Runemaster in the Last Days

Samuel looked back and saw Riya who was still crouching on the ground. With the Protective Rune Circle around her, there wouldn't be anyone who could hurt her even if the formation was broken.

No, it seemed that this was a protective measure against people inside City J Base.

After all, no one knew if there was someone with other intentions.

This is not City A Base where all the soldiers were picked carefully and everyone would not hurt the returnee. Because they all understood that these people were the ones who had protected them so far.

But this is City J Base.

The water is mixed here and there was no guarantee that some people would not attack them when they were vulnerable.

It was frustrating, but it was also the truth.

It was also because of this that they could not put down their guard completely when they were here.

Swish!

They could see the thin layer of barrier all around City J Base. When these Giant Dark Sparrows tried to break through, they were blocked with powerful force.

*screech*

The angry Giant Dark Sparrows flew over. They could feel that their attack was bounced right towards them, which made them even more enraged.

And the moment they were distracted and had to retreated a bit, the attack from the other returnee had come.

Jleb!

An arrow pierced through the Giant Dark Sparrow's heart and it fell down to the ground with a loud thud.

Ruth looked at the barrier around her and her eyes flickered. Everyone was within the barrier, but their attack didn't hurt the barrier in the slightest bit as they could still attack the magic beasts outside.

This is a one way barrier.

To make this kind of formation that would allow one side to attack and the other side to defend is by no means something that could be made so easily. In that world, this kind of formation was usually used as the trump card of some guild or families.

'I didn't expect to see such a barrier again in this life.'

Ruth calmed down.

With the barrier protecting City J Base, there was no need for her to worry so much about the situation of the base behind her. This meant that she could focus on fighting against these Giant Dark Sparrows outside.

As for other lower ranked magic beasts?

They could be handed over to the soldiers.

"These… what are these…?" The commander not far from Ruth was stunned when he saw the thin layer of barrier. The barrier was not completely invisible. Instead, they could see a thin layer of glass like thing surrounding the entire City J Base.

There was a faint hue of blue on the surface, but not enough to change the color of the environment outside.

It was beautiful.

"Can't you see it? It's a formation." Ruth readied her bow and arrow once more. "A formation that completely protected the base."

Dzing! Jleb!

More Giant Dark Sparrows fell down under Ruth's attack.

The commander was silent as he looked at the formation in front of them, his mind was in a mess. Even he could guess that the rumored rune master should have come and followed Samuel to City J Base.

Among the few people who came with Samuel, one of them is the rune master.

This…

The commander sighed deeply.

He felt that the higher ups were really bold to send the rune master here.

Considering that Dina was also here and had inexplicable obsession with the strong, she would not be able to accept seeing more and more strong people around her.

But forget it.

City J Base's situation is more important.

Other people in various other bases nearby had been evacuated and this City J Base could be said to be the frontline. Their main task right now was to buy time. Otherwise, Samuel and the others would not have been sent here.

"I am the lord of the darkness. May the darkness come and form a weapon in my hand, be the strongest spear for me. Darkness is the greatest power in the entire world. Dark Spears!"

Thud! Thud!

Several Giant Dark Sparrows fell down from the sky following Dina's magic spell. She looked at these Giant Dark Sparrows coldly and then glanced at the shield around her.

As someone who returned from that world, there was no way Dina didn't know about the formation and so on.

Even demonic magicians could also use runes, all right.

Of course, that didn't include her.

Dina didn't have any talent in this field and she didn't want to force it either. After all, Dina had fully understood that if she forced herself, what awaited her would be an extremely gruesome memorization days.

Since she has no talent, she would not pursue this matter.

But…

"So you really bring the rune master here, Samuel." Dina sneered.

The higher ups really wanted to protect City J Base…. Or it might be because there were many people behind them who were still evacuating.

The people in City J Base was basically the last batch to be evacuated should something happen. It was simply because there were still her and many other returnees here.

Now…

"I won't lose against you, b*stard!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As these Giant Dark Sparrows fell down one by one, Samuel turned to look at Riya and saw her calm expression.

He understood that with this action, Riya had officially declared that she will stop hiding and so on. Previously, there were only a small number of people who knew Riya's identity because she made a move when they were in that crack.

But from now on, there will be many people who knew about her…

Samuel chuckled and then looked at the distance.

Since she's behind him, protecting the base, he will focus on dealing with these Giant Dark Sparrows and other magic beasts!

Being able to fight to his heart content, it's really pleasurable.

"Lightning strike!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!
