"Tasha!"


    "Leave it to me." Tasha slipped out of their defense, taking a considerable distance before shooting her lightning arrow.


    They had been raiding this underground nest for almost an hour, killing around three hundred magical beasts in the process. The time was a bit slow because they couldn''t use a big move that could kill many in an instant, but it was pretty fast in Kai''s eyes.


    Besides, they also took down all the monsters while exploring the cave. However, they got attacked in thest room before the biggest room.


    It seemed the leader of this nest had found Kai and his group and decided to make the first move. Because of that, the remaining two hundred magical beasts were storming their room.


    Kai decided and canceled the small test, asking everyone to go back with their own style.


    Tasha had been shooting her arrow for a few minutes, killing around fifty magical beasts. Kai and Michelle took care of their front while Ayaka burned their corpses to give way for the magical beasts to strike them. It was a bit insane, but it allowed Kai to direct the beasts to go through the gap between the corpses as he intended it, making the whole thing easier.


    Sofia strengthened the "wall" by freezing the corpses in the left and right, so the beasts couldn''t knock the corpses off and attacked them from another way.


    Kai looked at the three antsing and struck the first one as Michelle took another one. Tasha killed thest one, and Ayaka immediately cleaned them up.


    Luckily, the air cirction was enough. If not, they would have been poisoned from the smoke. And of course, Kai blew the smoke away by using his Sound st.


    This continued for another few minutes before Kai''s expression turned serious. "The boss ising."


    "The boss?" Michelle narrowed her eyes and asked. "How many magical beasts left?"


    "Fifty."


    "That is quite a big number. Well, it''s not a number we can''t handle." She shrugged.


    Kai thought for a second andmanded. "With that size, the strongest one will surely destroy the barrier. That''s why I will be taking care of the A rank magical beast while all four of you take care of the rest."


    "Sure." Ayaka nodded. "Just make sure that we don''t finish faster than you because it will be embarrassing."


    "Indeed. Kai should be able to kill the beast within a minute while we need to clear the remaining ones within two to three minutes." Tasha nodded.


    "You two… Has my grandfather influenced you to the point you are always joking on every asion?" Michelle asked with a serious expression as if she didn''t want it to happen.


    Suddenly, Ayaka and Tasha fell silent as if Michelle was right.


    "It''s just a soldier''s joke, you know! We shouldn''t be too tense and joke like this from time to time because hunting like this will be boring and taxing without it." Tashaughed it off.


    "That''s true. If all the people like you, the group might finish this mission without talking a single word other than the nning. It will be too stiff." Ayaka nodded in agreement.


    "…" Michelle twitched her eyebrows, but before she could continue, Kai shouted. "Here ites!"


    *Bang!*


    The magical beasts were thrown off to the air, and the frozen corpses were splintered on the ground as a huge mole made its appearance.


    "This is quite big, and the strength is powerful," Kaimented before taking another deep breath andunching himself to the mole.


    The mole noticed Kai''s movement and waved his ws, sending three crescent-shaped waves toward him.


    "!!!" Kai furrowed his eyebrows and struck these three, cutting them down. Although the force between it wasn''t really that big, the mole''s next move made him speechless.


    It was waving his two ws in every direction, grazing all the rooms until the ceiling suddenly dropped upon them.


    "!!!" Kai looked up and tried to avoid this one.


    Michelle created a shadow wall to hold the giant stone, Sofia built two ice hands that hold the stone, and Ayaka made a fire to catch it.


    And they seeded in stopping the stone while ncing at Kai, who needed to leave because they needed to drop it soon or their magic would be depleted.


    Kai nodded and leaped, but he didn''t escape. Instead, he was heading toward the mole because he deemed this mole as dangerous.


    However, Tasha suddenly shouted. "Don''t go there!"


    Kai nced at Tasha before finding a magic circle right below the giant stone as the trio dropped the stone. The pink magic circle then teleported the stone right above the mole.


    "Eat your own attack, you idiot beast!" Tasha shouted and made a smug smile.


    Because of this, Kai turned around and retreated while killing a few magical beasts on his way.


