Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 144

Chapter 144: Journey
After that, they encountered a few groups of magic beasts while cleaning up the roads. Of course, they would not bother with the road that could still be passable even if there were some debris on the road.

But for the areas that were completely blocked, they would stop for a while and cleaned up these things.

The magic beasts were only addition to be cleaned up.

But for Sean and Amelia, it was time for them to show their abilities and compete!

The end result was that the two siblings were very tired by the time they reached the warehouse areas. The two of them had given up competing because the lack of mana made it very uncomfortable.

“Magic warriors require both mana and physical strength in their attacks. Aside from the fact that your mana is exhausted, your own physical strength has been drained in the previous battles,” Samuel said as he looked at his younger sister.

He felt that these two people could not sense the crisis and only knew how to make trouble with each other. If they were not his younger siblings, he would not want to take care of them at all.

“I know…” Amelia felt the weakness in her body. This made her feel really uncomfortable.

It seemed that she had to train more if she wanted to compete better with her brother. But thinking about the rigid and boring exercise, Amelia really didn’t want to train.

She felt tired just thinking about training.

“Rest and recover your strength first,” Riya said as she patted Amelia’s shoulder. The two girls were sitting on the back seat and Riya silently draw a rune on the back of Amelia to help her recover better.

Riya thought about the other things that she learned but she also knew very well that she didn’t have anything that could recover Amelia’s physical strength instantly. The formation and talisman could only help a little bit.

‘The one who can do it is alchemist.’

But alchemist is a very money burning profession. With her family background back then, RIya would have to bleed a lot if she chose to learn how to become an alchemist. So while Riya did learn how to identify and make some poison, it was still far from what an alchemist could do.

As for formation and talisman masters?

It was also very time consuming and money burning. But compared to alchemist, Riya could still afford it to a certain degree back then

She suffered a lot, though.

After all, she had to scrape in order to get enough resources for her practice.

“I know…” Amelia felt uncomfortable and could only meditate.

Samuel looked at his younger sister and shook his head. He looked at Arnold and said, “I’ll leave my sister here. Please protect her.”

“Yes.”

“Joan and Sean will also stay behind,” Samuel added.

When he asked his younger brother and sister to come with him, Samuel never expected that these two people would be useful. It would be good enough if these two people didn’t hold him back.

As for helping him?

They were not that good.

“Riya, you come with me.”

“Ok.”

Riya walked out and the four people who were left in the car were asked to stay behind. Joan looked at Riya’s back and then glanced at Sean. “Is she your sister in law?”

*cough* *cough*

“What are you saying?” Sean looked at Joan with tears in his eyes. “Don’t speak nonsense or my brother might come to me and beat me up.”

Joan rolled her eyes and patted Sean’s head. What was in this boy’s mind? She felt that her boyfriend was really something to be able to think about various nonsense every single days.

“I’m just curious why she’s allowed to come along with him,” Joan said slowly. She herself had learned to become magic warrior through Samuel’s teaching and by now, she had reached rank 1.

When she saw Sean and Amelia competed against each other, Joan would stay on the back and reserve her strength. If Sean was in trouble, she would step forward and helped him as much as possible.

“She’s pretty strong,” Sean replied.

Thinking about the runes that Riya showed before, Sean felt that Riya should be pretty strong. Otherwise, there was no way that Samuel would bring her out with him.

But Samuel’s strength was not that weak either.

He should have enough confidence to protect Riya.

“Really?” Joan asked in disbelief. After some training, she had built up some muscles but Riya still looked petite and thin. It was hard to believe that such a young girl would be a rank 1 magic warrior too.

“It should be?” Sean said again, his tone was a bit unsure.

When Joan heard what her boyfriend said, she rolled her eyes. “Forget it. Just stay here and meditate. You’re one number below your sister.”

“Ah! Damn it! I have to recover quickly.” When Amelia was mentioned, Sean thought about their competition and chose to recover his mana quickly.

He didn’t want to be left behind by her.

Joan’s lips curled up in amusement and she looked at Arnold. Seeing him signaling her to rest too, she also quickly meditated.

In this way, Arnold was the one keeping guard along with a few more people under Samuel. They were guarding the truck that carried the magic beasts’ blood. The truck has been sealed so that the smell would not attract more magic beasts but just in case, they were still vigilant.

Arnold also heard the conversation between the two people and looked at Riya’s back.

His profession was different from them and when he saw Riya, his instinct told him that this person was dangerous. He was sure that Samuel also sensed it, but he was still staying close to Riya, so it meant that she was not dangerous to them.

Even though Arnold was not sure about Riya’s ability, he believed she could protect herself and would not drag them down.
