《The World seems Realistic but Why do I have a Leveling System? 》Chapter 205: Tricked by an Illusion
Advertisement
Before Ivan could open his mouth and beg for mercy, Sheila suddenly appeared right behind him in the blink of an eye before patting him in the back as his view immediately overturned. He was in the classroom a moment ago, but now, he finds himself surrounded with endless grassland.
"This is!"
Most important of all, he could detected a huge amount of Mana in his surrounding, both from sky and the ground. It was as if he had just stepped into heaven. However, the moment he put strength in his hand to move, he realized he couldn't do it. Other than his head, every part of his body is immobilized by an invisible power. It was then that he finally came to his sense and understood his situation.
"What's happening to me? Why can't I move?!"
"Why? Of course it's because I don't want to you to run. If we were still in the classroom, you could take the other students as hostage. If that happened, I would have to sacrifice them to catch you after all." Sheila responded from behind him.
Since his body is immobilized, Ivan couldn't turn his head without hurting his neck to look at her.
"Now then, what kind of death do you prefer? I'll give you three choices for you to chose."
"One, die from a sword." As if trying to tease him, Ivan could feel a breeze blows gently toward him.
"Two, die from fire." The moment she finished, a wall of fire suddenly materialize and surrounded him for a few seconds before disappearing at the snap of her finger. Though it was just a short amount of time, Ivan could feel sweat dripping from his forehead due to the sudden heat.
"And lastly, became a food for my pet." With a frightened look on his face, Ivan watched as a small group of giant ants at the size of an adult dog, suddenly came out of the soils.
Where in the hell did she hide such frightening monsters from the public's views?! Does she have more, a colony of them? Just the thoughts alone brought him chills, what if it's true and she could control them all? She's too dangerous!
"None of them! Let's fight this out if you're that brave and powerful!"
"Hahaha, so you're saying I'm a coward? That's funny, I'll give you that. However..."
"You think you have a chance of winning against me, don't you?" With a thought, Sheila suddenly appeared a meter away from Ivan as she whispered next to his ears.
"I effing am!" Ivan shouted boldly to her threatening words. Sheila couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing his response.

"Interesting, very interesting. Alright, I'll give you another chance. Show me that you can survive this predicament!"
Answering to her words, Ivan's whole body was then freed from the system's binding as the latter immediately jumped back, creating a distance between them so that he could prepare to use his trump card.
But before that, Ivan was expecting Sheila to launch an attack, however, all he got from her is just a smile as she stood there doing nothing in particular. Even the group of giant ants that he thought was frightening, they all went back into the soils. Her action is a clear sign that she's giving him the chance to unleash his power without any interruption from her.
'This girl...she's looking down on me?' thought he was angered by her action, a sneer appeared on his face.
"Hahaha! You're done for!" Ivan couldn't help but let loose a maniac laugh out of his mouth the moment he's finished with preparation. As expected of a unique skill, his energy have been depleted completely just to fire it for once.
'However, this is more than enough to finish her off,' thought Ivan as he immediately fire the skill toward Sheila with but a single word.
[Freezia!]
With a wave of his hand, the whole land around Sheila slowly freeze and turned into a huge piece of ice sculptor. Seeing the frozen figure inside the ice sculptor, Ivan relieved a sigh before laughing maniacally as he said.
"Hahaha! Even if you can comeback to life once again, your body would still be frozen! It means you have no way to escape! With this unique skill of mine, once you have been turned into an ice sculptor, you have no choice but to accept your death. You should have dodge it, you ignorant girl!"
But he underestimated her too much. The thing is, the 'figure' inside the ice sculptor isn't actual her. It was actually a piece of wood that she accidentally chopped off during the level grinding.
Though it isn't as powerful as it did outside the Trial Tower, Sheila could use the illusion power within the golden ring(the key formation) to trick Ivan while he was focusing on the spell.
The moment he starts gathering Mana toward himself like a sore thumb, she had already long retreated before the shot was fired. It was at a time like this that her sixth sense works like a charm. It had warned her and she believe it without putting the revive system to test.
