《Trinpik》Volume 3 Ch.2 Impostor
Advertisement
As we entered the gate there stood a carriage service that would offer rides to nobles. We paid 1 gold and asked them to take us to the place gate, professional service indeed since they did not ask any questions. It took us around 3 hours to maneuver through the city not as crowded as the outside but still faster then walking.
After 3 hours the carriage stopped 200 meters from the gate. “This is as close we are allowed to come near the palace.”
We got off and walked toward the palace. As soon as we were standing in front of the gates, we knocked. The elite guard that was guarding the gate began to speak.
Elite Guard: You are not allowed in. Please leave and don’t cause me trouble. By your clothes you don’t look more then commoners. So leave.
Salim: I must see the emperor.
Elite Guard: Whaaaat. Ha ha h ah a such a funny man. We have orders to arrest anyone requesting to see the Emperor or behead them on the spot.
Salim: For telling us this we see you’re a good man. However we are going in and no one will be able to stop us.
Elite Guard: Those are Titanium gates. If you can open them with your power I will not oppose you. However the entire area will swarm with every Elite Guard on duty that will most likely kill you on sight.
Salim: I have decided to spare you but anyone who opposes me will die.
As I said that I intended to strike the gate with my right fist with a light tap to see its sturdiness. As I though that and swung at it. The ring on my right middle finger transformed in to a metallic gauntlet that barely covered my skin. I didn’t really care and proceeded with the punch.
The elite guard was about to laugh at the sight of me trying to smash the door when my fist hit the gate.
KA POWWWWWWWWWW GRAushhh
The gate from the impact of my fist tore off the walls that it was secured to and flew 3 stories high and crashed in, in to the palace that was another 300 meters away from the wall.
The exact thing happened what the Elite Guard said, who was now standing near the gate with his jaw in awe. Over 200 Elite Guards ran out and circled us. An amazed scene struck every one of them. Since the event was so loud it gathered a huge crowed out side the gate and inside the gate.
The guards actually felt something like this:
No guard made a move though. Until a sound resounded make way for the Emperor.
As the Emperor made his way I saw that I did not recognize him.
Emperor of Fen: Who are you? Where do you hail from and why did you break my gate down?
Salim: I am who I am. I came to see you however they would not open the gates so I opened it forcefully.
Emperor of Fen: Well now I am here. What do you want?
Salim: Where is the Emperor that was at the summit around 6 months ago?
Emperor of Fen: I was the one that was there.
Salim: Impossible since I was there and you wouldn’t forget my warning.
Emperor of Fen: Who did you say you are again?
Salim: I have no need to explain my self to an imposter such as your self.
Emperor of Fen: You made a grave mistake young man. I don’t know who you are but you should know I control the tower and thus the Emperor of Fen.

I concentrated really hard on my surrounding as I close my eyes I could see hear and feel different presences.
New Skill Acquired!!! Mind's Eye's LVL.1 !!!Passive Skill- Can see through illusions.
- Can sense different presences in the area.
- Every level the distance you can feel the presence increases by 1 kilometer.
- Can size up powerful or weak opponents.
- Can detect magical forces active or inactive.

I opened my eyes to see the so-called Emperor was a person who now looked nothing like before.
Salim: So your name is “Sebastian.”
That person was startled.
Elite Guards: Did not make a move or else it would insult the so-called Emperor since they could not see through his illusion magic.
The Elite Guard who saw the entire thing being blow away by my fist. Ran towards the Emperor and kneed on one knee in front of the Emperor. Emperor a little startled didn’t back away and only said how dared you lowly guard approach me in this situation.
What followed was a huge fist coming from the Elite Guard that punched the Emperor in the stomach.
Elite Guard: DON’T MOVE ANYONE OR HE DIE’s.
Captain Elite Guard: HOW DARE YOU RAZE YOUR HANDS ON THE EMPEROR.
Salim: Like I said he is a fake emperor.
I then started to walk towards the palace.
Salim: If you want to know the truth, come with me.
Captain Elite Guard: Everyone stays here I will be the only one to go with him.
As we made our way to a secret tunnel that I sensed to lead to what I figure who was out of place in the furthest part of the dungeon. The Captain made his move.
