Runemaster in the Last Days

Bang!

Riya looked at the target in the distance that was burned by fire and there was lightning crackling around. Her eyes lit up happily.

But before she could be happy for long.

Bang!

The gun in her hand exploded.

Riya: "…"

She looked down at the gun that had turned into parts and then sighed. The formation plate she placed on her body automatically triggered when the gun exploded, protecting her.

In this way, the explosion wouldn't do anything to her.

"So it seems that the weapon's durability is not that strong. If I want to strengthen the weapon, I need better materials…."

Riya sighed.

"Let's try weaker enhancement next."

…

In the end, Riya scrapped 10 guns before she could make one that was relatively stable. But checking the weapon's durability, Riya guessed that it would not last for more than 100 rounds before the weapon would be scrapped.

The good thing was that this gun would not explode.

At most, the weapon couldn't be used.

The protection mechanism on the weapon was made of the runes. So when the gun was overheated or something, there would be water dousing the gun and prevented it from happening.

'Of course if the materials are those that reacted violently with water, this would not work… it seems that I still have to modify the future's gun.'

Riya sighed.

Thinking about her chemistry and physics lesson in the past, Riya felt that the best option was to cut off the oxygen source directly. The problem is that these runes were not so detailed to the point that it could disassembled the material's molecule.

If she wanted to do it, then she would have to modify the runes…

'Modifying the runes?'

Riya's eyes narrowed slightly with faint excitement inside it.

If she had said this in front of her seniors in that world, they would definitely look at her as if she was crazy.

The runes had existed for so many years and the basics had never changed. What changed was nothing more than the combination that they used in order to create the effect that they wanted with the runes.

But what Riya wanted was to directly use the runes to modify something like this…

It would be extremely challenging.

No, not only challenging.

She was trying to destroy and modify the law of runes that had been established for so many years. No sane person would attempt anything like this unless their brain was filled with water.

Riya took a deep breath.

The excitement in her heart was slowly disappearing and she knew very well that there was no way she could do anything like that. Even though this was indeed the best method, she could try to do so through the combination of runes.

Before reaching rank 7 or even higher, she dared not try to modify the laws of the runes.

Riya herself didn't know why, but she felt that if she dared to attempt it at her current state, there was a risk that she might be hurt.

This is just an instinct, but she trusted her instinct.

"Forget it, let's not do anything outrageous." Riya played with the gun in her hand for a while before putting it away. It was not perfect enough and there were still many problems need to be addressed.

But this was good enough for the time being.

In any case, now that she was done with the gun, Riya planned to go out and relax for a bit. She didn't want to stay here all the time.

Besides, designing this thing was really tiring.

Her brain has been overheated for a while and Riya wanted to do something else to relax a bit and enjoyed the days when she didn't have to go out and fighting with those magic beasts.

Uh wait, no one seemed to order her to go and hunt those magic beasts.

She was the one who gave the task to herself.

Riya sighed and rubbed her forehead.

She clean up and then dressed up.

So, wearing a new hairpin, Riya walked out of the room to the dining room. This time, there was only Amelia there.

"Has everyone left?" Riya asked curiously. It was rare for Amelia to be the only one to be here.

"They're gone to work," Amelia replied. "My brother told me to practice meditating at home and he will check the result later."

When talking about her brother's arrangement for her, Amelia felt that she could never escape from her brother's training.

If it was not because Samuel has some things to do with the base, Amelia was sure that she would be forced to train under him for a long time.

Thinking about this, Amelia was still filled with great resentment. She felt that her brother didn't have any fun in his life and transferred those days to her and her younger brother. It was as if he wanted the two of them to be like him.

A workaholic and training madman who only knew how to train and work.

He didn't seem to have any other fun in life.

But the problem is, neither Amelia or Sean would be able to stand facing Samuel's rigorous training obediently. One was lazy and liked to fish around while the other one wanted to spend more time with his girlfriend and talked about love instead of training hard.

So the two of them sometimes paddled and then got punished.

Welp.

Samuel would not let them go so easily just because they were his siblings. In fact, his requirement seemed to be stricter due to the fact that they had obtained a large amount of resources from him.

"Is it because your physical strength improved faster than your mana?" Riya asked after she heard Amelia's arrangement.

"How do you know?" Amelia was stunned.

"Magic warriors usually pay more attention to balance and I could see that Senior Arnold is also asked by Senior Samuel to meditate more. This will allow you to balance your physical strength and your mana, achieving greater result," Riya explained.
