Runemaster in the Last Days

Riya: "…"

Samuel: "…"

The two of them were speechless when they heard the sudden challenge. Turning their head to the side, they saw Dina had already arrived on the edge of the platform and looked at the two of them with glare.

Riya saw Dina's expression and silently wondered whether she had done something to offend Dina in the past.

After all, Riya was sure that she really hadn't done anything.

"Are you sure you want to fight right after you have just finished fighting?" Samuel interrupted.

They have just fought all day long to clean up the magic beasts this time.

"I'm not tired yet." Dina's eyes focused on Riya.

She felt that she was really stupid for not recognizing Riya as a rune master. Even though she didn't know that Riya is a rune master, but she should have guessed that Riya is a returnee.

Because there was no way people other than returnee could possibly give her such a strong sense of danger.

She should have guessed that Riya is also another returnee.

Damn it!

Feeling annoyed, Dina wanted to challenge Riya right away.

Riya looked at Dina and then tilted her head. "Forget it. With your current attack, you can't break my defense."

She had seen Dina's battle before. When controlling the formation, she has the privilege to be able to see the situation from all areas within the formation, so she managed to see Dina's battle.

But Dina is still only a rank 5 demonic magician.

With such strength, it was impossible to break Riya's Protective Rune Circle.

"Don't look down on me." Dina's face was dark.

At this moment, Peter came and looked at Dina who was on the verge of exploding. He felt that Dina might not be able to hold back anymore and needed to vent her emotions soon or it would be bad.

"I'm rank 6, Dina," Riya said quietly.

Dina was stunned and then snorted.

She thought about the special magic core within the crack and then asked, "Do you take those special magic core?"

Riya only smiled.

She would not answer this.

Thinking about the possibility of Riya taking those special magic cores from the crack but there was no magic beast's tide in City A Base, Dina felt unbalanced once more.

Why she could take those without any disturbance but she has to face the attack of these rampaging magic beasts?

It was really unfair.

"The formation stated that there's a limit to how many times you can take it. Be it taken by humans or magic beasts who passed by, once you crossed a certain limit, you'll be trapped by the formation from the moment you touched the special magic core," Riya kindly reminded.

Dina's face was dark.

As expected.

There was a trapping formation there.

She had some uneasiness when she saw the formation, the pillar, and the special magic core in the beginning. But because she needed to get stronger faster and increase her mana quickly, Dina took her chance to take the special magic core out.

In this way, she managed to reach the peak of rank 5.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for her to advance without consuming a lot of magic beast's blood.

And taking magic beast's blood was not that easy even for Dina.

Even if she has the experience in that world, but it was a completely different thing. Dina knew very well that it was completely impossible for her to absorb the magic beasts' blood all the time. The 'mental pollution' made it difficult for her to increase her mana quickly.

So when she saw the special magic core, she was really tempted.

It was a chance for her to increase her mana without taking magic beast's blood and it was really harmless.

As for the marking that would appear on their body, who cares about it?

"It seems that you have thorough understanding of the formation." Dina looked at Riya and narrowed her eyes. "But that didn't matter to me. What I want is for us to compete for a while."

Compete…

Riya rubbed her forehead and then pointed outside. There was a clearing where there were no magic beasts because it was either absorbed by the formation or it was destroyed by Dina's magic.

"Let's settle in one attack. If you can defeat my Protective Rune Circle with your magic, then you win."

Anyway, Riya didn't think that the magic spell from Dina could defeat her.

"You're really arrogant."

"It's called confidence."

Dina snorted. But she also knew that this condition was very favorable to her. In that world, she had destroyed countless Protective Rune Circle.

Just destroying another one would be easy, right?

"Deal."

With that, Riya nodded and glanced at Samuel and Peter.

Seeing the two of them had no objection, the two of them jumped down the platform.

Samuel looked at the two people who were walking away and then asked, "Are you not going to warn her about Riya's formation?"

"Is there any need for that?" Peter asked back. "She will not listen even if I say anything."

Samuel was silent.

Well, it seemed to be true.

Seeing the two women were getting ready to fight, he shook his head and chose to forget about it.

Considering Dina's headstrong personality, she would not listen from others.

As for Riya's defense…

Looking at the formations that could defend against those Giant Dark Sparrows perfectly, Samuel felt that it was impossible for Dina to break the defense easily.

"Ready?"

"Yes."

Dina looked at Riya and then immediately chanted, "I am the lord of the dark. May the darkness come and envelop the entire world. Block every ray of light, descend onto the world and cover every surface in the darkness. Darkness is the greatest power in the entire world. Let the darkness come, Dark World!"

Bang!

The dark element swished towards Riya and she did nothing but to watch it. The Protective Rune Circle was still active.

And the next moment, she was completely submerged under the dark element.
