Runemaster in the Last Days

"Tsk, the other returnees are simply annoying." In City J, Dina Alden was looking at the news in the official website with annoyance. The matter of her practice only spread out for three days and then the officials had already found a countermeasure.

Thankfully, there was no lack of impulsive people in the world.

There were still a lot of people who practiced the demonic magician way and Dina could sense their presence through the link.

As long as she wanted to, she could take their power.

But not yet.

They were too weak.

Even if she took their abilities, the improvement for her wouldn't be small.

'If I spread that news, it'll definitely be faster and spread wider… but I'm not sure I can control that scale.'

Dina shook her head and felt that the current situation was good enough. Unless she was truly desperate, she was not willing to spread that out.

Of course, if other returnees were to spread that matter on their own, then Dina would thank them properly.

After all, these returnees all have relatively amicable relationship only on the surface. They knew very well that they shouldn't kill each other because of the magic beasts' existence, but if someone wanted to provoke them, then they would not take it lying down.

Who among them could withstand such a thorough provocation?

They have lived in that world for a long time and would naturally not be willing to be insulted on the face.

Each of them had their own strength.

"Miss, Ruth is here to see you."

"Tsk."

Dina clicked her tongue and then stood up in annoyance. Ruth Karan Naira is also a returnee like her. But the difference was that Ruth had exceptional talent as a magic warrior and even developed to become an amazing hunter.

In that world, Dina had long heard about Ruth's life experience and was very envious of the other party.

Since Ruth came from a relatively ordinary family but managed to shine so brightly in the end… she had become the idol for who knows how many people in that world. Moreover, she's a famous female magic warrior with no lack of suitors.

Dina has always been jealous when she thought about that.

Because her identity meant that she would never enjoy such attention and love from other people. She will always be in the darkness and only the twisted people will worship her and be willing to look up on her.

She's a demonic magician.

This will never change.

Klack.

The door was opened and a woman walked in. She was dressed in standard army's clothing and looked solemn. Her blonde hair was tied into a ponytail and it swung slightly as she walked.

Ruth looked at Dina and said, "The government said that if you dare to do something like this again, I have to send you away."

"Just you?" Dina showed disdain on her face. "Even if your archery is powerful, do you really think that you can defeat me?"

Ruth narrowed her eyes and didn't answer.

She only came here to relay the message that the higher ups asked her to send. They gave her benefits and also trained her, so Ruth was doing her duty.

The two women stood in front of each other, seemingly ready to fight shall the situation need it.

But after a while, both of them retreated.

They had no intention of fighting against each other.

For they understood very well that fighting would not give them anything.

"Hmph." Dina snorted after Ruth had left.

If Ruth was not here, she could have long dominated the supplies here. Unfortunately, it was simply impossible for her to do that.

The governments were wary of these returnees and would arrange so that they would not be able to dominate… or well, to put it bluntly, they were trying to keep a balanced check on all parties.

Dina knew their moves very well as she had seen those things very often.

They didn't want any of the returnees to be particularly strong yet at the same time, they also hoped that these returnees could be stronger and eliminate the magic beasts.

Contradictory, isn't it?

Right now, the governments were still in passive situation and they were not willing to break the tension.

Everyone was keeping a peaceful appearance on the surface tacitly.

Behind?

Hehehe, everyone just wanted to send a knife to others.

If they could be strong on their own, why should they share it with others?

Dina was very disdainful for this kind of practice.

'If it's not because I can't deal with the magic beasts all over the world on my own, I would have kill you first.'

Thinking about those magic beasts, Dina felt headache. She had taken a visit to the crack and knew that there were so many magic beasts inside that her scalp felt numb. If she was the only person who eventually survived in the entire world, it would be too boring.

She had no interest to see things ended like that either.

So the best way would be for her to cooperate with other returnees and try their best to maintain the 'stability' of the world to a certain degree.

Of course, this is temporary.

None of them were willing to be lackeys of others.

But when there's a chance…

She'll eliminate her.

…

Bang!

Inside the crack, Riya and Samuel were still working together to kill the lich and the skeletons around it. These skeletons were disassembled and then the next moment, they would turn back to normal.

This made the battle basically never ending.

Whoever saw this scene would definitely feel despair.

"The magic source of the lich is still very strong… it's a rank 6 lich," Riya said with a frown. If they continued to fight like this, they would run out of mana before the lich.

Moreover, it was not cost effective to use high ranked magic against these skeletons.

What should they do?
