Chapter 311: Compressed Air Bomb

*Boom Boom!*

Two loud explosions echoed on the battlefield as the flame burst out of the two arrows.

Tasha had specifically teleported the second one, so it would appear at this timing, and it worked. She managed to fool the intelligent beast.

"Sofia!" Kai shouted as he listened to the sound of the intelligent beast. He needed to confirm whether the magical beasts had died or not.

"The fire is completely extinguished. The intelligent beast is dead." Sofia nodded, confirming everything while holding these magical beasts back.

"Good." He also couldn't hear any sound from that spot, so he believed the beast had died. And since they had solved this matter, Kai could give another order to them. "This is my order. Tasha will go toward the left for three kilometers. There will be many magical beasts in your surroundings, but your main priority is to destroy the big group.

"You can do whatever you want as long as you kill the magical beasts. This will be a bit taxing for your body, but this is the only way.

"And one more person, Ayaka. You go to the right for about two kilometers and plant as many magic bombs as possible to obliterate or halt them. If possible, annihilate them. But if it's not, return here, and we will solve the entire situation. Just make sure you don't' start a huge fire."

"Understood." The two girls nodded before Tasha asked. "Want a ride?"

"I would love to." Ayaka nodded.

Tasha then teleported her to her position before disappearing from the battlefield to handle her target.

"Sofia will take Ayaka's job for now. I will give another order in ten minutes. We will handle all these monsters first. If you need help, slightly lean to the other person, so they can help you."

"Roger." Michelle and Sofia shouted as they took a deep breath. Sofia smirked and changed her style, mainly using her exoskeleton instead.

Meanwhile, on Tasha's side, she had started sniping the beasts in her surroundings. Although the big group had yet to arrive, some smaller groups were still marching toward Kai and the others, so it was best to eliminate as many as possible, lifting the burden on their shoulders. At the same time, it would make her position a bit safer with fewer magical beasts loitering around.

In another minute, she finally found a huge pack of bison. She couldn't even say it was a pack of bison anymore due to their number. However, a bigger one was among them, standing out as if he was telling others who's the king.

This made Tasha's job easier as she drew three explosive arrows and shot them toward the leader.

Noticing this, the bison suddenly turned left, trying to hide the arrows. However, Tasha aimed a bit more spread, so it would hit them whether they turned left or right.

*Boom Boom Boom!*

The arrows exploded and hit the bison leader, but then she saw that it only burned one side of its body. Meanwhile, a few bison died due to the explosions, mostly those around the bison leader. It seemed they slightly jumped, shielding their king from the explosion.

"Hmm…" Tasha contemplated for a moment while touching her explosive arrows. However, she suddenly retracted her hands and clapped her hand, summoning a pink magic circle instead of the purple one.

This only symbolized one thing. She was using her Space Magic, more accurately, her Sealing Magic.

"It is time I show my progress…" Tasha smiled. Kai had specifically asked her to handle this and left none alive, so she was pretty pumped up.

"Space Ball." Five pink spheres appeared above her heads, floating calmly despite the wind and other things.

"Open!"

The moment she gave the order, a hole was formed on their body before it started sucking the nearby air. It looked like someone blew out a balloon, but a bit more magical.

Tasha smiled and sealed them when it had two meters in diameters.

"Compress!"

The pink balloon started shrinking, and this was the one taking her magic power the most. But compared to how much she used when teleporting many magical beasts up in the sky, this was much lighter to use for her body and magic power.

Before throwing the balls, he found that the bison turned again, trying to ram her. This was a good chance to finally show her strength. By grabbing one of them with her main hand, he threw the pink sphere toward the herd.

And she didn't dare to stand too close to it as she aimed a bit farther in their rank.

When it reached its target, a magic circle appeared once again, dissolving the sphere in an instant.

The compressed air that was trapped there burst out, causing a huge explosion. But this one was not an explosion that caused the fire. Instead, it was like a burst of wind that could cut many things with the pressure coming out of it alone.

"Hehe… This is my Compressed Air Bomb! The pressure is too high there, so the explosion is a bit too powerful." She smirked, watching how the air bomb actually cut many bison while blowing some of them far away.

The compressed air itself is not flammable. Although it is true that the temperature is relatively high, it still won't explode like a bomb unless they added some specific elements and used Ayaka's fire to make it explode.

