Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 381

Rune master was indeed a profession that eat a lot of money.

Not mentioning the resources that they could obtain through hunting magic beasts, there were also many materials that they needed to form formation and so on. It was only through accumulation would they become more powerful.

To be exact, all professions will have accumulation.

But the rune master was somewhat special in a way that as long as they have enough money, they could technically be invincible in battles.

No one would be able to harm them in the slightest bit.

The main reason was naturally because rune master could prepare sets of formation plate that would trigger in some situation. In this way, they only needed to throw whatever they have prepared before in battle.

And any protracted battle would only result in their win.

Their opponent would have long exhausted their mana but they still have a stack of magic scrolls that they hadn't used yet.

But there was also weakness.

The rune master would not fight against other magicians, magic warriors, or even warrior on the arena. Because most of the time, their set of formation that they have prepared were not allowed to be used.

Asking them to fight with their bare skills directly?

These rune masters were clearly unwilling.

On their way back, Riya was teaching Ruben the few rank 1 magic scrolls that she taught him. These were the common magic scrolls that were more likely to be used during this period of time and also quite easy to make.

First was rank 1 shield.

It can create a shield around them for 3 seconds, protecting them from the attack that was not any higher than a rank 1 magic beast. This was quite tasteless for most magic warriors who had reached rank 2, but for those below it, they would definitely need it.

Ruben himself made a lot to protect himself.

Riya told him that using several at once would create a few layer of shields around him. Stacking several of them would be able to block a rank 2 magic beasts' attack.

This is clearly a live saving item!

Second was a rank 1 element arrow.

The arrow could attack the designated opponent with elemental arrow. And the element would have to depend on what element the rune master infused into the magic scroll.

Considering that Ruben has dark element, the element he could infuse is dark element, so the result would be dark elemental arrow.

The piercing power was quite considerable and at the very least, it could kill rank 1 magic beast.

Ruben had used several of them in the battle.

"But I need to use two or three to kill a rank 1 magic beast," Ruben asked doubtfully. For higher ranked magic beast, he knew that it was impossible to only use one, but for rank 1 magic beast, it should only need one, right?

"That's because when you use the magic scroll, you need to think about where you aim the attack. The magic will not attack the weakness automatically and need to be guided. If you didn't guide it, then it will attack the part that's easier to hit.

Moreover, the quality of your magic scroll need to be improved. There's leakage of mana, which will decrease the magic scroll power."
