Kai's group entered the hill area with lightning speed, killing every single flying beast that ca their way.
As one would expect from an elite group, they were really reliable.
Seeing this progress, Sarah quickly shouted, "Hold your position everyone. Our reinforcent has arrived! They will arrive at the top in two minutes, so use everything you have in these two minutes!"
"Yes!"
Although she said those words, she sucked a cold breath because even with Kai's group, it was not enough to deal with two intelligent beasts.
"Boom!"
"Shit!" Sarah turned around only to find the two magical beasts closing to her position. It would seem they wanted to kill her first. "This is going to be a brutal fight… If we can't hold them on this hill, they will start swarming the general's army before sweeping the middle and right armies…"
"Boom!" She slapped the octopus's tentacle away with her spear. Although she could fight the octopus to a standstill, it was hard for her to defeat this octopus because of the lack of firepower. Besides, the soldiers around her started dying before they could even get healed by Evan.
"We are going to retreat to our last line of defense!" She shouted.
"!!!" As soon as they heard 'Last line of defense,' they knew the situation beca pretty dangerous. Without wasting any ti, they quickly blew the enemy away and climbed the cliff.
The gunners started raining their bullet, halting the beasts advance.
The sea creatures started climbing the hill as Sarah roared. "Set them on fire!"
"Boom Boom Boom!"
A series of explosions ca out of the ground. Just like Jack, Sarah also utilized everything in their possession. It might not be cost-effective, but it was enough for stopping their advance for a few seconds with a wall of dead magical beasts.
Within those few seconds, the elites group finally arrived.
"We are through!" Roga roared as they successfully climbed the hill.
Kai checked the military students' position and found them not far from the foot of the hill. In around five minutes or so, they should arrive in this place. With five hundred more gunners, he could see a working plan.
"For now, the group will split into two. The first group will fight the flying beasts while preventing them from reaching our gunners, the other group will stop the magical beasts advance.
"Roger!" No one had any complaint about Kai anymore after seeing his conduct, strength, and bravery. Instead, their heart filled with respect.
"Bam!"
The wall was shattered by three existences, an octopus, a turtle, and a lobster. The octopus was Sarah's opponent, so Kai quickly turned to the turtle.
"I am going to fight with the turtle while you stop the octopus. Thirty gunners should aim at the lobster!" Kai commanded the army as he raised both of his swords while advancing toward the turtle.
He had a few reasons why he wanted to fight the turtle. Firstly because of its size. With five ters in height alone, under the turtle were many magical beasts. As long as he took it down, he could kill all the magical beasts below him and created a superior wall on this hill. The other reason was because of its speed. Although it had a considerable speed, it was still too slow for him and his ears.
So, he decided to fight it instead of the lobster. Besides, he could aim at its feet since the turtle might suddenly enter its house and kill the magical beasts.
With those objectives in mind, Kai leaped toward the back of the turtle without any magical beasts hindering him.
The first spot would be the turtle's eyes.
As he expected, the turtle went inside the shell, albeit it was only the head. This clearly told him that his plan failed.
After having the first plan failed, he quickly went to its leg and sliced it with his sword.
*Clang*
Kai opened his mouth in surprise, not expecting that his sword broke at a ti like this. "How hard is this turtle…"
"What should I do with this turtle. I can't even cut its skin, let alone its shell. If only I had a vibration sword…" Kai thought about it while looking around the turtle while muttering to himself, "And I still need to fight the lobster…"
"Bam!"
Despite having been shot by many gunners, the lobster continued rampaging around because no one could stop him with that hard shell. In fact, the small bullet would never pierce its shell.
It killed many fighters while climbing the cliff.
On the other hand, Evan was treating many soldiers at a ti. All of them were fighters that needed to fight in the front line again if they wanted to win, so he didn't have the ti to care about anything besides him… except that mont ca…
"Bam."
"Guah!" The lobsters shattered the fighters' formation as it looked at Evan while pounding its claw at Evan.
"Oh, sh*t!" Evan couldn't help but throw a curse at this point.
