Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1053 - 1055: Jonas Nolan (2)

But he couldn't.

And it was his family members who came to him and comforted him, letting him know that even if he was so 'useless,' there were still people who were willing to stay by his side.

Ah...

He knew that his family loves him unconditionally.

But Jonas Nolan always wanted to do something for them because the world outside was getting more and more dangerous.

He didn't want to lose his family for the second time.

And when his identity as the returnee was made known to the officials, there were many people who came to him and asked for his help.

Jonas Nolan couldn't fight.

Even if he were to raise his weapon, he was too scared to fight against the magic beasts directly.

Without any proper talent to become a warrior, his movements have always been a mess and it was truly a pain to look at.

Because of this, Jonas Nolan often stayed inside.

He knew that he couldn't fight.

So he should do what he could...

Make potion and teach other people how to make it.

Because only in this way he could possibly contribute and helped other people and ensure their safety.

Jonas Nolan thought that this would be the end.

As long as he continued to make potion and worked hard, it would be enough to pass through the difficult time and then the world will definitely recover once more.

At least, that's what Jonas Nolan was thinking.

But...

It's wrong.

When the first returnee reached rank 7, the beautiful pattern appeared in the sky. That seemed to signal something and Jonas Nolan remembered that he was only looking at it with the astonished look.

He didn't feel any jealousy, though.

Because Jonas Nolan knew very well that with his aptitude, he would take a long time to be able to reach that rank.

Since he had learned to accept his own weaknesses well, Jonas Nolan tried his best to accept that he was indeed not suited for combat related profession. It would be better to position himself as a logistic and stayed on the back.

In this way, even if Jonas Nolan finally reached rank 7, he knew very well that his combat power might not be as strong as a rank 4 magicians.

It's still pathetic to a certain degree.

But as an alchemist... Jonas Nolan felt that it's acceptable.

Being forced to experience a strange 'second life,' it was already difficult enough for Jonas Nolan to accept losing so many important people in his life. There were many times when he felt like giving up because he couldn't see any future.

The grand magic beasts' tide...

It's a nightmare.

And now that Jonas Nolan was seeing the scene of Ruth sacrificing herself to destroy the passage, he felt as if something was breaking inside him.

Jonas Nolan was not that close to Ruth.

But since the two of them were both returnees, after Ruth came to Continent W, he also spent some time communicating with the other party for various matters. It was also thanks to this that he had gotten closer to Ruth.

Even if they were not to the point of being close friends, they were still friends.

And Jonas Nolan treasured each and every single one of his friend.

It was also because of this that even though he accepted his role as a logistic and willing to stay behind and made as many potions as possible, Jonas Nolan still hoped that everyone could come back alive.

No matter what kind of enemies they faced, Jonas Nolan didn't want to lose anyone.

It's naive.

And probably stupid too.

But this was something that Jonas Nolan hoped from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't want to experience losses once again and felt that it would be better for him work harder and made sure that he prepared enough.

In the past year, Jonas Nolan barely rested.

He had to prepare enough potion for the entire world to prepare for the grand magic beasts' tide. Even if he had taught many other people on Continent W how to create the potion, some potion required better skills and better mana control.

So for the better potions, Jonas Nolan had to make it himself.

And the potion that Jonas Nolan made were specifically reserved for the returnees. Because they all knew that only the returnees could possibly stand a chance fighting against the magic beasts during the grand magic beasts' tide.

It was frustrating.

It was suffocating.

But this was the truth that they had to accept.

They were all weak and these returnees were the real strong ones who could fight against the magic beasts.

Without them, they couldn't do anything.

Even though many of these returnees were truly not built to fight...

"We're here, Mr. Jonas Nolan!"

"Make way! Where's Ruth?" Jonas Nolan saw that they were already at the wall and the space was distorted in the distance.

Considering the fact that Ruth is a long distance combatant...

Jonas Nolan hoped that Ruth could still be alive after sacrificing so much like this.

"Over here!"

"Ahh, there were many magic beasts appearing from the space!"

"Deal with them!"

...

Long distance away, the Green Planet's Consciousness was basically watching the scene with the same indifferent expression.

Truth to be told, even if Ruth were to use the forbidden technique, her ability was only slightly higher than average rank 10 magic warriors. And this strength was far from enough to destroy the passage.

Otherwise, other returnees would have done the same thing as Ruth.

It could be said that Ruth's lack of knowledge was the main reason why she was wiling to do this.

But since the Green Planet's Consciousness was watching and intervening in secret, Ruth's action still succeed.

Countless magic beasts that were close to the Green Planet still poured out and most of them were only rank 5 to rank 7 magic beasts.

The people from Continent W could still deal with them.

As for the passage...
