank wolf stomped the ground with its feet, creating another shock wave that brought down the rest of the wall.

Tasha found this amusing and released the same arrow like earlier. The moment it wanted to hit the wolf, it turned into a powerful lightning bolt, and its target was the wolf's head.

However, it was stopped by an invisible barrier, spinning above the wolf.

"Ho?! The wind is creating a barrier to block my attack?" Tasha narrowed her eyes and pointed her palm toward there, but stopped right after it.

A shadow emerged from the ground, forming a wolf but walking on two feet. It punched the wind barrier with its paw, letting the arrow pierce its head.

The wolf was smart enough to create another ball of wind that deflected the arrow but still ended up piercing his body. At the very least, it escaped death.

The shadow then turned around and leaped on top of the wolf, pinning it down with its weight.

Michelle ran toward the wolf and struck its head, only to find the other paw could still block her.

"Shadow Slash!"

The Shadow Slash ran through the wolf's paw to the hand and ultimately to the head. Before it reached his main body, another wind stopped and blew the Shadow Slash away, and another one appeared to push the shadow on his back.

The wolf tried to fight back, but Michelle didn't let him. Before the shadow got blown away, it already had a string attached to Michelle's hand, and it pulled her straight to the wolf's head, where she used her Shadow Slash to cut his head.

At the same time, Tasha also used the same technique and created a hole on its head.

Michelle glanced at Tasha and gave a thumb up before roaming around to kill the others.

Kai's opponent seemed to have the same technique, but with ice magic instead. This was also the reason why the wolf could avoid Ayaka's and Sofia's attacks. It managed to create an ice cube to protect itself.

'They seem to be stronger than we expect… I wonder if this is normal in the front line since from all the beasts we hunted in the normal mission, all of them weren't this strong. If this is normal, then no wonder the soldiers on the front line are elites filled with strength and experience.' Kai thought while striking the wolf with his Vibration Sword.

Because Kai had shown the strength of his Vibration Sword, the wolf created ice claws to fend himself, but Kai was one step further.

He used his Sound Blast to create enough force to slightly move the wolf's paw, so instead of hitting the claw, Kai waited for a bit and cut the wolf's entire hand instead.

"Ao?!" The wolf howled again, shooting many shards of ice toward Kai. He thought Kai would cut it with his sword if he only used one big piece, but this was instead backfired on him.

Kai used his Sound Blast to deflect it, so the ice shards hit the other wolves while making his way toward the wolf's head.

The wolf tried to stop Kai with its head after this, but he was too fixated on Kai.

There was a fire spiral coming from the left and an ice spear coming from the right. It hit the wolf's body at the same time. The fire spread around the body, burning the fox's fur and body. And the ice spread and created a huge ice crystal on its body, throwing the balance of this fox a little bit to the right.

As for the two culprits who did this, they simply looked away and said in unison. "Oops. We didn't mean to."

From their tone alone, one knew they were joking. Despite facing so many weaker wolves, they had enough concentration and power to support Kai with this. He really felt gratified by how much his group had grown and wouldn't let this chance go.

He saw the opportunity and used his Sound Blast to launch him to the neck, slicing the neck off.

"Ao!" The wolf let out another weak howl before it dropped to the ground, died.

They then started killing the rest of the pack one by one without any problem.

It took them only three minutes to kill the remaining thirty wolves as Kai checked them once more with his hearing before clapping his hand. "Great Job. Really great job."
