The Magician of Sound

Bang.

"President Brent!"

Someone rushed inside the president's office.

"What happened?" Brent furrowed his eyebrows and stood up, feeling something bad had happened after watching how the person in front of him was covered in sweat.

"We have gotten an emergency signal."

"Hmm? Have the academies and other bases supported them." Brent tilted his head in confusion. This shouldn't be his responsibility, so he didn't know why the woman rushed like this.

"But…The base that gave the emergency signal was Yukon Territory Base."

"What?!" Brent slammed his table. "What happened?"

"According to them, they are most likely to face more than three million magical beasts. At the same time, General Brad Matthew and his deputy, Dun, faced three magical beasts that can use magic."

"What did you say? Magic?" Brent narrowed his eyes. "Three magical beasts? And they can use magic? Is there a record of that?"

"No. We haven't heard about it."

"…" Brent pinched the bridge of his nose. "What is Kai Carter's status?"

"He has performed considerably well during the fight. However, he is not fighting against the beasts at the moment. And according to Deputy Dun's secret message, Kai Carter will be late and the one who called the shot was Brad Matthew."

"Ugh. That hard-headed man." Brent gritted his teeth and punched the table. He quickly called Ria Ross.

"Hmm? Do you need anything from me?" Ria's lazy voice resounded in his ears.

Brent gave a quick explanation about the problem, wondering if Ria had knowledge about magical beasts using magic.

"What?" It turned out she had no clue either. "My Kai?"

"He will be late."

"You should send emergency support. Two hundred thousand will be enough to deal with the entire situation. However, you need to create the highest order, stating that my Kai will command the battle."

"Are you sure that is enough? We are facing three unknown magical beasts, you know. Even the S Rank Magical Beast doesn't use magic, no?"

"I agree, but its strength is not at the level of an S Rank Magical Beast, right?"

"Yes."

"Kai will surely solve the situation. As for the remaining beasts, you will need more soldiers to handle the situation. My Kai is enough to solve the remaining problem. If not, I will go there myself."

"You are moving out?"

"Ninety percent, no."

"You sure? Are you not overestimating your student too much?"

"Not really. Kai will soon surpass me, and I am far stronger than I used to be. You know what I mean?"

"Alright. You don't need to explain. I will follow your advice." Brent nodded with a serious expression. He hung up the call and looked at the person coming to his room. "Have our emergency troops move. They need a few hours to reach there, so I want British Columbia and Alberta Bases to send their troops as well. Each of them needs to send fifty thousand."

"I understand." She quickly left the room, carrying the order.

Meanwhile, Brent wrote a formal letter with a single order.

"Kai Carter is to assume the leader of Yukon Territory Base with Brad Matthew as a deputy."

He signed the document and sent it.

"I have done everything I can. If you truly win, my position will be safe and your good image will get amplified." Brent let out a long sigh, sat on his chair, and looked at the sky, feeling a bit stressed.

…

Meanwhile, on the battlefield, the battle became tenser.

"Uoh!" The soldiers kept advancing forward as Brad and Dun followed right before them.

Fortunately, the three magical beasts seemed to be static, waiting for them to reach their place.

When the distance between them remained only fifty meters, the wildebeest finally made its move. The horns began charging the lightning bolt, ready to release its powerful attack.

"Oh! It's coming." Dun frowned and leaped to the front.

The wildebeest planned to attack the advancing soldiers, so he planned to stop it.

"I will take care of the other two," Brad shouted.

"Sure thing." Dun nodded. The moment the bolt of lightning struck forth, Dun clapped his hands, summoning a giant shield. It then turned into a translucent barrier, blocking the lightning.

However, Dun realized that the power behind it was stronger than the one he received a minute ago despite having taken Brad's power into account.

"Kuh!" Dun narrowed his eyes and stomped his right foot, creating another shield behind his current shield.

Crack.

Crack.

The lightning destroyed the barrier and hit the second shield, only to disappear because the power had been depleted during the first clash.

"It's hard indeed." Dun furrowed his eyebrows. "I shouldn't have slacked during my training."

"If you didn't, you would have reached the same level as mine. It's due to your laziness that you only have two stars on your shoulder." Brad snorted while focusing on the bird.

