Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 964 - 966: Return

Sophia and the others chatted happily for a while.

And even though Sophia hoped that she could hear about Riya or Samuel, she knew that they couldn't really contact them temporarily.

She could only pray for them.

"Brother, I'm done chatting... Brother?" Sophia saw that Stephen was looking at his phone with a strange expression.

"It's nothing." Stephen put his phone away and chuckled.

Who would have thought that there could be such a coincidence?

They were just talking about him and he really did come back.

[Samuel had just come back, ah it's time for me to work hard again. I'll chat with you again later. - Ruben]

"Let's go."

"Yes, Brother!"

...

The fourth one to come back was Samuel.

And his return could be said to be something that many people has been waiting for. After all, he was one of the few most reliable ones on Continent Z.

At least, the officials felt that it was good for him to come back.

"It seems that I'm not late." Samuel looked around upon his return. When he went back to that gate, he noticed the sign of rank 8 magic beast that had rotted. Just looking at it, one would know that this magic beast had died a long time ago.

This made Samuel wonder if he calculated the time wrong.

After all, there was no calendar and many people often forgot about time when they were busy training.

Samuel was no exception.

He stayed outside most of the time so that he could see the sun rise and fell.

Otherwise, he felt that he might end up forgetting the time for their return.

At the same time, Samuel also saw the childish marks that the other returnees had created around the gate. But because of the passage of time, these things were no longer that clear.

The arrow stuck on the rotted rank 8 magic beast, the crater created by pure strength, the black land with scattered magic beasts' cores scattered around.

Samuel was sure that some magic beasts did covet those beast cores.

But in the end, they didn't take any of them.

Because the leftover magic fluctuation left by Dina was close to rank 9 and it was obvious that her strength improvement should have been extremely massive.

'It's good that they've grown stronger.'

What worried Samuel the most was that he was late to come back to the Green Planet and would miss the grand magic beasts' tide.

After all, Samuel had calculated the time....

More or less.

He was not quite confident in his ability to calculate the time, but he believed that the time was not up yet.

Because whoever sent them to this destroyed world would not have calculated this matter in advance. It, he, she, or they should have made some precaution to ensure that they would return to the Green Planet before it's too late.

Otherwise, they would be trapped in this world for the rest of their lives.

None of them wanted such a thing to happen.

Uh...

Wait.

A certain person named Murin might have thought about staying in this broken world for the rest of his life.

Considering how much Murin was disliked when he was on the Green Planet and the large amount of troubles he had created, Samuel would not be surprised if Murin decided to stay in this world instead.

'But is such a thing possible?'

For whoever setting up that teleportation formation to this world, they should have used up a large amount of resources to pull off such a thing.

And Samuel didn't believe that they didn't pay a huge price to pull off such a thing.

Would they allow them not to return to the Green Planet and defended the planet from the invasion of the grand magic beasts' tide?

Samuel believed that they wouldn't.

He was not sure whether Murin have thought about this or not, but he himself believed that there should be some kind of backup plans prepared to ensure that the resources spent on them would not be wasted.

At least, as a businessman, Samuel would always prepare such backup plans.

He would not allow the business plan to fail so easily because a lot of people's lives depended on his business projects.

Samuel understood very well the pressure he carried on his shoulder.

His every move would affect the Jones Corporation, so he had to be careful and made sure that he would not make a mistake that could cost them dearly.

Whoever sent them should have sacrificed a lot.

The meticulousness to be able to send them to a completely different world and the planning that spanned for such a long time made Samuel believed that there should be some kind of plans that he couldn't see.

Anyway, Samuel had no plan to stay there for a long time.

He had to go back to the Green Planet.

'It seems that Riya hadn't left any marks.' Samuel chuckled and then took out his sword. "Lightning sword."

Slash!

A large gash formed on the ground just beside the gate.

Looking at the lively ground there, Samuel chuckled and felt that even though it was a bit childish and all... it's quite fun.

Even if time will erase these marks in the future, at least it served their purpose of leaving their marks before their return. The people who should have seen these were the other returnees who also came to this world with them.

"Time to go back."

Samuel stood in front of the gate and sensed the magic enveloped his body.

Swish!

In an instant, Samuel was transported back to the Green Planet.

Now that he was back, Samuel was relieved that the grand magic beasts' tide hadn't happened yet.

The soldiers quickly greeted him and then escorted him back. Along the way, Samuel found out that only three other returnees had returned aside from him. Murin and Riya were still in Afirer Kingdom and no one knew their current situation.

"I see." Samuel nodded.
