The Magician Of Sound Chapter 272
Advertisement
"Tasha!" Kai shouted after striking the spider's mouth from the side. The spider was trying to either spurt him from his mouth or hit him with his leg.
Yet, it abandoned that thought the moment Tasha released her arrow again.
As expected, the spider seemed to be afraid of lightning. Although Kai didn't understand the reason, he immediately shifted his balance to launch another strike.
The spider, on the other hand, leaped to the back while trying to spat another string from its mouth, only to find Kai had moved to another place with his Sound Blast.
It then tried to search for Kai's location before sensing another arrow coming toward him. Hence, he decided to shoot the arrow down with its web.
The moment it landed on the ground, Kai appeared on its right side. His weapon had turned into one shadow glaive instead of two swords. The black energy covered the blade as Kai struck the back leg as hard as possible.
"Shadow Slash!"
On top of that, Michelle controlled the Shadow Slash and made it circling around the legs. It was the exact same road to boot.
Since making it go around the body didn't do any damage, she rather made it in the same track, so it could cut twice, thrice, and so on until it grazed the thin leg.
"!!!" Kai found it interesting because he listened to the sound and realized it got a bit deeper. Whether it was a millimeter or even less than that, the plan was indeed working. As long as they kept doing it, cutting the leg without his Vibration Sword would not be a pipe dream anymore.
"We got this." Michelle was also pretty happy about it.
Kai didn't put it on his face, but he was also excited. He then leaped to another side because the spider was about to turn.
Suddenly, the spider leaped to the sky, trying to hit him with its giant body.
Michelle immediately summoned a scythe from his elbow that he used as a support to hold the spider body from touching him. After that, he used another Sound Blast to launch him.
Jacob, on the other hand, observed Kai's battle. He seemed to feel there might be something they could do, but he didn't know what it was. That was why he decided to step back a bit to remember it.
Luckily, Tasha's lightning seemed to be controlling the battle. Just like how the current arrow flying toward the spider that was in mid-air, the spider shifted its giant body, so it could shoot down Tasha's arrow.

Because of this, the spider was off-balance, so he noticed it couldn't change the place it landed. And Kai found out that the place where it would land was near the biggest tower that it attached its web first.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Kai leaped toward the building, entering it from the window. He then aimed forty-degree lower and waved his sword.
"Shadow Slash!"
The dark wave ran through the ground, cutting the concrete floor. Due to the inclination of the cut, the top part of the building slid and fell on top of the spider.
*Bam!*
"Scree!" The spider finally let out a scream in pain. This scream was good news for them because they finally found a ray of hope.
He smirked and winked at Tasha as if he was telling her his plan.
To everyone's surprise, Tasha seemed to understand what he wanted to do. She released another arrow toward the spider.
As much as it wanted to drown in pain, the spider leaped out of the piles of rubbles to save its life.
Kai furrowed his eyebrows and muttered. "That spider… Why is that spider so afraid of lightning?"
"Maybe it's his weakness?"
"No, I don't know why, but I feel that is not the reason. I am going to have Tasha's magic to hit it first. If that is truly the weakness, I will summon all lightning element magicians in our elite group. If it's not, the situation will not be in our favor." Kai sighed.
"Alright. Should I grab the arrow and throw it to the spider?"
"Yes. Just change its direction. The power will be boosted with my Sound Blast." Kai nodded.
"Affirmative."
Kai then leaped again to the side of the spider, striking the same spot from earlier.
As expected, it got a bit deeper again. At this rate, he should be able to cut this leg within three to five strikes. It would take him five minutes to do this, so he could only break another three before Ria finished the casting of her magic.
Hence, the moment the spider tried to dodge another incoming arrow, Kai used his Sound Blast to go near it while positioning himself above the spider.
A thread made of shadow grasped the arrow as Kai spun her body to change the arrow's direction before he created Sound Blast Magic Circle, launching the arrow toward the spider.
"Scree!" The spider never expected this, so he spurted out a thread from its mouth, sticking it to one of the buildings in front of him.

