Runemaster in the Last Days

"Riya!"

Thud! Boom!

*cough* *cough*

Shadow creature was the best at sneaking over and launching sneak attack. Since Riya was basically standing still, she could be said to be the best target for these shadow creatures.

"Ugh, rank 5 shadow creature," Riya muttered.

The rank of these magic beasts were really high.

If any of these magic beasts came out, both of them were sure that the Green Planet would be destroyed in less than a day's time.

Because no one could withstand their attack.

"Riya!" Samuel called out again.

"I'm fine! Focus on your battle!" Riya yelled back and her hand had already started to form runes once more. She sneered. "Since you want a battle so much, then I'll oblige you."

Swish! BOOM!

…

While Riya and Samuel were fighting underground in the crack, the others were working hard to clean up the magic ants' nest.

It took them a few days to thoroughly explored the nest and found a lot of magic cores.

"The magic ants can't be eaten, but they sure have magic cores inside." Amelia was happy when she thought about her harvest.

"Yes." Sean was also delighted when he thought about their harvest.

Their group was also following the soldiers to practice here and their progress was really good.

Of course, the best was Mo.

They all turned to look at Mo, who was eating the magic beasts' meat heartily. The food was given from Riya and Sophia managed it. But even if Mo ate several magic beasts every day, he didn't seem to be full.

"For some reasons, I envied his stomach." Ruben looked at Mo enviously. If he could eat as much as Mo, he was sure that he would be able to advance to rank 3 sooner.

"You're not the only one." Arnold also looked at Mo helplessly.

"If there's a way to compress the mana to help us advance quickly, it'll be the best," Sean added.

"No one around us could make mana potion," Stephen added. "But Samuel said that there's someone who could in other place."

The others: "…" what's the use if that person is not around?

They only wanted to get stronger faster and didn't care about someone who was so far away.

"Come on, let's eat something first before going back," Amelia reminded.

They have been here for more than two weeks but neither Samuel or Riya had returned. Though, none of them were that worried about him.

Seeing his strength, they believed that Samuel and Riya would be fine.

"Yes!"

Since the magic ants' meat couldn't be eaten, they had to look for other magic beasts' meat to eat. It was not that hard to find other magic beasts around. The problem was in finding higher ranked magic beasts.

Because the few that roamed around were usually only rank 1 to rank 2.

The rank 1 magic beasts' meat were all packed back and the rank 2 magic beasts' meat were eaten by the soldiers and them.

It was delicious~.

"Mr. Arnold."

"Yes, Major General Leon?" Arnold replied when he saw Major General Leon coming over.

"We have basically finished cleaning up this area and we plan to return. Do you wish to go back with us or would you like to stay behind?" Major General Arnold asked.

Since Samuel and Riya left, this group was basically led by Arnold. The main reason was simple as Arnold is basically the strongest magic warrior in their team. Moreover, they all knew Arnold's background and felt that he was suitable to lead them.

Anyway, his order was easy to follow and all of them gained improvement in their fighting skills over the past few months.

"We will go with you," Arnold replied without hesitation.

Even though he was already at the peak of rank 2 by now, but Arnold would not be blindly confident that he could deal with these magic beasts on his own. It would be better for them to go with the soldiers and so on.

"Good."

Peter was not far from them and he waved his hand. "Don't forget about me! I'm still waiting for a feast!"

Major General Leon was trying his best to keep his face emotionless as he faced Peter and said, "Yes, I won't forget."

Anyway, the one who paid would be the Martial Arts Association behind Peter.

He only needed to make report to them about what Peter wanted to eat. There was no need for him to pay for Peter from his own pocket.

But he silently lit a candle for the Martial Arts Association.

Because these days, he had realized that Peter's appetite was simply too big!

Major General Leon didn't even understand how this man managed to eat magic beast's meat that was more than 5 times bigger than his own body in one meal. It was to the point that many people were looking at Peter in astonishment.

Because even if they were magic warrior, their appetite was not as scary as him.

"I wonder if there's any change in the base by now," Peter commented.

He didn't stay in City A Base for that long, but he liked the atmosphere in the base.

How about if he apply to the Martial Arts Association to stay in City A Base temporarily?

It didn't seem to be a bad idea.

The group talked and chatted while they went back.

Upon coming back, Ruben went to check on Samuel's work. It couldn't be helped. While he had his own work, one of his main work was to be Samuel's assistant and as a qualified assistant, he had to check on Samuel's work progress in the base.

So far, the result seemed to be quite good.

Mr. Jones let Ruben came and told him about some things.

"Mr. Black is still dissatisfied?" Ruben asked with confusion on his face. It seemed that this Mr. Black will never be satisfied no matter what they did.

"You know him, he'll never stop if he didn't make trouble." Mr. Jones' eyes were a bit cold.
