Runemaster in the Last Days

These people noticed them coming as Kaze was not that quiet.

They immediately raised their weapon.

"Melly!" Sophia yelled.

*Woof!* <leave it to me!>

Melly dashed forward and then the wind picked up before forming a wall in front of them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullet was stopped with the wind wall, unable to move in the slightest bit.

Before these people could react, Stephen had already started chanting.

"I am the woods, the pillar of growth. Let the wood grow even more vigorously and entangle the enemy in front of me, tangled roots."

Swoosh!

The roots from the ground grew rapidly, entangling these people's legs and trapped them in an instant.

"Ahhh!"

"Let me go!"

Stephen didn't stop as he raised his gun and started shooting.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sophia looked at this messy scene in front of her and frowned slightly. She didn't like the fact that they were killing humans instead of magic beasts, but she restrained the disgusts and discomfort in her heart.

No matter what, they knew that it was impossible to keep their hands clean when these people were attacking them like this.

If they wanted to survive, they had to raise their weapon.

Swish!

"It's done," Stephen said and lightly patted Sophia's head. He chose to be the attacker because he knew very well that his sister might not be able to accept that they were attacking humans instead of magic beasts.

Various conflicts had happened all over the world, but most of them were humans against the magic beasts. Even if there were conflicts between humans, only some of them resulted in deaths.

And these happened far away from them.

People in City A Base was too well protected. They might have been exposed to some darkness because it was inevitable but in the end, they were still very restrained due to the rules and regulation in that place.

But over here…

Many people were wiling to kill people for the sake of a small bread or even a glass of water.

Because they wanted to live.

And killing people for the sake of resources was extremely common now.

"I'm fine," Sophia said and pursed her lips.

She did feel discomfort for this matter, but she would not let such a matter stop or hinder her. No matter what, she had promised herself that she would not be the person who will delay the group.

Besides, to an extent, she didn't actually have to do anything herself.

The one who did it were her pets…

They were the one who took her place when taking action against the magic beasts and other people.

Boom!

The loud explosion startled the two of them.

"That's where Arnold is." Stephen frowned.

"Let's go there." Sophia quickly patted Kaze to make it go faster. If Arnold and Amelia were not careful enough, they might be in danger.

…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amidst series of gunshots, Arnold and Amelia were more or less fine. Arnold tossed several bombs to the people who surrounded them, leaving them with either heavy injuries or dead.

After a while, Arnold heaved a sigh of relief. "It's clear."

"Is it over?" Amelia asked, her tone was filled with disbelief.

Was it so easy for them to deal with Yer?

Even though so many people died, it did feel a bit fast.

There was no time for Ruben to make a move. Well, in the first place, Ruben was not suitable for any close combat or anything like that. After all, he was a magician and also a rune master.

He stayed the furthest away from them, monitoring the situation and will help if necessary.

If it was not necessary, Ruben will not come in the slightest bit.

Bang!

A bullet was blocked by the counterattack shield and Amelia frowned as she looked at the distance. "A second sniper?"

"I have never heard of powerful sniper from Yer's group…" Arnold also frowned.

It was not so easy to train a sniper outside the military or some organization. After all, the resources needed to train was huge and they also needed a large area for practice.

Even if some mercenaries were good at sniping, their range was limited.

Arnold recalled the information that Ruben and Stephen had searched and did find that there were some new names. But these two people were unable to make a profile or something like that because the information they could access was limited.

These things might require internet to use and the current database was a bit…

Well, half broken.

The earthquake had destroyed many places and it was unreasonable to hope that many areas were still intact like before.

Swish! Bang!

Another bullet came and this time, it was Arnold who blocked it. He looked at the direction and frowned slightly.

"Come over here."

"Huh?

Amelia felt that Arnold was planning something, but she didn't say anything and continued to run behind the other party.

She took out her phone and called Ruben.

"Do you need me to deal with the second sniper?" Ruben's voice came from the phone first right after it was connected.

"I want to ask you how Sean is."

"He's busy beating up someone. That sniper has a bodyguard protecting him and Sean is fighting against the other party," Ruben replied. "He didn't look like he needs help, though."

Sean was a rank 3 magic warrior.

Unless the opponent was a rank 4 profession, then he should be able to deal with him.

"Ok."

"Do you need me to deal with the second sniper?"

"Are you near?"

"No."

"Then wait."

Amelia then cut off the phone.

Ruben: "…"

He looked at the phone in his hand speechlessly and simply sat down while playing with a few magic scrolls that he had prepared.

Bang!

Another bullet chased behind them and both Arnold and Amelia continued to run across the street. Amelia looked at the route in front of her and yelled, "He's guiding the direction…"

"Get down!"

BOOM!
