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

Chapter 121 - Interruption



After advising the two to put a distance, Sheila also followed right behind them before giving a command to the White Tiger for it to show a bit of its strength without damaging the nature around it. But that might have been a bad choice as with a roar, White Tiger flew straight to the sky with the help of wind surrounding it, and once it stopped at a certain height, it took a deep breath before releasing a powerful roar right in the sky that caused the sky to darken before slowly, a huge storm started brewing around it. If such power was summoned while it was on the ground, many trees would have been uprooted as the damage to nature would be that of a catastrophe.

"How is it? That was still the White Tiger not going all out, I\'m sure you know what will happen if something more destructive such as that appeared without any notice."

Sheila said with an awkward laugh, though she looked normal outer appearance wise, internally she was sweating bucket. Excuse me, I told you to use a bit of your power, okay?! Only a bit and no more than that! Or are you saying that... Sheila shook her head to clear away such scary thoughts before looking toward the two who were still staring at the now clear sky with their mouth wide open, the White Tiger had already dismissed the storm and flew down next to Sheila\'s side before bumping its head on her as if asking for praise. With a wry smile on her face, Sheila gives it a pat on the head as that was enough to make the White Tiger(Baihu) happy as it purrs like a cat, even though it was a tiger, not a cat.

After spoiling Baihu for the past five minutes before it dispersed like a breeze as Sheila undue the summoning, it didn\'t disappear completely and simply went back to the West to protect the region until it will be summoned once again somewhere in the future. Only then did the two finally came to their senses before assaulting Sheila with all kinds of questions, well, most of it was actually from Ria as she was a lot more shaken that the silver-white haired girl. The latter only asked a few questions before standing quietly to the side as Sheila trying to calm down Ria as she answered the question gently.

"Alright...I\'m fine now. But can you answer my last question? Why didn\'t you use the formation to kill the Earth Dragon for your quest? It should be a breeze with such power, right?"

Sheila nodded her head in agreement at Ria\'s remark before saying.

"Indeed, that is the case. But I simply can\'t as there is a limitation to the formation for its usage, I can\'t simply summon them all before spamming non-stop their most powerful skills at once to Earth Dragon like it was nothing. At least, I can make such a move only three times before the formation will break beyond repair. I would rather save it for now as a trump card and if I level up high enough, I\'m sure I can handle that dragon easily by then. Plus, this is not everything to it."

Ria gives an understanding nod before tilting her head to the side.

"Then what about just now?"

"Ah, if it was that much, so long as I didn\'t overuse their skill to exhaustion, then that would be fine. Some of their skills also cost mana just like us, though the Four-Directional Defensive formation had a small formation within that attract mana in the air into it, it was very slow to regenerate since the mana in the air is very thin. If they overused their mana to the point of exhaustion, the formation will either deactivate by itself due to not enough mana to maintain as the four mythical beasts fall into a \'deep sleep\', or the formation will break down to pieces."

"So that\'s the only way to use it, huh. Because of the amazing performance that the White Tiger had shown, I had thought the formation to be more overpowered than this but, I overestimated it too much I guess."

Sheila just shrugged her shoulders in response as even she finds it unbelievable for a moment there and also, she had thought the same as Ria at that point but the knowledge of the formation had clearly \'told\' her that such a thing is not possible unless she paid with her own mana but, that also won\'t last long as her mana is not unlimited or anything of the likes. Basically, it was impossible for the current her. Why she thought as such? That is because the mana in the surrounding air has started to progress much more than ever and also if she had enough gold, Sheila could just buy another formation that is more powerful and versatile than the current one.

"Then can you summoned the other three mythical beasts? I just want to see how they look like in reality than the one describing from human imagination."

"Mhm, that\'s fine. Then-"

But before Sheila could summon another one, her face suddenly turned serious as she could many presences on their way toward here, without a doubt they must have been attracted by the sudden storm caused by Baihu. Based on their speed, they aren\'t normal for sure. Without wasting any more time, Sheila grabbed the two girls next to her by their arms before moving downward in a different direction while firing a few fireballs at random, all in order to direct them away so that she could escape successfully. 

If she was alone, it won\'t be a problem to get away from such groups of people but she had two girls with her at the moment. This is not the time yet to use the formation, nor the time to make herself known. The two had wanted to question her when Sheila had grabbed their arms at first but when they saw her serious expression, they keep their mouth shut while sprinting as fast as they could, away from the scene. Thanks to Sheila\'s detection skill and her quick reaction, they managed to retreat safely without having a pursuit chasing after them. While the three girls were walking on their way home, Ria silently let out a disappointed sigh as she was unable to see the other three mythical beasts due to interruption from god-know-who. But well, maybe next time.
