The two people moved differently but by the time the magic spell was cast, countless rank 7 magic beasts in front of them fell down like fallen leaves with no energy to fight back.
It was so fast and fierce.
The sword slash carried thunders and the rank 7 magic beasts' defense was no different form paper in front of Samuel.
"I'll be the channel of thunder, transmitting the power of lightning and projecting it towards my enemy… the great lightning spear!"
Slash!
More and more rank 7 magic beasts died without corpses.
They were destroyed the moment they touched the attack from Samuel.
And from the other side, countless icicles were formed, raining hails towards the rank 7 magic beasts in front of them.
The two sides of City A Base projected a completely different scene.
One was filled with countless rank 7 magic beasts stabbed to death by countless icicles and the other one was filled with charred corpses that couldn't be recognized anymore. It formed extreme contrast and for a moment, no magic beasts could get close to City A Base anymore.
Silence.
Mr. Jones looked at this scene and smiled slightly.
His son is back.
Not only him, Riya was also here.
With these two people around, these arrogant rank 7 magic beasts wouldn't be able to do anything and could only run with their tails behind their backs. Otherwise, what awaited them would be nothing more than death without any intact corpses.
Oh, wrong.
They would still be intact if they were facing Riya but their blood would be drained by her to make formation and who knew what she would use their bodies for.
"So cool."
Many people were amazed, but they were not completely relaxed. Now that these two people were here, they quickly replenished their ammunition and made better defense for when these rank 7 magic beasts come back again.
Samuel raised his head and saw Riya coming towards him.
"Riya?"
"Here. You can use it to replenish your mana later. It would not be as effective as the potion made by alchemist, but it should help you in battle," Riya said calmly.
She handed over a space storage scroll that she had filled with some mana stones and also some talisman that could restore mana quickly. The talisman was higher ranked and would work even for rank 7 magic warrior.
But the mana has to be used quickly.
Riya was sure that Samuel knew about this restriction, though.
After all, his family in that world had already used these things before.
"Thank you." Samuel understood what Riya wanted to do when she handed these over to him. He looked at her helplessly. "Let's go find my father before these rank 7 magic beasts come back."
There were still many cracks out there and Samuel didn't know how many exactly. If they didn't hurry, these rank 7 magic beasts would come back and attack City A Base again.
Even with the formation activated, it could not prevent these rank 7 magic beasts from attacking.
"Mhm."
The two of them hurriedly head over to find Mr. Jones. They didn't have time to find their friends and there was nothing to say either.
Thankfully, the others were also sensible and didn't make trouble at this critical time.
"I know that you definitely want to look for me." Mr. Jones looked at the two people and took out the tablet that he was holding. "The map is there and these rank 7 magic beasts' movements are not random. Moreover, there are only 12 cracks all over the world, which might have represented all the returnees."
Mr. Jones had been told by Samuel and Riya about the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation and the fact that there were a total of 12 pillars.
This matter couldn't be hidden.
After all, Riya was sure that there might be other returnees who might knew about the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation.
Plus, this matter was of high importance.
This told them that there were only a total of 12 returnees from that world and that the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation was what caused these magic beasts to appear. As for who could make it, Riya couldn't do it even as a rune master.
This was something that they had verified with other returnees.
Those returnees didn't have good relationship with Riya and some of them had heard of the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation. So they understood that this was a formation that could only be made by rune master higher than rank 9.
If Riya could make the World Fusion and Mana Integration Formation… she could basically destroy the entire world.
There would be no need for her to negotiate terms with them.
"12 cracks and these weakened rank 7 magic beasts…" Riya immediately understood that the second stage would not kill them as long as they were careful enough.
But this doesn't change the fact that the movements of these rank 7 magic beasts were basically unpredictable.
They would mostly chase after the returnees, but how about the scattered ones?
Not all of them would follow the trajectory and head over to find the returnees but instead head over to other city bases.
So they had to close down the cracks as soon as possible….
Wait.
If it depends on the returnees….
"There are a total of 5 cracks in Continent Z alone," Riya said through gritted teeth.
Now she understood why they were transported right next to the expanded crack. That crack should either belong to her or Samuel.
"Yes, there are the most returnees in Continent Z," Mr. Jones said bitterly.
What a joke. They used to be proud that there were many returnees from Continent Z, but now they understood that it was also because there were so many returnees that Continent Z has to face the most rank 7 magic beasts.
The only good thing is that Riya is in Continent Z.
