Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Encounter with Magic Beast
“There’s a magic beast coming,” RIya warned.

Upon hearing this, the two other girls tensed up and looked to the front. They were still talking and didn’t realize that there was a magic beast coming. This magic beast looked like a tiger but the color was strangely green.

This color made Ruby’s expression changed. “What a strange color.”

“Is that the main point here?” Amelia gritted her teeth.

“I’ll distract it and you attack it when it’s going towards me,” Riya said and grabbed a stone from below.

“Wait, don’t provoke it….”

Swish!

The stone was thrown and the magic beast in front of them avoided it easily. The stone that Riya threw was not imbued with magic and looked really ordinary.

*grrr*

The magic beast then rushed towards Riya.

As the magic beast was getting closer, Amelia moved forward and swung her sword.

Slash!

The attack hit and the magic beast retreated. It looked at the gash on its shoulder to the back and roared angrily.

Riya saw this and nodded.

Amelia’s reaction speed was quite good. It seemed that she must have suffered from harsh training under her brother’s teaching.

Swish!

“Damn it,” Amelia cursed and then made her way to the magic beast once more. She swung her sword again and again.

Swish! Slash! Swish! Swish!

Most of them were a miss as the magic beast was also retreating. It wanted to counterattack but then sensed faint mana fluctuation from Amelia and knew that this girl was combining both magic and sword.

The magic beast didn’t understand it, but it knew that it shouldn’t attack.

‘Counterattack shield,’ Riya thought in her mind when she saw the faint layer of shield around Amelia. This should be the magic that Samuel taught to Amelia and also the most favorite shield for both mages and magic warriors.

Unfortunately, the magic spells for it was tightly controlled by the big families.

Thinking about how difficult it was for Riya to make her own formation counterattack shield, Riya sighed deeply. Her life in that world was truly filled with suffering because she started at the very bottom without any background or backing whatsoever.

And there were also many people who wanted her to die.

She did die in the end and it was really miserable.

Swish! Slash! Swish!

Amelia and the magic beast kept on going and looking at it, Riya knew that Amelia had the advantage.

There was no need for them to worry.

“Are you going to help?” Ruby asked with worry as she watched the battle between Amelia and the magic beast.

“No, she doesn’t need it.”

“Really?”

“Yes. She’s stronger than this magic beast,” Riya replied.

She didn’t know whether it was because these magic beasts had only came out or because the mana had only recovered slightly, but these magic beasts were all the unranked magic beasts.

They were really weak and could be dealt by the rank 1 magic warrior easily.

Even as a rank 1 mage, Riya can also deal with it.

She was already rank 3, though.

“Why did you provoke it?” Ruby then thought about something else.

The magic beast was clearly still a distance away, but Riya provoked it so that it would come to them.

“Otherwise, we’ll fight with two magic beasts,” Riya replied and pointed to the front where another magic beast had come.

Slash!

At this moment, Amelia had already finished killing the first magic beast. When she saw another one coming, her expression tightened.

“Damn it!”

Swish!

Without hesitation, Amelia dashed forward and attacked this magic beast that was about to attack her.

*grrr*

The magic beast roared and pounced forward, the claw reaching forward.

Swish!

Amelia also evaded and her hair nearly got caught. She gritted her teeth and then dashed forward once more.

There was no way she would die here!

Ahhhh!!!!

Looking at Amelia’s passionate appearance, both Riya and Ruby were speechless. Is it really necessary to scream so loudly?

Riya glanced at the side and silently moved her hand. ‘Arrow tracking formation magic.’

Swish!

From behind her, countless arrows came out and headed straight towards these magic beasts around them that wanted to come over after Amelia’s yell. As much as Amelia’s moves were useful, her scream could easily attract other magic beasts.

*Roar*

*Whimper*

Several voices came to them and Ruby quickly looked around warily. She has been trying to stay calm in this situation, but her hand holding the knife couldn’t help but tremble.

It was one thing for them to stay calm in the face of danger but another matter when the danger was right in front of them.

“Shall we.. go back?” Ruby asked.

“If you want to, sure,” Riya replied.

She would not force them to go out and looked into the distance. She could see that there were some people who came out after hearing these magic beasts’ roar and then ran back again. It seemed that they were also afraid.

Riya did do some cleaning in this area but it didn’t mean that she killed all of the existing magic beasts.

There were still some of them lingering around.

Moreover, from the fact that there were more magic beasts coming in the distance, RIya guessed that it came from another crack.

She would have to check them again later.

But for now…

Slash!

Thud!

Amelia finally finished killing the magic beast and panted. She sat down and looked at the other two with a grin, “I did it.”

“You did great.” Riya gave thumbs up.

Ruby also nodded and then said, “Let’s go before we attract more magic beast.”

“Yes.”

With that, the three of them quickly retreated and found a convenience store in front of their university. The store barely hold up and from the way it looked like, some people had come inside and stole some things.

Well, the door were broken and the glasses were shattered.

It was not a surprise.

Click!

“Raise your hands!”
