Chapter 474: Switch

"Talk big!" Hatker gritted his teeth and tried to ram him again. This time, he didn't plan to get Kai to pounce him away using that same technique.

He had recognized Kai's new technique and skills that seemed to be different from the rumors. After acknowledging it, what he needed to do was to adapt to that kind of power and fight him again.

When Hatker was about to reach Kai, the latter already swung his blade to stop him.

Hatker didn't panic and stopped Kai's sword without a problem since Kai's normal Super Sonic Sword wouldn't be able to cut his shield.

Kai narrowed his eyes and used the magic again, but before he could launch it, Hatker spun his body to avoid his attack.

"!!!" Kai widened his eyes and raised his second sword, but Hatker had an advantageous position and rammed his shield, blowing Kai several meters away.

Hatker took a deep breath and smiled. "Don't think you have won, Kai Carter. You're just a mere human."

Kai squinted his eyes. Now that he wasn't clueless anymore about his identity as the race protector as well as his role, he saw the world, especially these guys, differently.

Hatker and Yuba were supposed to know about his identity, so he wondered whether they acted like they didn't know or had been banned from saying so. If it was the former, they might slip up at one point.

Still, with this useless thought, the fight went on. Kai charged at him and struck his shield again from the air.

Before he slammed him with the second shield, Kai used his Sound Blast to launch him to the opposite side before hitting him.

Hatker already felt it coming and raised his second shield to the back. Although he lost the force of the swing, he managed to stop Kai's strike completely. And he even made it look effortless, as if he planned to taunt Kai.

With how prepared Hatker fought against Kai, the winner of the previous bet among him and Yuba… was probably him.

Kai didn't know this and expected he managed to separate the two.

'Hmm… The two techniques, Sonokinetic Blade and Echo Thruster, I've mastered seem to show a great effect to these guys.' Kai squinted his eyes, feeling happy that the three months he spent there brought him so many things.

Hatker felt Kai planned to do something, so he rushed forward with his shield in the front.

Kai kicked the glistening shield, but Hatker quickly reinforced his stepping to make sure the kick didn't blow him away.

Yet, Kai didn't even use his magic and used Hatker's shield to leap to the air, confusing him.

"Huh?" Hatker furrowed his eyebrows and raised his vision. He halted his steps after pushing him, but he didn't realize everything was a trap.

Kai smiled and raised his finger. "Activate."

"!!!" Hatker felt the fluctuation of magic power beneath his feet and lowered his head, finding a huge green magic circle beneath his feet. "This is the reason he didn't do anything?"

Before Hatker could do anything, the Magic Circle already shot him into the air like Kai.

"How do you like my magic?" Kai smiled, showing off that his Sound Blast Magic was able to launch him to the air.

Hatker snorted and protected his body with his shields since the air wasn't his forte.

Since they were still floating, Kai smiled and used his Sound Blast to launch himself to Hatker.

The latter tried to stop him by pushing his shield, but Kai used his Sound Blast again to avoid it, going around Hatker.

Hatker lost his balance due to his lack of experience. A clam like him was rarely fought on the land, let alone in the air. He simply didn't know how to move his body and slipped, giving Kai a big opportunity.

Kai smirked and used this chance to strike his back with his sword.

"Sonokinetic Blade."

The Sound Wave formed the crescent-shaped attack and pushed him to the ground.

Bam.

The clam gritted his teeth as blood began to flow out of his mouth. On his back was a giant crack Kai inflicted earlier.

Kai didn't let this go and used his Sound Blast to go to Hatker and strike him again, but the latter rolled his body and used his shield to stop Kai.

Bam.

A crater appeared beneath his body, but Hatker remained strong as he looked at Kai. "I see. It seems your power will work against me… As much as I hate to do this, but…" Hatker took a deep breath and shouted. "Yuba. We will switch!"

A few minutes ago, Yuba, who just got surrounded by the two girls, snorted. "You two just managed to ambush me. Don't think you have the ability to kill me."

"You talk too much." Sofia snorted and raised both hands since she basically never wielded a weapon. Her Circulation Ice Magic was based on this weakness and she used it to cover it.

Sofia stepped forward as a magic circle appeared in front of her. She pushed that magic circle as hard as she could until her hand touched it.

"Circulation Ice Magic, Drill."

A huge pointed drill emerged from the magic circle and tried to create a hole in Yuba's body.

Seeing this kind of attack, Yuba raised his sword and deflected the drill to the left before his strength bent the drill.

Roselyn also used this opportunity to close their distance as she waved her sword.

However, Yuba managed to read her movement and jumped sideward to avoid her.

Roselyn didn't let him go and followed him, but Yuba turned out using that movement just to fake his real intention. Despite going sideward, Yuba's body still faced backward, meaning he would have met Roselyn face to face if she followed him.

And with Roselyn doing exactly what he was hoping for, Yuba raised his sword and thrust his sword.

"!!!" Roselyn clenched her teeth and barely reacted to it as she used all eight legs to block it.

The light bulb on his head suddenly shone brightly, blinding Roselyn. Even she needed to close her eyes because it hurt.

Yuba used this chance to keep pushing his slash forward until Sofia appeared next to them and raised her hand.

"Circulation Ice Magic, Hammer."

She summoned a giant hammer and swung it down, planning to strike that sword to destroy it.

Even Yuba felt a bit pressured because he didn't know whether it would break or not, so he pushed Roselyn back while pulling his sword. The two then leaped off to avoid the hammer that somehow created cracks on the ground.

"It's been a while since I fought against another swordswoman… I feel like I will be enjoying this." Yuba smirked as he looked at the remaining six legs, which he failed to cut earlier. "It's a shame that I won't be able to fight that Kai Carter, but I guess you will do."

Roselyn still tried to recover her eyes before smiling. "You think?"

Suddenly, he felt pain in his chest again before he lowered his head, finding another wound on the existing physical injuries. He then realized Roselyn actually used those legs to protect her body while she continued her attack. The moment Sofia separated them, it became the best time to hit him.

He looked at Roselyn and smiled. "Interesting."

Unfortunately for both of them, when Yuba was about to fight Roselyn again, Hatker's voice resounded.

"Yuba. We will switch!"
