Runemaster in the Last Days

Along with the lightning that seemed to split the sky, the grounds were cracked and there were many small slashes forming on the ground.

The flying magic beast was not as powerful as Samuel, but there was no problem if it wanted to destroy the ground.

Rumble!

Dust flared up, covering up the place.

The commotion had long attracted the attention of many people but no one dared to come forwards. They all knew that if they dared to step forward, what awaited them would be nothing more than their own death.

Swish!

Seeing the chaos, a smile unconsciously formed on Murin's lips. But before it was truly formed, a voice made him unable to do so.

"What makes you think… that the runes couldn't move?" A calm female voice came from pile of dusts.

Swish!

The next moment, Riya had already moved away from her original position and was now standing not far from Samuel. Her hands hadn't stopped from the very beginning and still formed runes.

The left and right hands were forming different runes at the same time. Her left hand moved towards herself while the right hand pointed towards Murin.

Seeing that, Murin had a bad expression and quickly called out his magic beasts.

"Brilliant Frozen Strike."

Boom!

*screech*

Wind barrier was formed, blocking Riya's attack.

But this is only the beginning.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Within seconds, the two sides exchanged various moves. Even with the flying magic beasts entangling Riya, she didn't pay attention to it at all and the Protective Rune Circle completely protected her.

Her hand was increasing her senses, physical fitness, attack power, and so on through her left hand.

Her right hand was busy launching one attack after another.

Murin was forced to move around with his flying magic beast and his expression was not very good. Even if it was possible for him to use his other magic beasts, but he had no plan to let all of them came out.

The other two magic beasts were entangled with Samuel and tried their best to dodge his attack. But Samuel has long been known for his fast and ruthless attack, so after a while, these two magic beasts suffered some weapon attacks from time to time.

It was really miserable.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just watching from the side, the three returnees who were watching from the wall could guess the result.

"Murin is completely defeated," Peter said with a sigh.

He was busy walking around the base, looking at how Dina has been doing all these years and wanting to know how she managed the base. The soldiers were not willing to let him know too many things, but it was good enough that they didn't stop him.

When he heard the loud screech, he instantly knew that this was at least a rank 6 flying magic beast and rushed over to the wall.

But after seeing that it was Murin…

Peter lost the interest to fight.

While Murin's deeds were well known in that world, Peter didn't like to fight with Murin. The main reason was because Murin loved to run away with his flying magic beasts, making the battle more meaningless.

As a warrior, he couldn't fly!

He could only chase after the magic beasts that Murin released and when the time was up, Murin could easily call these magic beasts back to the pet space. At that time, Murin would have already run far away with his flying magic beasts.

Peter wouldn't be able to do anything.

So when he saw that it was Murin who wanted to make some small troubles to Samuel and Riya, he chose to watch as bystander without hesitation.

"Um."

Ruth looked at the battle with some interest.

She knew that the rune master had appeared, but she didn't know the other party. Considering that she was not close to the rune master, Ruth didn't take the initiative to show her face.

Because she knew that socializing was useless.

Her skills were not in that department either, so she just watched and do what she should do. As long as they didn't bother her practice and allowed her to do what she wanted in her free time, Ruth didn't have much demand.

When she heard the loud sound of the magic beasts, she naturally came to the wall.

She has been paid to help protecting the city, so Ruth would still do the work she should do well. After all, if the city was destroyed, her life might also be in danger.

And then she saw Murin.

He was confronting two people.

Ruth recognized Samuel since he caused some fuss when he came to City J Base some time ago and also fought heroically. It was simply impossible for Ruth not to recognize him in that situation.

So she chose not to interfere.

If Murin wanted to do something, he was basically facing the two strongest people whom he could ever face.

And as Ruth could see, Murin is not their match.

While she could see that Murin was not doing his best because he only used four magic beasts from the beginning until the end, but it was not like these two people were doing their best either.

It was just…

"She's a pure rune master… it's really rare." Ruth could see the dual runes that Riya made and felt somewhat amazed.

Because Ruth knew the difference between chatting spells and drawing runes midair like that. Even the slightest bit of mistake could turn one rune to a completely different ones which could have the opposite effect.

Yet, Riya was fighting without even looking at her runes properly and even had the time to move around.

Yes, Riya didn't stay in one place.

Ruth could understand how magicians chanted while moving around, but she couldn't understand how Riya could form runes while running around.

Does the runes she made moved along with her?

It seemed unscientific.

Or there were some tricks involved that she couldn't see?
