Chapter 567: Reinforcement

"Felice."

Felice only nodded while pointing at the tsunami. "I think it's better if we handle this problem first before talking. I will help you carry the building around to form a barrier."

"That's a good idea." Michelle nodded and glanced at the girls.

"Sure." Tasha and the others agreed without hesitation. Tasha stepped on the ceiling while aiming her bow. "I will be here to protect all of you. Go!"

Michelle, Ayaka and Sofia jumped off the building, heading straight to all the tall buildings in their surroundings, except for the one they used.

"Shadow…" Michelle raised her hand and formed four scythes with her shadow. Unlike the previous ones, these scythes were far bigger.

The moment she arrived in front of a building, the scythes cut down an entire floor, separating the building from its foundation.

"Felice."

"Okay." Felice raised her hand and lifted the building and put it to form a barrier.

"It's surprising you can lift this huge building. Its weight can literally crush anyone." Michelle glanced at her while searching for another building.

"Master taught me a little bit." Felice shrugged and went to Ayaka, who happened to melt the entire floor to separate the building.

She simply brought the building together until she formed a long line.

"We're ready." Felice nodded to Sofia while peeking at the tsunami held back by Arba.

Sofia nodded her head and waved her hand. "Ice World."

In the instant Sofia used her magic, the ground froze and spread to all the buildings. It created a small wall of ice that plugged all the holes from the smashed windows.

The protected soldiers saw all this in bewilderment. They never thought these few girls managed to do unbelievable things like this.

"Uoh!" They couldn't help but cheer when they saw the situation wasn't as hopeless as they thought.

Even if the enemy could summon a tsunami, they could still deal with it.

The tsunami hit the buildings and dispersed through all its holes, absorbing its power. After that, the water hit Sofia's ice and stopped.

"…" Sofia furrowed her eyebrows and turned around, shouting, "All ice and earth magicians are to build the remaining wall to isolate ourselves from all this water."

"Yes, Ma'am!" They all worked quickly after getting the instruction that entered their heads directly.

The one who transferred the information to their heads was none other than Leah. Her task was to create an information network that could work together with the radio while positioning the soldiers.

However, Sofia turned around when the wave became bigger and hit the wall with full power, splashing the water to the top. At the same time, multiple magical beasts also flew into the air.

If they let it be, the monsters would land inside the isolated area.

It was Ayaka's turn to make her appearance. She raised her hand and created an explosion in the air.

"Scarlet Explosion."

The explosion wasn't like the previous version. It contained more power and the flame that shot out from this explosion was controlled, creating multiple tentacle-like flame pillars that hit the magical beasts, blowing them away.

However, they could still hear the shock wave emanating from the explosion and Sofia decided to create another layer of ice to block the shock wave.

"Can you do it moderately?" Sofia shook her head helplessly.

"Sorry." Ayaka smiled apologetically.

On the other hand, Michelle landed next to Sofia and asked, "So, did Kai teach you about Mystic?"

"Yes." Felice nodded with a serious expression. She remembered she got this technique when she suggested the utilization of his Supersonic Assassin.

He told her that she made him realize the most important thing about his Supersonic Assassin.

"That's good, I guess." Michelle smiled while adding inwardly, 'The ones who can fight are Arba, Devain, Tasha, Sofia, Ayaka, Felice, Professor Ria, and me. This means we have eight while the enemies have ten. I guess we can only give the other two to Roselyn and other S Rank Magicians. They should be able to buy enough time for us.'

"By the way, do you bring us reinforcement?" Ayaka asked while glancing at Roselyn and the other S Rank Magicians.

"They're on their way here… Probably in thirty minutes." Felice shrugged. "We have prepared the strongest two hundred thousand soldiers for you."

Roselyn arrived next to her and confirmed. "Yes. We have been waiting for a few weeks."

"Ho? Can you tell us about it?" Michelle asked.

…

While Roselyn told about her encounter, Marsha was sitting in her office while letting out a long sigh.

She closed her eyes and remembered what happened three weeks ago.

…

Three weeks ago.

Marsha was still sitting on the same chair as she managed the Union. At that time, a Magic Circle appeared inside her room.

"!!!" Marsha rose from her chair in bewilderment as she never expected someone would use something like this.

However, the man's appearance calmed her down again as she couldn't help but call his name. "Kai Carter."

After getting the Crown Jewel, Kai visited her right after with a smile on his face. Though, Marsha saw the floating green jewel on top of his palm that piqued her interest.

Kai smiled and said, "Hello. I'm here to give you two options."

"Huh?" Marsha blinked her eyes a few times as she thought Kai usually offered a trade or something instead of options. It was the same as him threatening her to make a decision. And she was correct.

He quickly cut to the chase. "The first option is for you to be judged by the whole world as someone who cowers in fear when the rest of humanity is at stake, while the second option is to send your strongest soldiers to the battlefield."

"I don't understand. Are you talking about the war with the sea race?"

"Yes. They will attack the US Base, not any other places." Kai nodded with a serious expression.

"Do you have any proof? If we send you all our soldiers, we may be annihilated from having no one to fight." Marsha shook her head.

Kai only smiled and stated, "I'm the proof. As long as I am in the US Base, they will only go there."

"Ehm, what?" Marsha opened her eyes wide. "Since when did you become narcissistic?"

"I'm not. Everything I said earlier is the truth. If you don't cooperate, then the Union will fall after the war is over no matter if we win or lose this war." Kai shrugged. He planned to destroy the Union by using his reputation if they won, while the sea race obviously wouldn't let them go if they lost.

That was why Kai told her she only had two options.

"Your decision decides your future." Kai shrugged. "I only want you to bring all your strongest fighters along with all your S Rank Magicians and my disciple. I will teleport them to Quebec and you're going to stay in Washington while gradually making your way to North or South Carolina."

"Wait, what? Can you explain it to me first?"

"I don't have time. I don't think I will have enough sleep for the next few weeks. Anyway, if you agree to this, gather every single one of them in this place within five days." After saying those words, Kai waved his hand and teleported again. "Bye."

…

Remembering their conversation, Marsha couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her forehead while sighing. "I hope this works, Kai Carter…"
