YM778.TV Chapter 103 - Lucky Charm
When Sheila and Ria were about to part ways with Yuna and walk through a different road, Sheila stopped in front of the latter before pulling out a beautiful silver necklace from her small pocket and giving it to the hands of the stunned Yuna while saying, \'this is just a good luck charm that will protect you, so I\'ll like it if you wear it at all time.\'
Yuna wants to reject it seeing how expensive it looks, but when she comes to her sense, she was already wearing it around her neck and was heading back home. Since it was a gift from her senior and someone who she knows as a magician, the necklace must be the real thing of what it was claimed to be.
I guess it\'s not just my imagination that the moment I wore the necklace, I feel like something deep within me has just snapped open. I don\'t know what exactly had happened but there\'s no way that senior would do anything bad to me so I\'ll just ask her later next time I see her.
To be honest, Sheila prefers the method like what she had done to Sylvia but that would eat up too much time as, at the moment, her parents must have been worried about her so Yuna didn\'t have the time for that. Once Yuna makes her parents known about her wellbeing, by then would Sheila introduces her to the whole new world.
Though Ria knows the reason why Sheila had given the necklace to Yuna for one simple reason, she still asked the latter about it anyway when they were in their room after having a wonderful dinner.
"Well, what I previously said to Yuna was not wrong as the moment she\'s in great danger, the necklace could sense it and immediately deploy a small barrier around her. This will protect her from the harm that will befall her somewhere in the future."
"What do you mean by \'harm will befall her\'?"
"Though I have broken their arms and legs while also giving some a trauma that they would remember for the rest of their lives, I\'m sure that some of them would want to get another revenge and, they definitely won\'t let Yuna go just like what had happened today."
"Hmm, that\'s true."
"I had no choice but this, I don\'t want to use the gold that I saved up since there\'s something that I need to buy from the shop. Plus, if the barrier is deployed, the necklace would then sent a signal to me and I could immediately rush there. The barrier should be enough to held on until I arrive on the scene."
Ria nodded her head in agreement and thought she could not be compared to Sheila in all aspect of stats, she was still able to defeat a group of thugs easily even with only her fist.
Sheila could easily avoid the bullet with either submerged within the shadow and sneak attack them, or simply steal the guns from them before they could fire it as she did back then. It was a feat that Ria could not do with her current stats.
When the unknown presence suddenly intrude before her spell hit the old building, Sheila was quite surprised as rather than saying she didn\'t notice the presence, it was more like it literally \'appeared\' next to Rodrick before the two escaped from getting crushed to death by the concrete.
Though that presence is not as scary as the Earth Dragon, it still comparable to the Ogre, whoever it is must have been a little stronger than the current her. Is it really the \'old monster\' that was said in many stories I have read? After all, they did escape by teleporting away from the scene. Why does the stronger I have become, the more trouble coming to my doorstep? Seriously, give me a break.
Sheila shook her head before deciding to head into the Trial Tower to level up instead of getting headaches for thinking all this problem.
"I\'m going, I\'ll see again in a few minutes later then."
"Alright, battle junkie. I\'d also be going there but for now, I will take a rest first. Don\'t let your guard down in there, okay?"
"B-Battle junkie? Are you talking about me? I don\'t really like battling that much, you know? If possible, I would rather play games all-"
"Yes yes, I know. I was simply joking, go ahead."
Sheila pouted at Ria\'s words, though she wanted to retort, that would only be a waste of time. After taking a couple of breaths to calm her beating heart, Sheila closed her eyes and in a flash, her figure disappeared from the real world before her body materialize again in the Trial Tower. It\'s time to grind some EXP and maybe visit Sylvia after that?

Meanwhile in a High Rise Apartment, Fifth Floor, Room 13.
Within an empty room devoid of any presence and noise, suddenly two figures magically appeared in the living room. Though Rodrick had just been saved by the figure next to him, he was still unconscious on the floor, if he was left alone back in the old building, he won\'t even know that he was already in hell after dying of getting crushed under debris. The figure looked down in contempt at how pathetic Rodrick is, it even considered of just killing him off right here as if Rodrick had listened to its warning, he would have not gotten caught in this whole mess.
"Though he would be glad of sacrificing himself to God, the man still has its use. I should use this chance to experiment on him, but the man would refuse outright if there\'s no benefit for him other than the extreme pain he will suffer. Hmm, maybe he would agree if I told him I could give him the \'power\' he needs for his revenge? Hahaha, Indeed, that would work! Things have started to get interesting, isn\'t it? I look forward to the future, Ahahaha!"
