Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 912

Chapter 912: Where are We?

“By the way, where are we right now?” Ruth asked after she had calmed down slightly.

The battle was a bit too thrilling and her mana was almost exhausted, but their attack couldn’t even cause a scratch against that rank 8 magic beast. This made their originally complacent heart to cool down.

On the Green Planet, these returnees basically didn’t have any opponents.

Even though they were facing a lot of magic beasts from the crack, they never truly took these magic beasts seriously.

Because even if the number of magic beasts was large, they could still be defeated in time.

During the magic beasts’ tide, they did face some rank 7 magic beast when they were still at rank 6 or rank 5. At that time, they did feel some despair and frustration for not being able to defeat it.

But Samuel could still attack it.

And it was also through this that they believed that they could do it.

Now that they had faced the real rank 8 magic beast…

They understood that they were too complacent.

There were many strong magic beasts out there and if they continued with this mentality, what awaited them would be nothing more than their own death.

So they had to train honestly.

For the other returnees who stayed on the Green Planet and never came here… they might not have the chance to be beaten up by the magic beasts here.

“Sorry, I don’t know,” Riya admitted helplessly. “The direction is picked randomly, but if you fly up, you should be able to see the gate.”

“Hmm?”

The other returnees thought about the gate just now.

It was only now did they remember that the gate was extremely big and it was not like a gate that humans usually used.

Rather… it was a gate for magic beasts?

“…It couldn’t be magic beasts’ lairs, right?” Peter asked with some hesitation.

He still remembered that the gate has two large diamonds’ shape embedded on each side of the door. The diamonds were purplish black in color and there were some strange vines shape engravings on the edge.

As for other details, Peter didn’t remember.

Because he was fighting that rank 8 magic beast in close distance, he stayed further away from the gate, allowing him to see its full appearance.

“…Have you ever seen magic beasts build gates, stupid?” Dina scolded in annoyance.

She felt that Peter’s stupidity was really something that couldn’t be cured. No matter how much time has passed, he would always say stupid remark one after another, which frustrated others who heard it.

“No?”

“It should belong to humans, but what we see is just the remains,” Samuel said as he thought about the ruins beside the gate. Those should be the ruins from the walls.

As for why the gate was so tall and big… it might be the city gate instead of a building’s gate.

“Is this a fallen planet?” Ruth frowned.

Fallen planet as in it had been occupied by the magic beasts.

Their previous world where they started to learn magic should also be a fallen planet too by now. With so many magic beasts and countless cities destroyed, it was unlikely that humans could still survive.

Even if there were some scattered people who were still alive… could they really continue human civilization with so few people?

It would be extremely difficult.

The others looked at each other in silence.

To be honest, they also thought that way, but they didn’t really want to acknowledge it. Their knowledge about the grand magic beasts’ tide was limited. Those who didn’t experience it would not be able to know how devastating this event was.

And what awaited those who failed to defend their own kingdom was nothing more than their own destruction.

This is what happened to their previous planet.

And presumably… also this place.

“Let’s travel together,” Peter said. “And perhaps we can find some cities nearby?”

“Ok, but I need to recover my mana first,” Riya said. She had used up her mana and it would take some time for her to recover her mana.

“Me too.” Samuel walked to the side, planning to find a quiet place to meditate and recover his mana.

As for the question about the fallen planet…

Even if this is a planet that had been overrun by magic beasts, they couldn’t really do anything to change it.

Their priority is to get stronger and prevent similar fate to befall the Green Planet.

Whether other people would do the same or not was not their business.

“Right.”

Ruth also find some place to sit down and recover her mana.

Dina pursed her lips and didn’t bother with this matter anymore as she focused on recovering her mana.

Those large scale dark elemental magic spells still consumed a lot of her mana and Dina was not very pleased.

It was exhausting.

“Ah…” Peter sighed.

As the only one who didn’t have any mana, Peter couldn’t possibly meditate like the others. He sat down with a sigh and then took out the roasted meat from his space storage scroll and started eating.

The rank 7 magic beasts’ meat could recover his strength and stamina at the fastest speed.

‘But thinking about it, this place has higher concentration of mana…’ Peter was thinking while munching on the meat. He couldn’t sense how high the concentration is in details, but it was definitely more than the Green Planet.

This was his feelings.

And if they trained here for three years before returning to the Green Planet, they should be able to reach rank 8.

The others who didn’t come here would probably remain on rank 7.

But they should be able to make progress too through the cracks and resources that they could find there.

After all, he himself managed to gain a lot from the crack.

It was not like he couldn’t make improvement if he stayed there, but it would be a slow one.
