Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1068 - 1070: Worry (2)

It was definitely not easy.

And none of them wanted to make the returnees' burden even harder than before, so they tacitly agreed to help from the back.

"I know... It's just that thinking that my brother and best friend are fighting all the time over there made me feel that I haven't done enough," Amelia replied while looking at the passage in the distance.

They were staying at the rear and the passage looked a bit small from this distance.

But her brother and best friend were even smaller.

Amelia couldn't even see them clearly from this distance. She only knew that they were there because there would be shaking from them defeating a rank 10 magic beast every few minutes.

Few minutes...

How much could one recover in such a short period of time?

Even the most talented in the army couldn't fully recover if he was only given a few minutes to rest.

But both Riya and Samuel had done it.

Over and over for more than two months.

"I know that you idolized the two of them, but Mel, you're different from them." Arnold shook his head and pursed his lips. "Even I can't compare to them."

Riya and Samuel were people whom Arnold truly looked up to.

Ruben was also the same.

This was one of the reasons why they have been working hard in the past year to catch up with them.

But watching their battle like this, Arnold truly realized how difficult it is to catch up. Whenever they thought that they had gotten closer, these people would tell them that it's wrong.

They were still far ahead.

But even if it was like that, none of them wanted to give up.

At the very least, they could still help from the back and not completely being thrown away by these two people's paces.

"...I know that much." Amelia pouted.

"And I think that neither of them actually want to fight for such a long time like this. Even Continent Z wouldn't be able to support their continuous battle." Arnold was more worried about Samuel and Riya's condition.

He knew very well that the two of them should have pushed themselves beyond their limit in order to maintain this balance.

This will allow more people to save their lives.

Yet at the same time, this would also put great burden on the two people's bodies.

They were not designed to fight continuously for such a long time and even the soldiers were already grew weary after fighting for such a long time.

Dina and Peter were not in a much better condition.

Even though the two of them had already advanced to rank 9 in the past two months, it was obvious that they were still unable to catch up with Riya and Samuel who could deal with a rank 10 magic beast.

Their limit was these rank 9 magic beast.

Perhaps if they cooperate together, they could still deal with one rank 10 magic beast, but none of them wanted to try it.

They were already tired enough.

There was no need to add more trouble on their plates.

"When will this war end?" Amelia muttered.

End?

Arnold couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Samuel, Ruben, and Stephen before Stephen left City A Base. At that time, the four of them gathered together on the rare occasion when Samuel was not spending his time in the crack with Riya.

After all, it was really hard for them to find Samuel when he was so determined to stay in the crack for such a long period of time.

None of them could understand what charms the crack have for the two of them.

"Fighting will allow us to get stronger... besides, people who have been fighting on the frontline for a long time can't really live an ordinary life anymore," Samuel replied with a sigh.

If he was determined not to fight again, perhaps it was not impossible to live an ordinary life.

But no.

From the moment he chose to let his entire family practiced meditation and body technique, it was destined that he wouldn't be able to live a peaceful and normal life that many other people have.

Though, Samuel didn't regret it.

This kind of life was not that bad in his opinion.

"I don't understand why you're so adamant on fighting all the time, but it's up to you." Stephen sighed when he heard Samuel's words.

No matter what, the three of them wouldn't be able to influence Samuel's decision in this area. Rather than mulling over it for a long time without being able to get any answer, it's better to leave Samuel be and focused on their own life.

"Hah." Samuel chuckled.

"By the way, you said something about the grand magic beasts' tide?" Ruben decided to steer the conversation to the important matters.

"Ah yes... You all know that the returnees are people who have experienced a completely different world, right?"

The three of them nodded.

This information was made public to a certain degree. No details were given and for most people, these so called returnees were people who have experienced an astonishing opportunity and then come back.

But the closest people all knew that the so called opportunity was for them to experience a completely different life.

Of course, they never actually asked for the details.

After all, they were not entirely sure that the life these people experienced would be pleasant.

If there were also bad experience...

It's better not to talk about it.

"The grand magic beasts' tide also happened in that world," Samuel said slowly, reminiscing into the past.

He really didn't want to talk about the grand magic beasts' tide or he would be reminded of how helpless he was at that time. Even though he tried his best, they were all being pushed back by the magic beasts over and over.

"I have never talked about it before, right? In truth, the way to come back to the Green Planet is to die in that world and my death is due to the grand magic beasts' tide..."
