Runemaster in the Last Days

"No help, huh?" Ruth repeated.

She didn't seem to be surprised at all that there were no other reinforcement that Continent Z could provide.

After all, there were not that many returnees.

At least, as far as she knew, there were only a few of them.

Most of them from Continent Z were already here and busy fighting against the magic beasts. Could she hope for them to send more?

"Where's Murin?

The last one who was not here yet was only Murin.

The higher ups said that he will come yesterday but even if they waited until night time, Murin didn't appear at all. It seemed as if he didn't want to come in the first place.

Though, Ruth would not be surprised if that was the case.

After all, this was a man who dared to wage war with the entire world in that world and then got destroyed because he was not strong enough. His magic beast were still weaker than the top figures.

If not because those who were several realms higher didn't want to bully the younger generation, he would have died long ago.

As for the specific treason, Ruth didn't know either.

All she knew was that once they reached a certain rank, they would not interfere too much with the fight of those who had much lower realm. Perhaps it was because their every move could change the fate of countless people.

After all, even a rank 7 magicians could destroy an entire city in one go…

It was terrifying.

"Murin is busy fighting the magic beasts in other areas," the commander replied cautiously.

Busy?

Ruth sneered.

She felt that this was just an excuse made by Murin and the Magic Association. But since this was what they said, then she would have to believe them, at least on the surface.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

No matter what they were all thinking, they could not stop these magic beasts from making trouble. Moreover, the number of the Giant Dark Sparrows continued to increase over and over again.

It seemed as if more and more magic beasts were released out of the crack.

'The formation is really useless.'

Riya looked at the large number of Giant Dark Sparrow and felt that she was simply wasting her time with those formations. But at the same time, if these Giant Dark Sparrows had appeared yesterday, it was estimated that they would not be able to survive either.

Because these returnees were already exhausted yesterday.

They fought with their all and the only thing they could do was to fight again and again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The battle continued and Riya sat beside Samuel, watching the battle in the distance without any intention of making a move.

At least, that's the plan.

There were more and more Giant Dark Sparrows coming out and Riya also frowned. The number of Giant Dark Sparrows were too many and both Dina and Ruth couldn't deal with them in time.

She saw Peter jumping up and down in the distance, but he couldn't help much either.

After all, Peter also lacked long distance attack skill.

"Brother, they're coming!" Amelia yelled in panic.

"Don't worry."

Samuel saw these Giant Dark Sparrows coming over and his expression turned solemn.

Swish! Slash!

The nearest Giant Dark Sparrow was killed instantly.

There were others that was a bit further away and without using any magic spells, he could not kill them. After all, these Giant Dark Sparrows were also rank 7 magic beast.

The difference is that these Giant Dark Sparrows had weak defense, so even Ruth and Dina could deal with it.

BOOM! Rumble!

Riya turned around and saw that a Giant Dark Sparrow had fallen on a building and the soldiers were hurriedly urging their gun to shoot it down. Even if they knew that it was useless, they could not let the Giant Dark Sparrow wreck havoc in City J Base.

"Ahhh!"

The people have been evacuated in advance, but there were still soldiers around.

They were caught in the attack of the Giant Dark Sparrow as it spit out dark element balls around him, killing the few soldiers nearest to it.

Riya watched the scene and her mind went blank for a moment.

"Tsk." Samuel clicked his tongue and quickly turned around. The sword in his hand moved to the Giant Dark Sparrow on the back.

Slash!

Thankfully, the defense of these Giant Dark Sparrows were not too big. In this way, he didn't have to consume so much mana and aura to defeat it.

But the large number of Giant Dark Sparrows would still be very difficult to deal with.

"Damn it."

Now that there were no more Giant Rock Golem, there were only many Giant Dark Sparrows in front of them. Samuel started to switch his target towards these Giant Dark Sparrows, but it was hard to fight when they had to protect the base behind them.

Bang! Bang!

BOOM!

Once again, an explosion sounded in the distance.

Riya could hear the shout, cries, and curses in the distance. It was clear that these three people were all trying their best to protect City J Base behind them. The construction of the base itself took a long time and there were many people in the shelter.

Even if the shelter was saver compared to these buildings, it was still not the best.

In the end, they had to defeat these Giant Dark Sparrows first.

"Ah… it's really annoying."

Riya saw the large number of magic beasts coming over. The soldiers were distracted by these Giant Dark Sparrows that managed to bypass their line of defense and destroyed some buildings.

They couldn't do their work properly.

Riya jumped down from the platform and simply raised her hand. The Protective Rune Circle was drawn quickly, surrounding her. The next moment, she crouched down and then took out a rank 6 magic core and muttered, "Up."

Swish! Swish!

Everyone was stunned when they saw a layer of light appeared around City J Base, protecting it tightly.
