Chapter 365: Meeting the Pink Dolphin (2/2)

Michelle thought for a moment while stroking her chin. ”This is indeed something hard to swallow, but I don't have the necessary knowledge to see whether it's a lie or not. So, the reason why you want to meet the shadow is to get the recognition from another protector, right?”

”Yes. I want to see whether I am really a protector or not. This will come with a big risk, but I would rather confirm this first before everything bad happens.” Kai nodded with a serious expression.

”I know. I will accompany you in this meeting.” Michelle finally agreed.

”Same.” Tasha nodded in agreement. ”When are we leaving?”

”Tonight. I want to properly face them before everything starts.”

”Alright.”

They then proceeded to build the tents and putting down the supplies. Two hours later, the group finally returned to the top after killing hundreds of magical beasts.

After that, the group had their dinner and proceeded to rest with two people guarding the area.

Kai, Tasha, and Michelle gathered outside the tent. It seemed all of them noticed their plan and instantly walked toward them.

Kai looked at them with a serious expression and said solemnly. ”If neither of us returns by tomorrow, you all will abandon this mission and go back to the Base. Tell my teacher that the Human Race is in danger.”

”What—” Evan wanted to shout because he didn't understand him, but Ayaka stopped him. Although it felt a bit hurt that Kai didn't tell her anything, it was enough to see he brought Tasha and Michelle with him. It would strengthen his strength anyway.

”I understand. But don't make me drag your ghost from hell.” Ayaka glared at him.

”Yeah. Thanks.” Kai smiled.

He waved his hand, turned around, and walked to the darkness, descending the hill.

When they couldn't see him anymore, Michelle entered his shadow. The power from the night strengthened him and became twice as strong.

After that, Tasha used her Teleportation Magic, and they arrived near the river where the scouts found the meeting between the dolphin and the shadow.

”This is the place.” Tasha pointed downwards.

”Yes. Thank you.” Kai nodded and scanned the entire area before he noticed a huge number of magical beasts had surrounded them. ”Prepare for battles.”

They took out their weapons and saw many glowing eyes inside the woods, and some even waited for him inside the river.

”Tasha, ready your Teleportation Magic.”

When the light from the magic circle brightened the darkness a bit, they finally saw the beasts' figures and furrowed their eyebrows.

He thought that the shadow must have prepared for him and wanted to attack him. Else, how could they anticipate their movements?

Suddenly, Kai noticed something different from these beasts. Even though they gathered around him, they had no intention of charging at them as if they were just statues.

However, the surprise didn't end there. The beasts lowered their heads as if greeting the three.

'Lower your weapons, youngsters. They mean no harm.' A man-voice rang in their heads as if it was sent by telepathy.

Kai immediately looked around and searched for where the sound came from, but the fact it came straight to his mind, he couldn't find it, so the source of the voice said another thing.

'No need to be wary of me. I mean no harm. Try to look at the river. I am there.'

Kai and the two turned around and looked at the river with their night visions, finding a dolphin coming out of the river.

'Hello. I have been waiting for you.'

He remembered that the dolphin had a powerful hearing, and with the distance that wasn't so big between their hill and the river, he realized that the dolphin must have heard everything he said.

'You want to see us, right? Yes, you can. But only you. As much as I want to say another thing, you two need to leave.' The dolphin nodded.

”!!!” Kai widened his eyes as he knew that the dolphin already found Michelle, who was inside his body.

Michelle came out and Tasha turned around, looking at him to ask what they should do.

Kai thought for a moment and clenched his fists. ”You two should return.”

”But…” Tasha and Michelle obviously didn't like it. The dolphin looked harmless, but he seemed to be strong, so they didn't feel safe leaving Kai here.

However, Kai was adamant and asked them to leave again. ”Please.”

It was a hard choice, but Tasha decided to use her Teleportation Magic and send them back to the top of the hill, leaving Kai alone.

Kai then looked at the dolphin. ”Nice to meet you.”

”Yeah. Nice to meet you. The human race finally has its protector again after thousands of years.”
