Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1017 1019: War in Other Location (2)

"Something is preventing us from leaving," Navi replied and looked at the incoming magic beasts.

She could only think of the person or whatever it is that spoke in their mind.

Since it had the ability to open up the passage between the two worlds, it should also be possible to prevent them from leaving a certain area.

The magic spell casted here was nothing more than restriction.

Restriction for both Nalan and Navi from leaving a designated area.

It might also apply for Ami, but since she's still in her soul form, most magic beasts couldn't even hurt her.

"Why?" Nalan almost broke down when he heard that.

"How should I know?" Navi retorted back in annoyance.

Bang!

Seeing the magic beasts coming over, the two of them were not in good mood. At this moment, the soldiers have already arrived, but they avoided the area where the two people were located, focusing on dealing with the upcoming magic beasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless powerful weapons were used.

No magic beasts were allowed loose and they were suppressed forcefully. With Nalan and Navi taking the attention of at least one fourth of the entire magic beasts, the soldiers' burden has long been lightened.

But the two of them were not in pleasant mood.

They stayed at the edge, the furthest away possible from the passage.

"Set up absolute shield, Nalan," Navi said.

"Ah."

Swish!

The areas of more than 10 meters around them were instantly cleared up, not letting anyone passed by.

This is the absolute shield, the ultimate skill that Nalan had only managed to learn recently. This skill allowed him to create an area where no one could pass by but at the same time, Nalan would not be able to defend himself.

For this reason, everyone inside his defensive skill had to be someone he could trust.

So Navi cleared up the area on purpose.

"How long can you cast it?" Navi asked.

"8 hours at most. After that, I have to rest a lot," Nalan replied and looked at the magic beasts around them.

Even though 8 hours couldn't be considered long, but this was more than enough for the two of them to rest and also replenished their strength.

It's just...

"Do we have to live a life where we had to fight against the magic beasts all the time?" Nalan's face darkened.

He learned this skill just to make sure that he could create a safe place for himself and for Navi.

Now, this skill was proven useful.

But the reason why Nalan had to use this skill made his face turned black.

"I don't know how to dispel the magic spell," Navi replied with annoyance. There was magic skill that would allow them to dispel other people's magic, but it was not that easy to use.

After all, she had to understand what the other party's magic spell is and made appropriate measure afterwards.

It was not that simple.

"Damn it!" Nalan looked at the large number of magic beasts around them and felt that someone was setting up traps for them.

"Why the hell we have to train hard if in the end, we have to give up our lives just to fight these damned magic beasts? Does the returnee only have the use of fighting and can't even live the lives we actually want?"

Bang!

Punching the ground in frustration, Nalan sat down and started to think about what he wanted to do next.

It was obvious that they wouldn't be able to defeat these magic beasts only relying on their current ability. The ability that Nalan obtained was something that he chose to use just because he could.

But now...

Nalan had the feeling that the skill was given to him because whoever it was had already planned his future paths.

How could Nalan not be annoyed?

How could he not be angry?

How could he not be frustrated?

"How long can you use the skill again after one use?" Navi asked as she looked at the magic beasts outside.

Once the 8 hours that Nalan said had passed, they would have to fight against those magic beasts once again.

"Another 8 hours," Nalan replied. "With my stamina, I can only activate it again after another 8 hours have passed. The limit is 12 hours, but I'm not strong enough to activate it for that long."

And if they had been stronger... would they have to struggle for a long time just to deal with these magic beasts without knowing when they would die?

The grand magic beasts' tide will never stop until the entire planet has been destroyed.

And at that time...

"Damn it! #$%^&*()!"

Curses were shouted out loud by Nalan without restraint.

He wanted these people to die.

Whoever set up such a thing and also whoever caused him to suffer so much like this...

It's better for them all to die!

Navi was not feeling much better than Nalan.

The thoughts that your entire life had been prearranged by someone was truly bad. It was as if someone was watching what they were doing and whatever paths they have picked, they would have to follow the route that had been predetermined.

It was incredibly frustrating.

And seeing so many magic beasts coming out with the soldiers suppressing it, Navi knew very well that the soldiers would never last long.

The preparation they have made, the ammunition that they had handled before, and so on, would never last long.

But Country Y would never give up so easily.

Many people have been deployed to this place, each and every single one of them were determined to fight until the very end.

"Then, Nalan, are you prepared to accept that you will die under the claws of these magic beasts without being able to do anything in the slightest bit?" Navi suddenly asked, her eyes looked at her cousin solemnly.

Nalan sneered when he heard such absurd question. "In your dream."
