Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1065 - 1067: Hope?

As much as it pains them to admit it, the investigation of these returnees had clearly shown that none of them were true culprit who had caused the changes on the Green Planet nor were they the one who sent themselves away to a completely different world.

Someone or something else was the one who manipulated such a thing from the shadow.

They didn't know who it is.

These returnees also didn't seem to have any idea.

The first clue that they received about this person or this existence was after Riya advanced to rank 7.

A message came to her mind.

And Riya reported this matter to Samuel, who relayed this matter to Mr. Jones and then to the other officials.

Even if some officials were indeed a bit annoying and were unreliable, but some others were people who truly worked for the people and cared for them. So it would be better for them to know about such unsettling matter.

At first, some people were skeptical.

After all, Riya was basically the first one to know about this matter and it seemed a bit unreliable no matter where they looked at. It was not like they didn't trust her, but it seemed a bit unbelievable that she would suddenly receive such a message out of nowhere.

So they didn't take it that seriously.

That was until Pena and then Samuel advanced to rank 7 one after another. That was when they realized that what they have missed might have been something extremely important.

[Countless worlds have been destroyed.

My child...

You are selected amongst billions of people to prepare yourself to face the real invasion of the magic beasts. It would not be like the current situation where only rank 7 and below magic beasts existed.

On the year XXXX, the formation will lock onto this world's coordinate.

12 pillars have been selected.

To retain human's hope.

Let this be a reminder for you that the real battle has not yet begin. For your real enemies will not come until that time but this is your practice.

Practice for the inevitable battle that will come.

When the third rank 7 appears, it is time for the world to enter the second stage of training and when the sixth rank 7 appears, if it hadn't reached the year XXXX, the teleportation formation can be used for those who wants to go and explore the world they were about to face in advance...]

Every sentence of the message had to be studied in detail.

And for them to get the complete message, they didn't even hesitate to ask Pena about this matter.

Thankfully, at that time Pena was still more wiling to cooperate.

Besides...

Pena seemed to dislike whoever sending him that message and was really angry. When the officials said that they were trying to find out who it is, Pena even told them that they had to tell him if they ever figure it out.

Unfortunately, they didn't manage to find out anything.

What they could confirm is the fact that the message hold true because of the appearance of the second earthquake and the large number of magic beasts that appeared during that period of time.

It could be said that every continents were caught off guard.

Who would have thought that these returnees would advance to rank 7 so quickly one after another, provoking such an unwarranted disaster.

Then again...

Even without these returnees advancing to rank 7, there would be other people advancing to rank 7 one after another.

They wouldn't want to remain weak when they have been given such a clear method to get stronger.

The last one that allowed to believe the message is that portal in the island.

Six returnees went there and five of them returned.

No one knew what happened to Murin and no one could spend the energy to care about him either.

Right now, they could only hope that Murin didn't cause a trouble that would make him unable to return for his entire life. After all, if Murin could come back, perhaps he could help them to deal with the magic beasts.

...At least, some of them did have some hope.

But most of them felt that hoping for Murin to help them would be absolutely impossible considering his personality and goal.

In any case, they knew that these returnees all have received great gains.

They have become stronger and they also contributed a lot of resources and information to the continents.

With various technique basically flooding their database, it could be said that they could guarantee a beautiful future for the Green Planet as long as they could survive the grand magic beasts' tide.

Right now, the situation on Continent Z was relatively stable.

The cooperation between the returnees and the soldiers allowed them basically controlled the frontline well.

Even if there were some doubts and worry, nothing dire has happened yet.

They have long expected that the battle would last for a long time.

But who could guess that it would last for two whole months without stopping in the slightest bit.

In this situation, Continent W was the first one to break the deadlock.

They have already exhausted most of their ammunition, be it things related to magic or not, and had been begging for help.

That's when Ruth made her move.

Something seemed to have provoked her, making her do such a reckless action and tried to destroy the passage on her own.

Right now, Ruth is still alive.

But her current condition was far from optimistic and many even felt that Ruth would not be able to become a magic warrior anymore.

For a returnee who used to be so powerful to be reduced to this extent...

Who knows what kind of future would await her?

Mr. Jones only heard a bit.

And when the officials wanted his son or daughter in law to do the same because they didn't want to sacrifice Peter and had no confidence to persuade Dina, Mr. Jones only felt tightness in his chest.
