Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 452: Competitor

Riya didn't know what the person who arranged the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation was thinking.

But she knew that this person has to be very strong.

And there had to be an extremely special reason why this World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation has to be made.

For the two worlds to be merged together…

The impact is not small.

The surge of mana in the Green Planet, the cracks that appeared to connect the two worlds, the destroyed terrain and the death of countless magic beasts.

Everything completely overturned the situation on both world. Be it the Green Planet or this place, everything was changed drastically and dragged everyone to follow with this destructive pace.

And…

"The formation didn't arrange for the person who took the special magic core to be directly killed, which meant that he or she had long arranged for us to take it," Riya said slowly. "But whether we could keep it after trying to take it is another question."

Samuel nodded.

With the magic beasts chasing after them right after they took the special magic core, it would be hard for them to escape if they were not prepared.

"I feel like we're being played by whoever made this formation," Samuel commented.

Being played?

Riya looked at Samuel speechlessly and then retorted, "You speak as if that person is so bored. To be able to make this kind of formation, there's no way that you have no purpose."

Who would be so bored to make the formation and lead them to play around like this?

Even if they had reached advanced age, the amount of resources and time needed to make the formation, from planning to drawing, and then activation and watching over it was by no means small.

No idiot would be wiling to spend so much time doing such a thankless thing.

At least, Riya would never be willing to do this.

"Yes, but I feel that the purpose might not be that bad," Samuel said and reached out his hand to rub Riya's head.

Riya was stunned by Samuel's move and looked at Samuel quietly. "Don't treat me like you treat your sister."

"I didn't."

Samuel blinked his eyes.

If it was his sister, Amelia would have run away the moment he raised his hand. Because Amelia was absolutely sure that Samuel was there to catch the sister who was running away from home again.

And Riya definitely had better reflex than his sister.

So did she not avoid his hand on purpose?

Samuel's eyes narrowed slightly when he thought about this.

"Well, whatever the purpose, we'll figure it out later," Riya said and took a step back once more. Being too close to Samuel didn't seem to be a good idea.

Even though they were discussing about a serious matter, her mind couldn't help but wander around.

Tsk.

"Don't you have any guesses?" Samuel asked as he looked at the formation in front of them. "Rather than playing… does it help us to clean up the magic beasts?"

Clean up the magic beasts?

The fact that after the special magic core was taken away there will be a large number of magic beasts dying was not exactly a secret. After trying it once, everyone will know about it.

Though, there was a limit to how many times the special magic cores can be taken from one place.

If Riya had to say, it might be for the sake of balance.

Once there was not enough magic beasts around to make up for the required mana, it was estimated that the crack itself will be destroyed. At that time, she herself didn't know whether it would also destroy their world that was connected through the cracks.

After all, she had never seen this formation before.

The World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation was not exactly a secret formation, but it was a very complicated formation and rarely used. After all, who would want to merge two completely different world spanning across dimension or thousands of light years away?

No one would be stupid enough to do anything like that.

Unless they have a reason why they had to do this.

"Rather than helping us to clean up the magic beasts, the formation will drag most of the magic beasts out of their comfort zone and forced them to fight," Riya said helplessly. "Otherwise, we won't be running away all the time when the special magic cores are taken away."

"…You're right."

The two of them were definitely very proficient in terms of running away in the crack by now.

After all, they have experienced it a few times.

These magic beasts really loved them, but they had no interest to play around with the magic beasts.

"Well, that's just a guess." Samuel shrugged, not very concerned about it.

No matter what awaited them ahead, he just had to deal with it. While he might be curious about what the purpose of the person who build this World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation, he knew that the clue were not enough for them to deduce the real purpose.

At the very least, they knew that whoever made the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation would not come out to trouble them personally.

This is a good thing.

Because if they have to face a rank 10 magicians when they were only rank 5…

There was no doubt that they would turn into mincemeat in an instant.

There was simply no comparison with them.

"Yes." Riya nodded and thought about something else. "There's another thing that I'm thinking about the formation."

"Yes?"

"Other returnee should be able to find the outer formation and might take the special magic core too." Riya chuckled. "In this way, we have a lot of competitors."

"Who's afraid of them?" Samuel rolled his eyes. "If they dare to come, I'll hack them down with sword."

"One last thing, the formation should be near the places where these returnees are located. At least, some of them."
