Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 327: Ancient Runes

Rank 3 magic beasts' corpses littered the entire area.

The combined forces of both Samuel and Riya was far from what these rank 3 magic beasts could possibly match.

They have to bring those of higher rank.

However, Riya still felt her mana emptied.

She was busy running away and then used several rank 4 formation magic to deal with these rank 4 magic beasts. Now, she had to clean up these rank 3 magic beasts, which made most of her mana exhausted.

'It's really risky…'

But it's worth it.

Riya thought about the special magic core that she had put in her world and smiled faintly. This could help her to consolidate her rank quickly.

But thinking about the one near the crack where they came from before… Riya felt that she should make formation to block these magic beasts to prevent them from coming towards the base.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they had to be chased out of the crack like this.

"It's done." Samuel looked at the pile of magic beasts' corpses and took those that he killed himself. The rest were killed by Riya, so she could claim them.

"Yes, it's done."

Riya didn't notice any other mail beasts nearby, so they should have cleaned up the magic beasts in this area. But she didn't know whether they could clean up those magic beasts from other areas.

"So, can you tell me why you are being chased by magic beasts every time you're in the crack?" Samuel asked and looked at Riya helplessly.

The last time they traveled in the crack together, they were also being chased by these magic beasts. And at that time, the two of them were only rank 4 magic warriors, so when they faced a lot of rank 3 magic beasts, they were somewhat exhausted.

Now that they were rank 5… but the magic beasts that chased after them was no longer rank 3 but rank 4 magic beasts.

The improvement of these magic beasts were really fast.

At the very least, it seemed to be on par with their own improvement.

Which seemed to be incredulous because these people who returned from that world were basically re-cultivating. They didn't have much bottleneck when they advanced because they have reached that rank before.

Their bodies might be different, but they knew very well what they would face when they wanted to reach the next rank.

So they were calm.

Most of the time, what they needed was simply the resources needed to make their breakthrough.

"I took a special magic core," Riya replied as she looked at Samuel. "From the formation."

Samuel's lips twitched.

After that, he was stunned and he looked at Riya with frown. "You mean, someone put the special magic core in the formation down there?"

"Yes and no," Riya replied.

"What do you mean?"

"Because the formations are strange," Riya replied.

When she looked at those formations, it looked both ancient and new at the same time. More importantly, the attraction of these special magic cores were very obvious, so how could they remained the same if the formation had been operating for a long time.

Unless these special cores were protected before.

But why would they do that?

"What do you mean by strange?"

"There are some runes that are not usually used but used in this formation, as if the person who draw it doesn't know that there's the simplification version," Riya replied with a shrug. "Those ancient types of runes should have disappeared in time and not many people want to use it because it's too complicated."

And the simplified version also allowed the mana to be transported more easily. This will allow the formation to be stronger.

Even if the degree was not much, but every improvement is a good thing.

After all, they could only improve bit by bit to achieve the best result.

"Ancient runes?" Samuel was stunned when he heard Riya said that. He thought for a moment and then asked, "How many ancient runes are there?"

"Uh… a few hundred thousands?" Riya replied and then blinked her eyes. "I did learn both types but I usually used the simplified version for magic spells and used the ancient for formation plate because it's stabler."

The ancient runes were more convenient when carving a formation and making talisman. Because the mana flow easily and it was really stable.

But the simplified version would make the mana flow faster and in some case, there were parts where the connection was not stable enough.

This was something that Riya noticed.

The 𝘮ost uptodat𝑒 novels are pub𝙡ished on freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

She asked her teacher in that world about this but the other party told her that most people would not care about it. And the simplified version was made in order to pass down the runes.

Because not every era had someone who could memorize all of these runes.

At that time, Riya chose to memorize both of them because she felt that it was very easy to memorize. Since it might be useful, she might as well memorize all of them at the same time.

Samuel: "…"

For some reasons, he now felt glad that he had no talent to become rune master.

Otherwise, he would be haunted by who knows how many runes in his dream when he thought about this matter.

Pushing the thoughts to the back, Samuel sighed and looked at the crack. "Do you want to go back now?"

"Now? Are you not afraid that these magic beasts will come out and hunt you again?" Riya asked with her lips twitched.

She would not enter yet.

At the very least, she would not go back until the riots stopped and these magic beasts no longer came out to run away from the formation. Otherwise, what awaited them would be nothing more than battle and more battles.

She was not Peter who would like such tough battle.

"In that case, let's wait for a while and find something else to do."
