Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1042 1044: I know

Riya watched the scene while hovering in the air.

Dealing with the third rank 10 lightning magic bird on her own truly took the toll of her body. While she really wanted to find that annoying Green Planet's Consciousness and asked why the Green Planet's Consciousness allowed for such a powerful rank 10 lightning magic bird to come here several times...

But Riya knew very well that the Green Planet's Consciousness should have its own difficulties.

There was no way that the Green Planet's Consciousness would send powerful magic beasts that they couldn't defeat, right?

*pant* *pant*

"Rest for the time being." Samuel looked at Riya's condition and was worried for her. He knew very well that fighting against the rank 10 lightning magic bird one after another was definitely very tough.

It wouldn't be easy for Riya to maintain that focus and using her magic again and again.

In fact...

'The magic power that Riya used far surpassed what normal magician at rank 9 could possibly have.' Samuel thought about the books that his father in Afirer Kingdom left him.

Those books were filled with various knowledge that he didn't have the chance to learn before.

Each and every single one of them was extremely valuable.

And it was precisely because they were so valuable that Samuel shouldn't have been able to read them if it was not because of this chance.

Besides...

Afirer Kingdom would have been destroyed because of the grand magic beasts' tide and nothing would ever remain. Everything that they used to see would cease to exist because it had become inevitable.

Leaving the book in his hand might be his father in Afirer Kingdom's way to ensure that the family's lineage would continue.

But...

If the Green Planet failed, then what awaited them would be nothing more than a complete destruction of the entire world. It was nothing more than a gamble and perhaps also a blessing for them.

"I know," Riya replied and looked at the Protective Rune Circle around her. From the moment the rank 10 lightning magic bird appeared, it had already exuded extreme pressure and terrifying power that no other magic beast could possibly match.

Because she failed to advance to rank 9 quickly, her mana was far from enough to deal with a rank 10 magic beast properly.

So every time Riya deal with a rank 10 lightning magic bird, she had to take out a mana stone in order to replenish her mana quickly. Otherwise, what awaited her would be nothing more than her own destruction.

And for the last rank 10 lightning magic bird, Riya used the potion that she obtained from the officials.

They bought a lot of potions from Jonas Nolan in preparation for the grand magic beasts' tide.

But most of them were still given to the returnees.

Because only these returnees could possibly deal with the magic beasts that came out of the passage.

'Just the appearance of that rank 10 lightning magic bird alone had already caused damage on my Protective Rune Circle.'

Riya knew that the rank 10 lightning magic bird was strong.

And it was thanks to the Protective Rune Circle that she could focus on drawing her runes and continued to fight.

But this was clearly too much!

Her Protective Rune Circle would crumble if she met with another rank 10 lightning magic bird.

"Sam, how did you handle that rank 10 lightning magic bird's pressure?" Riya suddenly asked.

Samuel killed one rank 10 lightning magic bird on his own and competed in lightning element. The two of them could be said to be quite evenly matched and since they fought in the air, it didn't affect other people who were surrounding the place.

It was precisely because of this that Riya was not that worried and could focus on dealing with the second rank 10 lightning magic bird.

But now that she saw the condition of her Protective Rune Circle....

"I use my aura," Samuel replied as he held out his hand. "Since I have lightning element, the rank 10 lightning magic bird's elemental magic suppression doesn't work that well. It couldn't affect me that much and vice versa. However, I still use my aura to protect my body or I wouldn't be able to move freely."

He used wind magic to fly and thankfully, it didn't really cost a lot of mana.

Added with the rank 10 lightning magic bird's meat that Riya handed to him, Samuel felt that he could continue to hold on and fight with more rank 10 lightning magic bird even if they were to appear.

Though...

Samuel doubted that Riya would give him the chance.

When the last rank 10 lightning magic bird appeared, Riya directly made her move and used the Space Splitting Formation to kill it and split the body into two.

To be honest, her rapid movement was done in consideration that the rank 10 lightning magic bird could destroy the entire place in an instant.

But...

Using magic above one's rank would put too much burden into one's body.

"...Aura, huh?" Riya's expression scrunched slightly.

She's a rune master and if one wanted to extend the profession, then calling it magician would be more appropriate.

So Riya was not able to use aura.

Even though Riya had strengthened her physical strength with the help of her runes and all, but she still couldn't generate aura on her own. After all, her own practice as a warrior could only be said to be a mess.

She didn't have what it takes to become a warrior.

"When the next rank 10 lightning magic bird appear, you can let me be the one to handle it, Riya." Samuel couldn't help but extend his hand and rubbed Riya's head tenderly. He knew that there were not many people that could deal with the rank 10 lightning magic bird, but the was definitely one of them.

He didn't want to be protected by Riya all the time.
