Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 156

Chapter 156: Mana Control
“Yes, I want to see the power of the defensive counterattack shield,” Amelia said solemnly. She knew very well that her strength was far from strong, but she didn’t want to give up so easily.

Since Riya could give such evaluation, then she might be able to help her.

Riya sighed and took out a piece of jade from her world. She used her runes and quickly formed a critical defense talisman. This talisman would only activate when Amelia’s life was in danger and protect her at the critical time.

After it was done, Riya threw the jade to Amelia.

“This is a critical defense talisman. Keep it close with you and if you find it difficult to carry a piece of jade every day, you can ask your brother to make some rope on top of it. I leave a small holes in case you want to do that.”

Amelia looked at the jade in front of her. The jade had been polished and it looked flat. During her free time, Riya had cut those jade that she had obtained before. She hadn’t drawn all of them and only some of them, so when she wanted to draw one, she could just take some of the jade that she had cut before.

“It’ll protect me?” Amelia asked curiously.

“Only if your life is in danger. Otherwise, you have to solve your own problem,” Riya replied. She didn’t want to let Amelia be complacent just because there was a talisman that could protect her when she was in danger. It was only the last resort and in ordinary times, Amelia would have to protect herself.

“Ok.” Amelia nodded with a grin.

“It can only block 3 attacks at most.” Riya shook her head. “Once the light is dim, you have to come to me and I’ll repair it.”

“Yes! You’re the best, Riya~.”

“Tsk, you just want to take advantage of me.”

“Hahaha!”

Riya smiled faintly and raised her hand. “You better activate your counterattack shield first.”

“Huh?” Amelia tilted her head and then agreed. Even though her own activation speed was actually very fast to the point that she could block a bullet, but Amelia still listened to Riya. She was sure that Riya had the reason why she had to do this.

Swish!

Seeing the shield active, Riya nodded and raised her hand.

Runes circle formed in the air and the next moment, an arrow came towards Amelia.

Swish!

It bypassed Amelia’s head and the entire shield shattered. The arrow continued until it stuck on the three behind them and then dissipated into nothingness.

Amelia stood still, unable to react in time.

She slowly turned her head just in time to see the arrow disappeared.

Because elemental arrow were formed by mana, they would disappear after a while once the spell was over. For higher ranked magic spells, the elemental form from their mana could last for years.

But for a simple rank 1 spell…

There was no way.

They would dissipate in just a few moments after the spells were over.

“That’s…” Amelia swallows her saliva.

“That’s a normal rank 1 mage’s attack,” Riya replied calmly. She had suppressed her strength as much as possible, but it was still far more powerful than Amelia. To be honest, it was not difficult for Riya to be better when she was rank 1 but there was no need to tell that to Amelia.

This should be the standard strength of a normal rank 1 mage.

As long as Amelia could block it, she would be able to deal with those unranked magic beasts with ease and could fight against rank 1 magic beasts.

In this way, Amelia’s safety would be higher.

“No way. Mage is so powerful?” Amelia asked in disbelief.

Riya looked at Amelia silently. “That’s… only around 70% of your brother’s attack?”

Amelia: “…”

To be honest, rune master has never been the profession with the highest attack magic. The main reason why Riya’s attack could be powerful was because she had practiced for a long period of time.

There were also spell caster who specially learned attack magic and their attack power was indeed comparable to weapon master magic warrior like Samuel.

But Riya didn’t take this path.

Moreover, those spell casters usually need to chant for a long time. The longer the chant, the more powerful the magic attack that they could use.

So if Riya had to compare the attack that she just used with Samuel…

There was simply no comparison.

At the highest attack power, Riya felt that she could only reach 90% of Samuel’s attack power and couldn’t go any higher.

But this was enough for her to deal with most magic beasts and other magic warriors.

“Don’t compare with him. He’s a monster.” Amelia looked at Riya helplessly.

“Alright.” Riya smiled back. “Let’s concentrate on increasing your mana control first. It’ll help you when you use your magic spells.”

“How?” Amelia looked at Riya curiously. Her brother didn’t teach them much about mana control training.

“Here.” Riya calmly grabbed a few leaves and then these leaves started to float on her hand. “This is the first step of training for wind element mage. As long as you can learn to control your wind and lift some light items on your hands stably for a long period of time, it means you have passed.”

Amelia looked at Riya’s easy way and took a few leaves. But when she used her wind to lift them up, she realized that this was more difficult than it look.

The leaves swayed left and right, some were higher than the others.

This made Amelia a bit flustered.

Riya chuckled. “Take your time. Not everyone can learn to do this instantly.”

“How long did you practice in the first place?” Amelia was suspicious as she tried to control these leaves.

“Me?” Riya looked at Amelia a bit strangely. “Well… a few minutes?”

To be honest, she succeeded in one go because her mana control was very strong. But Riya didn’t dare to say this to Amelia or she might dampen the other party’s confidence.
