Chapter 129 - Pain Resistance Potion (1/2)
At first, Sheila had thought of wanting to tease Ria but, as if the latter understood her 'wicked' intention, Ria was glaring right through her in that single instant which caused her to drop whatever mischievous thought that she was planning to do.
”So that's what happened...”
Ria softly muttered after Sheila briefly of everything that happened. Even after being told of that, it seemed that she was still unable to remember it. Is it really that bad, to the point that my brain sealed the memory deep within me from that one traumatize experience? There's no way right? I don't think I'm that weak of a person, or is it simply because I was overpowered by that monster alone? Based on what Sheila stated that she would not be an opponent to it if not for the title buff, it must have been true. I still can't believe that the monster could actually appear in the real world as there doesn't seem to be any chaos happening in the news.
”Oh, you were saying Angelica was there on the scene and that she was going to give a visit later, talking about the whole portal-like thing?”
”Ah, yes. I don't know how much is she going to tell me but at least, it's much better than not knowing anything at all. It was also only a single and limited favor from me, I don't think it was that bad of an offer.”
Sheila answered with a nod as an agreement with what she had just said.
”Are you even sure that she knew something about it? What if you were just being trick by her? What then?”
”Mhm, you're not wrong to be worried about that but, I don't think she had any reason to trick me when I had just shown her how powerful I am. At least for me, I don't want to create any problem from someone who's clearly superior to me all for a short-term profit when we can befriend for a more, better long-term profit. I think that's what that girl was planning to do anyway, I mean, I did tell her I was a mage.”
With that being said, trickery and all would become useless in the face of absolute strength. Although her strength is not on the level of 'absolute', she still has the formation in hands and if someone more powerful than herself appeared to make trouble, the formation should be enough to take care of such person. if that is not enough, Sheila still had the system with her as with enough gold, she could buy almost anything that could help her in any kind of situation if needed to be.
While Sheila was pondering over such a thing, suddenly, Ria lowly groaned painfully with her hand over her head.
”Kuh! My head!”
”Ria?!”
