Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 951 953: I’m Back

"I'm back," Ruth murmured in a low voice.

After spending three years in Afirer Kingdom, training repeatedly without anyone to talk to, returning to the Green Planet felt much more comfortable.

And with Ruth's return, she handed over the magic beasts' corpses that she collected.

Upon knowing that these were rank 8 magic beasts' corpses, Continent W immediately ordered strict order to stay quiet and not let other continent knew about this.

They didn't want to provoke any war before the grand magic beasts' tide.

Only Jonas Nolan came to Ruth and asked for some of these magic beasts' parts for his potions.

Ruth agreed and the two of them also trained together.

Jonas Nolan was only rank 7, much weaker than Ruth who was already a rank 8 magic warrior. But it was not like he was without means of protection.

It was just...

Many of his methods could only be used one time.

While these two people were basically training, the situation that was basically stable for more than one year started to tense up again.

Because their balance has been broken slightly.

"Do you really go to Afirer Kingdom?" Jonas Nolan asked during one of his discussion with Ruth in his laboratory.

The magic beasts' tide hadn't happened yet, so the two of them still have enough free time from time to time.

Ruth would not spend all of her time practicing and paid a visit to Jonas Nolan.

She didn't understand the principle of how Jonas Nolan made his potion, but it seemed to be quite interesting.

"Yes." Ruth nodded and looked at Jonas Nolan, who was focusing on his potion making. She knew that Jonas Nolan chose not to go because he would be able to play his role better if he stayed on the Green Planet instead of going to that world.

Besides, Jonas Nolan was not good at fighting and if he were to go there, he might end up bothering others instead.

He didn't have enough confidence in his ability to protect his own self.

"Do you regret it, Jonas?" Ruth suddenly asked.

Regret?

Jonas Nolan paused his action for a moment and then gave a bitter smile. "Even if I were there, what can I actually do?"

Just to see the destroyed Afirer Kingdom after the grand magic beasts' tide?

Jonas Nolan had already seen the destruction of his family in that world and he could never forget what he had seen at that time.

He was not a fighter but a support.

What he could do was to stay in the laboratory and continued to make potion after potion.

Jonas Nolan knew very well that he couldn't do anything.

Coming back to that world would only relive him of the pain he experienced at that time when he lost everything.

"I don't regret it," Jonas Nolan said. "I don't want to see that place anymore... not in my entire life."

Ruth couldn't see Jonas Nolan's expression, but she could hear his almost broken voice and was silent.

They all basically have formed their own bonds when they spent four years in that world. Because none of them ever thought that they could return to the Green Planet because they thought that they have 'died.'

As it turned out, they never died.

Their soul was only borrowed for a while to experience a fulfilling four years in a completely different world.

For many of them....

That world, Afirer Kingdom, is a much better world compared to the Green Planet.

Some of the returnees couldn't even accept coming back to the Green Planet and basically rejected everything from the Green Planet, only longing to go back once again just like Murin who seemed to have no intention of coming back.

There were also others who nearly broke down upon their return to the Green Planet.

Jonas Nolan felt that he had lost everything upon his death in Afirer Kingdom.

When he found himself waking up on the Green Planet once again, he could only cry.

Because he realized that he still have his family members.

His feeling was extremely complicated.

He lost what he had gained in the past four years yet at the same time, he regained what he thought he had lost four years ago.

Joy and sorrow were mixed together.

But at the end of the day, he had to continue living and not wallow up in sadness.

"There's nothing much to see," Ruth said as she looked at the window, staring at the scenery outside. "It's not a bad idea to stay here and do what you can instead of going there and realized the truth that there's truly nothing left."

While Ruth herself didn't regret coming back and saw it all with her own eyes, she had to say that it was not something she wished to recall.

Her friends, comrades, and others were all buried in the passage of history.

She was the survivor.

All because she came from a different world and had another chance to live.

It's painful.

But Ruth knew that there was nothing that she could do about it, because no matter what, Ruth didn't want to die yet.

Jonas Nolan took a deep breath and then said, "Yeah."

After that, neither Jonas Nolan or Ruth ever mentioned the matter of Afirer Kingdom with each other again.

They realized that this was a topic that would only invoke pain on both parties.

It's better not to talk about this.

At the same time, Ruth's return also made other continents somewhat restless. After all, the balance of power has been broken.

With Ruth being so powerful... what if she suddenly wanted to take action against them?

While it's unlikely, some people were still worried.

Continent Z was somewhat worried for their returnees.

What if their returnees didn't come back?

But just as they were fretting over this, the magic fluctuation from the island came from the second time and the second person came out. In around three weeks after Ruth's return, the second returnee also came back.