Captain Elite Guard: I don’t know how you saw through Sebastian’s perfect disguise that only he and I knew about. You know die.
As he tried to do a sneak attack while muttering he had already unsheathe his sword and thrust it at me as I put my left palm to block him.
The sword broke from impact with my bare palm not leaving a scratch on it. I only used a light finger tap to his head and knocked him out. Even though the my light tap made a huge imprint on the metal helmet he was wearing.
I then dragged him by the leg down the huge staircase that led to the lone dungeon cell.
The person in the cell spoke up through the enclosed door.
Prisoner: I don’t know whom it is but you should leave before the guard takes your life, worse yet if the captain finds you.
Salim: Old man step away from the door and not in its path.
Prisoner moved away from the door as he said. Its made out of Titanium.
Prisoner: They have tried multiple times to break me out of here all were slaughtered, so please leave.
As I hit the door the door also broke off and flew and imbedded in the walls digging a 10-meter hole. I then used disintegrate to store up on atoms. I wanted that dramatic entrance since I was still testing my strength.
There sat a man shackled to the sidewall of the dungeon. It was completely dark so he barely saw what happened.
Prisoner: I am still shackled to the wall.
As he was saying that his shackles disintegrated.
2 sqm/20 sqm atoms stored.
Prisoner: Who are you?
Salim: I am happy you did not go against my warning that I said during the summit. Emperor of Fen!

Emperor of Fen: Is it really you Emperor Salim?
Salim: Call me just Salim.
As he could barely move due to the wounds on his body I sent pure oxygen molecules around his body instead of his mouth so that he doesn’t pass out from the magnitude of oxygen he would inhale. I even placed small time field around body except his mind and perception. The healing rate was exponentially fast. His wounds all healed in just mere seconds. I even used different molecules that made up what could be called food for the body directly injecting them in to the veins. So overall he healed completely within seconds.
The only thing he saw was that a light with warm feeling surrounded him. He stood there enjoying the feeling and when the he was healed he stepped outside the prison since it was not a bar prison but a completely closed of dungeon. He then saw a soldier lying there since he didn’t see his face he didn’t recognize him.
Emperor of Fen: Where are my manners, my name is Zeer. Please don’t address me by my title though; you are my savior after all. Poor soldier he was probably innocent and just following his superiors in guarding me.
Salim: Oh that guy he is the superior you are talking about.
As the emperor looked closer at the soldiers face that was sideway, he indeed recognize him as the Captain.
Salim: Close your eyes Zeer.
As he closed his eyes, I disintegrated the captain’s armor and clothes down to his underpants and a pair of clothes for the emperor. Fit for an emperor. The outfit I made was made out of titanium interwoven with comfortable fabric inside.
Salim: Zeer put that on. The people can’t see you in that clothing.
I than chained the captain with shackle’s to the ground where he lay and gave the key to the emperor.
Salim: Lets go greet your Elite Guards with your presence.
When we came out side. Everyone but a few he tried to attack seemed to be knocked out. All the people asked me whom the person was that was standing besides me. So I figured the illusion the fake emperor who has placed it on the entire town somehow was still active. As he woke up I asked that no one know him out. Even asked that the Elite Guard who knocked him out come stand by the person next to me. Frick’s did the same thing.
As the Fake Emperor got his bearings back he saw the four of us standing near each other.
Fake Emperor: I am the one that control this tower. So I hence command the tower to destroy those 4 people in front of us.
As four huge streams of red fire launched at us in a stream from the tower; the Fake Emperor started laughing he suddenly stopped to see a certain scene.
Frick’s with his palm extended towards the incoming fire started to draw all 4 streams that aimed at us to be collected in the front of his palm as it condensed and turned in to a bluish fire. He shot back at the top of the tower where the fire came from.
It seems the stone in the Tower could not control the bluish flame. As the bluish ball hit the tower to destroyed it to the point as if nothing was there in the first place.
Everyone stood in awe and everyone saw the true nature of things. The illusion broke. It seems the tower was a water and fire tower able to control mist and make illusions in the process.
The Elite Guards seeing the scenario that now the real Emperor stood with us. All froze and then came to their senses and tried to rush and arrest the Wizard.
