Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1045 - 1047: Reminiscence

Dina looked at Peter's earnest expression.

To be honest, she never thought that Peter would suddenly ask her such a question when they were in the midst of the grand magic beasts' tide.

Everyone was busy thinking about how to survive and how to deal with the grand magic beasts' tide, but he was actually thinking of such a thing.

Does he really need to pick such a time?

'Dina...'

Thinking about their short yet fulfilling time when they were in Afirer Kingdom, Dina's eyes shook for a moment.

It would be a lie if she said that she didn't miss it.

But she knew very well that nothing good would come out from the two of them having anything more than being friends with each other.

Dina knew very well what kind of person she is.

Her family education taught her to be a ruthless person ever since she was young and she would not hesitate to destroy other people's lives for the sake of her own future. There were many people who hated her to death and wanted to kill her.

But Dina never cared.

Because she knew very well that if she wanted to survive, this was the kind of world that she would have to face.

Living is tiring.

Sometimes, Dina felt that it was even scarier than fighting against the rank 10 lightning magic bird that would grant them almost a certain death.

Because she couldn't get away and those people would figure out various methods to suck out her blood and made her tied up.

She hated her family members.

Yet at the same time, it was thanks to their cruel education that she could survive in the cruel family and cruel world.

Without their help, she would have never been here.

Her family has never been peaceful and Dina never expected it to be peaceful either.

She had long known from young that her family was twisted with so many dark sides that were not suitable to be seen by the entire world.

If it was not because they had been raising her, Dina really didn't want to stay there even for a second longer.

Going to Afirer Kingdom was indeed dangerous.

But it was also a live that Dina could never imagine before. The family in Afirer Kingdom was kinder and even though demonic magicians were often hated and shunned, but many of them were quite united.

Well...

It was not like all of them were good.

Dina had to admit that there were many people whom she really wanted to kill among the demonic magicians.

Conflicts occurred almost every single day.

But it was far better than when she was staying with her family on the Green Planet, which gave her a stronger sense of belongings. So when she realized that everything was gone, Dina had to admit that she really didn't want it to end so quickly.

If only the grand magic beasts had never arrived...

Unfortunately, no matter how many times she lamented about this matter, she couldn't change the past.

Dina looked at Peter, who was so upright to a fault and sighed.

She could still remember how Peter did things and the conflict they had with each other when they were in Afirer Kingdom.

After all, their deals were not only filled with beautiful memories but also some conflicts.

Most importantly...

"You know very well that the way we do things are too different, Peter. Even if we can fight together occasionally, it's impossible to do it for the rest of our lives," Dina said quietly and looked up at Samuel and Riya who were still hovering in the sky.

To be honest, Dina herself could also fly in the air, but it would waste too much mana. Especially because her own physical strength was a bit too weak and if she forced it, she might end up experiencing nausea when she was staying midair.

Rather than embarrassing herself, Dina felt that it would be better to stay here.

But watching the two people midair...

Dina saw Samuel gently patted Riya's head and there was an imperceptible envy within her eyes that disappeared as soon as it appeared.

Even if she has some longing, she knew very well that she does not deserve it.

Her future paths would become even more bloody and perhaps even more cruel. It was not something that any morally right person would be able to accept.

The main reason why she still chose to help Continent Z to resist the grand magic beasts' tide was because Dina didn't want to lose her homeland.

She might not like the Green Planet as much as Afirer Kingdom.

But it was undeniable that this is her birthplace and also the place where she grew up when she was young until she become an adult.

There were a lot of memories she had made in this world.

And Dina didn't think that she would be able to watch indifferently as the entire world collapsed.

But...

She's by no means a righteous person.

The main reason why she spread out her meditation technique was to create a stable supply of mana for her own improvement.

When other demonic magicians died, their hard work would flow into Dina.

No matter where she is.

Thanks to this method, Dina was able to grow up quickly even with her poor talent that should have long limited her achievements.

What a demonic magician did was something against the fate.

It was also because of this that Dina knew that her future would become even more difficult.

But at the same time, Dina refused to change her paths.

This is the best path for her, a path that was filled with blood and thorns.

Many people might spurn her and hated her in the future, but Dina would not care in the slightest bit.

And in this arduous path... there was simply no place for a righteous person like Peter to stand beside her. He should stay on the opposite side, as far away as possible from her.
