Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Magic Cores’ Runes (2)
“The power of lightning attack from the first rank magic core is not very strong,” Samuel said slowly. “Against ordinary people, you can still win with it. But if you face the more powerful magic beasts or magic warriors, you won’t be able to do anything to them with the power of this magic core.”

The power from a rank 1 magic core was limited. Rather than using them to make weapon, it would be more cost effective to use it for something else.

In that world, there was no electricity concept.

But they could use electricity for various other things, which was why the runes existed and also brought many conveniences for them.

“Then if there’s a rank 2 magic core in the future, I’ll reserve this request!” Amelia immediately said.

Samuel thought about the power of a rank 2 magic core and then turned to look at Riya. “Can your runes handle the power of a rank 2 magic core?”

Riya looked at Samuel quietly.

She had reached rank 4 and any magic core below this rank was nothing to her. Even rank 4 magic cores could be carved with runes by Riya if she wanted to. As for rank 5 magic core, she would have to be more careful until she reached rank 5 where her mana amount would be enough for it.

“Runes carving depends on the rune master’s rank,” Riya said slowly.

In other words, if they wanted her to make runes on a second rank magic core, she had to reach rank 2 first.

Samuel nodded. “If you need training resources, you can say.”

“You can’t provide it.” Riya shook her head.

What she needed was nothing more than these magic stones used for making formations and other things. These things were not something that Samuel could possibly provide, so Riya would not ask for these.

Hearing this, Samuel arched his eyebrows. He smiled faintly. “You can try to ask.”

Riya raised her head and saw Samuel’s look. For some reasons, she felt that he was being provoked and was eager to show off his ability.

She blinked her eyes.

For a mature person like Samuel, it shouldn’t be, right?

Besides, she didn’t mean to provoke him and only stated a fact.

While Riya was not sure, Amelia interjected, “What’s your rank now, Riya?”

“I’m not sure, depends on how your ranking is,” Riya replied. She guessed that there would be some changes in the standard considering how these people who worked with the military were all warriors and magic warrior.

Were there any pure mage?

She was not sure.

Samuel glanced at Riya once more before picking up the magic core and stood up. “Go with Amelia to the canteen to deliver the water element magic core. You’re free to do whatever you want during this period of time. Tomorrow, we’ll depart.”

“Ok.”

“Yes.”

The two girls were obedient and after Samuel left, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Riya and grinned. “The specific strength of these warriors were still under discussion but the martial arts association had their standard. Do you want to take a look?”

“Uh… probably not?” Riya was not sure.

She had used her mana to strengthen her physique to a certain degree, but it was still far from the improvement brought by real physical practice. Riya knew very well that while she didn’t lack experience, her current body’s reaction might not keep up with the speed in her brain.

After all, this body hadn’t truly experienced close combat battle that often.

In that crack, Riya didn’t dare to take a risk to fight in close distant with these magic beasts. If she got injured, it would be difficult for her to continue her exploration.

No one would take care of her if she got injured too.

This was one of the disadvantage of a loner mages, magic warrior, or even warrior. They had to do everything on their own and if they got injured, there was a great risk of them dying on the spot or something like that.

For Riya, as long as she kept on using the magic runes and didn’t overdo it, she would be fine.

As for close combat?

Riya had low confidence in herself.

“Why not?” Amelia looked at Riya in confusion. “You’re also a magic warrior, right?”

Riya was silent.

She’s not really a magic warrior but more like pure mage. The physical strength strengthening from mana was limited and couldn’t really challenge pure warrior. The main reason why she used her mana to strengthen her physique was simply to cover up her weakness in physical strength.

“The inheritance stated that I’m a mage instead of magic warrior,” RIya finally said.

Amelia nodded and then frowned. “But then, how to test your strength?”

Riya smiled and didn’t answer.

The focus for magic warriors and mages were different.

“Shall we go and deliver the water first?”

“Ah, right. Come with me.”

After they came out of the room, Riya saw the researchers were crowding Samuel and the magic cores. Seeing their fervent gaze as if they were looking at the greatest treasure in the world, Riya suddenly shivered.

If they knew that she was the one who made it, would they also want to study her?

To prevent such a thing, Riya decided not to come here again anytime soon.

She and Amelia ran out of the research institute and then Amelia started to tell the few things in the base. The base itself was separated to two main locations, which was the villas areas, which would become the core area, and the areas surrounding it, which would be the outer area. Because of the limitation of people and resources, they had only developed half of it by now and also built a lot things.

The canteen that Samuel asked Amelia to go to naturally the one that belonged to the core area. The water was transformed from mana directly, which was very pure.

It would be better to keep it for their internal consumption.
