Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 870

Capítulo 870: Continent W (2)

Considering that demonic magicians could steal other people’s mana through killing other people, the people in City J Base were used to wary to each other. It could be said that they didn’t dare to leave their back open to other people in fear that they would be killed by the other party.

Even Ruth didn’t dare to relax and always stayed with the soldiers.

Because most of the soldiers were upright and they could still be trusted to a certain degree. At the very least, it’s better than the people who managed the base that Dina appointed.

Some of them were nothing more than businessmen and some others were only selfish people who finally gained power through various methods.

Dina herself was not very proficient in management.

And Ruth had long noticed that many people under Dina had some other thoughts.

As a magic warrior, Ruth was keener in terms of detecting human’s emotions and changes in facial expression. This might be the advantage brought as warrior because they were used to learn how to control their body to the fullest.

Some of them were muscle idiots.

Just like Peter.

But many of them became more meticulous in their observation like Ruth.

So she noticed that the people in City J Base was a complete mixed bag.

It was hard to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing because the people there were mostly selfish b*stards.

In Continent W, the people Ruth met were also soldiers.

As she had expected, the soldiers’ emotions were really pure and they didn’t have too much calculation. Even if there were some of them who were smart and calculative, they would not usually use it against their own people but to fight against their enemies.

Because in this way, they would be able to win the war.

Many wars and battles were based on deception.

“Sister Ruth, have you advanced?” Jonas Nolan’s eyes lit up when he sensed that the pressure on Ruth’s body was higher than before. Moreover, he could no longer detect Ruth’s strength, so he estimated that she had advanced to rank 7.

“…Didn’t you see the pattern?” Ruth asked back, her expression was a bit strange.

As for being called sister, this was because Ruth is indeed older than Jonas Nolan, who was only in his early twenties.

One had to say that all returnees were of different age.

But they were all still relatively young and rigorous.

“I’m busy in the alchemy room,” Jonas Nolan replied sheepishly. His alchemy room was specially built to be sound proof and so on. This was to ensure that he would be able to focus on making alchemy without being disturbed by the outside world.

So even if the entire world was being destroyed outside, Jonas Nolan might not be able to know until it was late.

Because he was still in the alchemy room.

“Oh.” Ruth nodded.

She didn’t understand why these people who focused on their side profession could be so patient. If it was her, she would have long threw away the tools in her hand because she couldn’t bear it any longer.

Alchemist, rune master, and weapon refiner were the three basic side profession.

And all of them had a lot of knowledge that they have to learn before they could even start practicing.

Ruth could still remember the days when she saw those things…

She wanted to vomit.

Because there were so many of them and this reminded her of the days when she was pressed by a mountain of books for the sake of passing exams. Having graduated for a long time, Ruth really didn’t want to experience the feeling of studying overnight again.

So she gave up.

Thankfully, she was lucky enough to be accepted as a disciple in a magic warrior school and eventually become a powerful magic warrior.

But the time when they all arrived in that world could be said to be the golden age of development.

There were too many powerful magicians, magic warriors, and even warriors.

So much that there were countless geniuses who were hyped up and attract countless people’s attention.

While Ruth was considered to be talented, but she was just one of these geniuses.

There were too many of them.

Yet, they all couldn’t escape the fate of dying.

A person’s effort in the face of the global destruction was extremely small…

They couldn’t really do anything when countless magic beasts flooded the areas and countless cities fell down. The geniuses who used to be laughing and playing around with her all fell down one by one.

Not a single one of them remained.

Being an archer magic warrior, Ruth was placed on the back and she tried her best to fight back. Firing arrow after arrows, trying to kill these magic beasts that rushed over to them.

But in the end, she couldn’t do anything.

The city fell and the magic beasts climbed up the platform.

In the end, she was too exhausted to do anything and could only watch as these magic beasts tore her body apart.

Just like many others in that fallen city.

The magic beasts occupied the border one by one and after the border had fallen, they headed over to various cities and killed countless humans there. No matter whether it was men, women, children, old, and young, everyone was killed.

It was a literal hell on earth.

Ruth never had the chance to see these things.

But Jonas Nolan did.

Because he was a logistic and had to stay on the back, helping with his alchemy as much as possible. When the city fell, he was among the last batch to die.

And it was because of this that he was able to see the destruction of the city more thoroughly.

Watching as hope being destroyed one by one until one’s death…

If it was possible, neither of them wanted to see it once more.

It was also because of this that they fought with their all when the second earthquake happened.
