Chapter 1191 - 1194: Beast World (2)

More than 10?

Riya was stunned when she heard this and then felt that it made sense.

Afirer Kingdom's planet had long foreseen its destruction and was unwilling to have such a tragic ending.

It should have left its backup plans in various planets.

Who knows who among them could possibly prevail in the end?

Her expression was a bit dazed and she only came to her senses when she felt her hand was squeezed. Raising her head, she saw Samuel looking at her with a mix of worry and then there's a hint of relief when he saw her responding.

"Are you alright?" Samuel whispered.

"Um." Riya blinked her eyes and nodded.

William looked at the close interaction between the two people, his eyes widened in surprise. "I didn't expect that you would still start a relationship after experiencing so much…"

"William, don't tell me you still have a grudge because she rejected you?" Alice interrupted before William could continue speaking and possibly offend the couple.

William froze and then looked away.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with having a relationship while we're doing this," Pena interjected, his eyes were looking towards William coldly. "It's everyone's freedom to do what they wanted."

Dina shrugged, but it was obvious that she agreed with Pena.

While she really wanted to complain about the dog food that Riya and Samuel spread out unconsciously, but she was not really against them having a relationship with each other.

After all, the world had changed but they were still a human being.

Was there anything wrong with them living their ordinary life and pursued a relationship with someone?

No, there didn't seem to be anything wrong.

Nalan remained silent, having no strong opinion in this regard on his own.

Ami was not close to any of them and her current appearance made it difficult for her to speak. This made her somewhat depressed because she realized that becoming a magic beast seemed to be harder than being a human being.

Murin…

Well, he was not paying attention to them. His attention was on the magic beasts around him and there was a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

His dream from the very beginning was to create a world where humans and magic beasts could coexist peacefully.

Why is it so difficult?

These magic beasts would attack directly when they saw him as if a wolf seeing a piece of meat.

He couldn't accept it.

But since he still didn't know much about this world and might not be able to survive on his own, Murin stayed in his place and followed obediently.

William smiled when he saw these people started to show their aggression. He laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you're right~."

Kyle swept his gaze across the seven people and moved his gaze away once again.

These people were not obedient puppies who will listen to the words of other people so easily.

They were all wild wolves who had fangs and were currently bidding their time.

But it's good.

Obedient people would not survive for long in this treacherous world.

"You're not such a good person after all." Dina sneered and she played with the pouch in her hand. "Did you put something inside these?"

Unfortunately, they didn't have any alchemist among them.

That alchemist stayed behind on the Green Planet and the Green Planet's Consciousness didn't make arrangement for him to come along with them.

Thinking about it made Dina annoyed.

The Green Planet's Consciousness should have chosen that alchemist to come along with them too.

"No, there's no tricks or anything inside the pouch. It's just as we said to you, used to confuse the magic beasts' senses to that they couldn't sense you," Alice explained softly.

William chuckled, not bothered by the blatant suspicion that Dina showed right in front of him.

Instead, he would be more suspicious if these people were to trust him so easily.

"Really?" Nalan raised his head, pressing for answer.

"They're not lying. If there's something in the pouch, we would not have been able to get out of those magic beasts' encirclement," Riya said lightly.

There was one more thing that she didn't tell them.

Her Protective Rune Circle has been active from the very beginning, but she shortened the distance and made it invisible to the naked eyes. So if anyone aside from Samuel came close to her, they would be counterattacked by the Protective Rune Circle.

A rune master would always put various mechanism in their Protective Rune Circle.

This naturally also include defense against illusion magic, soul magic attack, poison detection, and so on.

The mechanism was so complete that Riya once felt that her master is crazy.

Later…

Oh, she became the crazy one too.

It was the turns of others to look at her as if they were looking at a lunatic who has too much free time in her hand.

Because most of the runes that Riya made was not something that ordinary people could possibly make in their entire life. The combination alone was also more than enough to thoroughly destroy most people's schemes.

That is unless they were far stronger than Riya.

Then they could break her Protective Rune Circle on their own without the need for others' intervention.

But Riya could tell that William and the others were also at rank 9.

As for how strong they were…

It was hard to gauge.

After all, the inheritance for many paths were not complete due to them being too young to look at it. Even if they managed to enter Afirer Kingdom again, they would have to explore the paths forward on their own based on the existing records that they found there.

This would not be as easy as having a teacher pointing for them directly.

"I see." Dina trusted Riya and stopped asking.

William, Kyle, and Alice looked at the group of seven people and then their eyes locked onto Samuel and Riya.

It seemed that the nominal leader of this small group are these two people.
