Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 325

It took Riya more than an hour to finish studying this time.

Most of them were exactly the same as what she had remembered.

As for the few others, she tried to combine these formations to understand their function better and noticed the limit.

The limit that this formation set.

"…Is it really rare for magic beasts to come here and take the special magic core or is it because these formations had only been formed some time before the earthquake happened?" Riya murmured in a low voice to herself.

Because she knew that these magic beasts should have been attracted by these special magic cores.

Why would they leave these special magic cores be?

Unless there was another reason why they couldn't take it before.

Something…

But Riya didn't know what it is.

'Is it a barrier or something like that?'

The problem is, if there was truly a barrier, there should be some mechanism left. If it was made with runes, she might be able to figure it out.

But if it was made with magic tools…

Ehem.

Some magic tools didn't use runes and if the mana was already exhausted, there was no way Riya could detect it from among the ruins.

She chose not to think too much.

Instead, she studied the numbering mechanism and after some time, she found the trigger.

It was number 3.

Because for these formations to be activated directly, the runes number three and above would be able to connect to a different formation, which would prompt the killing formation to be activated directly.

But from number 2 to number 3, it would not change directly after the special magic core was taken away.

Riya smiled faintly.

"So it's three times."

Once the special magic core has been taken three times by others, this place would be nothing more than a trap to kill those who dare to enter and take it.

With that in mind, Riya stood up and swiftly took the special magic core before running out.

Even though the formation would not be activated instantly, it would still be faster than when the counter was 0.

She had to run.

"Mo! Now!"

*Roar!* <Yes!>

Riya jumped on Mo's back as he galloped across the tunnels. It took a few minutes before Riya could feel the ground rumbling and she shivered for a moment. Turning her head to look at the dense magic beasts that came out and some of them suddenly got pulled to the back, Riya swallowed her saliva.

It seemed that she had to make sure Mo is strong enough next time.

Swish!

Riya tossed a plate out to block these magic beasts from chasing after her and to block the pulling mechanisms from the formation.

Thankfully, the pulling power didn't seem to be that strong.

But…

*roar* <Master, I can't move forward easily anymore.>

Mo was trembling because he could feel that he was about to be pulled to the back. His legs felt heavy and he was struggling to go forward.

"Go inside."

Riya saw Mo trembling and knew that Mo's rank was too low to fight back against the mechanism. She simply put Mo into her space and then started to run.

At this moment, Riya was glad that her physical strength had increased to be comparable to rank 2 magic warrior.

Otherwise, she might not be able to run in this tunnel in the slightest bit.

Riya also activated some defensive formation plate that she had prepared before, which would make her body lighter.

Oh, one of them was already rank 4. _{freёweɓnovel.com}
