Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 107 Special Magic Core

So she had to take shortcut.

And this shortcut was developed by herself to strengthen her physique using mana and the formation inside her body. The moment she reached rank 4, part of the mana would be delivered by the formation around her heart to strengthen her other parts of the body too.

But because of this method, Riya's need of mana has become greater.

The amount of mana Riya needed in her advancement become several times more than other mages and magic warriors.

Magic warriors were the one who needed least mana among them all. They only needed to reach the very minimum of each mage's rank to advance to the next rank because their main focus was not their mana. Most of those who picked the magic warriors path chose this path because their mana's progression was too slow.

Of course, there were always some exception.

Some people were good at both physical arts and magic, so they picked this route that allowed them to use both.

"Oh well, let's just practice honestly." Riya sighed and then looked in the direction where the other special magic core was located.

To be honest, if she was still rank 3, Riya would be unwilling to go there. Because fighting against several rank 3 magic beasts were still very difficult. And in the journey to that place, who knew if she would meet other magic beasts?

So Riya didn't want to go there.

But now that Riya had reached rank 4, she was feeling a bit greedy for the special magic core in that place.

"Oh right, the mark."

Riya took out a mirror and pulled her collar down slightly. There was a petal shaped mark on her chest in peach color. It didn't look that much different from her skin and no one would be able to see it from a distance.

"It's still petal shape, huh?"

Inspecting the mark for a few seconds, Riya then put the mirror away.

She looked at the rune pillar behind her and then shook her head. The material of this pillar was at least rank 7, so if she wanted to do anything to it, she should become rank 7 mage at the very least.

And from rank 3 to rank 4 and from rank 6 to rank 7 was a big jump that needed a lot of mana and other materials.

It was not so easy.

If there was a plane, she could go there in less than a day.

But if she had to walk on her own...

Forget it.

Riya sighed in the end and looked around her. The mana concentration in this area had dropped a lot after she took out the two special magic cores from the pillars. This meant that these magic beasts wouldn't be able to grow up so quickly.

'Let's go back.'

Riya then made her way up through a different crack that she had found. Along the way, she killed more magic beasts that scattered all around.

The number of magic beasts had decreased significantly after she went on a slaughter spree.

As for climbing up...

Riya simply used levitating magic and kicked the wall from time to time until she reached above.

Swish!

As she jumped up, Riya could feel the glaring sun above her and raised her hand to block the sunlight. After staying in the dark for a long time, being greeted by such brilliant light made her eyes felt that they were going to be blind.

'Hmm?'

Riya blinked her eyes a few times and then looked at her surroundings.

"This is... City B?"

Seeing the address written under the store board not far from her, Riya fell into silence. The distance between City A and City B was quite considerable.

So... she accidentally ran from City A to City B?

'What to do now?'

Riya sighed and looked around. City B had more devastation and Riya also didn't know anyone here. So she could only look for an abandoned bicycle and then headed towards City A.

As for why it was not car or motorcycle.... What a joke, she didn't know how to drive them!
