Runemaster in the Last Days
Chapter 486 - 486: Delicate Balance

"Oh…" Sophia wilted when she heard Amelia's answer.

And here she thought that she could talk with Riya about her new magic beast.

"Don't worry, I don't think that they will go for a long time this time," Amelia consoled. She heard that her brother and Riya went out for revenge this time and it shouldn't take them that long to leave this time.

In the past few months, Riya had already returned to the formation two more times and took the special magic cores there. She used them all for herself, allowing her to advance to rank 6 a few months ago.

After that, Riya didn't dare to take it anymore.

The change of the formation was not a joke and Riya didn't want to bet with her life for the resources that she didn't need that much anymore.

Instead, she was targeting the other magic beasts of rank 6 around the area and went down to hunt them with Samuel. She needed the blood of these magic beasts for her formation and then the meat would be handed over to Samuel to eat.

In this way, the two of them had advanced to rank 6 for a few months.

In the past two to three months, the two of them still maintained this state of hunting magic beasts and both of them had reached the late stage of rank 6.

To be able to reach this rank before two years have passed ever since their return from that world, it could be said that their abilities were really extraordinary.

Of course, their effort to kill magic beasts also made most magic beasts in this place extinct.

Only some rank 7 magic beasts were left.

The two of them chose not to provoke them.

Moreover, Riya and Samuel also made a discovery that amazed them.

There were no magic beasts higher than rank 7 in the crack.

"Why do you think is this?" Samuel asked during one of their usual conversation.

Riya looked at Samuel and shook her head. "I don't know for sure but it might be because this is not the main core of the formation, so the strength of the magic beasts are not very strong."

Not the main core?

After being educated by Riya, Samuel basically knew more about the formation and also the fact that the location of the other formations were really far away from each other.

It was more or less in the shape of arrows with triangle in each end.

They were the one in the middle.

The other end was near the place where the alchemist, Jonas Nolan, was located. The other one was located in City J's area where Ruth and Dina were located.

Based on the fact that these two people often entered the crack, Samuel and Riya guessed that the two of them should have known about the formation and took the special magic core for themselves.

Yes, special magic core could be used by magic warrior.

Riya asked whether Samuel wanted it or not but he chose not to take it and handed it over to Riya. Because Samuel's own training meditation technique was already very fast and the magic beasts' meat that he ate so far had helped him to become stronger and also allowed his mana to increase rapidly.

The speed of progress for both his physical strength and mana were more or less equal or balanced.

For Samuel, it would be the best for him not to change this delicate balance.

Because for a magic warrior, having one stronger than the other meant that they have an obvious weakness.

Because of this, Riya used those three special magic cores for herself, which allowed her to advance faster. The only disadvantage was that she had a flower mark on her chest that was very obvious.

Thankfully, the location was hidden.

No one should be able to see it.

The two of them advanced quickly and managed to reach the late stage of rank 6 before two years have passed ever since their return. This was already very remarkable and they were already making their preparation to advance to rank 7.

Because what they needed were very different.

For this reason, Samuel specifically search for various mines in the crack and managed to find some. He would take most of them to be used to strengthen his sword and then the rest would be handed over to the researchers.

Once they have made the useful metal, he would ask Riya what parts she wanted.

It was also worth mentioning that Riya's research over various weapons had produced result. The weapons that she made for herself and the others made those researchers ashamed.

And no one could replicate it.

Because Riya was using runes and formation to make these weapons produced the special effect.

The military even ordered a lot of weapons from her.

Of course, they made the parts and Riya only needed to add the runes before handing it over back to them.

In exchange, Riya could get a lot of magic beasts' core.

Riya has become very rich in the past year.

From various dealings she made with Samuel to the other dealings she made with the higher ups, everything seemed to be giving Riya more and more resources.

Those who knew would definitely be green in envy.

But they also knew that it was impossible to repeat Riya's move.

After all, they didn't have her ability.

They could only stare with jealousy and envy, sighing that it was truly luck and ability for Riya to be able to do so much.

Though, Riya really wanted to cry if she heard their words.

Rich?

All of the money that she earned had to be spent again the next moment!

After all, she directed exchanged everything for reproduces and it would not take long for them to be consumed again and again.

So if someone said that she's rich, Riya really wanted to tell them that it was not true. She was basically investing in herself over and over again to the point that her heart was already bleeding.

A rune master truly consumed a lot of resources.
