Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 878

Capítulo 878: Within the Crack (4)

Boom!

Rocks and gravels flew up following Samuel’s movement and then they heard the roaring of the magic beasts.

Their eyes swiftly moved towards the location where they heard the commotion.

Amidst the dust that covered one’s eyes, they could faintly see the silhouette of a large ball magic beats rushing over. It climbed up from the ground and something approached them before Samuel stepped forward with the sword in his hand, blocking the sudden attack.

Bang!

“What the hell is that?”

“It’s a rank 7 ground ball magic beast,” Ruth said as she moved away, recognizing the magic beast that attacked them and pursed her lips.

This is troublesome.

A rank 7 ground ball magic beast was known for its high defense and also the annoying escape technique. Among many magic beasts in that world, this was one of the few that was hated by the people.

Because the rank 7 ground ball magic beast often destroyed farm fields.

It was their hobby.

And many people who had worked hard to tile the ground and planted the crops were definitely very angry.

They needed to eat but these rank 7 ground ball magic beasts just had to come forward and made trouble.

How could they not be angry?

Unfortunately, most farmers were weaker.

They couldn’t reach rank 7 without enough resources and many of them were not capable enough. Otherwise, they would have picked other work instead of being a farmer who was busy working on the field.

So they could only file a commission.

The price they could give was not high, but the corpse of a rank 7 ground ball magic beast was still very valuable.

Because their high defense meant that their skin could be used for armor.

“Get away from here!”

Swish! Bang!

The rank 7 ground ball magic beast rolled over and nearly crashed on them, but it was blocked and deflected to the side, rolling on the ground even further.

Ruth breathed a sigh of relief.

At the critical moment, she used her arrow to deflect the rolling movement of the rank 7 ground ball magic beast to avoid hitting them and the soldiers behind her. After all, the rank 7 ground ball magic beast’s main attack method was to roll on the ground and crashed on them.

It was very annoying.

Jonas Nolan’s eyes were red when he saw this.

“No! The herbs! Damn you!” Jonas Nolan cursed.

It was rare for him to see so many herbs in the same place, but this rank 7 ground ball magic beast was instead busy destroying these herbs.

How could he accept it?

Jonas Nolan sneered and took out a few potions. He handed it over to Ruth. “Help me deal with that rank 7 ground ball magic beast.”

For a farmer, the rank 7 ground ball magic beast was the most hated magic beast among many other magic beasts in that world. There were also a few other pests that were equally annoying, but in terms of destructive power, the rank 7 ground ball magic beast definitely ranked among top 3!

How unlucky is he to see a rank 7 ground ball magic beast here?

“There’s no need.” Ruth shook her head. Just now, she used an arrow, but she knew very well that her attack was not enough to pierce through the defense of this rank 7 ground ball magic beast.

‘Even after reaching rank 7, my attack power is still not strong enough.’

An archer should have strong penetrating power, but Ruth could sense that her arrows lacked it all.

She looked at her hand thoughtfully and felt that she should do something to help herself. At the very least, Ruth didn’t want to stay at the bottom for the rest of her life but to have a strong point for herself.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to survive.

Rather than becoming a jack of all trades but master of none, she should focus on one aspect.

Swish! Bang!

At this moment, Riya was still fighting against the large batch of rank 7 flying magic beasts on the sky. She noticed the movement on the ground and frowned.

‘Eye of sight.’

Increasing her sight temporarily, Riya saw the rank 7 ground ball magic beast and understood why there was such a commotion below. This rank 7 ground ball magic beast was really hard to deal with because of their high defense.

Speaking of high defense…

Why does the magic beasts they encountered one after another all had strong defense?

The stronger magic beasts were coming out one after another and Riya sighed to herself.

It was outrageous.

These magic beasts could only be dealt with by Samuel.

Otherwise, other people’s attack wouldn’t be able to break through their defense and cause their injury.

Or rather…

Even if they could attack these magic beasts, their attacks would be ineffective.

Swish! Bang!

Moving slightly to the side, Riya avoided the attack of these rank 7 flying magic beasts and her eyes narrowed slightly. The Protective Rune Circle at rank 7 was modified further to allow her to fight in close range without exhausting the Protective Rune Circle’s mana.

When she was at lower ranks, it was harder to compress the Protective Rune Circle to let it only activate when the attack was about to hit her.

There was a certain distance around her where the attack that she could narrowly avoided will still active the protective mechanism.

This is pure waste of mana.

Unfortunately, even with her high control of mana, Riya was still not able to modify the lower ranked Protective Rune Circle to be more effective unless she increased the mana consumption. In that case, her Protective Rune Circle would need mana infusion from time to time.

That would be a hassle and Riya might not have enough mana to spare to maintain the Protective Rune Circle when she was busy fighting against these magic beasts.

So she rejected the notion.

*Screech*
