Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 66 Catastrophe

Bang!

The earth shook badly, but the building thankfully still stood tall.

However, Riya could clearly see that there were a lot of cracks on the wall around her. It was estimated that the situation below was even worse.

After around half a minute, the tremor stopped.

But the two of them still didn't move.

Who knew if the earthquake would produce the second tremor? They didn't want to bet on their lives.

"How high is this earthquake magnitude?" Amelia suddenly asked.

"I don't know." Riya shook her head.

She looked outside with worry because she had the feeling that this earthquake was by no means an ordinary one. But at the same time, it was good that this building held up because if not, they might end up being buried here.

The formation would protect this room, but not Ruby outside.

If the building was truly broken, Riya would feel immense regret for not sparing more time and effort to make additional protection formation.

"I'll take a look." Riya crawled out and walked towards the window.

"Wait...." Amelia thought that Riya wanted to get out of the door, but seeing that she only went to the window, Amelia didn't stop her.

She looked around her and after a moment, she gritted her teeth and followed Riya's lead.

Riya looked out of the window.

"I'm going to check on Ruby." Riya walked to the door and opened it. The corridor was no longer completely intact. There were some parts that sprung up and also other parts that were like a pit.

It was really miserable.

Riya could see that the walls were also cracked and it was only thanks to the strong material that the building held on. If they still wanted to stay here, Riya would have to do something to make sure the structure hold on one way or another.

It wouldn't be easy.

"Ruby," Riya called out. "Ruby, can you hear me?"

After that Riya raised her hand and mana gathered on her palm as she pressed the door in from to her open. The room was full of dust and it seemed that something was broken considering the tables and chairs were overturned.

Riya frowned and after sweeping her gaze, she found the bedroom door was open and Riya didn't hesitate and entered it.

"Ruby?"

"Huh? Riya?" Ruby's voice could be heard from the distance. She was hiding under her blanket on her bed and her face stuck out.

From the way it looked like, she was perfectly fine.

Seeing Ruby, Riya was relieved.

It seemed that Ruby was smart enough to dash to her bedroom and hide there.

She was not entirely sure where Ruby came from, though.

"Why did you come here...?" Ruby paused and then frowned. "Are you worried about me? Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine."

"I can see that now. Come out and let's stay in my and Amelia's room."
