Runemaster in the Last Days

"It's scary…" Amelia watched from the platform and trembled when she saw the two people who fought.

She had seen Dina's attack because that Dark World's magic spell was such a big area of attack. The scene where the dark element completely swept over the field was very clear in their mind.

It was really domineering and powerful.

And naturally, very destructive.

Nothing remained after Dina's attack and this was something that everyone could see very clearly.

"Will she be alright?" Sean asked with a frown. Facing that kind of attack… he was not sure that anyone would be fine. There were many magic beasts that had fallen under Dina's attack not long ago.

"She's fine."

Samuel could sense that Riya was perfectly fine.

Having fought side by side with Riya for a long time, Samuel knew very well that the Protective Rune Circle that Riya had was more than enough to protect her. He didn't know how she modified it, but it was able to block even peak rank 6 magic beast's attack.

Compared to them, Dina's attack was not even half as powerful.

Of course, this didn't mean that Dina was useless. When fighting against relatively weaker magic beasts, she would still be able to fight back pretty well and would help them greatly in a battle.

Swish!

The dark element receded.

Dina looked at the front with some anticipation, but her expression froze when she saw the faint runes circle that had started to appear. As more part of the Protective Rune Circle could be seen, Dina frowned.

Her fingers were clenched to form a fist.

At this moment, Dina could clearly feel that Riya was really strong. Even without her doing anything, the Protective Rune Circle alone was more than enough to protect her from her attack.

It felt a bit frustrating.

She was fighting with all she got, but she couldn't even make the other party serious.

"Alright. The battle is over," Riya said with a faint smile and then walked back to the gate. She could see that there were still many soldiers looking in her direction and tried her best to ignore the gaze.

Being under the spotlight has never been pleasant.

At least, not for Riya.

She felt as if she was under scrutiny of many people when she approached the gate. This made her really want to run away if it was possible.

'But running away won't solve this problem.'

Perhaps if she had worn a mask, it would be possible to hide her identity, but Riya didn't want to hide forever. There was no point in hiding and there was nothing to hide either.

It was just…

Being looked by so many people still felt uncomfortable.

Tep.

"You're amazing, Riya!" Amelia immediately jumped to Riya and hugged the other party. "You really need to teach me how to do it! That way, I can also pretend… I mean, I can also protect others."

Riya: "…" Did you just accidentally reveal your real reason why you want to learn.

She looked at her best friend speechlessly.

For some reasons, she had the feeling that Amelia was not being serious at all.

"Stupid. You're not a rune master. How can you learn that Protective Rune Circle?" Sean mocked from the side.

He knew very well that the Protective Rune Circle was not so easy to make when he heard his brother explained it before. So when he saw Riya used it, he only felt that it was convenient but he had no intention of learning.

He's a magic warrior, not rune master.

Rather than expecting himself to be able to learn other people's specialties, it would be better for him to focus on other things that could help him get stronger.

"You're such an annoying brother." Amelia's face was black. "There should be a way for me to learn it, right?"

"If there's anyone who could learn among us, it would be Ruben!"

Hearing this sentence, Amelia turned her head to look at Ruben, who was standing not far from them.

Ruben arched his eyebrows and grinned. "Master had agreed to teach me after I reach rank 5 because this can only be done by rank 5 rune master or above."

Below rank 5, their mana was not enough to form a complete Protective Rune Circle. And if the Protective Rune Circle was not complete, the defensive power would be full of holes and easy to be defeated.

This was one of the reasons why Riya gave him a requirement if he wanted to learn it.

"That's not fair! I want to learn it too!" Amelia started to make trouble.

Riya looked at Amelia helplessly and said, "I don't think you can stand memorizing so many runes… also, your mana control is not up to standard."

Mana control?

When Riya mentioned that, Amelia froze and then recalled her training before. Even though Amelia and Sean were both training their mana daily, but their training didn't make much progress.

Because it was difficult for them to accomplish what Riya said before.

Afterwards, there were also the follow up training that their brother arranged for them.

It was not so easy.

"My mana control has gotten better…" Amelia defended weakly.

Riya shook her head in amusement. "Forget it. Without any talent as rune master, you might spend a few minutes to make the Protective Rune Circle. No enemy will be wiling to let you draw the formation for so long."

Unless it was a sparring, they would never let their enemies finish their move if it was possible. After all, what they wanted was to win eh battle at all cost because a real battle would be a battle of life and death.

If they were not careful, they would not be able to get out of the battle alive.

It was not something that they wanted to happen in the slightest bit.

"Uh…" Amelia tilted her head. "How long does it take for you to finish drawing the formation?"

"Me? A few seconds are enough."

The others: "…" so fast?
