Chapter 164: Ultimate Protection For The Nymph
Just when dinner was over and everyone had fallen into a deep slumber, Aerith appeared from the dimensional rift.
At that moment, Arthur was still awake in his home, watching the status of his attributes carefully.
"I did it," Aerith said.
She showed a formation slip item to Arthur, hovering before him constantly. Arthur smiled, reaching out to grab and hold the item.
Arthur could feel that there was magic stored inside, but the formation slip was still empty, not filled with any magic.
"Then, how do I add magic to the formation slip?" Arthur asked, curious.
Aerith described the way Arthur could store magic on the formation slip. The man had to activate his sub talent first before inputting the talent magic into the formation slip, Arthur understood fully.
[Talent Activated]
[Sub Talent Activated]
[Reality Domain]
[MP -40000]
[Name: Aaron]
[MP: 1179000/1375000] [-40000]
The purple light from the magic appeared on the tips of Arthur's fingers. Before using it, Aerith had him direct the talent's magic attack right at the formation slip. The formation slip would absorb the power instead of being destroyed by it.
[Formation slip detected]
[Initiates magic rune storage process]
[Magic: Reality Domain]
[Rank: SSS-R]
[Formation slip activation requires a sufficient amount of MP]
[Total magic runes stored: 1/5]
[MP requirement for formation slip activation: 45000 MP]
The dome of Reality Domain that was almost formed began to be absorbed into the formation slip floating in front of it.
Slowly, the dome disappeared and was fully absorbed into the item. One of the five small circles glowed blue, a sign that magic had been embedded in it.
"Pretty easy, right?" asked Aerith, Arthur nodded.
"If the slip can store five magics. What if I keep it until the indicator is full?" Arthur asked.
"You can, but you need to talk to them. Make sure they have sufficient MP capacity to activate the formation slip," Aerith replied.
"You should keep the two sub talents as before. As for adding other magic, do it when you get certainty."
Arthur nodded. He had activated his main talent. Now, it was his turn to activate his secondary talent, the Gravity Manipulation talent.
The secondary talent activation panel activated before Arthur, he activated the fifth or ultimate sub talent of the Gravity Manipulation talent.
[Talent Activated]
[Sub Talent Activated]
[Gravity Area Control]
[MP -30000]
[Name: Aaron]
[MP: 1149000/1375000] [-30000]
White light appeared at the tips of two fingers of Arthur's right hand. As before, he made an outstretched gesture and directed the sub talent's attack forward, aiming at the formation slip.
Gradually, the large round light in the slip absorbed Arthur's Gravity Area Control sub talent. The formation slip absorbed the power quickly and well, impressing Arthur.
A small circle lit up again in blue, a sign that another magic had entered the formation slip and was ready to be used.
[Formation slip detected]
[Initiates magic rune storage process]
[Magic: Gravity Area Control]
[Rank: S-R]
[Formation slip activation requires a sufficient amount of MP]
[Total magic runes stored: 2/5]
[MP requirement for formation slip activation: 75000 MP]
Arthur stopped his activities, deactivating his two talents. He held the formation slip in his hand, feeling the flow of magic inside the item getting stronger and more intense.
"With this thing, you don't have to worry about their safety. They'll be fine," Aerith replied.
"Of course. Thank you, Aerith."
"Anything for you, Aaron."

The next day.
Nymph Village.
Before leaving, Arthur gathered the people in the center of the village. They, mostly women, agreed to Arthur's request. Nyxie, Philise, and Nerisha were present, with Thalenia and Miki beside them.
All gathered, it was time for Arthur to show them the formation slip. This item, if used properly, would protect the village for hundreds of years ahead.
"What are you trying to do?" asked Nyxie.
"Is your rain illusion already active?"
Nyxie said yes, they had activated it since the battle ended yesterday. Still, they were worried about the humans trying to come and destroy the rain illusion.
"It is, but I doubt it will last if there are groups of humans attacking again."
"You don't have to worry about that," Arthur explained.
The man brought up a formation slip and flew it to the top of the forest, not too far from the location of the Nymph village.
All eyes were glued to the item, a white-colored one that gave off a constant white light.
With an upward hand gesture, Arthur concentrated his magic to activate the formation slip. Arthur asked them to watch his moves carefully while explaining the use of the formation slip.
[Formation slip activated]
[Reality Domain Activated]
[Gravity Area Control Activated]
[MP -75000]
[Name: Aaron]
[MP: 1300000/1375000] [-75000]
The two blue circles that were previously lit up became red. From the top of the formation slip, purple and white magic emanated at the same time.
The purple magic spread the dome 5km away from the center of the formation slip, any stranger who hit the dome would be trapped in a random illusion.
White magic radiated outward covering the dome, towering like an invisible pillar. Anyone who trespassed into the place without permission would be hit with a strong gravitational pressure.
Nyxie listened carefully, but they did not understand Arthur's meaning.
"I've set up the authority inside. I have activated it and left the people of this village protected," Arthur replied.
"That's enough when we go from here to the next floor," said the man, Nyxie still not understanding.
Another group appeared from the west, there were five of them flying with their beast servants. Their arrival was solely to go on a wild monster hunt, but they flew close to the Sylph rainforest.
Just as the leading man hit the gravity pillar, his body fell to the ground with a groan of pain. The other four panicked, trying to release their friend from the mysterious gravitational pressure.
Nyxie nodded, as did the others. Indirectly, Arthur had given them an item to activate the defense mode, the gravity was the first line, the domain illusion was the second and the rain illusion was the last.
"See? No one can hurt you," Arthur said.
"Thank you so much, Arthur. I don't know how we can repay your kindness," Nyxie said, her cheeks flushed a deep red.
"Just give Thalenia a vial of beast essence and let her level up."
Nyxie turned her head to the side, smiling down at Thalenia. It was fortunate that the woman had a master as good as Arthur, he could protect her well throughout the rest of their journey. Nyxie always wished Arthur the best.
After being taught how to activate the formation slip, Arthur bid farewell. Nyxie nodded, waving as she let Arthur go.
With his Venerable Sage ability, Arthur flew out of the Sylph rainforest to speed towards the 17th Sky Sword base. There, Sara and the others must have been waiting for him anxiously.
THUMP!
Just before he arrived at the base, he saw two groups fighting each other. The group with plain red uniforms was attacking a group living on the hill, the group with gray-white uniforms.
One of the group members turned his head to the sky. His eyes found the existence of Arthur who was floating freely in the air without any assistance, surprising her.
"Sir ... please help us."
