Escape Part III

Night had already descended when they finally arrived at the South Korea military base. Tasha sealed Kai's magic power inside her body again.

Tasha teleported skillfully with Kai to make sure no one found them. Kai guided her to the area one by one and stole a few magic cores. It seemed that they were already very used to this, and that made their parents baffled.

After that, Tasha and Kai moved toward their dock and stole a chopper. The next day, they would realize that one of the helicopters they used to send the soldiers to the front lines was missing.

Tasha and Kai teleported together with the chopper to a small flat area.

"Can you fly it, Dear?" Kudo Chiyo asked.

"I can. This is the same type as the chopper that I used to fly." Yoshihiro nodded. Seeing that, the people were relieved. He said, "Board the chopper."

They immediately boarded the chopper and soared to the sky. He made sure to make a bit of distance from the military base to avoid being found out.

As expected, it was more comfortable than going by the artificial air balloon.

It was a lucky day, They were flying just above the sea since they wouldn't need to fight flying beasts above the seas. Earlier, Ayaka asked why they didn't just fly to the US base immediately. Yoshihiro simply shook his head as it was not possible. "The fuel isn't enough."

"But I can fly. As long as I know the way, I should be able to change the fuel mid-air," Ayaka said.

"Nope. You can't do that. Before you can replace the core, this chopper will fall down the ocean, and even my wind magic won't be able to hold it still as it's too heavy." Yoshihiro shrugged. "That's why we'll land for a while every time we need to change the fuel. At that time, I expect some of you to clear the magical beasts nearby."

All of them nodded.

After a few hours, they needed to land on Russia's border. As expected, there were several magical beasts nearby.

Kudo Chiyo and Becca immediately jumped off the chopper.

"Waterfall." Becca made the first move. A huge amount of water immediately came out of the magic circle and flooded the area.

"Ice Field." After that, Kudo Chiyo immediately used her ice magic to freeze the water to trap the magical beasts.

Seeing that, both of them took out their swords and killed the beasts one by one. Ayaka was surprised to see their prowess. She couldn't even defeat Becca, and when she saw how her mother was stronger than Becca, she gasped.

Yoshihiro let out a chuckle. "Your mother's offensive ability is really great, you know. She just uses it simply, and her movement is a bit easy to predict. That's why your mother can't defeat me. In terms of firepower alone, she might even rival your grandfather."

"You were just like your mother, but it seems that I was worried for nothing." Yoshihiro made a sly smile as he glanced at Kai.

Tasha only snorted as he took out her bow and started shooting the magical beasts from the chopper.

After a few minutes, they managed to secure a foothold. Ayaka didn't even get a chance to help.

Kai immediately used his ears to observe their surroundings. He suddenly cursed, "Holy sh*t."

"What happens, boy?" Yoshihiro asked.

"We need to get away from this place immediately. We're going to be surrounded by at least a thousand magical beasts." Kai said.

"!!!"

"I'll need around fifteen… no, ten minutes to refill the fuel," Yoshihiro said while frowning.

"It seems that our fight earlier attracted their attention, so we need to buy time," Kudo Chiyo said as she turned to her husband. "I'm going to make terrain."

He nodded and warned everyone, "Whatever happens, just don't move."

All of them were perplexed. Kudo Chiyo simply placed her hands on the ground and used her skill. "Iceberg Formation!"

Rumble, rumble.

They looked left and right to see what this rumbling was about. A few huge magic circles appeared beneath their feet as a few icebergs came out of the magic circles and made a small hill. They suddenly got a height advantage.

Kudo Chiyo then looked at James Carter "You can make something more elastic or solid, right?"

"Yeah, that's my magic."

"Can you make a few areas more elastic? This way, the terrain will be more disadvantageous for them." Kudo Chiyo said. She wanted to make traps. It was like running on a hill while having to step in the mud. It would throw the balance off.

