Chapter 938 I’m Sorry

Riya took a deep breath.

The video recording was still playing.

She had to listen to it until the very end.

At least… let her listen to what her master wanted to convey to her until the very end.

"As fate would have it, the child that appears in front of me is the child of rune master's path. As a rune master, I know very well that there are not many people who would be able to guide you.

I choose to take you in as my disciples.

Despite knowing that forming too close of a bond would not benefit anyone… I still can't help it.

I'm sorry, my disciple."

Riya's master knew very well that it wouldn't do either one of them any good to be so close to each other. Their time together was limited.

When the grand magic beasts' tide happened…

It would be the time for them to separate.

For both himself and Riya herself, it would have been better for him not to be so close to Riya and all.

But he was helpless.

When he saw Riya learning so diligently and pursuing the runes and formation, he knew very well that it was impossible for him to ignore Riya.

She's born to walk on this path.

And in his selfishness, he really wanted to be part of her journey.

So he still took her as his disciple and gave her a lot of resources, allowing her to become a rune master quickly.

Even though Riya was technically only an ordinary disciple and not a close disciple, this status was more than enough to let Riya enjoyed better treatment in the Rune master Association. Much more than what many other people could possibly experience in their entire life.

And having known Riya's real status, he ended up letting her to know more things that was beneficial for her growth and allowed her to rise faster.

Otherwise, it would be harder for her to advance to rank 7 so quickly.

The only good thing might be the fact that he had a lot of disciples and many of them were ordinary disciples. So adding Riya wouldn't be conspicuous.

As for the better treatment, they would only think that he was considering promoting Riya to be his close disciple but never implement it. Until the very end, her status was still only an ordinary disciple.

Otherwise, Riya would not have travelled far away on her own.

And in the end, she died in the hands of a group of rank 8 magicians and others in a battle for the world treasure.

"I don't teach you much and let you explore the world of runes and formation on your own because at the end of the day, your own path has to be carved by yourself. I'm nothing more than a guide during your early paths.

And I think being a lone magician suit you more during your time in this world.

I can see that you enjoyed the process of pursuing the runes and formation. This path seems as if it's carved for you to walk on it.

As for your magic…

I specifically recorded your soul's characteristic and mana into the formation. This will allow you to enter this room even after the death of your body in this world. Your mana characteristic should stay the same because it's based on your soul, but just in case, I recorded your soul too.

I have left behind some notes for your future paths as rune masters.

The rest had to be explored on your own.

You don't have to worry about me.

We have decided on who to send out of this world and the energy is limited, so there are only a few people who could be sent out. An old man like me are not included among the options and I still want to fight.

Even if the vision stated that the entire world will be destroyed… we have fought against the magic beasts for so many years. How could it be possible for me to back down all of the sudden?"

There was a confident smile on Riya's master's face at the end of the part.

He never thought about running away.

For many old people, they might value their lives as they had reached extremely high rank and was also very powerful.

Yet at the same time, they also knew that there was not enough mana to send so many people. So they could only select a few people who could be sent to other worlds and possibly stay there for a long time.

This could be said to be a way to continuing the lives of the people in this world.

Riya listened to her master's words and showed a bitter smile.

How could she not know?

Rune masters in Afirer Kingdom were often synonymous with cowards because of their fighting style that used the teleportation formation almost all the time. Some people even mocked them for running away from battles whenever they were about to lose.

For this matter, they usually turn deaf ears.

The most important thing is to stay alive.

So what if they were called cowards?

The reputation is not as important as their lives and none of them were willing to bet on their lives just to repair this reputation.

Anyway, rune masters were not exactly frontline battle profession.

Many of them were support members

So their reputation was not that important.

But even though rune master's reputation was really bad, when it truly mattered, many rune masters would not run away and instead fought until the very end.

Even if they were to used up their mana to create various magic scrolls to help the battle or something like that, they would continue to fight.

It was strange, isn't it?

And Riya knew very well that her master and her other senior and juniors would definitely do the same.

Because she herself will definitely step up to fight.
