Chapter 8: King Of Disguise

"You... Who are you?" Paul questioned the Old man while checking on the injuries of Emin.

"Well I'm an old man living deep beneath the woods you could *Cough* *Cough* say..." The old man was acting like a real old man he's kinda frail and was struggling to even stand still.

"Well... King? why would you call me such a thing old man, I'm mere 17 years old ...." Paul never did admitted he's the past King, But the old man didn't believe the excuse Paul said, and he even went close to Paul.

"You are the King I know it!" He pointed into his chest. "Because I know deep inside you are hiding a deep grunge over the new king.."

Paul is a respectful of especially into the Elders. Ultimetley he decided to gave up from pretending and he finally acknowledge the old man from discovering his real identity.

Paul just sighed real hard, He didn't actually expect people especially an old man to discover his secret."You how did you know"

"Don't worry my King I'm old as turtle now... no one is even gonna believe me even if I say the King is Alive."

"You have some place we could rest my friends here?" Paul questioned as applying healing magic the Injuries of his party members.

"I do have My King, come follow me I'll help you bring your friends also.."

Then suddenly a magic disc appeared below them as they floated and Paul and the old man to the right, into the tress only 23 meters away is a house..

"You got a great house Old man not gonna lie.."

The old man got suprised considering is typical house and it was built in the middle of the wilderness. "Well This is my only place after all Come inside, let me treat their wounds instead of you and let's talk."

*So He's a doctor? I thought he is a Martial Artist?* Paul questioned himself as he followed the suggestion of the old man and went inside the house.

The house is your typical house. It got a chimmey on the roof it has brown walls and a blue roof, has two floors with a balcony and it is in the middle of a clear circle surrounding them by huge trees.

As time went passed and the wounds of Paul's party where either badged up or healed, now they are just sleeping because of the Intimidation Chi Aura was used to them..

The nature could be heard loudly. Birds were chirping singing creating their own melodies. The sun was even more beatiful it may be day but the rays of the sun is not that hot and you could see it into the far distance.

"Sit..." the old man said.

The sat side by side. They relaxed for a bit and just rest for the time being. They each are just looking into the green leaves of the trees, the clear blue sky above and the white clouds.

"You must have alot of question My King let me answer them in advance.. I knew it was you because of the sword skill you used.. I'm a little bit of fan by you 10 years ago even if I'm just 50 back then, ever since I hear about you I became more determined about my skills, I reached to the 4th Realm of The Chi Aura three although it is sad I reached it on this age, old and weak bones..." As the face of the old man became gloomy out of the dissapointment out of wasting his prime years on just cultivating and only reaching the second best Realm on the Chi Aura three.

"But there is another techniques to.." Paul cut in but..

"To be more less prone to age yes, but I didn't learn or cultivate about it...Personal reasons I guess..."

Paul bowed his head out of respect to his desicions "well what are you doing here anyways?"

*cough *cough "Well I was a Healer in the past King, King Jonathan of the Kingdom Of Leaves now Capital. I was the best healer you see! And still is... I retired two years before you liberated the Kingdom, went here alone. I grew rather sad about how many people were getting hurt by the enemies and also by greed. So I admired you because you put that into the bin. At that time I was in second Realm Of Extraordinary I was about in Layer tenth. I wanted to be in your army so I trained and train, cultivate and cultivate because it's just my only thing to do. But it was to late I went into the capital to suggest myself into the arny only to find out your dead already...." The face of the old man can be seen darken as the lines of his face because of his age emerged because of his sadness.

"I'm sorry you know..... I was beaten and I too am dissapointed into myself. You are saying you've tried to go to my army so after that you went here again and just stayed here?" Paul asked the old man while he looks and wait on the coming reply.

"Well yes, After that... Ah! I remembered the time you fought someone in the mountain range A-po. I was there because it was a good cultivation place but I was shoocked to see you flying in midair and your royal red robes were flapping against the wind.

Paul just smiled because of the nostalgia of this.

"That's my most memorable thing I ever see in my life, such amazing confidence and power God has given..." He looked into the sky....

"Well if you are just someone who admired me thank you.. One day I'll retake my spot again.." Paul thanked the old man from complimenting him even though he knew that his reign was not a perfect one and it definietley needs inprovement.