James Carter nodded. He started touching a few places and turned them into elastic ice, so when the magical beasts stepped on them, it would bounce a little and hopefully trip the magical beasts.

"Father, come back here. They've arrived," Kai called after two minutes.

James nodded as he made a few more traps on his way to the top. The magical beasts finally started coming from the town. This should be one of the resorts as they could see a few buildings that looked like a hotel around the area.

Some of the magical beasts were coming from the ground and some others climbed the hotel, trying to attack them from above.

"Sister, attack the ones from above," Kai said to Tasha, who then nodded her head in response.

"We're going to be the vanguard." Kudo Chiyo and Becca said. Chiyo then turned to Ayaka and Kai. "You two protect the chopper, okay?"

Kai nodded. "I'll be ready to teleport all of us in case we need it."

Ayaka wanted to join their fight, but she ultimately only nodded her head in the end. There might be a few magical beasts that could pass them and go for the chopper, so fighting here and fighting there would be the same as both were important.

"Go."

"Lightning Piercer." Tasha immediately shot one of her arrows toward a magical beast on top of the building. Although she was only a D-rank at the moment because the magic power was in Kai's body, her lightning element was still powerful.

Tasha only focused on the piercing power of the lightning. Kai could see that the magical beast tried to block her arrow, but it pierced its hand instead and blew its head.

She immediately started killing the others.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Kudo Chiyo and Becca were in a fierce fight.

"Water Flood." It was filling the landscape with water, making the ice hill even more slippery. Numerous magical beasts slipped and brought the others down too.

Kudo Chiyo took advantage of that and made a magic circle. "Icicle!"

She shot out several icicles from the magic circle. Unexpectedly, the beasts didn't really care about that. Even though a few had fallen, the rest immediately charged toward them again.

Suddenly, Kai came to the front and asked. "Ehm… Ma'am, can you freeze the water like before?"

"You can call me Aunt, you know," she corrected him. At first, she was a bit concerned about Ayaka's relationship with Kai, but after a few days together, she thought Kai was the best candidate to be her son-in-law. "As for your question… yes, I can. But it's just adding another layer of ice. It might even make them more comfortable in climbing this since it will cover all of your dad's traps."

"Yes, I know. I noticed that a few of them slipped through the traps, but it's not very effective, I guess."

"Well, better than nothing." Kudo Chiyo said, not wanting to say bad things about James Carter.

"So I have an idea. How about we make ice spikes on the ground, so when they step on them, they will be injured?" Kai asked.

"I wish we could. But my water won't take any shape, so the best I can do is flood the ice and make them more slippery," Becca finally opened her mouth.

"Rest assured, I'll take care of that. Sounds have their own shape."

"Ah, do you want to try that? I remember an experiment where you put water on a speaker, and it burst out." Kudo Chiyo said while recalling the scene.

Kai nodded. "I'll use a high-frequency sound and make them spike."

"All right, let's try it. Becca."

"Yes, Milady." She nodded and made a magic circle. "Water Flood."

"Melody Resonance." He made a magic circle, but this time, it was a huge magic circle that covered the entire ice hill. Since he had gotten his magic power back, he could make a big move like this.

Melody Resonance was a skill to disrupt brain waves, but this time, he only used it as a speaker.

Teng—!

A high pitch sound immediately filled their ears. The sound was dampened by the water, so it didn't bother their ears that much. On the other hand, the water was spiking a bit higher than he expected. It even reached the Magical Beasts' heads. Kai shouted, "Now!"

"Ice Field." The water started freezing from their position to the bottom of the hills.

However, they could see that the spiking water was frozen and made huge ice spikes. Some of them might only reach the foot of magical beasts, but some of them reached their heads and pierced them.

This was like a more extreme version of the barbed wires that were used in the military. They, including Kai, were speechless by the effect. They only thought it would hinder the magical beasts, but to think it could kill them too. Kudo Chiyo suddenly turned her head to Kai and patted his shoulder. "We succeeded, Son."
