The Magician of Sound - Chapter 542

“It’s my pleasure to meet the Human Race Protector, Kai Carter.” Tris smiled and looked Kai in the eyes.

“I have many questions, but I want to make sure… They are going to be fine, right?” Kai made a weird smile while pointing at the people behind him.

“Of course.” Tris nodded. “I am here just to stop the war according to the ancient pact… Well, my mentor asked me to do it, so yeah…”

“Thank you.” Kai thanked him with a serious expression. He knew how bad the situation would continue if Tris didn’t stop them. In fact, he had prepared to use his Ultrasonic Assassin to create a powerful blast in the middle of the enemy.

Now that he had learned how to control his power and became even stronger, he thought he could withstand the full force of his Ultrasonic Assassin for a little bit longer. At least, he wanted to injure the enemies as much as possible, forcing them to retreat.

This attack should contain the same amount of power as Ria’s God Killing Arrow. After all, Ultrasonic Assassin was something he created in order to drag the enemy down with him. It would create a powerful Sound Wave that would flatten the entire battlefield.

He had used this magic once inside the simulation world, but the effect was far less than he expected because no simulation world could understand the magic he used.

He took that as the conclusion because the theory and the simulation were too much different.

Thus, Kai believed this magic could repel the enemy if not kill them.

Luckily, he didn’t have the chance to do it or else he truly didn’t know what would happen.

Tris tilted his head in confusion, not understanding why Kai thanked him. Either way, he had completed his job, so he wanted to wrap the matter up. “I need to tell you three things before leaving. First, don’t engage in any fight within a year.

“This path of yours is going to be filled with blood, so this is my last warning to you. However, if you decide to keep threading in this path, you need to see it through.

“The second thing I want you to know is this…” Tris closed his eyes as a yellow crystal, just a bit bigger than a marble, came out of his head. “You should get your own crown within one year or you won’t be able to protect humanity. I am not supporting violence, but this matter is already too far to be stopped, so at least I want you to get equal standing with them.

“Last but not least, I’m going to watch every single one of your battles to the very end no matter the result.” Tris turned around as he began to fly away. “Whatever the result, please remember that you are my friend.”

“…” Kai opened his eyes wide, surprised by Tris’ words. However, no words came out of his words as he saw Tris going away.

“Female human, you too… Your power is too great to the point you are going to share his burden. It will take your life sooner or later. You may find regrets in the future, but I can see that you’re going to be alright.” Tris sighed as he became even farther.

Kai remained silent, watching Tris’ back before he got telepathy coming inside his mind. A message that only he could hear.

“Master wants to meet you within a month. You should meet her. I am sure you can learn many things from her as the Human Race Protector. I hope we can meet again together with that lazy girl…”

After saying those words, Tris sped up.

Kai couldn’t help but remember what happened back then. Although he was too serious the entire time, he actually enjoyed the conversation they had together.

Tris was like his mentor, teaching him various information while making a joke every now and then. Clot, the Mapunguari, kept complaining, but she never left until the conversation was over. No, it was already surprising to see her coming to that meeting.

Still, what Kai could think at the moment was…

“…” Kai fell silent, looking at the soldiers finally regaining their consciousness again. For the first time in his life, Kai had this feeling in his heart. It was suppression.

Back when he dealt with the Katsuragi Family, he wanted to see Ishii’s strength, so he used that kind of cheap provocation to get Ishii to use his strength.

It was successful, but it certainly gave him a rough idea of what a protector could do.

However, what Tris could do simply shattered that image in his mind.

It turned out Ishii merely used a portion of his strength to crush one of their strongest fighters. It looked effortless and didn’t create quite a commotion or aftermath.

Ishii even put everything back as if nothing happened.

However, after seeing Tris’ power, he had another idea. If Ishii were serious and planned to crush him, the entire army of three hundred thousand people would be crushed within one skill.

Ishii only needed to wave his hand down and used his overwhelming Telekinesis to turn this place into a crater.

‘What kind of power does the Protector actually possess? Why do they keep this kind of power? Where is the source of this power? How does it turn and manifest for the Protector to use? When was this power manifested on Earth? And who actually made this power?’

Six questions appeared in his mind, yet, none had an answer. All he had were two clues.

‘I don’t know anything yet, but the reason why Tris wanted me to get the ‘Crown’ as soon as possible is that this is the power. If I don’t want to die, I need to possess this power too.’ Kai thought for a moment. ‘And the Whale Queen seems to have the answers from me. Should I come to her right away? No, I have a month, so I should proceed carefully.’

Seeing Kai silent this whole time, Ria furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Kai, you alright?”

Kai glanced at her and nodded. “Yeah. I just have too many things to process right now.”

“Well, I am the same, but…” Ria smiled and patted his shoulders. “No matter what, I will always be your teacher and foster parent. Even if you don’t recognize me anymore, I shall stand by you. Even if the whole world calls you a monster, I will boldly and proudly claim that you are my disciple and my son.”

Kai made a genuine smile and said, “Thank you, Teacher. That means the world to me. You will always be my teacher and parent.”

Ria stopped talking and patted his shoulders a few more times before turning around to the army while looking at his eyes.

“…” Kai scratched the back of his head, knowing what she was implying.

“What is happening?”

“Where is the enemy?”

“We just fought them a moment ago, but we couldn’t find anything in a flash?”

“What just happened?”

“There are so many traces of our battles, including their footsteps.”

“They are running away?”

The generals were as confused as the S Rank Magicians and soldiers. No one understood what was happening other than Kai and Ria, who witnessed everything.

Tris had even erased their memory about him, ensuring everyone was clueless.

Kai let out a long sigh as he muttered, “I guess I will have a lot of things to do.”
