Runemaster in the Last Days

The others laughed when they saw Amelia fuming.

"You almost crashed the car when you drive."

"I didn't!"

"On the days when you first learn how to drive…"

"Ahh, don't say it!"

The others laughed as they entered the car. Amelia is really funny. She would definitely make them laugh from time to time.

They all quickly entered the car, divided to five people per car.

Sean was with Joan, Stephen, Sophia, and Peter.

Arnold was with Samuel, Riya, Amelia, and Ruben.

"Isn't this arrangement a bit one sided?" Arnold asked as they entered the car.

"No."

Samuel saw that Riya has started drawing two runes, one pointing to the car on the side and the other one towards this car.

He arched his eyebrows and then said aloud, "Be prepared when driving."

"What?"

Whoosh!

When the two people stepped on the gas, the car nearly ran out at high speed. The sudden speed shocked the others in the car as they tried their best to hold on anything that could help them stay on the car well.

"The hell?"

"Drive properly!"

Some people screamed and yelled.

"Sean!"

"But I barely step on the gas!" Sean yelled back as he tried his best to control the car. The speed of the car scare him, but he got used to it slowly. He felt that Samuel should have warned them for some reasons but his mind was a mess right now.

He truly couldn't think of anything.

The only thing he could do was to stabilize the car and made sure that he would not overturn it because it was speeding too fast.

Brrrm!

Arnold was not in any better's situation than Sean in the beginning. The car rushed out even though he barely stepped on the accelerator as if there was a magic beast chasing after them.

But Arnold's control was stronger because he quickly held the steering wheel and prevent the car from going out of control.

"It's so much faster than usual." Arnold smirked and then slowly increased the speed. Even though the speed shouldn't have been so fast, but the car shoot up very quickly.

This made those who saw it dumbfounded.

Because no one expected that the car would be so fast.

"…What runes did you use, Riya?" Samuel asked speechlessly. He was not afraid that they would crash because he believed in these two people's driving skills. But he still felt that it was a bit outrageous.

This was already more than twice the speed limit.

"Speed and protection runes," Riya replied as she was also holding on her chair tightly. It was similar to the formation that she used when she, Amelia, and Ruby headed to City A Base in the past, but she had strengthened it so that it would be safer.

"What?" Amelia was stunned.

"It's so fast… ah!"

"Teacher, you should remind us before…" Ruben felt like vomiting in the car. The car was going on at high speed and it was hard for them to keep their balance. For someone with weaker physical strength, Ruben felt that his entire stomach was turned upside down.

"Well, the road here is not very good…"

The outpost is called outpost because it was built near the end of the road that has been built around City A Base. The areas between the outpost and City A Base has been cleaned up and road has been built.

But after the outpost, there were still ruins and also forests.

Clearly, it has been left untouched for a long time.

There might be plans to clean up the ruins but the forest and so on would be left alone. They could not afford causing deforestation worse in the Green Planet otherwise, they might risk changing their planet's name to Brown Planet.

Well… it doesn't sound so bad.

But thinking that the temperature will turn hot without enough trees… it might even turn into Red Planet.

Swoosh!

The car speed up and both Arnold and Sean adapted to the high speed driving quickly. It could be said that Sean was also very excited because it was rare for them to be able to drive at such speed.

This was already far beyond the speed limit.

He didn't even know the car was capable of going at such speed.

"Thankfully the road is straight," Amelia murmured when she looked outside.

Aside from some shaking because the roads were uneven, the direction was relatively straight. In this way, they didn't have to worry so much about Arnold suddenly steering the car to one or the other side.

"How long will it take to reach City J?" Ruben was holding his mouth, resisting the urge to vomit. He felt that this was definitely the worst trip he had ever experienced in his entire life.

The car was shaking so badly that his stomach couldn't stand it.

"With this speed?" Samuel arched his eyebrows. "Between three to six hours, depending on the driver and the road."

"Ugh…"

Three more hours like this?

Ruben's eyes turned gray and he really wanted to knock himself out. If he fainted, at the very least, he didn't have to suffer so much from this unreasonable drive.

*roar*

Time passed quietly until they heard roaring from outside.

Riya raised her head and looked at the distance. "There are a lot of magic beasts in that direction."

"Do you want to go there?" Amelia asked. She had somehow managed to adapt to this turbulent drive. Even though Amelia couldn't say that this was the most comfortable journey she had ever experienced, it was good enough.

"We're heading to City J at the fastest speed possible, so no." Samuel shook his head.

"Alright."

Amelia raised her head and looked at the distance. The next moment, she froze.

Because she clearly saw a few pillars suddenly rise up and then a few people on top of the pillars started to dance and sing loudly.

They couldn't hear the voice from this distance, but that dance…

Ahhhh!