But the pressure alone was enough for them. Even Kai couldn't easily block this off, so she was pretty proud of this one.

She then proceeded to throw the other fours in their ranks.

*Boom Boom!*

A series of explosions resounded across the region as the bison were butchered so easily.

Tasha kept using the Compressed Air Bomb and killed as many as possible during this time while maintaining her magic power so as to not reach the limit Kai placed earlier.

"Haha… Die!" Tasha laughed while seeing many bison fall down to the ground. Even the leader was scared of Tasha as she looked like a demon right now.

They tried to charge at her, but she would easily teleport to a distance while leaving the bombs there, so the ones charging at her would die. Then, she would start throwing more bombs on them.

In the end, the herd decided to run away toward Kai like how they were ordered to do in the first place. Unfortunately, that sealed their fate as Tasha chased them to the end to kill them.

Kai sealed her ability for this reason. If the government knew about this, they would take advantage of her abilities and try to control her.

As long as he became strong enough, he could oppose the government in case they decided to place the restriction on her, especially control her. Just like how Nathan and Ria Ross would be in his back no matter what happened, he needed his own reputation to have enough strength to do this.

If they ended up getting expelled from the US base, Sofia would surely accept them with an open arm. Instead of controlling her, they might cooperate with her while placing some restrictions with the agreement of both parties. As for United Asia… He didn't care about that place anymore except for Yajima Haruko.

Although it was pretty childish of him to love someone he didn't even realize until now and only relied on the childhood memory, no one could read the human heart. They might find it ridiculous, but it was just him being him.

Nonetheless, the only thing they needed to do was to get stronger. And by releasing this limiter for a while, Tasha understood a few more things regarding her Sealing Magic.

Meanwhile, Ayaka wasn't losing in terms of explosions. She planted many magic bombs in the direction, and when the group of moose walked above it, Ayaka used her Scarlet Explosion to light them up.

And the result…

*Boom Boom Boom!*

Another series of explosions shook the battlefield as this one was more critical than the one Tasha made. Still, the consumption was heavier than her, so it was to be expected.

Ayaka then started killing the rest of the moose like how Tasha chased her own targets.

The situation for them on their sides was basically under control. Still, their targets were only one thousand and five hundred beasts. On the other hand, the main group was still under a heavy attack from more than twenty thousand five hundred magical beasts.

Sofia kept holding, albeit barely because she wasn't a real close combatant, so she slightly leaned to Kai's side and asked for his help.

Noticing this, Kai shifted his position a bit. This way, Michelle would handle forty percent of their surroundings while he and Sofia handled the other sixty percent.

"Kai, this is not going to work. The magical beasts won't stop and keep coming for a few more hours."

"That is right. The army has always dealt with this situation. We need to retreat first."

"No." Kai shook his head.

The two narrowed their eyes since Kai seemed to have a plan to break this stalemate.

"Michelle… This is my order. Go to the perimeter and create a gap between them. This way, we will stop the magical beasts." Kai ordered.

Hearing the order, she nodded. Considering the number of monsters and their reactions, the army would need to fight continuously for twenty-four hours. However, there was a time they could have a break. It was when there was a gap between the enemy, so the ones that were originally located in those gaps couldn't transmit the distress signal to those behind them.

Michelle's objective was to create that gap.

"Shadow Slash!" She sent a Shadow Slash before disappearing from the battlefield.

Sofia, on the other hand, was stunned. "Are you serious? Do you think we can handle them alone?"

"Probably not. But that is only if we are alone… I will buy time for them." Kai smiled while jumping a few times as if he was stretching his body.

"?!" Sofia tilted her head in confusion.

"You didn't realize the fact that I chose the easiest direction this whole time?" Kai slightly furrowed his eyebrows.

"!!!" The clue immediately shook her heart as she gasped. "You have been saving your energy for this?"

Kai smiled as he glanced at all the monsters in his surroundings and marked them as one, two, three, and so on… To see which one he needed to kill first.

He crossed his arms as he leaped a bit higher this time, falling down on top of the forty-five degrees magic circle. "I will be handling them with my full speed. Some will pass me, so I want you to handle them on your own. Thirty minutes will be the maximum, so use everything you have."

Sofia gulped down as she summoned a huge magic circle underneath her feet. "Understood."

"Alright now…" Kai stepped on the magic circle and launched himself toward his targets. "Time to kill."
