The bandits gathered everyone on the same spot. Someone enters Seiko's tent. He looks at Seiko and says, "So you are at Captain tier."
"Yes I'm, what about you? Which tier are you?"
"Knight" 'What is wrong, why do I feel strange about him' the man thought.
The thief noticed someone was going out from the back of the tent. He realized Seiko was not the person at captain tier, it was that person. Who got out. He tried to get out but before that, Seiko punched him. He could not understand when he got so close, and why he didn't feel increased mana?
As soon as Rachid got out he used his magic to create an ice wall around the captured people and tents so that they can not harm them and take away anything.
Observing the fight The thief understood the reason why he felt strange around Seiko. The reason is clear. Seiko has no mana so he could not detect him. Rachid was hiding behind so he misunderstood who's mana he was feeling.
He laughs and says "Good plan, Very good plan. Too bad with your current level you can't beat me."
Seiko says, "Really?" He shots, "Rachid! pass my sword."
Rachid throws a straight wooden stick.
"Rachid, take care of those minions I will take care of this boss."
"I'm excited."
Aiming at The thief's head, Seiko shoots his wooden stick at an incredible speed. The thief dodged it very easily. He realized Seiko is not in his front rather he is behind him. Seiko catches the stick and hits the thief with it.
The thief gets pushed back. He is in serious shock. 'Did he used teleportation magic? No, it's impossible.' He looks at the ground. 'It was pure strength. Damn you! I could not detect him because he doesn't have any mana.'
"Looks like I have to use my full power." The thief uses his electricity and strikes at Seiko.
it was clear that Seiko got hit. But it didn't do anything to him. He is surprised.
Seiko says, "Don't you know electricity doesn't have any effect on wood? Luckily I have one."
"If that doesn't work, then I will do something else."
In an instant, he stood in front of Seiko and punched him. It is a direct hit. He feels cold. It was a clone made by Rachid.
Rachid made an ice wall that worked the same as a mirror. It reflected Seiko's image and made a clone.
"Nice punch but that's a clone."
He dashed towards Seiko and punched.
"Why are you punching in the air? I'm here."
Seiko starts to multiply. This multiply was different than before.
Let me explain what is going on. Rachid is making the air cold. That way the air is denser than before. The illusions are created in the same way as a mirage is created. By chance, if you don't know how a mirage is created then go and study. I'm sure you won't go to study so I have to explain it. We see light because it reflects. Light changes the angle of direction if it goes from low density to high-density substance or from high density to the low-density substance. If the angle is over 90 degrees then it stays at the high-density substance. It only happens when the light goes from high-density substance to low-density. The air around the ground is hotter than the air above. So when the light reflects on the ground it changes its direction and creates an illusion. But this illusion takes distance. By making the air cold it becomes denser and the angle of light changes more than normal. The way they got rid of the big distance.
He again dashes towards Seiko. It turned out to be an illusion too. He can't sense where real Seiko is because Seiko doesn't have any mana. So It was hard for him to hit Seiko. But he dashed again. He noticed he is not seeing any illusions. He sees that Seiko is fighting with his goons. He dashed again and tried to kick him but Rachid created an ice wall in front of his attack. He laughs and says, " It's useless the broken pieces of ice will hit him and I have passed electricity on them."
Rachid says "I don't think so." The broken pieces start to create more ice and accumulate with other ice, and halted spreading.
Seiko turns back and punches him.
Rachid can recast his magic at the previous spot he cast his magic. He had to cast his magic at the refrigerator after a certain time. He had to open the box which is painful for him. So he developed this technique in the last few weeks.
For some reason instead of fighting back, they started to run away. Rachid wanted to follow them but Seiko stopped him. They started to see if they stole anything. They didn't steal anything precious. But they stole most of the food. It was quite unusual.
Most of the crew members got scared. They don't have enough food to continue. But they have enough food to withdraw. If they retreat they can not come back because they don't have enough money. They can not decide what to do.
Seiko says, "I have fish, fruits, and some water in my box. If we eat slowly we can survive."
With a serious look, he says, "I have put every single thing that I had in this journey. Even if you guys leave I won't."
They didn't have any other choice but to take the risk. They couldn't eat well. they could not satisfy their thirst. After walking for a week, they saw a group of travelers. They were coming towards them with high speed on horseback.
Seiko and the crew shouted. After a little, they saw them and went there. One of the men was wearing richer clothes than others, it was clear he was the leader. He asks, "What happened?
