Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Battle with Peter (2)

Riya and Ruben quickly leapt back when they saw Peter attacking Samuel without waiting for any instruction.

But considering that no enemy would warn their opponent when they were about to attack…

It was obvious that these two people treated this spar like a real battle.

And Samuel was also fast.

Clang!

The sword was unsheathed and blocked Peter’s punch.

“Tsk, your reaction speed is still as good as ever.” Peter clicked his tongue. He thought that he could finally catch Samuel off guard, but this man was too fast.

Samuel looked at Peter calmly. “And you’re as rude as ever.”

In their battle in that world, Peter also tried to catch Samuel off guard through attacking the moment the referee said start. It was clear that Peter always tried his best to win at the fastest speed possible.

Because many of these geniuses would have the upper hand once the battle prolonged.

Though, if he was fighting against other pure warriors, Peter would instead prolong the battle because he had the confidence in his own stamina.

Swish! Bang! Bang!

Without replying, Peter dashed forward and bombarded Samuel with punches after punches. Other people who watched from the side could only see the afterimages of Peter’s move.

“So fast.” Ruben swallowed his saliva, feeling a bit terrified.

Riya narrowed her eyes as she watched these two people’s battle. She could see that the two of them hadn’t given their best yet and only tested the reaction speed and power of the other party.

But even then, these two people’s basic foundation was not something that other people could touch lightly.

‘They’re both at rank 4… and almost reaching rank 5 too.’

At this moment, Riya suspected that these two people had conditioned their bodies through using some valuable medicine. There were some formulas that could help them to get stronger quickly and also alleviate their muscle through the medicinal bath.

Unfortunately, Riya knew nothing about it.

After all, she was not suitable to be a warrior and researching these things were nothing more than a waste of time.

It would be better for her to continue researching and learning more formations and runes.

Swish! Bang!

After another punch, Peter leapt back and looked at Samuel with a grin. “It seems that your physical strength is really strong. And that sword… did you meet any blacksmith or weapon maker?”

He could sense that the sword Samuel used was much stronger than many other metals. After all, his own attack could destroy many other metals.

“This is a special sword I customized.” Samuel shook his head.

If there was anyone who could make tools near him, he would have long recruited the other party into his team.

Unfortunately, he was not lucky enough to find anyone like that.

Even the rune master could only be found because she was his sister’s friends.

Otherwise…

Samuel had no idea when he would be able to find Riya. Because if Riya truly wanted to, she could hide her ability completely and blended to live like an ordinary people. At that time, it would have been impossible to find her.

“Anyway, it’s time to get serious.” Peter took a deep breath and faint aura started to emerge around his body, enveloping him in a dark red color.

At the same time, the pressure around Peter also turned higher, threatening others around him.

Samuel pointed his sword to the side and similar faint aura also emerged from him. But different from Peter’s dark red color, Samuel’s aura was yellow in color with a hint of purple around it.

Seeing these two people had started to use their aura, Riya didn’t hesitate and jumped back a few more meters. She knew very well that the spectators here were not protected and if they were too close, they might die because of the aftermath.

Ruben saw this and didn’t hesitate to run after Riya.

He didn’t dare to be so close either.

Swish!

“Rapid punches!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Peter’s attack was even faster than before and he punched Samuel from all side, using his footwork to circle around Samuel to avoid Samuel’s counterattack and reacting to his movement.

Samuel’s sword kept on responding, blocking every attack from Peter, no matter which side he attacked him from.

The two people’s aura clashed.

“It’s time…. Lightning sword!”

Bang!

“Damn it!” Peter jumped back and rubbed his hand that had turned red. He looked at the lightning around Samuel’s sword with indignation.

Coating one’s sword with the element was a rank 2 magic warrior’s move. This could only be done after they reached rank 2 or above to make sure they have enough mana to support this move.

And it was also their basic protection.

With Samuel being rank 4… the lightning was simply too destructive for the ordinary aura around Peter to block it.

“Your element is simply too destructive,” Peter said bitterly.

“If you don’t make any move, I’ll attack again,” Samuel said calmly.

From the beginning to the end, he could read Peter’s attack trajectory and responded in the way that would least consume his strength.

This was his confidence.

Many battles didn’t require fancy moves but just the simplest and most efficient move. Because in this way, it meant that they had completely read the opponent and be prepared to face their attacks and counterattacks.

“Tsk.” Peter took a deep breath and gathered his aura.

He felt that he was too hasty.

He should have waited until they reached rank 5 before challenging Samuel. Because at rank 5, he would have stronger moves and stronger body.

‘His fighting instinct is really strong.’

Riya watched from the side and nodded to herself.

She had seen Samuel’s battle when they explored the crack back then, but their opponents were nothing more than rank 3 or below magic beasts. These magic beasts could be killed in one move, which would not reflect their real strength at all.

Even though the two of them looked relatively equal, it was mostly because they didn’t take these magic beasts seriously.
