Runemaster in the Last Days

A large explosion took place on the street.

Many people heard it but no one came any closer.

In this chaotic world, they have already seen various battles that occurred every single day. Even if they wanted to care, they didn't have the energy to do so. The most important thing for them was their own survival.

Other things were not as important.

"Arnold! Amelia!"

Bang!

Sean kicked off the bodyguard from the tall building and looked down at the explosion in the distance. Thinking that he himself was weaker than these two people, he restrained his impulse of getting over to help them and continued to climb up.

The sniper was still there and after this one, he still has the second sniper to deal with.

Damn it!

Bang! Bang!

The moment the door opened, the man quickly shoot Sean, but the other party dodged immediately. Bullet was indeed fast but compared to some magic beasts that could attack at sound speed… it was really nothing much.

Having fought with many magic beasts, Sean's past experience came handy at this moment. He saw the man in front of him and quickly raised his hand to use the magic spell that Samuel taught him.

Bang! Bang!

Series of explosion followed.

While Sean was busy on the room where the sniper was located, Amelia looked around her and quickly called out, "Arnold! Where are you?!"

*cough*

"I'm over here." Arnold waved his hand, a transparent shield was formed around him, protecting his body when the explosion happened. Even though his current situation was not very good, but it was not the worst situation.

He reacted in time and made a shield to protect himself, saving himself from the worst situation where he might die at any time.

Still, it was not really a good feeling to be so close to the explosion site.

"Do you know that they're trying to lure us here?" Amelia asked, her tone was really angry. At the last moment before there was an explosion, she had the feeling that these two snipers were not trying to kill them but to lure them somewhere.

After the explosion happened, she was sure of this guest.

"Ah, I know," Arnold replied and then looked at the distance. "And he's also here to greet us."

Amelia's expressions changed and she quickly raised the sword in her hand, ready to attack when it was necessary.

Not far from them, on top of a two story building, a group of people were standing. There was a small platform in front of them that could help cover their bodies in case someone wanted to shoot them, but the two people could still see them clearly.

"That's.."

"Yer," Arnold replied. "He likes to set up trap to bomb his target, so I come into his trap on purpose."

"Why?"

"Because this is the only chance for me to see him," Arnold replied.

In the past, Yer would use live broadcast method to watch his work from a distance, keeping a safe distance from the site in fear that he would be accidentally implicated. But right now, the life broadcast was not so easy to do.

While internet could be used again through the use of the satellite and so on, but the live broadcast was limited for the government and the officials for the time being. They couldn't let ordinary people use the live broadcast function yet.

Of course, they could still upload video and watched them.

But no live broadcast aside from the officials.

Knowing this, Arnold decided to take a bet by following the trap that Yer had set up so that he could see the other party.

"Then…"

"I'll deal with him." Arnold narrowed his eyes. "He's also a magic warrior rank 4."

"Huh?" Amelia was stunned, but Arnold had already dashed forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The other people around Yer tried to shoot Arnold, but he avoided all of them.

Yer looked at this mess and snorted. "Guns and the likes wouldn't work anymore against people like us. You deal with that woman and I'll deal with him."

"Yes!"

Swish! Bang!

Mana surged on the two people and what followed was loud explosion from their clash.

Amelia ran from the other side, keeping her distance with Arnold and made her way to the building. Seeing these people, there was a faint annoyance within her heart.

The next moment, the mana within her body exploded and she pointed her sword forward.

"I'm the embodiment of wind. Let the sharp wind materialize into my sword and strike the enemy in front of me, rapid wind strike!"

Swish! Slash! Slash!

Countless wind blades appeared in front of Amelia following her sword's movement and headed straight towards the group of people in the distance.

"Ahhh!"

"Gah!"

Thud! Bang!

Some of them died on the spot and some others fell down from the roof.

Amelia took a deep breath and took out the magic scroll that Ruben prepared for them. It was a backup magic scroll in case they ran out of mana. After all, magic warrior's mans was limited and if they were to fight for a long time, there was a great chance that they might run out of mana before the battle was over.

Turning her head to the side, Amelia frowned slightly as she watched the battle between Arnold and Yer.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Heh, you're really lucky, Arnold."

"I can say the same to you, Yer," Arnold replied while parrying the attack from Yer. He could sense that Yer seemed to be trying to fight until the very end. "What do you actually want from me? Your group's development was going well and there's no way you would want to abandon everything just for the sake of petty revenge."

It just doesn't make sense.

"Heh." Yer looked at Arnold in front of him as he held his hand in front of him, "He's coming back."

"Who?"

"The grim reaper… Nicholas Ramsey."

"No way!"

BOOM!
