Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1049 - 1051: Why?

Glug!

Drinking the potion, Ruth silently recovered her mana while staring at the passage in front of her.

On Continent W, Ruth is basically the only person who could fight on the frontline among the returnees.

Because there were only two returnees on Continent W.

It seems unfair.

But Ruth knew very well that someone or something was deliberately controlling the strength of the magic beasts that came out of the passage. Otherwise, it would be difficult why her strongest opponents were only rank 9 flaming magic horses or other rank 9 magic beasts but there were some rank 10 magic beasts appearing in Continent Z.

Something was holding these magic beasts back.

But even if something was helping them, Ruth knew very well that it would be impossible for them to rely on that unseen thing all the time.

They had to eliminate all the magic beasts.

'But is it really possible for us to win this war?'

Watching the large rank 9 metallic magic tiger, Ruth felt that there were still a lot of enemies that she might not be able to beat. Even if she had heard that the other returnees were facing powerful magic beasts...

It's endless.

"Just how long do you want us fight?" Ruth muttered to herself.

Swish!

The wind element gathered around Ruth as she lightly jumped around in the air and aimed her arrow towards the large rank 9 metallic magic tiger. Her eyes gleamed and the bow seemed to respond as the elemental power increased once more.

Dzing! Jleb!

*roar*

With one last roar, the large rank 9 metallic magic tiger fell to the ground lifeless.

*pant* *pant*

Ruth didn't know how many times she had been fighting against these large rank 9 metallic magic tiger. She looked at her space storage scroll and looked at the number of potions left and felt her heart was bitter.

Despite the fact that Jonas Nolan has been stocking up potion for more than a year ever since he knew the matter of the grand magic beasts' tide, it was obvious that their supplies were far from enough.

Moreover, Ruth knew very well that the largest number of potions belonged to Continent W.

Other continents were all unable to use as much as them.

How did they fare when facing the grand magic beasts' tide?

Ruth looked at the passage in front of her, not wanting more large rank 9 metallic magic tiger to come out.

She really couldn't hold it any longer.

"A grand magic beasts' tide is truly worthy of its name... never-ending stream of magic beasts pouring into the Green Planet and what awaited us would be nothing more than destruction."

Ruth looked at the passage that had already started to spew out a large number of magic beasts.

Even if there were no large rank 9 metallic magic tiger, it was obvious that these magic beasts were growing in power and number. If there was someone controlling the number of magic beasts coming out of the passage...

Then they obviously have the ability to stop the magic beasts from coming to the Green Planet.

Then why?

Why did they have to let these magic beasts coming and pouring down into the Green Planet?

*roar*

Ruth shook her head and looked at the soldiers who have retreated to a safe distance and lightly jumped in the air, rushing to the safe place too. Her control over her wind element had increased rapidly in the past two months of life and death's battle.

Even though she somehow managed to advance to rank 9, she knew very well that this was an unconventional advancement.

And Ruth might not be able to make further advancement.

But she didn't seem to care that much.

In the past, she did have a lofty dream of reaching the peak and so on. With her talent, she did have the qualification.

Unfortunately, life can be long.

There were too many things that happened in between, making it impossible for Ruth to truly pursue it anymore.

Besides...

She's tired.

"Ready to fire! Ruth have already evacuated to the defense line!" Ruth heard the general gave the order and stood still on the wall, watching as the nuclear bombs they have prepared was launched.

'Ahh... has it reached this stage?'

The newly upgraded nuclear weapon has become even more powerful than before, which is why everyone had to evacuate further.

And after this, their battle would become even harder because the radiation would definitely hurt their bodies more than ever.

It was inevitable.

Ruth herself knew about this very well, which is why she also stepped back.

Even if her control over her natural element could allow her to protect herself, but Ruth didn't want to waste her mana.

*roar*

Seeing the passage shook and more large rank 9 metallic magic tigers were coming out, Ruth closed her eyes.

She was really tired.

It has been a while since she let her body recover mana naturally and had been using the potion or eating the magic beasts' meat in order to recover mana faster. Her body has been in the state of strain for a long time.

Just like a taut string... a little bit of force was what it takes to make it snap.

And right now, it was precisely what had happened.

With so many magic beasts practically flooding Continent W, it would be a miracle for Ruth to be able to stay calm.

BOOOOOOM!

The explosion was loud and countless magic beasts were engulfed within, which included the large rank 9 metallic magic tigers that came out of the passage. Mushroom cloud sprang up, telling everyone how terrifying the scene would have been not long ago.

*pant* *pant*

Standing motionless, Ruth watched everything with an indifferent expression.

It was not like she had no emotions, but she was really tired and even killing these magic beasts had made turn numb.

She kept on killing, killing, and killing.

To the point that she could no longer think of anything.