    The mole looked up and never expected to see the giant stone to fall upon himself. His w started sparking yellow lightning as it struck the giant boulder, shattering it into pieces.


    "What the hell?" Kai opened his eyes wide as he couldn''t believe the mole could actually shatter that huge stone. Even the girls unconsciously dropped their jaws.


    "Sofia! Are you sure the mole is weaker than the beast?"


    "No, I think it''s true," Kai replied. "Taking another look at the mole, I believe everything about it is weak except that magic power and w. In that case, it''s time to dismember it, so it can''t use his w before killing it."


    Kai ran toward the mole while avoiding the smaller stone pieces that flew in all directions. This was aplete mess, but he still needed to persist. He even used his left hand to create a shield while avoiding this, making his way to the mole unscathed.


    The mole showed its teeth toward Kai before striking with his w. It shattered the ground as well, creating a small hole on the floor, but Kai didn''t care about this as he used his Sound st to boost his speed, reaching the speed that shocked the mole.


    "Ke?!" The mole nced to the right before noticing one of his arms had already disappeared from his body.


    Kai didn''t stop there. He went around behind the mole and took his other arm. This happened within two seconds, making the mole unable to react.


    "I should have done this from the beginning." Kai sighed before appearing right before the mole. He kicked the mole with all his strength, knocking it down.


    He looked at the juicy target (his chest) to strike as heunched himself again with the Sound st. However, the mole retaliated by moving his feet in all directions. It also had ws, and obviously, it could still make the same attack. But this time, the consequences were far more terrifying.


    The waves hit the ground, the wall, and the ceiling.


    *Rumble Rumble!*


    Kai listened to the ground in his surroundings and noticed the rumbling sound had turned into something far dangerous.


    "The cave will copse!" Kai shouted to Tasha. "Gather around me and teleport us to the surface."


    They obviously didn''t want to be buried underground, so they immediately stood beside Kai as Tasha made the Teleportation Magic Circle.


    The next second, they were already on the surface, looking around their surroundings because they didn''t know their current position.


    Other than the loud sounding from the crumbling cave, Kai spotted a few moreing.


    "Two o''clock. Five foxes areing. Michelle will take care of that. In the opposite direction, there are four horsesing. I will leave it to you, Sofia." Kai then looked up, finding a flock of birds. "There are around thirty birds in the sky. They have spotted us. Tasha will shoot them down from the ground while Ayaka will follow me to the sky."


    As soon as he finished ordering them, Michelle and Sofia immediately leaped toward their respective directions. Tasha looked up and pulled her bow while Ayaka summoned her wings. When thetter wanted to grab Kai to fly to the sky, Kai was already up there, making the birds focus on him.


    He justunched himself using the Sound st, but the moment he reached his peak and was about to fall down, a magic circle appeared beneath his feet, stopping him mid-air.


    "That is…" Tasha widened her eyes and smiled. "That must be his Sound Levitation."


    Ayaka noticed that as well but appeared next to him first before ncing at his Sound Levitation Magic Circle.


    ording to Kai, that Sound Levitation Magic Circle was hard to find. After all, he couldn''t make the volume too high if he didn''t want to be deaf and a few other problems that he had told the group. In the end, he created a high-frequency sound to maintain himself mid-air.


    It was kind of like his Sound Oscition, but he tried to amplify it. It took him trial and error to check whether it was working without harming his body or not since a sound weapon was known as a dangerous weapon that could cause permanent damage if one got radiated by it. Fortunately, he seeded and found the perfect frequency, intensity and other things, allowing him to float himself in the sky.


    When he just seeded, he wanted to lift a heavier thing, but there was a limit to it. He couldn''t really lift a huge magical beast like he did with Sound st because whatever he tried to float will start deforming if he used it continuously for a few minutes.


    Luckily, his Sound st didn''t have this problem because he only used it for an instant, so unless it created a sonic boom that could create a powerful shock wave, his body should be fine.


    Because of this, he somehow got enough understanding for the next magic he wanted to develop. He smiled and pointed his sword against the birds. "Now, let''s start by butchering you, alright?"
