Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 956 - 958: One Year

Even though it was intangible and most people would not believe in it, but Navi knew that such thing existed.

Perhaps, she should just say that it was the law.

Or something?

Upon reaching rank 7, she was basically spending her time practicing and comprehending things, allowing herself to get stronger rapidly. She knew very well that upon reaching this rank, the most important thing would be her comprehension.

But Navi is not exactly the smartest student around.

She knew very well that there were many people who were far smarter than her, so she had to spend more time in her learning.

In this way, she managed to reach the peak of rank 7.

As for when she could advance to rank 8...

Navi didn't know.

She didn't think that it would be anytime soon, though.

Besides, only special resources should have been able to advance their strength so quickly after reaching rank 7. Being able to reach rank 8 within a year's time was already very good for many returnees.

But Ruth reached the middle stage.

And Peter reached the late stage, almost reaching the peak.

Now that Dina came back with such a forceful movements, the two of them could guess that she should at least at rank 8 middle stage or even late stage too.

This made them confused.

How did these people train in that world?

Is there really any special resources in a broken world that was about to be destroyed?

No matter how curious they were, they would not ask.

Besides, these six people would never tell others the truth that they actually spent around three years in that world instead of one year. They had more time to practice. Even though most of their time was spent on fighting magic beasts or running away, their training time was still considerably longer than the others.

Only in this way would it be possible for them to advance to rank 8 in such a short period of time.

"Afirer Kingdom," Navi suddenly muttered.

"Hmm?" Nalan looked at his cousin in confusion.

"It's nothing." Navi looked at the direction where Dina was located before turning her head away.

When she was in Afirer Kingdom, her master had already told her about the fact that she's not from that world.

To be honest, Navi was surprised when she heard it.

How did her master find out?

After all, Navi didn't directly enter the Red Tower upon her arrival in Afirer Kingdom. Instead, she was busy to settle the matter of her own family and also took her cousin to stay under her.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Nalan to walk on the path of a magic warrior.

The two of them supported each other in order to grow stronger and with her talent, Navi got the qualification to enter that tower.

She learned many things.

Magic is really fascinating.

And with so many elements in her hand, Navi learned that the world is so vast and beautiful. At the same time, she learned various magic that could be used, including some forbidden magic that should not be used until the last time.

After Ruth came back, she did reveal that she came to Afirer Kingdom.

And this matter was not specifically hidden from others.

Moreover, the message had more or less told them that these returnees were going to Afirer Kingdom.

For Jonas Nolan, who's an alchemist, he didn't want to go back.

Asking him to watch his family's ruins upon his arrival would only break him once again.

Because they all knew very well that they could never change the past and that only the memory of these people would remain.

So it's better if he never went there.

But Navi and Nalan would not have such qualms.

"If you can return to Afirer Kingdom, would you go?"

"No." Nalan's eyes narrowed. "I have no one I cared for there. Even if I did receive a lot of resources and knowledge, it's all the result of my hard work and I have no debts with Afirer Kingdom."

He worked hard in order to get what he achieved in that world.

And then he died.

But since he came back to Green Planet after his death, Nalan never thought about going back to Afirer Kingdom ever again in his entire life.

"Hoo~." Navi nodded, not surprised about that.

She used her magic to let the boat moved faster while looking at the sea beside her.

Even if she was given the chance to come back... Navi didn't want to go back either. Because she had already known everything she should know from her master before her death.

Her master might be kind enough to tell her many things.

This included the truth that she had long known that Navi and Nalan were not native of Afirer Kingdom.

However, her master still let them grew under her watchful eyes.

"We'll not interfere with your growth nor will we stop you from doing whatever you want."

Navi smiled.

That's what her master said, but she was still telling her many things. Through these things, Navi was able to learn a lot of things.

But just like what she told her master...

She has no attachment to Afirer Kingdom.

Even when she watched her master died, Navi didn't have much feeling and only felt that it's time.

Afirer Kingdom will be destroyed.

And the Green Planet would also suffer the same fate.

No matter how much they struggle, how could ants moved the elephant?

Those magic beasts were too powerful for them to handle.

Rank 9, rank 10, or even higher...

What are they going to do to deal with them?

Being only at rank 8, they were nothing more than ants in the eyes of these magic beasts.

Any kind of struggles are futile and having so many people to protect behind their back was even stupider.

Wouldn't it be better to figure out a way to survive than to care about the Green Planet?