…
In the middle army, Tasha shot every single blue light that was coming toward the army, preventing it from attacking their army.
Luckily, the beast itself didn't have any intention to co closer, so while she took down the blue light, she had so spare ti to kill a few magical beasts.
It was at this ti she suddenly felt sothing amiss. The position of battle, the timing, and the unexpected magical beasts, it felt like all of that ca so perfectly.
'Is soone commanding them? No, there should be no one capable in commanding magical beasts…' Tasha couldn't help but think this. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she thought, the answer would never co.
"Michelle!"
Michelle, whose na was called, glanced at the voice direction and confused as to why Tasha suddenly called her na. "What?"
"Co to this place right now. Sothing is not right," Tasha said with a serious expression, making it hard for Michelle to reject.
Michelle didn't have any specific obligation in the army, so she quickly left the battlefield and leaped to Tasha. "What is it?"
"Electric Lance." Before answering her, she noticed another blue light and shot it down.
"Boom!"
"Everything is not right on this battlefield. Don't you feel everything is very coincidental? It's like we are fighting a human who controls magical beasts…"
"..." Michelle fell into silence, looked down, and pondered sothing over. "I feel I have read sothing like this sowhere… Hmm, the report says there is actually soone that controls magical beasts… but we don't know if it's a human or sothing else."
"Sothing else?" Tasha furrowed her eyebrows.
"I don't know." Michelle shook her head and sighed. "I don't read that information, so I don't know a single thing, and it might only be a rumor."
"Even so, just like how Kai acts this whole ti, I fear there is sothing bad worrying him… Just take a look at when he wanted to reinforce the left army. Don't you think it's strange?"
"!!!" Michelle finally realized what Tasha was talking about. "I see… So your point is soone who might be able to control magical beasts, intrude this battle, and Kai goes to the left army to see it? Finding it was too dangerous, he went there by himself…"
"Yeah. This is what I thought." Tasha bit her lips before creating another electric lance to shoot down another attack.
"True enough. If it's the normal him, he should ask one of us to accompany him. Besides, Evan and Teacher Sanae are in that place…" Michelle paused and fell into deep thought. "I should go there…"
"That might be our choice. You can leave this place to . Considering my opponent is a snail that can only shoot out that light blue thing, I can kill it sooner or later with my lightning. I need to release my power though." Tasha wanted to go, but she also needed to see the bigger picture.
Sadly, they only guessed half of his original intention right.
"I will tell that person first before you teleport ."
"Sure."
Michelle disappeared for one minute before reappearing in front of her.
"Are you ready?"
"Yeah."
"Teleportation!" She snapped her finger, creating a pink magic circle for Michelle.
"Be careful." Michelle smiled.
"You too." Tasha nodded before her eyes turned sharp, looking at the snail. She drew her bow, pointing at the sky.
"Lightning Storm." The arrow flew to the sky right above the snail as it slowly beca a catalyst to create a purple magic circle. A bolt of lightning struck forth, blasting the snail.
anwhile, Michelle had arrived on top of the hill.
"Tch." She looked around and noticed that she was teleported in the middle of the battlefield.
"Michelle?" Below her was Kai and a giant turtle, fighting in a useless battle.
"Kai! What are you-"
Before finishing her words, Kai cut in by saying, "Let's talk later. You deal with this intelligent A rank turtle, I need to go sowhere else!"
Kai didn't wait for her to reply and quickly leap toward the lobster.
"Wait- Argh!" Michelle gritted her teeth and threw a shadow weapon to Kai.
"Thanks."
She swung both of her swords on this turtle shell as soon as she landed. "It's because of you!"
"Shadow Slash!"
"Roar!"
Unfortunately, the slash didn't do anything. Instead, the turtle suddenly whacked Michelle with its tail.
"!!!" Michelle sensed the incoming tail and blocked it with her sword, albeit the force still blew her away before crashing to the ground.
"Boom."
The dust kicked up. Behind the dust was Michelle wiping the blood flow that ca out of her mouth.
