Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 325: Being Chased

It took Riya more than an hour to finish studying this time.

Most of them were exactly the same as what she had remembered.

As for the few others, she tried to combine these formations to understand their function better and noticed the limit.

The limit that this formation set.

"…Is it really rare for magic beasts to come here and take the special magic core or is it because these formations had only been formed some time before the earthquake happened?" Riya murmured in a low voice to herself.

Because she knew that these magic beasts should have been attracted by these special magic cores.

Why would they leave these special magic cores be?

Unless there was another reason why they couldn't take it before.

Something…

But Riya didn't know what it is.

'Is it a barrier or something like that?'

The problem is, if there was truly a barrier, there should be some mechanism left. If it was made with runes, she might be able to figure it out.

But if it was made with magic tools…

Ehem.

Some magic tools didn't use runes and if the mana was already exhausted, there was no way Riya could detect it from among the ruins.

She chose not to think too much.

Instead, she studied the numbering mechanism and after some time, she found the trigger.

It was number 3.

Because for these formations to be activated directly, the runes number three and above would be able to connect to a different formation, which would prompt the killing formation to be activated directly.

But from number 2 to number 3, it would not change directly after the special magic core was taken away.

Riya smiled faintly.

"So it's three times."

Once the special magic core has been taken three times by others, this place would be nothing more than a trap to kill those who dare to enter and take it.

With that in mind, Riya stood up and swiftly took the special magic core before running out.

Even though the formation would not be activated instantly, it would still be faster than when the counter was 0.

She had to run.

"Mo! Now!"

*Roar!* <Yes!>

Riya jumped on Mo's back as he galloped across the tunnels. It took a few minutes before Riya could feel the ground rumbling and she shivered for a moment. Turning her head to look at the dense magic beasts that came out and some of them suddenly got pulled to the back, Riya swallowed her saliva.

It seemed that she had to make sure Mo is strong enough next time.

Swish!

Riya tossed a plate out to block these magic beasts from chasing after her and to block the pulling mechanisms from the formation.

Thankfully, the pulling power didn't seem to be that strong.

But…

*roar* <Master, I can't move forward easily anymore.>

Mo was trembling because he could feel that he was about to be pulled to the back. His legs felt heavy and he was struggling to go forward.

"Go inside."

Riya saw Mo trembling and knew that Mo's rank was too low to fight back against the mechanism. She simply put Mo into her space and then started to run.

At this moment, Riya was glad that her physical strength had increased to be comparable to rank 2 magic warrior.

Otherwise, she might not be able to run in this tunnel in the slightest bit.

Riya also activated some defensive formation plate that she had prepared before, which would make her body lighter.

Still…

*rumbling*

The earthquake got bigger and Riya kept on running as fast as possible. There was still some distance from the crack entrance that was closest to this place.

Bang!

*roar!*

Seeing several magic beasts coming down from the other direction, Riya was stunned and she quickly raised another formation plate.

Swish! Bang! Bang!

The moment these magic beasts hit her, they would be bounced off by equivalent force and then Riya bypassed them easily. If it was any other time, she would take her time to kill them.

But this was too close!

The suction power was getting stronger and stronger.

These fallen magic beasts were also being pulled back.

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Swish! Bang!

Seeing a group of shadow creature coming out, Riya's lips twitched.

Did she accidentally come into the lair of these shadow creature? And looking at these shadow creature, they were all rank 3.

Oh, one of them was already rank 4.

Swish! Swish!

These shadow creatures didn't hesitate when they saw Riya and quickly rushed forward to attack her.

Riya clicked her tongue and raised the defensive formation plate.

"Haste."

"Arrow tracking formation magic."

Several arrows were formed and headed towards these magic creatures. The rank 3 shadow creature couldn't fight back because the formation magic spell's strength was equivalent to rank 3. But the rank 4 shadow creature avoided the magic perfectly.

Riya looked at the rank 4 shadow creature and her eyes narrowed slightly.

*roar!*

Swish! Swish!

The remaining shadow creature rushed to entangle her, blocking her view from the rank 4 shadow creature. Seeing that they started to use their dark element, Riya guessed that they wanted to run away after knowing that they couldn't beat her.

But how could she let them off easily.

Her finger moved and more formation runes formed in front of her while the defensive formation plate was still working.

"Spears tracking formation magic."

Swish!

The magic power was several times the previous ones and several rank 3 shadow creatures died instantly.

The magic rushed towards the rank 4 shadow magic creature.

*screeech!*

Bang!

As the rank 4 shadow creatures died, it screech loudly with the dark element imbued.

"Damn it. It's a bat like shadow creature."

Riya quickly tossed these magic beast's corpses into her world where time was frozen and then ran quickly.

But in just a few seconds, countless more bat like shadow creature rushed towards her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

They clashed into her defensive shield as Riya continued to run, trying her best not to entangle with them.

"Lightning Storm Strike!"

Boom!
