Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1041 1043: It's Frustrating, Isn’t it?

"Got it!"

Both Arnold and Ruben didn't ask any question to Samuel and quickly executed the order.

They knew very well that they were racing against time because who knew what kind of magic beasts would be thrown out of the passage.

The rank 10 lightning magic birds that appeared not long ago had already told them that this was not a battle that they could possibly fight.

It would be better for them to go as far away as possible and avoid holding these people back.

"Damn it." Arnold saw the passage shook once more.

For such a big movement, they clearly able to sense it and knew that more powerful magic beasts will definitely come out of the passage in the next moment.

But...

"It's frustrating, isn't it?"

Hearing Ruben's voice, Arnold frowned and then said, "What are you talking about, Ruben?"

Ruben gave a faint smile and looked at the rank 10 lightning magic bird that appeared from the passage quietly. He knew very well that this rank 10 lightning magic bird had to be solved quickly by Riya once again.

But to do that, Riya would have to push herself to the limit.

Again and again.

Even though he's Riya's disciple, Ruben knew that he couldn't participate in such a battle because the pressure from the rank 10 lightning magic bird was more than enough to kill him, who was still far away like this.

It was only because Riya dealt with the rank 10 lightning magic bird fast enough that the damage didn't reach further away.

But...

Looking at the scorched land around the passage and the fact that all other magic beasts nearby died the moment the rank 10 lightning magic bird appeared, one could only imagine what kind of terrifying magic power that the rank 10 lightning magic bird leaked out.

For these two people to stand around the rank 10 lightning magic bird and fought it...

In a way, it gave a sense of security no one else could possibly compare to.

But at the same time, there was a strong sense of frustration at the fact that they couldn't do anything to help them to deal with the rank 10 lightning magic bird.

Three years are not enough.

These returnees were granted more time than them.

But they also had to pay the price to be able to have much more time than them to learn magic and training that would allow them to deal with the powerful rank 10 lightning magic bird.

Boom!

Loud explosion came from the distance and Ruben saw very clearly that Riya was panting as she dealt with the third rank 10 lightning magic bird that came out of the passage.

Who knew how many rank 10 lightning magic bird would come out?

And from the behavior of Samuel and Riya, they all seemed to have known that these rank 10 lightning magic birds are definitely not the strongest magic beasts on the other side.

There were other more powerful magic beasts that they might have to deal with.

"I'm just thinking that if I had been stronger, I might be able to help Samuel and Riya more," Ruben replied as he continued to run.

The rank 10 lightning magic bird was split into two once more.

As someone who had been taught runes by Riya, Ruben naturally knew that this was the result of her using the space related formation. He didn't know the details and Riya had handed over a large number of books related to runes to him.

It was obvious that she was treating him as her disciple and have great expectation for him.

Unfortunately, Ruben knew very well that his own talent was definitely far from Riya and couldn't be compared to her.

But he didn't want to give up.

Even if his talent might not be as good as hers, he still wanted to step forward and do what he could in order to achieve more things.

Because this is the only thing that he could possibly do.

"...What are you actually talking about, Ruben?" Arnold almost wanted to punch Ruben. "We've been doing everything we could... so all we could is to ensure that everything we did is not for nothing and these magic beasts couldn't cross the barrier. As long as we protected the back areas, they would be able to fight to their fullest."

"That's..."

*Roar!*

After a few powerful magic beasts came out, what followed was rank 7 and lower magic beasts.

Riya and Samuel were still hovering in the air, not making a move in the slightest bit. It was obvious that they were exhausted from facing three rank 10 lightning magic birds. One was dealt with by Samuel and the other two were dealt with by Riya.

As for the large rank 9 metallic magic tiger, the last two were handled by Samuel because Dina and Peter were having difficulty dealing with them at such a short period of time.

And from the way it looked like, there would be more rank 9 magic beasts coming out from the passage soon.

"I understand, Arnold," Ruben replied with a smile. "We just have to protect their backs and make sure that they could focus on dealing with the powerful magic beasts."

"Good. Now, let's inform the soldiers to put the defensive line further to the back. Tell the construction team that we want them to create a new defensive wall at this...."

With Arnold giving more instruction, Ruben also quickly helped.

Since he used to be studying architecture, he was involved in the defensive fortress layout plan. Moreover, he helped with the selection of the materials in order to allow it to be built at the shortest time possible.

Boom!

As the soldiers retreated, more and more magic beasts came out.

There were only some of them remained at the original defensive area, dealing with the magic beasts while the other prepared for a new defensive layer to deal with the magic beasts.
