Unrivaled System

Chapter 206: (Formation)

Standing in mid air, he scanned every inch of the Land of Shadows with his eyes.

"Sistine, where is the world source located?"

After not finding out anything that could be related to the so-called world source that he heard of, he asked.

"I'm not quite sure myself, but the world source should be located at the very most center of a world or dimension."

Sistine answered.

"The center... you say." He focused his eyes towards the direction where the center of the world is located.

"...there is nothing worth noticing, only the swamp..." He said while in deep thought.

The very most center that he was looking, was the very same place where the space-boundary between two dimensions is located. In another words, the entrance, it's the first place he was at after arriving in the Land of Shadows.

The swamp, the poisonous swamp. The swamp that taste like shit.

Suddenly, his eyes made a sharp glint, seemed like he had a realization.

"Illusion?... that should be it." In a second, he vanished and arrive at the bottom of the poisonous swamp.

He didn't forget to use his [Fortification Barrier] as to not get exposed to the poisonous water that taste like shit.

"The time I was using my eyes to pierce through and confirm what was on the other side of the dimension, it actually tricked and lead me to this swamp, even though I didn't see one... so maybe the world source is covered with another illusion. An illusion that escaped my eyes grasp."

"Mhn, if you didn't got that ability, the ability to be immune to poison, or maybe a resistance. You would have not got out unscathed.

"Well, yeah... I'll be careful next time." He was a bit embarrassed with his carelessness.

"Moving on, do you think that the world source is really located here?... No matter how I focused with my eyes, I didn't seem to find anything out of place here."

"If what you said is true, the illusion can't be seen with your eyes right? Maybe you're already under the effect of the illusion."

"You think so? I don't seem to sense anything that change. I wonder who made the illusion though, surely that guy is a powerful individual.

"Maybe... so what do you plan doing"

"Well, I have no idea how to solve this illusion, or is it even a illusion. But I do know how to solve troublesome things..."

"How?"

"Destruction!... through destruction I would surely find something here as I destroy the place."

"Eh, that kind of thing... at this kind of situation, maybe that's the only efficient way, I don't really like the idea of solving things with force, however.

"I can't help it, I don't have the least bit of knowledge solving things like this, and it's easier this way."

Natalia, his scythe then appeared on his hand, clad with silvery-like aura. It was actually coated with his [Nihility].

"Fade!" He swung his scythe at every direction at the bottom of the swamp.

It immediately took effect, silvery-like aura spread all over the place, the water filled with poison started fading, and many more. At this rate within a couple of seconds, the poisonous swamp will completely vanish from existence.

"Stop! Stop! Dear, quickly stop! Don't entirely destroy this place." Sistine's panicked voice interrupted him from swinging his scythe a couple of more times.

Confused of Sistine's state, he lowered his hand down and stop swinging his scythe.

"What's the matter?"

"It's my fault that I didn't tell you, but this whole swamp is a very important resources of this dimension, I don't know the exact details... all I know is that this swamp is connected to almost everything in this world.

Minerals, materials, trees and many others could continue to exist in this dimension is because of this swamp. I don't know how, but I think it's because of the energy the swamp has."

"Is that so, the trees in this world is sure is different from Arcadia, stuffs like sunlight (AN: Am I right?) that help grow trees doesn't exist here. Others stuff might be also the same... why didn't you tell me sooner?."

"Well, I didn't think that your actions could lead this entire swamp into destruction, I thought you would only damage it a bit before stopping. It's your fault for swinging it around like that without even a single thought of stopping." Sistine pouted.

"It's may fault now!!? Anyway, I guess all that damage isn't just for show... my efforts finally paid off."

He noticed that there was a strange disturbance at the deepest part of the swamp that he did not know of before.

"Is that what you really call effort, but I couldn't argue since it worked." Sistine sighted.

He teleported to get more closer.

Located at the deepest part of the swamp, there was nothing strange, it was normal. Except for one thing, if someone would stare at it for a couple of seconds, that someone wouldn't find anything. However, if you focused your eyes, not only focus but immense yourself as if there is nothing else that exist and concentrate with your eyes.

You would then find something, based on his view it looked like an illusionary barrier, and a small part of the barrier disappeared, this was because of his [Nihility]. Other than that very small part, there was nothing note worthy of seeing.

"My eyes can't really see through it huh? even with [Infinite]... luckily [Nihility] works. My [Nihility] should be at the second stage now, since my strength increased. As for my [Infinite] it still didn't change."

"What is this Sisitne?" His hand clad with [Nihility] touched the illusionary barrier, and it slowly started fading until he stopped it. The part that disappeared is a size that a normal person could pass through.

"This should be a Formation." Sistine answered.

"What's a formation? No, I mean I kinda already get the gist of it, but I just want to be exact."

Just like he said, he already knows what's a formation, but he wasn't sure if he is right or not. Things such as games, novels, manga, and other related stuff. If you are exposed to this kind of things, the word Formation is not rare.

"Let's see, all my knowledge comes from the ruler of the gods himself, though it's quite vague. A formation should be like an arrangement of sorts? I'm not particularly clear myself. But you need a set of materials before setting a formation. Placement, right materials and other factors is what creates a formation.

There are lots of formation with different variations. This one right now should be related to an illusion just like you said, it created a barrier of illusion. Some common types are defensive formation, a formation that deflects attack, and many more."

Sistine explained.

"Well, I know at least that much, seems like it's not far from what I know of... judging by how big this formation is the materials used to create this would undoubtedly be good. Especially, the core!."

"You know the core of a formation? I was just about to tell you..."

"Don't be sad, you can share more of your knowledge later. The core of the formation, is the most important part. Because it's where the formation takes it's energy from.

A formation can't just last for long without it's core maintaining it. Usually, formation such as this one has a long life span."

He then quickly went inside.
