Runemaster in the Last Days

Rank 7 is a special ranks.

The main reason why it was special was because one who could reach rank 7 meant that they had stepped onto the higher realm.

Every three ranks were another realm.

And the gap between rank 6 and rank 7 was extremely big.

Moreover…

Advancing from rank 6 to rank 7 meant that they have to prepare a 'ceremony.' Every profession has their own ceremony and it was clear that Riya's ceremony involved the matter of forming various formations.

"Magicians have to wait until their mana is full and warriors have to wait until their blood was at their peak state," Riya said calmly as she continued to draw on the ground. The blood red markings looked very eye catching.

To be honest, many people might feel this image in front of them a bit disturbing.

But Riya didn't feel anything.

From the moment she chose to become a rune master, she knew very well that the materials that she used would mainly be magic beasts' blood.

Collecting the magic beasts' blood and processing them has become the norm for her.

People with blood phobia would definitely not be able to last long in this profession.

The only good thing was probably she didn't have to collect people's blood. If she had to, then Riya might have to start doubting whether her decision is correct.

"That's not an answer," Samuel said slowly.

"We have already reached rank 7 once… so you should know that the most important thing is the state of mind. Everything else is auxiliary and could use other means to push our state to the peak."

If their minds were not ready, then no matter how they prepared themselves, it would be useless.

But if they were prepared, then it was good.

Other things were simply related to their situation after their advancement, which was not very important.

However, they have never been told by others.

At least, not before they reached rank 7.

It was only after they reached rank 7 did they realize that the meticulous preparation was actually more or less for their state of mind. As long as their minds are firm enough, they could actually advanced to rank 7.

They didn't dare to tell the children about this because it might affect their state of mind instead.

And if they were to take things for granted during their own advancement, they were basically putting themselves on the risk.

"You have reached the peak of rank 6," Samuel whispered in a low voice.

Since Riya's physical state had reached the condition and her mind had long reached the condition to enter rank 7… why should she hold back?

So Riya came here not only because she wanted to let him manage his affairs first but also to reserve a venue for her advancement to rank 7.

Because of the commotion caused by a person's advancement to rank 7… it was definitely not a good thing. Only other returnees knew how much danger a person would have when they advanced to rank 7.

Samuel looked at these formations.

"I guess if I dare to enter, I'll die, am I right?" Samuel continued, his voice was calm.

Riya finally stopped drawing and raised her head to look in Samuel's direction. There was a faint smile on her lips as she said, "Even if I trust you to a certain degree, I can't let you truly by my side at this point."

The ceremony is extremely important for any profession.

Because this is the formation that would determine whether they could reach the peak or not.

No matter how much they trusted someone, they would not allow them to stay with them so closely and gave them a chance to interrupt the ceremony. If they failed, it would be something that they would regret for the rest of their lives.

And their lifespan after becoming a rank 6 was no longer as short as they used to be.

For so many years, they would regret this one decision…

It was not worth it.

Rather than putting the trust bet on such a matter, it would be better to keep their own guard up and didn't give him the chance from the very beginning.

"I understand." Samuel nodded and leaned against the door with his arm crossed. He didn't walk into the room and instead watched Riya from outside.

As someone who had experienced the rank 7 advancement ceremony before, Samuel naturally understood why Riya was so cautious. Even he himself would not let others stay close so easily around him when he advanced to rank 7.

Even though his means were different from Riya, but there was still some similarities.

For example, finding a secluded place.

Secondly, arrange traps and so on.

In this way, those who wanted to get close to him would not be able to come and take advantage of the situation.

"Sorry." Riya showed an apologetic smile and then added, "And thank you."

After that, Riya turned around and continued to draw the formation on the ground. It was almost done and Riya was basically using the highest ranked magic beasts' blood that she could use.

The rank 7 magic beasts' blood coupled with rank 6 magic beasts' blood.

These magic beasts' blood was extremely precious because there were not many magic beasts rank 7 that she and Samuel hunted over the years.

But this was also the best material for her advancement.

After all, Riya knew very well that the large amount of mana that she needed for her advancement couldn't be supported by lower ranked magic beasts' blood. The purity and the mana that could be driven by rank 7 magic beasts' blood was several times that of lower ranked magic beasts' blood.

It was precisely because it was really precious that Riya knew that she only had one chance.

If she failed this time, she would have to take a long time to make the preparation for the second one.
