Chapter 102 - Unknown

After the three girls departed from the old building, Sheila came back five minutes later with the intent of burying all of them under the fall of the old building. Though Sheila went easy on them a moment ago by only breaking their limbs, she still didn't want to let them go with just that as she could see them coming back for revenge in the near future. By killing off the root, she would be able to breathe a peaceful fresh of air and focus on leveling up, After all, Sheila wouldn't have to worry about getting into machination of others if she had absolute strength that would strike fear to the core. 

That's why Sheila didn't mind killing off a fellow human even though it makes her feels uncomfortable, she would eventually get used to it. How is she going to protect her loves one if she can't handle this type of thing as in the future, the world wouldn't be as nice as today. If she's going to meet all sorts of monstrosity like that of Earth Dragon, she also needs to have a strong will. Sheila could tell that the future would become a world where the weak would get trampled by those stronger than them, and no matter what she did to stop the world from changing, she knew it wasn't possible even with the organization she was going to create. At most, she could only make a certain region free from the influence of the strong prey the weak world.

But that's the only conclusion she could come up with as of now, and since she had the 'Leveling system' with her, there might be a way that would only be available in the future that could help her deal with it. 

When Sheila arrived in front of the old building, she could sense the presence of the people inside were beginning waking up. If she wants to destroy the building, now is the time, though Sheila knows that this will likely attract attention, it would only be for short while as eventually the other news like a celebrity was exposed doing this or that would overshadow it in no time. But before she makes her move, Sheila makes sure that there's no one else in the surrounding area as she didn't the innocent to get caught when the building starts to fall. 

"Blame yourself for seeking revenge against me as I would have forgotten about you otherwise."

With that said, Sheila closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she slowly channels the mana in her body to flow through until it stopped and compressed within the palm of her hands. As the mana slowly flows through her body, Sheila could feel the heat in the air started to rise up until it reached the point where it feels like she was in a sauna with her body soaked with sweats. Once the spell was ready, Sheila prays that those that die here will be reborn into a new life and do good deeds instead of their current one. No matter how corrupt and evil they are, they are still human, the humans that she will remember for the rest of her life as this was the first step she took in taking other lives.

"Inferno."

The moment she mutters those words, a blazing flame flew straight at the old building at an unbelievable speed and, in the blink of an eye, it exploded as everything within the area experience a tremor from the ground which alerted some people that thought it was an earthquake. But it was only for a few short seconds as the moment it stopped, the old building has now become a ruin with debris all over the place. And within the debris, there's a group of people who were buried to death, even to their last breath they couldn't escape the fate of dying under the concrete when the building starts to break down. 

But at the last second, before the spell could hit the building, Sheila is sure that she could sense that there's a new presence suddenly appeared within the building and escape the moment it has taken hold onto another presence with it. Thankfully she was smart enough to immediately hide into the shadow right after firing Inferno, and even if the unknown presence saw her, they won't know who she is as she's currently under the disguise of someone else instead. 

Sheila didn't know who has been taken away with it, but among all the identities, the only important person was Rodrick Jayson. The mere thought of him being saved caused Sheila to frown, she could tell that man will come back again in the future for another revenge.  Ahh, what a headache! I was going to kill off the root once and for all but only for someone else to intrude and save that asshole. Now every time I wake up, I will have to worry about everything and it's also possible that he will once again abduct Yuna... that's the only choice left, huh.  With that thought in mind, Sheila went back to where the girls were waiting for near the convenient store, she did say she was going to take a while to buy 'something' to them, after all.

"So, where did you exactly go?"

As expected of Ria, she knows me. Even so, I can't tell her that I just went and actually killed those people. Though I know that she won't leave me, I still feel insecure that otherwise could happen. She will likely find out about it when it appeared on the news anyway and if she asked, I will clarify it to her but otherwise, I will keep my silence.

"Ah well, I didn't find what I was looking for but I did get ice cream for you two."

With that said, Sheila pulled out three ice cream out of her small pocket without any problem before giving the other two to Ria and Yuna. Though Ria is giving her a suspicious look, she didn't inquire anything and took the ice cream silently. And although Yuna wanted to know how was it possible that three ice cream could fit in such a small pocket, she also keeps her silence and instead enjoys her ice cream. just like the time when her blindfold was removed, although she was relieved, she still finds it unbelievable how the two girls next to her could actually beat the scary grown-up man into a pulp. And she also heard gunshots before yet, when Yuna looked around, she didn't see any guns in person or on the floor. Either Ria or Sheila may have taken over but she didn't see them holding a gun or anywhere in person which was why she finds it strange. 

There's a lot of things she wanted to ask, but knowing Sheila as a magician, she wasn't sure whether to do it or not. Sheila understood this simply when she noticed a few glances from Yuna, and although she was reluctant, now that she knows that Rodrick was saved by someone, she has to bring Yuna to her side and get her level up soon or she might get caught again with no ability to fight back.
