Runemaster in the Last Days

Jonas Nolan swore that he had been working hard.

Even though he was a bit careless and spend most of his time fiddling with his potion, he would never neglect his own practice.

Adjusting his glasses, Pena turned to look at the soldier and said, "Show me the pattern!"

"Pattern?" The soldier was stunned.

"When someone perform an advancement rank ceremony, there would be a mark visible from the sky. Don't you have satellite or something? Show the mark to me and it'll be easier to find out who it is."

There were a total of five returnees in Continent Z.

It was not impossible for them to mobilize their spies to figure out the identity of the returnee who advanced to rank 7.

But there was a faster method.

As long as they could see the pattern, they could guess who it is.

Soon, a picture was brought in front of Jonas Nolan. He looked at the picture in front of him and fell into silence.

"Mr. Nolan?"

"This is the mark of the runes," Jonas Nolan said slowly. "Only someone with high attainment in runes would be able to attract the world to form this pattern for him or her."

They all knew that there was a rune master in Continent Z. But the information of this rune master was extremely limited.

Aside from the fact that the rune master made a move in City J Base to fight against the magic beast's tide, the rune master has been keeping an extremely low profile.

So low profile that even the basic information couldn't be found.

There were not many spies left after the earthquake happened because everyone just focused on their own survival. Stealing state secrets or something like that has become more and more difficult and there was simply no chance.

Now…

"And the power of this rune master is definitely not weak," Jonas Nolan whispered in a low voice.

"I'll report this first!"

The soldier ran back but Jonas Nolan was not interested.

They all knew that when they advanced to rank 7, they would have their own advancement ceremony and the markings in the sky would definitely reveal their true identity. It was also because of this that they would not care too much.

As long as they made enough preparation before their own advancement ceremony, then they didn't have to worry so much about their advancement failure.

"But rune master, huh? I thought that it would be the warriors or the magic warrior who advanced the fastest."

Jonas Nolan walked out of his laboratory and looked at the crack's enetnrace not far from him. In order to facilitate him entering and exiting the crack from time to time to gather resources, he purposely made his own laboratory right beside the crack.

It was a risky move for sure, but Jonas Nolan is not afraid.

In the past year, he had entered the crack several times to get a lot of resources and even managed to get several special magic cores.

Perhaps, quite similar to Riya, Jonas Nolan also dared to enter deep into the crack because he had the resources to do so. The large amount of potion had allowed him to be slightly arrogant.

It was dangerous indeed.

But if he didn't take the risk, how could he advance through ranks so easily?

"It won't be so easy for magician to raise their ranks in rank 6, so if I want to be faster… I can only take more risks, isn't it?" Jonas Nolan's eyes were burning with ambition and determination as he looked at the crack's enetnrace in front of him.

He had accumulated a lot of potions during this period of time and there was also one follower who had reached rank 5.

Well, the officials of Continent W basically smashed most of their higher ranked resources for him so that he could advance through ranks quickly. Because they understood that having too few returnees meant that they had to cultivate their own elites.

Continent W didn't want to lose against other continents.

So they dared to take this risky move.

And the rest was used to increase the number of warriors, magic warriors, and magicians in the army.

"Hey, tell them that I want to enter the crack… this time I'll look for more resources," Jonas Nolan said to the soldier who had returned.

The soldier froze before replying, "Yes, Mr. Nolan!"

Jonas Nolan looked at the soldier's back indifferently. No matter what, he had to take this chance and strive to reach the peak of rank 6 as soon as possible.

…

Long distance away, Continent X, one of the larger islands

The gloomy aura has always enveloped this place, especially after Pena gathered a large skeleton army under him.

It could be said that there were a lot of dead people around Pena that he reused, fused, and break.

The actions could be said to touch the nerve of some people.

But for the sake of Continent X's interest, none of them dared to make a move.

The sole returnee from their continent was like this and there was simply nothing that they could do about it. Because if they didn't rely on him, it would be impossible for Continent X to rise.

"Mr. Pena, there's a report that someone had advanced to rank 7 from Continent Z," a soldier came forward to make a report.

Pena, who was fiddling with a large number of skeleton, paused his movements, raised his head and then let out a strange laugh.

"Would there be really someone who advanced to rank 7 so quickly?"

Advancement through ranks has always been a matter of accumulation of strength. Pena firmly believed that only if they had accumulated a large amount of resources would it be possible for them to advance to rank 7.

Otherwise, they would be too weak!

And there might be other threats that they have to face after they advanced to rank 7, which was simply not cost effective.
