Runemaster in the Last Days

Riya was not a professional weapon designer anyway and being able to modify the handgun at the beginning was already the limit of what she could do. She didn't really expect herself to be able to make more types.

If there were others who could do it, then she would be thankful to them.

"Yes!"

The soldiers who were already rank 4 to rank 5 mages or magic warriors quickly stepped forward and used the special guns to deal with these rank 7 magic beasts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Unfortunately, the defense of these magic beasts were simply too high.

Their attacks, if it couldn't hit the precise weak point of these magic beasts, would amount to nothing.

"Damn it!"

"Ahhh!"

Seeing that the magic beast had climbed up the corpses, the soldiers at the forefront quickly raised their weapon. But the power of the rank 7 magic beasts was too much as they were knocked back instantly, screaming as they fell down or got pushed back to their teammates.

"Tsk." Ruth clicked her tongue and readied her bow and arrows when she saw the rank 7 magic beasts were already so close.

Close ranged battle was not her expertise but it didn't mean that she was weak. She simply didn't like it because she was not strong at it.

"Don't get close here!" The soldiers around quickly rushed over to the rank 7 magic beasts without hesitation.

They raised their weapon, be it gun, sword, or knife to hack down the magic beasts and hold it back as much as possible.

"You…" Ruth looked at this scene and was stunned for a moment.

It was not like this is the first time Ruth fight with the people from City J Base and the soldiers who were stationed here. After all, they have fought against a lot of magic beasts in the past year and it was impossible for Ruth not to fight alongside them.

But this was the first time Ruth saw them fight so desperately.

After all, they never faced against rank 7 magic beasts before nor do they fought a battle that they had to win.

In the previous magic beasts' tide, Samuel and Peter basically took almost all of the limelight. The magic beasts were too busy targeting the two of them that they completely forgot about the other returnees.

This allowed Ruth to stay on the platform safely and simply killed the few stronger magic beasts that was approaching City J Base at that time.

But this time…

City J Base had to rely on her.

So these soldiers didn't hesitate and used their own lives to buy more time for Ruth so that she could kill these rank 7 magic beasts.

"You're really stupid…" Ruth looked at these people and felt a bit emotional for a moment.

In that world, Ruth had also faced the great magic beasts' tide along with her comrades and friends who traveled together. But at the last moment when the great magic beasts' tide reached their place and Ruth wanted to retreat, what awaited her was nothing more than her friends abandoning her without hesitation.

With her weak close combat abilities, she was quickly surrounded by the rank 7 magic beasts and couldn't do anything but watched as her body was torn apart by the magic beasts and died miserably.

Of course, she also saw that those people died one after another from the magic beasts' claw.

The great magic beasts' tide was called that way for a reason.

And even until her death in that world, Ruth couldn't see any hope of winning. There were too many magic beasts and it seemed as if the entire world was about to be overrun and ruled by the magic beasts.

It was really miserable.

Coming to this world, Ruth didn't have much expectation for other people.

But perhaps, soldiers were special.

From the moment they chose to wear that uniform, they were prepared to sacrifice their lives at any time and at any moment for the sake of the people and nation behind them. Even if it meant that their lives have to end at the most promising moment when they should have a bright future, they were willing to do so.

All nations should be the same.

Ruth looked at these soldiers and then moved her eyes to the rank 7 magic beasts that came to her.

"You're really…." Ruth murmured in a low voice and mana surged once more as several arrows were formed on her bow.

Swish! Jleb! Jleb!

*roar!*

These magic beasts were unable to get closer to Ruth because of the soldiers' obstruction and the next moment, what awaited them was nothing more than the attack from Ruth.

An attack that was more than enough to kill these rank 7 magic beasts.

*cough*

Ruth coughed and frowned as she quickly took more of the roasted magic beast's heart to eat. She has exhausted her mana and it would be better for her to rest. But with so many magic beasts around her… could she possibly rest?

She can run, yes.

After all, Ruth is a magic warrior and she has reached rank 6. Moreover as a specialized archer, Ruth was also very good at running away. Unless she was exhausted or anything like that, she could easily run away from the range of these rank 7 magic beasts.

This was one of the reasons why she dared to enter the crack and explored the periphery.

While she didn't dare to go too deep, she still managed to kill a lot of magic beasts back then.

Now that these magic beasts were close to her, Ruth could run away if she wanted to.

But….

"That's great, Miss Ruth!" The soldiers cheered and then quickly helped their comrade who were injured so that they could receive treatment. Some of them have sad expression because it was impossible to save some people, but the rest still gritted their teeth and continued their battle in orderly manner.

Their battles are not over yet.
