Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 948 - 950: First Returnee to Come Back

Through various trades and so on, the relationship between the three continents could be said to be very harmonious.

It was basically because they needed each other.

Every continent has its own advantage and disadvantage.

So they just use this chance to play around.

As for Continent Y... it was not like they didn't have anything to trade with them, but what they could give was simply various technology before the world changed that they didn't have. Their own returnees were like that and it was hard to get them to agree.

Besides, none of them came from support type professions.

It was not like they could force these returnees for many things, right?

They had already tried and nearly died when they negotiated with one of them, thus they chose to give up trying to negotiate more things with the other two. If what awaited them was another battle, it would be better not to come forward.

They couldn't afford to keep on fighting with these returnees and weaken their own forces. Because when the time comes... they would have to fight against countless powerful magic beasts.

There was no time for an internal fighting.

Anyway, these returnees were still fighting against the magic beasts.

And sometimes, the aftermath of their battles would leave a lot of magic beasts' corpse left untouched.

For Ami the soul magician, she didn't need it.

For Nalan and Navi, they didn't need so many magic beasts' corpses and Navi didn't have any use of the lower ranked magic cores.

So they left these behind.

The officials were naturally not picky and took these things over as much as possible, enriching their pocket even though they actually did nothing. It could be said that they were picking up the leak of these returnees.

Among them, the hardest to catch was Ami, who was usually in the state of soul.

Some magic beasts could launch soul attack, which irritated her so much, but she still had to fight from time to time.

At other times, Ami would be quietly resting under the shadow.

She didn't like sunlight.

In fact, all soul magician didn't like it because if they stayed under the sunlight for a long time, it would slowly burn them.

It was different from ordinary fire, but they would feel as if they were on fire.

This was one of the inconvenience of soul form.

Perhaps because their element was closer to dark instead of light, they would also feel uncomfortable under the daylight.

In this way, Ami was usually active from sunset to dawn before resting.

Many magicians no longer needed sleep after reaching rank 7. They could completely replace their sleeping time with meditation.

But usually, for the sake of their bodies that were weaker than warriors, they still opted to sleep and rest from time to time. This would allow them to replenish their strength and prevent them from unable to perform normally due to physical weakness.

Ami is a soul magician.

And since she had basically fused her physical body with her soul state in the way that would allow her to live differently, she didn't need to sleep anymore.

Unfortunately, even after fusing with her body, it didn't erase her weakness of not being able to stand under the sunlight in the slightest bit.

This was something that Ami had always regretted.

But the weakness during the day was still a bit irritating.

Unfortunately, this was the price for power and every profession has their own advantages and weaknesses. For soul magician, the lack of physical body meant that she didn't have to worry about any kind of physical attack. But at the same time, soul attack worked wonders on her.

So she always tried to avoid the magic beasts that could do soul attack.

And after she killed these magic beats, Ami couldn't really use their corpses or their magic cores. She could only leave them behind.

And these were taken advantaged of by the officials.

Even though Ami was annoyed, but she couldn't really destroy them all.

After all, many times, she had to run away quickly before more magic beasts came because of sensing her presence.

While she's basically in the soul state most of the time, fusing with her physical body meant that she could also appear in her physical form from time to time. So it would not be a problem for her to fight physically with these magic beasts.

The problem is...

A soul magician didn't really need these magic beasts' corpses nor magic cores. She couldn't use them and when Ami faked her death, Riya's space storage scrolls haven't been distributed widely to Continent Y yet.

This meant she had no ways of storing them even if she wanted to.

Coupled with her stiff relationship with the officials from Continent Y, Ami felt that if she came to them with these things, the officials would most likely want to rob her instead of negotiating with her.

Because they have suffered so much from the returnees.

The officials from Continent Y should be the one with the most PTSD among all other continents available.

Ami didn't want to seek death.

So she could only take the mana that these magic beasts exuded after their death for her practice and then left as soon as possible.

Living while running like this made Ami annoyed, but she still has to wait.

Wait until that passage was open.

At that time, her plan will really start.

...

Even though only one year had passed on the Green Planet, three years have actually passed in the other world where Riya and the others were located.

They were all located in different places and will not communicate with each other.

Moreover... there were basically no method of communication available.

At most, Riya knew that Samuel is alive and vice versa. But because they were busy with their own training, they didn't bother looking for each other.

Afirer Kingdom is really vast.
