Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1128 1131: Ruth (2)

Jonas Nolan's eyes trembled. "But you don't have to be the one to do it, do you? We can figure out something..."

"Jonas Nolan, don't be so naive." Ruth raised her head and looked at Jonas Nolan in front of her calmly.

Now that things had come to this, Ruth knew that there was no point in dwelling on the past anymore. She knew very well why she made that decision in the first place.

The problem is...

She's too weak.

Ruth knew this very well and her current ability was far from enough to deal with the grand magic beasts' tide.

She had to use the forbidden magic in order to deal with the magic beasts' tide.

That's why she used it.

Even if it meant that she had to trade her own life for it...

For some reasons, Ruth was wiling to do it.

"You want to say that other people are not as strong as the returnees?" Jonas Nolan asked back, his gaze was stubborn.

Ruth pursed her lips.

She knew that she's not alone.

There were also other returnees in other continents who were fighting hard and were dealing with powerful magic beasts one after another. They were still fighting on the frontline and doing whatever they could in order to stop the magic beasts from entering the Green Planet.

No one wanted to give up.

They all knew that their actions might not be enough to stop the magic beasts, but for various reasons, they want to stand at the forefront and fight together.

Jonas Nolan was also among them.

And it was precisely because Ruth knew that there was still Jonas Nolan on the back that she could focus her entire attention on fighting and made the decision to use her own life to end the battle.

"Yes."

"But they can still fight and then..."

"How did other returnees close the passage on their side?" Ruth interrupted Jonas Nolan before he could finish his words.

Jonas Nolan's word stuck in his throat.

He looked at Ruth in disbelief as if wanting to ask how she knew that when she was still lying on the bed like this. But when the words reached his lips, Jonas Nolan suddenly felt that he really couldn't say anything and only stare at Ruth quietly.

Ruth saw Jonas Nolan's expression and the corner of her lips curled up slightly. "I'm a wind element magic warrior, Jonas Nolan."

Her main and sole focus is the wind element.

At the last moment, she had truly become the embodiment of wind and this was something that Ruth could clearly sense very clearly.

It was something that Ruth had longed in her entire life.

Yet, she only achieved it when she was about to end.

Through that operation, Ruth came to understand more of the wind element and even though her current body was less than 10% of her real strength and there was also the weakness buff all over...

Ruth knew that there was something different with her current mental strength. It was through this difference that Ruth was able to sense what was happening in other places even though her own strength shouldn't have been able to support it.

Through this senses, Ruth noticed that there were many familiar mana signature disappearing.

It could be said that almost all returnees knew each other's mana signature.

Even if the Green Planet itself was quite big, but they could still sense each other's presence and whereabouts. Or at least, they knew more or less the location but not too specific.

Because unless they paid special attention to someone, it was absolutely impossible for them to find the other party.

Their mana signature was very obvious.

Ruth naturally recognized other returnees' mana signature and would not be able to make a mistake in this matter.

But...

Many of them had disappeared.

Did they die?

"Some returnees entered the passage and then disappeared," Jonas Nolan finally said, knowing that he couldn't hide the truth for long from Ruth.

Besides, he himself also knew that it was because these returnees were more powerful than others that they were able to sense each other's whereabouts.

Why should he hide this matter either?

Jonas Nolan felt that it would be useless.

"I see." Ruth was not surprised.

She could sense that from the 12 returnees in the beginning, there were only four left.

Her, Jonas Nolan, Peter, and Leon.

The others have all disappeared.

There were also other rank 7 magician or magic warriors from other continents and even Continent W itself whose mana signature disappeared.

Ruth guessed that they might have been killed during the grand magic beasts' tide.

'What a pity...'

A pity that they would not have the chance to see the Green Planet's return to glory.

But perhaps for many of them, it was enough to know that their effort would not be wasted by the future generation.

Ruth's eyes trembled slightly and then she rubbed her forehead.

"Don't move around too much. Even though the potion could help you to recover, but it still has to depend on your own body..." Jonas Nolan looked at Ruth with a complicated look. "In fact, I thought that you will never wake up."

Because Ruth's condition was not optimistic.

Ruth looked at Jonas Nolan in front of her and she could see the faint fear and uneasiness within Jonas Nolan's eyes.

Because there were only three returnees left.

And those who were left behind were the people who were not good at fighting and instead good at other things.

Jonas Nolan knew very well that without enough herbs, he was nothing.

Because his fighting skills couldn't defeat those powerful magic warriors.

Ruth retracted her gaze and looked at her hand, "I really should have never woken up."

Because Ruth knew very well that she was ready to sacrifice everything at that moment.

Her weapon, her strength, her life...

Everything that she could give, she poured it all into that one attack that shattered the passage.
