Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 96

Chapter 96: Formations
Riya looked at the three formation plate in front of her with satisfaction.

For her, making formation was easy but it was still time consuming and consumed a lot of her mana. The amount of mana she has in this world was not much and to reach the same height as the one when she was in that world was not easy either.

“Three formations, one counterattack formation, one defensive formation, and one recovery formation,” Riya said as she looked at the three plates in front of her.

At the same time, she thought about her mana that has bottomed out after making three formations and sighed deeply. It was really not easy for her to make so many formations at the same time. At rank 3, this was already her limit.

Swish!

Coming out of her world, Riya looked at the crack in front of her and shook her head. She will enter the crack in a while. But before that, she had to recover her mana first.

With that, Riya took out the mana stones and set up an Advance Mana Gathering Formation and started to meditate. The existence of the illusion formation would ensure that no one was able to see her when she was here.

Bang!

The meditation was interrupted and Riya raised her head. She frowned when she saw the group of people coming.

‘Military?’

From their appearance, they seemed to have come from the military.

Riya knew that there were some military people in City A because she had seen some of them in Samuel’s place. They were all working together with the Jones Family to make a base and might be staying there.

“Did I spend too much time in that world?” Riya asked in confusion. She was sure that she didn’t change the time setting, allowing it to move at the same time as her own time except for a separate part that has frozen time. Because if one want to change the time to slow it down or to accelerate, it would consume too much mana.

Making a part has time stop was already the limit.

The military had spent so much time dealing with a large number of the magic beasts not long ago. Why did they have time to come here at this time?

As Riya was confused, she heard loud voices coming in the direction of the academy.

And the young man who confronted her, Amelia, and Ruby before appeared, cursing many people while being escorted by the military.

“Ah… he’s still alive.”

Riya rubbed her fingers together as she watched that young man, Hansel, came out with one of his friend. The other friend should have died in the claws of those magic beasts not long ago.

And it seemed that his family should be influential enough to let the military step forward to rescue him.

‘Should I make a move?’

If Riya wanted to, she could attract the attention of the few magic beasts around this area to attack Hansel. There were some magic that could do that.

But at the same time, the soldiers who were in charge of protecting Hansel would definitely be involved.

“This…”

Riya slowly put down her hand and shook her head.

In that world, Riya had to kill almost everyone who crossed path with her. Because her ability and possession made many people greedy and wanted to take it for themselves. If she had not been strong enough, she would have long died before obtaining the world treasure.

And there was a saying to cut weeds from the roots.

If Hansel continued to stay alive, he might bring trouble to Riya and Amelia in the future because of his personality and the fact that he was close to Amelia’s cousin, Valeria.

But…

Riya looked at the soldiers around Hansel and finally shook her head.

She could be unscrupulous in that world and felt nothing because that was how the world has been. In this world, she has finally experience the short period of peace again and these soldiers were all given order by the higher ups.

If she truly wanted to kill Hansel, it would be better to do it when there were no one who could stop her or get involved in her path.

Brrm!

The car sped away, crashing onto some magic beasts midway and Riya averted her eyes away. She continued to recover her mana and after some time, it was full again. The combination of the Advance Mana Gathering Formation with her own rigorous practice was more than enough to let her recover her mana quickly.

Of course, if she wanted to train and expand the limit, this much would not be enough.

But today, Riya had to explore this crack.

‘Now…’

Swish!

Jumping down the crack, Riya stepped on the slippery wall. Countless magic beasts tried to storm out of the formation and immediately crashed. They died after having their body split or pierced through due to the formation.

The blood splattered all around the wall, turning the entire place into a complete bloodbath.

‘The killing formation is indeed very brutal.’

Riya looked at the blood on the wall with some distress. These were all materials!

If she could collect their blood, she could use it to make more formation in the future. These beast blood was much better than the water and ink she used to draw talisman before.

It was not like Riya didn’t want to use something better.

But there were not many liquid that could contain mana and seal it inside the talisman. The best materials for the one time talisman has always been the beast’s blood or the liquid mana.

The former has mixed properties so they had to be sorted out and before this earthquake, Riya never thought of seeing them again. The latter was hard to make because their mana was still in the gas form until they reached advance rank, which was still a long way to go.
