Runemaster in the Last Days

Riya felt that there was something wrong with her conclusion, but she couldn't think of anything more.

There seemed to be something illusory that existed.

It just she didn't seem to be able to grasp it.

Riya shook her head and choose to quickly recover her mana and let the world nourished her soul. The pain had completely disappeared, but Riya still didn't dare to use her mana in fear that she would accidentally hurt her soul again.

'But that pain is not the pain of having my soul torn apart… but rather the world's soul was damaged slightly.'

The connection allowed her to know that the world was hurt, which transferred the pain.

But when Riya checked herself, she realized that she was not hurt in the slightest bit. The world was the one that got hurt due to their connection.

"When I reach rank 7, I'll build the best soul formation," Riya muttered in a low breath.

She calmed herself down and then focused on recovering. Within a few more months, she should be able to collect the other rank 6 special magic core and if her estimation was correct, she should be able to reach rank 6 late stage.

After that, she had to rely on herself to reach the peak and prepare for the promotion ritual to reach rank 7.

There were still many things that she had to do.

Samuel was sitting on the side, silently recovering his mana and physical strength. Even though the Ghost Transformed Beast was mainly attacking his soul, but he still felt tired physically.

"Thank you," Samuel whispered in a low voice as he patted the sword in his hand.

Without the sword and the soul shield, Samuel didn't know what would happen to him.

The soul attack was something that rank 6 magician, magic warriors, or even warriors couldn't contend against.

The Ghost Transformed Beast was one of the most dangerous opponent for them at this stage.

Buzz!

The sword moved away from Samuel before hitting his arm.

"I know… we're a bit too arrogant lately," Samuel replied with a sigh. Since they never met with powerful rank 7 magic beast that they couldn't handle, the two of them didn't seem to have the same caution when they were exploring the crack.

While exploring the crack, they would still avoid the places where powerful rank 7 magic beasts were located, but they forgot that there were also some rank 7 magic beasts that could hide their presence.

This caused them to be unable to react when the rank 7 Ghost Transformed Beast came.

The sense of danger still allowed them to react in time but if they had been more careful, the rank 7 Ghost Transformed Beast wouldn't have been able to come so close to them.

Buzz

The sword moved again.

"I know, I'll find more treasure to let you recover as fast as possible," Samuel said in soothing voice.

As he was thinking about it, he turned his head to look in Riya's direction.

The soul shield that Riya made should have been the highest ranked soul type defense formation that she could make. But the last attack from the Ghost Transformed Beast still managed to shatter it into pieces.

At that moment, Samuel could clearly felt that the impact of the attack of a rank 7 magic beast was above what their body could tolerate.

They had indeed reached rank 7 in that world.

But right now, they were still too weak.

Exploring the crack was for the sake of recovering their strength at the fastest speed possible. But at the same time, they were exposing themselves to the danger that might come to them at any time.

Powerful rank 7 magic beasts were around and if they were not careful enough, they might bumped onto them.

It's dangerous.

Yet at the same time, Samuel didn't want to back down.

Buzz

The sword buzzed as if responding to Samuel.

'Riya…' Samuel whispered the woman's name in his heart and turned to look at Riya, who was sitting peacefully to meditate. He knew that she had to recover her strength at the fastest speed possible and wanted to speak more but in the end, all words were swallowed back to his throat.

Her decision to give that shield to him nearly caused him heart attack.

Because Samuel knew very well how selfish everyone is. When facing with the option whether to save one's life or save other people's lives, how many of them could decisively save others?

Even Samuel himself couldn't do it.

Only if the people whom he wanted to save were his family members that he might hesitate. Depending on the situation, he would prioritize them as he could protect himself.

And in that decisive moment where they only have seconds to decide, Riya decisively gave the soul shield formation to him.

Both of them understood the danger of soul attack better than anyone.

They knew very well that any damage to their soul might shatter their livelong dream without any chance of recovery. So as much as possible, neither of them were willing to come close to that rank 7 Ghost Transformed Beast.

And any kinds of means that could protect their should were extremely precious.

So why?

Why did she choose to give it to him from the first and might be the only chance?

Samuel wanted to open his mouth and ask, yet at the same time he was worried that he was thinking too much.

'No… not yet.'

Samuel took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

Buzz

The sword looked confused.

"It's fine." Samuel only smiled and then closed his eyes to meditate.

Neither of the two were injured and they only needed to recover their mana. Their own treasure has some damage but it was all superficial and what they needed was to find some treasure to recover it.

In this way, when the two of them had finished recovering their mana, they quickly set off and explored the crack again.
