Mada fights Mada the Great Raider after he passes Bura to us with his leg like a ball. While he fights the other Mada, the other bandits simply let them fight and attack us. It seems their real objective is Nevi. We need to defend ourselves against the hundred people left.

“What’s with him? He just marches on alone and left us with all of these problems.” I complain as I fight the incoming bandits.

All of them are two words and three words fugitive while I’m just mere three words fugitive. I hate to admit it but I have a hard time handling these bandits.

Eri suddenly appears in front of me and takes care few of the bandits at once. Her right hand is covered with a dim light that forms a shape of a claw so does her right leg. The only thing I could do is defends against their blunt weapon or raw power attack with Earth Connection. Every time I try to put pinpoint explosion on their body, they manage to avoid it or throw any clothes that I touched.

“Stay back, Reis. You just mere three words.” Eri told me to back off. “Even without the Perfect Role Play, I’m still a two words nobody.”

“What? I thought you’re the sly type that never fight anybody.” I can’t help but ask it.

“Huhuhu, she was the founder and the trainer of dojo of ki manipulation.” Kurua answers me while he fends off any enemies coming for him without dropping a sweat. “She could defeat two words titled easily. But yes, she had a hard time of fighting one word titled. So, as long as the enemies are not one word titled, she could defeat them.”

Okay, that’s new for me. Why Mada didn’t tell me about it? Kurua even manage to defeat them without using any weapon or any ki manipulation like Eri does. Is that mean his raw power is more than enough?

While we fend off any enemies that’s coming, Erfia and Nevi cancel any magic that’s being cast or dispel any magic that’s being used by the enemies.

I look into Mada. I can see he’s watching the other Mada’s movement, technique, style, and weapon. He’s not serious at all.

“MADA! FINISH IT QUICKLY!” I yell at my lung capacity.

***

It seems Reis knows that I’m not serious and just playing around with this person. I’m pretty sure she’s a woman from her movement. But I can’t really sure as she wears layers of clothes and armor and it seems the mask has a voice changer magic. But yes, I’m 80% sure she’s a woman.

With a buckler on her left hand and a cutlass on her right hand, she manages to deflect my attacks and match my normal movement.

“You’re good enough for someone acting as Mada’s pupil.” I try to talk to her while sending attacks and parry her attacks.

“I’m not acting, I am his pupil. Why you’re so insist that I’m just acting?”

“Because I know him good.”

I swing my lance sword so hard she takes a step back to minimize the damage.

“And who are you?” She asks me with a pissed tone.

“You really are just a mere bandit to not know me.” I stand tall and put my lance sword in my shoulder. “Let me introduce you, my name is Mada Jeian of the Vorks, I’m Mada the Black Trader. And Mada the Raider is my regular client.”

“So? Just because he’s your regular client, doesn’t mean you know everything about him.” She points her cutlass to me. “I know your name, and I don’t like you. A mere trader like you are not worth for him.”

Did she seriously think like that? What kind of delusion she got into? But I can’t deny the way she moves resemble my movement. If she paid enough attention, she could tell that our movement is nearly same. But, apparently she’s not that good.

She dropped her cutlass and her buckler. I take a stance as I see it. She’s being dead serious right now. I can see it that she’s not trying her best previously.

She takes a few steps back and takes something from the ground.

I’m waiting. I’d like to know her fighting capability.

As I look carefully, she’s taking a big chunk of iron. She draws some symbol on the iron with her right hand and then the iron is deforming. In just a short moment, the iron has changed into a long bow. Wait a minute, I recognize the shape. It’s resembling the Pointing Tip of Desperation. She put her finger in the end of the arrow and a string of ray is formed. It’s a magic.

A woman using alchemy to change an iron into a bow and a using a magic as its string. I think I know this person. Now that I know who this person might be, I’d like to see how good she is at imitating me.

~Power Boost~

She cast a body enhancement spell to boost her power. She’s stepping on some box and few spears spiking out in front of her. One spear is shot at me. I deflect it with my shield. I can say the power is not as strong as my shoot but I can say she’s at least 4 times stronger than a normal person right now.

She takes another spear and cast something on its end. An explosion spear, eh. She shot it and I avoided it. The area behind me exploded as it lands.

