Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 921
Capítulo 921: Lonely
The others?
Peter could never fully trust them and has always been wary of others to a certain degree within his heart.
Because he knew very well that the returnees were all competitors aside from being comrades.
And the people on the Green Planet only cared for what he could give.
But who knows what they were thinking in their individual heart.
Only some people could truly be trusted.
“I can’t fulfill my promise to drink with you all,” Peter muttered as he took out a bottle of wine from his space storage scroll. He didn’t know why he brought wine with him, but at this moment, he just sat beside the graves he had just dug and drank the wine in a small sip.
He didn’t dare to get drunk.
Even though Peter really wanted to drink the entire bottle of wine and become drunk, he didn’t dare to do it.
Because he knew that no one would bother to take care of himself if he did.
He had to do everything by himself now and it was not so easy for him to stay in the wilderness.
There were a lot of dangers out there.
And Peter didn’t dare to move around in fear that he would accidentally provoke some magic beasts.
Right now, he just wanted to accompany his comrades.
Even if they were separated by time and space, Peter felt as if he was back to the time when he joined this group of lovely soldiers and drank wine together. Everything felt as if it was only yesterday and Peter could hear their laughter and jokes.
He missed them.
“Ah… It’s really unfair.”
Peter laid on the grass and looked at the sky above.
When they first came to this world and didn’t know that this was Afirer Kingdom, they didn’t pay that much attention to this world. After confirming that there was no danger and so on, they basically simply continued on with their own life.
None of them cared too much about other things.
Now that he knew this is Afirer Kingdom, Peter felt complicated when he looked at the starry sky above him.
“You know, our last battle against those magic beasts… I can still remember that we can’t even see the sky above anymore. There are nothing more than magic beasts no matter where my eyes turned and there’s a kind of despair in my heart that I can’t express,” Peter said aloud.
He sounded like he was talking to other people, but he was actually only talking to himself.
And Peter knew very well that his current state was not very good.
But…
So what?
How many people could still have their closest friends, family members, and others?
Peter is an orphan and in this world, he gained comfort from the comrades in arms who fought against the magic beasts together.
It was also because of this that he would rather join the Martial Arts Association.
Yes, they have their own selfishness and so on.
But many people in the association were simple minded and only wanted to become stronger because they had people whom they vowed to protect.
He didn’t have any family members.
It was actually… very lonely.
Peter didn’t have anyone whom he could truly pour his heart to and right now, he felt as if he was talking to his comrades.
The people whom he used to be able to talk just anything and willing to back him up no matter what happened.
They were the best comrades.
Peter smiled at the sky above. “I don’t know if you’re watching, but to be able to see the blue sky and the beautiful stars in this world again, I already feel fulfilled. At the very least, the entire planet didn’t end up being completely destroyed…
Perhaps, there are some places that are completely unrecognizable, but the current place is very good. I just don’t know if there’s anyone who managed to survive and still staring at the same starry sky as me.”
How many people could survive under that grand magic beasts’ tide?
Peter didn’t know.
But he could guess that the number should have been extremely small.
The grand magic beasts’ tide swept over the city in an instant.
Anwan City was located near the border and there was even a passage opened up not far from this city.
Peter was still in the city when the grand magic beasts’ tide happened.
At that time, he was still talking and laughing with his comrades, joking around about the fact that one of them was about to get married.
He could remember that man’s silly smile when they mentioned about his sweetheart.
Everyone was laughing happily.
Everything seemed to be heading in a good direction.
But in the end…
Peter could remember as countless magic beasts poured out and no matter how much they kill, there would be endless number of magic beasts waiting for them behind them.
Again and again.
Some people knew that they had to close down the passage in order to stop the magic beasts.
But how could it be so easy?
Only those who were really powerful would have the chance to close it down, but these magic beasts would not give them any chance to approach it.
Even Peter was the same.
As a rank 7 warrior, he didn’t have the qualification to close down the crack, but he could try to open up the path for others.
Even if the chance is slim, he did it.
And he watched as his comrades sacrificed themselves, one after another, for the sake of the people behind them.
They hoped that their lives could help other people as much as possible.
They wished for their sacrifices to buy more time for others.
They prayed for the reinforcement to come and helped them.
Unfortunately, none of their wishes came true.
The magic beasts completely swallowed up the entire city, turning the originally vibrant city into nothing more than ruins.
