Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 1048

That's when the real ordeal truly started.

The Green Planet's Consciousness watched as the returnee fought bitterly. Countless other people around them died one by one when facing the magic beasts for these returnees couldn't always protect the others.

But the Green Planet's Consciousness never changed its expression.

It was still watching quietly.

"Two months of full fighting 24 hours a day… have you finally reached your limit?" The Green Planet's Consciousness whispered in a low voice.

…

Long distance away, Continent W

Bang!

*pant* *pant*

Ruth looked at the large number of magic beasts in front of her, her hand trembled. But even though she was so tired that she only wanted to sleep, she still raised her hand and aimed towards the rank 9 flaming magic horse that came out of the passage.

Dzing! Jleb!

In one move, the rank 9 flaming magic horse died in her hand.

Ruth knew very well that in the past two months, she had been forcing herself to the limit countless times.

With the help of potions and also magic beasts' meat, she was able to hold on and kill more and more rank 9 magic beast.

There were several species.

But the one that Ruth remembered the most was definitely this rank 9 flaming magic horse.

Because it was her first opponent that caused a lot of trouble.

When the rank 9 flaming magic horse first appeared, Ruth even doubted that she could defeat it. Because the wind element that she was best at was not very effective when facing the rank 9 flaming magic horse.

It took her several arrows to deal with the rank 9 flaming magic horse.

But now…

Ruth was able to deal with the rank 9 flaming magic horse almost as soon as it appeared because she had long memorized its route and attack methods. With the complete information in her mind, Ruth didn't have any problem dealing with the rank 9 flaming magic horse.

The problem is…

*neigh*

"It's endless," Ruth muttered to herself.

She didn't know how many rank 9 magic beasts that she have been dealing with in the past two months.

Even though Continent W had been preparing for the grand magic beasts' tide in the past year, but the ammunition was far from enough.

"Ruth, the higher ups is considering of using the nuclear weapon and destroyed the areas around the passage," the general called out.

Since Ruth was not that good at close combat, she maintained her distance from the passage.

Right now, the areas around the passage had long been turned into large crater. Countless rank 9 magic beast appeared from the passage and to deal with them, Ruth had to try sniping them from a distance away with her arrows.

This happened over and over again.

It was honestly extremely tiring, but Ruth didn't give up and continued to try her best.

Ruth doubted that it would work.

"Even if it would not work, at least it's something worth trying. Ms. Ruth, please retreat within the safe line," the general said seriously.

They have to try whatever means possible and this is their last resort.

The four continents secretly cooperated together to create this weapon because they had the feeling that if they couldn't stop the grand magic beasts' tide, what awaited them would be their own destruction.

So they might have to sacrifice a few areas…

But it's better than having the entire Green Planet destroyed, right?

For the sake of this plan, they all agreed that no matter where the passage appeared, the people around the area for more than 100 km in radius at the minimum had to be evacuated and no one was allowed to be nearby.

Because their own defense line has been pushed further and further to the back.

"…I understand." Ruth sighed and then waved her hand. "You go back first and I'll follow up in 15 minutes."

"Yes!"

The general didn't hesitate and leave.

Ruth looked at the passage in front of her.

Since she had just killed the rank 9 flaming magic horse, the next rank 9 magic beast will definitely take some time before it would appear.

But…

"I have to kill it."
