Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 83

Chapter 83: RUN!
BANG! BANG! BANG!

The rapid sound of gunshots startled them and Riya looked to the front where there were some people standing on top of a car and aimed their weapons to the magic beasts behind them.

“They are… military?” Amelia asked.

“It seems so,” Riya replied and finished her formation and pasted it on the car. Internally, she apologized to Ruby because the car speed would be pushed another notch and controlling it might be harder.

Ruby nearly jumped when she felt the car getting faster but she gritted her teeth.

In this life and death’s situation, her concentration had become astounding.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They bypassed the car and the people in the military car also nodded at them but didn’t say anything else.

They had to focus on eliminating these magic beasts.

“Go! Now!”

After shooting several magic beasts, the military car also started to speed up. They were nearby and wanted to collect the survivors in this area. But after they came out, they realized that the earthquake was not simple.

It had created several cracks on the ground and made more magic beasts coming out.

So they chose to fight.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

*roar!*

The sound of gun shooting could be heard from their back and also other areas. Riya used her magic to inspect the area and her expression sank slightly. There were too many magic beasts coming out.

This number would not be much different from a beast horde.

Beast horde was a phenomenon when there were a large number of beasts coming out to attack at one place. These magic beasts were usually controlled by a higher ranked magic beast or some magic beast with some peculiar ability.

One way or another, these magic beasts would attack and killed many people and even attacked other beast’s settlements.

It could be said that some species of magic beasts couldn’t really get along with each other.

And from the large number of magic beasts pouring out, Riya felt as if they were facing beast horde once more. But she could also see that these magic beasts were not given order because their movements were chaotic.

If there was anything in common, it would be their desire to step forward.

They seemed to be heading in the same direction as where Riya and the others were going for some reason.

As for what they were chasing, Riya didn’t know.

Eye of sight magic spell could only allow her to strengthen her vision for a short period of time. It allowed her to look into the distance and see more details but it was not such an exaggerate magic that it could make her see the entire world.

There was a limit to it.

“Go faster! Ruby!” Amelia screamed when she saw a magic beast suddenly coming from the side.

Swish!

The magic beast pounced and then stumbled back as if it had hit a wall and fell down only to be trampled by other magic beasts around. These magic beasts had no sense of loyalty or comrade or anything like that. They could even eat their own kinds.

Riya looked in the distance and saw these magic beasts were still pouring out.

If she hadn’t locked two cracks in advance, their number might have been much more.

Speaking of the formation…

Could it be that the formation was breached?

Riya knew very well that if the earthquake disturbed the formation’s promotion, it was not impossible for the formation to be broken. After all, a formation required a medium to use and their mana was basically the connector.

She could draw runes in the air with her mana but it would not last long.

The mana will eventually dissipate.

And if she drew it on any kind of ground or place, that place had to remain intact. Because even the slightest bit of disturbance can interrupt the mana flow, causing the entire formation to fail.

Of course, for a formation that had been activated, it was not so easy to disturb.

And destroying the entire grounds were not so easy to do when they were making a large formation as there were some protection kind of magic formed from the runes, which will protect it.

Riya knew that her formation also had the protection.

But because of the gap in the middle where these magic beasts pour out, the protection was not very stable. Moreover, the earthquake involved a large ground and could possibly destroy the entire surrounding.

How could her small formation hold up in that kind of situation?

When RIya thought about this, she could only smile bitterly.

It seemed that her formation was not of much help.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of gunshots from the front attracted Riya’s attention. Ruby was still controlling the car and they headed towards Amelia’s house, but they found out that there were also many magic beasts on the front.

If they continued to go forward, they would crash onto them.

“What should I do?” Ruby completely panicked.

Amelia looked to the back where many magic beasts were chasing and then at the side where the military car was also speeding up and still shooting from time to time and lastly to the front where there were also some magic beasts.

“Crash onto them!”

“Ah?”

“Do it!”

Amelia was wearing the seatbelt and held onto the seat tightly. She knew that her car was quite good because it was quite expensive when she bought it back then. But at the same time, Amelia also knew that her car might not be able to hold on.

But so what?

They couldn’t go anywhere else and other directions would bring them further away from her home.

So just go straight through!

Riya silently casted another spell as Ruby stepped on the gas and rushed towards the magic beasts in front of them.

The impact of the collision should be enough to kill them.

Bang! Bang! Bam!

The car shook as it continued to hit these magic beasts.
