Chapter 277: An Assassin? (1/2)

”Time to hunt.” Kai smiled. Michelle was still sticking in his body to increase his power, while Tasha was following right before them.

There was another female beside him. She had elegant long purple hair, and the mole on top of her right lips made her appear unique. It was complimented more by the weapon of her choice, two pistols.

”Sir Kai Carter, which is our target?”

Kai was a bit unsure whether to answer her because he didn't know whether someone would hear about it, so he shook his head. ”As much as I want to answer your question, can you believe me and follow me?”

”…” The woman thought for a moment. She recalled the scene where she was meeting general Jose in the base. It was when she was working inside her office that the general visited her. She said, ”I have a mission for you. I can't say much at this point in time, but I want you to follow every order Kai Carter made on the battlefield and assist him in any way possible. The tide of battle will depend entirely on his effort.”

Although it confused her, Jose never spoke that highly to anyone, including herself. She usually would beat someone up with her words filled with insults about their incompetence, so she knew it must be something very important.

Hence, the woman nodded. ”I, Rila, will follow your command. The other soldiers have prepared for the worst as well.”

”I hope we don't meet something like that.” Kai smiled and continued his way toward the magical beasts. ”And make sure you keep up with my pace so as to minimize the casualties in our side.”

”Understood.”

”A few meters left… Ready your weapons!” Kai shouted as he thought. 'Michelle!'

'I am here.' Michelle replied.

Kai was using his own swords again, but dark energy suddenly covered its blade as he waved his swords downwards.

”Shadow Slash!”

The two dark waves traveled on the ground, cutting the magical beasts. Yet, it didn't penetrate that much, especially when it stopped the moment it struck the tenth magical beasts.

”Strike!”

”Ooh!”

Kai and the soldiers began penetrating the magical beast's rank, closing in on the professor.

The professor widened his eyes at this moment. He never thought Kai Carter would come to this place because his information told him that he would be fighting the S rank magical beast. And the fact that he came here… ”Did… Did he already kill the spider?”

Kai's penetrating speed wasn't a joke. Within just a minute, he had come halfway through their left wing. Within three to four minutes, he might arrive in front of him.

The professor immediately gritted his teeth and shouted. ”Kill him! Anyone, kill him! Magical beasts surround him and ram him to death. We will win if we kill him!”

”!!!” The fighter he left in that area immediately turned around, but Paolo seemed to have been waiting for this moment.

As soon as he saw the change in their movement, he immediately shouted. ”All soldiers! You have been waiting for this moment! Use all of your strength and kill them all!”

”Yes, Sir!” They shouted in unison while swinging their weapons. With that roar earlier, the battlefield suddenly moved as Paolo's army began pushing back their enemy.

It also forced the fighter from the professor's side to stop the enemy instead of chasing Kai.

Due to this, Kai had an even easier time penetrating their ranks. The disorganized magical beasts became the perfect target.

The two thousand soldiers closed in, and if one observed them closely, they would see many parts of magical beasts flying around.

Kai and Rila used all their strength to keep up their pace while the soldiers behind them made sure the surrounding magical beasts didn't destroy their formation. In fact, this was the reason why Kai wanted to have a fast pace.

With a pace like this, the enemies wouldn't have a chance to react properly, allowing Kai to do anything. The only way to solve this was by sending a strong fighter with a huge number, but the Professor had sent all of his fighters to handle Paolo's and his officers.

There was no way he could stop Kai's momentum.

”Swarm him! Just swarm him!”

The professor was scared out of his life despite having the power of the zodiac, specifically from the protector's blood itself.

Some magical beasts turned to another direction to stop Kai's advance, but Kai's advance here… Was like that of a bullet, penetrating through the enemy's ranks at unbelievable speed.

*Bam Bam Bam!*

He cut down all the magical beasts in his way with his own strength, sending them flying in all directions.

Even Paolo, who was causing a stir among the enemies, was impressed by his skill.

Kai Carter still continued with his momentum as if these magical beasts were nothing but something that he would slaughter in an instant.

And for the second time in one day, Kai would betray all expectations.
