"How did they get here?" asked Altair. 

Pino replied, "I don't know, they follow you very persistently,"

“Did you have enemies before?” asked Pino back.

"I don't know, but if Altair..." suddenly someone was above Altair's head who was about to jump to attack.

That person had been on the tree as a guide from above, saw Altair who was about to climb on the same tree, the bandit hid towards a tree that was even higher.

The bandit who jumped from above was holding a dagger in his left hand. The other hand wanted to grip Altair's body. Seeing the movement of the bandit Altair dodged his attack.

Down below were already many bandits waiting for him to fall. Altair stood at the end of a tree branch. The situation was desperate, from below several people were shooting with arrows and spears.

Altair had to concentrate.

“Do you want to come with us voluntarily or by force?” asked the bandit in front of Altair.

"What are you looking for me for?" asked Altair.

Altair felt sure that he had really left a trail so that no one would recognize him. Moreover, Altair has used a necklace that can change his original figure.

"We were only ordered to take you, nothing more," said the bandit with his sword playing position.

"You don't need to know how we found you." There was another scream from below who looked like a bandit leader.

Pino flew towards Altair's hand and transformed himself into a needle sword. Altair immediately grasped the sword in his hand and swung forward.

It didn't take long for Altair to jump and charge forward. The bandit who saw Altair wielding a sword that had come from nowhere, was slightly surprised and immediately fought back.

Altair's attacks were easily parried by the bandits, from below they also didn't stop showering Altair with arrows. Altair saw the blemish and tried to fight in order to jump over the tree behind his enemy.

However, on the other hand, the tree that Altair was targeting had been controlled by bandits who would also follow his friend. Altair was confused. There is no way out for him. Attempts Altair to attack the opponent in front of him, slashing the sword in the face.

The bandit looks angry, he also attacks so he can hurt Altair or can knock him down his comrades have been waiting to catch Altair. The footrests from the tree branches felt slippery and the branches were too narrow, causing Altair to lose his balance.

Altair who was about to fall plunged the tip of his sword into the body of the branch. Making a handle so that he doesn't fall down after he managed to stand up quickly Altair attacked again.

Attack this time to escape, Altair saw a gap from the top of the tree that might be able to pass his opponent and jump from tree to tree.

Luckily Altair's Mana was full after entering the Saintess's room. Altair tried to focus Mana all over his body covering it. Serves to maximize every movement and senses. 

Again Pino reabsorbed Altair's Mana however, Altair didn't care. The sword in the hand turned into a stronger sword with slotted segments and hooks between the edges.

Altair was happy, it turned out that this god's pet knew how to thank him.

Altair attacked the bandit with a single strike, breaking the training he was using. Penetrating and slashing the bandit's hand, the blood gushed out causing sparks everywhere.

The bandit screamed and fell down. Now Altair doesn't have to jump up anymore. Altair ran quickly jumping one by one tree. The people below caught up quickly and some were on horseback.

"Actually where do they get arrows from, why don't they ever run out?" said Altair, looking down.

Passing several people on the tree, Altair also easily wielded the sword in his hand. Altair's arm was hit by an arrow.

However, since Mana Altair protected him it had no effect on him. Altair was happy and confident so he was determined to learn more to control Mana to become the successor of Magic Mana.

Elsewhere several people were preparing nets to trap Altair. The bandits below realized Altair was a Mana controller, so they prepared another trap.

Dismantling the trap that Altair had seen earlier and then installing Mana Stones filled with electricity. The pursuers thought the Mana stones they placed would serve to sting his Altair. However, Altair is a candidate for Mana control he doesn't need Mana stones like other ordinary people.

The people who are constructing the intelligent net, they also attach beads to absorb and seal Mana in case the electric Mana stones don't work on Altair.

The bandits were very compact they communicated with a whistle that only their members could understand. Altair only heard their whistles. However, Altair suspected that they must be making plans up front.

