Chapter 373: Dark Michelle

The silent night was broken by a series of roars.

Kai and the groups put on their night visions and found many beasts coming their way.

"Tasha, Isabelle. They have entered your range. Finish them." Kai commanded when the beasts were only one kilometer away from them.

The two smiled.

Isabelle pressed the trigger, releasing her first bullet. However, she didn't hold back from the very first shot and used her magic to boost the first bullet.

"Wind Boost."

Next to her, Tasha also released her bow. In front of it was a magic circle.

"Storm Arrow."

The arrow went through the magic circle and turned purple, flying up to the sky.

When Isabelle's bullet reached halfway and Tasha's arrow reached the highest peak, they both smirked while saying. "Disperse."

In an instant, the bullet burst out, releasing a couple of wind bullets. Despite its small size, it turned out to be filled with compressed wind.

The moment it hit the magical beasts' heads, it exploded, destroying their heads in the process. They then started going down, resulting in instability in their rank.

Many beasts went around or leaped above them, but some were unlucky enough to trip over their dead bodies.

At the same time, Tasha's arrow also turned into lightning that gradually spread into a few branches, hitting the beasts and electrocuting some of them. The result was similar to that of Isabelle.

Kai narrowed his eyes and raised his visions. "The flying beasts, huh."

"What are we going to do?"

"One more volley attack and you two can start killing those flying beasts," Kai shouted.

"Roger!" The two replied while releasing their second attack.

There was one more catch in their attack. They didn't target those in the middle. Instead, they killed those on the outer side to make a wall of magical beasts on the side, forcing them to go to the middle where Kai and Michelle awaited.

At the same time, Sofia and Evan readied their magic.

Evan changed the bullets in his pistol to the explosive bullets while Sofia summoned a magic circle.

Bang.

Evan released his bullet to the left side, where Isabelle previously hit them while Sofia was on the other side, following Tasha's attack.

The bullet landed and exploded, creating another block of dead bodies.

"Continue." Kai tried to calculate the best wide to make a wall, but Michelle suddenly summoned her shadow as they both stood on each side.

"This is the width." To his surprise, both of them could say something.

It startled him and looked left and right. If it were the real Michelle, he wouldn't be this surprised to hear her talking, but the one on the right was clearly her shadow. Yet, it also could talk to him.

What he found on the other side turned out to be another Michelle. Although it was a bit different, he could see that it also contained Michelle's personality.

Unlike Michelle's blonde hair, she had white hair. Along with her golden eyes that shone brightly inside her white eyes that seemed to have turned black, there was nothing he could spot other than her slightly tanned skin.

"Yahoo!" She waved her hand to Kai with a big smile before walking to him and grabbing his chest as if she wanted to seduce him. "Handsome. Are you free tonight?"

"What?!" The others couldn't help but look at them.

The real Michelle was embarrassed and shouted. "All of you! Continue! Don't think too much about my Dark Side!"

"Dark side? No, no. I am not your dark side. I am the real side you have actually abandoned. I am the desire that you have suppressed. I know that you are always trying to find a way to seduce him." The dark Michelle smirked.

"STOP!" She screamed. Her face was red due to this embarrassment.

Kai suddenly remembered why Michelle became a bit weak-willed after the training. And how she actually tried to hide behind him when Ayaka and Tasha teased him. He finally understood. It was the girl before him.

She was the reason why she looked like this. Although it didn't affect her daily activity, it was still visible to everyone who knew her.

"So, is this a kind of dual personality?"

"Not at all. Just like you, there is always a need to maintain your appearance in public, no? Something similar but a bit more extreme. She has a skill that can terror you with your own shadow and because of some weird things that happened, I was born." She explained.

"We can talk about this later. For now, we need to handle this." Kai turned around and asked. "Can you fight?"

"I am basically the second her. Of course, I can." She made an excited smile as she looked at the beasts.

"Alright." Kai nodded and observed the situation before shouting to the team. "Nicholas, Tommy. Ready for a wall."

"Understood." The two men leaped from their position to the front, a bit farther from Michelle and Kai.

