The Magician of Sound - Chapter 556

“Hmm… There seems to be something powerful in front of us. Although I can’t say what it is, this one seems to be a beast.” Kai warned Arba. They had been continuing their journey for two more days and Kai had been improving by leaps and bounds.

There was one extra effect he got from this training. Because of them going so fast, he needed to identify all the monsters that entered his hearing range, forcing him to speed up or he couldn’t keep up.

Thus, after becoming accustomed to it, Kai could somehow feel the power from the enemy. They continued for a moment until Arba said, “Let’s have a break first.”

“Hmm?” Kai furrowed his eyebrows and asked in confusion. “Are you sure? From what I have heard, it seems to be a tiger. And there are around thirty magical beasts walking together with the tiger.”

“Yes. I’m serious.” Arba nodded without hesitation. “Judging from the wind blowing around, I’m assuming this beast is classified as SS Rank Magical Beast in your new ranking system.”

“Wind? You can even feel that?” Kai’s eyebrows twitched as he never expected Arba’s senses could be that sharp.

“I have been spreading my wind, you know.” Arba smiled and raised her hand, forming a circular wind. “This wind will allow me to sense my surroundings. Although it won’t be as good as your ears, I am able to sense them within 500 meters radius. Also, this one is more enhanced because I can judge their power level by stimulating the Magic Particles near them.”

“Ehm… I don’t understand, but I guess it’s fine.” Kai nodded. “I will deal with them.”

“I will handle the other magical beasts. You can focus on the tiger alone. I believe this is a good chance for you to test your current power,” said Arba with confidence.

“Fair enough.” Kai agreed and changed direction to where the tiger was.

It took them a few seconds to reach the tiger’s position, finding a white tiger the size of a human walking slowly in a grass plain. There were other Magical Beasts surrounding the tiger, but Arba already launched herself to them.

Bam.

The ground turned into a small crater as Arba laughed. “Hahaha. Come here, little babies. I’m going to kill you.”

“Language. You don’t kill babies.” Kai shook his head helplessly. He saw Arba forming a tornado that launched all the magical beasts away to the side, leaving the tiger alone.

Kai quickly made his way between them, so the tiger could focus on him.

“Still, a white tiger, huh… Albinism? I don’t see the white stripes, so I guess I was right…” Kai narrowed his eyes. “If I’m not wrong, a white tiger is a kind of legendary beast in Asia. I forget which country has that legend though… Either way, I guess its reputation is well deserved. This guy is an SS Rank magical beast, only one step away from the SSS Rank beast. If it’s a protector, it would have become half god for Tiger Race.”

Roar.

The white tiger released a powerful and loud roar while Kai replied with another roar in his language. “(We don’t have a grudge. But I want to have a spar with you. Besides, my subordinates are just playing with yours, else, she would have killed them. I apologize for this, but I don’t have too much time.)”

“!!!” The white tiger was surprised that Kai could use his own language. The white tiger roared to reply. “(I only believe in strength. If you think you have that kind of strength, then make me submit. If you don’t have that strength, don’t blame me for killing you because you have disturbed me.)”

Kai smiled and raised his swords with a serious expression. He coated his swords with the powerful Sound Wave coming from his Sonokinetic Blade. After using it for a while, Kai had gotten used to this kind of magic and gave it a name. “Supersonic Boundary.”

“Pfft. Has anyone ever told you that your naming sucks?” Arba laughed when she heard that name.

“You better shut up or I’m going to ask for a recorded statement about your past from Aston.” Kai looked at her coldly.

Arba gulped down and closed her mouth. She pinched her thumb and forefinger together and swept her hand from right to left as if telling him that her mouth would be closed for a while.

Kai shook his head helplessly and leaped forward with his Sound Blast. His speed went from zero to the top speed in an instant, allowing him to appear next to the tiger within a split second.

The tiger widened his eyes and leaped back instinctively, avoiding Kai’s movement before he even arrived.

Kai didn’t stop there and continued chasing him with his Supersonic Boundary Swords.

Seeing that he couldn’t outrun Kai, the tiger released blue-colored energy and covered all his four feet with it.

This allowed him to increase his speed which became even faster than Kai.

“Hoh?” Kai furrowed his eyebrows. “(This is the first time I fight a beast this fast.)”

“(You are still underestimating me.)” The white tiger roared and jumped into the air, waving all feet toward Kai.

Suddenly, twelve crescent-shaped energy flew out of them.

‘It seems each foot releases three of them.’ Kai furrowed his eyebrows and waved his sword, striking these attacks to test the might of his Supersonic Boundary.

The moment the two were about to clash, the energy from the white tiger began to bend as if Kai’s Supersonic Boundary distorted the space. However, it was only the powerful kinetic energy that pushed the energy, ultimately bending them.

At one point, the crescent-shaped energy snapped into two with the residual energy flew past Kai both to the ground and the air.

Knowing that it would be good to fight him, Kai tried to predict the tiger’s movement with his ears and started matching its movement to catch up to him.

Within a few seconds, Kai had arrived next to the tiger while saying, “I caught up with you.”

“!!!” The white tiger widened its eyes, not believing Kai’s speed was faster than him. He gritted his teeth and waved its right paw, swiping everything from behind.

Kai frowned when the energy around the white tiger began to flow according to the tiger’s movement.

Kai summoned the Oscillation Shield above him to block the Magic Power current. However, the tiger opened its mouth as if it was biting him.

The mouth was projected to the air, forming a big enough mouth to devour him in one go.

“Sonokinetic Blade.” Kai waved his hand, cutting the mouth projectile. After that, Kai thought for a moment and clicked his tongue when he saw the tiger start leaving him behind. “I guess my speed can’t be compared to you.”

“(Hmph.)” The tiger snorted and waved its paw again to the ground. Instead of an invisible current, he formed his own paw on top of his head and used it to smash Kai.

However, the latter used his sword to cut it effortlessly while saying, “Well, if my speed is not enough, I can simply raise it once more.”

“(Do you think you can do it?)” The tiger looked down on him.

“One is not enough, so I just need…” Kai smiled and increased one more Magic Circle below his foot. This Sound Blast Magic Circle added the boost and increased his speed even further. “I just need two.”

“!!!” The tiger widened its eyes and saw the incoming sword.

Clink.
