Capítulo 932: Their Pasts (5)

The village was gone.

It was in the literal senses.

Even though there were still some items that indicated there used to be fields and houses over here, there were many trees and other plants growing on the place. Years have passed and after the land was left unattended, nature took its course and filled the place.

It was devastating.

Yet, it was also expected.

If there were no one who survived, who would have time to pay attention to these things and possibly take care of these places?

Despite knowing that, it was impossible for Ruth not to feel disappointed.

She came running here, crossing several rivers and valleys.

Knowing that they were back to Afirer Kingdom, there were some unrealistic hope brewing in her heart and now, Ruth realized that there was simply no hope.

It was obvious that nothing would remain here.

The people whom she used to know were also people who could not possibly protect themselves when the grand magic beasts’ tide happened.

‘Where should I go now?’

For a moment, Ruth felt at loss before her gaze refocused. When she came to this world, her main goal was to practice and not to figure out the past. They have no knowledge that they would enter the same world they used to be.

So how could they possibly think about figuring out what had happened after their death in the past?

It was nothing more than a momentary thought.

Now, she still has the Green Planet that will experience the same thing as this world, so she had to work hard to get stronger.

Swish!

Moving across the forest once more, Ruth made her way towards the other locations without hesitation.

Forest is basically her second home when she was in this world before. She was used to live in the forest and this time, she would try to deal with the magic beasts and got enough resources for her to advance to rank 8.

The methods that she had learned before were enough.

She just had to train step by step to become stronger.

...

Bang!

In the distance, Peter was rummaging through the ruins.

To be honest, Peter didn’t really want to do this either, but he didn’t have much practice method and resources above rank 7. Because of his background and the fact that he was poor, he often had to ‘steal’ other people’s knowledge secretly.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to learn those children magic spells and contributed them to the Green Planet.

The effects was a bit...

*ahem*

There was no need to mention the embarrassment during that period of time anymore.

Peter didn’t want to recall it either.

Anyway, when he saw those people’s gaze when they read what he had written, Peter felt that he was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig his toes into the ground and never resurfaced again in his life.

Ahhh...

The only thing he should be thankful of was the fact that he’s a warrior.

So even if he told them that he had heard of some magic spells and could write it down, they would never suspect that he was using it himself.

After all, he didn’t even have mana.

How could he use magic spells?

After advancing to rank 7, Peter could already sense the mana, but he had no plan to use it. Because he knew very well that his body has been trained and it was basically impossible for him to fuse it with mana.

Otherwise, he would have to spend a long time practicing the mana meditation and so on.

His body’s balance would be thrown off if he tried to introduce mana into his body.

So Peter didn’t try to be greedy.

The only thing he was greedy off was various practice methods from various places. The problem is, Peter didn’t know how true these practices were.

“Well, just bring them back home...”

For magician and magic warrior’s practices that he found, he could only bring it back and let the expert judge for themselves. Anyway, he had no plan on practicing it and only brought it for the sake of the Green Planet.

For the warrior’s practice, he could still judge whether it was really useful or not.

There were many low level warrior’s practice that he found but many of these magic scrolls had been damaged.

Judging from the extent of the damage, some of them were damaged by the battle, which he assumed to be the grand magic beasts. The others were damaged with time and the paper had worn off.

Mana is indeed useful.

But it was not omnipotent.

When the mana slowly dissipated from the magic scroll, the magic scroll would lose its effectiveness.

At that time, what awaited them would be nothing more than scraps that couldn’t be used.

Peter felt some pity for these magic scrolls, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to take advantage of this all the time.

It was already good enough that he could get some.

“Now, I better start practicing.”

After getting a relatively good magic scroll, Peter planned to practice in the forest first and kill some magic beasts. He didn’t know what the others were doing, but he hoped that they were also doing well like him.

...

Riya’s side

Riya was rushing over to Afirer Kingdom’s Capital City.

To be honest, the first time she came to this world, she was not living in the capital city but in a small village not far from the capital city.

She had no parents, no relatives, no one to rely on.

It took her some time to be able to gain enough funds to go to the academy and started learning about magic and so on.

Through the entrance test, she knew that her magic talent was not high.

But she was not discouraged.

Being able to come to this magical world, Riya would try whatever it took in order to be able to learn magic and all.