After Sofia's and Evan's continuous attacks, the slanted wall that kept shrinking to the middle was finally erected.

When Kai saw that it was enough, he shouted. "Now!"

Tommy and Nicholas placed their hands on the ground as they both used similar to magic.

"Ice Wall."

"Great Wall."

Two walls were erected, facing each other. Between them was a gap for about fifteen meters so Kai and Michelle could handle everything that came toward them.

"You two will handle those that get past me," Kai said while looking at the beasts that started swarming inside the gap.

Nicholas and Tommy were strengthening the walls with their power, so they couldn't fight in the meantime.

Kai ordered the twins before he proceeded with the attack. "Eva, Eve. Protect those two. There are also some beasts that go around this trap. Take care of them."

"Roger that." Eve and Eva replied at the same time as they chose their own side respectively.

"Evan, Sofia, you support all of us to whoever needs it. And Ayaka, blow them up!" Kai shouted while taking out his swords.

Ayaka made a sinister smile as she summoned her fire wings and flew to the sky.

"Leave it to us." The trio replied.

With this, all people had their own responsibility.

Kai, who had distributed it well, finally had the chance to start his own fight.

The first thing he did was releasing his fighting intent that had combined with the Lion Instinct. It provoked the enemies as if there was a king of the jungle trying to make them submit.

However, Kai's instinct couldn't be compared to that of the Lion King. That was why the beasts were enraged instead.

This was Kai's actual purpose. Now that he had gathered their attention, he could finally begin his attacks.

Before he made the first move, the two Michelles summoned a scythe at the same time. They stood next to the wall with the scythe above their heads.

"Let us do it first." The Dark Michelle smiled.

Their movement was exactly similar, and they even released the same attack.

"Shadow Slash."

This might be the upgraded version of her Manipulation Doll magic. Instead of using another person's shadow, she enhanced her own shadow to have the same ability as her. This way, they needed to fight two Michelles at once instead of one.

The two Shadow Slashes ran through the ground, cutting the beasts near the wall. It continued until it lost power in which the Dark Michelle lost.

"Ah. No way!" She pouted and looked at the real Michelle. "The ones in your line are weaker than mine, so I still win."

"Whatever. I am too tired to argue with you." Michelle shrugged before retracting her spear. After that, she summoned two giant swords in each hand.

She had seen this Michelle when she truly didn't want to argue. In that case, she chose the same action and summoned the same swords as Michelle.

"We are going first." Both of them said at the same time as they leaped toward the enemies.

The moment they arrived, they struck the first enemies with the same one swing, showing that both of them were the same.

However, it soon changed to another because it was the Sword Dance that Michelle had been practicing. Using that kind of big sword would make your movement sluggish, but this dance had conquered that weakness.

As long as it wasn't disrupted, they could continue overpowering their opponent.

Kai watched the two and decided to start as well. He ran toward the group of magical beasts that seemed to be swarming the two Michelles.

His swords were on his chest as he activated his Sonic Sword. The powerful Sonic Boom finally made its first appearance in front of his teammates.

Kai swung both swords to a giant toad that blocked his way.

The swords cut the body like cutting tofu. The blood was blown off by the powerful shock wave, and the body was shredded into pieces. The rest of the shock wave and the shredded body were blown away to the side, attacking the monsters on the two sides at the same time.

Kai knew that the two could handle their own opponents, so he kept moving straight without needing to block or dodge because everything in his way was gone in an instant.

The two Michelles widened their eyes, never expecting that his advance was like that of a bullet. The Dark Michelle couldn't help but comment. "Seriously? I can't beat that."

"Do we?" Michelle looked at her dark side with a dumbfounded expression.

The answer was obvious. They looked at each other for a second before the Dark Michelle looked at Kai's back and said out loud with a seducing tone. "Darling. You are so cool. How about a threesome later in the base?"

The people on the back, especially Tasha, Ayaka, and Sofia, looked at her with a weird expression.

"Shameful Michelle."

"The real thoughts she suppressed this whole time, eh?"

"Yes. Shameful Michelle."

"STOP!!!"
