Runemaster in the Last Days

Even if he wanted to, he would need other people's help to do it.

Samuel knew some people with light element in that world, but they have passed away.

The great magic beast tide… basically killed everyone whom he knew and buried the entire world along with it.

"I can," Riya said with a grin. "If I were to disguise myself, can you find me, Samuel~?"

Hearing her playful lightened tone at the end of her sentence, Samuel arched his eyebrows and smiled faintly. "I can sense you through your mana signature and your aura. It wouldn't be so easy to hide your breath completely in front of a magic warrior, Little Riya."

Riya was stunned and then her cheek reddened slightly. "How do you know that nickname?"

Only Amelia would use that nickname from time to time in private. She felt a bit embarrassed to be called little when she was already an adult, but Amelia insisted.

So she could only agree with the other party.

The premise was to call it in private.

"I heard it from Amelia," Samuel admitted frankly. "When she calls you, she often calls you out with that name while hopping around the house."

Riya: "…"

She could totally imagine Amelia did that.

But really…

Riya rubbed her cheek with some embarrassment. "Don't use that nickname in public."

"Then in private?" As he spoke, Samuel had leaned closer to Riya's ear, his breath felt hot on her skin.

This posture made Riya's body stiff and her brain shutting down. She has been single for so many years and didn't have any experience in such a thing. Even though Samuel did tease her a bit when they were traveling together in the crack in the past, he would still keep his distance and never truly did anything too much.

After all, the two of them were actually wary of each other in the beginning.

Both of them were returnees and have seen too much in that world. A completely different world where resources were placed at the most important place while human lives were treated as worthless things.

So many people died just because they have more resources.

It was far more lawless.

The threat of the magic beasts couldn't stop the fighting of these people who lived at the bottom in the slightest bit.

Only the great magic beast tide seemed to have woken them up from the dream of peace that they had. They thought that their biggest enemy was their competitors but they forgot that there were many magic beasts eyeing them.

In the end, none of them survived.

"You…"

Bang!

Hearing the sound, the two people quickly moved towards the window to check the situation outside. Riya's eyes narrowed when she saw the flying magic beasts outside.

"Corpse Eater Flying Magic Beast," Riya spat out.

After seeing so many magic beasts, she never thought that she would see these corpse eater flying magic beast. These corpse eater flying magic beast were known for the fact that they liked eating corpses, especially the decayed one.

In a way, they were quite similar to the corpse eating bird that existed in the Green Planet. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel·fire.net

But those birds were usually found in desert, so not many people know about them.

"There had to be a pile of corpses nearby…" Samuel's expression was not very good. The corpse eater flying magic beast would only linger around in the areas where there were a lot of corpses.

While the existence of corpses were not exactly a bad thing as the corpse eater flying magic beast didn't only hunt human corpses but also magic beasts' corpses, but Samuel knew very well that so many corpses were also the sources of bacteria and plagues.

Why did the officials agreed right away when Riya asked for the magic beasts' corpses?

Because if they were left behind, they would also be burned down to prevent these magic beasts' corpses from polluting the Green Planet.

Even if their effort might not be able to match the death rate of these magic beasts outside, they had to try their best to maintain the environment in the Green Planet for the sake of the future generation's survival.

While the result was not very good so far, but at least they tried.

But with so many corpse eater flying magic beast out there, it was certain that there had to be a large number of corpses nearby.

As for whether it was a pile of human corpses or magic beasts' corpses, they had to figure it out by themselves.

"I'll clean it up," Riya said as she approached the door and then stopped.

"Riya?"

"How to open the hatch?"

"Pfft." Samuel chuckled and stepped forward. He grabbed the handle and opened it without hesitation while turning to look at the soldiers. "Keep the helicopter stable!"

"Yes!"

Whizz!

Series of wind whistling from outside could be sensed and the two people were stunned.

"These corpse eater flying magic beast had already reached rank 7." Riya was surprised and then frowned.

For these corpse eater flying magic beast to grow so quickly, how many corpses have they eaten?

This is not just one rank 7 corpse eater flying magic beast but a bunch of rank 7 corpse eater flying magic beast.

"Then I'll deal with them," Samuel had already taken out his sword as he spoke and lightning started to gather around his hand and transmitted into the sword. The air was crackling along with the lightning. "Lightning Sword Slash!"

Boom!

The large slash directly headed towards these corpse eater flying magic beast but it only managed to kill three of them while the rest were either blocked with the wind shield or avoided.

These rank 7 corpse eater flying magic beast were really strong.

Riya's expression changed and she raised her hand and runes formed in it before she slapped it on the side.

"Get down"

"Screech!"

The group of rank 7 corpse eater flying magic beast screamed out loudly, starting off sonic attack along with wind elemental attack.
