Chapter 473: New Fighting Style (1/2)
The anglerfish jumped forward and slashed his sword.
Kai took another look at the sword and realized it wasn't a normal sword. He further confirmed it by striking the sword with his Super Sonic Sword, which didn't even leave a single scratch.
”Hmm…” He narrowed his eyes and said, ”I see. Someone's skin, huh.”
The anglerfish didn't say anything, but that smug smile of his already told him pretty much the answer.
Before he released another sword, the clam charged at him with his shield in front. He planned to ram him so the anglerfish could slash him.
Kai took a deep breath, raised his sword and waited for the clam to arrive. This obviously grabbed their attention as they raised their vision, leaving a blind spot coming from below. It was at this time Kai raised his left foot and kicked the clam's shield or more likely its shell with all his might.
On his boot were two magic circles. The first magic circle was below his shoes, where it generated the power, while the other one was covering his shoes to direct the Sound Wave to go to a certain area he designated.
This was the result of his training in the Emulda Kalan. He named this magic as…
”Echo Thruster.”
Despite his naming sense, the power was a real deal. The generated Sonic Boom released all its might straight to the shield.
A shock wave flew out of the clam's body as if the Sound Wave just went through his body. Even the clam couldn't help but scream when his hand felt the excruciating pain inflicted by the Sound Wave before he got launched several meters away.
”Guah!”
”Oi, Hatker!” The anglerfish's body shuddered as he turned around to see his teammate.
Unfortunately for him, an action like this wasn't something Kai would pass on. He used his second sword to strike the blade from above until the anglerfish's sword stuck on the ground.
”Not good.” The anglerfish widened his eyes and saw Kai raise his other sword to strike him.
When the Kai struck his body, the blade only cracked a bit of the anglerfish's hard skin.
”I worried for nothing, huh.” The anglerfish smirked, knowing Kai wouldn't be able to kill him in one stroke.
However, a magic circle appeared on Kai's handle as the sword vibrated once more, creating a loud ringing sound.
”Sonokinetic Blade.”
Ding.
In that instant, Kai's sword continued on its path, sliding on the anglerfish's body before the anglerfish suddenly flew away.
”Guah!” Just like the clam, the anglerfish felt extreme pain on his chest before he saw his hard skin was cracked and some even started bleeding. At the same time, Kai's attack actually released a kind of crescent-shaped sword wave that launched him into the air.
He realized Kai managed to trap his own Sound Wave and formed this crescent-shaped energy that looked like it was surrounded by the wind.
But this sharp Sound Wave was none other than his Sonic Boom. He simply directed the Sonic Boom forward.
Trees upon trees fell down as the anglerfish's body destroyed their trunks on its way. He continued to fly for two seconds before falling down to the ground, rolling a few times until he stopped.
Kai smiled and looked at their conditions. If this were him from the past, he wouldn't be able to fight against these two at all. He would only be suppressed while searching for a way to escape. This would also lead Roselyn and Sofia into danger, so he was glad he managed to learn many things from Arba.
Kai smiled and took a deep breath, feeling a bit restless since he hadn't gotten used to controlling the direction of his Sound Wave. It took a toll on his mind, so he planned to end this fight quickly.
”What just happened?” The clam rose from the ground and looked at Kai, who seemed to be able to repel them. No, they were the ones who couldn't stand against him.
”You… What did you do?” The anglerfish, Yuba, stood up and roared, coming to him with a serious expression. Although the damage was only on his physical body, it was still shocking for Kai to defeat them in one exchange.
”After fighting you all for so long, don't you think it's time for me to step up my game and beat you this time? I can't afford to lose continuously or rely on my teammates when your ability is restricted on the land after all.” Kai smirked and pointed his swords to them. ”Now, let's see what you guys have to offer. I alone am enough to defeat you.”
The anglerfish gritted his teeth and jumped forward since he thought he just underestimated Kai earlier. As long as he was careful, there was no way Kai would be able to defeat him.
”I will let you know our real strength!” Yuba ran to Kai with his sword in the front, planning to thrust him.
However, Hatker shouted in shock because he could see it from his position. ”Yuba. Watch out!”
Yuba widened his eyes and turned to the left, finding Roselyn coming to him. She swung her sword at Yuba's sword to stop him.
