Runemaster in the Last Days

SWOOSH!

The flash of light passed by and Samuel's heart was on his throat.

Soul attack.

It was a completely different kind of attack and also one of the most dangerous type of attack. Because if any of them failed to resist the attack, it was not impossible for them to turn into a fools.

And there was a magician who specialized in soul, named soul magician.

Soul magicians were relatively weaker in the early stage because their own soul was weak and they couldn't really attack others. But their training focused on enhancing their mental strength, slowly but surely to surpass other magicians.

Many magicians have strong mental strength but they were nothing compared to the soul magician.

At the same time, the soul magician has one great weakness.

Their physical strength was definitely the weakest among all of them.

"Riya!"

"I'm fine!" Riya replied and moved away from her position. Her eyes were locked onto the white and black figure that was floating in front of her. "It's a rank 7 Ghost Transformed Beast."

Ghost Transformed Beast was a special kind of magic beasts. This magic beast has dark element and upon reaching rank 7, their soul would be sublimated to the point that their own body would no longer have any physical entity.

If one wanted to deal with a Ghost Transformed Beast, they had to use either light element or soul attack.

Moreover, because it was in the form of soul, many types of attack would not be able to hit it and various defenses were useless. The Protective Rune Circle has a certain degree resistance towards soul attack but it was still fairly weak.

Riya is only a rank 6 rune master.

If she really wanted to face a rank 7 Ghost Transformed Beast, her current strength was definitely far from enough.

"Tsk…" Samuel gritted his teeth and lightning element enveloped his body. Even though the lightning element was not the best element against Ghost Transformed Beast, it could resist the Ghost Transformed Beast to a certain degree.

"Don't get close to it!"

Swish!

The Ghost Transformed Beast moved once more, as fast as light, towards Samuel.

He could only kick the ground and slashed upon the Ghost Transformed Beast while moving his body away.

The most difficult thing to do when facing the Ghost Transformed Beast was that they could not touch the Ghost Transformed Beast's body in the slightest bit. Because the touch might harm their own soul.

Any magician, magic warriors, and warriors under rank 7 were weak against soul attack.

This include soul magician.

Even though soul magician should have the strongest soul, but their methods of attack was relatively similar to magician in the early stage. Because they could not touch upon the power of their soul yet.

Unless they used some kind of forbidden technique to forcefully raise their soul power, these soul magicians could not use their soul power recklessly.

But a rank 7 Ghost Transformed Beast could do it.

After failed to get Samuel, the Ghost Transformed Beast moved away once more. At this moment, a melodious sound rang and the Ghost Transformed Beast sensed danger and rushed over to Riya.

"I'm the messenger of light, borrowing the healing power to treat and expel the impurities in front of me. Lend me your light, purification."

As Riya moved away, she continued her chants.

The purification magic spell was definitely not the strongest light elemental magic spell that she knew, but it was the only magic spell that could be casted in wide range.

In other words, it could create protection for both of them for a period of time where the Ghost Transformed Beast wouldn't be able to get close.

Swish!

After dodging the Ghost Transformed Beast, the magic spell was casted and light spread out with Riya at the center.

Her hands quickly moved and runes were formed at extremely fast speed. Her expression was tense and Riya was basically racing against time.

The purification magic spell wouldn't last long and she had to create sufficient defense against the Ghost Transformed Beast during this period of time.

This is not easy.

Not far from her, Samuel was also accumulating his mana. He knew that the purification magic spell would only stop the Ghost Transformed Beast for a few seconds at best and even then they had to be prepared to be attacked.

Because the purification magic spell was not an attack magic spell.

At most, it could only hinder the Ghost Transformed Beast.

When it knew that this spell couldn't harm it, the Ghost Transformed Beast would definitely come closer towards them.

This is a bet.

But, isn't it fun to bet on their lives like this?

The corner of Samuel's lips curled up slightly, a hint of madness appeared within his eyes. He had fought on the frontline for a long time, betting his life to fight against countless magic beasts. This is just one of them and he's excited.

The Ghost Transformed Beast hovered around the areas, looking towards the two nasty people below. It wanted to get close but the light that surrounded these two people made it uneasy.

As the light dimmed, the Ghost Transformed Beast saw that Riya had already formed shield in front of her.

Beads of sweat poured on her forehead and Riya's expression was not very good. She was using a large amount of mana to make this shield.

'It's a rank 6 formation after all…'

Even though Riya had already absorbed that special magic core, she still couldn't make too many rank 6 formation. At most two before her mana bottomed out. Considering that she had already used her mana and runes for other things, she could only make one.

"Samuel!" Riya called out and then added, "Don't resist!"

Samuel was still accumulating power when he sensed something came to him. His instinct was to resist but the next moment, he calmed down and let the runes seep into his body.

His sword suddenly trembled and Samuel's expression changed.
