Chapter 56

Title: A Hermit!

….

[15 days later]

Right now, Raki and Wyper are at the training ground made during Amon's stay in the blue sea. 

*Cutting!*

The two got into a fight with some people around watching the match. 

"Dead! Die up! Die up! Die up! Die!"

With an angry and annoyed face, Raki swung his sword towards Wyper, who was just standing there laughing.

"Haha! I am invincible! Ahaha!" None of the attacks hit him, so he just stood up with the Spear in his hand. Although as he laughed, he recalled the deep wounds from Amon's attack last time. "But... I guess I will fight fair and avoid the attack. Amon says there's a lot of people who can use that thing called 'Haki." 

Wyper muttered softly and dodged Raki's attack, while soon after, he attacked Raki using his spear.

*About!*

"Well! You finally played fair?!" However, his spear was stopped by Raki's sword. Swords are more specific. 

“Shut up, I'm a fair man! A true warrior!!”

*About!*

*About!*

They began exchanging blows with Wyper using his fire to heat his spear, although not as one would expect, the sword that came into contact with the heated spear was not cut! Instead, they were equivalent to the Wyper technique.

A few minutes passed, exhausted, Wyper jumped back a few steps. "What the fuck! Why are you so good at using two swords? Didn't you use two swords for only a few months?" He shouted with a frown, he was annoyed with the constant block from her.

"STFU! Of course, I am preparing myself for these two swords!" Raki said with a proud face, while raising his hand holding a sword. "Last month, Brother said he had two good babies for me. So I'm prepared to use both at once..." After a brief silence from both sides, Raki laughed crazily. "Mahaha! Ignore that, now Wyper's dead!"

Saying this, he dashed forward as Wyper was forced to use his fire power. 

The two swords in his hand were Yubashiri, one of the 50 Skilled Class swords! And Sandai Kitetsu, one of the class swords! This is the sword that Zoro got in Loguetown, albeit in a canon timeline. This time, it was Amon who picked them up after performing the same drama show as Zoro to receive the 'NPC' reward'.

*About!*

Their fight escalated, while the audience was rendered speechless. Although it was clear Wyper would win because of his intangible body, but the fight was good.

….

Among the audience, one of Gan Fall's sons, Reo, also watched the fight with a slightly surprised face.' He thought looking ahead.

'And here I am. very weak.' Thinking of this with a feeling of inferiority in his heart, he looked down. Although he was not looked down upon even though he was the most worthless child of God, he always thought optimistically. However, looking at a person much younger than him was like this...

"Sigh..." Reo took a long breath. 'I can't believe, maybe I should train a sword and a spear if I want to chase... Or maybe not. They are naturally strong... But, at least I should train what I can–'

"Hey, Commander Reo!"

His mind was cut off by the shouts of random militias. Reo, as one of the powerful individuals from the Skypiean side, was given the task of commanding the 16th group and had 13 militias under him. 

"Hm? What's up?" Reo ignored those thoughts for now and looked at the soldier.

"Um, isn't today the day we're going to visit Birka? But I don't think Kami-sama is here..." Said the soldier with a nervous expression.

A large wrinkle appeared on Reo's face. "Idiot! Are you even doing your job right? Don't you know God went to Birka a week ago?" Reo stated as some people glanced over while the soldier just nodded. 

"I'm-I'm sorry I spent time with my wife. We just got married, you know..."

Reo just sighed. "Also, only the commander would go there along with the personal bodyguards. You don't have to be hyperactive."

«…*…»

[Same time| Birka]]

Outside the Great Temple of 'God' Birka, many people sat in a circle on both sides of the street. They were waiting to receive the 'temple food' that should have been blessed by thunder. 

Instead of the poor Birkan, it was just a tradition for them to take the Temple food every day. Yes, this is said to be the time and the priests are the ones who hand over food to everyone. 

Among them, 3 High Priests Urouge, Enel, and a random woman were sitting on the high steps of the temple. Around them, Arch-priestess, Yona was also there. 

He closed his eyes and sat in the lotus position. He looked like he was sleeping, even though he had indeed woken up and his spell opened.

….

As time went on and almost everyone accepted their food, Yona opened her eyes and started looking down, seemingly looking for someone. 

Enel noticed this from the side, as she took her eyes off her face which she had been staring at for a long time. "Great Priestess, you seem to be looking for someone?" He asked calmly and the other high priests also looked at him. "Is that kid again?"

"Mmm, I'm looking for him. The beggar who came here a week ago. He's late to get food again." Yona replied in a soft voice.

"Say, he's suspicious. We need to get him to leave the island..." Another woman interfered and said suspiciously filling her voice.

