Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 68 Magic Beasts?

"When did you learn that, Riya?" Amelia was stunned.

She had never expected that RIya would be able to do something like that. From what she knew, none of them have extraordinary physique. They didn't really exercising and the few bits they did was mostly only to keep their health.

Aside from that, they didn't really do a lot of exercise.

It was only recently that Amelia was forced by her older brother to practice more and thus, her physical strength had increased rapidly.

But she had never seen Riya did it.

"It's been a while," Riya replied and then looked around to check the surrounding. But before she could make a move, her eyes narrowed.

She sensed mana.

And it was different from mana that was floating in the air and mixed with the breath they inhaled each time.

This mana came from a creature.

A person or...

Riya frowned as she knew that the number of people who could have mana inside their body shouldn't be that many. And during her time in the university in the past few months, she basically didn't find anyone else aside from Samuel, Amelia's older brother.

Just as Riya was about to continue descending, a shrill scream broke through the silent.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"What's that?" Amelia was stunned. She was about to jump down but thankfully, she hadn't started her movement yet or she might end up falling.

Ruby walked to the window at the corridor and looked out. Her body stiffened as she looked at the scene outside in disbelief.

"What... what's that?"

The question is...

Why are these magic beasts here?

Riya took a deep breath.

For a moment, she thought that she was back to that cold and dangerous world. The world where everything is decided by strength and those who didn't have enough strength couldn't even do anything but to bow down and resign to fate.

Because even if they were unwilling in their heart, without any ability, their ending would only be death.

But this is not that world.

This is still her world.

"Riya?"

Hearing the call from Amelia, Riya forcefully calmed herself down. She knew that this was not the time for her to go there to check on these 'magic beasts' nor thinking where they actually came from.

Because no matter where they truly came from, the most important thing for them right now was to keep in safety.

Riya was confident that she could defeat these magic beasts on her own.

But how about the others?

"I'm coming," Riya replied and then went back to the stairs. With an agile movement, she climbed back up and saw Amelia looking in her direction.

"I think you'll fare better if you were to learn under my brother," Amelia muttered with a forced smile. She was trying hard not to think about those things outside.

"Let's go inside first." Riya shook her head.

Only she knew very well that if she were to learn the warrior's method, she would never be able to advance.