Altair, not knowing their plan, was led into a trap so Altair stood on a final tree above the ravine. There was no other way out for him to run.

Each tree is climbed by 2 to 3 people. Below you can see people waiting for him to fall. Altair had to face them in order to find an opening for him to run.

Some of the other bandits were hiding in the bush waiting for their chance. The battle resumed, Altair quickly looked for an opening where not many people were guarding among the trees.

Altair jumped on the boulder like lightning, feeling that Altair was coming they prepared. With one slash someone had fallen, two people from opposite directions attacked Altair simultaneously.

Altair parried the spear used by one of the opponents, cut a piece of wood to break the iron spear running over the broken wooden spear and quickly kicked the enemy's chin so that it bounced and fell.

At the same time, Altair jumps flip up towards the back of another enemy.

Seeing that Altair was about to immobilize him, the other opponents turned around swiftly. Strongly slashing Altair's sword made the hilt of the sword in Altair's hand tremble slightly, almost Altair let go of the sword in his hand.

Altair didn't want his defeat to be like a duel with the commander-in-chief, Altair immediately aimed the sword by turning the handle of the sword and gripping the sword firmly.

Altair's right slash took the opponent by surprise but didn't make the bandit give up.

The bandit endured the pressure of Altair's sword with a serious face, Altair concentrated more Mana to coat the sword, the flowing Mana pushed Altair's sword towards the face to frighten the opponent.

The sheer weight of Altair's sword strike dropped his opponent's sword in hand. Seeing the enemy's sword fall, Altair immediately slashed his leg and injured him.

Altair shoved his foe with the sharp side of his sword.

After facing several people who were blocking him, Altair jumped towards another tree, in front of him someone could also be seen jumping towards him. Altair prepared to slash the enemy who was also carrying a sword.

The battle in the air made the balance of the two waver. Altair who jumped backwards to take some distance and prepared, was surprised by an electric net that had Mana.

At each end of the net there was a Mana stone that ran over the entire surface of the net. The net is fired using the device below. Altar who tried to dodge could not run.

Luckily Altair wasn't electrocuted because it was covered in Mana all over his body however, after seeing that there were small beads hanging in the gaps of the net, the beads in the net suppressed Altair's Mana flow.

These beads are also creations developed by the Onder de family, only this experimental material was stolen by magicians from outside the empire by manipulating lies in the name of diplomacy.

Altair tried to slash with swords but in vain, their nets were made of special silver where swords could neither slash nor damage.

Immediately after being trapped in Mana Altair slowly stopped the sword in hand returned to its original size and then disappeared.

Altair returned to his own figure. The enemy who had jumped to attack Altair, was now standing close to the net that was on the branch of a large tree.

"Who are you?" shouted the man as he drew his sword in front of Altair he looked like their boss.

Altair realized that now he had returned to his original form. The angry boss saw another person in the net with his feet pushing Altair down.

Altair's feeling of weakness and helplessness made him the subject of everyone's gaze below.

“Is this really the person we are looking for?” asked another bandit.

"That's right, there's no one else but us and him here," said another.

"Whatever it is, our agreement to arrest this person according to the client's request is complete," said the head of the bandit.

"Bring him!" the bandit chief ordered in a loud voice, "and be careful he might attack us again."

There was a loud noise of people preparing to carry Altair with the net still wrapped around him. Altair stared at them in disbelief.

Pino after turning himself into a sword then disappeared after a sudden attack. Altair struggled to fight back and break free from the net.

Seeing Altair who was determined to run away, the bandit leader ordered his men to beat Altair. Altar who cowered to protect looked in pain, they beat them with swords, arrows, wood or spears.

Feelings of annoyance and anger left bruises and bruises all over his body, after there was no more resistance. They bound Altair's wrists with beaded silver.

Bind Altair's body making it difficult to move. Altair was forced to walk into a chest box, Altair who refused to enter was knocked down by hitting the back of the neck until he fainted.

Altair fainted and was immediately brought to the person who ordered their services.
