Runemaster in the Last Days

Samuel arched his eyebrows.

"You don't seem to be the type that attract hatred."

And not many people would be willing to offend a powerful rune master. Even if Riya might be only a rank 7 rune master in that world, but Samuel knew this very clearly.

That there would be no way Riya could offend them so easily.

"Ah… it's a battle of life and death." Riya shrugged. "There can be only one person who survive and there are hundreds of people there. There's a space lock that prevent me from using teleportation formation and then there's a time treasure that prevent me from forming runes…"

If Riya had to say, the situation at that time was really miserable.

She was attacked from all sides and those people were using various treasures that wanted Riya wanted to vomit blood.

Space lock, time lock…

Samuel heard these two types of treasures and fell into silence.

If he was not wrong, even his family would not use that kind of treasure easily because it cost a lot to use even once.

Moreover….

"Did you face opponents higher than rank 7?"

"Yeah," Riya replied. "Opponents of the same ranks will never be able to beat me… I think that it's the same for you."

Samuel nodded weakly.

Facing against rank 8 and rank 9 magic beasts at large number, Samuel could only try his best to fight until the very end. He did everything possible to save his life, but when he saw the fortress destroyed… he knew that there was no chance for him to go back.

Then he simply went all out and killed as many magic beasts as possible.

"But for the magicians to fight against themselves before the great magic beasts' tide, they might face great punishment." Samuel thought about something else.

"Ah?" Riya blinked her eyes and then tilted her head. "I don't think that they can bear any punishment when they're half dead. I basically self destruct at the last moment to kill as many opponents as possible."

Samuel was silent.

The two of them looked at each other and the look in their eyes were surprisingly similar.

Because if they were truly forced to the dead end, what they would do was to fight until the very end even if it meant their own destruction.

"Self destruct should have also destroyed your soul," Samuel suddenly said.

"I know. That's why it's strange." Riya chuckled. "I believed that I have died in that world and when I come back to this world… there are times when I thought I was dreaming."

Dreaming of going back to that fateful moment when she should have died.

But there wouldn't be anyone who would want to weave such a realistic dream for her and Riya knew this very well. So she didn't think that she was still dreaming right now.

"Right." Samuel chuckled.

It was the same for him.

He also thought that he had died… many times he thought that it was that way in the beginning. Until he accepted everything and then simply strived to become stronger and reach the rank he used to have.

"Let's go, there are more magic beasts in front of us," Riya said as she sensed magic beasts coming.

"Ok."

Samuel smiled.

For the next few months, they will stay in this crack and continued their battle.

…

City I Base

Arnold and Amelia told the others about what had happened when they gathered for dinner. After all, everyone had their own activity and it was impossible for them to stay together at all times.

Night time was basically the best chance for them to gather and shared the information they had received during the day.

Well, it was also time for them to relax.

After all, they were tired after such a long time fighting, training, or others during the day.

"Your former enemy is coming?" Ruben frowned when he heard Arnold's words. He knew what Arnold has been doing over the years.

Unlike Samuel who was busy with business and Ruben who was busy with his work as an architect and also Samuel's assistant, Arnold's profession was a bit dangerous. Stephen was also a businessman and didn't touch anything dangerous or strange.

Sean looked at his sister. "Sister, are you alright?"

"What can happen to me?" Amelia rolled her eyes. "I'm already a rank 4 magic warrior and those people can't do anything to me."

It was nothing more than bullets and the power of these bullets could only deal with rank 2 magic beasts at most. With her own physique, Amelia could easily deal with these people who tried to shoot her.

"It's a bit dangerous." Stephen rubbed his chin. "Do you want me to try looking up for their information?"

As a businessman, Stephen was proficient in using various resources to get what he wanted. While the resources he could mobilize now was limited, he still has his own way to get information that he needed.

"Can you do it?" Arnold asked with a frown.

"It's easy, but you might need to pay with some magic cores," Stephen replied.

One of the most valuable resources in the current era was naturally magic cores. There were many people who could get magic cores but not all of them were qualified to get it.

These magic cores could also help many magicians and magic warriors to practice, so their price had increased again and again.

Stephen still paid attention to this matter and if it was possible, he would sell the excess that he had.

After all, there were some elements that they didn't need.

As for why he didn't use the official exchange, it was because he wanted to look for connection and also figure out the current market.

"Sure," Arnold replied with a grin.

"Then I'll give the information to you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Sophia looked at her brother in surprise. "Have you build a connection here, Brother?"

The others also looked over curiously.
