Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 1129

"But you're still alive, right?" Jonas Nolan looked at Ruth with hopeful look.

Since Ruth had woken up, doesn't it mean that she would get better and better? Even if the current Ruth is still weak, but she could easily get stronger again.

"I'm alive for now," Ruth replied slowly.

She could sense that her current condition was actually extremely bad. To be honest, Ruth didn't know what kind of medicine that Jonas Nolan used in order to prolong her life because Ruth had no knowledge in this area.

Even if she was living in the village for a long time, her knowledge of herbs were only limited to those that were useful for first aid.

Others?

Her brain was not good enough to remember it all.

"What do you mean for now?" Jonas Nolan had a bad feeling when he heard Ruth's words as if something bad was looming over them.

But he had checked Ruth's condition and didn't seem to see anything wrong with the other party aside from the weakness and backlash from the forbidden magic….

Wait, forbidden magic.

There were many types of forbidden magic in Afirer Kingdom.

While Jonas Nolan himself would not practice those forbidden magics because they were harmful, he still knew some of them more or less. After all, his own parents told him that he had to be prepared to face any opponent.

Who knows whether there would be desperate people among his opponents?

So Jonas Nolan learned many things about the forbidden magic.

This also allowed him to know that there were a few types of forbidden magic. One that was traded with lifespan, blood or other resources, and their own life.

The power that they could gain was also different.

In the case of forbidden magic that traded a certain amount of resources, the power would be smaller than others. At most, it could only double their strength and after that, they had to recuperate for a certain period of time.

If it was the lifespan, the power would be greater but could not exceed their own body limitation. How much the body limitation is, it would depend on the person themselves and Jonas Nolan himself was not sure about it.

As for the last one…

It was basically reaching the power far above their own strength, but the cost was that they will absolutely die after using it.

Either dying directly or they would have to wait for some time before meeting their end.

But they could not change this ending.

"I'm sorry," Ruth whispered in a low voice.

She could see her own soul and there she found her shattered weapons.

That attack she used at the last moment had long far surpassed her own body's limit, pushing her to reach the realm that she should not be able to achieve in her entire life.

The end result was that she was severely overloaded.

Her weapon had accompanied her for a long time, even when she was still weak and needed a lot of help from other people.

But this time, because of her decision, this weapon might finally met its end.

*sigh*

And Ruth could sense that her soul was dissipating, slowly but surely.

This is the cost of that forbidden magic.

"What are you talking about?" Jonas Nolan's voice trembled when he heard Ruth's apology. "I'll find other potion and then…"