"No, pastor Tsumi. We're not doing it here." Yona said and stood up. "I think I saw him, I'll come back after feeding him."

Yona said and ignored the other priests, heading towards a large tree far away from here with a bowl of rice in her hand.

….

|–Yona Pov–|

With the rice bowl in my hand, I slowly walked towards the tree hundreds of meters away. I don't know why I couldn't feel it before, even she didn't exist... Is it because I've been fasting for a month? 

Anyway, I'll just ask him myself then.

Thinking of this, I slowly started walking towards the shiny yet tattered black-robed man. 

…

Not long after, I grabbed him and looked at him. He fell asleep, showing his sleepiness. I don't know his identity, though I do know he's a Skypiean from the silhouette of the wings behind his cloak.

“Halo, distant visitors. I'm here again with your food.” I said lightly, as he looked up. Her ripped lips made me feel a little pity. 

“Oh, the Red Dragon Princess.” The man, or rather, the boy smiled at me. I can't see his face except his lips. “Thank you for the food.. Oh, I also understand your technique taught me."

He called me 'Red Dragon Princess' for whatever reason, even though such a trivial matter was not important to me. But what does he mean? I don't remember teaching him anything.

"Anyway," I sighed. "Visitor, stop me if I'm disrespectful for trying to pry your privacy, but are you going somewhere? Just a moment ago, I couldn't feel your presence at all, and then suddenly my Spell saw you here." I put on an apologetic face. "If you don't mind, can you tell me where you're going?"

As I said this, I could see her smile broad. "I never really left this place."

A wrinkle appeared on my face.

….

–Pov General–

An unintentional wrinkle appeared on Yona's face. 

He just sighed. "I can't feel you... My spell is the strongest in Birka." His voice was rather cold, a very unusual thing happened. After all, if he were to hide where he went, he might have trespassed and even went around 'God'. Although he would not be able to take out the 'God' from the locker he placed without the key, his sword, it was still an act to be punished.

“Please answer my question straight..” he said, while the man just waved his hand innocently.

"No, no. I'm really here. It's because of your own words why you can't feel me ..." The cloaked man said as Yona tried to really remember what she said.

….

A few days ago, he asked why he could barely notice his presence, and the answer was simple. "I was born like this."

When asked to explain, he did so without hesitation because he had already done this many times before.

“Living beings are like candle flames with the power of their will, while the environment around them is darkness that envelops the candle. As long as one had the will, one would definitely be felt by Spell users. Although there's a way to stop it, it's by turning off your willpower."

“When I was born, I didn't really feel any desire for anything. I do what others ask, that is the reason why people with Charms who have the strength of determination cannot see me. Although now I have a desire, a desire to protect God, I have come to a place where the presence of hiding has become commonplace to me."

He had the potential to become a powerful assassin, unfortunately, he was just a priest on the island of Heaven. 

…..

"I took your words in my heart, I've been practicing 'The Hermit' for a long time. So, I've been trying something really hard for the past week." The man said. "And look, today I can do it as you do, even though I can only hold it for a few more minutes." The cloaked man said with a smile, he looked happy.

Yona was not too sure as no one could do it like this even after her explanation, let alone achieve it in just a week…

"Can you ... do it now?" ask Yona suspiciously. "I need evidences—"

His words were cut in the middle of the road by a shout. "Oh, Great Priest! My people are here!"

It was a voice recognized by Yona and the cloaked man. It was Duy's voice, hearing Yona staring at him all of a sudden.

"Oh? Did ya? Is your God here?" His joy was seen, which he also soon realized and coughed lightly. "Ehem, sorry about that."

He examined the people standing behind Duy, Wyper, Raki, and many others. There were 25 God Militias and 5 Personal Guardians. He recognized Wyper and Raki from before.

But the person she likes the most is not here. "Err—Your Lord is not coming?"

Hearing him, Duy scratched his head in embarrassment. "Well, he should have been here. But I can't reach him."

Instantly, worried, Yona opened her mouth to say something, although she could not because someone else did it from behind her.

"Immediately maybe the glove man came~..." From behind him, the sound of cherries resounded. "Oh, wait no. The gloves are here. Haha."

Yona instantly looked back as her eyes grew big. The robed man slowly took off his robe revealing his black hair and red eyes. But the thing that caught the attention of everyone around the place was what came from under the cloak. 

Wings, beautiful big wings. Yona didn't take a second to clear her mind.

"I-It's real!"

Yona shouted in disbelief at the sight before her.

Amon just hummed while looking at him.

A/N: The ability to blend with the environment is OP. Although if we specifically talk about avoiding sensory OH it is not uncommon. Gan Fall did it against a priest in Anime.