“You’re great for an illegitimate pupil.” I try to mock her. “But Mada’s distinguishing mark is not only his long bow that shoots spears.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

~Speed Boost~

~Agility Boost~

~Air Jump~

She cast another three magic simultaneously and charge at me. She shot one spear and I deflected it. In that short time, she changes her long bow into a pair of swords. One sword is covered in fire and the other is covered in raging wind. She cast a magic at both of the swords. She’s trying to imitate me when I used Burning Sword and Razor Wind.

I put my lance sword back into the sheath inside the shield and defend against her attack. I pass the shield from my right hand to my left hand and vice versa to compete her speed as she’s jumping around in the air try to attack me. Burning Sword and Razor Wind has one weakness, its effect can’t get through an object. So, it’s only burning my shield and the wind is only attacking my shield.

I keep on defending until a minute pass and she’s stopping. She’s breathing fast.

“Even Mada can only manage that attack for 10 minutes non-stop. I guess you’re not so bad.” I praise her.

“How? How can you manage to defend against all of my attack? And how did you know it?”

I show her some smile and then stick my Pair of Dragon and Phoenix in the ground.

~The greatness of wind and earth has been proved.~

I dispel the Wind of Speed and take a stance. My palm opened forward and I lower my body. I put my right hand facing forward while my left hand below it and a bit closer to my chest.

~O the almighty watcher, I wish you to grant this selfish wish of mine and let me borrow those touches of yours, the hand of the creator.~

~By the will of red blood, let this body of mine contain your whole might. As I say, blood transformation.~

I let out the incantation out loud so she could hear me. But at that time I cast all of my magic in silent incantation, so I’m sure she didn’t know about my magic or incantation.

“I’ll defeat you in the next attack. You better prepare yourself.” I provoke her.

She’s pissed as she charges towards me. She jumps around so fast. If I’m not using my blood transformation, I won’t be able to see her movement. She’s using air jump to put some air barrier that she can step on so she can move around easily.

She comes with both of her swords make an x slash. By using the blood transformation, I could see her movement and adding hand of the creator I could feel her movement is changing the flow of wind. By using both of these things, I could see where her attack will likely to come. I take a step to the side and lower my body to avoid it. Her eyes wide open when I avoid her attack. I hold her lower body with my left hand while my right hand touches her back.

I flow some electricity to her nervous system in her back when I touch her and I press her to the ground. The dirt around us are flying in the air creates some dust covering both of us.

“AGGHHH!” She lets out a sound of pain.

~The Almighty Watcher is being too kind. The might of the red blood has emerged in victory~

I dispel both of my magic and the dust has disappeared.

“What, what did you do to my body? I can’t move it!”

“I disable your hands and legs movement. It will heal by itself for the next two days.”

I disarmed both of her swords and make her lay on her back. I put my hand on her mask and take it off. A short black hair with a yellow eyes like a snake eyes. When I took the mask off, the ear is changed into a pointy ear of elf. The last distinguishing feature of her is that pair of horn above her eyes. It’s just a tiny horn so the mask managed to cover it. She’s a half blood of Demon and Elf.

“Just as I thought, Xiel.” I talk to her while looking into her face.

“Wait, how do you know my name?”

Now that her mask is off, I can clearly hear her girl voice.

“Before I answer your question, let me praise you for being so great even when I never taught you anything. You manage to imitate it just by seeing it for one time.” I let out some proud voice. “But unfortunately you’re totally wrong.

“Mada didn’t use a speed enhancement magic, he’s using a magic to manipulate air and ground. Second, Mada didn’t use an agility enhancement magic, he’s using it to increase his reflex and mind processing time. Third, Mada never use a power enhancement magic, it’s his body’s power. Get it? The final form is almost the same but unfortunately the basic and the processes is totally different. But the final mistake is, he never raids some caravan with a group of bandits to get some money or food. He only raids something worth enough like a relict.”

“Ho, how did you know?” she’s more calm than before now.

I look around and see the others are pretty far from us. I lower my body and put my right hand in between us. The space in my right hand is distorted and I take my clown mask out of the Keeper. I can see her eyes are focusing on my hand.

“No, no way.” Xiel opened her eyes wide.

“Yes, I am Mada the Raider.” I said it to her as I put my mask.

“HEY MADA! WE MANAGE TO CAPTURE SOME OF THEM! WE”LL TAKE THEM FOR INTERROGATION!” Reis yells at me.

I put my mask back on the Keeper and stand. I take a deep breath and let out a loud voice. “I’ll also take this Mada the Great Raider.”

“Just kill me already? Aren’t you always kill everybody that knows your identity?”

“I’m considering.”
