The Magician of Sound

As soon as they got the plan, Dark Michelle said, "I\'m going to handle him. You can handle the rest. Don\'t worry! I will be fine."

Felice hesitated for a second but chose to trust Dark Michelle. After all, she was made of Magic Power, not a real person.

"I understand. Please be careful."

"Okay." She smiled and ran forward, heading straight to the sea lion whose fin was cut by her.

The sea lion tried to stop the bleeding while hitting the ground with his other fin, trying to stop Dark Michelle.

Suddenly, the ground rose, lifting her up.

Dark Michelle casually planted her scythes on the ground, making sure she wasn\'t launched the moment the ground stopped.

As she expected, she carried the momentum after the ground reached its peak. Luckily, the scythes acted as her anchor and tied her to the ground.

After that, she climbed down the tall spike with her scythes as if she was a spider and leaped toward the sea lion when she was close enough.

The sea lion realized Dark Michelle had more experience in battle. He would be at a disadvantage if he continued fighting this battle, so he aimed at Felice instead.

"Launch!" The sea lion summoned multiple boulders and shot them into the air. The boulders made a parabolic trail and landed in front of Felice.

However, that kind of speed was something Felice could handle. She used her Telekinesis to fly.

Instead of coming over, Felice relied on Dark Michelle to stop the sea lion and moved to a different place.

"Are you going to flee?" the sea lion shouted, trying to stop her.

Dark Michelle appeared between them and waved her sword.

"Shadow Slash."

The sea lion instinctively leaped back to avoid it.

"Oi, oi!" Dark Michelle made a huge smirk while looking down at the sea lion. "You are so proud when fighting that kid… Now that you fight me, you are scared? Idiot."

The sea lion gritted his teeth and summoned more rocks in his surroundings. "I am not afraid of you."

Like Rapakha, the sea lion covered his body with stones to withstand Dark Michelle\'s Shadow Slash. Although her attack would still cut him, he could let go of the rock to avoid getting sliced.

This was a perfect countermeasure against Dark Michelle\'s Shadow Slash. Or that was what he thought…

Suddenly, Dark Michelle jumped toward him and waved her sword down.

This time, she didn\'t use anything special, avoiding using too much Magic Power from Michelle\'s depleted Magic Reserve.

That was also why she didn\'t release all eight Shadow Slashes earlier, even though she could kill him with that attack. Michelle, after all, needed that Magic Power to change the battlefield.

Thinking about it, Dark Michelle tested the toughness of the rocks.

Clink.

As she would expect from an opponent this level, her sword wasn\'t good enough to cut the rock.

The sea lion used that chance to hit Dark Michelle on the stomach, only to be blocked by all scythes.

"Let\'s see if I can cut this or not." Dark Michelle smiled and kept waving her swords one after another, striking at the same spot.

Meanwhile, the sea lion half-parried her sword and half-attacked her. Every time he parried her, Dark Michelle would hit a different place as if trying to change her attack pattern. And when he was about to attack her, his movement would be stopped by her scythes.

They kept clashing against each other for thirty seconds, showing their own superiority.

Unfortunately, none of them managed to graze each other.

"Where are your powerful attacks? You\'re not going to use it anymore?" The sea lion made a smug smile, looking at Dark Michelle with contempt.

The latter simply shook her head and corrected him. "It\'s not that I am not using it. I simply don\'t need to use that fancy attack to defeat you."

"You\'re too proud, woman."

Dark Michelle shrugged. "Fine, I\'m going to correct my words."

The sea lion was surprised to hear those words, but he soon understood the weight of her correction.

"I won\'t be the one who kills you; it\'s the kid." Dark Michelle suddenly jumped backward while pointing her middle finger at him. "Die, sucker."

The sea lion\'s body shook as he instinctively raised his head, finding Nella floating with a four-story tall building.

There was nothing unique about this building other than the pointed tip.

Nella rotated the building and let the tip fall first, creating a huge blade to kill the sea lion.

"No!" The sea lion raised the ground again to protect him.

However, the building and the ground destroyed each other, and dust covered the entire area, making them unable to see what was going on.

The loud rumbling sound soon stopped as the clash ended.

Felice hurriedly used her Telekinesis to blow away the smoke, so she could see the sea lion\'s condition.

To her surprise, the sea lion was still standing without any additional wounds. Felice opened her eyes wide, shocked by the revelation.

Next to the sea lion stood several tall pillars that protected him. He might be surrounded by rubbles, but none of them seemed to touch him.

"…" Felice clenched her hands.

The sea lion noticed Felice\'s expression and laughed. "Haha, did you expect that kind of building to kill me?!"

He looked so proud to the point Dark Michelle approached him with her swords. "Then, I am going to kill you myself."

"Hmph!" The sea lion harrumphed and lifted her again to the air, buying time to collect himself. After that, the sea lion tried to launch the rubbles like machine guns.

However, Felice also moved as if she wanted to fix her own mistake. She wished to kill him to show the world she was worthy as Kai\'s disciple.

"It\'s useless, you little brat." The sea lion laughed while shooting some of the rubbles to Dark Michelle, hindering her.

When Felice was about to reach him, she suddenly halted her steps as if she hesitated at the last moment.

"Huh?!" The sea lion was confused for a second and mocked her again. "You finally realized how weak you are compared to me?"

"No." Felice shook her head. "I realize how idiotic you are compared to me."

"What did you say?!" The sea lion gritted her teeth before realizing her true plan. He turned around and saw Dark Michelle coming after him.

He raised his fin to shoot more rubbles, but Felice used her Telekinesis to push them down, preventing any rubble from flying.

This was the first trap Felice made in order to make the sea lion focus on the rubble instead of the ground like he used to. However, he soon noticed it and lifted the ground instead, creating a wall.

Unfortunately for him, he just fell on Felice\'s second trap. He was too focused on Dark Michelle, allowing her to approach him.

"What?!" The sea lion widened his eyes in surprise and lifted the ground around him to turn them into his armor. Felice shouldn\'t have enough strength to break the armor… Unless that armor was never worn.

The sea lion suddenly felt something jolted his mind, numbing his body. It even stopped all kinds of actions from him, allowing Felice to arrive before him with her last metal arm in front of his face.

"What… is… happening…" The sea lion was dumbstruck, not understanding what had happened to his body.

Felice smiled at him. "The world\'s strongest anesthetic made by the world\'s greatest poison master. Can\'t you see I am just buying time for it to work…"

"When—" Before he finished, Felice punched his head with all her power as the Telekinesis strengthened her attack, disfiguring the sea lion\'s face in an instant.

He was blown away and landed on the ground.

Unable to move his body, the sea lion suddenly remembered something. "The building…"

Felice already appeared before him, planning to smash his head. "Yeah. That building wasn\'t meant to kill you. It was the hidden place of anesthetic… The gas that can render you sea monsters useless. It\'s time for you to die!"

Felice released all her strength and hit the sea lion\'s head a couple of times until she crushed him.

She didn\'t hold back at all and released all the frustration pent up inside her mind. All those mockeries went back to him as the sea lion finally died under Felice\'s hand.

"I…" Felice panted and raised her head, shouting on top of her lung. "…am Kai Carter\'s student!"

Dark Michelle watched her from the side and smiled.

"I already said… She was the one who would kill you.." She closed her eyes and disappeared.
