Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: Beast Tide
Mr. Jones ignored Mr. Black and quickly gave order to start shooting and adjusted the weapons.

The General waved his hand to let the people hold Mr. Black.

It was clear that he would not let Mr. Black off so easily for letting his men die. But the situation right now was not suitable to deal with Mr. Black.

The only thing he could do was to lock Mr. Black first and then deal with him later.

“Move the supplies away!”

“Yes!”

The soldiers quickly replaced the tires and then drove the truck away. These had to be sorted and split with Mr. Jones but that was for later.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Series of gunshots continued and many soldiers started to open fire. Those on top of the wall could clearly see these magic beasts rushing in their direction.

Their expression turned dark, but their hands didn’t stop.

At this point, many of them were only magic warrior rank 1 or even hadn’t reached rank 1. So while their physical strength had increased to a certain degree, their mana couldn’t really protect them that much.

They could only rely on the guns to have advantage against the magic beasts.

And this advantage was not that big.

Thankfully, unranked magic beasts and rank 1 magic beasts were still easy to deal with as long as they could accurately hit their weak points or vital points. Because the skins of these magic beasts were not bulletproof.

Peng!

Peter looked at the magic beast that swoop down towards him and frowned. “There are aerial magic beasts. How do you plan to cope up with them?”

Samuel opened his eyes and looked at these flying magic beasts with a faint frown. “It’s a mix of rank 1 and rank 2…”

Rank 1 could still be dealt with by the guns but rank 2 might not be dealt easily.

“Hey, you haven’t…”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Seeing several aerial magic beasts fell down, Peter was stunned and then looked at the back. There was a tall building there, which was said to be an apartment or other office buildings. At this moment, there were several people located at the rooftop and also the highest floors.

These buildings were modified and built higher by Samuel after he faced Murin’s threat.

After all, the bird that followed Murin would not be the first and last flying magic beast. Rather than taking beating passively, it would be better for them to take measure to a certain degree.

“Sniper rifle?” Peter asked.

“Yes. One of the newest version,” Samuel replied lightly.

Peter nodded. He didn’t understand weapon that much because he didn’t use them, but he knew that sniper rifle was relatively powerful.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

As more and more flying beast fell down, Samuel noticed that some of them didn’t die even after being hit once. These were the rank 2 magic beasts that had become more powerful.

It seemed that human’s weapon had to be upgraded or they would never be able to deal with the magic beasts.

How troublesome.

Swish! Slash!

With that, Samuel slashed to the sky and these rank 2 magic beasts fell down easily.

Peter saw this scene with envy in his eyes.

“How nice would it be if I can have long ranged attack.”

His attacks were all mostly at close range and Peter hoped that he would be able to get stronger faster. Because in the future, the various use of their aura would make up for his current weakness.

But for now, he could only attack in close range.

When Peter thought about it, he looked at the few magic beasts that climbed up the wall and there was a bright smile on his face.

“Are you ready for a battle?”

Swish! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several magic beasts that climbed up the wall were thrown far away, falling among the magic beasts’ horde. Some of them died in the first hit and some others were barely alive but then got trampled to death by the other magic beasts.

It was very chaotic.

*roar*

Samuel saw Peter’s action and nodded his head, feeling that it was not bad.

“Don’t waste your stamina too much. The real battle hadn’t arrived yet,” Samuel said as he looked into the distance.

There were more powerful magic beasts at the rear, waiting to exhaust their strength before they came towards them.

Peter frowned when he heard this. “How powerful?”

“Rank 3 or perhaps rank 4,” Samuel replied. “I don’t know for sure.”

He couldn’t really detect the strength of the magic beasts at the rear, but he knew that it was more powerful than these magic beasts in front of him. These at the forefront were only unranked, rank 1, and rank 2 magic beasts. Even the number of rank 2 magic beasts were only a few.

At least, for the time being.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of gunshots basically covered most of the areas. The only time they stopped was when they had to get more bullets for the guns.

Samuel basically didn’t pay much attention to it.

His eyes were on these flying magic beasts above them.

It was harder to deal with flying magic beasts.

“Rank 2 magic beasts are bullet proof?” Peter asked.

“Unless you’re aiming at their weakness, many of them can’t be defeated by bullets alone,” Samuel replied calmly. “It’s the same as humans. When you reach rank 2, ordinary bullet can only cause superficial wounds on your body.”

Peter looked at Samuel speechlessly. “Don’t tell me that you tried it on your own body.”

Samuel didn’t answer.

And at this moment, they heard music from the side.

Uh… music?

Many people’s head turned to one of the walls and saw several people from the Magic Association there raising their staff and then…

“Ole, ole, ole, it’s time to watch the powerful magic from the element of fire. La la la la~ Let the fire burn the enemies in front us! We’re the most powerful!”

Boom!
