Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 1043

"But…"

"If you're talking about how rank 10 lightning magic bird's magic element is conflicting with me and that my skills are not as effective, I'll use more fire elements." Samuel gave a reassuring smile. "Fire element is likely to be suppressed by 20%, but it's better than lightning element that's suppressed by half."

This was the calculation made by the magician.

When magician and magic warriors were facing opponent with the same elements, they would have resistance towards each other.

At lower rank, this didn't have much effect aside from their magic will not be effective when they clashed against each other. But higher ranked magician and magic warriors would have a certain degree of elemental resistance.

And it was precisely this resistance that made them unable to truly deal with others who have the same element as them.

When Riya found out that the opponent is rank 10 lightning magic bird, she knew very well that Samuel's attack would be less effective against it.

That's why she wanted to step forward and deal with the rank 10 lightning magic bird before it could start launching large scale attack. A rune master was used to destroy the fun in battles anyway.

Many times, they would use methods that other people would find despicable.

Attacking without warning, running away all of the sudden, or even divert their attack to their own allies.

The rune masters in Afirer Kingdom didn't exactly have good reputation in battles.

But their support ability has always been praised.

Because not many people could possibly contend against the rune masters and the equipment they made were extremely useful.

"You're really stubborn." Riya looked at Samuel helplessly.

"It can't be helped." Samuel shrugged and spread his hand. "If I'm not stubborn enough, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fight against those rank 10 lightning magic birds on my own."

"I can deal with them quickly."

"It's more like you can deal with any rank 10 magic beast that appeared, but Riya… I don't want you to be so tired. When you need to recover your mana, leave the battle to us and you just wait for your turn." Samuel paused for a moment as his eyes stared deeply at Riya behind him earnestly. "You're not alone."

She's not alone.

Riya blinked her eyes.

She knew that she's not alone, for a long time, in fact.

But to be honest, Riya had long gotten used to her solo battle and solo journey. Even when she have friends, she rarely asked them for help because she was afraid that she couldn't repay them in the slightest bit.

They were so kind to her just because she's their friends.

Not because she has any value whatsoever.

It's warm and comforting.

Yet, Riya was walking on a path that would separate her from her friends and everyone else whom she used to know.

As for whether this gap will become even bigger… 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Each and every single one of them went on a separate ways and had no intention of interfering with each other's training.

But after coming back to the Green Planet…

Samuel hoped that Riya would remember that she's not the only person who had to fight against the magic beasts.

There were also other returnees.

"You're right." Riya gave a weak smile. "I'm sorry, I guess I'm too arrogant and stubborn."

She turned her head to look at the passage.

From the fluctuation, it didn't seem that another rank 10 lightning magic bird would appear but rather a rank 9 magic beast.

Peter and Dina were still busy recovering their mana or stamina on the side, but Riya believed that the two of them would still be able to deal with a rank 9 magic beast. As long as it was not another rank 10 lightning magic bird, it seemed to be doable for them.

"No, you're not arrogant… you're just forgetful," Samuel quickly said.

Riya: "…"

She gave a sidelong glance at Samuel and then moved away from the passage slightly through controlling her Protective Rune Circle and infused more mana into the circle. If she only rely on the recovery ability of her Protective Rune Circle, it might end up shattering the next time another rank 10 lightning magic bird appeared.

'As expected, I should have designed a Protective Rune Circle that's suitable for a rank 10 rune master instead.'
