Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 464: Against the Lich

Slash!

Samuel swung his sword and killed another skeleton. He also knew that they couldn't last long like this.

His eyes moved towards the Protective Rune Circle around Riya thoughtfully.

So far, Riya basically didn't do anything but stood there, letting the skeleton destroyed themselves after attacking her. After all, the Protective Rune Circle around Riya was more than enough to kill these lower ranked summons. freewebnσvel.cøm

Even though the two of them called these summons lower ranked, they were actually still rank 3.

So if it was anyone other than the returnees who came here at this point of time… they would only send themselves to their own death.

"Can your Protective Rune Circle protect others?" Samuel suddenly asked.

Riya heard Samuel's words and looked at the man speechlessly. "I'm not going to give you permission to enter my Protective Rune Circle."

That's a big no.

Even in that world, no rune master would allow anyone to enter their Protective Rune Circle easily. The exception belonged to their wife or husband or someone whom they could trust with their own life.

Otherwise, they would only put themselves in danger.

While Riya trusted Samuel, it was not to the point where she would trust her life in his hand.

"No, I mean, let you make a temporary Protective Rune Circle for me." Samuel also knew that it would be impossible for him to let Riya allowed him to join her circle. The rule for these rune masters were clear for Samuel and he had known about those things from the elders in that world.

But what he wanted was to let Riya created a Protective Rune Circle for him.

This will allow him to go out and didn't have to care about his defense. After all, his counterattack shield would consume his mana and he didn't have that much mana.

"That…" Riya thought for a moment and nodded. "I can make the simplified one for you."

"Great."

"Come here."

Samuel stood in front of Riya as she raised her finger and runes started to appear from the tip of her finger until it circled Samuel completely. The process lasted for 4 seconds and during this time, the magic beasts that came along with the skeletons were killed by Riya's Protective Rune Circle.

"Done."

In the past month when they were traveling in this crack, Riya has been practicing her rune drawing skills. She made sure that her fingers were able to move faster and concentrate whenever she drew the formation.

Through this method, Riya was getting faster and faster when making the runes.

Samuel, who watched Riya's progress, was amazed.

He didn't know how Riya was able to draw hundreds or even thousands of runes in one second. In any case, he would never be able to do that.

His finger was not as fast as her.

Samuel also saw how Riya practiced, which was to draw formation and runes over and over again to familiarize herself with various runes.

With them having to fight a lot of magic beasts, these runes were also very useful.

"Good." Samuel grinned and turned around, launching himself into the sea of skeletons and rushed over towards the lich in the distance.

Riya looked at Samuel's move and pursed her lips slightly.

While Samuel was watching Riya's progress in the past month, Riya also watched Samuel's progress and she was equally amazed.

Because Riya could see that Samuel's attack power increased so much that it was several times his attack power in the beginning. Seeing how he easily cut off the rank 5 magic beasts after two weeks… Riya felt that the reputation of Samuel being invincible of the same rank was really true.

Even she started to feel that her defense was simply not enough to face him.

So she had to be one small rank higher at the very least!

For this, Riya felt more motivated to train and increase her strength.

Anyway, if Samuel were to ask her to fight against him in a spar again, she would refuse. She didn't want to be hacked to death by his sword.

It was too terrifying.

Fighting against Peter didn't seem to be so scary.

Then again, Riya didn't know if Peter had advanced too since he should be practicing out there.

Swish!

Samuel rushed over towards the lich directly and the larger skeleton immediately came towards him.

Riya saw that and raised her hand.

'Light arrow tracking formation magic.'

Several lights appeared from the formation circle in front of her and shoot towards these skeletons.

Crack!

The moment it hit, these skeletons either fell down or have a lot of cracks on their bodies.

It was light element.

Samuel saw that and didn't attack these skeletons and instead looked at the lich in the distance. He poured his mana into his sword, filling it with the lightning element and then he roared as he swung his sword.

"Great Lightning Storm Strike!"

BOOM!

Lightning strike down from Samuel's swords towards the lich.

The few skeletons around it has been attacked by Riya's light element magic, basically cleaning them all out so that the lich didn't have anyone to defend.

The lich raised the skeleton shield in front of him, but it was split into two instantly.

Peng!

Lightning crackled and large hole was formed on the ground.

Samuel panted and quickly got away from his place as several skeleton's hands appeared from under the ground. Seeing the human like hands, Samuel frowned slightly.

How many people had died under the lich?

It was common knowledge for them to know that any enemies who fall to the lich could be transformed to be part of his power.

It was precisely because of this that many people hated lich so much and also afraid of him.

Crack! Crack!

"It's not dead yet." Samuel's expression changed when he saw the intact lich in front of him. He felt his sword trembled, warning him of the danger he would face.

Swish! BOOOM!
