Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 462: The Demonic Magician (2)

With that, Governor Zachary left.

Peter glanced at Governor Zachary's back and silently shook his head as he washed his hand. "There's no point in worrying about them… for they who have chosen to take this path will not back down so easily."

People who have never been to that world will never understand these returnees' fixation towards their training, paths, and also the fact that they would not actually kill other returnees. Even if they 'compete' for one reasons or another, they would never actually point their sword towards the other party's heart.

Because the difference in the two world is very different.

Peter closed his eyes as he sat down, reminiscing the days when he was in that world.

He's a poor child, someone who couldn't even eat enough and had to travel to various places in order to train. Having tested his talent when he was in that world, Peter knew very well that he had no future to be a magician.

So he trained his body.

Day and night, like a madman who kept on abusing his body without any sign of stopping.

'From the moment we come to this world, our only way out is if we keep moving forward… to break the restriction of life and to welcome the future path that only we could carve ourselves.'

They have no time to care about the past and could only look towards the unknown future.

Live in that world is strange.

It was filled with both danger and peace at the same time.

If they didn't want to make progress, all they could do was to become an ordinary person for the rest of their lives. Nothing will change from the beginning to the end, just eat, sleep, and wait for death.

But how could they be willing to live a life like that?

There was indeed such a chance…

It was just all returnees never thought of living like that unless they truly had no other choice.

Amidst the difficulty to find the most suitable path, they managed to find a way to practice and carve their own path.

Four years.

Through those four years, they experienced various life and death battle, a different kind of struggle, and a completely different life.

And it was also after they reached rank 7 that they came to understand how the fragile balance of the world could be achieved.

They're geniuses on their own.

To be able to reach such a height in such a short period of time, it had long proved their excellencies.

Yet at the same time, it also proved how desperate they were to practice during that period of time. For their respective reasons, they have to keep moving forward at the fastest speed possible.

Peter didn't know about others.

But for him, he wanted to become stronger so that he could challenge all kind of people and enjoyed the feeling of progress. Sensing one's strength kept on getting stronger, who would not like it?

It was just that all kind of progress had to be accompanied by a lot of pain.

Pain from battles, pain from injuries, pain from losing, and so on.

"You're back?" Peter opened his eyes and looked at Governor Zachary who came back and looked hesitant. He smiled and said, "The other returnees should have told you the same thing as me, right?"

Seeing the confident and calm look on Peter, Governor Zachary felt a bit strange instead.

Because he was used to see Peter's reckless and lively side that it was a bit hard to believe the person in front of him is the same person.

What he didn't realize is that if Peter was truly only reckless and all muscles without brains, he would not have been able to survive for so many years in that brutal world. He had to struggle on his way up by himself and fought many people who wanted to bring him down until the very last moment.

"Yes, but this should curb down their interest," Governor Zachary said.

"Only for a while," Peter said and he stood up.

Because he was sure that once Dina reached rank 7, she would definitely reveal that secret about demonic magicians. Now that Dina hadn't reached rank 7, she would still restrain herself and not willing to expose too much.

Other people, including him, also knew about this secret, but they were not willing to tell others.

Because they had their own reasons.

"Peter?"

"You don't have to know… but you need to keep in mind that perhaps in the future, demonic magician's path will become more popular," Peter said with joking tone. He knew better than anyone how attractive the demonic magician's paths are.

If it was not because of his persistence and rapid progress through various battles he experienced, he might have chosen to become a demonic magician.

But there was no if.

He had chosen this path and Peter will continue to walk down this path to the very end.

"Forget it, I'm not good at talking about these problems. Just tell me where there are more magic beasts. My fists are itchy."

"Yes!"

…

In this way, the matter of the demonic magician's lifespan was spread out.

And since a portion of people have already started practicing and showed the result, many people put down their hearts.

They have a long way to go, why should they go down this path?

Isn't it more fragrant to go on the path of magic warriors or magicians? No matter how hard it is to become a magic warrior, it was still very stable. As for magicians… it might be embarrassing, but it would not cost them their lives.

However, it was estimated that their handsome image would be gone forever without any chance to return it in their entire life.

After all, everyone knew how these magicians sang and danced in front of those magic beasts….

There was simply no reputation left to say.

But in this way, things calmed down.

It was just that… not everyone is happy.
