In other words: he's un-killable.
At least, until the entire world's integration was finished.
"It's that troublesome?" Samuel was speechless and then said, "Rune masters are really buggy."
To have the strength of the entire formation protecting him or her…. Samuel felt that whoever wanted to fight will definitely feel despair from the bottom of their heart. It was to the point that they would rather wave the white flag to show their surrender than fighting head on.
Riya laughed when she heard that.
"Haven't you found out about it for a long time." Riya came closer to Samuel and stuck her face close to his… well, there was still the distance of their height. But from this position, she could see his face clearly. "We rune masters are the master of cheating~."
Samuel narrowed his eyes and stretched his hand to pinch Riya's nose that was close to him. "Huh? Who do you want to cheat?"
She had the feeling that the cheating she meant here was different from what Samuel understood.
"I mean cheating as in we can use more resource… hey, stop pinching my nose!"
Samuel chuckled and released his finger. The sound Riya made when her nose was pinched was really cute…
Seeing her angry look, Samuel could only show a helpless and pitiful look.
Riya blinked her eyes and for some reason, she felt that Samuel looked like a big dog with its ear folded after making mistake.
'Did I spend so much time with Sophia to the point that I'm now comparing a person with a dog?'
After all, the only dog Riya came in contact frequently was only Melly, Sophia's dog.
"Don't look at me like that!" Riya complained and then jumped back. She turned around to look at the runes and quickly said, "Rune master can use various resources during their battle and not limited to the mana inside our bodies like ordinary magicians or warrior who are basically using their vitality.
Of course, they can also use other weapons and even use the magic scrolls but the number will definitely not comparable to that of a rune master."
Samuel smiled slightly when he saw Riya's reaction and he nodded. "I know."
It was precisely because a rune master had many means up on their sleeve that they were known as the most troublesome opponent.
At least, the rich rune masters would be hard to deal with.
But poor rune master?
Unless they could reach Riya's rank where they could use runes as easily as normal magic spell and even create a self sufficient Protective Rune Circle, it could be said that they would not be that hard to deal with.
At least, for Samuel, they were not that hard.
"I'm not that strong, though." Riya had calmed down and looked at Samuel once more. "That kind of formation is basically using the entire resources of this world in order to form it and if you want to destroy the entire formation… it's not an exaggeration to say that you want to destroy the entire world."
Destroy the entire world.
Samuel was stunned and he looked around before saying with difficulties. "This place is bigger than the Green Planet, right?"
The Green Planet alone was already very big and if they wanted to destroy the entire Green Planet, they would need to reach rank 10.
To destroy this place…
Samuel didn't know how strong he needed to be.
"Yes," Riya replied without hesitation.
They have already traveled in the crack for a month and met with various magic beasts and saw various terrains.
It could be said that the entire crack is a completely new world. A very complete underground world where countless magic beasts thrived and live well.
"It's really a nightmare mission," Samuel muttered under his breath.
"Be careful of being buried alive if you were to go on rampage," Riya added teasingly. They were now underground and even if she could make teleportation formation, she needed time to make it.
After all, she's not rank 7 rune master yet.
If she had reached that rank, she could easily teleport from one place to another.
"I know, I know," Samuel said helplessly.
The two of them looked at the pillar not far from them and Samuel asked, "Why do you say that this is your pillar?"
It could be anyone's pillar, right?
"Because I can sense the faint connection. The connection that was made when the formation was activated and then these people will be sent to that world," Riya replied. "The pillars had to be activated in sequence and this pillar… is not the first nor the last."
It meant that the time when she traveled to that world was in the middle.
Samuel is earlier than her and Riya was not sure about the others.
"Connection…" Samuel muttered and looked at the pillar in front of him.
No wonder that Riya said that this is her pillar.
The information that Riya could obtain was very limited but even with that, RIya managed to deduce a lot of things. He was not sure about the faint connection that Riya meant and it might be related to the fact she's a rune master.
Because if it was him, he couldn't really sense anything from these pillars.
"So, do you want to find the person… or whoever it is who made this formation?"
"Not now but in the future, yes."
Riya wanted to know the purpose of making this formation. Because she knew very well that the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation is not a formation that was easy to make.
There were a lot of branches that they had to make in order to cover up the entire world and then the preparation to select the 12 pillars as the connection… if even one of them failed, then the entire world would be destroyed and the formation would fail to activate.
Which meant that all 12 returnees returned safely within the time needed for the formation to activate.
Moreover, sacrificing one's freedom for the sake of making the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation….