The wizard activated his magic and struck the attacking guards with lightning bolts that nearly killed some of the weaker guards. Since there were so many he activated a force shield as he stood and laughed. Many guards were now striking his force shield that stood there unfazed.
Zeer: Wizard Ken you were once the most loyal and the most powerful Wizard within all the land. What happened to you to change sides and join the Azitium Empire?
Wizard Ken: I hated the tower that stood above the rest with nearly 30 meters higher.
As I heard that I started to laugh uncontrollably.
Salim: So your angry that there was a tower that was around 120 meters tall? Ha ha ha ha
Wizard Ken: It means a lot to this world. You would understand.
Salim: That’s not true.
I recalled the scenery that floated from the history in my head that the Zanil race built towers that extended in to space, over thousands of meter tall.
Salim: I have seen towers that reached in to the Space over thousands of meters tall and you tell me you are jealous of towers that are only around 30 meters taller?
Everyone’s jaws dropped, as they stood frozen.
Wizard Ken: Either way you will not arrest me because for the deeds I have done I will be executed. I will not let this force field down and I can also move around while it surrounds me. You might not know this, but this ring that activated this force field is indestructible by even all the forces combined in this world.
The soldiers continued to the attack on his force field that only made them bounce back and become tired after a while.
Salim: Zeer I allow you to do what ever you want with him. I just want to punch him really hard because the things I had to do because of him make me angry. So please call your soldiers back so that I may attack him. That way no one else would get hurt.
Zeer: STAND BACK MY SOLDIER AND LET EMPEROR SALIM TRHOUGH.
Wizard Ken: So you’re Emperor Salim. I have heard how strong you were although I still don’t think you can break this force field.
Salim: I will not use weapons just my bare left hand to attack you. So I hope you force field provides you with an adequate protection not to be destroyed.
Frick’s took several steps back, everyone seeing him do that took backed away even further.
The impact of bare left fist was so intense that the ground shook so violently that the tower that still stood with cracks all the way down to the ground completely collapsed. That was when the shield cracked and smashed to bits even though the ring was still intact the markings on the ring disappeared. As the fist went through the shield I took back most of my power and stopped an inch away from his face. The Wind force that accompanied that punch sent him flying 50 meters before smashing in to the wall of the palace.
Luckily he did not die. As I cam up to him I took of the ring and saw the power in it has completely left though the material used was a bit strange.
New Skill Acquired!!!Master Identification Skill LVL.1 !!!- Due to your immense memory bank you can Identify pretty much any element on this world.
- With higher Level in this Skill you will be able to identify more objects or subjects in this universe.
Wizard Ken: I don’t regret killing those scum peasants.
I touched the ring and enchanted it. With a few enchantment’s that came to mind. You will never be able to cause harm to anyone. You are only allowed to use your magic to help people. You will never be able to get rid of this ring not even by cutting your body part. Instead it will take place for another finger or limb as a band.
Salim: Zeer I am done with him. You may do what ever you want with him.
Zeer: Take him away and place him in the dungeon until I figure out what his punishment will be.
Salim: Soldier the one that guarded the gate when we came come here please and what is your name?
Elite Guard: That was I Emperor Salim and I am called Bert.
He kneeled about 2 meters away.
Salim: Emperor Zeer.
Zeer: Yes Emperor Salim.
Salim: I recommend Bert to be the captain of your personal guard.
Zeer: There is one already though.
Salim: If there is one then let that one retire or take another position. Bert here was the only one to judge the situation correctly when I identified the imposter as Sebastian he didn’t hesitate to judge what was the truth and what wasn’t.
**************
As all of this was happening in a nearby galaxy not visible to Salim or any of the people on their planet an event occurred.
A complete destruction of a planet.
**************
Zeer: I will accept anything that you recommend Emperor Salim. The rest of the Elite Guards that are present I hear give two orders. One is Bert from now is the highest military rank in this Empire. Two all of you scatter and bring back every army this Empire has sent out. It is time for us too clean the ranks.
Salim: Wise decision, I was about to ask you do that. So here are my two presents for you since I kind of destroyed two of your armies that attacked civilians and peasants.
Zeer: I trust your judgment in that and won’t hold anything against you.
