Chapter 422: Counter Attack (1/2)
After getting the news about the sudden appearance of an S Rank, every single soldier was moved.
In Nebraska's Military Base, many soldiers began entering the aircraft, from helicopters to military aircraft, preparing for a big war.
In another military base, the situation was the same as they flew in succession, heading straight toward California.
Even Kai's teacher, Ria Ross, wasn't spared in this.
Another general that usually focused on maintaining the orders within each base suddenly appeared inside an auditorium. There were around fifty people inside with a star on their shoulders and four out of them had four stars.
However, there were some who couldn't attend this meeting, so they actually made a video call, so they could participate in the briefing as well since those people were on their way toward California.
”I am sure that you all are currently in a mess, but the base is currently facing a catastrophic level threat; an S Rank Magical Beast has appeared in California.” The man began his explanation as he pointed at the large screen behind him, showing the mole's appearance.
”However, due to the sudden powerful earthquake that hit us a while ago, this mole suddenly appeared out of nowhere. According to the information, we speculated that the mole and the others had been staying underground, far from us to the point that they wouldn't mess with us.
”That's… The initial state. Unfortunately, everything changed when the earthquake hit. Although we didn't have the data right now, we concluded that something must have happened underground in the fault lines, harming these beasts' habitat.
”With the mole in charge of this group, they went to the surface. There are already more than two hundred thousand beasts in the area and the number keeps increasing every second. But that's not the most important thing. What we need to worry about is the mole.
”We have suspected that the mole is an S Rank Magical Beast.” His last statement shook the entire room as they widened their eyes in shock. ”Before you complain, I will show you the video that General Rain took in the battle.”
The screen changed into a video where Kai and the others appeared in it.
”Wait… Isn't that…” Many recognized his appearance as they looked at Ria Ross.
”Yes. That's my student, Kai Carter.” Ria acknowledged it and watched the video.
The video showed Kai attempted to cut that mole in every way possible with the help of his teammates. Rain also helped him while recording the footage by blocking every single attack from the mole with his barrier.
”That mole is dangerous,” said Ria with a serious expression. ”And it's no doubt an S Rank Magical Beast.”
Because the people might suspect her showing favoritism, the host asked. ”May I know the basis of your statement, General Ria Ross?”
”What my student used in the video was called Super Sonic Sword. It's basically a high vibration sword coupled with the power of a Sonic Boom… The phenomenon when you surpass the sound speed.
”With only the Vibration Sword, he managed to injure the S Rank Spider back in Argentina. Yet, an upgraded version couldn't even graze that mole. I think I don't need to explain more, right?”
The people were shocked. Obviously, everyone had heard about Kai Carter's achievement during that battle and the statement about the hardness of the spider's shell. Hence, they concluded that Kai Carter also had one of the most powerful offensive magicians in the base.
If such a person couldn't even graze it, there was only a glimmer of people who had the potential to do it.
Suddenly, a General raised his hand, asking. ”There should be another S Rank Magician called Tasha Carter, right? Why doesn't she just teleport the mole to the sea?”
Everyone thought it was a solid question, but the host showed another video. ”There is another thing that I want to show you. I'm sure that you have heard about her making the battlefield have weather called Magical Beast Rain, right? She basically teleported the magical beast to the sky and had it died like that. And when she did it this time, something absurd happened…Take a look at this video.”
The video changed. This time, Tasha used her Teleportation Magic and sent the mole to the sky. With that height, the mole should at least suffer an injury, so they thought it would be like that.
However, the mole proved them wrong. A stone pillar emerged from the ground, piercing through the sky.
It even reached the mole's height as it grabbed the pillar and descended to the ground at high speed.
Kai cut the pillar down with the help of Michelle, but it was futile. The mole had reached enough distance to the ground as it leaped to the air, creating a powerful shock wave that destroyed the area around it and… Yeah, uninjured.
”They have tried to do this. Looking at the pillar height, we can safely assume that the mole can create a bridge on the sea. At that time, we won't be able to predict where the mole will go. And there is also a threat from the sea and a tsunami on top of that. There is already a prediction that the tsunami will hit in another twenty minutes. We don't know what will happen to this fight, so all of you are hereby to go toward the battlefield.
”Prioritize the ice and earth magicians to stop the tsunami by creating a barrier. Eliminate all the magical beasts in the surrounding so as to lower the number of casualties. I will be sending your post after this. And one last thing, this is a message from the President.”
