Sensing the mental attack, Riya felt her vision darkened for a moment. Her throat felt fishy and she wanted to cough up so badly. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel※fire.net
But she knew that she couldn't.
Just a bit more and when it was done, she would be able to get out of here alive.
Drawing the last stroke of the formation, Riya didn't hesitate and poured out all of her mana to active the formation.
The magic beasts were roaring unwillingly before countless slashing sound could be heard from within the crack.
Riya gasped for breath and sat down beside the crack. She felt that her body was no longer hers and laughed lightly.
"How long has it been since the last time I'm so miserable?" Riya muttered to herself.
In the various battles against the rank 7 magic beasts in the crack, Riya has never been so miserable. Moreover, she has a 'knight' protecting her and even if she was exhausted, it was not to this degree.
Today is an exception.
With the seemingly endless rank 7 magic beasts coming over to kill her, there was simply nothing that she could do but to go forward and used various means to replenish the mana in her body.
Rune master might be strong, but they were still magician's branch.
It was unheard of for them to go forward on their own and risked their life and death on the frontline. Because all magicians were afraid that if they ran out of mana, they would not be able to do anything to protect themselves.
After all, magician is different from magic warrior.
For magic warrior, even if they ran out of mana, the most that could happen was that their fighting capabilities would be reduced. But they would not die so easily.
Without mana, they would be no different from ordinary people.
It was also because of this that Riya used runes engraved into her heart to strengthen her physical body through the runes. This method would not give her the fighting skills comparable to her physical strength, but it was more than enough.
Because at normal times, she would not need to face a dangerous person. And even if she were to face her enemies, they would not be of the same rank. The formations that she had set up on her robes were not a joke.
As long as someone has bad intention to her, even if it was a rank 7 magic beasts, there would be many counterattack formation activated.
The only problem is that it wouldn't last long facing such a powerful magic beast.
So Riya didn't take a risk.
Right now, her Protective Rune Circle was almost broken and Riya knew that if these rank 7 magic beasts had lasted a bit longer, she would truly be in precarious situation.
'I can escape to the world but I won't be able to attack these magic beasts from there… forget it. Let's strengthen the formation first.'
Riya used the rest of the magic beasts' blood that she had collected to create the second layer of formation and then teleported to the first crack to make the second layer of formation. Even if she had made the arrangement for the formation to use the blood of these magic beasts to support it, it might not last forever.
It would be better to add some insurance.
Anyway, she was not lacking in rank 7 magic beasts' blood now.
"There are still 3 more cracks in Continent Z…" Riya had moved to the second crack once more to clean up the rest of the rank 7 magic beasts there. Her mana had recovered slightly and it was more than enough to deal with the remaining scattered magic beasts.
Moreover, the other cracks were closer to this crack.
After thinking for a moment, Riya used her phone and called Mr. Jones.
"Riya?" Mr. Jones answered almost right away.
This speed honestly made Riya wonder whether Mr. Jones were still busy defending City A Base or not. Even if she had closed the crack, there were still many rank 7 magic beasts who came out and rushed over in other direction, right?
After all, she was not the only returnee in City A.
Half of these rank 7 magic beasts rushed over to Samuel and Riya couldn't really do anything. She was too busy taking care of herself that she didn't have any time to care about him.
"Uncle, I would like to ask which crack required help the most," Riya said straightforwardly.
There were other returnees in Continent Z and Riya didn't want to go there only to be spectator. After all, she knew that the other cracks should not have as many rank 7 magic beasts as these two cracks, so the danger level should be lower.
Because of that, Riya was not that worried.
"About this… the higher ups wished that you could go to the border of Continent Z and Continent W to deal with the crack there."
Riya was stunned before she thought of someone who came from Continent W but staying Continent Z.
The crack would appear near the returnee and it might be related to their homeland or even their current location. However, Ruth's crack appeared at the border between the two continents.
It was unknown whether it was because she was not Continent Z's citizen or there were other reasons.
After all, Riya was not clear about it.
"Do you want me to help them?" Riya asked and then thought about the distance between the two continents….
It was a bit too far away.
Even if she were to kidnap a rank 7 magic beast and used it as a mount, Riya highly doubted that she would be able to reach the border within a day's time.
Are you sure that there wouldn't be any other trouble with her going there at such time?
"I can arrange helicopter and pilot for you."