Salim: Present one.
I approached Bert and placed my hand on his shoulder and focused on his armor. His armor began to shine with all types of colors. When it was settled his armor that has gone from a steel color to a pitch-black color with different patterns imbedded in it. Fire, Water, Earth, Electric, and Nature; were the affinities that I was able to bestow on his armor.
New Skill Acquired!!!Enchantment Skill LVL.1 !!!- Can bestow objects or subjects without relying on the stones.
- With higher level the enchantments get stronger. (like using a bigger or better stone.)
Salim: Present two.
As I concentrated the once collapsed tower that lay in ruin on the floor it began to rise up as rocks and different materials stacked up. It was a little wider and when it got to about 60 meters in the air. Nothing stopped its construction and so I continued building it higher. I even took apart the entire wall to make the tower reach 110 meters in to the air. It was taller and even had two smaller towers to the north and south of the tower. As soon as it was complete a window popped up.
Atom Control level increase to LVL. 3
Salim: Zeer I feel that in your vault there are a few ½ meters sized onyx stones. Can I use them?
Zeer: Sure.
As he said that through the walls came out 3 onyx stones as if they went through the wall. When I touched one it felt a bit weird so I disintegrated one to see what happens.
Learned the Onyx Stone Composition- You can now use Atom Control to make Onyx stones provided you have similar minerals and components.
- Can combine stones to make them bigger.
New Skill Acquired Blueprint Memorization LVL.1- Can create objects from memorized blueprints.
- Using Disintegration of high quality objects will allow you to understand the blueprints of certain objects.
- With more blueprints memorized and a higher level. You will be able to combine blueprints in order to make new objects.
As soon as I learned these two facts I disintegrated another ½ meters onyx stone with only one ½ meters onyx stone left I merged the components and kept the rest only to make an onyx stone a ¾ meters size onyx stone. I then bestowed the Water, Earth, and Wind in to the onyx stone. It again shone extremely brightly as it took its position in the top level of the tower.
I only put two commands in to it: Never harm civilians and Emperor has full access and authority over the stone, who can change any command other then these two.
Everyone was in awe. I then decided I did not want to stick around this place anymore now that the fun was over. I was eager to go see the Azitium Emperor but first a stop at Trinpik Tower.
Salim: Zeer I must go now. There are things I need to catch up on and do. So I will leave now.
Zeer: You can’t just leave like that we have to make a ceremony.
Salim: You need to do repairs and Bert you need to continue training. Also you have to weed out the traitors in your army. I promised that if Azitium Emperor ever harms civilians ever again he would have to answer dearly. Goodbye I really want to go now. Perhaps after the World unites would we have a tea between u, until then goodbye!
I wanted to try something new so I materialized the couch again and asked Frick’s to sit on the couch with me. As soon as we sat there the couch took of at a lightning speed. The time we were around 140 meters in the air we spotted a tiny tower in the distance. So we headed that way. We headed now west and slightly south. Apparently I got a hang of controlling my affinities a little.
New Skill Acquired Affinity Control LVL.1- You can use affinities that you know as if they were part of your body.
- Distance is based on the level in the Skill. Every level, distance is increases by 1 kilometer; however can be multiplied by the Spiritual Force.
- You don't have to concentrate to do something using affinities any longer. Just by wanting something will activate the necessary affinities to provide the results as long as you have those affinities that need to be utilized.
We were traveling at an incredible speed. Even though the scenery didn’t change much since we were so high up. So we got to enjoy the flight as I made the semi-real strawberries that I even started to notice the difference vs. the real ones.
The Trinpik Design of the tower could be made out by now; thus I identified it easily, since I was the one who built it.
Frick’s: I wonder what awaits us. Here!
As we were approaching it and only about 600 kilometers away from Trinpik Tower when we noticed that many perfectly round metal balls flew at us from a higher place in the sky. They rained down like nothing I have seen before. All aimed at us. They had a familiar feel to them though. So I changed our heading to see what was shooting those balls at us from above a huge cloud. Even though the rocks were certainly precise and only aimed at me I just simply disintegrated them as I collected many atoms from them.
8/20 sqm Atoms filled.
I really had a weird familiar feeling that was making me very angry now.
