The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System?

Chapter 119 - Formation Activated!



After exiting the Trial Tower, Sheila took a few minutes of rest before getting up and to look for Ria and Sylvia for help regarding what she was about to do now. She didn't need to spread her awareness as she could already feel their presence in the house, without wasting any further, Sheila stepped out of her room, heading downstairs toward the living room. Stepping into the living room, Sheila could see Ria seated on the sofa comfortably while watching the TV while Sylvia was playing on her phone next to Ria(Sara bought it for her). Even before she greets them, they have already noticed her presence the moment she walks in.

"It seemed that you have finished with whatever business you had before."

Sheila nodded her head in response to Ria's remark. Sylvia's expression appeared to brighten up when she saw her walking towards the two before having a seat next to her. But before she could open her mouth, Ria interrupted her with a question of her own which caused Sylvia to pout at the side.

"Do you need anything?"

Sheila couldn't help but heaved a sigh with a wry smile on her face when she heard the question as if Ria had known what she was going to ask. Sheila tilted her head to the side before thought to herself, Am I that easy to read or something? How can she know what I was going to say before I even do anything just yet? That's cheating, isn't it? 

"Well, I do need both of your help with something, but I don't mind if you two don't want to do it as it will be quite the labor. So, it will require a bit of your stamina if you wanted to help me with this."

Ria raised her brows while tilting her head to the side and as she was about to ask what sort of labor did Sheila meant, Sylvia interrupted her before she could do that.

"Yes! I'll help!"

Ria shook her head when Sylvia agreed without any hesitation even before Sheila informed them of what kind of work does she need the help for. 

"I will also give a hand but before that, what kind of help do you need?"

"Ah, it's nothing much, I just need you two to move from place to place and bury something for me."

"Bury 'something'? What is it?"

"Don't worry about it, you will know it shortly after we were done with this."

Ria could only nod her head in response before the two were told each location that they have to go while holding onto two one-liter bottles with runes on the cap filled with red juice for each of them to buried once they reached their location. After the two exited the house, Sheila pulled out a black disk of a sort with runes on it from her inventory. This was one of the rewards, the Four-Directional Defensive Formation that she received from completing the quest. As the name suggested, it's a formation that will act based on the defensive in a four-direction, which was North, South, West, and East. Each direction will represent one mythical beast that will use its power to defend their perspective region under her command. 

Yes, the one-liter bottle was actually filled with the blood of a mythical creature that she bought from the system's shop, it was pricy but worth the price. At first, she had thought to use this formation only around the perimeter of her house but, after knowing its true capabilities, Sheila decides to make the entire city into the domain of the formation. Once the formation is completed, no one could compete with her when they were inside the domain and would only be defeated by her without being able to resist, that was just how powerful the formation is. This was her way of preparing for when the world will undergo a change in the future. Just protecting her home won't do as when the civilization was destroyed, she won't be able to play games anymore, which is not very good in her opinion.

If her city was safe from the harm in the future, people will definitely flood in and some technology and electricity might also be fine even if the world had turned somehow apocalypse, though things might go different as this was just her wild assumption for the worse. Either way, this was just her first step in the preparation for the future, whatever comes will come, all Sheila needs to do was to make sure she was prepared enough for everything that might happen. 

The sudden ringtone of her phone brought her back to reality as she immediately answered the call. Before she knew it, it has been fifteen minutes, the two should have arrived at their location by now.

"I'm here, where do you want me to bury this?"

Ria asked while holding onto a one-liter bottle of the blood of mythical creature in her hands. Behind her was a small city with around a thousand in population, pretty low in comparison to the city she lives in but nevertheless, she had once visit the city before and remembered a couple of good scenery over there. She didn't care about whatever happened to the people, but one thing she wish to treasure is nature. 

"Just find a place where not many people would visit and buried it there, make sure it was very hidden, though it won't matter once the formation active anyway."

"Alright, I will do as you say."

With that said, Ria hangs up the call before looking around at her surroundings while she was walking without any direction in mind. It didn't take her long before she finds an area that no one seemed to take a walk around with a goal in mind, but before she could bury the bottle into the earth, she remembers that she had no shovel in hands which caused her to frown. Do I have to use my hand to dig? Sigh, I guess it also my fault for forgetting to get the tools before leaving the house. With that thought in mind, Ria slowly digs a hole on the ground. It took her five minutes to complete it and she was surprised as the moment she covered the hole with dirt, she could feel tremor around her for short while.

An hour later, Sheila looked at the formation on the table with a smile on her face when all the runes within it have lightened up, she only needs to put a drop of her blood on the center before it would be active and ready to use. Without waiting further, Sheila bit around the tip of her finger before stamping it onto the center as the runes around the formation slowly getting brighter and brighter until she had to closed her eyes at the brightness. When Sheila regained her sight, she could see a single ring with runes at the table where the formation was supposed to be, and without any question, she equipped the ring onto her mid finger with a smile on her face.

"Finally, the formation is activated. With a mythical creature on each side, which means four in total. Whoever picks a fight with me in this whole district will suffer unimaginable consequences! This is now my domain!"