The Old man Laughed. "Ofcourse you will! You are the most powerful Being in here im the planet. But... you indeed died five years ago that left me pretty bad.I didn't went into human contact after your death, not even visiting the capital or going out for a bit. This peacefulness is one of the only one's left standing here. King Paul the world has changed since your reign more and more people with greed emerged from the shadows. Be the hero yet again...." He said

Paul noticed this too and was suprised on this . He was the type of man that does not want orders but this one is another level he is not just willingly to do it, He will do it.

"Well if Right now you ain't a King. You aint a noble or a knight, You are Ram the new kid from out of nowhere and you are the certified King of Disguise" The Old man stood up and patt the shoulder of Paul before leaving the balcony he stopped.

"Cultivate here Paul... meditate the peace here can never be found outside anymore. Five days until you go to your destination, in the mean time I'll train your friends to atleast Realm Human On probably Layer 3." And then went inside the house. Paul was left in the outside as he looked and day dreamed on the incoming things he will do in this life time.

Five Days Huh.....

Back Into the fight were they defeated the thieved that ganged up on the Party Members of Paul two hooded men wearing the same outfit as them arrived using horses and found out about the killings of their comrades.

"What the?!" One of them said as he spots the many dead body which were in the ground lifeless.

"Hey dude! It's.. It's Kien!! He is dead!" His friend which occampnied him screamed as he saw the bloodbath which Kien was on.

"What?!" The other questioned as he looks more on the corpse's of the dead people lying around.

"Oy Kien Wake up Kienl!!!" The man tried to wake him up by tapping his body and shaking his body.

The two hooded thiefs were stunned on how the squad of Kien were wiped out. And Kien which were considered one of the strongest in their pack died out of blood lost and just swimming his own pool of blood.

"Who have done this man?!" One question's the other.

"I don't know man! But Boss will be mad over this.." While his face grew worry as this news is severly bad.

"Tsk! Some carriage passed here! Look wood everywhere there is might somebody who killed Kien or overpowered him.." One auggested as he holds the wood scraps of the destroyed carriage.

"Impossible he was a strong being!" The Other man protested as he knew how stronf Kien is and never did saw anyone touching his streangths

"Look guys a dead body" he pointed into a bush.

"He's the driver and as I thought arrows through the head, Kien squad fought and got killed instead..."

"What we know is the guy who have beaten them or possibly group is strong..."

"Come let's inform Boss about this.."

As the 2 fled by the horses they have used to arived here.

5 days Later...

Hmm...

Paul is meditating of a log which has fallen. He focused and closed his eyws the sensation of relaxation could be felt in to the skin of Paul he tried gathering the Chi around the area. The cultivation process of Chi invloves alot of pain as you gathered Chi around or inside of you and imagine a big ball into your chest and forcing it to go smaller and smaller and if it's small enough it will combust, after the combustion the new Chi will be delievered in every parts of your body and you'll just do this over and over again. But the twist is if the combustion went out of control you'll have a big chance to be crippled for life.

Paul has been doing this process for the oast five days and a while ago he was able to breakthrough a realm. He opened his eyes.

*With this I can now do the first level of Pierce.. Yes! I'm Finally Realm Extraordinary!"

"hmm?"

Paul saw a rusty old sword stuck into a wood, he came down and examined the rusty old sword embeded deep into a tall tree.

He touched it...

*Wow! it has Chi in it! so it is possible the This sword is actually powerful!*

Paul wanted the sword into his hands so he gripped the handle and tried to pull it but instead he was unsuccesfull so. He tried again but this time more power but it didn't move a bulge.

"Challenging me Ey..." He said into the sword as his arms this time glowed Orange and tried to pull it this time with both hands.

"Come on! Pull out already!!" He screamed he seems to be struggling on pulling the unknown sword until Paul used all of his streagnth and immediately the sword moves and it broke of from the Three where he was stuck on.

the sword glowed yellow as the rust came of onced it glowed.

*Pierce!* Paul immediately tried to use on of his techniques and Pierce is his favorite move. The attack cut Two trees foward.

"So strong! now Until I get excalibur I'll use this, well time to go back..." As he holds in his sword left hand and walked back into the house. Leaving the destruction he created behind.

End.
