The Story of the Wind Wanderer
Assaulted #12

His two eyes were still closed, standing firmly, with a sword he was holding pointing towards the ground. Altezza looks so calm, silent, and feel the atmosphere around him. Every wind that blows through the trees passes through every place in the forest. Everything he could feel, as if he could see what the wind was through. Very sensitive, that was how the young prince felt at this time, every movement either because of friction between the leaves, or even animals moving between the bushes and trees. All of these things he could feel, vaguely but felt.

Kenan was just silent, faithfully waiting behind the prince in a standby manner. Likewise with the soldiers who participated in the entourage sent by the King. They could only wait until the Altezza was completely finished, but remained with the alert formation as instructed.

A few minutes passed, and Altezza had explored every location, every corner, even every impossible place an adult human could enter with the wind. But the results are still nil. He found no indication of a suspicious place used as a hideout for the bandits.

All the places and every corner of this forest had been traced, except for one location that had not been touched by the wind. Altezza immediately rushed to the place, not rushed literally of course, he controlled the wind to get to where he meant. There is a large cave, located on the slope of a hill, and the cave is located quite far from its position. Goa in question is very closed by the shade of the trees that exist, so he suspects that the place is used as a hiding place.

DEG.

Just a little more wind his blowing up to the cave. But it was immediately stopped by Altezza who suddenly opened his eyes, turned to Kenan and the soldiers behind him and then said, "someone is coming, get ready!" said, firmly.

Hearing this, Kenan and the soldiers instantly drew their swords, preparing for any eventuality. There was a lot of movement in the trees around, very fast, difficult to be seen by the naked eye. So fast, making Kenan and the other soldiers very confused to be able to see how many people are surrounding. Altezza and his entourage were besieged by something not so clear yet, how many were they, and whether they were intended bandits.

Their movements suddenly stopped, there was no sound of friction from the leaves due to the movements they caused. No one can see who, anywhere, and where they came from. But the silence was again created, even so Kenan and the soldiers still put a vigilant and alert attitude.

"They were still behind the trees, a total of fifteen, and all of them were indicated by sorcerers. You better stay close to me!" altezza said, stepping a little closer with his soldiers and also Kenan. Thanks to the wind loyal to him, he could detect existences as well as even sense their abilities.

"Do you know where they are?" ask Kenan. The question immediately got an answer from Altezza who said, "everywhere, we are surrounded from all directions."

Moments after Altezza spoke so. Four fireballs of considerable size suddenly appeared, shot out from behind the trees, and made Altezza and his soldiers a target. With so fast and swift, the young prince immediately thrust his sword into the ground, followed by a protector made of wind blowing very fiercely, towering upwards surrounded the banyan tree as well as the people below it.

Collisions and reactions of elements are inevitable. The barrier did indeed manage to protect Altezza and his soldiers, but not those outside the barrier. The fire raged fiercely, burning the trees around, even the bandits also burned, exposed to the attack they created and made it as a weapon to eat master. In the vicinity, only the banyan trees and grasses trampled by Altezza and his unburned soldiers, were still lush green.

Everything happened very quickly, unexpectedly and shocked Kenan and his soldiers. They could only be silent as long as the magicians clashed against each other, especially when Altezza launched his action by creating a barrier that was quite large and very high. The barrier was twice as large and powerful as the barrier created by Altezza when facing the robbery bandits in the kingdom some time ago.

"They are in the weakest condition. It'll soon be short, before they can move their hands and fingers!" altezza said after removing the barrier, and then gave his word to the soldiers who were with him, including Kenan.

Bandits who originally numbered fifteen people, now left ten, five of them unfortunately had to die because of the burning charred. Altezza again controlled his wind, locked up and bound the bandits with his wind magic. They were magicians, then also had to be held back with magic as well, otherwise they would still be able to freely cast spells while moving their hands or fingers.

Kenan immediately did as the prince ordered, along with the other soldiers. Both the hands and feet of each bandit had been bound by a magic bond, so they would not be able to escape, or cast spells to use magic again.

Altezza approached one of them, a man in all black clothes, could only sit leaning against one of the trees, and held his left arm which received a severe burn. Both the man's hands and feet were already bound by his wind magic.

"Say, where's the hideout?" Altezza stared intently as he stood before the man.

The man looked at Altezza with a look that seemed to be trifling him. But with his calm demeanor, Altezza again spoke, "let's just say, I won't hesitate to finish you off."

"A prince like you will never do that to an enemy who can't do anything" said the man, speaking with condescending intonation of Altezza.

Hearing this actually provoked laughter Altezza. A prince like himself cannot do this, for there is indeed a rule that if the enemy can do nothing, he deserves forgiveness. But unfortunately that does not seem to apply to Altezza. The man directly pierced the man's left arm with a wind magic made sharp by him.

Jleebb ...!!

"Ugghkk ...!!!" The man immediately groaned in pain.

"I will still not hesitate to finish your life here right now, no matter the rules that are full of nonsense. Too bad, you picked me wrong as your opponent." Altezza brought himself closer, even brought his mouth closer to one of the man's ears, then spoke with a very low intonation and seemed very cold.

After speaking like that, Altezza then took off the sharp wind magic piercing the left arm of the man, and then moved back to Kenan to immediately bring the man down. The man who had spoken at will, and was seen to underestimate Altezza, is now made silent a thousand languages. Seen from both of his eyes were staring at the figure of the second prince with fear, and regret, especially after what he got just now. In his mind, he was a terrifying prince.
