Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 381: A Few Magic Scrolls

Rune master was indeed a profession that eat a lot of money.

Not mentioning the resources that they could obtain through hunting magic beasts, there were also many materials that they needed to form formation and so on. It was only through accumulation would they become more powerful.

To be exact, all professions will have accumulation.

But the rune master was somewhat special in a way that as long as they have enough money, they could technically be invincible in battles.

No one would be able to harm them in the slightest bit.

The main reason was naturally because rune master could prepare sets of formation plate that would trigger in some situation. In this way, they only needed to throw whatever they have prepared before in battle.

And any protracted battle would only result in their win.

Their opponent would have long exhausted their mana but they still have a stack of magic scrolls that they hadn't used yet.

But there was also weakness.

The rune master would not fight against other magicians, magic warriors, or even warrior on the arena. Because most of the time, their set of formation that they have prepared were not allowed to be used.

Asking them to fight with their bare skills directly?

These rune masters were clearly unwilling.

On their way back, Riya was teaching Ruben the few rank 1 magic scrolls that she taught him. These were the common magic scrolls that were more likely to be used during this period of time and also quite easy to make.

First was rank 1 shield.

It can create a shield around them for 3 seconds, protecting them from the attack that was not any higher than a rank 1 magic beast. This was quite tasteless for most magic warriors who had reached rank 2, but for those below it, they would definitely need it.

Ruben himself made a lot to protect himself.

Riya told him that using several at once would create a few layer of shields around him. Stacking several of them would be able to block a rank 2 magic beasts' attack.

This is clearly a live saving item!

Second was a rank 1 element arrow.

The arrow could attack the designated opponent with elemental arrow. And the element would have to depend on what element the rune master infused into the magic scroll.

Considering that Ruben has dark element, the element he could infuse is dark element, so the result would be dark elemental arrow.

The piercing power was quite considerable and at the very least, it could kill rank 1 magic beast.

Ruben had used several of them in the battle.

"But I need to use two or three to kill a rank 1 magic beast," Ruben asked doubtfully. For higher ranked magic beast, he knew that it was impossible to only use one, but for rank 1 magic beast, it should only need one, right?

"That's because when you use the magic scroll, you need to think about where you aim the attack. The magic will not attack the weakness automatically and need to be guided. If you didn't guide it, then it will attack the part that's easier to hit.

Moreover, the quality of your magic scroll need to be improved. There's leakage of mana, which will decrease the magic scroll power."

Ruben was silent.

The rank 1 magic scroll was already weak enough and the power was reduced once again? It seemed that he had to quickly improve his skills or he would be wasting a lot of magic scrolls.

Third was control type magic scroll.

There were many types of control magic scroll but the most common one was restraint. It could create an invisible net that controlled the opponent's movement for a short period of time.

The stronger the opponent is, the weaker the effect of the restraint.

Naturally, if Ruben were to use that rank 1 restraint magic scroll on Riya, it would not work at all because it was too weak!

Fourth was rank 1 recovery magic scroll.

The scroll can heal common injuries but not severe injuries. If it was used in a severe injury, it would decrease the bleeding slightly and might help but the effect wouldn't be much. However, since it could help to stabilize the injury, it could bring precious time for those who were injured.

These were the four magic scroll that Riya taught Ruben.

At least, the basic.

There were some variations that Ruben wanted to learn too, but she told him that he had to be proficient in all of them, so it would be better for him to take it slow.

One at a time.

"These runes are really tiring to draw," Ruben said weakly.

He had to focus when drawing runes or it would fail. And failing meant he would be wasting his mana.

Considering that Ruben's own mana is not much, he had to spend a long time meditating to recover his mana.

For Ruben, it was really tiring!

So whenever he practiced, he had to make sure that he was super focused before starting. Otherwise, he would only waste his mana.

"It's practice. When you're good enough, you will be able to draw them in seconds." Riya took a piece of paper and said, "Like this."

With that, her hand moved and then a drawing was formed on the top of the paper in an instant.

Those who saw the formation's shape on the paper would never believe that this was made in less than one second.

Ruben looked at the magic scroll silently.

"How long do you think it'll take for me to reach your level?"

"My level?" Riya looked at Ruben doubtfully. "If you're diligent, maybe 10 years?"

10 years?

Ruben was speechless.

Samuel listened to their conversation and looked at the four magic scrolls that Riya made. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you want to sell these to the government? I'm sure you can ask for some things from them."