At any rate, though she could be revive as many as three times inside the Trial Tower, it is nowhere near being overpowered like the Phoenix's immortality from the formation as, so long she had enough MP to maintain it, repeatable revival is not just a mere dream.

Maybe it was just her imagination but, she could hear people from another world yelling at the God to nerf her. However, to their dismayed, the God were too busy procrastinating, so their prayers was ignored completely.
Nonethelss, that didn't mean she would charge blindly to her enemies with no fear of death since that is simply reckless and idiotic. What if both the formation and the Trial Tower revival system suddenly doesn't work amidst the kill or be killed situation? What then?
She had died two times after all, one from Rodrick's stab, the second from getting beheaded by Ivan. Both incidents happened way before she could react to it. From that experience, she didn't want it happen to her again. Dying is not something that one should get used to. If possible, she doesn't want to depend on it.
Honestly though, she really wants to know how the whole revival system works but, immediately give up since the matter is simply too complicated for her. It was like trying to learn and understand how the universe works at the same time, that's how crazy it is.
Looking at the frozen land ahead of her, Sheila couldn't help but thought it would be great if she could learn it.
Technically, she could learn any basic skill with just her imagination alone. It was just like the first time she conjured a fireball in the goblin's cave even though she didn't have fire magic in her skill list but, it is impossible for the current her if it's more of a complex type of skill. Even Photographic Memory couldn't help in this case as it required her actual wisdom, something that she didn't want to admit that she...lack some of it.
This is one of the reasons why she prefers buying skill book from the system's shop. And then, all she needs to do is leveling it up from basic until it reach high/max level. When that time comes, heh, she can simply conjure those complex spell with just a thought.
While she was getting sidetracked and dreaming the scene of mushroom clouds appearing all over the place at the snap of her finger, Ivan were currently looking a way out.
Rather than thinking the place he's in is actually another dimension, Ivan is more inclined to believe that he was teleported to somewhere else on Earth. Along with that mindset, he put all his strength on his feet before looking upward and jumped.
Ivan thought he would easily find a village or two once he's up in the air for a moment, but to his shock, no matter how far in the distance his eyes travels, there's only grassland. The sight he saw didn't just brought him a shock, he also begins to feel sick in the stomach. It just feels darn abnormal! Enough said.
"It can't be...is this really somewhere on Earth? However, maybe, just maybe I was inside an illusion and were affected by it? Yeah, that must be it!" Immediately after, Ivan starts to focus more to his surrounding, thinking that there must be something, a way to get out of the illusion.
To the left, right, and below him, it was all grassland as far as his sight goes. The sun above his head stood still as if time itself lost it's meaning here, it neither goes up or down even though he could feel the time passing. It was strange that he could feel heat from the sunlight despite how artificial it felt to him.
'This illusion is too powerful! Everywhere I looked, I didn't find anything worth even close to being a clue. I tried jumping as high as I could too, thinking I would be stop by something but nothing happened. Even after regaining my strength and firing fireballs at the place I thought suspicious, all I did was just making the whole area more undesirable to live than before.'
When Sheila came to her sense, she couldn't help but titled her head to the side in confusion, as she finds Ivan lying on the grass with a weary look on his face. At a few meters away from his position, she could see a devasted land caused from fireballs. She can easily tell because she had once did the same for absolutely no logical reason.
But what she couldn't understand was why would this guy do the same nonsensical thing as her? He didn't look like someone who had lost his mind either.
'Wait, maybe he was trying to figure out a way to exit this place?' when that thought crossed her mind, Sheila immediately called out the system interface with a wave of her hand.
'Click here, scroll down for a bit, and there you go. Now I need to insert the time I wanted to rewind for the video, a couple of minutes should do, and click!' And there she watch Ivan with intrigued look on her face. When she finished, Sheila immediately covered her mouth with her hand, trying to hold her laughter back as best as she could or she might exposed herself.
She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. While she was daydreaming, this guy over here was having 'fun' on his own.
