"I can't compromise on this matter," Jonas Nolan said firmly.
For these returnees, they had the dream of reaching the peak.
Even if none of them communicated with each other, it was clear from their behavior that each and every single one of them only wanted to fulfill that unfulfilled dream. They had to face the grand magic beasts' tide in that world that ended in their own death, which frustrated many people.
Jonas Nolan was no exception.
He has been given the chance to start over from the very beginning. Even if the environment and the situation was a bit different, it would not change the fact that he wanted to fulfill the dream he had failed to achieve in that world.
The government wanted face and wanted to stand taller in front of the other continents.
Naturally, Jonas Nolan would help if he can.
But if their goals conflicted with his own goal, then Jonas Nolan could only apologize in advance because he had no intention of letting them decide on his life path. He's not a chess piece who was willing to be moved by these people all the time.
What he wanted was nothing more than having his own life controlled by himself.
To do this, he had to reach the peak.
"This…" the messenger sighed and then said, "I understand."
As the messenger left, Jonas Nolan turned his attention back to the potion he was making. He would not allow this kind of thing to affect his decision and life path.
For every single one of them had their own desire and power in their hands.
Since they have the power to determine their own fate… why not?
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.
Their number has only increased as time passed because he didn't stop making more skeleton army. Because of the appearance of that rank 7 rune master, Pena has been working even harder than before.
He received a message on his phone and Pena's expression worsened several degrees once again.
"Heh, the second person to advance to rank 7 is you, huh?" Pena looked at the sword formation on the sky and knew very well who it is without the need to ask.
The only person who's a renowned swordsman among the returnees could only be Samuel and he was indeed close to rank 7 back then. Now that some time has passed, it would not be that strange for Samuel to advance to rank 7.
"But I'm almost done." Pena looked at his army and laughed eerily.
The strongest necromancer would not only have a large number of skeleton army under him but also powerful skeleton army that was capable of defeating a lot of magic beasts. Countless magic beasts had died in Pena's hand and the number continued to increase.
He has been expending his mana to make his army hunted a lot of magic beasts.
After all, the skeleton army was not afraid of death or anything like that, so he could freely gave them order to enter the crack and killed as many magic beasts as possible. The corpses and so on would be brought up.
As time passed, the number of skeletons would continue to increase.
Naturally, his own rank also increased.
Now, he's already at the late stage of rank 6 and it wouldn't take that long for him to reach the peak of rank 6.
"Time to prepare for the ceremony." Pena's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
It was time for him to make a move.
Long distance away, Continent Y, one of the city base.
As the greatest opponent of Continent Z, Continent Y has always been paying close attention to Continent Z's movement. Moreover, the two returnees from Continent Z, Navi and Nalan were paying close attention to the other returnees. They couldn't accept losing to these returnees so easily.
After working so hard for so long, they kept on losing?
Unfortunately, fact seemed to slap them on the face once more when they received the piece of news that the second returnee who advanced to rank 7 also came from Continent Z.
"Damn it, they're going to be furious." Navi frowned when she saw the news shared to them. The government in Continent Y has been supporting them quite a lot and they naturally expected great things.
Unfortunately, it seemed that they were not comparable to these returnees from Continent Z in the slightest bit.
Just this fact alone made many people feel rather helpless.
"Tsk, it's mainly because they didn't enough," Nalan said without hesitation. He himself had reached the late stage of rank 6 but Navi was still at the middle stage of rank 6. It couldn't be helped.
He's a warrior while Navi is a magician. His advancement depends on the large amount of magic beasts' meat that he could eat while Navi had to depend on meditation and the magic beasts' meat couldn't help her much.
Even if they did pay a short visit to the crack from time to time, it was far from enough to fill up their needs.
Now, Samuel had reached rank 7…
They felt that they were lagging far behind.
"I'm going to take those treasures."
"And fight against a rank 7 magic beast?" Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
"Anyway, I'm already rank 6 and if we work together, it's not impossible to defeat." Navi sneered. The five elements around her flickered, showing five different color behind her back. "Are you going to follow me or not?"
Nalan looked at Navi.
His cousin was indeed very impulsive, but it was also true that Navi is strong. She was also right.
If they didn't take this chance to get some special resources… they might not have the chance to do it anymore in the future.
