The Magician of Sound

"It\'s payback time."

"I will be leaving the rest to you three." Sofia smiled as her body disappeared.

Michelle and Ayaka turned serious. Even though they had discussed that either she or Michelle would be sacrificed to inflict serious damage to Kai, it still made them feel bad to kill their own comrade even though it was clearly the best choice.

Kai used this chance to swing his sword as the two immediately retreated a few meters back.

Looking at his hand on the ground, he used his sword as support, feeling a bit weak due to the blood loss.

"This is the technique that you can only use here." He sighed while deactivating his current sword and hanging it on his pants. As for his sword, he took the one his severed arm was still holding and used this one instead.

"Of course we know that, but since you want us to fight here instead of the real world, it\'s better to take advantage of the system." Ayaka shook her head and

"I am not complaining or whatsoever. I am just surprised with how daring you are." Kai sighed.

"Either way, this is the last stretch. You only have one hand and lost too much blood." Michelle pointed her sword at him.

"Yeah. Your right arm is not that strong anymore, while Ayaka also only has one arm. She is in the same condition as me." Kai looked at them with a serious expression. "Besides, the only reason you could fight me this well was due to Evan strengthening you with his new magic."

"Even so, we won\'t be dying like a fool since Evan also has healed us. As for you… It\'s better to surrender. This is our win." Michelle snorted and jumped toward him. Ayaka followed suit and thrust her spear.

Kai slashed Michelle\'s sword first before blocking Ayaka\'s spear with his sword.

Michelle instantly made another pair of swords while Evan shot him.

Without his other hand, Kai was forced to use his Oscillation Shield to block Michelle\'s attack, but it ended up being destroyed with her Shadow Slash. At the same time, Evan\'s bullets flew past the shattered magic circle.

Kai shifted his body to the side, but Ayaka suddenly pushed him back, forcing him to stay on his feet.

Luckily, Kai\'s strength was stronger than her. He managed to walk one step to the side, having only his already cut arm pierced by the bullets.

"Kh." He had grown accustomed to pain, but if it was a continuous pain like this, it was hard to endure it like this. And he was also tired from losing too much blood and getting attacked this whole time.

Michelle continued her strike where another Oscillation Shield blocked her again. Not wanting to make the same move, a black magic circle appeared on their feet before a wall of shadow emerged from the ground, trying to strike his abdomen and ultimately blew him away.

Kai clicked his tongue and raised his foot, stopping the wall with his foot. After that, he used another Sound Blast to blow Ayaka away.

Having read this, Ayaka activated her Fire Wing before getting blown away, so she could immediately decelerate and attack him again.

Seeing there were two seconds of leeway, Kai swung his sword at Michelle.

It was at this moment Michelle summoned his shadow. Normally, one of his hands would be able to strike this, but because he didn\'t have two hands anymore, the shadow successfully grabbed his body before throwing him into the air.

"…" Kai observed the entire situation first. Since he had gotten to the air, he planned to take advantage of it and used his Sound Blast to launch him toward Evan.

Ayaka had predicted it as she clapped her hand. "Fire Net!"

Kai furrowed his eyebrows and used another Sound Blast to stop him. Before he used another one to launch him in another direction, Michelle had arrived next to him, swinging her swords.

Kai also struck both swords with his own weapon, only to click his tongue as Ayaka\'s spear arrived.

With that distance, she obviously threw her spear. However, Michelle summoned her own shadow and caught the spear before using it to push Kai back.

As long as that spear was still here, he wouldn\'t be able to cut anyone else down. However, with the current situation, Michelle and her shadow managed to win in terms of strength, blowing him away.

Kai was spinning in the air. Evan used this chance to shoot at him but was blocked by the Oscillation Shield.

He then landed on the ground before leaping three times to stop the momentum.

Michelle and Ayaka surrounded him again from two different reactions while Evan maintained his distance so as to not get killed by Kai in a single mistake.

He checked the surroundings.

\'What should I do? Behind me is a tree…\' Kai suddenly realized what he needed to do and shouted. "I am really at a disadvantage."

"Losing one arm is big for you because your fighting style is focused on dual-wielding so much. And you will be weakened as time passes, this is the day we claim our victory." Michelle smiled.

"Just surrender. We won\'t bully you after this." Ayaka smirked while looking at him with a teasing glance.

