Chapter 923: Sadness (2)

Capítulo 923: Sadness (2)

Swish!

Samuel and Riya entered the next ruined city that they found.

Along the way, they fought with a few magic beasts, but their strength were relatively weaker. There were no other rank 8 magic beast.

It seemed as if the one they had met before was nothing more than a coincidence.

Or perhaps the location of these rank 8 magic beasts were far away from one after another.

The two of them were not sure.

Besides, they were also careful enough to hide their presence and only bumped with a few rank 7 magic beasts that had higher perception and still noticed them.

It took them some time to arrive on this city.

The ruins were several times bigger than Anwan City they passed by before and the destruction was even worse. There were many skeletons littered on the ground, half trampled and half destroyed.

It seemed that the destruction of the city was even worse than the border.

Was there another passage opened nearby?

Samuel looked around the city with frown on his face. He knew this city, but this was not his real destination.

This is a transit city, a trade city that gathered people from various cities together to do trades. He often came here in the past, but he didn’t have many friends here. At most, some acquaintances.

Considering that he was not very familiar with them, he didn’t even know whether they would stay in the same place after the world was destroyed or leave through some other ways.

“I’m going to the east from this city,” Samuel said as he turned to look at Riya.

His family in this world was the overlord in a city to the east of this trade city. The distance was quite far and it might take him some time to go there.

Back then, he only came to this trade city once a month at most.

After all, he was busy with his practice and if he wanted to go back, he had to use the teleportation formation.

The teleportation formation existed in all cities.

So he rarely traveled through the wilderness like today and Samuel was not entirely sure that he would be able to arrive without meeting other magic beasts along the way.

Thinking about this, Samuel’s expression was not very good.

It seemed that he would have to travel on his own and it might take at least a few days. His training plan would have to be changed.

Then again, they have three years.

And this information was only known after they reached the teleportation formation on the Green Planet.

So the extra time could be used for him to take a look at his family’s previous location.

Perhaps...

Would there be any survivor?

Samuel’s eyes flickered.

He could still remember that many of his family members in this world died during the grand magic beast’s tide and no one could save them. He himself was also swallowed up by those magic beasts.

The pain in his body and the pain in his heart... it was basically a double mental blow.

Because of his status in the family, some people wanted to let him escape and live.

But how could he escape?

And where could he exactly escape?

The magic beasts were everywhere.

From the magic beasts crawling under the ground, to the magic beasts flying all over the sky, he could see that there was no safe place.

Even if he were to run away, what awaited him would be his own death.

And when he knew that there was basically no escape, he chose to stand firm and fought alongside with the others.

Rather than running away as a coward, he would rather die as a fighter who defended the city until the last moment.

He valued his life.

But if there was truly no escape possible, why should he try to struggle?

It’s better to kill as many magic beasts as possible.

“My direction is the north,” Riya replied in a low voice.

She had been trying to sense the other teleportation formation that existed in this world, but she couldn’t sense any familiar ones.

It seemed that these teleportation formation had been destroyed during the grand magic beasts’ tide.

Riya’s expression was a bit complicated.

Because unlike Samuel and the others who had watched the destruction of the world with their own eyes, Riya never had the chance to.

She died just a few days before the grand magic beasts’ tide.

Of course, she didn’t know that the grand magic beasts’ tide would happen in a few days after her own death.

Because that kind of information would not be passed to her.

She only knew when she discussed with Samuel about the news of some people’s death and how long it took from these people’s death to the start of the grand magic beasts’ tide.

The difference is only a few days.

If she had persisted for a few more days, what awaited her would be a desperate battle with these magic beasts with no hope in sight.

Even if she had never faced the real grand magic beasts’ tide, Riya had already faced countless magic beasts along the way.

When the second earthquake happened, Riya was standing at the forefront.

She watched with her own eyes as more and more magic beasts were pouring out of the crack, threatening to kill everyone in front of them.

It was a terrifying sight.

If all of those magic beasts were to enter the Green Planet, what awaited them would be nothing more than destruction.

An early destruction of the Green Planet...

Riya couldn’t let it happen.

And the only thing that she could do was to seal it off.

But when they were about to face the invasion of the magic beasts in the future... could she seal off the passage like what she had done before?

Riya highly doubted it.

Because her opponent would not be the weakened rank 7 magic beasts like before but the powerful rank 9 magic beast or even stronger ones.
