Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 490

Riya: "…"

For some reasons, Riya felt that the thoughts of the government was very similar to Samuel in this regards.

They couldn't control the returnees and if these returnees were to fight against each other, the battle would definitely be very intense.

So the government policies were to pull them into their group if they were useful and their abilities were not harmful to the environment. For example, her, Samuel, Peter, and Ruth. She didn't know if there were anyone else.

But if their abilities were a bit questionable, then their support would be more limited like Dina and Murin.

Well, Dina was an independent force.

But Murin is still backed by the Magic Association, so it would be harder for them to limit his growth.

This was not Riya's business.

Anyway, everyone was doing their best to grow stronger in their own way and Riya herself was not an exception. She also become stronger and learned many things through her own practice coupled with her runes and formation.

She was using the government and they were also using her.

It was a good thing for both sides.

"I think you also didn't make a move when you have the chance?" Samuel asked back. He remembered that Riya is also a returnee and when Murin first made trouble, she was already in City A Base.

If Riya truly wanted to, she could actually stop him.

"Well, I'm worried that he will have parasite type of magic beasts," Riya said helplessly. "You know very well that Murin can contract with more magic beasts compared to others. Even though his physical strength is weaker, but as long as his mana is sufficient, his rank will be determined by the amount of mana he has."

So if Murin is of rank 2… then he have 4 magic beasts.

At that time, Murin had only shown two magic beasts, but Riya's instinct told her that there might be the third and fourth magic beasts that Murin hadn't shown.

Murin came to Samuel in order to kill the other party.

It should be a grudge from that world that Riya was not aware of.

So Murin should have some hole cards that he was not willing to show to others and knowing Murin's ability… his best hold card would be his magic beasts. The higher the number of his magic beasts and all, the more confident he would be.

At that time, Murin didn't entangle with Samuel.

And Riya's means of long distance attack was limited.

Moreover… a parasite type of magic beasts were really troublesome.

"… I didn't think that much." Samuel froze and then frowned. "But we haven't encountered any parasite magic beasts so far during our exploration in the crack."

"That's true, but it's not something I know at that time." Riya shrugged.

She was used to be cautious and would not make a move unless she was sure. After all, she didn't have such an outrageous attack power nor extremely strong defense that could make sure that she would survive if she were to receive powerful attack.

Her best ability would be in her variety of runes and formation.
