Samuel arched his eyebrows.
"You don’t seem to be the type that attract hatred."
And not many people would be willing to offend a powerful rune master. Even if Riya might be only a rank 7 rune master in that world, but Samuel knew this very clearly.
That there would be no way Riya could offend them so easily.
"Ah... it’s a battle of life and death." Riya shrugged. "There can be only one person who survive and there are hundreds of people there. There’s a space lock that prevent me from using teleportation formation and then there’s a time treasure that prevent me from forming runes..."
If Riya had to say, the situation at that time was really miserable.
She was attacked from all sides and those people were using various treasures that wanted Riya wanted to vomit blood.
Space lock, time lock...
Samuel heard these two types of treasures and fell into silence.
If he was not wrong, even his family would not use that kind of treasure easily because it cost a lot to use even once.
Moreover....
"Did you face opponents higher than rank 7?"
"Yeah," Riya replied. "Opponents of the same ranks will never be able to beat me... I think that it’s the same for you."
Samuel nodded weakly.
Facing against rank 8 and rank 9 magic beasts at large number, Samuel could only try his best to fight until the very end. He did everything possible to save his life, but when he saw the fortress destroyed... he knew that there was no chance for him to go back.
Then he simply went all out and killed as many magic beasts as possible.
"But for the magicians to fight against themselves before the great magic beasts’ tide, they might face great punishment." Samuel thought about something else.
"Ah?" Riya blinked her eyes and then tilted her head. "I don’t think that they can bear any punishment when they’re half dead. I basically self destruct at the last moment to kill as many opponents as possible."
Samuel was silent.
The two of them looked at each other and the look in their eyes were surprisingly similar.
Because if they were truly forced to the dead end, what they would do was to fight until the very end even if it meant their own destruction.
"Self destruct should have also destroyed your soul," Samuel suddenly said.
"I know. That’s why it’s strange." Riya chuckled. "I believed that I have died in that world and when I come back to this world... there are times when I thought I was dreaming."
Dreaming of going back to that fateful moment when she should have died.
But there wouldn’t be anyone who would want to weave such a realistic dream for her and Riya knew this very well. So she didn’t think that she was still dreaming right now.
"Right." Samuel chuckled.
It was the same for him.
He also thought that he had died... many times he thought that it was that way in the beginning. Until he accepted everything and then simply strived to become stronger and reach the rank he used to have.
