Causing Havoc.

The kick headed toward the man's chest, and it was so swift that he had to block it with his hands causing him to move back a little. Ethan didn't plan on giving him chance to rest as he charged toward him again.

And at that moment, the man planned on making use of his power. He was an F-rank bender meaning he possessed the Earth power element. Transferring mana to his leg from his mana core and the ones flowing around, the ground started cracking as it was heading toward, Ethan.

Now, if the cracking reaches Ethan and he ends up matching it, he'll lose balance completely and that would give the man the chance to slash him. But Ethan was too fast, before the cracking got to him, he jumped as he was heading toward the man with slashing intent in mind.

He was in the air currently, and as he was landing, he raised his sword and swung it downwards to slash the man's head as he was landing close to where the man was standing. As the sword got closer to the young man's head, he raised his sword to block the attack, and Ethan's sword landed on his.

'CLANG!'.

The moment Ethan's legs landed on the ground, he threw a swift kick once again. Before the man could dodge it, the kick hit his chest as he moved back a little. The moment he was done moving, Ethan was already in front of him again swinging his sword with force.

The sword slashed his left arm and blood spilled out. Though he felt pain, he tried his very best not to show it as he moved back intending to make use of his power. But Ethan wouldn't let him as he moved toward him with speed once again and swung his sword, he didn't give him the chance to wield mana.

The man blocked the attack with his sword, and at that moment, clashing of swords began. The both of them kept on swinging their swords with speed aiming to slash each other. But Ethan was a really good swordsman, so in the process of them swinging their swords to slash each other…

..Ethan gave the young man a deep slash in the stomach. Then he thrust his sword piercing it right straight into the man's stomach, then he drew it out with force as the man's lifeless body landed on the ground.

He glanced at the man with a stern look on his face, then removed his mask as he could see his face now. Then he voiced out, 

"I'm gonna ask you again, who sent you guys? Who sent you guys to capture my baby?".

With a devilish smirk on his face, the young man retorted, 

"I didn't tell you when I was sound and alive, is it now that you've stabbed me and I'm about to die that I'll tell you?".

And with that, he closed his eyes, he had given up the ghost. Ethan sighed, then glanced front, he was sure that the remaining two must have gone really far with his baby, they must have entered the forest.

And his thinking wasn't wrong, the remaining two assassins had entered the forest and were getting close to the horse and carriage they left in front of the forest. One of them would enter the carriage with the baby, and the other one would ride the horse and carriage away.

'They must have gone really far, I can't reach where they are just by running? I think I'll have to make use of my power'. Ethan thought to himself.

At this point, he was about to make use of his wind power element, he was about to wield a lot of mana. He began running with speed once again, and while running, he was transferring a lot of mana toward his legs. Lots of wind started flowing around his legs.

Then those winds formed a huge wind ball which Ethan was standing on, and the wind ball was moving with immense speed. Then suddenly, a certain force from the wind ball lifted him causing him to fly very high and moving forward at the same time.

The force was so strong that Ethan was now flying over the forest, he could see the top of the forest. After a while, he started dropping into the middle of the forest, but he was in control. Controlling his body, he landed on top of a tree. 

Though it was nighttime and everywhere was somehow dark, the light the moon was producing was illuminating everywhere to a certain extent. So due to this, Ethan could see forward, the forest wasn't so dark that he couldn't see anything.

Glancing forward, due to him being on top of a tree, he could see the far end of the forest. And what did he see? He saw one of the assassins mounting a horse that was attached to a carriage. He didn't see the other one that was with his baby, and at that moment, he discerned, 

'The other one must have entered the carriage with my son. If they think they can escape with my son just like that, then they must be joking'.

At that moment, he began strategizing on how he was gonna take his baby, he didn't want to do anything that would put Aiden's life in danger. He was about to make use of his wind power again, and what he planned on doing could put Aiden's life in danger.

He squatted on that tree thinking about what he was gonna do. And by now, the man had already put the horse in motion. Not even up to a minute, he came up with a nice plan that he was gonna use in getting, Little Aiden, without putting his life in danger.

What he was about to do would cost him a lot of mana, he was gonna make use of his wind power twice, it might also cost him some strength. He was a warrior, he had undergone serious training, he wasn't a small boy, so his mana core wasn't of low rank.

His mana core wasn't like most of those high-ranked and medium-ranked chiefs. His mana core wasn't like that of a small child that had just awakened his or her power. His mana core was of high rank, his mana core was at the final stage, the strongest stage. So he could make use of mana limitlessly without it draining or him getting tired.

He stood on the tree then began transferring a lot of mana toward his legs. Then another wind ball formed under his legs as he was standing on it currently. Then a force from the wind ball lifted him again as he was flying and glancing at the top of the wilderness once again.

According to what he had already calculated, he was gonna land on the horse harness. That's the thing that was attaching the horse to the carriage. He was gonna destroy it, he was gonna break it to split the carriage from the horse.

He was already dropping, and truly, he was gonna land on the horse harness. But the force of his legs alone can't do the job of breaking the horse harness? Extra force needs to be added to his feet for the horse harness to split. So while dropping toward the horse harness, he had already formed another wind ball under his feet.

With the force of this wind ball, the horse harness was gonna destroy completely...it was gonna split. He formed a mini-size wind ball so he wouldn't cause too much damage. Remember, his son, Aiden, was in the carriage.

He was getting closer to the horse harness, and the moment the wind ball under his feet touched the horse harness…

'SWOOSH!'

The horse harness broke immediately as heavy wind flowed around, and the carriage split from the horse causing it to move backward, and the horse neighed loudly. The man riding the horse lost balance and almost fell off the horse.

The moment Ethan's feet landed on the ground, he transferred mana straight to his sword, gathered enough wind, and swung it backward as a wind slash began heading toward the neck of the young man on the horse. The wind slash touched his neck, and he felt extreme pain as he fell off the horse and landed on the ground with a thud.

..And at that moment, he was extremely weak.

The man in the carriage was really shocked by what happened just now, he was recovering from it. In fact, he hadn't come to understand what happened. He held Little Aiden in his hands and was glancing around. At that moment, Ethan glanced at the carriage and muttered to himself, 

"Young man, it's your turn".
