Runemaster in the Last Days

Samuel arched his eyebrows.

The main reason why he agreed was because he could practice a lot within the crack as there were many magic beasts waiting for him to kill.

But if he could get other resources while exploring with Riya, it would also be worth it.

"In that case, your goal is the rank 6 special magic core?"

"Yes." Riya nodded. Right now, she's only a rank 6 magician… rune master. Rather than a rank 5 special magic core, a rank 6 special magic core would be able to help her much better.

"In that case, we have to work hard. It's not so easy to get a rank 6 special magic core." Samuel chuckled.

Recalling their previous experience, Riya also smiled.

The two of them chatted happily as they went deeper into the crack, completely treating this exploration as an outing rather than a dangerous journey.

…

City I Base

Some time passed ever since they had stayed in City I Base.

During this period of time, no one could contact Samuel and Riya but they were not worried about it. If there were any magic beasts that could kill them, then the entire world would be too unsafe.

Those two people were also taking risks by entering the crack, but this kind of risk was nothing much compared to the resources they could get.

With their strength, there was not much that others could worry about.

If they wanted to help, they should practice more and possibly get stronger faster than others. Right now, they were still far behind these returnees who have various tricks under their sleeves.

"Mel, you have only meditated for half an hour," Arnold reminded when he saw Amelia coming out of the room again.

They all rented two houses to live. One house for the women and the other for the men. When they have time, they would practice on the back courtyard that they connected with each other or go out to practice killing those magic beasts.

Live was quite peaceful and relatively harmonious during this period of time.

To be honest, Arnold himself was not sure what kind of mentality he had when they managed to live so well like this.

The battles were tiring.

But at the same time, they knew that they would not die so easily and could rest assured in this temporary residence. Because the protection that Riya gave to them meant that no one would be able to kill them in their sleep.

Moreover, Melly would always stay outside to guard at night.

Even if it was not completely safe and foolproof, but they were definitely not in the most tense state all the time.

It could be said to be quite monotonous.

"I don't feel like meditating today," Amelia admitted in a low voice and sat down on the grass. "Is it not possible for us to increase our mana rapidly through some methods? I feel that it'll take years for me to reach rank 5."

Before coming here, Samuel had told them that he hoped when he came to pay a visit, they had reached rank 5. Because only if they could reach rank 5 would it be possible for him to leave them be and didn't monitor them so much.

As for what Samuel was actually planning, Amelia didn't know.

But she could guess.

Probably leaving City A Base to see the world and helped to clear up the cracks.

After all, the magic beasts that managed to come out of the cracks were not very strong and if Samuel and Riya wanted to get stronger faster, they had to enter the crack on their own.

The two of them had basically cleared out all the magic beasts around City A Base.

It was not an exaggeration to say that City A Base was the safest base in Continent Z with how those two has been clearing out the magic beasts back then.

Now, they were basically replicating what they did around City J Base.

Whether it was for their own good or for something else, no one knew for sure.

But one thing for sure…

There was still a limit to the number of magic beasts.

If Samuel and Riya truly needed these magic beasts as resources to get stronger, it was obvious that the two of them would not stay in City A Base for a long time.

But could they leave them be without any worry?

It was impossible.

The safest method would be for them to catch up with them.

It was just…

That was a mission imposible.

If it was so easy to catch up with these returnees, it would be impossible for them to wait for such a long time.

"There might be some resources, but you have to ask your brother for that," Arnold said helplessly.

Amelia: "…"

Thinking about how her brother has always been punishing her, Amelia felt that it would be better for her not to provoke her brother any further.

She still wanted to live and didn't want to be punished again.

"How about if I ask Riya instead?" Amelia asked helplessly. Even though Riya will definitely diss and tease her, but she would not punish her. In terms of lethality, Riya was definitely less threatening than her brother.

Arnold was silent and he looked at Amelia with the look, 'Are you sure you want to bother her for this?'

Amelia coughed and then stretched her hand. "Oh well, let's just get out and hunt more magic beasts. I can't stand meditating all the time."

Hearing this, Arnold let out a helpless laugh and then nodded.

The two of them went out of the house and headed out of City I Base. Looking at the people who were still skinny and could only force themselves to work for the sake of a little bit of food, Amelia sighed slightly.

Should she be glad that the leader of City I Base was not a corrupt official or feel bad because even if they did help a bit, the situation in City I Base was still not very good?
