Chapter 326: Confirmed (1/2)

The green poison that came out of the alpaca's mouth melted the ground.

Kai didn't blink as he somehow managed to create his Oscillation Shield and boosted its power a little bit. Normally, it would only reduce the impact coming from an attack, but because he poured more magic power, it was able to deflect the spat from earlier, throwing it back to the alpaca.

Unfortunately, unlike his Sound Blast, the Oscillation Shield couldn't blow it away, so most of the poison fell to the ground instead of hitting the alpaca. Nonetheless, the alpaca had died under Kai's blade, and he somehow managed to escape unscathed.

”Seriously?!” Kai took a few deep breaths before turning around.

Evan's heart skipped a beat when he saw that and felt he was pretty lucky to avoid that.

”Captain, are you alright?!”

”I'm good. Focus on defeating the rest first and head to the other two. I will explain later.” Kai commanded while slashing the magical beasts.

Evan nodded and started picking up his pace, killing them at a faster rate than Kai.

In just three minutes, they finally finished dealing with all the beasts.

”How is your stamina?” Kai asked as soon as they finished.

”I am good.” Evan nodded, assuring him by waving his hand nonchalantly.

”That's good then. Follow me. I will explain on the way.”

”I understand.”

The two then headed toward the southeast, where they would separate at a certain point to fight their respective battle.

”I am glad that your shield is fast enough. I am not sure if I can regrow something that has melted, you know.”

”Yeah. That's why poison might be the most dangerous thing in the world.” He nodded. ”Anyway, my Oscillation Shield activation is faster than Sound Blast, so it's convenient. Unfortunately, it doesn't hold the same strength.”

”I see. That's why you often use your shield instead of Sound Blast even though it's stronger.”

”Their purpose is different too, so I don't want to be reliant on one magic.”

”I can see that.”

”Anyway, your enemy is over there. There is a chance that the enemy might ignore you and chase after me, so if you can, you should assassinate it at that time.”

”I understand. Well, you only have fifteen minutes to kill the leader and the rest of the magical beasts. Do you think you can?”

”I am not sure now. From what I have seen, the magical beasts are becoming smarter than ever. I don't know what caused it, but that's the case. Just like earlier, where the dying ape released the last bit of its strength to grab my feet. The monster this time might be more troublesome than we expected.”

”Hmm? But can't you avoid the movement by listening to them?”

”I can, but do you think I have prepared a scenario where they choose to bring me down together? At the very least, I can prepare a minimum counterattack, but there are too many possibilities on how to bring an enemy down together with a hundred beasts… At the very least, I need to make a simulation battle in my head first, albeit we don't have that much time.” He let out a long sigh.

”I see.”

”Anyway, it's time to go on our way.” Kai reminded him.

”Good luck to you.” Evan smiled and stomped the ground as he changed his direction according to Kai's.

Kai, on the other hand, kept running straight and only adjusted the angle of his direction a little bit to match the movement of the magical beasts.

Not long after, the group finally came into his vision as he checked on them first.

'Should I use my Sound Insulation Room so the magical beasts on Evan's side don't make an unpredictable move?' Kai muttered while observing the enemies.

The leader this time was a chinchilla. Just like the previous experiences, the chinchilla had the size of half-human, looking very ferocious.

And this time, the fur was red along with the eyes.

”Cruck!” Suddenly, a magical beast informed the chinchilla of Kai's position.

”I am found out?” Kai narrowed his eyes, seeing how it ordered the magical beasts to charge in his direction.

At the same time, it released a few fireballs toward Kai and had it explode around him, preventing him from going around.

”As expected, this guy is seriously becoming smarter… I need to prepare for the worst then.” Kai let out a long sigh and checked everything in his surroundings.
