Runemaster in the Last Days

It was beautiful.

This was the only thing that Samuel could think when he watched the formation that was activated by Riya.

Putting aside the bloody formation outside the gym that was responsible for protecting Riya's safety, the formation inside the gym was exactly the type that would definitely attract people's attention.

Simply because it shine beautifully and brilliantly.

It was nothing short of the word performance.

Samuel kept quiet and looked at Riya in the middle of the formation. He could sense the mana around was slowly but surely surging towards Riya. .

Riya could sense that the mana in her surroundings started to move towards her. Some of the mana were absorbed into her body, which would help to strengthen her body to a certain degree through the formation in her heart.

The amount of mana was a bit too much and Riya could feel her muscles screaming. As a mage, their physical bodies have always been their weakness and the 'cheat' that Riya made for herself was not exactly the best.

It could only make sure that she still has a certain degree of defense when facing other magic warriors.

And right now, Riya had no time to pay attention.

She could only pay attention to her own mana heart.

The process of breakthrough would last for a few hours at the very least.

During this period of time, it could be said that a mage was at their weakest point. Some people would use potion to help them advance but since there was no potion… Well, there was no doubt that they had to rely on themselves.

Riya knew that there was an alchemist in the Green Planet, but she was not sure which side that alchemist is on.

Besides, can she trust the potion made by someone she didn't know?

Even Samuel had to stay outside of the formation because she couldn't fully trust him. Much less the alchemist whom she didn't know and had never met before.

And in this process of condensing her mana heart, Riya could sense that the surroundings had started to change. The mana that was gathered inside the gym room was decreasing at the speed visible to the naked eyes.

It seemed as if there was a strong suction power coming from Riya.

The mana gathered into her body.

And the runes were medium that Riya used to guide the mana into her body along with the golden colored runes that was dancing around the room.

After swirling around, the runes rushed towards Riya, entering her body through her hands.

It was amazing.

Samuel watched as dense runes drawings appeared on Riya's hand slowly extending towards other part of her body. He guessed that there would be runes marking all over Riya's body by the time she was done.

But since Riya is wearing clothes, he couldn't see it.

Not that he wanted to see it…

*cough*

The mana disturbance even reached outside the gym. The formation that Riya made was not enough to completely cover up the movement made by her advancement.

Samuel glanced out and saw that the mana in the air started to distort.

Yes, distort.

Because the mana was forcefully pulled by Riya and the movement was relatively violent. The areas around the gym was slowly but surely got affected and they could even see faint distortion in the air.

To be honest, it does look a bit creepy.

But Samuel was calm.

This was not the first time he saw mana distortion.

'But the movement is indeed a bit too big.' Samuel rubbed his forehead.

It couldn't be helped.

In that world, there was some special places dedicated for these people for their advancement ceremony. There were various formations and protection that they had set up so that the disturbance would be limited to a certain degree.

Those formations were all above rank 7 and could certainly protect them.

No matter how noisy they were, no one outside could disturb them.

Various families also have their own special advancement ceremony's place where they would be protected and the disturbance caused by the ceremony would never be noticed by others.

But in this world?

The Green Planet didn't even have that much mana in the first place and it was unlikely that the amount would increase significantly anytime soon.

Most of their mana source came from the magic beasts' corpses that died or through the leak from the crack. Samuel was not sure about the principle of the formation, but he knew that the mana concentration in the Green Planet was not that bad.

Well, compared to their previous world, it was far worse.

But it should be enough for them to start practicing compared to before the earthquake happened.

And now, Riya was violently taking the mana.

There was no doubt that the disturbance will be very big and many people would know about it.

The Green Planet is about to welcome the first rank 7 magician.

Swish!

The mana around Riya surged as she continued to compress her mana heart.

It spread further and further with Riya's progress.

1 meter, 2 meter, 10 meters, 30 meters…

To a certain degree, the larger the distance of the mana disturbance, the greater one's potential and ability. This was something that was known by many people, but the degree of disturbance has never been made clear.

After all, everything was suppressed by the formation.

Only the rune masters would know how it is through looking at the impact on their formation.

*rumble*

The mana distortion was not only to the side but also to the sky and the ground.

Mana is essentially the energy of the nature.

And because of Riya's action, the nature was disturbed and a storm was brewing.

The previously clear night sky turned dark.

Clouds gathered and lighting was flashing from time to time.

There was great contrast between the scenes within the gym and the scenes outside the gym. It was as if the world was split apart into two completely different scenes.
