The Magician of Sound

Kai stood tall above the army, looking down on them. He raised his hand and shouted, "Kill them!"

"Uoh!" The soldiers cheered for Ria's terrifying attack. They all could see the shock wave produced from the collision and the burning ground as its trail. They realized this was the power that killed the S Rank Magical Beasts in the past. 

"Princess, we should retreat right now." Seei squinted his eyes, feeling something big was going to happen.

"No, we can't just return like this. At the very least, we need to kill that woman. Even if we can't kill Kai Carter, we need to eliminate that woman right now. She is dangerous." Ilareca shook her head as she became desperate.

The power was too much of a shock to her. She feared the possibility of Ria becoming as strong as her, the mermaid princess, whose power was second only to their absolute king.

If that happened, no one could predict the future.

Unfortunately, before the fight started again, a high pitched sound echoed. The sound is like that of a whale crying as if telling them something.

Kai furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't understand this language meant this sound was a roar, not a language.

And the only one who could produce such a sound to the point it vibrated the ground was the Protector of the Sea, Whale Queen.

"What is this?" The soldiers started panicking.

"The ground… The ground is trembling due to the noise."

"It's loud, but why doesn't it hurt our ears?"

It was such a disturbing yet wondrous cry from the Whale Queen. Unfortunately, not a single of them understood what was happening.

"This is the Whale Queen." Ilareca gritted his teeth.

"It's impossible. She is neutral this whole time… Why does she…" Seei furrowed his eyebrows while Marza regrouped with them.

To their surprise, Kai suddenly raised his head, looking at an unknown object flying toward them. The object was smaller than a human body, but those who knew it certainly got scared because they never expected to see such an intervention.

"I'm sorry, but I need to stop this war," said him as his appearance was revealed.

It was none other than the pink dolphin Kai met in the Amazon Rainforest, Tris.

"Sir…" The sea race trio quickly kneeled in front of him, realizing the entire situation.

"My mentor asked me to tell you guys that this war is over. Whatever you are going to do is going to hurt lives unnecessarily, especially with the fact that this happens without the oversight of both race protectors," said Tris with a calm expression.

"…" Ilareca and the others couldn't say a single word. They simply lowered their heads, not saying anything.

On the other hand, the humans didn't know anything about this pink dolphin that somehow floated in the air.

They all looked at Kai's back, wondering if Kai knew about it as well.

Unfortunately for them, whatever they wanted to know was not possible to be acquired.

Tris simply turned around as his eyes shone in blue. The next second, all soldiers and magical beasts had their eyes shone like him and stood still as if they were hypnotized.

"!!!" Those who were not hypnotized drew a gasp as they saw Tris' power. Though, there were only five people who stayed sane this whole time: the sea race trio, Kai Carter, and Ria Ross.

Kai might have seen Tris in Amazon Forest, but he certainly never experienced his power. To think he could hypnotize four hundred thousand living beings in an instant, as one would expect from a Protector or what people thought as half God.

"I apologize, but only those who are qualified can hear this conversation," said Tris while turning to Kai. "I have destroyed all the cameras so as to prevent anyone from knowing my existence. In any case, let me inform you about my intention in coming here."

Noticing what happened, Ria quickly returned to the battlefield before Tris started his explanation while the sea race trio gulped down, knowing what he wanted to say.

When Ria arrived, she was completely focused and alarmed at the same time, not understanding the entire situation.

Tris simply turned to Ilareca and stated, "You shall go back right here right now. If you continue this war, we shall deem it genocide. You may have already known, but I need to remind you there are only two actions that can decide the entire race's future.

"The first way is to gain complete control over that race because there's no ruler who leads them. This is only allowed when you live in the same environment as them. Second, you can conquer the race when both sides have agreed to this war that holds the entire race's fate.

"This is the ancient treaty that has been agreed upon by 74 Protectors in order to restore the order of this planet. If this is broken, Earth can only find nothing but flames and destruction in every corner…

"Since you can't do the first way after Kai Carter is born, you need to go through the second route. However, what you are doing is not assassination but genocide. This is already beyond the agreement, so I declare with my right as the Dolphin Race Protector, this war is done.

"If the sea race continues this war, I shall help the Human Race to thoroughly destroy the Sea Race even if I need to find Neptune myself." Tris squinted his eyes, releasing a bit of his killing intent.

However, what was surprising was the fact that Ilareca and the others started gasping for air.

Kai didn't understand this, but he thought this was a kind of attack coming from Tris.

Little did he know he was still underestimating Tris' power. In that instant, the trio already entered his illusion and got stabbed to death a few times. This was Tris' way of asserting his dominance.

"We… We understand." Ilareca nodded furiously, not daring to disobey his word because Tris could kill them in an instant. "We will retreat right away. We apologize for making Your Majesty Tris come here. We would like to apologize for making Her Highness the Whale Queen warn us."

Tris nodded as the Magical Beasts began to retreat. Tris had yet to let go of his control and forced those beasts to retreat so they wouldn't see his figure when they came back to their senses.

"This is your last warning. The two kings that oversee the war have yet to be fulfilled, so the war can't be accepted. Tell Neptune that we are always watching every movement on this planet."

Ilareca nodded and replied politely, "Yes. Ilareca, the daughter of the sea, has understood Your Majesty's words and shall relay this message to my father."

"Good." Tris nodded and waved his fin. "Now, go."

The trio bowed their heads once more before turning around, leaving the battlefield.

When they had gotten quite far, Ilareca took a peek at Tris, Kai, and Ria again while sorting her thoughts on what they should report to Neptune.

Meanwhile, Tris was indifferent to her glance and turned to Kai with a warm smile. "Yo, it's been a while since we last met. I have gathered the necessary information from everyone's mind… I guess I can say it now. It's my pleasure to meet the Human Race Protector, Kai Carter."
