The Magician Of Sound

"Not good!"

*Bam!*

The ape hit, kicking up the dust. However, Isabelle managed to react and flew to the sky.

"God of Wind, Aeolus." Four balls of wind appeared beside her. Since the bullet was not enough, she decided to fight the eagle in the sky while trying to find the perfect time to shoot it down.

However, the eagle only created another wind barrier, a little bigger this time.

"Break!" Isabelle covered her fist with her wind and struck the barrier. The wind was there to disrupt the flow of the eagle's wind, but little did she know that it was not a trap.

The dust that was still in the air didn't really show what happened to the ape, so there was no way she could react when the ape suddenly leaped to the air and grabbed her feet.

"Isabelle!" Evan shouted. He never saw an ape jumping that high, but he also realized that it must be another A rank magical beast.

Isabelle glanced at the bottom and used her wind magic to blast her to the sky, but she realized she only fell down as a result.

The moment he took another glimpse of the ape, he found that the red ape had turned silver as if it was covered in metal clothing.

'It's a metal ape? One of the strongest beasts?' Isabelle widened her eyes in surprise, watching how the ape pulled her down, and the eagle stared at her as if everything was going according to the plan. In other words, the eagle was an intelligent beast.

*Roar!*

The ape didn't merely pull her. Instead, he threw her with all his strength to the ground.

"Sh*t! This is a metal ape, I will really die if he throws me like this!" Isabelle gritted her teeth, recalling how Evan offered to get another exoskeleton for her.

"No!" Evan gritted his teeth and turned away. The six monsters didn't allow him according to the eagle's order, but Evan didn't buy it.

He kicked the monkey to the hares before running back to the hill with full speed.

During this time, the smoke finally disappeared, revealing Isabelle's condition.

She was a little buried under the soil as her consciousness gradually swept away. Her eyes couldn't focus as blood dyed her right eye.

The only reason she didn't die was because of her four wind balls. It softened the impact and somehow kept her alive.

However, the metal ape didn't buy it. The moment it saw Isabelle still alive, he raised both hands, trying to pummel her.

Isabelle used all four balls again and detonated them between her and the ape. Because of her blurry vision, all detonated a bit far from the ape.

Although it pushed him back, the ape immediately recovered and headed toward her.

The eagle let out another cry as if telling the ape to kill her.

'Evan… Sorry.' She gritted her teeth, unwilling to die.

The ape waved his hands down.

"Don't you dare to touch my woman!" Evan shouted as he punched the ape on the face, blowing him away.

He immediately checked Isabelle's condition. "Bones fracture, bleeding on the head but not too deep that affect the skeleton and give a brain damage, but the back is the worst."

Grabbing all pieces of equipment including Isabelle's weapon, he then carried Isabelle on his back, covering her with a water bubble that would heal him.

They needed to get away before the ape came back. At this time, the eagle was the one who reacted to him by diving, trying to stop him from leaving.

The eagle never expected Evan to suddenly come from that distance. If Evan realized it, he might also question it, but he had no time to think about it.

"Go away!" He turned around and aimed the sniper rifle toward the eagle before pulling the trigger.

*Bang!*

The powerful shot was released and hit the eagle's barrier within. Because of the range, the eagle seemed to get thrown by the force, but Evan stumbled to the ground, almost dropping Isabelle.

Isabelle always shot it on the ground, so he thought the recoil was only that much. He never thought it was to this degree, especially since he shot the eagle with one hand because his other hand was holding Isabelle.

*Roar!*

The ape seemed to have recovered and locked his eyes on Evan.

Evan stuck the weapon to the ground, pulled the black handle on the right side as Isabelle always did, letting the used bullet to fall off and the new one to go into the barrel, and he carried the weapon with him before running away.

He never learned the name of the black handle or any other parts of this sniper rifle, so he only imitated Isabelle without much clue. At the very least, he should have another lifeline with this sniper. It might not be possible to pull it again while running, so he would wait until he really needed to use it.

"Don't worry. You are going to be fine. They can only walk over my dead body if they want to hurt you at this point." Evan's heart was pounding madly as he ran away at his fastest speed, only to find a series of roars filled the area.

From the hill, he could see a few areas that had a few magical beasts, but if he needed to count all of them, there were around fifty magical beasts that would chase them, including one metal ape and one intelligent eagle.

Even so, it didn't stop him from running in the direction where he could expect fewer monsters.

The ape and the eagle were chasing him as well.

Many obstacles tried to stop him like branches, trees, and other things, but Evan passed them without much problem.

The magical beasts in his surroundings started coming from all directions, trying to kill him. Evan dodged each of their attacks. He got a few wounds while doing it, but his healing power immediately stopped the bleeding.

"Three minutes… Just wait for three minutes. I am sure your consciousness will be revitalized, and you should be able to use magic at that time. After that, I am going to start healing your body, so you can move within five minutes." Evan assured her as he kept running for a while.

*Roar!*

The ape managed to close their distance, trying to punch Evan.

When he was about to dodge the ape, the eagle dove down, and two other beasts came from his sides. Even if he managed to avoid this ape, he would be hit by the three incoming beasts. Hence, Evan made the hardest choice in his life as he turned around and gritted his teeth, letting the ape hit him on the stomach.

Isabelle was thrown into the air in the process, but it was still maintained by his water bubble, not letting her drop. At the same time, Evan managed to slightly positioned himself a bit higher than the fist, so the moment it landed on his body, he would be blown away to the air instead of getting pummeled to the ground.

Still, the metal ape almost killed Isabelle with its strength alone, so getting hit on the stomach was the last thing you wanted to do.

"Gah!" Evan spat a mouthful of blood before flying to the air for two hundred meters. He rolled on the ground as soon as he landed and found that the ape was approaching faster.

During this time, he still controlled his water bubble and carried Isabelle with him. As he said earlier, he wouldn't let her hurt unless they stepped over his dead body.

Isabelle let out tears at this moment as she noticed how many mistakes she made earlier that they could arrive at a situation like this.

Evan was lying down while his butt still pointed to the sky as if he was trying to force his feet to force him back to his feet. His eyes still locked on the incoming ape that was faster than the rest, trying to heal himself as much as possible.

It took him thirty seconds before he could finally wake up and grab Isabelle's weapon again before trying to carry Isabelle again.

However, the ape already arrived and leaped to increase his speed, throwing his powerful fist toward Evan. This way, he would be able to kill both of them in a single strike.

Knowing that, Evan threw his fist with the exoskeleton, albeit it immediately bent in a weird way.

"AAAHHHH!" Evan screamed in pain. Knowing that he couldn't contain the fist with his hand, he let it drop on his body, spatting another mouthful of blood.

His consciousness started to disappear like Isabelle earlier, but the determination had yet to leave his face.

Like the bear that Kai and his group faced, the ape still had a weakness. Its control over magic wasn't that great, so it needed to stop using its magic to do some high movement. And this was probably the perfect time to kill it.

His left hand still carried the sniper, so he used the ape's big arm as the platform to rest the sniper and aimed at his head. It was only a half meter away from the head, so there was no way he would miss even with the recoil as long as he aimed at the chest instead of the head.

The ape noticed this and immediately covered his head with his metal magic, but he suddenly looked up as if something hit his chin from below like an uppercut.

There was no need to think. It was Isabelle's wind. Due to the force, it revealed the neck of the ape as if Isabelle telling him to strike that area.

Evan smiled and pulled the trigger. "Goodbye, motherfuck*r."

*Bang!*