"You are so sure that I will be losing?!" Kai snorted before a magic circle appeared right on the ground behind him. It was right between his legs and the tree.

\'Sound Blast?! Want to escape?!\' Ayaka and Michelle thought the same thing as they leaped toward him. \'I won\'t let you.\'

It was at this moment Kai suddenly adjusted his feet and stomped the tree instead of the magic circle, so instead of going up with his Sound Blast, he leaped toward Ayaka.

"!!!" Ayaka was shocked and instinctively put her spear to protect her, but she was too late.

Kai cut both of her feet as her body fell down next to her. He spun his body, planning to strike her down with one last slash.

Seeing this, Michelle increased her speed and struck Kai down. "Don\'t you dare to touch her!"

To her surprise, Kai made another turn just to direct his swing at her instead of Ayaka.

\'He read me?\' Michelle widened her eyes before she found Ayaka\'s spear faster than him, appearing right between him and Michelle.

Ayaka must know that her spear wouldn\'t be able to pierce Kai at this point, so she left it to Michelle. However, a green magic circle appeared right on the spear\'s butt as it launched the spear straight where Evan was.

"Wha—" Evan and Michelle were shocked.

Evan tried to avoid this sudden attack but to no avail. The spear impaled his right arm, almost cutting it. Either way, he couldn\'t use this hand in a short time, let alone at a time like this where the conclusion would come at any moment.

"Kh!" He gritted his teeth and immediately covered it with his bubble to stop the bleeding.

Meanwhile, Michelle realized that with her speed, she wouldn\'t be able to stop in time. Her swords were also not strong enough to stop Kai\'s Vibration Sword.

Kai used this chance to cut the two Shadow Swords along with her, but the latter managed to avoid the fatal blow by sacrificing her hand.

"Impossible." Ayaka\'s voice echoed in their ears as Evan on the opposite side of her could see what just happened.

After cutting Michelle\'s hand, he released the grip, making the sword fly toward Ayaka. With the pain of losing her legs and the unbalanced body, she had no chance of defending herself from Kai\'s sword.

Ultimately, the sword pierced her heart, and she died on the spot.

Evan grabbed the pistol that fell to the ground after being pierced by the spear and shot him.

Unfortunately to him, Kai\'s Oscillation Shield already formed and blocked the bullet.

"Michelle, leave!"

She suddenly heard Ayaka\'s voice and knew what she was trying to do. Her shadow then threw her away.

Seeing this, Kai also realized what they were planning and summoned a magic circle to avoid this.

Michelle wouldn\'t let him go away and sent her Shadow Slash toward him.

When he was about to create another Oscillation Shield, he was forced to create one on his left due to Evan shooting him. Because his left hand was no longer there, he had no way to stop this other than Oscillation Shield, so Michelle\'s Shadow Slash managed to break the Sound Blast magic circle.

"Lullaby!" Kai didn\'t want to go down just like that and changed his strategy.

The high-pitched sound echoed in everyone\'s ears, but to his surprise, Ayaka\'s magic circle was still formed right below his feet.

"You have used that technique on me the most. I have grown accustomed to it already." Ayaka smiled with her right eye closed as if enduring the pain. "I will bring you down with me, love you."

Kai gritted his teeth and leaped back while moving his Oscillation Shield to the front. Not wanting to let Ayaka\'s attack go to waste, he released another shot.

Due to this, Kai tilted his head to the side and had his ear destroyed by the bullet. At the very least, he didn\'t die from this. This was all his thought.

"Scarlet Explosion!"

"Boom!"

The magic circle finally showed its might, engulfing her and Kai.

Sadly, Kai managed to get away from the epicenter and used the force to blow him away. However, he was covered with burn marks. His clothes almost got burned completely.

Evan aimed at him once again, only to find himself dead right after.

Kai managed to throw his last sword to him before the Scarlet Explosion. This was insane.

Even so, without any strength left along with his weapons, Michelle decided to end this. She appeared right before him and stabbed him with her swords.

"We finally won." Michelle smiled, knowing they couldn\'t feel proud of this messy win.

But Kai shocked her once again. "That is if you kill me first before I kill you."

Before his last breath, Kai\'s finger was right next to her ears. This was the magic that he had sealed this whole time, and Michelle would receive it at point-blank range.

"Ultrasonic Assassin!"

Snap.
