Runemaster in the Last Days
Chapter 1155 - 1158: Pena
"Seven people," Riya muttered.
The moment she saw the passage closing down, Riya had no doubt that everyone had already arrived and that the Green Planet's Consciousness would not send the remaining returnees here.
As for the reasons?
Riya didn't know either.
What the Green Planet's Consciousness was truly planning to do or what the Green Planet's Consciousness wanted to do with them, Riya had no idea.
She just knew that the Green Planet's Consciousness wanted them to come here and fight against the magic beasts.
And now, all of them had gathered here.
Murin the Beast master
Ami the Soul magician
Riya the Rune master
Samuel the magic warrior
Dina the demonic magician
Pena the necromancer
Nalan the guardian warrior
Four magicians and three magic warriors without any pure warrior among them. It seemed somewhat unbalanced but Riya believed that this might be the best lineup that the Green Planet's Consciousness prepared.
The problem is…
'With all of our personality clashing, do you really think that we can cooperate together, Green Planet's Consciousness?' Riya couldn't help but complain in her heart.
The Green Planet's Consciousness was definitely messing around somewhere.
She knew very well that their differences were not only in their profession but also in their personality and code of conduct.
Do they really have to cooperate together?
…
Pena the necromancer chose to enter the passage after seeing what Murin did.
Even though he couldn't say that he trusted that beast master, he knew very well that Murin definitely wouldn't seek his own death.
Besides…
Pena might not know about the Green Planet's Consciousness like Riya and the others, but he had already sensed that someone seemed to be pushing him to enter the passage one way or another.
The conflict between Pena and the higher ups in Continent X was actually not that big.
Or at least…
It shouldn't have been that big.
What he wanted, Continent X couldn't give it and Pena was too lazy to talk with them. He chose the profession of a necromancer in order to bring the dead back to live but he could see that these skeletons didn't have any soul.
Even if they have inherited the fighting skills they used to have when they were alive, Pena could tell that their skills were extremely limited.
In such situation, how could he develop a proper army?
"The resurrection by the necromancer has never been a true resurrection. Do you still want to follow this path even though you know this?"
When he was in Afirer Kingdom, someone came to ask him this question and Pena also struggled.
Because what he wanted was a true resurrection from the dead.
Is there no such spell in Afirer Kingdom.
Or…
The spell actually existed but it was not something that the weak and useless Pena could possibly touch for the time being.
When Pena thought about it, he felt that it was somewhat reasonable.
After all, he also knew that his strength was really weak and it was almost impossible for him to know all the secrets of the world. The meeting with the necromancer path was a chance encounter.
A chance encounter.
Everything that seemed to be luck or nothing more than chance encounter flashed in Pena's mind before he chose to enter the passage.
He had no idea about the Green Planet's Consciousness or whatsoever.
But he believed in his own instinct that someone was manipulating the things that happened around him in order to push him to make this decision.
While it didn't interfere with him personally, Pena understood that each and every single condition was made in order for him to take this step.
It's unpleasant.
Because this made Pena felt as if his entire life was in the hands of someone else and was controlled to the degree he couldn't even make true free will decision.
Pena really wanted to have a good talk with that thing or someone.
But in the end, Pena knew that it was impossible.
"If I want to have a chance to have a showdown with that thing…. I need to have enough strength."
Watching his skeleton army being destroyed by the magic beasts that came out of the passage and leaving him with only a few intact skeletons, Pena knew that he had to make his decision.
And fast.
Because if he didn't make any decision, it was estimated that he wouldn't have the chance to survive anymore in the beast world.
Pena laughed when he thought about his conflicted thoughts.
He had never been a person who think too much and felt that it was useless to worry. He would just take one step at a time and see how it goes.
If it works, it works.
If it doesn't, then he would figure out other ways.
How difficult is it?
He had no idea, but this would not be the first time he was thrown into another world to experience a completely different world.
While Pena couldn't say that he liked it, at the very least, it would provide him with a chance of survival one way or another.
Swish!
In this way, Pena entered the passage calmly.
He expected that there would be a lot of magic beasts inside, but the Green Planet's Consciousness had already controlled these magic beasts not to enter the passage. In this way, Pena could be reassured that his journey until he reached the beast world would be stable.
Of course, Pena had no way of knowing this.
The Green Planet's Consciousness naturally noticed Pena's instinct had already noticed its interference in his life, but the Green Planet's Consciousness didn't care. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
If Pena could sense it, then it was fine.
But if he couldn't, then it was good too.
Because the Green Planet's Consciousness knew very well that the chance of these people coming back after going through this passage was less than 1%.
In the vast universe, how could it be easy for them to find a certain planet?
It was harder than finding a needle in the haystack.
