The Magician Of Sound

Chapter 258 - Fighting Rapakha Part 5

"Freezing Field!" Sofia released another Freezing Field. Because of her ability, she was more used to fighting in this type of environment.

The ground turned into ice as Sofia raised both hands, summoning a few more ice spears.

Having enough time to regain his power, Rapakha immediately covered his body with stone and sent a punch to her while the other hand went to her ice spears.

'Where are Kai and the others?' Sofia was baffled and glanced to the side, only to find Kai chatting with Ayaka and Michelle without much care about his surroundings.

Obviously, this made her twitch her eyebrows as she couldn't swallow this kind of thing. Kai promised to head toward her as soon as Rapakha attacked her, but it turned out he wasn't a man of his words. She didn't know why, but her heart was filled with disappointment now.

'Am I that unworthy? Or am I that unimportant? Or does he want to get rid of me?' Many questions flashed in her mind, but Rapakha sealed all those thoughts with his fist.

Having no choice other than relying on herself, Sofia gritted her teeth and ran away, leaving an ice trail on her ice field.

Rapakha noticed something was wrong but still chased her. He believed that as long as he was careful with the ground, it would be fine.

Sofia kept running while blocking Rapakha's punch with her magic shield. Unfortunately, all of her magic got shattered by a single punch.

It was until one minute later that she finally finished running. She panted even though she was running for only one minute. Every time Rapakha hit her magic circle, it would throw her balance off, making it very hard to keep running.

*Pak!*

Sofia clapped her hand and smiled. "Never mind. I should rely on myself like always."

A magic circle appeared before blue light shone on the ice field. Then, a few blue lines appeared, connecting one side of the circle to the other side, making it look like a pizza.

"Ho! I have noticed that you were baiting me earlier, but I am impressed with this magic and yourself. To think there is someone who will become a bait but keep fighting as if you are the main attacker…" Rapakha nodded with a solemn expression.

"I will defeat you!" She gritted her teeth, activating the magic circle. Ice spikes emerged from within the ground as the magic circle shot them to the sky before it turned around and headed toward Rapakha.

"Let's see whether you can withstand this as well! Unlimited Ice."

Rapakha looked at this and turned his staff into a pole. He looked at the magic circle and noticed that he was on the edge of the magic circle. In other words, those lines near him didn't produce any ice spikes.

Seeing this, Rapakha immediately understood the mechanism. Not only would the ice behind him appear when he moved forward, but it would also rain him down from all directions, making a perfect execution ground.

That was why Sofia decided to corner him to his own wall, but didn't know it was thin.

If Rapakha destroyed the wall and escaped from the circle, Sofia wouldn't be able to do anything. However, he didn't have such a personality.

"Running away?" Rapakha smiled, thickened his staff's head area, and made it into a club instead of a pole. He swung his stone club, shattering all the ice that came toward him.

Still, Sofia was nonetheless the most powerful younger generation in the EU Base. When he shattered all those ices, the magic circle released it once again, sending multiple crystals that would kill him.

"Die!" Sofia roared and pointed her finger at him.

Rapakha smiled and leaped toward her, swinging his club again and shattering the ice spikes again. At this time, many Ice Spikes appeared on his back because he got closer to the middle.

It was at this time Rapakha showed his real strength and shattered the ice spikes again, making his way toward Sofia.

'Impossible. This ice is not that easy to shatter, and yet… If only there are a few people protecting me, I can keep using this magic until my magic power runs out… Unfortunately, those guys betray me…' When she thought about it, a shadow appeared right from her back, swinging his sword toward Rapakha.

"Sorry for the wait." Kai apologized to her. The moment the two weapons clashed, it sent a shock wave strong enough to blow the grass around.

Kai then activated his sound blast to go around Rapakha, trying to attack him from behind like earlier.

Unfortunately, Rapakha wasn't someone this easy to trick. He grabbed Kai's feet and threw him.

"Michelle, Ayaka."

"Shadow Slash!" Michelle appeared behind Rapakha, swinging her sword toward him.

