Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Resting and Night Journey (2)
Bang! Bang! Bang!

Through staying near the crack, Riya could see these magic beasts were trying to climb up only to hit the formation and then fell down, this time as corpse. She knew the power of her formation very well, so Riya could guess that these magic beasts wouldn’t be able to escape from here.

But she clearly see that there were more magic beasts when she came out with Amelia and Ruby.

This meant there were another crack nearby.

Tep.

The paper doll had climbed up again. This time, the body was drenched in blood and it stretched its hand.

Riya held it and what the paper doll saw was transmitted back to Riya as the paper doll disappear.

Blood and corpses everywhere.

And there were still countless magic beasts rushing over to the entrance as if there was something that chased them or attracted them up here.

Riya looked in the distance.

Perhaps…

They were targeting humans?

Riya was not sure but she wouldn’t enter the crack at this period of time. With so many magic beasts around, Riya would only dig her own grave if she entered. She might be skilled but she was not invincible.

‘I need to reach rank 4 faster.’

After checking this crack, Riya followed the direction where more magic beasts gathered and went on a slaughter spree again.

Slash! Slash! Slash

These magic beasts couldn’t stand even for a moment around her and Riya tossed their corpses into her world, using it as nutrients. There were still no rank 1 magic beast, which might be because it was still early.

After looking around for a moment, Riya reached another crack, which was located more than 10 kilometers away from the first crack.

She used the blood of these magic beasts to make double killing formation and then the concealment magic.

“This should be enough, but how many cracks are there?” Riya pursed her lips when she thought about this.

City A itself was quite big, spanning more than 30 kilometers in radius. Riya had taken quite a considerable amount of time to reach this second crack. If there were more cracks, she would have to travel for a long time and there was basically no guidelines.

She’s only one person.

Riya looked around and then sighed.

‘There’s no point for me to care about this. The military should be able to handle it.’

While unranked magic beasts looked strong, they could still be defeated by bullets, grenades, bombs, and so on. They were fairly weak and the military should be able to handle it, provided that they could come here.

“Come to think about it, it has been more than a day since the earthquake happened, why no one come to City A to help?” Riya asked doubtfully.

She looked at the tallest building nearby and climbed it up.

Her own dormitory was not very tall but through that dormitory, Riya had seen that there were nothing more than ruins from where she could see.

And through this building…

Riya looked around her and what she saw was no different from what she saw from the dormitory.

Ruins.

And more ruins.

‘Eye of sight.’

Riya took a deep breath and activated her skills, allowing her to see further into the distance. And what she saw was nothing more than ruins with some building sstill standing, but it was clear that this earthquake basically destroyed the entire City A.

Even… she guessed that the surrounding cities were also destroyed.

Because of this, no one had the time to come and rescue them. The existences of these magic beasts also caused many people to be unable to advance as quickly as they wanted.

Ordinary people will die, military have to work harder…

People who were in these ruins would have to rely on themselves to survive for as long as it was possible.

*sigh*

Riya took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked in the direction where Amelia’s house located and found a group of mansions standing in somewhat higher grounds. There were walls that were still being built and Riya guessed that Amelia’s brother was trying to build a safe base.

A base…

The corner of Riya’s lips raised bitterly.

Samuel should have his own way to gain intelligence from the outside world. If he dared to make such a grand project, it was estimated that this earthquake didn’t only cover their nation but the entire world.

The world will change.

It would no longer be the place they used to know but a place where it was survival of the fittest.

Riya shook her head and silently made her way back down.

Since Samuel had started to make a base, Ruby and Amelia would be safe as long as they could reach that place. The only thing she had to do was to help escorting them there.

…

Swish!

When Riya returned, the two girls were still sleeping and there was a magic beast nearby, trying to get closer but seemed to be stuck by something.

“Oh.”

Riya raised her hand and a wind arrow pierced through the magic beast’s heart. After that, Riya put the body into her world and then sat back down, meditating to recover her mana and also resting.

In this way, another hour passed quietly.

Amelia woke up and turned her head to the back. Upon seeing Riya was safe and sound, Amelia heaved a sigh of relief and then glanced at Ruby who had also woken up and looked dazed.

“Ruby, do you plan to check that magic beast’s corpses again?”

“Mhm.” Ruby nodded and rubbed her eyes. “There’s no magic beast coming at night?”

“No, this place seems to be quite deserted, but we still have to go.” Amelia pointed at the steer. “We’ll go with car.”

“The engine sound?” Ruby asked with some doubts.

“It’s fine. We should be faster than those magic beasts.”

“Ok.”

“Let’s eat something first.”

When Riya woke up, she was informed about their plan and Riya agreed. She could make a sound insulation formation around the car, so that other wouldn’t be able to hear it.
