Runemaster in the Last Days

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The battle in City J Base continued.

From the time Dina left until now, a few hours have passed and Ruth was barely conscious. She was stuffing the meat mechanically into her mouth and when more rank 7 magic beasts came over, she raised her bow and arrows.

Swish!

Seeing the arrow miss, Ruth took a deep breath and frowned.

She's tired.

Every part of her body was screaming for her to rest.

But Ruth knew very well that if she dared to rest, these people would have to face these rank 7 magic beasts that they could's possibly kill.

In the process, there would be many people dying.

'Just a bit more,' Ruth thought to herself.

It was dawn and the light allowed these soldiers to have more advantage when fighting against the magic beasts.

But the large number of magic beasts still made people desperate.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"I see that the number of magic beasts had decreased!"

"They're no longer coming out!"

No one knew who shouted but the moment the soldiers heard this, they seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. Everyone was getting more excited as they continued to shoot these magic beasts as much as possible.

Ruth also raised her head and swept her gaze across the magic beasts. Seeing that there were no more rank 7 magic beasts, Ruth heaved a sigh of relief.

But she didn't dare to relax completely and watched as the soldiers continued to kill these magic beasts one by one.

Soon, only a few scattered magic beasts were left.

Ruth saw this and smiled faintly. The taut string and the tense feeling in her brain completely disappeared at this moment and she fell down.

Tmp!

The soldier who protected Ruth quickly caught the other party before she could fall down. He looked at the tired woman with distress and respect. Staying beside Ruth all the time, he could see how she continued to kill more and more rank 7 magic beasts even when she could barely stand straight.

For a rank 6 magic warrior, it was extremely tiring for her to launch attack to kill magic beast one rank higher than her.

Ruth herself might not notice it, but she had already reached the peak of rank 6.

The process of her killing these rank 7 magic beasts was arduous and difficult. It was unknown how many times, Ruth wanted to sleep and stopped replenishing her mana and stamina.

Even though so, her spirit was very tired.

So tired that Ruth felt that she just wanted to sleep.

Her endurance and battle capabilities were definitely weaker than Samuel and Riya who had already reached rank 7 and could fight for much longer. Even though they also had to fight repeatedly, but Ruth's mental strength was far weaker than these two people.

This made her almost unable to hold on when it was dawn.

"Sir…"

"Ssh, let her sleep," the soldier who protected Ruth said and carried the woman away. "She might be from a different continent, but right now, we have the same enemy and she fought for humanity. This reason alone is more than enough for us to give her more respect and care."

"Yes, sir!"

The other soldiers said nothing as he carried Ruth to the resting area.

They all have watched how Ruth repeatedly killed those rank 7 magic beasts in the battle and were in awe. Putting aside the fact that they were also tired when fighting the magic beasts, they could take turn with their comrades so that they could fight in full power.

But Ruth couldn't.

Each and every single one of these returnees who chose to fight until the very end basically bet everything so that they could win the battle.

They were all worthy of respect.

Of course, these soldiers didn't know that there were also returnees who didn't care about the people and chose to retreat on their own. For these people, they couldn't say anything.

Not even condemnation.

Because they understood that it is their choices and none of them is obligated to care about other people.

Caring for other people is a choice after all.

"Why are there no more magic beasts coming?" One of the soldiers who still has some strength asked in a low voice.

These rank 7 magic beasts also stopped coming over as if something was blocking their path. This made these soldiers a bit curious but after a while, none of them thought too much.

…

Not far away from City J Base.

Splash! Splash!

Dina looked at the large number of rank 7 magic beasts' corpses in front of her and smiled weirdly. There was a large pool of blood in front of her, forming the shape of a net and completely enclosed the crack.

"What a perfect net," Dina whispered in a low voice and chuckled.

After leaving City J Base, Dina found a secluded place and started her advancement ceremony.

She's a demonic magician.

And what she needed… is the large amount of blood and corpses of these magic beasts. So she simply found a place like that and sat in the middle after setting up some basic protection.

After an hour, she compressed her mana heart and then drank the blood essence that she had prepared.

Feeling that it was not enough, Dina simply headed to the crack and killed these rank 7 magic beasts to get their blood essence. It took her a few hours before she was satisfied and then used her magic to block the entrance of the crack.

This blocking was different from Riya where she set up a formation and could leave far away.

Dina has to stay here if she didn't want this magic to fail.

"It's going to be boring to stay here all the time," Dina murmured as she sat down beside the crack. "But if I can get a lot of rank 7 magic beasts, I should be able to get a lot of blood essence, right?"