Although it wasn't as powerful as Kai, it should be able to shatter her defense. Hence, he decided to grab the sword to prevent the attack, but Michelle's sword suddenly slipped out of his hand, continuing her shadow slash.

However, it struck the wall itself due to the direction.

It was at this time, Ayaka appeared, thrusting her spear toward his neck.

"Fire Thrust."

The torrential fire was released from the top of her spear. Rapakha noticed that this girl seemed to have understood his weakness.

Everything should have weaknesses. He understood that concept well. Even his technique had limitations and weaknesses. And one of them was areas that could hinder his movement because they needed a full movement without stone hindering them. And one of these areas was Ayaka's target.

"!!!" Rapakha had no choice but to dodge this one, allowing the Fire Thrust flying toward the wall.

Michelle almost cut the wall into two, and with this magic, the wall cracked to the point it would crumble in any second.

And this was the time when Kai finally fulfilled his role. He specifically passed Rapakha to have Rapakha launch him to the wall without giving a clue to Rapakha.

That was why he managed to arrive right in front of the wall as he utilized his exoskeleton and shattered the thin wall.

*Crack!*

*Rumble!*

The loud sound started filling the atmosphere as the wall crumbled.

Seeing this, Kai returned to his position by leaping toward Rapakha again with the help of Sound Blast.

To everyone's surprise, Rapakha glanced at Sofia instead of Kai. "This is what you are lacking. When I saw your expression and their actions, I found that you have darkness in your heart.

"Have you got betrayed by someone before? No, I think I can safely assume you have. That's why I found nothing but thinking about betrayal the moment you saw them. Let me guess, you all must be trying to bait me to attack you, so the others can help you while ambushing me, right?

"The moment it didn't go according to your way, and they didn't help you, the feeling grew to its peak and clouded your eyes.

"Little girl. No matter what happened to you, it shouldn't cloud your eyes like that. There will be many people that you can trust in the future… And make sure that your eyes can clearly see them." Rapakha smiled.

Sofia's body shook as she remembered her day in the EU Base. She was still 14 years old at that time, playing around with her fiance.

However, one unexpected thing suddenly occurred. Her family business went bankrupt, and when she investigated what happened, it turned out the culprit was her fiance that she loved so much.

At that time, being heartbroken, her father used the last bit of her connection to have her become the first Zodiac coming from the EU Base. And it turned out she survived out of fifty people that were coming with her.

Not long after, she somehow managed to fight back and regain her family business and killed her fiance with her own hand. It was at that time, she decided to trust herself and wanted to be stronger… Strong enough to the point other people wouldn't dare to betray her. And when she saw Kai's chatting earlier, it somehow triggered that past.

"Still… Do you think you have a chance to fight me while protecting this little girl?" Rapakha smirked as he slammed his right hand toward Sofia's head.

"Didn't you say it earlier? I dare to strike you at this point because I have trust in my friends." Hearing his provocation, Kai smiled. He wanted to glance at the person far from his back, but he had no time. And yet, that person was very familiar because it was none other than Isabelle.

The crumbling sound might be hard to see. Not only would it be covered with dust, but the moving rocks covered the mission.

Except, there was this exceptional sniper who claimed to be the best sniper in the world. Shooting through moving objects and choosing the gap she wanted to go through to make a perfect shoot…

"Hehe… As expected, he will understand my action and turn it to our advantage." Isabelle, on the other side, smiled as she aimed through one gap and put all her focus into this. A magic circle appeared in front of the bullet hole.

"Plasma Wind!"

*Bam!*

A few torrential winds flew toward Rapakha before it fused together and got compressed to create a stronger attack.

This was the attack that almost shattered Kai's Oscillation Shield, and Isabelle had strengthened this due to her frustration of losing that group battle.

Still, to think that the technique would actually be used to help the guy who became the sole reason she upgraded the technique... It was hilarious.

"This is what I mean by trust… We are lucky to have the number one sniper to assist us." Kai smiled.

The torrential magic, with the size of a bullet, flew through the gap between rubbles, hitting Rapakha's right hand.

Although it wasn't able to destroy the stone that covered his arm completely, it created a big enough crater for Kai to attack.

"Wha—!"
