Runemaster in the Last Days

Samuel nodded.

"Do you plan to take the special magic cores now?"

"Don't worry, I set up the teleportation formation outside and we'll be teleported right away," Riya replied with a smile. "There won't be such a case where we have to run around while being chased by the magic beasts again."

Thinking about the past where the two of them had to run around because of these magic beasts, Samuel laughed.

It couldn't be said to be a bad past, but it was indeed very tiring for them to keep running around because the magic beasts were chasing after them. The main cause was naturally these formations that made trouble for them.

Samuel pointed outside. "I'll wait within the formation. When you're done, just come out and activate it."

"Got it."

Riya looked at the walls and studied it.

Seeing that the number had changed, Riya knew that either Ruth or Dina should have taken the special magic cores here.

But even if they took it, it didn't matter that much.

After all, Riya never stipulated that these special magic cores were hers. The rules for the resources in the wilderness has always been whoever got it could get it.

So she simply looked around and after confirming the use of the formation, took the special magic core and headed out.

The formation would not activate so quickly, so she went out and activated the teleportation formation.

Swish!

They moved away from the previous location.

Samuel looked at the dark cave in front of him and arched his eyebrows. "We're going deeper?"

"Yes."

"How many more special magic cores do you plan to take?" Samuel asked, half complaining.

"I don't know… but I think that my body will reach its limit soon," Riya replied as she rubbed her chest.

There were petal markings there, which had long formed the shape of lotus and had become clearer and clearer. From what Riya knew, taking too much special magic core could change their body's constitution.

At the same time, such natural resources couldn't be absorbed unlimitedly by humans.

Because too much of it would make their connection to nature closer and made them separated from their human's emotions.

This was one of the drawback of the special magic cores.

Normally, people would not be able to find more than one special magic core in their entire life. After all, the special magic cores were formed in extremely special places and it couldn't be obtained through normal means.

But these formations were all using special magic cores to power them up, which gave people chance to get it.

Of course, artificial special magic core could be formed…

But the price is very big.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many magic beasts dying within the crack because of this matter.

"I see." Samuel nodded, not too surprised.

Riya chuckled when she saw Samuel's expressions. "I don't plan to take this rank 5 special magic core… I plan to give it to Amelia."

Hearing the world Amelia, Samuel turned to look at Riya.

"I know that Amelia is naturally talented and could reach higher ranks faster, but at the same time, her concentration when meditating is extremely low," Riya said helplessly. "Her physical strength is far better than her mana, which is not very conductive for a magic warrior."

A magic warrior would try to strike a balance between their physical strength and mana improvement.

Normally speaking, it should be the same for Amelia.

But her talent was a bit special as in her physical strength increased rapidly during various battles. While battle would mostly hone people's experience, instinct, and so on, but for Amelia, it would also help her to increase her strength faster.

This caused some imbalance between her mana improvement and her physical improvement.

If Amelia could use the special magic core, her mana would be more abundant than before.

"I don't think that she can use one special magic core," Samuel said with a frown. "The amount of mana contained within it is too much for a magic warrior of the same ranks to absorb."

Not to mention, Amelia was only a rank 4 magic warrior.

If she were to take this special magic core, the mana amount within her body might be more than what a rank 6 magic warrior needed…

It was too much.

"How about dividing it into four?" Riya asked after some contemplation.

"Four?"

"Arnold, Amelia, Ruben, and Stephen," Riya replied. "Ruben and Stephen are magicians, so they need mana more while Amelia and Arnold have some disparage between their mana improvement and their physical improvement."

Samuel thought about it and then pursed his lips. "If it's Ruben and Stephen, they might need an entire special magic core rather than just half."

"Then I'll look more for them." Riya laughed. "For the first one, I'll just divide it into four like this. The quarter of a special magic core would be more than enough for Amelia and Arnold to practice for a long time."

As for herself?

A rank 5 special magic core didn't have much use anymore for Riya.

As for giving it to other returnees?

Sorry, she was not that selfless.

Unless they could come up with something that she needed, then Riya would rather give this to her friends that might need it more.

After all, the stronger her friends, the more reassured Riya would be.

She didn't want to worry about her friends all the time. Even though so, there were times when Riya didn't really want to involve them into this dangerous world. If not because the world itself changed and dragged everyone into this whirlpool, she would have never told any of them about this matter.

It was simply too dangerous and probably should be said to be magical.

"So you plan to get more?" Samuel asked in amusement.

"Yes~." Riya nodded with a smile.

"Then I'll help you."

"Of course you have to help me. Haven't you promised to accompany me when we're in the crack?"