To everyone's surprise, the spider suddenly pulled himself by using the string to avoid the arrow.
"!!!" Kai was surprised, but he suddenly picked up another sound coming from the ground. "Jacob!"
"Ye-yes?!"
"Since you are free right now, go there while thinking of your plan." Kai pointed his finger to an open area. "Do you know how to play 'whack a mole'?"
"!" Jacob widened his eyes before smirking. "Understood."
He moved his giant body toward the designated area and jumped on top of the building near that to observe the ground.
A crack suddenly appeared on the surface as a sign of an incoming monster. Kai wanted him to whack this magical beast to death with his giant hammer, thus calling it 'whack a mole'.
Jacob stood on the edge of the building, ready to jump as soon as the beast showed its head.
A few seconds later, Kai's prediction was right. It might be due to the intensity of his battle or because Kai simply ignored it until the last second. Nonetheless, a small centipede suddenly split the ground open, peeking the surface to help the spider.
Unfortunately, a gorilla with a hammer was already on top of him.
*Bang!* He hit the centipede's head as hard as possible, crushing its head to a mince-meat. "Got you!"
Kai, on the other hand, had his own hands full with the spider. After pulling itself from a dangerous situation, the spider finally regained ground as it spurted out string toward Tasha.
Tasha teleported herself to the building that Kai destroyed earlier and released another arrow.
Kai kept doing this for two minutes, thinning the leg. And he could finally see blood coming out of it.
"Michelle, keep it up. Just a bit more."
"I know. I will try to break that leg!"
"How about your magic power?"
"I have used twenty percent. How about you?"
"Around that. Just make sure you are not overdoing it, okay?"
"Don't worry. I know my limit." Michelle nodded. "By the way… At this rate, we can't finish our job within thirty minutes, you know."
"The best is ruining one side. It should be able to stop the spider, but we will see whether the spider has another trick."
"Yeah. That's what I am talking about. I am afraid we need to at least break six of them."
"It's easier said than done," Kai said before glancing to the right.
"Sir!" Jacob suddenly appeared, seeming to have a plan.
"What?"
"Do you know why tools are so f*cking convenient?"
"…" It took him a few seconds before he realized what he actually wanted. "Ho! It's a good idea. Humanity invented tools because it can help our job, creating a more powerful force than a normal human could exert. We are aiming at my spot."
"Understood. I shall match your movement." Jacob nodded. This was a brilliant idea, especially coming from Jacob himself. Him being an elite among elites might not be a coincidence.
Kai then smiled and leaped toward the spider. Tasha released another arrow, forcing the spider to jump up.
"Support! Hit its head!" Kai shouted.
All those magicians immediately released their magic toward its eyes again. Even Drey and Xin chose to support him instead of interfering in his battle.
With this many magic, the Spider decided to not use its string to pull him again, afraid it would ruin himself.
Unfortunately, this was the first step to his demise.
*Boom Boom Boom!* The moment explosions occurred, Tasha calculated the spider's landing spot and teleported the rubbles, trying to bury the spider alive.
*Bam Bam Bam!*
It was Kai's real signal. Everyone thought Kai only wanted Tasha to shoot another arrow, but it turned out he was planning to use the rubble to hit the spider.
This might be the loudest moment, but it was certainly effective. The people were amazed once again by Kai's ability.
"Scree!" When the rubble fell, the spider let out another scream.
Kai finally found his opportunity. He created a tool that looked like a spoon, but the head was a trapezium instead of an oval. It looked like a breaker hammer that was usually used to break asphalt, but this was the desired shape that Kai envisioned.
He placed it on the spot where the leg was thinned and was careful to not let it touch.
Jacob already did his winding up and jumped again before hitting the back of the tool to the best of his ability.
"This is a tool that can destroy the road just by putting a bit of pressure… The spider leg that has been thinned should be…"
*Crack!*
The cracking sound was like a melody in their ears before the leg broke and flew.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
