Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 968 970: World Destruction

Long distance away in Afirer Kingdom, Riya looked at the mess around the gate and rubbed her cheek.

To be honest, she had no plan to go back so soon, but when she was training, she was interrupted by the violent mana's movement.

That was when she realized the truth.

The truth of the so called world's destruction.

The land disappearing, the air turned cold, and the space became turbulent.

What she saw was no less of the word destruction.

It's a complete end of the world.

"I see... sacrificing a world that's about to end to open up a new passage meant literally," Riya muttered as she looked at the destruction in the distance.

During her practice, Riya went to various places.

To be honest, her teacher's note had allowed her to find many places that were suitable for practice. Even if Afirer Kingdom had changed greatly because of the grand magic beast's tide, some places remained quite similar and Riya chose to follow her teacher's suggestion.

After reaching rank 7, Riya knew very well that her progress would slow down.

It was only thanks to her teacher's guidance that she managed to grow up quickly and all.

During her practice, she also created a lot of teleportation formation plates. Because Riya knew that as rune masters, her greatest advantage lies in the large amount of resources that she could make.

This would allow her to fight for days or even weeks without stopping.

The mana stone could help her recover her mana and the formation plates could be activated easily as long as she infused her mana.

With correct arrangement, these things could potentially help her to stop the grand magic beasts' tide.

Perhaps...

Riya had never seen the grand magic beasts' tide and she honestly didn't know whether her meagre preparation would be enough. Because Riya knew very well that compared to the other returnees who have seen the destruction with their own eyes, someone like her who had never seen it definitely couldn't understand the horror of the grand magic beasts' tide as well as them.

She could only do her best.

During her training, Riya also headed further away from the cities.

To be exact, she was heading further to the north where the border was located and that was when she sensed the change in her surroundings.

She was busy meditating and training, but something interrupted.

And this interruption was also extremely harsh.

Just imagine someone who was listening to music suddenly heard ear piercing cry 10 times louder than the music they were listening to.

It would be a miracle if they were not disturbed.

"...A complete world destruction."

The moment Riya opened her eyes, she saw the world destruction extremely clearly that made her heart constrict.

This is the result of the forceful opening of the passage.

The number of magic beasts on Afirer Kingdom might be large, but Riya knew very well that it's impossible for grand magic beasts' tide to have such a small number of magic beasts.

That's when she guessed that this is the world after the so called destruction.

But is the destruction was simply as destroying the facilities, city, and so on?

Riya had a lot of doubts in the past.

And now...

*rumble*

The sky was crying, the earth was shattering, and the air stagnated.

It seemed as if the entire world was crumbling away, slowly but surely. Everything was disappearing at speed visible to the naked eyes and if she didn't do anything, Riya knew very well that she herself would also be killed.

But she couldn't help but pause briefly.

Taking everything into her eyes, Riya felt her heart was grief stricken.

Because she understood very well that after this, nothing would remain from Afirer Kingdom.

The world where they used to live, even if it was only for a short period of time, nothing would remain in the end.

It was destroyed.

'Was it black hole?'

Riya didn't know.

She lacked sufficient knowledge and her senses were only telling her that it's dangerous.

Her rank was far from enough to fully understood the cause of such unimaginable destruction.

The only thing she knew is that it had to be the consequences of opening up the passage to another world forcefully.

"Will the Green Planet..."

Thinking about how the Green Planet, along with everyone who lived on the surface, will experience the same thing, Riya bit her lower lips.

No...

She couldn't let such a thing happen.

Even if she didn't actually care about everyone on the Green Planet, there were many people whom she didn't want to lose.

Her friends, her boyfriend, and her newfound family members.

Even if it was only for them...

Riya had to fight.

"It's really not fair for you to show such a thing to me..." Riya muttered to herself as she pushed all thoughts away and focused her attention on her own magic.

Afterwards, she activated her teleportation formation to get away from it as far away as possible.

She knew that if she was late even by a second, she might be caught in the space turbulence. Inside that space turbulence, even her teleportation formation might not be able to work so well.

Because the law of the space hindered it.

Unless she countered it with her own magic, she might even get lost in the space.

Swish!

Within a few minutes, she had returned to the areas not far from the gate.

This was when she and the others escaped at that time.

When fighting that rank 8 magic beast, Riya didn't have time to set up the teleportation formation.

The gap between rank 7 and rank 8 was too big.

She couldn't do anything and had to escape.

Because of that, she set up her teleportation formation in this cave not far from where she and the others landed during their escape using the random teleportation formation.

This might not be the best, but it was pretty good.

"The others have already gone back?" Riya muttered to herself.
