Runemaster in the Last Days

There was a time when Riya was a bit envious.

But after seeing the runes, she completely forgot about it.

After all, even if she felt a bit envious for a while, it would not affect her life, so she was not bothered by it at all. At most, she would utter a few words to show envy and then move on with her life.

"Do you think Navi is also from this world?" Riya asked with a grin.

Samuel was stunned and then he looked at Riya with a complicated look. "If she's really here, then she'll be a troublesome opponent."

He had met with Navi in the past and knew how arrogant that woman is.

Of course, that woman's arrogance didn't last long when she was beaten up by Samuel. The intricate five elements could not block his violent and ruthless attack. One sword attack was all that Samuel needed to defeat Navi.

But that was in that world.

The geniuses from various forces would compete with each other and Samuel had already fought against them.

But while her skills were really good, Samuel was not exactly impressed by the other party's personality.

She's too annoying!

"I hope not." Samuel shrugged.

Based on Riya's conjecture, he knew that there were a total of 12 returnees from that world. But so far, the number of people they managed to find was only 7 people. As for the other five?

It could be in other continents or they were hiding so deeply because they didn't want to be found.

In any case, Samuel was not too concerned about it.

He only cared about his own strength and all.

Riya chuckled. "It'll be interesting if all of those geniuses were to gather around."

"No… I hope not."

There were many eccentric geniuses in that world and Samuel didn't want to have an 'offline' meeting with them. Thinking about the headache he had when dealing with those people, Samuel truly didn't want to repeat that again in his entire life.

"Is it really that bad?" Riya looked at Samuel suspiciously.

"Yes." Samuel nodded without hesitation.

Riya clicked her tongue and shook her head.

Since she lived in a low key manner, not many people knew her names. In this world, only Samuel and Peter among the returnees who knew her true identity. Some of her friends and the special soldiers' team also knew, but they were not counted.

When they were discussing her, they would always mention the word 'the rune master' instead of her name.

This was the method used to conceal her real identity.

Anyway, Riya was basically a stay at home girl who didn't like going out so much. There were not many people who knew about her existence aside from some people.

Crack! Crack!

The two of them were still talking and joking around but the next moment, they stopped and looked at the few skeletons that appeared from the ground.

Riya smirked. "The lich is greeting us. It seems that we have already entered his territory."

"The ground is still made of crystal. It seems that he had moved," Samuel commented, not concerned about these few skeletons in front of them.

The skeletons were not very strong and even when he was at rank 5, he could deal with these skeletons easily. Now that he was already rank 6, it would be even easier for him to clean up these skeletons.

And they didn't actually have to move.

The Protective Rune Circle was enough.

Klack! Klack!

These skeleton bones fell apart one by one as Samuel and Riya walked past them with ease. Neither of the two were worried that the Protective Rune Circle wouldn't be able to withstand the attack from the skeletons.

"There might be some metal with dark element nearby. The lich loves the dark element the most and their territory is usually covered with dark element," Riya added, her eyes scanned the area around her curiously.

The two of them had already dug out several types of metal.

Unfortunately, neither of them were forging masters, so they have to leave this matter to the researchers to make the most suitable metal for the two of them to use. So far, the result was pretty good and with the runes, the weapons were strengthened.

Of course, if it was possible, the two of them really wished to be able to use the specialized weapon made by the forging masters instead of only being strengthened by Riya.

After all, the effect of the weapons made by the forging master would be more than 1+1 after adding the runes.

"Do you think there might be special magic core?"

"No, it's not that easy for special magic core to form." Riya shook her head. "If it's that easy, do you really think that these magic beasts would not make a move first?"

The crack might have been cleaned up by the two of them, but there were still a lot of magic beasts in other areas.

There was no way these magic beasts would not pounce on the special magic core if they were to find one.

"Ah… You're right." Samuel just remembered that.

RUMBLE!

Seeing the ground trembled in front of them as there were more and more piles of skeletons around, the two of them finally stopped talking.

No way, the dragon skeleton was a proper rank 6 magic beast even if it was only a summoned one.

If they didn't focus on dealing with it, they wouldn't be able to step forward.

"Let me deal with it," Samuel said.

"Don't take too long."

"I won't."

Riya chuckled when she saw Samuel's confident smile and walked past the skeleton dragon as if there was nothing beside her.

And the skeleton dragon also ignored Riya.

If there were anyone else here, they would have been shocked by Riya's operation. Because she seemed to treat the skeleton dragon as air yet the skeleton dragon truly didn't seem to sense her.

"Die!"

Swish! Bang!