The falcon flapped its wing, creating a horizontal tornado straight to Dun. It seemed to be angered when Dun blocked the attack again.

On the contrary, Dun didn't even look at it as Brad Matthew appeared in front of the attack, thrusting his spear. The magic circle released another beam of ice, clashing with the wind.

The monkey suddenly appeared next to him, punching him on the side and blowing him to the ground.

Bam.

Brad crashed onto the ground, but he looked safe. On the exact spot the monkey hit him was broken ice that seemed to just protect him earlier.

"Kh. That power…" Brad clenched his teeth.

"Brad, are you alright?" Dun glanced and found that the falcon and wildebeest attacked him simultaneously.

"Kh!" He summoned the two shields to block the two, but the lightning managed to pierce the shield, electrocuting him. "Gah!"

"You bastard." Brad roared as he quickly recovered, standing in front of Dun. "You alright?"

"Yeah." Dun quickly stood back on his feet and narrowed his eyes. "This is not going to be easy. Stopping one of them is my limit while we need to handle three. Hopefully, someone will come soon."

When no one looked at him, the monkey sneaked around and arrived on top of the soldiers. It dove to the ground and struck the dirt. That fist released a powerful wind that blew away the soldiers.

Their formation soon collapsed as the magical beasts began to overrun their rank.

"No, you won't!" Brad appeared on the gap of their rank and placed his hand on the ground. A blue magic circle appeared below his feet as it summoned a few huge spikes from the ground, piercing the beasts. "Stand up! You all need—"

Before he finished his words, the monkey already appeared and punched him on the cheek, blowing him away again.

Brad quickly rose, but the monkey had returned to his position in the air.

On the other hand, Dun had trouble blocking the two attacks.

Suddenly, what he feared happened.

The eagle turned around and flapped its wing, sending wind flow that seemed to be different from a normal wind. Suddenly, many soldiers flew to the sky, albeit only their upper bodies. The wind was powerful enough to cut them, turning the situation even worse.

Dun focused too much on the eagle, not realizing that the wildebeest's foot was about to step on him.

Boom.

"Commander Dun!" The soldiers shouted, never expecting that Dun just died.

"Don't just kill off your commander, you little brats. I am going to spank you after this battle ends." Dun complained as he managed to create a barrier connected to the ground to withstand the wildebeest's weight.

Brad summoned a few head-sized ice cubes and threw them toward the wildebeest.

Since it wouldn't be beneficial for him, the wildebeest retreated.

"Huft." Dun let out a sigh of relief.

"Shadow Slash!"

Suddenly, A female's voice resounded on the battlefield as four giant black fire walls emerged in the battlefield. It cut many magical beasts at once, securing a path to go toward the three magical beasts.

"That's our goal!" A man's voice echoed right after before they heard roars coming from multiple people.

Those, who were on the higher ground, saw a group of people numbering five thousand charging straight to Brad and Dun.

"Oh, the reinforcement has come." Dun laughed while saying. "You all are screwed!"

Brad gritted his teeth. He never approved this, but he hated himself to admit that no one would be a better reinforcement other than this guy.

The monkey saw them and quickly flew toward Kai, punching the air. It resulted in a torrential wind that would blow Kai's group. If they took it, their momentum would stop and get swarmed by the magical beasts.

To prevent this from happening, Kai used his Sound Blast to launch himself to the air, confronting the monkey by himself.

His Sword suddenly released a powerful shock wave as he cut through the wind. The shock wave deflected the wind to the side, so it couldn't reach his group.

Seeing this, the monkey stopped using that magic and threw a punch at him instead.

Kai already predicted it and used his Sound Levitation to slightly shift his body.

The next second, they saw the monkey's right hand fall to the ground.

The monster that Brad and Dun had trouble with actually got slashed easily by Kai? Was this a nightmare or a good dream?

They didn't know. The only thing they knew was that such a person came to the rescue.

"Mr. President's Highest Order. I shall take the command. Michelle. Go and handle the wildebeest for me. Commander Brad Matthew, focus on the eagle. Commander Dun, protect our soldiers."

  Dun and Michelle smirked. Even Brad couldn't help but agree as they shouted in unison.

"Roger."
