Runemaster in the Last Days

Living in the world of magic but not having any magic or warrior's talent…

Riya really felt that fate was against her at that time.

But at the same time, she didn't want to give up, so she chose to try becoming a magician. Even though both path's talent were really bad, but the magician's talent was slightly better than the warrior's path.

She might still have a chance to achieve something should she follow on this path.

In that expensive academy that almost made her want to die, she stumbled across the rune master class. After seeing that she could understand everything so easily, Riya seemed to see a ray of hope.

If she couldn't become a normal magician, why not become a rune master?

A pure rune master who walked on a brand new path.

In this way, a pure rune master was born.

And it took her four years to be able to reach rank 7, an achievement that should have been impossible with her normal talent. At the same time, the path forward was filled with obscurity as no one walked the same extreme path as her.

She would have to be the one to deduce the path forward.

Be it good or bad, she had to try it herself.

"To walk on a path carved by yourself, it'll be the most suitable path for you," Samuel said slowly. "There's no need to follow the conventional path but to choose the path that you like and could allow you to shine the most."

Samuel looked at the magic beasts at the front and then added, "Whether it's right or wrong, time will tell. At the very least, you will not have any regret."

Riya smiled and chuckled. "You're right, Senior Samuel."

Swish!

Seeing more magic beasts coming over, the two of them frowned and then started to move, one of them was using the sword and the other was forming runes midair.

To be honest, the magic method of using runes instead of spell casting was not that bad.

At the very least, they didn't have to say and hear those embarrassing lines…

After all, the magic spells were not exactly very pleasant to hear.

Bang! Bang!

A pile of magic beasts' corpse fell to the ground and Riya looked at it indifferently. Her hand moved and these magic beasts' corpses disappeared while those that were a distance away from her started to back away in fear.

The current Riya was completely different from her usual image.

There was no warm hearted smile on her face and what left was nothing more than ruthless killing intent.

"Icy Snow Strike," Riya said coldly and the runes in her hand had moved, forming a beautiful blue colored light. The next moment, countless white sharp ice blades formed around Riya and with a 'swoosh' it pierced through the countless magic beasts around them.

But none of them headed in Samuel's direction.

Her perfect control was brilliantly demonstrated in this battle.

"So beautiful." Samuel put down his sword, the lightning had covered and no more magic beasts were coming towards them.

The combination of the ice and lightning element was more than enough to stop them from getting closer.

The only difference was that most of the magic beasts' corpses around Riya had holes on their vital points while the magic beasts around Samuel were either intact or completely scarred.

"Magic is always beautiful." Riya chuckled at Samuel's words. She looked at him with a smile. "Haven't you seen more beautiful magic spells in that world?"

The formation she made just now was created for battles. Even if there was some element of beauty, violent beauty, but it was definitely not the most beautiful magic spell in the entire world.

Samuel looked at Riya deeply and smiled.

What he meant beautiful is Riya.

But he was not sure what her reaction would be if he said it, so Samuel held back and then said, "Do you like ice element?"

"It's convenient," Riya replied. "And it's not like there will be much difference what element I use."

With her talent in all elements were basically the same, the only difference was the degree of control and the formation that she had mastered over them. For battles, Riya had developed various element's formations, each with their own use.

When there was a chance in the future, she will naturally show it to Samuel.

But now, just the ice one was enough.

"You have a lot of elements compatibility," Samuel said, his tone was certain. He had seen the element test magic scroll that Riya used before. For her to be able to detect other people's various elements, it had already shown that she has a lot of magic elements.

"Everyone has all elements in their body. The only difference is the percentage," Riya replied. "If it's less than 1%, there's basically no chance to ever sensing them in your entire life."

This was the rule and what basically stopped many people from becoming a magician in the first place.

"The theory is not complete." Samuel looked at Riya with perplexed expressions. "You do know that not everyone have 100% of magic compatibility, right? There's upper limit of their mana compatibility and then this mana compatibility will be diverged among all elements. The lowest was 0,000000001%."

Riya blinked her eyes in surprise. "What?"

"Did you never learn about it?" Samuel was confused, but he continued the explanation. "Both humans and animals have degree of compatibility with mana itself. You should also know that there are non elemental mana and the degree of compatibility depends on how much of the non elemental mana you can absorb after being exposed to it.

As long as you can retain more than 20%, you have the possibility of becoming a magician. The threshold might seem low, but majority of people wouldn't be able to reach even 10%, which meant that they didn't have any talent to become magician."
